On the court, as time passed, the pace of the two sides' attacks slowed down slightly.
In the 13th minute of the game, Sarri found on the sidelines that the players on the field insisted on passing the ball on the ground in the midfield and backcourt. Facing Liverpool's relay-style pressure, he made mistakes one after another, and Liverpool kept regaining the ball in the frontcourt.
After launching the offense, he stood on the sidelines and began to direct on the spot.
Soon, Chelsea's formation changed.
In the 16th minute of the game, Chelsea, who was being pinned by Liverpool in the area 40 meters in front of the penalty area, suddenly pressed forward.
After Zhang Lu saw this change, he immediately said: "Sarri reacted very quickly. Seeing that the team's formation was rounded and flattened, he immediately asked the players to press out and expand the defensive tension between the midfield and backfield!
"
In the 18th minute of the game, Gomez received the transfer ball from Robertson on the left wing and suddenly advanced with the ball. After crossing the center line, he quickly distributed the ball to Mo Yang, who was in front of Salah on the right wing.
As soon as Mo Yang stopped the ball, Alonso rushed up from the backcourt, and Kanter also rushed over in the middle.
In the past few times when facing double teams like this, in order to control the ball and avoid losing the ball and being beaten behind, Mo Yang mostly chose to pass back to reorganize the offense.
Kanter glanced back as he leaned toward Mo Yang and found Henderson behind him, so he took an extra step to the right, ready to intercept at any time.
But the next second, Kanter saw Mo Yang suddenly pass the ball forward to the left.
The ball provided by Mo Yang was quite comfortable and accurate, right in front of Salah.
Salah lowered his center of gravity, directly blocked Jorginho who rushed up from behind, and at the same time let the ball pass to his left foot before stopping.
After stopping the ball, Salah happened to face the goal.
At this moment, Salah saw Rudiger at the top of the left front arc rushing up like a heavy tank, obviously intending to attack Jorginho from the front and back, preparing to make him into a sandwich biscuit together.
.
In front of the end line of the penalty area on the right side of the arc, Salah ran into Rudiger head-on.
Just when the two were about to collide, Salah leaned on Jorginho, and then quickly used the change of center of gravity to trick Rudiger into shifting his defensive focus to his right. He quickly used the tip of his left toe to
Move the ball backwards to the left, and then easily pass it from the left.
"pretty!
"
"goal!
!
"
“Salah!
!
!”
Salah's successful breakthrough this time made everyone excited.
But Kovacic came back from the top of the arc very quickly, forcing Salah, who was already facing Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa, to shoot at the intersection of the penalty arc on the right and the end line of the penalty area.
"Oh!
!
"
"No!
!
!
!
!”
"..."
Watching Salah kick the ball into the stands behind the left goal, the Red Army fans were speechless.
Klopp also looked helpless on the sidelines.
On the wing, Mo Yang rubbed his face vigorously. He felt that something was wrong with Salah recently.
Since scoring goals in the first few games of the season, he has obviously been in good form during this period, and his breakthroughs are very beautiful, but every time he hits the goal, it always seems to be like this.
After Salah knocked the ball away, his face darkened, and he turned back to look at Mo Yang with a guilty conscience.
Seeing Mo Yang looking at him with a curious look, he suddenly felt even more guilty.
Don't ask, Salah actually doesn't know what's going on with him.
Since playing in the World Cup, he has always felt that his last shot felt a little bad. The wonderful feeling he had with his kick last season seemed to have suddenly disappeared.
He was also very anxious during this period and even consulted a psychiatrist about it.
But it seems to have little effect.
After the game entered 20 minutes, Mo Yang slowed down the pace of Liverpool's attack, allowing his teammates who continued to press hard to take a breather.
As a result, as soon as his side slowed down the tempo, Jorginho quickly picked up the tempo, allowing Chelsea to pounce on him immediately.
From the 22nd to the 26th minute of the game, Chelsea overwhelmed Liverpool and carried out a positional offensive battle that lasted for more than four minutes.
The ubiquitous three-legged pass made it difficult for Liverpool players to press in front of the penalty area, and they couldn't let go to prevent Chelsea from receiving set kicks.
In the 28th minute of the game, Liverpool once again launched an attack from the left, but after entering Chelsea's half, they were directly blocked.
After Henderson leaned over to receive the ball, Kante was there and Jorginho was on the left, directly blocking his path to the other half.
Henderson was forced to pass back.
Gomez took the ball from the center line of the left half and was pressed by Morata, forcing him to drive horizontally towards the center.
Seeing Alexander-Arnold coming back from the arc in the middle circle on the right half, Hazard followed not far behind him. Max and Max didn't dare to take the risk and chose to pass directly back to Alisson.
Alisson stopped the ball and waited for several seconds before suddenly passing the ball to the left.
After getting the ball, Van Dijk continued to move forward. After Willian and Jorginho rushed over from the left and right, he suddenly started to pass long to the wing.
But his kick was not accurate and he did not find Mane who was advancing along the wing. Instead, Azpilicueta on the inside returned the ball to the top.
Kante rushed to the ball and saw Firmino rushing towards him. He met the ball and passed it back to Luis in the middle of the defense.
After Luis stopped the ball, he didn't waste much time. After adjusting, he quickly pushed forward and passed to Hazard on the left side of the arc.
The moment Luiz passed the ball, inside and outside the center circle of the Chelsea half, Hazard was outside the arc on the left center circle, Kovacic was in the center circle, and Jorginho quickly approached from the right half.
Form an inverted triangle position.
Behind Hazard, when he saw the ball coming, Arnold immediately stepped up and tried to steal the ball.
But as soon as he passed by, he saw Hazard knocking the rolling ball directly to the left, and then Kovacic continued to touch the ball and pushed the ball to Jorginho.
Jorginho took the ball and waited for Henderson to come up. He knocked back in front of Kovacic who turned around, and successfully broke Liverpool's midfield press with a simple triangle pass.
Kovacic dribbled the ball past the kick-off point and quickly sent a through ball.
The ball rolled in front of Arnold and behind Gomez, and rolled directly to the left rib area at the top of the arc.
Two seconds later, Hazard met the ball in the left rib area, moved forward, and entered the penalty area on the left. Then he quickly got up before Gomez, who was back on defense on the right, came over to interfere with him.
Push the ball towards the right goal with your foot.
As he approached the goal post, Alisson did not expect Hazard to be so decisive. He subconsciously made a move and dived to the left side.
But Hazard's kick was so fast that it jumped out from under him, crossed the goal line, and hit the side netting on the right side of the goal.
"Goal!
!
!
!
!
!
!
"
“Goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!
!
!”
“Buzz!
!
"
The moment the goal was scored, the Stamford Bridge stadium turned into an erupting volcano, and a surge of cheers soared into the sky, making people's heads buzz.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, the moment Sarri scored, he clenched his fists and jumped to his feet.
Klopp, who was next to him, waved his hands and returned to the coaching bench with a dark face.
"Hazard! King of scoring goals! Sixth goal in the league!
!”
"Oops, Alisson was slow to make the save this time!" In the pp sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun was also surprised by Chelsea's smooth attack.
"It's very smooth. This is the hidden danger left by Liverpool's high-pressure in the midfield and frontcourt. Chelsea hit behind for the first time!"
Zhang Lu began to analyze and said: "Chelsea's attack was too fast this time. They took advantage of the time when Mo Yang ran to the left, immediately transferred the ball to the right half, launched an attack directly, and hit the fatal blow!"
"This time in defense, Arnold's side was completely empty behind him, but I don't blame Arnold. He went up to defend Hazard. He thought Salah would come back, but Salah did come back, but only came back.
Stop running away halfway!"
"Hehe!" Zhang Lu chuckled, "So in the fast-paced confrontation between top teams, a slight negligence can be fatal!"
On the court, Mo Yang was also very helpless.
Who is to blame for this goal? Mo Yang doesn’t know. If he has to find someone to take the blame, it can only be Salah. He won’t run even if he is asked to run halfway.
Otherwise, he can directly target Hazard on the left rib!
