Chapter 533 Unprecedented New Record
Chapter 533 Unprecedented New Record
After the restart of the game, Chelsea's morale was obviously affected, and the forward pass became very impatient. They no longer relied on Jorginho to organize the offense. Hazard and Willian successively used their excellent foot skills to Robertson and Alexander-Arnold on both wings. pose a threat.
However, as time went by, the Liverpool players with high morale gradually suppressed the Chelsea players' offense through active running and tacit replacement, and regained the opportunity to organize the offense forward.
The tacit understanding between Mane, Firmino and Salah is getting better and better, putting increasing pressure on Chelsea's defensive end. Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri decided to take the lead in making substitution adjustments.
Since the score was two goals behind, Sarri's substitutions were direct adjustments to two positions.
The more mobile Morata replaced Giroud, Moses replaced Willian, and the formation changed from 433 to 352. Rudiger, David Luiz and Azpilicueta formed a three-back, and midfielder Marcos Alonso, Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic and Moses, Morata and Hazard form a double forward.
The broadcast immediately changed sides and gave Liverpool coach Klopp a close-up shot of his face. The meaning he wanted to express was very obvious, that is, he hoped to see Klopp make tit-for-tat adjustments.
Football matches often attract attention in addition to the on-field games. The battle of wits and aerial confrontation between the two head coaches off the field can also bring different attention.
The positive effects of Morata and Moses being on the field are obvious, especially Morata. His mobility caused a lot of trouble for Van Dijk and Joe Gomez, thus allowing Hazard to make consecutive passes. Opportunity to participate in the offense.
Three minutes later, in the 66th minute of the game, Liverpool made the first substitution of the game. 'Swiss Messi' Shaqiri replaced Salah. This substitution was very surprising. .
Almost everyone thought that Klopp would replace offensive players with defensive players, but the result was to make adjustments for the offensive end. Shaqiri, who came off the bench, appeared not as a right winger, but as an... offensive midfielder. The winger position is...Li Qing!
Li Qing came to the familiar right wing position, and the pressure felt by Chelsea's defensive players obviously increased. Li Qing's attacking midfielder position itself has many players facing him, but it is different when he moves to the winger position. The same defensive base Coming to defend the left wing will inevitably cause Chelsea's defense in the center and right wing to be tight, and may even expose huge hidden dangers.
But there is no better way for Sarri. What the team needs now is to score goals.
In the 70th minute, Chelsea switched from defense to offense. The defensive players were worried that Li Qing would pose a huge threat when he counterattacked with the ball. The range of forward assists was very limited. It was difficult to create a fatal offense by playing more with less and understanding each other's skills and characteristics. Chance.
"Klopp's adjustment this time is crushing!"
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei gave his evaluation.
Li Qing, who is familiar with the right wing, gradually showed his best performance on the offensive end. Breakthroughs and passes can cause waves of frightening exclamations to erupt above Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea also paid two yellow cards for this. What made the Liverpool fans in front of the TV depressed was that Li Qing's direct free kick failed to score again, otherwise he would have created a miracle in world football!
Manchester City coach Guardiola, who was sitting in the audience, felt desperate. His team would visit Anfield in the next round. Liverpool was able to lead Chelsea 3:1 under the leadership of Li Qing in a passive situation at Stamford Bridge. , which is enough to explain a lot of problems. Although Li Qing did not perform four free kicks, there is really nothing to say about his state.
Five minutes later, Chelsea made the final adjustment. Barkley, who had transferred from Everton, replaced Kovacic to strengthen the attack.
Compared to Kovacic, Barkley has better speed, body and scoring ability, and is more familiar with Liverpool.
Originally, Sarri's adjustment was very targeted, but Barkley was a bit impatient in defense and his tactical execution was not high enough. These two obvious flaws were fully exposed when he defended Li Qing for the first time.
In the 79th minute, Li Qing made consecutive passes with Henderson and Firmino before suddenly cutting inward to dodge Kante. Barkley, who was defending, was also swung past by Li Qing with a realistic fake move. With a strong sense of responsibility, he forgot the instructions of head coach Maurizio Sarri, and also forgot that there was Jorginho behind him. He tripped Li Qing, who had completed the breakthrough, on the right side of the top of the penalty area.
"Beep~"
The referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle and showed Barkley a yellow card while signaling a foul.
"Fake!"
Sarri yelled and shook his hand angrily. Compared with Li Qing's previous two direct free kicks that did not hit the goal range, this position is obviously more dangerous.
China Channel 5 commentator He Wei's voice rose an octave: "Ross Barkley's foul was too impetuous. He gave Liverpool a direct free kick in an excellent position!"
Barkley, who committed the foul, also realized that he had made a big mistake, but he was helpless. Professional players are often like this. Football can pass, but people cannot.
Goalkeeper Kepa has the urge to curse. Couldn't you be a little bit off-center for the foul?
Are you trying to trick me by giving a direct free kick from such a good position?
The Liverpool fans in the auditorium and in front of the TV were full of excitement and anticipation.
Chelsea fans were frowning and worried.
It is certainly a good thing that Li Qing set a record of four direct free kicks, but their team will always be in the background. Those Chelsea fans who are Kepa fans are even more depressed...
If Chelsea becomes the background business card, Kepa will always be nailed to the wall of shame, so Kepa nervously arranged a six-man wall, sometimes asking his teammates to move to the right, and sometimes asking his teammates to move to the left, until the main goal Coach Anthony Taylor reminded Cai reluctantly that the wall was properly arranged.
When Li Qing saw the Chelsea wall set up, he bent down and picked up the placed football, turned it around a few times, then lowered his head and kissed the football, his eyes gradually becoming sharper, like an eagle looking down at the earth.
He saw Kepa through the wall of people who was constantly adjusting in small steps. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he had the best plan in mind.
In the past, both direct free kicks were so focused on the perfect combination of angle and power that they were unable to hit the goal. This time, the position was better and the psychological pressure on Chelsea players was greater, so we can start from the psychological aspect.
"Beep~"
Just then, Anthony Taylor blew his whistle.
All the fans at Stamford Bridge looked at Li Qing with bated breath as he started to run. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and goalkeeper Kepa even swallowed his saliva.
Hazard, Jorginho, Kante and other Chelsea players are constantly praying, hoping that God can stop Li Qing.
The six Chelsea players acting as a human wall watched Li Qing swing his left foot and subconsciously jumped on the spot. Goalkeeper Keita looked above intently.
damn it!
He was so nervous that he saw the football rolling quickly from the bottom of the wall to the far end of the goal against the ground. His pupils shrank suddenly and he was stunned for half a second. It was too late to react...
The football hit the snow-white net in the lower left corner of the goal. The air in the Stamford Bridge stadium seemed to be completely frozen at this moment, forgetting to make any sound. He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, reacted very quickly and was ecstatic: "The ball is in! The ball is in!" Go in! Li Qing created a miracle in the st minute of the game! The first player in world football to score four free kicks! Incredible performance!"
