When the first half ended, there were sporadic booing at Anfield Stadium, and Reds fans couldn't help but complain and ridicule about Chelsea's ugly and negative style of play.

But in fact, this will not embarrass Chelsea. On the contrary, in their eyes, Liverpool is a little anxious!

Their tactics can successfully curb Liverpool's performance, which is a good trend!

In the past two years, the Chelsea generals have never been as focused, peaceful, calm and at ease as they are!

Mourinho may not be a highly creative coach, but he is definitely a coach who can solve the problem. Chelsea's 45 minutes away against Liverpool was definitely the most difficult 45 minutes after Situ Yunbing took over Liverpool.

After Situ Yunbing returned to the locker room, he arranged midfield tactical adjustments in a intensive manner.

Perhaps at this moment, Alonzo missed someone even after Situ Yunbing came from Hamburg to Liverpool.

De Bruyne!

In the 2012 Champions League final, when Hamburg played against Chelsea, Chelsea also defended the entire army, but the combination of De Bruyne and Rakitic could still create a threat to the Chelsea defense through exquisite passes in the midfield.

It is undeniable that in the modern football position, De Bruyne is definitely the most creative player. His passes are more concealed and imaginative, and can accurately and vividly reflect what a scalpel-like pass is to tear the opponent's defense!

Several midfielders in Liverpool's team are indeed not as good as De Bruyne in this regard, and this gap cannot be filled by the number of players.

But now Liverpool does not have De Bruyne, and Situ Yunbing's adjustment ideas must also develop in this regard.

Erikson will replace Robertson and make his debut.

Coutinho retreats to the position, and Liverpool will change to 352 in the game!

And it's an asymmetric 352.

Situ Yunbing buys time to set up the team's playing style after the change of formations, so that everyone in the team needs to concentrate on avoiding internal problems after this adjustment.

After adjustment, Situ Yunbing clapped his hands and said to everyone: "I have said before that we are experiencing the Long March, and this road will not be smooth sailing. Now the challenge is right in front of us. We must firmly believe, be full of courage at all times, and be fearless of any difficulties!

Remember, even if we lose the ball first, it doesn’t matter, the knockout round will not end today, and we will eventually be able to enter the Champions League semi-finals!

Come on, count 5.”

Everyone gathered in a circle and stretched out their right hands and folded them together. After counting down 5 times, they shouted in unison: "Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool, I will win the game!"

The Liverpool generals walked out of the locker room in high spirits.

The two teams changed sides and fought again in the second half.

There will definitely be no major adjustments on Chelsea. They did a good job in the first half. If they continue, they will likely receive a result that satisfies them.

For Mourinho, he doesn't have to think about how to play at home now. As the weaker side, he will only value the result of this game, and even cut the game into two parts of the first and second half to prepare.

However, Liverpool's half-time adjustment still surprised him.

"Liverpool completed the substitution before the start of the second half, Eriksen took the field to replace the left back Robertson!

In the last midfielder, with a full-back removed, Situ Yunbing strengthened the team's offense, but it may also bring hidden dangers to the defense line!"

Mourinho's eyes were calm and his mind was turning rapidly. He was not sure if this was a signal of Liverpool's imbalance in mentality!

If the offense is not smooth, strengthen the offense. This approach is superficial, but it can easily turn into a gamble!

But after the game started, Mourinho shook his head slightly, Situ Yunbing was not at the point of gambling with him, so he couldn't do anything at all!

Because Coutinho retreated from the front line!

In this way, Liverpool played an asymmetric 352 formation and was clear at a glance.

Coutinho is on the left wing of the midfield, Eriksen is on the middle and Gerald is on the right wing.

Because there is one left back on the back line and Liverpool has not adopted the three central defenders' positioning method, Azpilicueta is still active on the right side, which means that when Azpilicueta assists, Liverpool only has two central defenders in the backcourt, but Casemiro will inevitably retreat because the number of midfielders has increased, so this kind of linkage is also a very conventional operation.

However, this series of complex changes must be completed in a short halftime break and ensure that every link is not wrong. It requires high tactical design of the head coach, high game reading ability, and high team overall tactical execution!

Liverpool does have these conditions.

Gareth Bale and Suarez are in a fixed position. They stand in parallel between Chelsea's full-back and central defender, which is the two ribs on the Chelsea's back line!

The two forwards obviously reduced their range of activities in the second half. In the first half, they took the initiative to respond, and the roaming area was very large, very active but very low efficiency. Now it seems to have become a standing stance style. This style of playing is very retro, which makes Mourinho feel ominous in his heart.

In the 51st minute of the game, Liverpool's midfielder initiated an offensive. Azpilicueta received a pass from Gerald on the right side in the forward insertion. When William and Ashley Cole blocked Azpilicueta's forward line, Azpilicueta made a 45-degree cross from the side. The football landed in the right rib of the penalty area. Suarez quickly stepped forward, and Cahill took the lead in the retreat and cleared the ball.

The football that was cleared was controlled by Kanter in the midfield, who quickly moved the offense to the left.

Coutinho pushed forward less than 10 yards and quickly sent out the oblique plug.

The line is to break through the left rib of Chelsea’s defense line!

Gareth Bale quickly stepped forward and took the ball before Terry took control, continued to dribble forward and shook the ball out of the angle, then took the ball across the front of Chelsea!

Louis dared not stretch his legs when he returned to the middle of the goal. It was too extreme. It was easy to hit the ball and it was an own goal!

Suarez flew away from the back point and shot, but he was still one step slower. The ball speed was too fast to catch up!

But this scene is definitely enough to make the Chelsea defense line burst into a cold sweat!

They may be only a few dozen centimeters away from losing the ball.

Mourinho's face was not very good at all. Under static defense, Liverpool adopted the main attacking style.

Liverpool has also adopted a relatively static fixed-point offensive approach!

With frequent oblique plugs or diagonal passes across the top, Gareth Bale and Suarez's forward insertion is always a threat. Once Chelsea cannot resolve the situation immediately, they may encounter danger in front of the goal.

At this time, if Chelsea wants to curb Liverpool's offense, they need to take the initiative to destroy it!

In the 56th minute of the game, when Coutinho's cross-top pass on the left was cleared by Terry's header, Ivanovic kicked the ball into the frontcourt with a big foot on the wing.

Hazard ran quickly in the frontcourt, chasing the football landing point, but when the football fell down for the second time after bounced to the ground, Benatia headed the ball back to the penalty area. Ter Stegen attacked and hugged the ball.

Hazard's chance to fight back was gone.

Liverpool continued to adhere to the style of play formulated by Situ Yunbing and constantly tried to attack the opponent's defense line on both sides.

In the 60th minute of the game, when Mikel, William and Ashley Cole came together to encircle Gerald and Azpilicueta, Gerald quickly took the ball to find Suarez, but this time he did not send a straight pass.

In the past 15 minutes, Liverpool has made many attacks against Chelsea's defense, which is essential to make the Chelsea defender more proactively tend to retreat and block the line of the straight pass when facing Liverpool's offense!

In this way, once there is room on the back midfielder, the pressure Liverpool players will encounter will be reduced a lot!

Although the halftime break is not long, Liverpool's tactical design is intertwined!

Seeing Suarez taking the ball, Luis and Cahill immediately stepped forward to press, and Mikel also returned to defend and steal.

Suarez kicked the ball back with one kick.

Eriksen, who followed up in the middle, was about to go to the middle area in front of the penalty area and could take a kick. Lampard decisively moved sideways to intercept the ball head-on.

At this time, Eriksen passed the ball diagonally in front of the penalty area and went to the left.

Gareth Bale turned around and started off the offside running, which made Terry dare not act rashly.

Coutinho cut inside under Gareth Bale's cover and went to the left side of the penalty area and stopped the ball and adjusted it, followed by a right foot to complete a shot!

Football flies straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!

At the critical moment, Cech saved the ball with one hand and saved it from the bottom line!

Coutinho couldn't help but clenched his fists and looked regretful.

But the Red Army fans in the stands were very excited!

"Coutinho's shot almost penetrated Cech's fingers!

But Cech made a world-class save to resolve danger!

Liverpool's offense is gradually threatening!

After the midfield adjustment, Liverpool's offensive style was completely different from the first half. They reduced the local cumbersome cooperation and played more simply and directly, but they can still see the effect of their overall cooperation and cooperation.

This conflict is also classic!”

Mourinho couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe his mouth and chin.

Liverpool's team change really made him unexpected. Now that Chelsea needs to further strengthen its defense, he immediately gestured to the team to allow them to strengthen their protection in the middle!

There must be no problems in the middle lane.

Liverpool coach Situ Yunbing also calmly made gestures to the team.

The midfield lineup adjustment is a tactic that Liverpool has basically never played before, so it needs to be strengthened in many details, and the evolution of playing style also needs to be gradually improved.

After 15 minutes of fighting in the second half and the team performed well, he could allow the team to generate some rich changes based on the existing style of play!
Chapter completed!
