At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool and Chelsea's grand strategy is dull.

Both teams deliberately restrict their opponents, which is also a process of testing.

After the test phase passed, Mourinho believed that Liverpool's attack firepower had dropped a lot compared to when he had played against each other, so he decisively demanded that the team's offense be more aggressive!

In the 25th minute of the game, Felipe Luis assisted to the frontcourt to receive the pass from Matic, and then created space for Hazard to cut in when he was dribbling down. Hazard cut inward and received the pass from Louis. Before Kant and Van Dijk formed a double-team against him, Hazard quickly passed the ball to Diego Costa.

This time, Costa was slightly hesitant after receiving the ball from behind and stopped the ball, but Coolibali broke the ball.

Mourinho frowned when he saw this scene on the sidelines.

The first thing he felt was that Costa was distracted by something.

But it is not certain.

Costa was too alert, worried that he would be violated by Louis!

Compared to normal confrontation, Costa knew that if Kulibali wanted to invade him, he would definitely be sent directly to the stretcher!

This is essentially different from a reasonable collision. Unknown vigilance will naturally distract him.

Liverpool suddenly launched a fast attack. Gareth Bale retreated from a large distance from the left to meet. After controlling the ball, he did not advance along the side, but instead led to the steering wheel in the middle. This made Fabregas lose his position while following Eriksson and hurried back to intercept Gareth Bale on the front, Eriksson had already reached the left. Gareth Bale passed the ball diagonally back to the left and quickly stepped forward.

His forward insertion was very eye-catching, which made Chelsea's middle defense immediately approach him to compress his play space. Eriksen took a cross from the side and hung the ball towards the back of the penalty area!

Terry and Cahill were shocked!

Due to Gareth Bale's forward insertion, Vardy pulled back and went to the back point of the penalty area, and they missed someone!

Vardy headed the ball directly against the falling football, a god-given opportunity!

When the football he pushed out flew to the upper right corner of the goal, at the critical moment, Courtois seemed to be like a divine weapon falling from the sky and jumping into the sky to lift the ball up above the crossbar with one palm!

The Reds fans immediately sighed with disappointment, and immediately gave Valdi an applause.

"Valdi's header almost opened the first record for Liverpool!

Courtois' save is simply amazing!

He sealed off all the theoretical blind spots!

Chelsea strengthened the third line in the summer, and the most important signing on the defense line is Courtois!"

Situ Yunbing was somewhat disappointed. In the game against Chelsea, Liverpool could not get many opportunities, so if one missed, one would be missing!

Mourinho's expression was condensed and he gestured to his disciples to make them more flexible when defending!

They need to be vigilant about the most when they are not aware of playing cards from the wing to the middle and disrupting Chelsea's defense.

Because of the regular static offense and defense, Chelsea's defense basically won't expose any flaws when the players do not lose their positions!

Four minutes later, when Oscar received a pass from Fabregas on the right side of the frontcourt, he pretended to knock the ball back to Ramirez who followed in the middle. When Robertson stepped forward to block it, he pulled the ball down and changed direction, and passed the fake fax!

After dribbling down the ball, Oscar quickly passed the ball!

The route that the ball passed was not in the penalty area, but in the front of the penalty area, it was on the left side.

Liverpool's defense line was retreating and failed to clear the ball as soon as possible. Hazard stopped the ball after cutting inward and quickly dialed against Casemiro's counterattack and quick-pitched ball to complete the escape, and then shot out with a strong shot!

This half-high ball flew straight to the lower left in the middle of the goal, which is extremely threatening!

Ter Stegen rushed out and held the ball in his arms with both hands!

Anfield echoed with applause and cheers from Liverpool fans!

Terstegen stood up and looked calm.

"Hazar's shot failed to test Ter Stegen. Maybe it would be better if the angle was tricky!"

Situ Yunbing looked thoughtful. When the game was in a stalemate, he would always consider whether to make some designs and changes in tactical details.

Chelsea's defense is stable and there is no good breakthrough yet, but Liverpool is always right to try it.

So he gestured to the team, allowing Mahrez to move to the middle, and Eriksen's position was also tilted to the left.

In this unilateral attack on Ivanovic, he will give Gareth Bale as much support as possible.

Gareth Bale is the one who can rely on the most on the front line now.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Gareth Bale responded from the left and faced a slid attack from Fabregas and Ivanovic. He passed the ball forward because he saw Eriksen's diagonal forward.

Matic immediately went to the wing with the defense, but Eriksen stopped the ball and knocked the ball back diagonally back to the front of the penalty area.

In a crowded area, Mahrez got the ball first, and because there was no passing line, he directly shot!

The ball hit Terry's leg and bounced out of the bottom line.

Mourinho continued to emphasize on the sidelines that defense should go from static to more proactive and active!

Only in this way can Chelsea keep up with the changes Liverpool has been trying to attack.

In the 37th minute of the game, when Ivanovic cleared the ball in the backcourt to the frontcourt, Costa was pressed by Culibali from behind and lost his position when he was competing for the football landing point. After Culibali cleared the ball, Costa did not make any obvious small moves of resistance or confrontation from beginning to end.

This made Mourinho's expression turn gloomy.

He turned and walked to the coach's seat to spread his hands and complained to his coaching team, "What is Diego doing? Is he asleep? I can't see his fighting spirit or his beastly nature. I'm really a ghost!"

As Mourinho's most trusted assistant coach, Faria held his chin and looked up at Mourinho and said: "Maybe it's because he is afraid of Culibali."

Mourinho was even more furious and said, "Just kid, he can be afraid of Van Dijk, and he can't be afraid of that boy Kulibali! No, he can't be afraid of anyone!"

Faria said with a puzzled look: "Last season, he was directly defeated by Coolibali in the Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool!"

Mourinho was stunned. He forgot about this. After all, he was no longer concerned about the Champions League at that time. After understanding the progress of the game, he would not take it seriously.

Now he finally knew what was going on!

Is this common?

Not common, but not uncommon!

How many players in the Premier League were afraid of Manchester United Captain Keane? How many people swallowed their anger in front of Vieira? Some players didn't even dare to fart in front of Savage.

But the current situation is that Mourinho is difficult to accept even if he understands it.

He wants Costa to play a role but he wants to disrupt the opponent's defense!

He can be a tiger, a lion, or a lone wolf, but he can't be a docile kitten!

Mourinho walked back to the sidelines and pointed at Costa. After attracting Costa's attention, he punched him hard on his left palm, his expression extremely majestic and sharp.

Costa also knew the coach's dissatisfaction with him. He tried hard to get rid of distracting thoughts, but this was too difficult!

In the 42nd minute of the game, when Costa made a mistake in stopping the ball under the blockade of Culibali and then intercepted the ball by Casemiro, Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!

Mourinho slapped the bench on the roof with a cold look on his face.

Situ Yunbing did not expect that after Kulibali appeared today, he would perfectly freeze Costa on Chelsea's forward!

This is definitely an unexpected situation.

Of course, if Costa makes some extraordinary moves, Situ Yunbing will definitely order the players to teach him a lesson.

If you want to play football well, then I will do it directly!

After Liverpool intercepted the ball this time, he quickly launched a fast attack, and Casemiro passed the ball directly in the frontcourt.

Mahrez made a forward pass and made a pass and cut cooperation with Eriksen. After breaking through Ramirez's defense line, Fabregas went to guard Eriksen. Matic stepped forward to intercept Mahrez, but unexpectedly Mahrez passed the ball diagonally behind Fabregas. After getting the ball, Mahrez quickly stepped forward to the right side of the penalty area.

Fabregas pressed Eriksen closely, thinking that it was foolproof, even if Vardy retreated to respond, he would definitely not be able to make trouble in front of Terry and Cahill.

But unexpectedly, after he turned around, what caught his eye was Gareth Bale cut from the side early to the middle of the penalty area.

Terry immediately grabbed the ball, Gareth Bale pushed the ball into the right side of the penalty area like a dragonfly!

Cahill's defensive attention was on Vardy. At this time, Mahrez's forward insertion made him quickly abandon Vardy and rush to block it!

But after the football rolled, Mahrez pushed and shot with his left foot, trying to hit a far corner without any adjustment!

The football rolled towards the lower left corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Courtois rushed towards the left goal post, and rushed out in a hurry and blocked the ball with one hand!

The Red Army fans couldn't help but feel extremely regretful when they hugged their heads, but the next scene made them excited and crazy again!

After Gareth Bale made the ball, he stepped forward, and he could receive Mahrez's pass or make a two-point follow-up shot.

Even though Terry turned around and chased him immediately, he was still slow!

Terry, who is nearly 34 years old, has also arrived at the end of his career!

When Courtois bravely blocked the ball, Gareth Bale adjusted the direction of the running and directly used his left foot to pick the ball towards Chelsea's goal!

Courtois lay on the ground and barely wanted to get up and then raise his hand to block it, but the football flew over from above his head, and he had no way to touch the football!

The moment the football flew into the goal, deafening cheers burst out from Anfield Stadium!
Chapter completed!
