The afternoon of November 8, 2014, Liverpool.

The eyes of fans across the UK and even the world are focused here, on Anfield Stadium.

The reason for this is of course not only because this is the focus of this round of the Premier League, Liverpool vs. Chelsea at home.

The main reason is that Chelsea's form this season is really amazing, with a winning streak all the way.

After breaking the record for the best start to the Premier League with ten consecutive wins in the last round, many people are already looking forward to them hitting the longest winning streak record of 14 consecutive wins set by the undefeated Arsenal team that year.

.

Of course, some relatively rational fans believe that Pan Yi has indeed created amazing miracles in leading Chelsea this season, but there is no team in the world that can truly win all the way to the end.

In other words, Pan Yi will lose sooner or later.

But the question is, when will he lose?

No one knows the answer.

At least judging from the current development trend, it is still difficult to find the logic that they will lose normally.

What, didn’t Chelsea already lose the League Cup when they were eliminated by York City on penalty kicks?

First, that scene was not normal;

Second, that game was also a draw during regular time;

Third, it is an irrelevant League Cup, a competition that even many Chelsea fans feel they need to give up strategically.

Moreover, what is being discussed now is the Premier League winning streak!

Can Pan Yi break through?

If it breaks, where will it end?

Can this record be raised to a height that is difficult for future generations to reach?

And if this record is broken, can the Premier League's highest scoring record, highest win record, etc. also be broken?

These questions naturally make fans all over the world curious.

They want to know even more, if Pan Yi is going to lose in the end, when will he lose, how will he lose, and who will he lose to?

This makes all fans pay close attention to every game of Pan Yi.

After all, no one knows which game Pan Yi started losing, and everyone wants to witness this moment with their own eyes.

Therefore, even if it is a relatively clear-cut game like Chelsea playing QPR, the ratings can compete with the Manchester Derby, not to mention today's strong dialogue with Liverpool.

After all, this is also a head-to-head confrontation between last season’s runner-up and third-place finisher!

As the other party in this focus battle, Liverpool's head coach Rogers certainly hopes that he can be the one who can really stop Pan Yi's progress.

In order to prepare for this game, he even did not send all the main players to play in the Champions League group match against Real Madrid two days ago, resulting in the loss to Real Madrid in the away game.

In Rogers' view, the Champions League group he is in can allow Real Madrid to win and then compete with two relatively weak teams, Basel and Ludogorets.

Moreover, as far as Rogers' current situation is concerned, the results in the Premier League may be more important than the Champions League.

After all, the Premier League is the bottom line. If you fall out of the top four, your coaching position will most likely be lost;

As Liverpool, which is competing for the first time in recent years, loses to a team like Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool fans will not criticize too much - at worst, they will keep this account and calculate it later!

Therefore, losing two back-to-back games against Real Madrid is a reasonable result after conserving strength.

What Rogers wants to do now is to defeat Chelsea in the Premier League!

This is an important battle to win three points and an important battle to regain confidence!

As long as he can win Chelsea, Liverpool fans' doubts about Rogers will disappear. He can continue to transform Liverpool's tactics step by step, and he may even seek opportunities to recruit reinforcements in the winter window.

But if you lose...

Liverpool will fall out of the European theater in the standings, which will inevitably cause a new round of dissatisfaction among fans. Rogers may be dismissed midway.

Of course, Rogers came to Anfield with great confidence this time.

He prepared carefully for a week, just to let Pan Yi taste the sharpest defensive counterattack in the Premier League!——

Anfield Stadium is full as always.

Liverpool game tickets have always been difficult to buy, whether they are home tickets or away tickets.

In addition, this is another focus game against the Premier League leader, and it is even more difficult to get a ticket. Those who can get in are basically season ticket holders and die-hard fans.

Although the players have just finished their warm-up match and the game has not officially started yet, the fans' enthusiasm is obviously more enthusiastic than before, with all kinds of cheers, songs, and boos filling the sky.

Of course, the most famous song that is often played at Anfield is still the most famous song:

"Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone

You'll never walk alone”

Of course, the players and coaches on both sides now have no time to enjoy the fans' performances.

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Pan Yi was putting Liverpool's lineup on the tactical board, preparing to give one final emphasis on tactics to his players.

As Pan Yi expected, Rogers’ formation today was indeed his best 4231 formation:

Center: Balotelli.

Frontcourt: Emre Can, Coutinho, Sterling.

Midfielder: Henderson, Gerrard.

Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Johnson.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet.

Pan Yi coughed lightly and pointed at the tactical list.

At this time, the Chelsea players in the locker room immediately stopped playing and sat down.

They all knew that Pan Yi was about to start his final speech.

"Although Liverpool's lineup is clearly intended to counterattack us, we cannot ignore the personal offensive capabilities of their players."

"Those like Sterling have strong breakthrough abilities, while Balotelli and Moutinho have very strong shooting abilities."

"It's Moutinho, including Gerrard in the defensive midfielder position, and even Henderson, who also have long-range shooting skills, which we need to focus on guarding against."

"And they are playing at home today. Even if their main strategy is defensive counterattack, there may be a wave of attacks at the beginning to disrupt our rhythm."

"So we need to start more steadily. Our priority is to control the rhythm and possession of the ball, stabilize our defense, and wait for their momentum to pass, which is our time to take over the game."

"To take a step back, even if they score our goal first, I won't be too surprised, and I believe you won't be too panicked either."

"Previous games have told you and me that as long as we can hold our ground and not panic at any time, we can always equalize and overtake the score, right?"

The players responded in unison: "Yes, we understand, boss!"

Everyone is full of confidence. This is the spirit brought by the winning streak.

If we could have a system like that in football games, we might be able to see that the arrows indicating status and morale of all Chelsea players are pointing straight up.

Pan Yi began to make targeted arrangements for some key locations:

"Their speed in the frontcourt is still very good, especially Sterling. You must always pay attention to maintaining the level and depth of the defense, especially Qin and Ake. You must always pay attention to your position and destroy his cross.

You can let him shoot farther away from the goal."

Chelsea's three central defenders today are Ake, David Luiz and Gary Cahill.

Using Ake at the left center back position means using his speed and flexibility to fight against Sterling.

During this period, Sterling appeared more in the right wing position, using his speed and hips (?) to break through, and then create opportunities for teammates in the penalty area, more like a traditional winger's style of play.

Sterling's speed, movement, and breakthrough ability are all very strong, and he can be said to be the biggest highlight in the frontcourt of this Liverpool team.

But as a player who promotes "happy football", he was really disappointed at the last moment, so Pan Yi also told Ake a more detailed defensive strategy.

Who is Sterling? He is a man who will occupy the most important position among the top five players in the Premier League in the future.

Which five unique skills?

East tilt - Nunez, West tilt - Grealish, South tilt - Anthony, North Chu - Lukaku, Middle - Sterling.

Lukaku now has Pan Yi's guidance and is breaking away from the five absolutes and no longer a stick king;

Even if he is still the king of pestles, he is still an evolved king of pestles.

But Sterling is not that good now, so he will continue to be happy.

After hearing Pan Yi's instructions, Ake, David Luiz and Gary Cahill agreed in unison, and Ake shouted the loudest.

You know, he pushed captain Terry to the bench, which shows how much Pan Yi values ​​him.

Of course, Pan Yi will also explain clearly to the players the changes in the lineup due to tactical reasons, so substitute players including Terry will not have any complaints.

After all, everyone knows that in Pan Yi's eyes, no player must play.

In Pan Yi's view, only the players in the best condition and the players most suitable to play when facing a certain opponent.
