Super Storm

Long leagues always carry ups and downs.

No team can be smooth sailing, and will always encounter various problems.

Liverpool, for example, has always adopted a four-three-three formation. After careful polishing, when the team gradually stabilized and formed, an injury to Muhammad Sissoko directly disrupted all the team's plans.

Subsequently, the Red Army experienced lows and turbulence and had to make adjustments, changing from the original four three three to four four two, pushing Yang Yang from the left avant-garde to the front line, and then ushered in a fantastic December.

The problems encountered by the Red Army will also be encountered by other teams, such as Chelsea.

In the Devil's Christmas schedule, the Blues not only encountered three straight games, but also paid the painful price of the main defender Terry's injury. This is definitely a big loss for Chelsea.

Then Chelsea played in the League Cup and the FA Cup in a row, the players consumed too much.

In the 23rd round of the league, Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 4-0 at home, Lampard, Robben, Drogba, and an own goal from Wigan Athletic. Four goals at home defeated Wigan Athletic.

This victory seems to make people see signs of Chelsea's full recovery, especially considering that in this game, in order to better prepare for the battle of Anfield a week later, Mourinho also specially arranged for Carvalho to take a break.

In the position of central defender, Essien partner Ferreira, the performance is quite satisfactory.

And the victory is not without a price, that is, the main midfielder Makelele has accumulated a yellow card suspension for a round.

But what happened to the nightfall was that on the eve of Liverpool, the central defender Carvalho suddenly had a high fever and could not follow the team to challenge Liverpool away. This is undoubtedly worse for Chelsea.

Terry and Carvalho are sidelined, both main defenders are injured, and Makelele is suspended ...

The influence of the Christmas Devil schedule is gradually emerging.

...

Liverpool gave up the two big cup matches and concentrated all their energy on playing the league.

This game against Chelsea, Liverpool once again discharged the four three three formation.

The goalkeeper is Reina, the back line is Lisse, Daniel Ag, Carragher and Finnan. The three midfielders are Aurelio, Xavi Alonso and Gerrard. The combination of Rauch and Kuyt.

And Liverpool's game strategy is actually very, very simple, even rude and direct.

That is to hit the high.

How tall is it?

Chelsea's right-back Gremi is 1.80, Ferreira is 1.82, Essien is 1.77, and Ashley Cole is 1.72.

However, among the Liverpool tridents facing the Chelsea defense line, the shortest one is Yang Yang, with a height of 1.83 meters, which is the latest accurate official data from Liverpool.

Kuyt is 1.84 meters, Crouch is up to 2.02 meters, and Gerrard is up to 1.86 meters.

Just the item of height is enough to kill Chelsea!

In European football, there are many differences in the understanding of football, such as the central defender.

Ajax can use Heitinga and Fermalen's type of center defender, which is not tall, but flexible, because this is a team's style of play, that is, quick pass.

The most typical team is Ajax and Barcelona.

In theory, as long as the ability to control the ball reaches a certain level, as long as it can suppress the opponent in the midfield, there is no need to worry about height.

But this is obviously not applicable to Chelsea.

Benitez is not stupid, so he is very clear about Chelsea's problem, because Yang Yang, the shortest offensive player in the frontcourt, is a little higher than Chelsea's highest defender.

So, from the start of the game, Liverpool played very simple and rude.

Two minutes into the opening, Gerrard made a long shot in the middle and almost penetrated Chelsea's goal.

In three minutes, Fennan made a cross from the right and Gerrard scored a header from a long distance. He was injured and came back. Cech, still wearing a hard hat, stopped, but Liverpool's offensive had already formed.

A minute later, Liverpool launched a long pass in the backcourt, and Carragher's pass accurately found Crouch.

The English center almost grabbed the first landing point without being challenged. Heading the ball to Yang Yang, who rushed into the left rib. After Yang Yang caught up, he walked past Ferreira and stopped with a right foot. The goal was broken and Liverpool set the record for the first time.

The whole goal-scoring process was clean and tidy.

Just three minutes later, it was another long pass from Xavi Alonso.

Running out of neutral on the left, Yang Yang, who was unmanned, received the ball and suddenly entered the penalty area, but his shot was saved by Cech bravely, but then Crouch followed the push and directly sent the ball into Empty door, two to zero.

Both goals are used to break Chelsea's goal in the simplest, most direct and efficient way.

Then Liverpool gradually slowed the offensive, while Chelsea tried to fight back.

But in the eighteenth minute, Yang Yang crossed from the left and Essien made a header. Kuyt caught up with a long shot from 25 feet away and pierced Cech's goal again, three to zero!

Defeat defeated!

Chelsea almost fell into despair from the beginning of the game.

Especially when the game reached the 21st minute, Robben stopped in a counterattack and was injured and fell to the ground.

Soon, Chelsea was forced to make a substitution and Wright Phillips replaced Robben.

By this time in the game, there was no suspense!

…………

…………

Liverpool, in perfect condition, encountered Chelsea with wounded soldiers. The result was three to zero!

This score is indeed a bit surprising, but it basically matches the trend of the game.

Yang Yang was also not active in this game. That goal was considered his regular operation. As for the goal saved by Cech that resulted in a successful shot by Crouch, it was not counted as an assist.

Three goals defeated Chelsea, Liverpool doubled the Blues this season, it is a perfect revenge.

This victory also made Liverpool's league points jump to 54 points.

What is more exciting for Liverpool up and down is that in another focus of the round, Arsenal took home Manchester United and Rooney scored a goal for the Red Devils in the 53rd minute.

But in the final stage of the game, Van Persie equalized the score in the 83rd minute, and Henry was in the final moment of stoppage time, finishing the game and scoring a lore, helping Arsenal to beat Manchester United 2-1.

Due to the loss of points in this round, Manchester United's league points are only 54 points, the same as Liverpool points.

According to the rules of the Premier League, Manchester United, with the advantage of the goal difference, overwhelmed the Reds and is still the leader of the Premier League.

But from being able to lag behind by nearly double digits, and to tie the points now, Liverpool's state of the wave starting in December is indeed very admirable.

On January 30, the Premier League round 25.

Liverpool challenged West Ham away.

Benitez once again discharged four, three and three formations, but the first half did not play well. After making adjustments in the second half, Yang Yang took the initiative to take more responsibilities on the wing and opened the home team's hammer. Line of defense.

First, a cross from the left, Crouch headed ferry, assisted Kuyt to score a goal, then Yang Yang's cross on the left, volleyed 19 meters in front of Crouch.

Despite being pulled back by West Ham United in the seventy-seventh minute of the game, Liverpool eventually scored three points with a two-on-one away game, again maintaining pressure on the fractional United.

While Manchester United broke Waterford 4-0 at home, Cristiano Ronaldo was very active, helping Manchester United to win the game with one pass and one shot.

Before the transfer window closed during the winter break, FIFA finally made a ruling, agreeing to Liverpool's loan of Mascherano and allowing Mascherano to play for the Reds.

After the adoption of FIFA, the FA also quickly opened the green light, Argentina officially joined Liverpool.
