Chapter 676: .676 Beast becomes a cat

At Anfield, the grand strategy of Liverpool and Chelsea was dull.
Both teams are deliberately limiting their opponents, but it is also a process of trial and error.
After the exploratory stage passed, Mourinho believed that Liverpool's attacking firepower had dropped a lot compared to the previous match, so he decisively asked the team to increase their aggressiveness in the attack!
In the 25th minute of the game, Felipe Luiz assisted to the frontcourt to receive Matic’s pass, and then created a space for Hazard when he drove the ball to the bottom, and Hazard received it afterwards. Luiz’s pass, before Kanter and Van Dijk double-teamed him, Hazard quickly passed the ball diagonally to find Diego Costa.
This time Costa was slightly hesitant to catch the ball with his back and was destroyed by Coulibaly.
Mourinho frowned when he saw this scene on the sidelines.
It felt like Costa was distracted by something first.
But it is not certain.
Costa is too vigilant, he is worried about being violated by Louis!
Compared to a normal confrontation, Costa knew that if Coulibaly wanted to attack him, he must be sent directly to a stretcher!
This is fundamentally different from a reasonable collision. Unknown vigilance will naturally distract him.
Liverpool suddenly launched a fast attack. Gareth Bale retreated from the left in a wide range. After possession of the ball, he did not advance along the wing, but instead turned to the center of the steering wheel. This allowed Fabregas to defend against Eric. Senshi lost his position and hurriedly came back to intercept Gareth Bale, but Eriksson had already reached the left. Gareth Bale passed the ball diagonally back to the left and then quickly moved forward in a straight line.
His forward penetration was very eye-catching, and the Chelsea defense immediately approached him to compress his play space. Eriksson kicked the ball from the wing and dropped the ball to the back of the penalty area!
Terry and Carl Hilton were shocked!
Due to Gareth Bale's forward insertion, Vardy pulled back to the back of the penalty area, and they missed it!
Vardy headed the goal directly against the fallen football, a godsend!
When the football he ejected flew to the upper right corner of the goal, at the moment of the moment, Courtois seemed to be a magical soldier flying from the sky with a single palm and propped the ball above the crossbar!
The Red Army fans suddenly let out a disappointed sigh, and immediately applauded Vardy.
"Vardy's header almost opened the scoring for Liverpool!
Courtois' save was amazing!
He sealed all the theoretical blind spots!
Chelsea strengthened the third line in the summer, and the most important signing on the defensive line is Courtois! "
Situ Yunbing was somewhat lost. In the match against Chelsea, Liverpool could not get a lot of opportunities, so if you miss one, you will lose one!
Mourinho looked down and gestured to the disciples to make them more flexible in defense!
Like Gareth Bale, who cuts from the side to the center with unreasonable cards, disrupting the Chelsea defense is what they need to be vigilant.
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 was in the middle to follow up. When Robertson stepped forward to block, he was at his feet. Pull the ball to change direction, fake fax!
After the ball went to the bottom, Oscar quickly passed the ball!
The line of the ball is not in the penalty area, but the front left of the penalty area.
Liverpool's defense line retraced and failed to clear the siege at the first time, while Hazard made a counter-grab to Casemiro after a stop in the inner cut and quickly dialed the ball to get rid of it, followed by a powerful shot!
This half-high ball went straight to the bottom left of the goal center, which was extremely threatening!
Ter Stegen swooped out and hugged the ball with both hands!
Anfield echoed the applause and cheers of Liverpool fans!
Ter Stegen stood up with a calm expression on his face.
"Hazard’s shot did not test Ter Stegen. Maybe it’s better if the angle is more tricky!"
Situ Yunbing looked thoughtful. When the game was in a stalemate, he would always consider whether to make some design and changes in tactical details.
Chelsea's defense is stable and there is no good breakthrough for the time being, but Liverpool is always right to try.
So he gestured to the team to let Mahrez move to the middle, and Eriksen's position was also to the left.
Unilaterally attacked Ivanovic to give Gareth Bale as much support as possible.
Gareth Bale is the one who can rely on the front line the most.
In the 32nd minute of the game, Gareth Bale met from the left and faced Fabregas and Ivanovic. He passed the ball forward because he saw Eriksson's diagonal forward.
Matic immediately followed the guard to the wing, but Eriksson stopped the ball and knocked the ball diagonally back to the front of the penalty area.
In the crowded area, Mahrez was the first to touch the ball, and because there was no pass line, he shot directly!
The ball hit Terry's leg and popped beyond the baseline.
Mourinho continued to emphasize on the sidelines to change defense from static to more active!
Only in this way can Chelsea keep up with the changes Liverpool are constantly trying to attack.
In the 37th minute of the game, when Ivanovic made the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Costa was fighting for the goal of the football. He was forced from behind by Coulibaly and lost his position. After the siege, Costa did not make some obvious resistance or confrontation from the beginning to the end.
This made Mourinho look gloomy.
He turned and walked to the coach’s bench and spread his hands out and complained to his coaching team:
What is Diego doing? Is he asleep? I can’t see his fighting spirit, I can’t see his animalism, what a ghost. !"
As Mourinho's most trusted assistant, Faria looked up at Mourinho with his chin and said: "Perhaps because he is afraid of Coulibaly."
Mourinho was even more furious and said: "Just kidding, he can be afraid of Van Dijk, but he can't be afraid of the kid Coulibaly! No, he can't be afraid of anyone!"
Faria said with a sorrowful expression: "Last season he was played directly by Coulibaly in the Champions League match between Atletico Madrid and Liverpool!"
Mourinho was stunned. He had forgotten this. After all, he didn't care much about the Champions League at the time. He understood the progress of the game, but he didn't care about it.
Now he finally knows what happened!
Is this kind of thing common?
Not very common, but not uncommon!
How many Premier League players feared Manchester United captain Keane? How many people swallowed in front of Vieira? Other players dare not put a fart in front of Savage.
But the current situation is difficult for Mourinho to accept even if he understands it.
The role he wants Costa to play is 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, pointed at Costa, and after attracting Costa's attention, he punched him in his left palm with a majestic and sharp expression.
Costa also knew that the coach was dissatisfied with him. He tried hard to let him get rid of distracting thoughts, but it was too difficult!
In the 42nd minute of the game, when Costa made a mistake in stopping the ball under a blockade by Coulibaly and was then cut off by Casemiro, Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!
Mourinho slapped the roof of the bench with a cold face.
Situ Yunbing did not expect that after Coulibaly played today, he would perfectly freeze Costa on the Chelsea forward!
This is definitely an unexpected situation.
Of course, if Costa will make some extraordinary moves, Situ Yunbing will definitely order the players to teach him a little lesson.
Just play well, if you want to play yin, then I'll just do it!
Liverpool quickly launched a fast break after stealing this time, and Casemiro passed the ball straight from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
Mahrez made a forward kick and made a pass with Eriksson. After breaking through Ramirez’s defense, Fabregas went to mark Eriksson and Matic stepped forward to intercept Maher. Reis, unexpectedly, Mahrez crossed the ball diagonally behind Fabregas, and after the ball, Mahrez quickly penetrated the right side of the penalty area.
Fabregas pressed Eriksson tightly, thinking it was foolproof, even if Vardy retreated to respond, he would certainly not be able to make waves in front of Terry and Cahill.
But what was unexpected is that after he turned around, Gareth Bale crossed from the side to the middle of the penalty area early.
Terry immediately grabbed the ball, and Gareth Bale rushed the ball to the right side of the penalty area!
Cahill's defensive attention was on Vardy. At this time, Mahrez's advance made him quickly abandon Vardy and rush to block!
But Mahrez made a shot with his left foot after the football rolled, trying to hit a far corner!
The football rolled to the lower left corner of the goal, and the goalkeeper Courtois rushed towards the left post, hurriedly rushed out and blocked the ball with a single palm!
The fans of the Red Army couldn't help holding their heads feeling extremely sorry, but the next scene made them excited again!
After Gareth Bale played the ball, he moved forward. He could receive Mahrez's pass and make a two-point shot.
Even though Terry turned and chased for the first time, he was still slow after all!
Terry, who is nearly 34 years old, has also come to the end of his career!
When Courtois blocked the ball bravely for an instant, Gareth Bale adjusted the direction of his running position and then directly used his left foot to pick the ball towards Chelsea's goal!
Courtois lay on the ground and barely got up and then raised his hand to block, but the football flew over his head. He couldn't touch the football at all!
The moment the football flew into the goal, the Anfield Stadium burst into deafening cheers!
Liverpool broke the deadlock before the end of the first half!
