Chapter 553: Rogers: "True fragrance"

In the second round of the League Cup, Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge.
In the recent confrontation between the two sides, Liverpool has a considerable psychological advantage.
Since Yang Feng's transfer, Liverpool have rarely failed against Chelsea.
Last season, at Stamford Bridge, when Yang Feng led the audience with Chelsea, he finally tied his old club and led Liverpool to retreat. For the Blues fans, Yang Feng is the eternal pain in their hearts.
When Yang Feng joined Chelsea, he led Chelsea's brilliance for a period of time. The league championship and the first Champions League trophy in club history were all won by Yang Feng as the main central defender.
However, Yang Feng's persistent departure has also made Liverpool become a Premier League superpower again, making Chelsea fans unwilling. If Yang Feng stays at Chelsea, then, can Chelsea achieve better results than it is now? Now that Yang Feng "goes home" again, for many Chelsea fans, he no longer knows how to meet Yang Feng.
It is with cheers and applause. Although the effective time is short, but it will definitely be Yang Feng in the future, he still uses boos to welcome this season. Chelsea will compete for the league championship this season. The core of the opponent who will compete for the right to advance to the final. Midfielder.
When the live DJ played Yang Feng's name, there were applause, boos, and voices mixed together. Compared with the previous "treatment" received by other signature players of Liverpool, there were some differences.
In the past few years, Chelsea has given Liverpool many "talents", first Yang Feng and then Sturridge, who have successfully become Liverpool's absolute "thigh" level figures.
It's just that Chelsea lost the players they got from Liverpool. Torres went directly from the Premier League golden boots to parallel imports. Moses had good results in Liverpool, and he returned to Stamford Bridge to stun everyone...
The two teams have too many intersections and too many stories, but in this game, the most realistic goal of the two teams is to defeat their opponents and advance to the finals, and strive for the players' previous physical fitness to win a championship trophy.
This game, for Chelsea, the biggest good news is that Hazard is back from injury, which can provide the biggest variable for Mourinho's offensive tactics.
As for Liverpool, Flanagan's comeback also allowed Rogers to have the capital to revert back to a more secure four-back, instead of continuing to use the three-back tactics that are not easy to use in front of the media.
Compared to the first leg a week ago, since both teams have players returning to the line, the coaches of both sides can achieve the greatest tactical deployment.
However, when the starting list came out, everyone was surprised by Rogers' starting arrangement.
It has always been said that the three central defenders are not used to it, but when there is a lack of full-backs, Rogers, who is used to make a peace, actually staged a "true fragrance".
The three-center defender system remains unchanged, but Rogers has made drastic reforms in the midfield.
Sturridge has some minor injuries and is sitting on the bench in this game.
And Rogers did not use Balotelli or Lambert to start, but directly pushed Sterling in the forward position.
Behind Sterling, there are two passers Coutinho and Lallana delivering ammunition to him.
In the configuration of the four midfielders, Moreno and Markovic are separated from each other, with Henderson and Lucas in the middle.
It is still the 343 lineup. Even if a player returns from injury, Rogers chose to use another unexpected starting lineup and was prepared to catch Chelsea by surprise.
For Chelsea, Mourinho's first thing to do in this type of competition is to seek stability.
Although the League Cup does not count the advantage of away goals, Mourinho still wants to do a good job in the defense of the team, and in the case of zero seals, he seeks to find opportunities to attack his opponent.
The advantage of the home court is that with the progress of the game, the players' physical consumption, the home team with fans cheering, may occupy a greater psychological advantage and ensure better performance.
The combination of Mikel and Matic’s double defensive midfielder can achieve the ultimate sweep of the midfield.
In the midfield, Chelsea is the "Facco Connection", coupled with the impact of Hazard and William.
Even if the "Facco Connection" in this game continues to be targeted by Liverpool, Mourinho can still guarantee that there are two top breakthrough players that can create a considerable threat to Liverpool's defense.
Seeking stability and believing that the team's defense will always be the core of Mourinho's tactics.
At the beginning of the game, both sides played a little restrained.
After all, after the draw in the first round, it has become a game of winning and losing, both sides are stable.
Liverpool's first attack opportunity came from Yang Feng's pass.
It is no longer the long pass of the past.
In a positional battle, with Liverpool’s tactical repressive requirements, in order to provide the pass support needed in the frontcourt, Yang Feng now also mentions the opponent's half, and in addition to receiving the back pass from his teammate, he also undertakes part of it. The task of sending the ball forward.
This time, after receiving Moreno's back pass, Yang Feng suddenly moved laterally, avoiding William's forcing, and then sent a straight pass forward.
Coutinho led the ball forward after receiving the ball in the penalty area.
Against Cahill’s defense, he made a low-angle shot with his left foot, but Cahill did not lose his defensive position. When Coutinho hit the goal, he successfully stretched his leg to block and blocked the ball from the baseline. Give Liverpool a corner kick.
Yang Feng, like the last game ~EbookFREE.me~, continued to set the ball and was heavily defended by Chelsea.
Cahill's top defense, coupled with the help of other Chelsea players, Yang Feng is under the focus of defense, even if he ran to the landing position first, but under the impact of different directions, he did not get a full opportunity to take off. Naturally Unable to form an attack...
But Liverpool's frontcourt press is still full of effect.
Although Chelsea, William and Hazard both have a very strong ability to dribble the ball, but let the offensive players, from their own backcourt, dribble the ball, doomed to the opponent's core area is also the end of the force.
Therefore, Chelsea's transfer of the ball in the backcourt is of course the main goal, which also gives Liverpool the opportunity to press the frontcourt, cut off the ball, and then directly counterattack.
Ivanovic’s pass from the wing to Fabregas was successfully intercepted by Coutinho under the combined force of several Liverpool midfielders.
After the ball was intercepted, although he fell directly to the ground and tried to block Coutinho with a foul, Coutinho swiftly dialed the ball and jumped up. Although he was still caught by his foot, he staggered a bit. , But fell to the ground without losing his balance.
The referee stretched his hand forward to indicate a favorable attack.
In the case of Mikel's fast forward interception, Coutinho did not attack after landing, but chose to transfer the ball laterally.
Henderson, who followed up on the right, volleyed a shot from 25 meters away.
This sphere is very heavy, and the angle is still tricky. It's just that Courtois leaped forward and hit the ball with both fists. It was too difficult to break Courtois' door with a long shot...
However, Liverpool’s advantage on the scene is still obvious. Even in the away game, Liverpool still has the initiative to attack and has some advantages...
