Football: The strongest post-zero generation

"The match being broadcast to you is the 2018-2019 Premier League Round 7 match against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with the home team Chelsea attacking from the left side of the broadcast screen ......

Referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle and Channel 5 commentator David Hove uttered his trademark opening remarks, taking advantage of Chelsea's patience in attack, to broadcast the starting line-ups to the fans in front of the television at the ensuing time.

The home team is in 433 formation, with former Athletic Bilbao player Kepa Arrizabalaga, who set a goalkeeping transfer record for €80 million this summer, Marcos Alonso, Rudiger, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta in defence, N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic in midfield, and Hazard, Giroud and Willian in front.

Liverpool's official formation is also 433, goalkeeper Alisson, defenders Robertson, Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Jordan Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, and forwards Mane, Firmino and Salah.

The new season of Chelsea under the Italian manager Maurizio Sarri has changed a lot, Kante's position premise is the biggest change, but the position of Kante in this game is the same as Jorginho, protecting Jorginho with the ball when the team is attacking, and switching from defense to attack to protect space.

Obviously, Kante's responsibility in this game is very large, in addition to rushing forward when the team is attacking, he must be close to Li Qing as soon as he switches from attack to defense.

However, the first three minutes of the game were dominated by Chelsea's possession, and Liverpool had not yet seized any counter-attacking opportunities, even if there was an opportunity to switch from defense to attack, Chelsea players would be forced or fouled in the front of the court at the first time.

"It's easy to see that Maurizio Sarri has done a lot of work before the game, with targeted deployment in attack and defence, and it seems that ...... Liverpool are in trouble. "

Jorginho's long-range shot went just wide of the goal, and the broadcast footage was given to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and star Li Qing.

Koklopp, who appeared on the broadcast screen, frowned, and it was easy to see that he was full of worries about the future game, but Li Qing, the new World Footballer of the Year, had the same expression as usual, and was not affected in any way, still waiting for the opportunity according to the rhythm of the past game.

“aoaooaooaoaooooooooo——"

The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were thrilled and created a tsunami-like pitch of loud shouts to cheer on their team.

BBC commentator Lineker is not generally optimistic about Liverpool's commentator concerns, he said indifferently: "Lee has not yet made a force, it is normal for Liverpool to be relatively passive, Alison Becker has performed well, showing the second highest value of goalkeepers in world football, I believe that as the game deepens, Liverpool will complete the knock on the mountain under the leadership ......of Lee."

Liverpool's first shot on goal was completed by Li Qing, in the eighth minute, Liverpool did not launch a quick counterattack at the first time, but through a gradual pass to the front point, Li Qing, who ran out of the vacant position, received a pass from Henderson and chose to accelerate past Kovacic and Jorginho.

Kante's defense was lightly denied by Li Qing, and then shot 26 meters from the goal, but fortunately, Kepa Arrizabalaga, the first goalkeeper in world football, was in a brave state, and he put the football beam with one palm to ensure that the goal was not lost.

“wowwoowoooooooo——"

Immediately over Stamford Bridge, the exclamations of the West fans rang out.

BBC commentator Lineker said: "I said that as long as Li Fa Fa Chelsea could have conceded a goal! If it hadn't been for Kepa Arrizavalaga Revelta's excellent performance, Chelsea might have conceded first at home!"

At the same time, Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri quickly threw his cigarette butt on the ground and rushed to the edge of the home team's coach's command area and shouted at the players on the pitch: "Stand still, don't shake it easily!

Alexander-Arnold took a corner kick from the right side, bounced and judged the ball very accurately, Li Qing beat David Luiz and Giroud to push the ball to the right side of the goal, but due to the interference of the two, the ball did not control the angle well, and was finally picked up by the well-chosen Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The regrouped Chelsea gradually slowed down the pace of the ball and put more football at the feet of Eden Hazard on the left, who tested Liverpool's defense on the right.

Alexander-Arnold is a typical strong full-back and weak defender, and Hazard must be very disadvantaged in defending one-on-one, but Liverpool's defense is not a counter-defense, and the other players' assistance defense is very good.

Mohamed Salah and Jordan Henderson were able to help Trent Alexander-Arnold and ease the defensive pressure on the right side of their side.

High-level matches tend to pass very quickly, with 20 minutes ticking down and the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge are still in high spirits, creating a frenetic atmosphere that has not decreased, but has become more and more frenetic.

Against this backdrop, the Chelsea players playing at home are getting better and better, and the pressure is mounting on Jurgen Klopp, who is in the coaching area of the visiting team.

In the 22nd minute, Chelsea suddenly changed their tactics, and the central defender David Luiz played a long pass from the backfield, and Willian inserted it and was not offside, but fortunately, Alisson chose a very good position and reacted quickly, keeping Willian's one-handed ball out of the net and trying to keep the goal intact.

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5, frowned and said: "Alisson has made a meritorious service! But Liverpool needs to attack if they want to be full at Stamford Bridge!"

The on-site director once again gave Li Qing a close-up, and He Wei changed his words: "When Mane, Firmino and Salah are more focused on the defensive end, the new World Footballer of the Year Li Qing should stand up and inject a shot of strength into the whole team." "

'Chelsea are in full swing at the moment and if they don't get the home team a slap in the face, it's only a matter of time before they concede. "

Commentator Zhang Lu said in a deep voice.

Three minutes later, Kante made an early move by anticipating it, stretched out his foot to cut off Henderson and Li Qing's through ball, Kovacic who got the ball sent a precise through pass, Hazard, who suffered from Li Qing in the World Cup semi-finals, was completely speedy, and Joe Gomez, who was chasing behind him, couldn't keep up at all, that is......

Hazard has a single shot!

This time, Alisson, who was expected by Liverpool fans, failed to save the team, and Hazard, who burst into the left side of the penalty area, scored with his left foot into the far corner to help the home team take the lead at Stamford Bridge!

'The goal was clear, clear and efficient!' It was Hazard's seventh goal in eight games of the new season and his sixth in seven league games!'

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao 5 Channel, said solemnly: "Liverpool seems to have encountered the biggest trouble since the start of the new season! If the next game does not fail to turn the situation around, the home team Chelsea is very likely to continue to score!"
