When we ushered in the game against Chelsea, Liverpool was ready for everything and ready to go.

In terms of Liverpool's lineup, Milito, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Kuyt are still in the frontcourt. After all, Chelsea requires more fighting and confrontation. It is difficult to compete with Chelsea alone. They have fought each other countless times, and everyone is very clear about this. Therefore, everyone can understand the decision to let Kuyt play.

On the other hand, Chelsea has also undergone great changes after a season of intermittent injuries and changes.

During the game, the lineup they put out did not change much from the previous ones. Goalkeeper Cech returned early after most of the injury season. However, now he has put on a helmet to protect his head, which has been allowed, and after this thing, he can stand on the field. However, judging from his current performance, it has been a lot less than when he was not wearing a helmet.

On the back line, there is still a defense line composed of Carvalho, Terry, Ashley Cole and Ferreira. However, since this season, their playing style has also changed a lot: in the past, Carvalho's defense line was robbed and Terry made up for defense. In the past, Carvalho was faster and stealing more fiercely. He also had a very rare skill in dribbling in the defender, so he was more suitable for the front. Of course, another reason is that he is sometimes a bit rash and does not pay much attention to the degree of playing football, and is also suitable for the front. Terry's speed is relatively slow, but the one-on-one confrontation is very strong, and he is also very good at dragging back and defending behind.

But this season, the role of these two people has changed. After experiencing serious injuries, their speed is no longer the same as before. The speed slows down together. Carvalho's original speed advantage is no longer obvious, and Terry's already-existing speed problem has become even more serious. According to the original style of playing, they obviously cannot do it.

However, they also made changes very cleverly: they became Terry's robbery, Carvalho's replacement. Carvalho's speed still had a certain advantage, and Terry's ferocity and stealing ability also played a certain role as a player. The two of them were excellent partners, and their tacit understanding has always been very good. From the original tactics to the new style of play, it was almost done without long running-in. This clever avoided the problem and also made everyone amazed.

Chelsea's midfielder is a combination of Mikel, Barack, Essin and Lampard.

This season, due to injuries and age issues, Marklele has withdrawn from the main lineup more and more. Mikel and Barack are becoming more and more double midfielders. Barack is different from Shepchenko. Although he cannot play his favorite position because of Lampard's existence, he still has a great desire for honor, and he is not rejected by changing his position and changing his style of play. Since Lampard occupies the position of the front midfielder, he can also accept changing his position and moving backward to play the back midfielder. Now in the position of the back midfielder, he is quite good at playing, and because all four midfielders have strong defensive abilities, Chelsea's current defense is also quite good.

As for the forward line, Chelsea is still Drogba and Shepchenko. Drogba has performed quite well this season, and the media has recognized that after Henry fell, Drogba was the number one striker in the Premier League. Of course, Drogba also claimed to be the world's number one striker, but this is a bit controversial and no one is too serious. After all, if you can't score 20 goals in a season, it's far from the world's number one.

And Shepchenko... After all, it is a striker bought by the boss for a lot of money and a footballer. Even when he performs the worst, people have to admit that his problem is not that his skills are not good, but that it is difficult to integrate into Chelsea. Therefore, Chelsea still has to give him a chance now - isn't the role of a star just to suddenly show his power and score a goal in the game? Maybe Shepchenko can suddenly show his power and score a beautiful goal?

Such a lineup arrangement is the strongest lineup of Chelsea this season. Although they have Robben, due to injuries and personal personality issues, Robben rarely appears in the main players. Marklele also has the same problem. It is difficult for him to take on the heavy responsibility of his age and injury.

"Liverpool can be said to have the advantage in this game. After all, Chelsea has been on the decline since Mourinho left. Liverpool has been thriving in the past two years. Klinsmann has made some tinkering changes to Chelsea, but it is difficult to reverse the inherent poor offense problem of Chelsea. Their game is getting slower and slower. Now, they are the team with the largest weight and slowest pace in the Premier League. This season, Chelsea was double-killed by Liverpool. When they met Liverpool in the league, they had no resistance. Now, when they met in the Champions League, what will happen? Let's wait and see."

Chelsea's league was not good this season, and they were double-killed against Liverpool and draw against Manchester United. In the semi-finals, they would not take advantage of anyone when they met. In comparison, they were quite happy when they met Liverpool. Liverpool was an offensive team no matter what. If they met Milan, it would really become a turtle against both sides. Let's see who can steal a game. And if that's true, Milan, with a breakthrough counterattack like Kaka, will obviously benefit a lot.

The game started quickly, and soon people discovered that Chelsea played very well.

"This is really amazing. Chelsea lost its main midfielder, but the defense in this game did not decline much. Zhao Yaning, who performed well in the first two away games, seemed to be really restricted in this game."

Leinkell's surprise is more because Chelsea now has no Marc Laile, but it still plays quite good defense.

Whether it is Essin, Mikel, or even Barack, when he came to Chelsea, he had some meaning to supplement Marclayle's position. However, it turns out that people like Marclayle are hard to come by.

Not that he is so strong that he cannot replace him. Although he is indeed extremely outstanding as a midfielder, there are many problems with Marclayle. It is not impossible to completely replace him.

However, many of the advantages of Marklele are unattainable. He has skills and physical strength. The most important thing is that he has a good attitude and never does what he is not good at. Instead, he honestly does his job, intercepts opponents in the backcourt, and does not consider working in the frontcourt. He has great wisdom and is also clever. He has various grasps on the scale of fouls and has a good control over the game, which is also one of the important reasons why he can gain a foothold.

Everything else is easy to say, the most important thing is mentality. With a high salary, in the best team, no matter who is, he will feel self-inflated. At this time, it is particularly valuable to be able to wipe his butt honestly and not compete for opportunities. Even the midfielder, who doesn’t like to drive the ball to the midfield and attract attention? Who doesn’t like to stand outside the penalty area and shoot with big feet and make achievements for the team? However, Marklele has no problems with these problems. He just guards in the backcourt. The team attacks, he honestly passes the ball over and does not take risks. The whole team presses the opponent’s penalty area to compete for the top, and he stays honestly at the front of his own penalty area. This good mentality is an important reason why he can still stand on the legend of the midfielder, although he does not have the offensive talent comparable to Deschamps, Dunga and others.

It’s not without reason that Mark Lele became famous late. When he played football, his experience, skills and mentality accounted for a large part, and these things were difficult for young people to obtain. Simply treating him as a black defensive player, it is of course impossible to find a strong black man to defeat him.

Essin has excellent physical fitness, but his dribbling is also an important attack method for Chelsea. It can even be said to be one of the few ways to make progress, and of course it cannot be abolished. Mikel is strong enough and has a good defensive position, but his slow speed is also a big problem. Barack is good in all aspects, but using him as a coolie in the backcourt is too burning the piano and cooking the crane and wasting talents.

This season, when Marklele was injured, Chelsea's midfield interception finally had problems. At this time, Abraham refused to sign ups, and their midfield finally made up for the shortcomings through adjustments. Surprisingly, they played well.

They arranged an excellent method to deal with Zhao Yaning: Michael Essin was pestering Zhao Yaning almost all the game, constantly fighting, fighting with Zhao Yaning. This approach made Zhao Yaning not play much role at the beginning of the game and was subject to considerable restrictions.

Klinsman may not have many advantages in tactical layout, but his employment is still decisive enough. Before him, Chelsea attached great importance to Essim, but he had never paid so much attention. Essim has always been regarded as a weapon for advancement. Although he also shoulders the defensive task, he has never had such a heavy task. He even blocked Zhao Yaning alone. However, in this game, Klinsman's decisive and bold employment of people has achieved good results.

Barack is a very all-round player. After arriving at Chelsea, he was responsible for checking for omissions behind Lampard. However, he did a very good job in this job. After Marklele was no longer able, Chelsea needed a new way to limit Zhao Yaning, and Essin was pestering and Barack assisting from the side was indeed very effective.

Of course, Zhao Yaning still plays from time to time, but this kind of play is much worse than the previous two games against Real Madrid and Barcelona. There is no way to run freely in the frontcourt, and the activity space is greatly occupied and squeezed by Essin. Zhao Yaning's role is naturally greatly restricted. Relying on the three midfielders, Chelsea compiled a tight net.
