After Liverpool won all five games in the Champions League group stage, locked the top of the group and advanced to the top 16 of the Champions League, the outside world gradually began to think that Liverpool's performance is stronger this season because they take into account the Champions League!

But there are also voices that the Champions League is likely to affect Liverpool's title race with Manchester City in the second half of the season!

Liverpool will usher in the first group civil war with Chelsea at the weekend. Liverpool have the advantage of home.

At the pre match press conference, situ Yunbing was not surprised by the decline of Chelsea's performance this season.

"Chelsea didn't need to cope with the Champions League last season, but they have to play in the Champions League this season, which is the main reason for their poor performance. At the same time, because they didn't upgrade, you can hardly find their better performance than last season. You can't see any aspect!"

About the contradiction between him and conti?

Situ Yunbing shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't think there are contradictions between us. I don't like many things, but it doesn't mean I have to hate. Most of the time, I just don't like Chelsea's conservatism. Once I was almost moved by the grand dream of the Chelsea boss!

But Chelsea haven't shown beautiful football in the past few years!

My attitude towards conservative football has always been very clear. For those powerful teams that firmly adopt conservative tactics, their failure can not be sympathized with.

As an Italian coach, conti may be influenced by the inheritance of tactical style. I don't appreciate his football, but it doesn't mean I have a contradiction with him. "

Finally, when asked whether Chelsea still had the opportunity to participate in the championship this season, situ Yunbing said faintly: "I don't know and don't care, just like I don't care which team will win the fourth place in the league and which team will succeed in relegation."

Situ Yunbing has absolute confidence and defiance. His goal has always been to win the championship. Naturally, he doesn't care about the goals and pursuit of other teams. Anyway, it won't affect Liverpool's championship.

This league is the final game of this round, and other games begin first.

Spurs lost points in a draw with West Brom.

Manchester United scored three points in a small victory over Brighton at home.

Arsenal also scored a small victory over Burnley away from home.

Manchester City won Huddersfield 2-1 away.

It seems that the pressure is on the shoulders of Liverpool and Chelsea at the same time.

If Chelsea want to compete for four games, they have fallen behind Manchester United by four points, while Liverpool have fallen behind Manchester City by three points.

On the day of the match, the Red Army fans flocking to Anfield were warmly discussing whether mbape could continue to score goals!

The Anfield stadium is very powerful. Chelsea fans have been confused about what happened to the team over the years. One season is bad, and another season suddenly gets stronger. Such repetition is really testing their patience and tormenting them.

When the first players of the two teams came on stage, situ Yunbing still sat on the coach's bench and didn't seem to feel pressure because his opponent was Chelsea.

"Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the last game of the 13th round of the Premier League. The defending champion Liverpool is at Anfield against the runner up Chelsea last season!

As we all know, Liverpool and Manchester City are the two teams with the strongest performance this season, while Chelsea's performance has declined compared with last season. Although the season has just passed the 13th stage, if Chelsea want to maintain the hope of winning the championship, they must make efforts to win as much as possible and keep winning!

The victories of Manchester City and Manchester United put pressure on Liverpool and Chelsea respectively. It can be said that the two teams most want the result of this game to be a draw!

Then Manchester City will dominate the top!

Let's look at the starting lineup of the two teams.

Liverpool started 433 at home

Goalkeeper: telstegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Casimiro, Eriksson, Cantor.

Forwards: mbape, levandovsky, Gareth bell.

Mbape has scored goals in 12 consecutive Premier League games. He is now the holder of the record of scoring goals in consecutive games in the Premier League. Whether he can continue to refresh his record today will be the focus of many fans.

Chelsea started 352 today

Goalkeeper: kurtuva.

Defenders: Ivanovic, Christensen, Cahill.

Midfield: zampacosta, delinwater, Fabregas, Bakayoko, Marcos Alonso.

Forwards: morata, Azar.

Conti put out a 352 formation in this game. I don't know whether this playing method can effectively resist the attack from Liverpool. At the same time, their counterattack can almost only rely on Azar and morata. William's absence has a great impact on them, otherwise they will have a stronger impact on the sidelines.

The game will begin soon. Let's see the performance of the two teams today! "

With the referee's whistle, the game officially opened.

Liverpool took the lead in kick-off. While passing and transferring quickly in the middle and back court, Liverpool's formation began to press forward. Although Chelsea is nominally 352, it must be 532 in defense

The two wingers retreated to full back.

Liverpool's full back assists came to the midfield. Robertson took the back ball from the left and pushed the attack. When he saw delinwater's side defense, he quickly knocked the ball obliquely back to Cantor, who sent a straight pass.

Levandovsky took the initiative to pick up in the front left of the restricted area and hit the ball back in front of Ivanovic. Eriksson followed up and knocked the ball to the right before Fabregas blocked it.

Camero quickly followed up and took a step forward with the ball and then hit the door!

The opening will knock on the mountain!

The football flew directly to the top right of the middle of the goal. Goalkeeper kurtuva made a wonderful save. He took the racket down in the air and rushed forward to hold the ball when the football bounced back to the ground. He didn't give mbape a chance to make up shot.

"Capello's long-range shot failed to test kurtuva. It seems that the Belgian goalkeeper is in good shape today.

However, Bakayoko was in vain in defense just now. It's a little worrying about his performance today. "

Chelsea quickly launched a fast attack counterattack. Fabregas started a long pass in the backcourt to find Azar on the left in the front court. The latter encountered a close attack from Arnold after stopping the ball. He quickly shifted the ball to the inside line after getting rid of it. Cantor rushed to intercept him for a second time. Azar immediately went out to find morata in the middle.

When the Spanish center tried to return the ball to Azar under the pressure of Van Dijk's defense, his ball was intercepted by Cantor halfway.

Kanter's heel defense is in place, and morata's passing angle is not very good.

After Liverpool broke the ball in the back court, they quickly attacked the front court again. Carmelo and Eriksson passed the ball in the middle circle, and Chelsea put on a tight defensive formation.

This static defense seems airtight, but the key lies in the players' personal play!

If some players do not play well, it is easy to lead to flaws in joint defense.

Today, Bakayoko lost his way in the face of Liverpool's quick and flexible passing and personal breakthrough.

When mbape came to meet him behind, he turned and immediately rushed to mbape, but mbape knocked the ball obliquely back to the middle of the restricted area. It was too late for Bakayoko to turn back and defend!

Eriksson went forward to the middle of the restricted area, stopped the ball, adjusted one step and hit a volley!

The ball goes straight to the lower right corner of the goal!

Kurtuva was ready to run fully. After two steps, he jumped up and threw the ball out of the bottom line with one palm!

Hoo!

All the Red Army fans were sighing that the goal could not be scored!

"Kurtuva made another wonderful save! Eriksson played the ball from a tricky angle, but he didn't make any effort!

If the ball speed is faster, then the ball will definitely score!

Chelsea couldn't resist Liverpool's attack at the front of the restricted area today!

Dlinwater has been in a difficult state since joining Chelsea, as has Bakayoko. It can be said that Chelsea's midfield is in a state of chaos and panic!

We can't see their very tacit understanding and tough and calm performance.

This may be the direct reason for Chelsea's decline this season.

Mattic's departure should be a mistake of Chelsea in the summer, but Mattic himself is willing to cooperate with Mourinho again, which is the main reason for the transfer.

I think if Mattic had a choice, he would prefer to join Liverpool and renew his apprenticeship with situ Yunbing.

However, Liverpool is not short of defensive midfielders. The combination of Cantor and Camero has been the strongest midfield defensive combination in Europe in the past four years. Even if one player can't play, the other player can basically complete the defensive task. Liverpool really doesn't need to hoard too many defensive midfielders. After all, they still have Henderson who can attack and defend.

Let's see how Bakayoko and delinwater will perform. "

Chelsea's midfield this season is not so simple as weak, but chaotic!

The confusion of offensive organization and the mistakes in defense will naturally lead to unfavorable results.

Obviously, the whole European football world has entered a state of "midfield shortage".

Whether offensive or defensive, or B2B midfield, there is a price without a market.

Take the attack as an example, de Brauner, cross and Modric are all in the first echelon, but in the second echelon, the front waist like Eriksson is out of stock!

The same is true of midfield defenders. This is an era when there are almost no great gods!

So it's really valuable for Chelsea to spend money to strengthen midfield players, but in fact, the effect is not good, or very general!

Especially in the top battle of strong dialogue, it is often clear at a glance whether the players are strong enough or not.

Chelsea's strong team this season has not performed well except winning Manchester United, so it is not just facing Liverpool that there are some problems. The problem has always been, but there is no better solution.
