Chapter 274 The Boy with the Wind
"Zhuangdianertai, Zhuangdianertai!"

"Here is the live broadcast of the 30th round of the English Premier League, Liverpool vs. Chelsea"

"The referee is already looking at his watch!"

"Okay, the game has begun. Let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams. First up is the home team Liverpool!"

Liverpool (4-4-1-1)

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Klein, Chloë Toure, Lovren, Alberto Moreno

Midfielders: Henderson, Milner, Emre Can, Coutinho

Forwards: Firmino, Sturridge

Head coach: Jurgen Klopp

"Then it was Chelsea who reported to reporters before the game about the injuries of Willian and Zouma, but the two players were still in the starting lineup for today's game."

"It is common to let injured players participate in the game with closed wounds in the Champions League and national team games. However, Chelsea certainly has their own reasons for doing so today. There are two games left, and this is the most critical period for Chelsea to win the championship."

"When you walk through a storm~"

"Hold your head up high~"

"And don't be afraid of the dark~"

"At the end of a storm is a golden sk~"

"..."

Really worthy of being the number one in the Premier League and the Champions League, Liverpool fans gave Chelsea a warning at the start of the game, demonstrating their home advantage to the fullest.

Liverpool's current league ranking is rather awkward. They need to win all the games in the 30th and 38th rounds to qualify for the UEFA League. If they lose any of them, Liverpool will have to say goodbye to the European war next season.

The opponent in the last round was okay, a mid-level team West Bromwich Albion, but the opponent in the make-up match was really difficult to deal with. Chelsea is now at the top of the standings. Although Chelsea's first place is a bit of luck, the team's strength is definitely unquestionable as they have reached this point.

The home team coach Jurgen Klopp wore a peaked cap, his hands folded across his chest, and his expression was terrifyingly serious. The German coach joined the team temporarily last fall, and the pressure now is undoubtedly very great. Moreover, in the first half of the season, Liverpool lost at Stamford Bridge, and Klopp was also sent off for a conflict with Mourinho.

He received a red card less than a month after taking office. His ability to receive cards is comparable to that of Mourinho.

"give him!"

Jiang Yuan took the ball and turned around. Fabregas, who had a wider field of vision behind him, began his command. Under Fabregas's guidance, Jiang Yuan directly passed the ball to the left. William and Hazard cooperated, and finally Hazard got the ball on the left.

"Hazard, take the ball to the baseline. Henderson doesn't want him to pass, so he calls Milner to help defend. Hazard cooperates with Mikel behind him."

"It was a collision... Hey, it wasn't a two-on-one. After Mikel received the pass, he didn't choose to pass it to Hazard, but directly gave it to William outside the penalty area!"

"William, go into the penalty area!"

"Eevee!"

"It was a header, oh! What a pity, Ibrahimovic's header was too real and was easily caught by the goalkeeper"

fuck!

Ibrahimovic roared in the penalty area, obviously not very satisfied with his shot. He scored 11 goals in half a season in Paris, but after coming to Chelsea, not to mention scoring goals, even shooting opportunities are pitifully few.

Of course, this is related to Chelsea's current lineup. With Hazard on the left and Jiang Yuan on the right, it is impossible for two lone wolves to pass the ball to themselves like Mora and Di Maria. Ibrahimovic had some complaints about this, but he didn't express it.

Because as early as this winter, Mourinho had talked about this matter with Ibrahimovic, according to Ibrahimovic.

God creates the ball himself.

The pretense before the transfer should be repaid after the transfer.

Chelsea played more steadily in today's game, so the tempo was a bit slow. But this is only slow relative to Chelsea. This tempo is still relatively fast in the entire Premier League.

Fabregas and Willian, these two players, one is the engine of Chelsea's offense, and the other is Chelsea's metronome. If Mourinho wants to adjust the rhythm of the game, he only needs to adjust these two players. The other teammates play the game according to the rhythm of Willian and Fabregas.

Chelsea can still compete for the title even if they draw, but Liverpool will have to say goodbye to the European competition if they draw. As Mourinho guessed, Liverpool will definitely speed up before the end of the first half.

In the 34th minute of the game, Firmino used his excellent dribbling and positioning ability to help Liverpool find an offensive opportunity. The straight pass from the Brazilian striker almost tore open Chelsea's midfield defense.

Coutinho passed through the space between Jiang Yuan and Fabregas, ran to the front and stopped Firmino's through pass.

"Woww!!"

The fans screamed at Anfield. Coutinho dribbled the ball down the wing, but Jiang Yuan did not follow him. Instead, he chose to mark Emre Can in the middle.

"Give it to Coutinho. This Brazilian teenager is very good at passing key balls, but his crossing level is very average to be honest. Let's see what choice Coutinho will make today."

"Keep going to the baseline, Ivanovic is retreating"

"It looks like he's going to cross the ball."

"Look at the quality of Coutinho's cross"

"Well! It's at the back post, the position is pretty good, Klein heads the ball back to Henderson, Henderson sets up the ball for Kolo Toure, who makes a long shot!"

"Wow, the power was strong enough, but the ball just flew out. However, the defender's footwork is understandable."

Kolo Toure covered his face with his hands after his long shot went wide, looking somewhat frustrated, and Klopp did the same outside the field.

As for Mourinho, the Portuguese did not look very good.

Liverpool has a new coach and several key players are injured. Logically speaking, shouldn't Chelsea be suppressing Liverpool?

Why is it 55- now?
“Let’s go!”

At the end of the first half, the two teams drew. Chelsea had the advantage in ball possession with 62%, but both sides had very few shooting opportunities.

It now seems that between Klopp and Mourinho, whoever finds the problem on the field first will take the initiative in the second half.

At the same time, in Leicester, England, the Foxes' players gathered in the base. In front of them was a very large screen showing the match between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Vardy clasped his hands together and kept muttering things like "Come on Liverpool" and "Come on Klopp". It was obvious that this guy really didn't want to see Chelsea win.

The players were more nervous than each other, but Ranieri, the Italian, seemed to have let it go. He was lying on the sofa next to him, holding a glass of grape juice with a few ice cubes floating on the purple juice. "There's no need to be nervous. We and Chelsea have already secured qualification for the Champions League."

Ranieri talked about relegation before the season, and now at the end of the season, his goal is still relegation. As for the Champions League spot, that is just a side task besides the main task of relegation.

Mahrez lies on the bed, and the second-best scorer in the Blue Fox team is receiving an essential oil spa from the physiotherapy team: "Well, my dream is to win the Premier League, but I haven't won a Premier League championship yet"

"me too!"

Vardy raised his hand. He came to Leicester City from Fleetwood Town for 2012 million euros in 120. At that time, Leicester City was still a Championship team.

Vardy is already very satisfied with playing with the team all the way to the Premier League.

As for the Premier League championship, that is just a game for the top teams, and Vardy doesn't dare to have much hope for it.

In recent years, the Premier League champions, apart from the Manchester City duo, are Chelsea. The other team's title win dates back to the 03/04 season, when Wenger led Arsenal to suppress Chelsea and Manchester United and win the championship. Then there is the trio of Manchester United, Manchester City, and Chelsea.

If other teams want to win the championship, first of all, they don’t have enough capital. Just like Chelsea, they only have one striker who can directly compete with the entire Leicester City team. In this case, it is impossible for ordinary teams to achieve the same results as the top teams.

It's the same with football, basketball, and rugby. Having money does not necessarily mean good results, but having no money means no results.

……

At the start of the second half, neither Liverpool nor Chelsea made any substitutions. Chelsea continued to attack from the right.

With two "pops", Jiang Yuan touched the ball with his left and right feet continuously. When Coutinho stepped forward and prepared to chase back, Jiang Yuan's ankle shook.

"Put your crotch on others!"

"A very nice crotch pass!"

"There is still some distance from the baseline, Jiang Yuan chooses to cut inside"

"Middle, to William!"

"William passed the ball to Ibrahimovic in the front, who then passed it back to Hazard. It was a very wonderful pass in the frontcourt. The cooperation between Chelsea's forwards is getting more and more tacit."

Because the attack just now was launched from the right, many of Liverpool's defensive players are now on Jiang Yuan's side, which is their strong side of defense. After Hazard received Ibrahimovic's return pass on the weak side, he decisively went down the flank.

The attack must be quick and decisive, otherwise it will be too late by the time Milner and Firmino run over.

Tiktak, tikktaata, Hazard ran towards the baseline with the ball. Although he was fast, he did a very good job of protecting the ball, as if the ball was stuck to his feet.

Klopp obviously emphasized that when Hazard went down the flank, Klein was very focused, and with Henderson returning to defense, Liverpool was prepared to use two wingers to defend Hazard at the same time.

Just as Hazard was about to get close to Klein, his body suddenly paused, as if the net had suddenly jammed. Then, Hazard flicked the ball in with his left foot and passed it directly between Klein and Henderson.

"wowwww!!!"

"watch out!"

Firmino, who was watching from a distance, shouted loudly, meaning that Klein should reach out and knock Hazard down, even if he got a yellow card, he had to stop the Belgian king from cutting in. Unfortunately, Klein hesitated, and when he made up his mind to foul, Hazard had already rushed into the penalty area.

Jiang Yuan, Ibrahimovic, and Fabregas were crowded in Liverpool's penalty area. At this time, Liverpool's two central defenders, Kolo Toure and Lovren, were already sweating profusely.

Kolo Toure defended Hazard one-on-one, but because Hazard had already entered the penalty area, he would not make any moves easily.

Hazard was seen stepping in front of the ball with his right foot, pretending to make a reverse triangle pass, but actually sending the ball directly to the middle.

Inside the small penalty area, Ibrahimovic kicked the ball directly, but it hit the right post and bounced out. On the right side, Jiang Yuan kicked with his right foot.

!!!

Mignolet successfully blocked the ball with a lotus pose, but because he did not use his hands, he could not control the ball. The ball came to Ibrahimovic's feet again, and the Swedish center easily scored with a push shot.

“GOOOOOOOO—AAAAAAAAA—LLLLLLL!!”

As the live commentary sounded, Ibrahimovic, who had scored a goal, ran to the right and rushed directly towards Jiang Yuan.

wow！

Jiang Yuan opened his arms and prepared to give Ibrahimovic a big hug, but he didn't expect Ibrahimovic's impact force to be so strong. The two of them collided and Jiang Yuan fell directly to the ground.

"shit!"

"Ha ha!"

Ibrahimovic stumbled a few steps and quickly pulled Jiang Yuan up from the ground: "Are you okay?"

"it's okay no problem"

Jiang Yuan shook his head. There was some blood from the friction between his arm and the grass, but it was just some superficial injuries.

[Shocked! Ibrahimovic used team violence against Jiang Yuan! ]

[Hahaha, these two shots were also delicious, but it’s ok as long as they went in, Chelsea will win the championship! ]

[Is Ibrahimovic's impact force so strong? I see Xiao Jiang is full of muscles, will he be knocked down? ]

[Liverpool is stronger than I thought. The verdict is clear. Klopp is not a shock wave.]

[It seems that Liverpool has become stronger, but in fact Chelsea was weak in this game. William is not in a good state after being injected with a closed syringe...]

[Don't expect too much, William is already playing very well, and replacing Oscar may not have the same effect]

[By the way, Oscar hasn't started in many games. Has Mourinho forgotten about him? ]

[Oscar is too bad. I wouldn't use him even if I were Mourinho. There was news that Oscar was going to come to the Chinese Super League, but I don't know if it's true or not]

[Oscar is coming to the Chinese Super League? Damn, that would be a killing spree, I’m looking forward to it]

[No matter how hard he tries, he won't be as good as Jiang Yuan in the U-series Asian Cup. Don't expect too much. It's better to watch the Olympics than the Chinese Super League. Xiao Jiang VS Neymar! ]

[At the beginning of the season, I bought Chelsea's championship for 2000 yuan. The odds were about 5.5 at that time. Brothers, can I make money? ]

[My evaluation is that it is better to buy Xiao Jiang's Golden Boots than to buy Chelsea's championship. Chelsea is unpredictable, but Xiao Jiang has always been in C]

The score deficit made Klopp a little anxious, and the German coach immediately made a substitution, replacing Milner with Benteke.

Klopp's substitution changed Liverpool's formation from the original 4411 to 4321. However, because Sturridge's role in today's game was not a standard center forward, Liverpool's 4321 can also be seen as a variation of 433.

Strengthening the number of players in the frontcourt is something that almost all coaches like to do. Normally, such substitutions will not play much role in equalizing the score, but Klopp's substitution is really effective.

After Benteke came on, Liverpool's frontcourt attack seemed to be activated and Chelsea felt under great pressure.

In the 82nd minute of the game, which was 15 minutes after Klopp replaced Benteke, Benteke, who came on as a substitute, assisted Sturridge and successfully broke the Chelsea goal defended by Courtois.

fuck!

Mourinho put his head in his hands.

It really showed off to Liverpool!
In the final moments, players from both teams attacked each other like crazy, but neither achieved any results. At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 1:1.

After this game, Chelsea is 3 points ahead of second-placed Leicester City and 1 goal behind Leicester City.

Because of Liverpool's sudden obstruction, the suspense of this season's Premier League championship remained until the last round.

Chelsea plays against Leicester City at home. If they win or draw, Chelsea will be the champion.

In the locker room, Jiang Yuan felt a little stuffy. Before the game started, he saw the stadium staff bringing the league trophy over, and there were even people discussing the layout of the podium under the stands.

I thought I could win the trophy today, but it turned out to be just a dream.

"Ding dong!"

At this moment, the cell phone in Jiang Yuan's cabinet rang. Jiang Yuan walked over, picked up the phone and saw that the message came from the National Olympic Group.

"The boy who blows the wind has joined the group chat"

[Fu Bo: Work transfer notice. After comprehensive discussions between the Olympic Committee and the coaching staff, I will no longer be the head coach of the team for the August Olympic Games. The new head coach will be Instructor Li Yi. There will be no changes to other members of the coaching staff.]

【Thank you for your support for my work in the U23 Asian Cup! (Flowers) (Flowers) (Flowers)】

"Fu Bo has left the group chat"

"The boy who blew the wind changed the note to Li Yi"

"Li Yi changed the group name to: A loving family"
