Football’s First Defender

Another battle between red and blue, another duel between giants, but this time, after the two teams have just produced a big deal that shocked the football world in the winter window, the direct confrontation again is more attractive to the fans of the two teams And the attention of neutral fans.

The transfer was completed on the last day of the winter window on January 31. When the Red Army’s new aid debuted, it was in the home game against Stoke City on February 3, and this week’s Premier League is a double match a week, so Liverpool The duel with Chelsea started on February 6th.

Only one week after the direct substitution and transfer of the two teams, the two teams that completed the shocking deal will meet directly. The heat caused by off-court factors is extremely high, and this game is of greater significance to Liverpool.

Due to the poor record of the team in the first half of the season, Liverpool is still 9 points away from fourth-ranked Chelsea. When the league has entered the second half of the season, Liverpool must win this direct confrontation. Can put more pressure on Chelsea later.

In fact, for a giant team like Chelsea, whether it is 6 points or 9 points, in the league, as long as you don't make mistakes, it is already a big gap.

But after all, there is still hope for Liverpool to complete the counterattack. As long as it is at Anfield this time, Liverpool can seize the opportunity and win this red-blue battle.

This is the first time that Torres returned to Anfield after a lapse of a week. He has not been away for a long time, but he has changed.

The previous Torres, within Liverpool, may have become the team's banner figure second only to Gerrard, but in the golden period of his career, Torres chose to transfer in the middle of the season, absolutely throwing himself to Liverpool The antithesis of fans.

Regardless of what Chelsea fans think of Yang Feng's application for a transfer. However, judging from the news disclosed when Yang Feng left Chelsea, Yang Feng applied for a transfer during the summer offseason, but Chelsea chose to forcefully keep the player, hoping that Yang Feng would change his mind.

And this season, even though there is no progress in the contract extension between Yang Feng and Chelsea, Yang Feng did not let off-court factors interfere with him, and still defended Chelsea's defense better. Compared with Torres' forced palace, Yang Feng obviously did. better.

As for Liverpool fans, they will never forgive the defection of the former Red Army's best striker.

In the middle of the season, when the team was at a trough, they forcibly applied for a transfer to leave during the season. Although Liverpool also had their own remedial signings, Torres's departure behavior was directly positioned by many Liverpool fans. Yu benevolence and injustice.

Perhaps if he left in the summer, Torres would not suffer such hostility from Liverpool fans, but when the team performed poorly and in the middle of the season when the Premier League record was so difficult, Torres abandoned the team. It is definitely unacceptable to Liverpool fans. This kind of negative emotion directly turned into resentment towards Torres himself.

The deep responsibility of love! How deep was the love back then, and how crazy it is to hate now.

Before Chelsea's bus entered the stadium, it was surrounded by some crazy Liverpool fans on the road. Next to the car, the fans put up slogans mocking Torres and a banner with the words "Traitor", with England's national curse in their mouths.

In the sport of football, players on the field really need to control their emotions rationally, but fans off the field, as the "parents of food and clothing" of the players, only need to enjoy the game and care about the team. The team spent money and put in their hard work, they just need to be "cool".

These slightly crazy Liverpool fans, as long as they don't do things that are too outrageous like those football hooligans, and the fans properly release their anger, the local police in Liverpool will not meddle in their own business.

The fans can only use slogans and waving angry movements to put pressure on Torres outside the car, express their dissatisfaction at this time, and let Torres, the "traitor", be punished for betraying the team.

As experienced Liverpool fans, you will not really hit the Chelsea bus and cause harm to Chelsea players.

Stop for a moment, let the players in the Chelsea car, especially Torres, see the banners and slogans in their hands, disgusting Torres is the purpose of these fans.

Under the police's maintenance of order, Chelsea's bus was able to move on, but Torres in the car still felt a little embarrassed.

Torres, who is a Spanish country, just wanted to escape from Liverpool. No matter how good he performed, he could not win important championships.

Torres wants to play for some of the more powerful giants in the golden period of his career, so that he can have the opportunity to win the league and the Champions League.

Although Torres also considered before the transfer that Chelsea's offensive system may not be suitable for him, because Chelsea has never had that kind of technical and agile forward players on the offensive end.

Therefore, among the midfielders, there are not such excellent midfield passers.

However, considering the strength of Chelsea's two wings and possible reinforcements in the center in the future, Torres still left Liverpool under Chelsea's offer.

For this season, before Torres also believed that he was in Chelsea's original lineup, he could still display a certain ability to grab points.

However, Drogba used the whole game to prove that even though Torres came to Stamford Bridge with a price of 50 million pounds, the boss of the team's striker is still Drogba himself.

For many players who participated in the offense, Torres still needs to adjust, but after fighting side by side with Drogba for so long, they have formed a tacit understanding on how to pass the ball more threateningly. Drogba is of course Chelsea's well-deserved first point of attack.

In this game, Yang Feng did not appear on the field again. For Yang Feng, the most important thing at this time is to take care of his injuries, and he will actually appear on the field next season to play for Liverpool.

However, the tens of thousands of Liverpool fans in the audience, although Suarez, who scored a goal in his first show, the fans still booed Torres the most.

Deafening boos resounded throughout the Anfield stadium. Torres' return to the game, as soon as he played, he enjoyed boos from the fans who loved him at the beginning.

And throughout the game, Torres continued to stay out of Chelsea's offensive system.

Even if Ancelotti sent Drogba, Anelka, and Torres' trident lineup, it increased the strength of the striker.

But compared with Anelka and Drogba who can grasp the attack distance, Torres still can't find a tacit understanding with Drogba at the front.

Not to mention that there is no passing connection with Drogba, even Torres sometimes unconsciously enters Drogba's offensive area when grabbing points, brings his own defenders, interferes with Drogba, and makes Drogba glaring at each other.

Although Chelsea's three forwards are placed at the front of the lineup, their strength on paper is very scary.

But in the game, Liverpool's defense found it much easier to defend than when it first encountered Chelsea in the league.

I don't know if Liverpool's defense has improved or Chelsea's offense has weakened.

Whenever Torres got the ball, all the Liverpool fans booed him in unison, which also caused a lot of psychological pressure on Torres.

Although the stadium is very familiar, under the interference of boos all over the sky, Torres could not control his technical movements to the best and his performance was not up to standard.

On the other hand, Suarez, who was bought to fill Torres' vacancy, continued his outstanding performance.

With Suarez scoring a wonderful long-range shot in the 62nd minute of the game, Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 at home. Throughout the game, Chelsea's offense did not show its due strength, and the offensive end was very messy.

With the high efficiency of scoring goals in two consecutive games, Suarez has become the new darling of Liverpool fans.

At the end of the game, all Liverpool fans chanted Suarez's name, showing their love for the new aid who joined the Red Army family.

I saw the newcomers laughing, but not the old ones crying. Perhaps, as time goes by, in the eyes of Liverpool fans, the image of Torres running after scoring the goal will become less and less...
