, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the football player!

On April 21, at 8:45 p.m. local time in the UK, Liverpool’s away game against Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-final round began at Stamford Bridge.

This game is inevitable for both sides, and strive to eliminate their opponents.

When it comes to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, of course no one will give up easily.

Therefore, in this game, both sides have each ranked the strongest lineup that can be discharged.

Liverpool still has a 433 formation,

Goalkeeper: Mignole;

Defenders: Moreno, Scotter, Lovren, Emre Can;

Midfielder: Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho;

Forwards: Sterling, Jackie Lee, Sturridge.

The current lineup is the most neat lineup in Liverpool.

Sturridge has been injured for most of the season and has finally been able to play normally.

In fact, he was injured for too long and his condition was not good, but Rogers has always trusted him.

Last season, Liverpool could get the Premier League runner-up, Sturridge did have a lot of credit, so he has always had an important position in Rogers' heart.

In addition, Sturridge has played for Chelsea, this game can be regarded as his old club.

There are always some players in football who play very well against their old club.

And Glen Johnson's recent state is not very good, so Rogers let Emre Can be the right back, to be responsible for defending Hazard.

At Chelsea, they arranged a 4231 formation.

Goalkeeper: Courtois;

Defenders: Aspilicueta, Terry, Gary Cahill, Ivanovic;

Midfielder: Kanter, Mikel;

Midfielder: Hazard, Fabregas, William;

Forward: Drogba.

Due to Diego Costa's injury, this gave Drogba a chance to win the start of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After returning to Chelsea last summer, Drogba was basically playing off the bench.

After all, he is old, and his state of decline is very obvious.

Now there are some veterans in both teams, which has also attracted the attention of commentators from various countries.

"This red-blue battle in the Champions League quarter-finals may have brought back memories of many Premier League fans."

"On the pitch, we saw Gerrard, Terry, Drogba, Scotter and others. Time is like going back to a few years ago. Every year we saw Liverpool vs. Chelsea in the Champions League. ."

"And this game will definitely be eliminated by one side, then no matter who is out, someone will usher in their own Champions League finale."

"If Chelsea are out, this will be Drogba's last Champions League match, because after the end of this season, Drogba will go to the American Major League to play and basically retired directly there."

"If Liverpool are out, this will be Gerrard's last Champions League game. He will retire after the end of the season."

In the discussion of various countries' commentators, the game officially started.

Chelsea, playing at home, showed great form from the beginning.

In the opening Liverpool's first attack, Kanter stole Coutinho's ball, but fortunately he failed to create a threat.

Three minutes later, Drogba and Hazard made a wall kick and completed a heavy bombardment.

A few minutes after the game started, Chelsea took the initiative on the court.

And they quickly turned this initiative into a goal.

In the 11th minute, Hazard crossed from the wing and Drogba defeated Lovren to complete the header.

Although the ball did not score, but Mignole made a flying save.

In the following corner kick attack, veteran Terry successfully found the opportunity to complete the header, and it was completed on the head of Gerrard.

After Terry's header bounced in front of the goal, it flew directly into the lower left corner of Liverpool's goal, and Mignolet couldn't react at all.

"Goooooooooal~~~~~~~~" The goal of more than ten minutes in the opening made the commentators all over the world shout.

"Terry, Terry scored with a header!!"

"In the familiar red and blue battle, it was the familiar player who finished the goal!"

This Terry scored at home and instantly made Stamford Bridge boil. Chelsea fans on the spot were shouting with exhaustion.

Since the 11/12 season, Chelsea finally saw the hope of qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals, and they are of course very happy.

Mourinho on the sidelines is still thinking about waving his hands in the stands, making the atmosphere more popular.

At present, Chelsea has basically locked the Premier League championship, whether it is Mourinho or his players, they all want to move on in the Champions League, and even fight for the championship.

On the Liverpool side, they lost the ball shortly after the opening, which was a big blow to the team's morale.

After the kick-off, Chelsea took this opportunity to continue to strengthen the offensive.

In the 17th minute, Hazard sent a coquettish outside instep pass, but Drogba was so aging that he couldn't understand the opponent's intention at all.

In the 20th minute, Aspilicueta sent a cross, Hazard rushed to the goal to grab a shot and pushed the ball to the outside of the post.

"Everyone is cheering up, this is the Champions League knockout, not team training!" Li Chenglong quickly shouted, refreshing his team.

If you continue to be passive like this, maybe Chelsea will really have to score again.

Maybe it was Jackie Lee's words that had an effect, maybe Chelsea was tired, and their rhythm finally slowed down.

At this time Liverpool breathed a sigh of relief, and finally played the offense that it should have.

In the 24th minute, Li Chenglong passed Fabregas and Mikel in the midfield and sent a precise through.

Chelsea’s defense failed to make an offside, but Sturridge seized the opportunity to get the ball forward to form a single shot.

But when this guy had a chance to pass to Sterling to push the empty goal, he greedily made a forcible hit, and Courtois threw the ball out.

Sturridge's own playing style is indeed like this ~www.NovelMTL.com~ That's why there is the nickname of the English lone wolf.

Hush~~~

Although the goal was not scored, it shocked the Chelsea fans at home.

Here is Stanford, Chelsea’s home court, because the Blues failed to score an away goal in the first leg, so in this game, as long as Liverpool score, it will become a key away goal of the top two, making Chelsea uncomfortable. .

Therefore, the Chelsea fans in the stands all booed a huge boo, directed at Sturridge, a former Chelsea general.

"Staring at people~~~ Staring at people!!!" Mourinho on the sidelines was also dissatisfied with the defense distress this time, and shouted there.

Mourinho's words were really effective, and Chelsea really became a lot more stable and did not give Liverpool a good chance.

At the same time, they themselves did not play too many threatening offenses when they slowed down.

In this way, at the end of the first half, the score was still 1:0, and Chelsea, who played at home, led by one goal.
