Chelsea scores without worries, fighting against Newcastle is the key, Liverpool wins four and takes the lead

03:00 on May 9th In the second leg of the European Union semi-finals, Chelsea faced Jurgaden at home. Chelsea defeated his opponent 4-1 in the first leg. He can be unbeaten at home because the team still needs to stay in preparation for the subsequent away game against Newcastle, and the four major battles cannot be lost.

In the 35th round of the Premier League, Chelsea defeated the visiting Liverpool 3-1 at home. The away team has won the league championship this season ahead of schedule and is also the most stable giant this season. Therefore, this victory not only allowed Chelsea to win three consecutive victories, but also gave the team more confidence to compete for the Champions League qualification next season.

Just 3 minutes into the game, Chelsea tore open Liverpool's defense like lightning. Neto showed excellent breakthrough ability on the right. After cleverly swinging past the defensive player, he accurately passed the ball near the penalty spot. Enzo quickly stepped forward and calmly pushed the ball to score. This goal was like a thunderbolt, instantly igniting the passion of Stamford Bridge and also set a new record for Chelsea's fastest goal against the top team.

Enzo's goal not only reflects his excellent in-goal smell and shooting skills, but also demonstrates the strong desire for victory that the whole Chelsea team showed in the opening stage. In the subsequent games, Chelsea continued to maintain an active offensive posture and threatened Liverpool's goal many times. Although Liverpool has the advantage in ball possession rate, under Chelsea's tenacious defense, its offensive efficiency is not high, and offensive players such as Salah have also missed opportunities many times. In the second half, the drama of the game was further upgraded. In the 55th minute, Palmer shook continuously on the right, successfully broke through Liverpool's defense line and made a cross. Van Dijk made a mistake in clearing, and the ball hit Kuansa and bounced into the goal, and Chelsea led 2-0. This own goal undoubtedly made Liverpool's situation worse and made it more difficult for the team to score points.

In the 84th minute, McAllister took a corner kick from the right, and Van Dijk jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball to win a goal, winning a goal for Liverpool. This goal demonstrates Van Dijk's strong personal ability and advantages in air confrontation.

However, Chelsea did not give Liverpool more opportunities. In stoppage time, Kesedo was knocked down by Kanssa in the penalty area, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick. Palmer withstood the pressure and achieved it in one go, locking the score at 3-1, while also breaking his 18-game goal drought. This penalty not only reflects Palmer's psychological quality at critical moments, but also injects a shot of a boost to his personal confidence.

Judging from the player's performance, Enzo is undoubtedly one of the heroes of Chelsea in this game. His opening blitz set the tone of victory for the team. In the game, he not only performed well on the offensive end, but also participated in the team's offensive organization many times, but also actively fought on the defensive end, showing strong fighting spirit and comprehensive ability. Kesédo also performed well. He contributed as many as 17 steals throughout the game, effectively limiting the performance of Liverpool's midfielder and creating penalty kicks in stoppage time, making great contributions to the team's victory.

Although Palmer was in a goal drought before, his performance on the offensive end in this game was remarkable. In addition to the final penalty, he also created opportunities for his teammates through breakthroughs and passes many times. The almost 0-degree shot hit the post showed his boldness and confidence.

For Liverpool, Van Dijk's performance is worthy of recognition. His header saved the team a little bit, and there were many key clearances and blockades on the defensive end. But the team's overall performance was not satisfactory, especially with many mistakes on the defensive end. Kanssa's own goal and the last-minute foul giveaway have both become the turning points of the game. In addition, Liverpool's rotation in this game has also caused some controversy, and some substitutes' performance in the game has failed to meet expectations, which has also affected the team's overall combat effectiveness to a certain extent.

From a tactical perspective, Chelsea's tactics were implemented in this game very well. They disrupted Liverpool's pace with fast offense and active pressing in the opening stage and gained a lead. After leading the way, Chelsea did not blindly defend, but continued to maintain the threat of counterattack, taking advantage of the speed and breakthrough ability of players such as Palmer and Neto to create opportunities behind Liverpool's defense line many times. On the defensive end, the whole Chelsea team united and worked closely together, successfully limiting Liverpool's offense. In contrast, although Liverpool has a high ball possession rate, it has insufficient offensive organization and efficiency, and has failed to effectively convert the ball possession advantage into goals.

This game is of great significance to Chelsea. Not only did they tie the fourth-ranked Newcastle United in the standings, they continued to retain their hope of qualifying for the Champions League next season, but more importantly, this victory greatly improved the team's morale and confidence. After a period of ups and downs, Chelsea has shown good form recently, and the three consecutive wins have made the team full of fighting spirit. Next, Chelsea will play in the double-line battles in the European League and Premier League. How to reasonably arrange the lineup and maintain the players' form will be an important challenge for the team. In the next round of the four-game battle against Newcastle, all three points must be scored.
