The match between Liverpool and Chelsea.

In this match, Liverpool are currently in a state of 1 goal behind by Chelsea who managed to make a quick attack.

The game is also now at the 11th minute, the ball is still in the possession of the Liverpool players who are designing attacks.

They want to quickly avenge their lag by the quick goal earlier.

It looks very difficult for Liverpool to recover this position, because the Chelsea players played solidly enough.

They fill each other and complement each player who is pressing, this makes the ruler of the ball of Liverpool players also a little confused.

Game time goes on, with struggles in midfield.

Even so, attacks from both teams also did not stop because of the struggle in midfield.

Chelsea have also launched an attack again, the total shots that Chelsea have until the 21st minute now are 5 shots and 3 on target while the rest are just shots that are still off the goal.

Liverpool who try to attack and equalize certainly have a total number of shots more, they have a total of 7 attempted shots, but the only one on target is 3 and the rest are off the mark.

Entering the 26th minute, Chelsea counter-attacked very quickly.

They do a pretty short bait.

Chelsea midfielder Jorginho made a flat pass and it was really splitting between Virgil and Joe Gomez.

Chelsea striker Kai Havertz held his pace and managed to grab the ball.

He ran alone towards the Liverpool goal which is currently guarded by Allison.

Virgil and Joe Gomez also ran after Havertz.

Upon entering the penalty box, Havertz made a slow curling shot directed into the bottom left corner.

Allison tried to reach for the ball, but his hand was still not until he tried with all his might to push his finger to reach the ball, but still not until.

The ball eventually goes into the net.

The Liverpool players saw this as well immediately speechless.

They are currently behind again 2 goals.

This made them a little incredulous.

The game also started again soon after Havertz finished his celebrity.

Liverpool immediately do possession and press very high.

Virgil also went up half the pitch to make the defence more forward and help the pressure.

In the 33rd minute, Felix received a pass from Declan Rice.

Felix then turned around but was immediately intercepted by Thiago Silva.

Felix then tried to keep the ball, but the pressure given Thiago Silva is not small so Felix is difficult to defend the ball.

Before losing the ball, Felix had thrust the ball slightly into the right penalty box.

The Chelsea goalkeeper immediately ran to pick up the ball, but unfortunately he was helped by the running speed of Mbappe who had started shooting.

The unprepared kepa finally just gawked at seeing Mbappe kick the ball.

The ball that Mbappe kicked was very hard and it went to the bottom left.

Kepa can't do anything.

Mbappe immediately did his celebration.

The match also continued.

Now the two teams press each other aggressively to seize the ball.

Chelsea certainly do not want to be overtaken by Liverpool while Liverpool certainly want to immediately equalize.

The intensity is very high at the moment, the tempo of the game also becomes fast.

Sean who saw this also moved to the rhythm of the game.

When entering the 44th minute, Liverpool get a corner.

Liverpool players will already do the celebration when they see the ball headed by Florian leads to a deadly corner.

But when the crucial moment, the ball did not enter but instead hit the crossbar.

The players instantly move again to take advantage of this wild ball.

But the pace of Kepa, the Chelsea goalkeeper is very fast.

The chances Liverpool have are finally gone.

Until halftime both sides fight each other for the ball in midfield.

In the dressing room, the Liverpool players at the moment look a bit frustrated.

The boss also comes in and looks at his players.

"Enough, you guys played really well earlier."

"Don't blame yourself too much, this game Chelsea deliberately made with their tempo, so we lost our way of playing."

"What we need to do in the second half is focus, do not be easily provoked by the tempo of their game."

"It is precisely we who should make them enter the tempo of our game." Boss.

The players who were drinking were also listening to the boss.

"Flo, multiply short passes with Aurelien, try pulling them first."

"Don't rush." Continue boss.

Florian also nodded in understanding.

"Felix, move more flexibly don't just stay that way."

"You're not a pure attacker, so your free movement is exactly what will make opposing players fear you."

"So use your brain, your agility and your speed to keep moving."

"Sean and Mbappe try to ask for the ball back and try to do acceleration."

"Don't just wait, it'll be hard for us to score if we're like that again." Boss.

The players nodded nodding just a sign of understanding the boss's words.

"Virgil, defensive line don't play, try to stay patient to play catchy." Her speech.

Before long, the break time was up, the match also started again.

Liverpool had the ball, but now it's different.

They do mastery in their own territory not in midfield.

The Chelsea coach also nodded to see the different tactics carried by Liverpool.

The game also went on, going into the 53rd minute, Sean got the ball.

He accelerates and robs full back opponents.

After succeeding Sean cut inside and did a curling kick to the far post.

Hoping it will be a goal, the ball actually hit the crossbar.

But fortunately, Mbappe came to pick up the wild ball and shot it again.

The goalkeeper who was not ready because he had just fallen to take action on Sean's shot was just gawking at seeing Mbappe make another shot at his empty goal.

In this way the position in the match becomes 2 2.

The Liverpool crowd also cheered loudly when they saw their team equalise.

The match continued again after Mbappe finished celebrating.

Chelsea tried to do possession, but Liverpool patiently wait and will press when the ruler of the ball of the opposing player is right in midfield.

When the Chelsea players take control in his territory, the Liverpool players will step back and wait in their own territory.

In this way, Chelsea are also a little difficult to build attacks again.
