After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Director Zhang added his thoughts on Liverpool's defense during this period.
"To be honest, the Liverpool players have done their best on defense. Every player has performed admirably, and everyone has been fully focused on their tasks."
"The reason Chelsea managed to score this time is largely because Su Luo's pass was simply too sharp!"
"He truly left the defenders with no chance."
"That through ball completely dismantled Liverpool's defense. It's a perfect demonstration of Su Luo's individual brilliance!"
At this moment,
in the stands of Anfield,
a large number of Liverpool fans were visibly angry.
They were deeply disappointed in their team's defensive efforts.
Perhaps the most frustrated of all was Liverpool coach Klopp.
To be fair, Klopp had already done everything possible.
He was well aware of Su Luo's terrifying abilities,
so he constantly instructed his players to apply pressure on Su Luo the moment he got the ball.
It was clear that Liverpool's players had executed Klopp's defensive instructions perfectly.
But unfortunately,
while they successfully prevented Su Luo from breaking through,
they failed to stop his incisive pass.
That scalpel-like through ball was simply sensational.
It sliced Liverpool's defense apart effortlessly!
The game continued.

Time was running out for Liverpool.
Only ten minutes remained in the first half.
On the sidelines,
Klopp was now heavily focused on offense.
"Everyone, press forward and attack!!"
"We must put pressure on them!"
"I need you to equalize before halftime!"
At the same time,
in the stands of Anfield,
tens of thousands of fans roared out offensive chants.
Their message was clear:
they wanted their team to score as quickly as possible.
Fueled by the fans' deafening cheers,
Liverpool's players switched into attack mode.
One thing was certain—
Liverpool's offense remained incredibly sharp.
In midfield,
Coutinho received the ball and made an immediate decision.
He opted to dribble forward aggressively.
Coutinho, a natural attacker, understood the importance of breaking through the opposition's lines.
He knew that creating pressure on Chelsea's defense was critical, and the key to doing so was controlling the midfield.
As Coutinho surged forward,
Chelsea's midfielders quickly sprang into action.
Cesc Fàbregas, supported by Zappacosta and another player,
swiftly closed in to intercept.
It was undeniable—
Chelsea placed great importance on neutralizing Coutinho.
As for Coutinho,
he remained confident in his abilities.
Even against multiple Chelsea players,
his performance was commendable.
Without hesitation,
he made a decisive move.
He accelerated and relied on his speed to attempt a breakthrough.
While his actions were sharp and well-executed,
the truth was—
Coutinho had overestimated himself.
At the edge of the penalty area,
Coutinho found himself surrounded by Chelsea defenders.
In that moment,
he had only one option left:
pass the ball.
After a brief hesitation,
Coutinho made his decision and sent a through ball.
