Christensen: This is how we defend against Liverpool

27 Feb 2022


Supporting each other will be key to Chelsea repelling the Liverpool
attack today at Wembley reckons Andreas Christensen, as he targets another
trophy to add to his medal collection which has swelled considerably in
recent months.

The 25-year-old played in our meeting with the Reds at Anfield at the
start of the season, when the Blues defended solidly to earn a 1-1 draw,
and although a back problem rendered him unavailable for the pulsating 2-2
rematch at the Bridge at the start of January, he knows fully what it will
be like to be in the Chelsea rearguard this afternoon and what will be
required.


'The first game, at Anfield, we got a red card quite early in the game and
from then on, we just had to take the point,' Christensen recalls. 'In the
second game we fought back [from 2-0 down] and I think we were unlucky not
to win the game in the end.

'So we are looking at ourselves and the performances that we've done
against them and trying to take that on board for the next one. But at the
same time, it's a final, somehow it feels a bit different in the game.


'It's very hard to compare that to the league games and what we've played
against them so far. A final is completely different, anything can happen,
but it will be taken on board what have we done against them in the past.'


The includes when Chelsea have defended well against Jurgen Klopp's
outfit.


'Liverpool come at you with energy, with their runs, and there's
never-ending movement,' Christensen notes. 'I think we've found a good
balance to do it as a back five, so you're not in it alone - not
one-against-ones all the time.


'You've always got someone backing up and that's important because
Liverpool have a phenomenal front three who are dangerous all the time and
never seem to get tired. For us, it's just about backing each other up and
being there for each other. If you do all these one-against-ones, at some
point you might slip up for one second and you can't afford that.'


Moving on to Chelsea's own attack, our young Danish defender, from his
place within the camp, finds it harder to see why Romelu Lukaku's current
form is such a big story.


'I think when you're in it, you probably don't recognise it as much. I
have played against Romelu so many times I know how difficult it is to do
that.

'I'm not really recognising it because I see what he does every day and I
don't see any difference in his mood or whatever. We're still enjoying
playing together in training, he kicks them in the top corner, he holds
the ball up well, so for me it is hard to recognise all the talk about
it.'


Looking even closer to home, Christensen believes his own form is now much
closer to where it should have been earlier in his Chelsea career, which
now spans 10 years.


'I've been here for so long and there have been a lot of different
managers as well. It's hard as a young player to prove yourself all the
time but coming from the Academy, people knew me so well and the last
couple years has probably been where I should have been the whole time, at
a constant level.


'That's probably my biggest flaw, that I wasn't consistent enough, but I
feel like the last few seasons I've got that and it has been a lot better,
for me personally and just being a part of what we are trying to do now
is great.

'Thomas came in, he knew me from Germany, and I got the idea quite early
so it's just helped me massively. I had the space to do mistakes and still
play the next games. Earlier I might have struggled to get back in the
team after a mistake.


'It's helped my confidence and helped the team. He's given a lot of space,
not just for me but for everyone just to do what they can, allowed to make
mistakes. It happens, as long as we learn from them, and I think in that
sense he's helped me a lot.'


Turning to the challenge immediately at hand today, despite having won the
Champions League and the Club World Cup so recently, it has not dimmed
Christensen's hunger for the Carabao Cup final.


'I feel like I've been in a lot of finals that we lost,' he points out.
'Now in a season like this it is very important for us to get this trophy.
Right now we're not giving up in the Premier League but it looks a little
bit far away. So for us this is a big opportunity to get another trophy.'

當我漫遊在斯坦弗森林時，我看見了雀爾西，米爾斯的女兒，在傍晚初升的明月中，
在泰晤士河旁一處林地空間上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的記憶都離開了我，我像落入迷離
幻境中一般，因為雀爾西是伊露維塔兒女中最美的一位。她身上那襲藍色的衣裳宛如
萬里無雲的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星閃爍的天空；她的斗篷上繡著金色的花
朵，她的頭髮漆黑如暮色中的陰影。她的榮光與美好，就像樹葉上的光芒，像是潺潺
流水，像是這迷離世界上方閃爍的繁星；她臉上有閃亮的光輝。
