1953-54 season, Liverpool was unfortunately relegated, and a year later, Chelsea was crowned the top league champion in England for the first time. It was not until 1962 that Liverpool returned to League One under the leadership of Shankly. In the first season after the handover, Liverpool beat Chelsea at home and away. 1In March 1965, goals from Stevenson and Thompson helped Liverpool beat the Blues 2-0 in the FA Cup semi-final, and the Red Army reached the final and finally won the FA Cup trophy for the first time.
After Shankly abdicated, the "boot room system" ensured that the Li Wupu dynasty lasted for 20 years. Chelsea's fate is ups and downs. The Blues were demoted twice in 1975 and 1979, and did not return to League One until 1984. The record of the confrontation between the two teams began to tilt towards Liverpool. The Red Army killed its opponents in three seasons: 1972-73, 1973-74, 1989-90. During Dalglish's reign, Liverpool were unbeaten in League One 10.
In the mid-1990s, with Bates in charge of Chelsea, the Blues began to spend a lot of money to recruit stars, and Chelsea's strength improved significantly. 1In the fourth round of the FA Cup in 1996-97, goals from Fowler and Collymore once gave Liverpool a 2-goal lead away from home, but in the second half, Chelsea made a big counterattack. Hughes, Zola and Viali won four games in a row, and Chelsea made a 4-2 comeback. The Blues went smoothly and won the FA Cup for the second time at Wembley.
During the time when Houllier and Ranieri coached the two teams, they also played many classic battles: in the 0 1-02 and 02-03 seasons, Liverpool beat Chelsea twice in injury time, and Smicer and Owen drove Anfield crazy. In May 2003, the two teams competed for the fourth place in the final round, with a value of150,000. The winner is eligible for the Champions League. Goals from desailly and Glenshire helped Chelsea win 2-65,438+0 at home, and Houllier lost the last bet.
In the summer of 2004, Benitez and Mourinho landed in the Premier League at the same time, and the competition between the two clubs heated up sharply. The two sides have played 10 times in the last two seasons, and the intensity of competition is rare in European football. In the 2004-05 season, Chelsea were invincible, beating Liverpool in the league and beating the Red Army 3-2 in the Carling Cup final. Just as Mourinho was tense, the two teams met in the semi-final of the Champions League. Liverpool did their best in the battle at Anfield. Garcia's winner helped the Red Army 1-0 beat Chelsea and then won the Champions League for the fifth time in Istanbul.
The 2005-06 season is almost a replica of the last season. Chelsea beat Liverpool again in the league and both teams drew in the Champions League group stage. It was the semi-final. In the fifth game of the season, Garcia-Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-/Kloc-0 again at Old Trafford, and then won the FA Cup for the seventh time.
The two teams have met 142 times in history, and Liverpool has the upper hand with 64 wins, 29 draws and 49 losses. Looking at the record of the confrontation between the two sides basically reflects the ups and downs of the two teams. Liverpool's dominant record benefited from the 20-year-long Red Army dynasty. As a football upstart, Chelsea's winning percentage in recent years is also considerable. Benitez and Mourinho, who have a jade complex, will present more classic games in the future.
