Standing in front of the goal, van der Sar kept beating back and forth, and his hands kept shaking.
Goalkeeper is a very special profession, because in the whole game, the number of times they really need to make a save is very small, even sometimes there may not be a whole game, no one knows when it will come back.
However, when it comes, it requires you to do your best.
Therefore, in every game, the most important thing for the goalkeeper is how to keep his body in the best condition.
It''s only August now, and the situation is not particularly obvious, but once we enter the cold winter, that''s the real test.
Van der Sar, who has been in the Premier League for two seasons, has accumulated a lot of experience.
At the back of the team, he seems to be doing his own thing, but he has been watching the movement on the field and keeping in touch with the captain Terry and Gallas in the back line.
After the start of the game, Liverpool took advantage of their home advantage and launched a rush against Chelsea, which greatly dampened their spirit.
After all, this is the first game for Chelsea, so the blues are safe and not in a hurry.
"William, be careful, Owen."
Heskey began to withdraw, Terry followed, but Owen came in from behind, van der Sar immediately reminded Gallas.
But this time, Liverpool did not grasp the passing time, Owen spurted for nothing.
"Paul, pay more attention to Diouf."
Van der Sar noticed that just now Diouf and Owen almost at the same time forward, but he is sticking to the left.
All this seems to have been premeditated.
Van der Sar has a lot of experience and concentration, always watching the game.
Liverpool''s constant testing has finally created opportunities.
In the second minute, Heskey retreated. After receiving the pass from his teammates, he made a wall pass back to Murphy. Murphy picked the ball straight behind him, while Owen sprinted forward at a very fast speed.
The sudden opportunity made Anfield boiling.
But at the critical moment, van der Sar suddenly and decisively attacked, rushed to the front of the big restricted area, grabbed before Owen, and directly released the ball with a big foot.
Gallas, who followed Owen, nodded to Edwin van der Sar and congratulated himself.
If Owen had just hit back, he would have been the number one culprit in the team.
But Liverpool didn''t give up and soon regrouped and went back to the half of Chelsea.
Still husky retreated, but this time he went straight to the left. Diouf used his personal speed to break through Ferreira''s Cross, which was easily picked by van der Sar near the penalty spot.
Like a fox, Owen tried to force van der Sar to get rid of him, but failed.
Both opportunities were frozen by Edwin van der Sar, and Owen seems to be reluctant.
But Van der Sar did not pay any attention to him, but yelled at his teammates, asking them to press on.
Big kick-off, it''s van der Sar''s best.
After several minutes of being suppressed by the opponents, all the top and bottom of Chelsea were choked. Seeing van der Sar shouting like this, they immediately pressed forward.
With a bang, the ball was quickly kicked out of the penalty area, flew over most of the stadium and landed in the position of Liverpool. It seemed that Ibrahimovic had been stuck in the spot for a long time.
As soon as the ball arrived, he headed back to midfield.
Deco, Ronaldinho, Deco, Makelele, Veron
The ball was passed around like this. It was all a quick and simple touch, which made the players of Liverpool want to get close to it and grab it. They could only watch the ball shuttle back and forth in the crowd.
Finally, the ball fell to Terry''s feet, and Liverpool gave up the middle and front court press.
They also have to think about their physical consumption. If they continue to chase the ball like this, they will have been caught by Chelsea and scored first before they can get the ball.
But Chelsea are not in a hurry, still to consolidate their control of the ball, playing very patiently.

"Good, good. Take your time. Don''t worry."
Gao Han applauded on the sidelines and conveyed his meaning to the players on the field.
It''s nearly ten minutes since the start, and now we''ve got the ball. Liverpool''s drive is not to be said.
"What a tough beast to tame High cold tut tut praise way.
From the beginning of the game to now, it''s very fierce, but it''s not wonderful enough. There are many problems for Chelsea, especially the mistakes in passing and receiving the ball, which still can''t meet the requirements of the cold.
But this is not urgent, only with the deepening of the season, the players gradually develop a tacit understanding, I believe it will improve.
With Chelsea holding the ball, Gao has been watching centre back Terry.
Terry''s ability to get and get the ball is very good. When the team controls the ball, he can effectively become an important receiving point for the team. In addition to Gallas and Edwin van der Sar behind him, it''s very reassuring for Chelsea to control the ball in the middle and back court.
What''s more, Terry didn''t fall behind when defending Heskey. He even restrained Heskey''s performance for many times and showed his own defensive ability. In time, he will definitely become the flag of the back line of Chelsea.
"It''s a centre back with a potential of 180."
Before he took charge of Chelsea, Gao had already scanned the situation of the players with his eyes.
As one of the team captains, John Terry''s potential is as high as 180, which is the highest potential centre back ever coached by Gao Han. He is only five points less than Nesta of AC Milan and Cannavaro of Inter Milan, keeping pace with Ferdinand of Manchester United.
But Terry is younger, so his strength is slightly inferior to Ferdinand''s 170, only 160, but this strength is enough to make him stand firmly in the Premier League.
As for the other centre back, Gallas, who has a potential of 175 and a strength of 165, is also excellent.
Gao also has high hopes for his two centre backs. He is confident that he can turn them into a pair of the strongest centre backs in the Premier League and even in Europe, and become an iron wall in the back line of Chelsea.

"I didn''t expect that in a short period of two months, the cross control of Chelsea was very good."
Andy Gray has been impressed by the way Chelsea managed to hold the ball.
"Yes, it looks like Atletico Madrid, but the formation is different." Martin Taylor thought it was good, too.
Atletico Madrid''s playing method is very ornamental, and advocates aggressive offensive football, which is very popular with fans.
"It should be said that Atletico Madrid pays more attention to the promotion of the middle, but from the point of view of the layout of Chelsea''s platoon, Ronaldinho is arranged on the left, Eto''o plays on the right and Ibrahimovic is in the middle. It is obvious that they pay attention to the attack of two sides."
Andy Gray''s analysis was immediately accepted by Martin Taylor.
"And if you look at the midfield, Deco and Veron are in the front position with a wide range of activities. The two players are very active. In addition, Makelele is behind him, which greatly shares the defensive pressure of the midfield, so Deco and Veron can devote more energy to organization and attack."
Martin Taylor said with certainty: "it must have been the elaborate arrangement of the high cold."
Just when I said that, I saw that on the pitch, the ball from the back of Chelsea was passed to the front court, and Ibrahimovic grabbed the first landing point. The front fulcrum of the Swedish center was very obvious.
"Tut Tut, Ibrahimovic is really strong. He''s strong against Hyypia and Henchoz. He doesn''t lose at all."
"Yes, it wasn''t particularly obvious when I was in Ajax before, but now it seems that my physical fitness is really excellent."
"Now Chelsea are able to capture the first point, but the next attack has not been well organized
"Well, let''s see how the high cold is adjusted."

"Well, do you think those two guys are strange?"
Gao Han pointed to Ibrahimovic and Eto''o on the court and asked strangely.
Cantarello and emery nodded at the same time.
Sergio Garcia is the data to speak, "the game so far, between them only two passes, but also in the case of forced pass."
It''s obvious that these two guys have problems.
"What''s the matter?" Gao Han asked his assistant.
But everyone was confused.
Ibrahimovic and Eto''o are people with a lot of personality, or some strange and proud, so even if they have something in mind, they will hide it. Naturally, no one knows.
Front court attack Trident on the three people, the two do not communicate with each other, then also fart ah?
But they don''t seem to be feuding, and they don''t see any conflict during training.
Gao Han shook his head and sighed. He said frankly that he didn''t understand.
"We have to strengthen the second point of attack." Cantarello warned.
"Why don''t you let the midfield get more forward?" Emery suggested
Gao Han nodded.
The problem for Liverpool now is that there is a lack of a stable back between the back line and the midfield. Neither Murphy nor Biscan can effectively protect the defence, which has become the biggest hidden danger for Liverpool.
It is estimated that because of this, Liverpool won 11 consecutive rounds without Hamann last season.
Now, if Chelsea want to break through the goal of the Red Army, they have to take this area.
Thinking of this, Gao Han immediately went to the edge of the court and made a gesture to deco.
He and Deco worked together in Atletico Madrid for two years. They were familiar with each other and understood each other. When he made a gesture, Deco immediately understood.
At the same time, Gao Han also called nearby Ronaldinho to let him hold the ball more. It''s better to make use of his personal ability and try to break through or cut in more. This is the Brazilians'' specialty.
After sending off Ronaldinho, Gao Han entered the coaching system.
"Five star attack card starts, target: Eto''o."
"Five Star Assault card launched, target: Ronaldinho."
"Successfully activate the combination card effect, and make great progress."
With the use of two five-star skill cards, the attack of Chelsea on the scene immediately became more threatening, especially Ronaldinho, who was on the left side, began to make frequent use of his own ability to get the ball. In the front court, he was like a dragon into the clouds, stirring up the defensive line of Liverpool.
No matter Carragher, Henchoz or Biscan, they failed to stop the Brazilian court magician.
Until the twenty seventh minute
