Football Giants
Chapter 849: It's not over yet!
simple?
Yes, it is really simple!
If sitting in the stands, just ordinary fans, they will definitely be anxious for Liverpool's defense.
Because they can't imagine why it was so simple that Southampton tore the defense and scored.
However, in Wang Lei's opinion, this is not simple.
Not to mention just now that Hazard was able to pass the ball under the double-team of two players. Just this ability, looking at today's football, how many people can do it?
And looking at what he looked like just now, he did it deliberately, the purpose is to pull Liverpool's defensive players to the left, attracted to his side, and then pass to Di Maria.
In the entire transmission process, Di Maria was only a transition, but it also played a vital role.
That was the ball he gave to Fabregas, which was well and comfortable.
This allowed Fabregas to catch up from behind and pass the foot diagonally like a scalpel.
This is a pass with very proven skills!
As a midfielder, Wang Lei knows in his heart that if you want to pass such a kick, it does not mean that you can pass it when you see it, especially like Fabregas, who pass it so accurately and quickly. .
"Is this the level of the top professional players in Europe?" Wang Lei was already stunned.
He found that watching it on TV and watching it live are two completely different experiences.
At least, he has been shocked now.
Not only him, but always looking at the money, Gao Ren, who is bold and daring, is also dumbfounded.
As the so-called insiders watch the doorway, the outsiders watch the excitement.
Only people like them who have experienced professional football training for many years can feel the strength of Southampton.
At the same time, it also made them feel self-doubt involuntarily.
Can we really play with so many outstanding top stars in the same stadium and on the same team?
Raiola looked at the faces and expressions of the two teenagers. Although he was calm, he was still satisfied.
He can see that Young Master Huan attaches great importance to these two teenagers, and he has seen it himself and obtained their information from the Southampton scout team, and he is also very optimistic about the two players.
These are two good seedlings!
Young Master Huan handed them into his own hands, thinking that he could help him cultivate these two seedlings!
Realizing this, Raiola dare not care.
He meticulously arranged this trip to Anfield Stadium, hoping that they can come to the scene to see what the top European professional league looks like and how high the level of top professional players is.
As a person, what I fear most is that I cannot see myself clearly and cannot accurately position myself.
The same is true for the players!
Even, in Raiola's view, accurately grasping his own abilities and positioning himself in the team and his role in professional football is what a professional player must have.
Today, he just hopes that Wang Lei and Gao Ren can see this clearly and see the gap clearly.
Because only in this way can they understand how to work hard and how to make progress.
If just because of the gap, you lose your confidence and motivation to make progress, then Raiola can only say that they are not suitable for being a professional player at all. It is a good thing to leave early.
The fans in the stands have different expressions and different thoughts, but on the court, the players against both sides are still fighting.
Because Southampton took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field, making the game more unrestrained.
Liverpool were anxious to tie the score and defend the dignity of the Anfield stadium.
Southampton, on the other hand, did not give in, head-on, taking advantage of the team's goal, morale soared, and launched a fierce battle with Liverpool.
Both you come and I go, playing on the court is a joy.
But in terms of the situation, Southampton still has the upper hand.
At the very least, Liverpool failed to find an effective way to score into the Southampton penalty area. The shots were mostly from the periphery, but such shots would hardly threaten Neuer's goal.
Both sides have a fast pace, the ball has changed hands frequently, and the game has become very intense and beautiful.
Raiola asked them to pay more attention to the two teams, especially Southampton's offensive and defensive transition.
As a midfielder, Wang Lei is keenly aware that Southampton’s offensive and defensive transitions must be faster, more efficient and more precise than Liverpool’s.
And all of this is because of Tony Cross in the midfield position.
He can always find the most effective and most accurate offensive line in the shortest time, and deliver the ball to the frontcourt as quickly as possible and hand it over to the offensive players.
Just like this time, after Southampton's backcourt steals, Liverpool counter-robbed the frontcourt.
After Tony Cross ran to the open position to catch the ball, he made a long pass directly to the ground, passed the half-court accurately, and landed at the feet of Chilean winger Sanchez.
Sanchez is unguarded. After stopping the ball, he turns around, speeds up, and rushes forward!
Liverpool's midfielder simply couldn't keep up. Seeing that Sanchez had reached the front of the penalty area, Scotter had to choose to grab, while the Chilean volleyed directly.
As a result, the ball hit Scotter's feet and bounced to the right.
Is that all done?
not yet!
Just saw Southampton's right back Danilo catching up from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, he cut to the center, attracted the defensive player, and crossed to the front of the penalty area.
Di Maria caught up and, after receiving the ball, made a very light pass.
The ball dangled over the heads of the Liverpool centre-backs and fell behind them.
In the penalty area, Suarez passed through the middle of the two defenders like a loach. He turned around, stopped in front of the ball in his chest, turned around, and volleyed without waiting for the ball to land.
With this shot close at hand, Liverpool's goalkeeper could do nothing!
Two to zero!
After scoring two goals, Liverpool was a bit frustrated, while Southampton's morale skyrocketed. With a big push, it almost suppressed Liverpool and completely dominated the game.
And in the forty-fourth minute, Di Maria played a two-to-one match with Tony Kroos in the midfield and picked a pass to Hazard on the left. The latter drove the ball into the penalty area, but was caught The opponent's defender Lovren knocked to the ground.
The referee undisputedly awarded a penalty kick, but did not impose an additional penalty on Lovren.
Hazard personally took the penalty kick, three to zero!
This goal made the entire Anfield stadium silent.
I am afraid that everyone present would not have thought that Liverpool would encounter such a disastrous defeat at their home court.
This is the first half!
But soon, the tenacious Red Army fans began to sing the team's song that you will never go alone. It was very loud and very exciting, but it failed to reverse the situation.
"Liverpool and Southampton are no longer on the same level!"
Raiola's tone was cold, as if he was sentenced to death.
"Liverpool in the Benitez era was able to perform the miracle of Istanbul because the Red Army still has a system, but now, Rogers’ Liverpool does not have a stable team concept or a mature tactical system. Ampton fight?"
Speaking of this, Raiola is also frowning. He has some doubts, is it a suitable choice for Balotelli to join Liverpool?
Now he is very suspicious!
It’s just that Milan’s Barbara called him, saying that the team wants to sign in and try their best for the results of the new season, so they have to sell Balotelli and let Raiola quickly find interest. Team.
At that time, Liverpool was also eager for help and was able to meet Balotelli's various requirements, so the two sides hit it off.
But now it seems that this is probably not a good choice.
Wang Lei and Gao Ren were a little surprised when they heard this.
If, as Raiola said, Southampton and Liverpool are no longer in the same class, then, is Southampton too strong? Or is Liverpool too weak?
This is probably hard to say clearly.
But one thing is certain.
That is, after taking a three-goal lead in the first half, Southampton still did not relax in the second half.
Liverpool’s astronomical defense line costing nearly 100 million yuan was completely disintegrated in the fierce attack of Southampton.
The best embodiment of this is Southampton's fourth goal.
At that time Hazard was holding the ball on the left, and Glen Johnson and Joe Allen defended him at the same time.
But everyone was shocked that Hazard took the ball out of the double-teams of the two players with ease, and even went into the penalty area.
As a result, after the Belgian attracted Lovren's attention in the penalty area, the bottom line knocked back, Suarez in the center followed, a push shot, and once again penetrated Liverpool's goal.
However, after Suarez scored, he still did not celebrate, but walked back to the center line in silence.
Perhaps, in his heart, facing his old club, even scoring goals, his heart is not very comfortable.
And after Suarez scored, the singing voice that never walked alone on the scene also weakened.
And it was getting weaker and weaker. In the end, no one sang at all.
But the game is here, obviously not over yet.
At the 79th minute of the second half, another attack from Southampton hit the front of Liverpool's penalty area. Hazard took the ball from the left and tried to pass the ball into the penalty area.
Skrtel tried to clear the ball with a big foot, but unexpectedly kicked it crookedly and fell to the feet of Fabregas who was inserted later.
Spain faced the ball in the middle of the scene, and another through-knife-like precision kick, which accurately delivered the ball to the right side of the penalty area, unguarded by Sanchez.
The Chilean winger stopped, pushed and scored again!
Unlike Suarez, Sanchez, who scored twice, was so excited that he rushed out of the court and celebrated his twice.
And the whole Anfield Stadium is deadly silence~lightnovelpub.net~ I am afraid that before the game, even the most optimistic fans of Southampton would not have imagined that the Saints would be able to play at Anfield Stadium. Beat Liverpool more than zero.
Rogers sat down in the head team coach's bench, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment, but it would certainly not be good.
In the first game of the new season, they encountered such a shock. This is definitely a heavy blow to Liverpool, who vowed to keep the top four in the league before the season and strive to win the championship.
Whether it is Lovren on the defense line or Balotelli on the front line, it is obvious that they have not been able to change Liverpool's current predicament.
And Southampton used this game to completely play its own European championship momentum.
More importantly, the debuts of the two new midfielders, Fabregas and Di Maria, are satisfactory and amazing.
This also makes people look forward to the new season of the Saints even more.
