Football’s First Defender
Chapter 392: Henderson's growth
These young people in Liverpool, everyone is constantly growing and improving.
is young and growable. This is the first impression of this Liverpool team.
At the beginning of the season, Henderson, who has not yet entered the eyes of Rogers Law, was in constant training and successfully squeezed out Rogers’ direct line player Joe Allen and successfully squeezed into the current Liverpool starter.
Active, running a long distance, coupled with increasing technical ability, and better defensive ability than Joe Allen, Henderson's top position is the result of his continuous efforts.
In this kind of strong matchup, even if Henderson is not playing in the midfield position he is good at, he is arranged to be close to a wing position, behind him is a younger Wisdom, who needs Hender. Sen went to help him complete more defensive tasks. Henderson did his best in this game.
"Arsenal's attack is still concentrated on their right side. Although the attacking routine has been seen by Liverpool players, Arsenal is now planning to rely on the hard power of the players to forcefully create opportunities on the wing."
"This time, Wilshere's pass was too anxious. Although the ball was passed to Walcott's feet, there was no room for a breakthrough on the wing."
"Weissdom and Henderson's front and back flanking strikes directly intercepted the ball at Walcott's feet to complete this defense."
"Henderson passed the ball directly to Lucas, Liverpool's counterattack opportunity!"
Liverpool has been in a suppressed state in the second half of the game. At this time, even if there is a chance to counterattack, Arsenal's counter-grab on the spot is also very good.
After Lucas receives the ball, all the points where he can pass the ball in front of his eyes are defended by Arsenal players.
And his own ball position in the midfield, also suffered from Giroud behind him, as well as Cazorla in front of the double attack.
"Lucas passed the ball back to Yang Feng."
"After Yang Feng adjusted, he passed the ball directly to the middle circle."
"Suarez came back to the empty space where Yang Feng passed the ball, unloaded the football, and turned forward."
The tacit understanding between Yang Feng and Suarez in long-term training is fully revealed in this pass.
Suarez had just dribbled the ball a few steps past the half, and before he really entered the area where he could threaten with a long shot, he met Vermaelen who came to defend.
wanted to try to get rid of, but Vermaelen’s position selection was very precise. Suarez couldn't shake the space and could only try to force a breakthrough with speed.
But Vermaelen was very smart and ran into Suarez head-on, whether it was a foul, or even if Suarez passed, but the teammates behind him, facing Suarez who lost his balance, will defend more easily. This time Liverpool’s counterattack will be directly ended.
Vermaelen’s collision did make Suarez a little off balance, but before falling to the ground, Suarez sent the ball diagonally to the middle.
Sturridge's counterattack on the left drew more defensive attention from Arsenal, while Suarez's pass from the center had only one point.
"Henderson! From the backcourt, at full speed, he received the through ball from Suarez and drove the ball directly into the penalty area."
Facing the closing defense of Mertesacker and Gibbs, Henderson moved the football to his right foot and avoided Mertesacker on the left, and then leaned against Gibbs. , Interfere with Gibbs's defensive action on the right.
"Pass through the two closed doors!"
"Mertesacker is still too cumbersome. Henderson rushed through him easily. Henderson is now fighting against Gibbs physically while dribbling the ball into the penalty area."
"Gibbs, the pull on his arm did not block Henderson's footsteps. Henderson finished getting rid of it and continued forward."
"Szczesny's attack, Henderson chose a low shot!"
"Szczesny blocked it!"
"But!"
"and also!"
"goal!!!"
"Henderson, make a fill shot!"
"After Szczesny blocked Henderson's first low shot, Henderson moved forward sharply and easily pushed the shot from the far corner before Mertesacker reached the defensive position."
"Henderson actively jumped in this time and won Liverpool's second goal of the game. Liverpool gained a two-goal lead."
In the 59th minute, Arsenal's siege in the second half was unsuccessful. Instead, the opponent Liverpool scored a counterattack again.
Liverpool took a 2-0 lead.
Professor Wenger also had some helplessness on the sidelines. The team won offensively without scoring, and in fact, it has done a very good job in defending the opponent's counterattack. However, with multiple defensive players in the backcourt, Henderson was able to make Henderson hit the needle, forcibly hit 2 and broke into the penalty area. The goal was achieved by a supplementary shot. This can only be said of Arsenal. Today I did not perform well enough.
Two goals behind, although Wenger has not yet made substitution adjustments, but Arsenal at home, many players have begun to unify their minds and continue to attack desperately.
…………
"Ramsey's long-range shot hit the goal! It flew out!"
"This is already Arsenal's third long-range shot in a short period of time. The two goals are behind. It is obvious that Arsenal's players start to choose simple and rude attack methods to end the attack."
"But such threats are actually extremely limited."
The Liverpool players have the advantage and they are more active defensively.
is nothing more than mental satisfaction, which cannot completely relieve the physical fatigue. In the last 20 minutes of the game, the physical stamina of most of Liverpool's players has almost reached a critical point.
In this game, Arsenal's attack did not go smoothly because of the impact caused by the use of the Liverpool players to use their physical ability to run and intercept.
Although the defensive effect of the previous game was very good, the physical disadvantages will begin to show up in the final stage of the game.
"Sania is holding the ball on the right."
"Arsenal squashed Liverpool's defense this time."
Walcott has penetrated the penalty area from the right, but with Henderson's follow~lightnovelpub.net~Sania wanted to pass the through ball diagonally, but in the end he didn't make a line, but he himself Wilshere crossed to the penalty area line.
After Wilshere got the ball, he had a good long shot opportunity when Liverpool's defense was completely compressed in the penalty area.
"Henderson jumped forward to limit Wilshere's long-range shot attempts."
Under Henderson’s quick defense, Wilshere changed the long shot to a pass, but when he landed, he chose to pass the ball with a kick and passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Ramsey withdrew.
Yang Feng clings to Ramsey directly, first of all he will not have a chance to kick, and then he will look for the possibility of direct interception.
But Ramsey didn't choose to stop the ball. Facing Wilshere's pass, he made a horizontal stroke without stopping and handed the ball to Walcott not far away.
"Walcott is empty!"
Henderson’s forward defense supplemented Wilshere, and the defensive attention of other Liverpool players was taken care of within a range in front of the goal. Walcott was in the right area outside the small penalty area, so Although Yang Feng is aware of the gap in existence, he has no spare capacity to complete the defense.
"Shot directly from a small angle!"
"The ball is in!"
"Little Tiger Walcott!"
"A small angle hits the goal straight to the far corner, Reina can't make a save, Arsenal, 67 minutes, the score is back to 1 to 2..."
