Football’s First Defender

Chapter 475: Retreat

Lukaku played again, allowing Liverpool to directly reverse the score.

Looking at the back of Lukaku celebrating, many players, including Gerrard, were a little unwilling and even angry.

In the Merseyside Derby, being a young offensive player to complete such an amazing performance is somewhat unacceptable for the Liverpool players.

The lag of the score naturally stimulated Liverpool and had to use greater efforts to attack and recover the score.

In fact, in the previous game, Liverpool was not without a chance.

Suarez's game state today is not bad. Not only did he score a direct free kick, he also hit a counterattack, which created many opportunities.

However, in terms of overall offensive coordination, some of Liverpool's offensive players still do not match.

This may be Rogers’s last resort. The FIFA game consumes too much for Sturridge, so Rogers can only put Sturridge on the bench as a change, and dare not let Stu. In the first game, Richie, if he has too much physical and condition problems, then the impact on Liverpool will be huge.

But without Sturridge, although Coutinho's position is advanced, Liverpool's striker attack is not bad, but in the midfield, Joe Allen obviously can't achieve Coutinho's role.

It's okay to let Joe Allen be a passer, and let him be the last participant in the offense, but there are still some discomforts.

Nowadays, Liverpool's fast-paced offensive mode and the huge threat on the front line can contain a considerable amount of opponents' defensive energy, and in fact, can provide a great space for the midfielder to plug in.

However, if Gerrard is inserted, it can indeed create a threat, but Joe Allen's insertion, like Arsenal’s Ozil, can sometimes run to the offensive position, but the final shot is still obvious. Lacking.

Before Lukaku's second goal, Liverpool actually had many opportunities.

Especially by seizing the opportunity to counterattack after the end of Everton's offense, Liverpool can create a very threatening attack opportunity.

Suarez alone can create a great offensive threat.

The breakthrough technology that does not need to be fancy, is the small technology of controlling the ball in a small range, sensitive reaction speed, and excellent observation ability.

Suarez can still keenly find the opponent's defensive opening when there are two or three defenders in front, so that he can successfully complete the breakthrough.

When Suarez reluctantly broke through the frontal defense of the two from outside the penalty area and was blocked by the opponent's leg, he completed the pass and sent a through ball laterally.

Joe Allen, who came in from the middle, kept accelerating, and got the pass directly. There was one in the penalty area and the opportunity to face the goalkeeper directly.

At the moment of receiving the ball, a kick is completed directly.

However, this kick shot with almost no defensive pressure, Joe Allen actually pushed the shot missed.

This time, the Everton goalkeeper had a chance to hit the goal from close range in the penalty area, but he didn't even have time to react.

The ball has been shot out of the baseline, the Everton goalkeeper is just stunned.

If Joe Allen’s kick shot is within the range of the goal frame, Liverpool should be the first team to take the lead in the second half.

Even Suarez is actually in the process of breaking through, and he has a chance to hit the goal in extreme situations.

However, Suarez unselfishly chose to pass, but Joe Allen did not give Suarez an assist that he should have received.

If you follow the usual tactics of the game, it may be Sturridge that came to that position, or Coutinho who should have been in the midfield position, neither of them would waste such an excellent shot. opportunity……

With the score being overtaken by Everton, Rogers can no longer watch the ball freely from the sidelines.

After a long season, Rogers knew that the team could not maintain a winning streak. For this Merseyside Derby, Rogers knew that at home in Everton, or in the case of Everton performing so well this season, It is normal for Liverpool to be unable to win the game after being affected by the FIFA event.

However, Liverpool must not lose in this rivalry. Although the points of loss and draw are only 1 point away, it has a huge impact on the morale of the team.

Sturridge and Sterling, who had been warming up in the second half, got the chance to play at the same time.

Lucas and Joe Allen were replaced.

Let Henderson, who has the most stamina, go directly back to the defensive midfielder from the right midfielder's position, partner captain Gerrard, and then let Coutinho return to the midfield attacking midfielder position.

On the front line, the "3s" combination enhances the team's offensive firepower.

Liverpool, when falling behind, put out what may be the strongest offensive lineup the team has so far.

Everton, who has reversed the score and has further increased morale, still has no intention of giving up the initiative to attack at home.

However, with the addition of the two new players in Liverpool, and inspired by the stronger fighting spirit that the Liverpool players stimulated when they fell behind, the Liverpool players began to compete with the Everton players in the midfield. Contention.

Stirling is extremely fast, Henderson and Sturridge are physically strong, and Kubird, Suarez and Gerrard are smart.

Liverpool's midfielder, with the current lineup, can make a better frontcourt.

In the fierce midfield battle between the two sides, the Everton side, who had more physical energy before, was the first to lose.

Liverpool, in the final moments of the game, began to dominate the offense.

After the 3s combined at home, combined with the strong offensive ability of the midfielder, even if the offensive help provided by the two full-backs is limited, Liverpool still showed an excellent offensive state this season.

The continuous attack constantly compressed Everton's defense.

There are also more threatening offensive opportunities.

Everton's defense has also begun to be exhausted~lightnovelpub.net~Sometimes it can only use fouls to prevent Liverpool players from attacking.

Liverpool's chances of positioning the ball have also begun to increase.

In the set-piece defense, the two points Yang Feng and Scott were focused on by Everton players.

In particular, Yang Feng, who gave Coutinho an assist in the first half, was double-teamed by two Everton defenders.

The set ball on the right was kicked out by Gerrard in an arc and flew into the small penalty area.

The speed of the ball is extremely fast, and there is no obvious falling trajectory.

Sturridge first rushed forward with the crowd, but did not wait for the back point area where the ball might fall, but rushed out at full speed, struggling to take off.

It is impossible to swing his head to attack the goal, and Sturridge's jump height is not enough.

But Sturridge tried his best to raise his head, but still rubbed his scalp against Gerrard's shot.

This scratch caused a slight change in the direction of the football. The ball was point directly from the front and did not change the big falling trend, but slightly changed its direction. It flew to the goal post area behind the goal and flew directly into the net.

3 to 3!

Liverpool kept offensive, and in the end, Mr. Sturridge, the "one goal per game", came off the bench and finished the third goal to tie the score.

Both sides returned to the same starting line.

In the last ten minutes, Liverpool was not reconciled to a draw, and Everton was equally reconciled.

The two teams fought against each other, but physical problems caused the offensive efficiency of both sides to actually decrease.

In the end, neither team scored any more goals, and the 3 to 3 score was maintained to the end.

A big draw is not a joy for everyone, but for Rogers, being able to retire on the road is also considered to have completed the goal set before the game...
