Football’s First Defender

Chapter 495: Still rely on offense

In the final stage of the first half of the game, the home team Liverpool’s offensive still did not improve much. The final half-time score was still 2-0. The away game Villa was unexpectedly achieved by virtue of the team’s excellent offensive performance. A two-goal advantage.

   In the first half of the game, Liverpool not only did not significantly improve the team's defense, but even the offense that the team should have played was quite unsatisfactory.

   It is not only the problem of not being able to score goals, but Liverpool on the offensive end, the entire first half did not even cooperate with the threatening attack that should have been played.

The team’s offense is more on the surface, there is not enough threat, mainly focused on long-range shots, there is no threatening penetration attack in the past, the threat is not enough, it is also that Villa can unscrupulously invest in the number of offensives and play behind Liverpool. The cause of the vulnerability.

   For Rogers, the first thing to solve during the 15 minutes of the intermission is the team’s offensive problem. Two goals behind him can only rely on offense to score a goal to regain the score, and even overtake the score.

The defense can only give way to the offense at this time. Even if the team’s defense itself is problematic, Rogers can only still ask the two full-backs to "reassure and boldly" plug in and participate in the offense. , Even without Yang Feng, Rogers can only "rest assured" to let the two central defenders find a way to defend the defense.

   At home, Rogers could not bear the bitterness of defeat, as did the Liverpool players.

   Anfield Stadium, can't just be captured by opponents of Villa's level.

   Liverpool fans also did not give up their support for the team. Anfield is a place that believes in strength and miracle.

  In terms of strength, Liverpool is the Premier League leader this season, with a combination of strikers widely regarded as the best assembled in Europe.

  On luck, this is Anfield. The home team's Liverpool naturally has the luck bonus given by countless seniors.

   At the beginning of the second half, the Liverpool players suddenly found their offensive state.

   Coutinho is in midfield, showing his strong personal dribbling ability.

   flexibly took the ball and moved laterally, attracting all the attention of Villa's midfield defenders.

   In the end, Coutinho easily dialed the ball to Suarez, who had withdrawn to the arc of the penalty area.

   Suarez leaned to the right and took the ball forward, seeming to be looking for a chance to kick the goal.

   Villa’s defensive players in the penalty area can only choose to pounce and block, and dare not let Suarez’s shooters wantonly "fire" in such a dangerous area.

   However, it was another pass that attracted Villa’s defensive players. After mobilizing Villa’s defensive formation, Suarez passed the ball diagonally to the right to find Henderson.

   Henderson did not choose to stop the ball with his back under the guard of the opponent behind him. Instead, he hit the heel directly and kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

   The previous consecutive offensive passes, coupled with Henderson's sudden heel pass, caused Villa's defense to be completely torn apart.

   Sturridge crossed diagonally to the right in the middle of the penalty area, caught up with Henderson's pass, and hit the goal with a low shot.

   Villa goalkeeper Guzan, facing this kick, couldn't fall to the ground in time.

   1 to 2!

   Only 2 minutes into the second half, Liverpool scored the goal, leaving the two teams with only one goal difference.

   This attack is the real offensive level of Liverpool, the best offensive state that Liverpool players did not show in the first half.

   The continuous short-passing cooperation of many offensive players in the front field combines the personal abilities of Liverpool players and the peak goal of the team's offensive players.

   is only one goal away. For Liverpool, there is still plenty of game time.

   Villa, on the other hand, was unwilling and wanted to use the team's offense to continue to attack Liverpool's weak defense.

   The loopholes in Liverpool’s defense are there, and Villa is not a team that can build a solid defense. For Villa, it is also a team that trusts the best defense to be offensive.

   But at halftime, the Liverpool players who were trained by Rogers first showed great enthusiasm in the second half.

  All the players, even Gerrard, who is physically weak, are using active running to provide greater support to the defense.

   Villa’s offense could not find a better offensive method for a while, but instead gave Liverpool a wider counterattack space to use.

   Liverpool, who was already behind, faced Villa without a defensive change. After Villa's offensive, they can always find some space worth taking advantage of.

   In the 58th minute of the game, Villa made a cross from the side and was cleared by Scotter. Gerrard, who took the ball from the penalty area, made an accurate pass and found Suarez who was flying forward on the left.

   Villa central defender, when defending this cross, appeared to top, allowing Suarez, who received the ball in the penalty area, to face the goalkeeper directly.

   In the face of Guzan's attack, Suarez passed the pendulum and shook the goalkeeper. Seeing that he could catch up with the ball, he could hit the empty goal, but Guzan reached out to the back and directly hooked him down.

   Although there was some hesitation about Suarez’s “exaggerated” falling to the ground and whether to “dive”, the referee still gave a zero kick!

   Gerrard was standing in front of the penalty kick, and the broadcast footage showed in time that Gerrard killed Zheng for all the first five penalty kicks this season.

   Facing Guzan defending in front of the goal, Gerrard chose to hit the bottom right corner for the third time.

Guzan guessed the right direction~lightnovelpub.net~ However, Gerrard’s angle was strong enough and his strength was strong enough. Before Guzan’s body was fully stretched, and his arms had not completely sealed the angle, the ball was already Zheng who kicked into the net

   2 to 2, Liverpool’s offensive in the second half quickly achieved results. In less than 15 minutes, both sides returned to the same starting line.

   The room leaked in the night rain. When Kolo Toure was defending, he was bled with an elbow by Benteke. Rogers thought twice and could only let the veteran Carragher go into battle.

   And the defensive sports ability further declines, and there are old players like Gerrard, the active fighting in the early stage has consumed a lot of physical energy.

   At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool’s crazy offensive did not continue forever, but gradually reduced running and began to put more power in the defense.

   In the middle and late stages of the second half, both sides had a certain chance. Suarez's free kick hit the goal directly and flew out with the post.

   And Villa hit the midfielder Delph's pocket shot, but the distance from the goal was only 5 cm.

   Afterwards, both sides did not get a good attack opportunity in the penalty area.

   The score of 2 to 2, has been maintained, and maintained to the end.

   Liverpool’s home court, when the offensive players were not in the best condition, and the defenders were not strong enough, they could only get a draw with a slightly depressed game.

   When will Yang Feng return? It has become the most anticipated thing for Liverpool fans...
