Football’s First Defender

Chapter 506: 11 consecutive victories

For Manchester City fans, no one thought that Kompany, the team's most reassuring defensive end of the season, would make such a huge mistake at a critical moment.

The score of 3 to 1, the gap between the two goals, the game time is estimated to be only about 10 minutes even if the stoppage time is included. Can Manchester City catch it back?

Coutinho's goal not only undermined the morale of the Manchester City players, but also activated the fighting spirit of Liverpool teammates.

There was a gap between the goals before, and the Liverpool players may still be afraid of them. However, now, with the crazy cheers of the fans on the spot, the Liverpool players have forgotten fatigue and pressure, and are starting to work better on both ends of offense and defense. Go back to your own rhythm.

As the threat of Manchester City’s offensive has become lower, Liverpool has extended the defense line directly to the midfield line, better avoiding the defensive line being compressed by the opponent as before.

In the end, 10 minutes after the game, there was no major accident. Liverpool sat at Anfield Stadium and won the direct dialogue with Manchester City by a score of 3-1.

10 consecutive victories!

With a wave of ten consecutive victories in the league, Liverpool almost confirmed the Premier League title this season.

Even if Manchester City can win the midweek make-up match, the points gap is still 4 points, more than a game gap.

As far as Manchester City is concerned, the next schedule will have to regain a wave of five consecutive victories, not to mention, but also let Liverpool, which has already won ten consecutive victories, at least two overturned four games, two extreme conditions are not so easy to complete.

After the game, the media focused their attention on this strong matchup.

Everyone praised the winning side Liverpool.

First, he praised Liverpool's dominant offensive performance in the first half.

Afterwards, Liverpool's defense in the second half, especially Yang Feng's personal defense, also gave a high evaluation.

The strength of Manchester City's offensive line is also extremely good, otherwise it will not be able to help Manchester City, and can bite the tail of Liverpool's ten-game winning streak.

However, Yang Feng's excellent defensive performance, especially the rescue to the goal line, helped Liverpool firmly maintain the lead.

It laid a good foundation for Coutinho's final goal.

In the midweek make-up match, Manchester City adjusted their mentality and easily defeated West Ham United, and did not completely lose the suspense of the Premier League champion.

With a four-point difference in 4 rounds, Liverpool still need to be careful in the subsequent games.

In the 35th round of the game, Liverpool challenged Norwich away.

"Canary" Norwich, this season has not been easy.

Entered into the late league, still did not ensure that he was relegated.

In the Premier League this season, in the final rounds of matches, each round has multiple focus battles, which can attract the attention of fans.

In the championship game, even if Manchester City lost to the direct dialogue with Liverpool, it was only 4 points, and the game was suspenseful.

And after the relegation zone, it was even more tragic with "fairies fighting".

The penultimate Sunderland scored 29 points, while Norwich, the fourth penultimate, scored only 32 points, which is just a game.

Five teams are struggling near the relegation zone this season, and even one more point may make the team stay in the Premier League.

For Norwich, this home court, even in the face of Liverpool in good form, but also to find a way to win the game.

Norwich could not bear the loss of relegation.

Although Sturridge's leg muscles were uncomfortable before the game, the 3s combination could not appear at the same time.

After Henderson's last game against Manchester City, there were some minor injuries that could not play.

But for Rogers, this does not stop him from the idea of ​​strengthening the team's offense.

In this game, Liverpool's 451 formation.

Suarez is a single forward, while the left and right wingers are Coutinho and Sterling.

In the midfield, Lucas, Jay, and Joe Allen started.

The backcourt continued the recent starting combination, Flanagan has grown rapidly and has now firmly established a starting position.

And with the increase in self-confidence, Flanagan has shown great potential in the positions of the left and right full-backs.

In every game, guessing which wing Glen Johnson and Flanagan will play in every game has also become a bad taste for some Liverpool fans...

Norwich, who is in desperate need of points, did not put out a bus at his home court, but still wanted to play a certain offensive threat.

It's just that the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.

Norwich’s obviously British-style offensive line, it is not so easy to break through Liverpool’s defense. Yang Feng is not a vegetarian. Facing Norwich’s tall but rather clumsy forward, Yang Feng has his own set. The defensive experience.

Norwich's offensive did not work, but Liverpool, the offensive achieved results.

In view of the disadvantages of the home team's midfielder and taller body, Liverpool midfielder players use more position shifts and more off-the-ball runs to continuously show their technical ability and have a huge advantage in speed and flexibility.

In the 4th minute of the game, Sterling switched to the mid lane and received a return pass from Coutinho's unsuccessful left-handed breakthrough. In mid lane Sterling's small step in place, he suddenly started to speed and deducted the back of the home team. Waist player.

After that, Sterling dribbled the ball horizontally and opened the shooting angle. Norwich's central defender had already ran out to complete the block, but Sterling still hit the goal faster.

A volley from outside the penalty area hit an opposite corner and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal. Norwich's goalkeeper's flying save was helpless.

1 to 0, Sterling opened the record for the team.

This Liverpool player ~lightnovelpub.net~ used his rapid growth and returned the unconditional trust of the manager.

And this is not the end. After 6 minutes, Norwich's offense has not been effective.

Yang Feng from the backcourt made a long pass and found the huge gap left behind after Norwich's right guard on the left inserted the assist.

Sterling accelerated to the left.

Although he reached the level of the penalty zone line, Norwich’s remaining central defender had already arrived at the defensive position. In addition, the two other home team players who quickly returned to the defense did not form an advantage in number.

However, Sterling was on the left side of the aura, while moving fast, he used the outer instep of his right foot to make an imaginative pass.

The tacit understanding developed in the usual private training, Suarez, after Sterling passed the ball, directly changed to the diagonal and stopped the ball in the penalty area in one go.

After getting rid of the defensive player, facing the goalkeeper halfway through the attack, he calmly pushed with his right foot.

The football passes through the goalkeeper's "little gate" and flies directly into the gate behind the goalkeeper.

2 to 0! Only 10 minutes into the game, Sterling passed and shot, helping Liverpool expand the score to two goals.

The game after that was a bit boring.

Liverpool, who took the lead, began to show their absolute control over the ball. The home team Norwich wanted to hurry up and recover the impatience of losing the ball, which was used by Liverpool.

Liverpool, who had a very targeted counterattack, relied on Sterling's counterattack speed before the end of the half-time and went straight to Huanglong to expand the score to 3-0.

Although Norwich used the negligence of Liverpool's midfield defense to score in the second half, for Liverpool, it was innocent. The team won 11 consecutive victories with ease, and it was only three rounds away from the championship.
