Football’s First Defender
Chapter 511: Zero to zero
During the intermission, Rogers made detailed offensive tactics for the team, and also deliberately carried out some psychological construction for many players.
Don't worry about consoling the players. They have a greater advantage in the standings, and the players don't have to put too much pressure on this game.
Rogers gave affirmation to Yang Feng's performance in the first half for the team's initiative to press on the back line left by the offense, and said nothing more.
Isn't this the rhythm of Liverpool's game this season? Under the broadcast division system of Premier League teams, each team has a certain strength and has the possibility of breaking out. Liverpool's offensive football will naturally have enough space to counterattack for its opponents to perform.
And one does not have enough personnel reserves, and the second is that Liverpool, which is not too expensive for the whole team, has come to occupy the absolute initiative in the championship. It is not the offensive firepower of the forwards that dominate Europe and the backcourt Yang Feng. Can the leading defense make a great defensive contribution with limited defensive power?
Before the end of the first half, when the Jie team slipped and fell, Rogers' heart was completely cold.
As a head coach, he knows how far behind Gerrard's ball is when he is arranging tactics for the players. He also knows that losing the ball in that position will give the opponent forward a wide space, allowing him to accelerate, adjust, and then face up. Goalkeeper.
However, Yang Feng, who shouldn't be in that position, appeared in time, but Liverpool did not lose the score. This is the most important thing.
Liverpool face Chelsea, even if a Chelsea dominated by substitutes, in front of Chelsea's iron-blooded defense, it must not let Chelsea lead away.
That would cause a complete tilt in morale.
In the second half of the game, Liverpool, who had made some preparations in the midfield, went directly to attack.
Chelsea's defense is still close, but the Liverpool players, after halftime, and Rogers' special arrangement, began to have considerable gains on the offensive end.
Especially with regard to the use of set-pieces, the professional set-piece coaches hired by Liverpool accurately pointed out the weaknesses of Chelsea’s position-kick defenses in the first half.
He also explained to the players some tactics that can confuse the move when setting the kick to guide the Liverpool players and use the opportunity of the set kick to create threats in the second half.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool's corner kick created a great threat.
Coutinho's corner kick was issued, and Gerrard and Scott made a sudden start, which attracted the Chelsea regional defensive force to follow.
But Coutinho's pass rotated a larger arc in the air and fell slightly back in the middle.
Yang Feng and Ivanovic's 1v1.
Due to the early start of the teammates, it instantly attracted the attention of Chelsea's regional defensive players, creating opportunities for Yang Feng and Ivanovic to face off.
Ivanovic’s height and weight are indeed similar to those of a central defender, but Ivan, who is a full-back, will still suffer from physical confrontation and direct confrontation with Yang Feng.
Even though Ivan had a small gesture of pulling people, he still couldn't stop Yang Feng from taking off.
With a force of ten guilds, Yang Feng directly took off, broke through Ivan's defense, and then directly shook his head to attack the goal.
"Yang Feng has become stronger again!"
Ivan, who has been a teammate of Yang Feng, knows how hard Yang Feng usually trains.
Yang Feng's time at Chelsea is the fastest time for him to grow up. He has received Chelsea's most advanced training concepts and received fruitful personal training from Chelsea's rich coaching reserve.
And now, even after leaving Chelsea, Ivan knows from this matchup that Yang Feng's progress is still continuing.
The collision when Yang Feng took off made Ivan feel as if a car had driven himself up and lost his position.
And Yang Feng shook his head in the air after taking off.
A bouncing rebound ball was ejected and flew towards the goal.
This kind of bombing is the most difficult for the goalkeeper to defend. However, fortunately, Chelsea have more defensive players in the penalty area.
Without using the goalkeeper's save, Ashley Cole, who was standing at the goal post, took the lead in reacting. Although he kicked a kick, he still cleared the ball that was about to fly into the goal.
The ball that was kicked by Ashley Cole at a critical moment, flew directly to the penalty area line.
Coutinho, who came out of the corner kick, faced the ball and continued to send a diagonal pass at 45 degrees.
Yang Feng, who was still in the restricted area, hit the door with a volley.
It was an opportunity for a central defender to make such a complicated and difficult shot, but Yang Feng's control ability was still slightly weaker and the ball was kicked directly.
Liverpool's opening offensive was not effective.
Thanks to the contributions of Liverpool tactical analysts, Liverpool began to attack in the second half offensively. The two wingers no longer rushed to the bottom line to complete the pass in one mind, but instead put the ball in the attack and try to keep it as possible. At the level of Chelsea's penalty area line, Liverpool players then used their flexibility to expand the Chelsea defense.
Including Suarez's retracement, and early Gerrard or Joe Allen, can effectively give the wide teammates more passing options.
As a striker, Suarez was restricted by his opponents in the first half and it was not easy to retrace the ball.
But now that other teammates are constantly interspersed with running, but Suarez's own catch is not as difficult as the first half when his teammates help running to share the defensive pressure.
Suarez, who retreated, received a passing opportunity created by Sterling on the right side of the acceleration, a sudden stop.
Before Ivan's defense was in place, Suarez swiped the ball and volleyed from a long distance.
It's just a pity that the ball flew out of the baseline against the crossbar and didn't hit the goal.
5 minutes later, Gerrard also faced the Chelsea player's clearance header, outside the penalty area, volleyed and hit the goal.
But Schwarzer, who was reacted by God, fell directly to the ground and threw the ball out of the goal.
Liverpool have been on the offensive wave after wave, but they just couldn't pry open the door of Chelsea.
Rogers has no one to replace. The winger Moses who is usually sent ~lightnovelpub.net~ is also unable to play due to the loan avoidance clause. In order to strengthen the offense, he can only send Aspas, who has not played for a long time, to play.
However, Chelsea's abundant staff reserves can give Mourinho enough substitution options.
Although most of the starting players did not make the list, there are still players like William and Cahill who are willing to run physically on the bench, which can continue to inject vitality into Chelsea's defense.
Liverpool's offensive has continued, but Chelsea's defense on the court is equally brilliant.
The spear and shield duel continued until the end of the game.
With the 91st minute of the game, Suarez shot from outside the penalty area and was once again resolved by the magical Schwarzer side throw. Liverpool missed the last threatening shot.
0 to 0!
Chelsea used a lineup dominated by substitute players, but retired at Anfield Stadium.
Mourinho once again showed the world his extraordinary ability to train defense.
And Liverpool, after Manchester City had already won earlier, only 2 points are left, and the championship situation is still optimistic, but it is also full of the biggest variables...
