Football’s First Defender
Chapter 531: Competitive Liverpool
Sterling is no longer limited to the position of the right wing this season, and has begun to move from the side to the middle of Tottenham's Bell. He can make a fuss in the open space of any opponent according to the open space on the field.
This offensive change had already begun to take shape during the previous match against Manchester City. However, due to the strong defensive ability of Manchester City’s midfielder Fernando, and the pressure on Liverpool from Manchester City was too great, Sterling didn’t let Sterling play in the game. The offensive characteristics are fully utilized.
Today, facing Tottenham, which is one level behind the top giants, Sterling has more room to play, allowing him to form the greatest investment on the offensive end.
This goal is a solid step for Sterling to become a more successful player. As a young offensive player who has made great progress, Sterling's own heart is not as good as Bell. After Suarez left, he became The team's new offensive "thigh" ambition. Hey, one paragraph is missing! Like it, please collect it: () Zhaishuyuan has the fastest update speed.
Sitting on the White Hart Lane, Pochettino doesn't want the team to just grab it.
Constantly carry out tactical "micro-management" on the sidelines, in order to change the stagnation of Tottenham's offense. Damn, another paragraph is missing! Zhaishuyuan, the fastest update of the latest chapters!
Previously, the first round of the Europa League play-offs went to the distant Kazakhstan and played a 1-1 draw. In the middle of the week, Tottenham had to be on the safe side and sent all the main players to play in the Europa League. 0 big win, less player consumption in the second half.
But at the beginning of the new season, after two consecutive weeks of double matches, the physical fitness of the Tottenham players turned out to be a huge problem in this strong matchup.
There is no way. Although Tottenham relied on Bell's excellent performance and the team's competitive league record year after year, it became one of the top six Premier League giants.
But in terms of influence and ability to attract gold, Tottenham is definitely the bottom of the six giants. Day, I couldn’t watch it and I missed it! Remember for a second, Zhai Shuyuan ().
I don't want to lose the bonus, and the chance to get the honor of the European war.
After all, the strength of the Premier League team is there. Tottenham believes that they are sufficiently competitive in the Europa League.
But all the feedback to today's league is the poor state of the Tottenham team.
For Liverpool, in order to give full play to their striker's ability to counterattack, they have already begun to take the initiative to give up the team's possession of the ball, giving the initiative of offense to Tottenham, while Liverpool is the main defensive counterattack.
In the real-time ball possession rate given by the broadcast of the game, after playing for nearly half an hour, Tottenham's ball possession rate has exceeded 60%, but the number of shots is only 2 feet, and they are all long shots.
In contrast, Liverpool, although the possession rate is less than 40%, but the team's several counterattacks are extremely threatening.
Not only did Sterling play their speed advantage, but when Palshen and Sturridge were fighting back, they also had a full understanding, which could knock Tottenham’s defenses into pieces.
Especially Balotelli, this game is his debut in Liverpool.
The genius boy in the Manchester City period, after nearly two years of unsatisfactory, wanted to prove himself in the Premier League again.
Only in the first half, Balotelli missed the goal.
When the game was approaching 40 minutes, Yang Feng sent a precise long pass from the backcourt.
Sterling was at the forefront of Liverpool's counterattack, leaving Tottenham defenders at the fastest speed.
Yang Feng's long pass is very well controlled, and it just falls in a position not far from the penalty area. It is both threatening and not easy to be hit by the goalkeeper. If Sterling gets the ball, there will be enough space. , Make adjustments.
Although Sterling was dragged by Vertonghen and affected a certain speed, his speed still rose, and when he caught the ball, he finally got rid of it.
However, Tottenham goalkeeper Lori's attack was very decisive this time. Without any hesitation, he sprinted out of the penalty area with all his strength and completed the destruction of the ball with a sliding tackle.
However, during the "foot-to-foot" with Sterling, the route of the ball's clearance changed. The ball did not fly far and fell directly at the foot of Bashen who followed up.
Facing the empty goal, Bashen directly lobbed. Lori could only fall to the ground and watch Bashen hit the goal and fly towards the goal.
Time is also fate.
At the moment when Bashen chose to hit the goal, the choice was to increase the control of the ball. A kick is not a fast lob to ensure that the ball can safely hit the empty goal.
However, the speed of the ball is not fast, but it gives other defenders a chance to chase.
Dale returned to the defense at full speed, before the ball flew into the goal, the side jumped to clear the siege, once again rejected Balotelli's threatening shot.
The first half ended with a score of 0 to 1, Liverpool led the away game.
Pochettino's offensive adjustments at halftime have not yet taken effect. Liverpool on the other side already scored in the second half in a blitzkrieg.
Moreno showed off his delicate feet skills as a Spaniard.
In a wing attack at the beginning of the second half, he didn't choose to cross, but made a direct breakthrough.
The flexible Moreno made Dell, who was very clumsy compared to it, made a big mistake.
When Dell was getting rid of Moreno's direction, he accidentally pulled ~lightnovelpub.net~ but forgot that he was not on the side at this time, and Moreno fell directly into the restricted area.
Gerrard's penalty kick was as stable as ever.
Even if Lori guessed the direction, facing Gerrard's strong volley, there was no way.
2 to 0, at the beginning of the second half, Liverpool further expanded its lead.
Being two goals behind is a huge psychological blow to Tottenham players, and this sense of loss, with the subsequent long-term attack, but can not create even a dangerous attack opportunity, and becomes even greater.
The suspense of the game seems to be getting smaller and smaller under the stagnant attack of Tottenham.
And Henderson completely let the result of the game be finalized.
Tottenham made a pass in Liverpool's half and was suddenly grabbed by Henderson to complete the steal.
Henderson ran on his own long distance directly along the left.
Thanks to Liverpool's frontcourt Trident, Sturridge, Balotelli and Sterling's full-speed impact, all the Tottenham players who were already stretched by the backcourt defenders were attracted to the central area.
There is not even a Tottenham player in the backcourt who can come to defend Henderson's breakthrough.
Henderson ran for 60 meters long distance. When he completed the inside cut in the process of full speed, it was too late for the Tottenham players to defend.
Although Tottenham’s defensive rescue was concentrated in the middle of the penalty area, which had a blocking effect and the shooting angle was not large, Henderson volleyed with his left foot and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Lori and Tottenham's central defender, just let out a slight angle, but was still caught by Henderson.
3 to 0!
A wonderful solo performance by Henderson.
This is the strength of Liverpool. In the face of one of the strongest Tottenham, Liverpool used the team's sharp counterattack to prove that it is still one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League...
