Chapter 550: Sweet new year schedule

After Christmas, Liverpool's intensive schedule came to the top.

Burnley on the 26th, Swansea on the 30th, and less than 48 hours after the rest, Liverpool will have to face Leicester City at home.

Many people are worried about this dense schedule for Liverpool.

Because, Liverpool's current style of play is extremely energy-intensive. It was because of physical exhaustion and the maintenance of the frontcourt that Liverpool regained the rhythm of the game.

But this Wednesday's Premier League game will be a huge test of the physical fitness of Liverpool players.

In the league just now, Liverpool, which has gained momentum, will it fall into the world in the most upset Christmas schedule in the Premier League? The soldiers of Liverpool used their own methods to solve their physical problems.

This year’s Christmas, for all Liverpool soldiers, is the same as last year, without feasting.

Even if there are many new aids, for a team that is on the rise, the players have considerable restraint and give priority to completing the pursuit of honor.

The players were full of energy to face their first opponent, Burnley.

The penultimate Burnley, desperately needs points, wants to upset at home and delay Liverpool's victory. However, it turns out that Liverpool, in excellent form, is directly crushed by hard power.

Continuing the crazy lineup of the starting 343 against Arsenal in the last game, Rogers has no idea of ​​rotation, just to keep winning.

When everyone was worried about the players' physical problems, at half-time, Liverpool gave everyone peace of mind.

The halftime score was 3 to 0!

Liverpool played a fairly open half-time game without any idea of ​​staying power. They usually played whatever they should. The offensive end was suppressed, the frontcourt was pressed after losing the ball, and the back line played smoothly.

Ultimately it is a manifestation of hard power.

Balotelli scored twice in a row, and this time it was another good buddy Coutinho who usually worked with him.

Lallana, and Henderson's goal, helped Liverpool almost seal the victory in the half.

In the second half of the game, the ratings dropped sharply, even on domestic broadcast platforms.

Not only because of the fact that the victory has been set, but also because of Liverpool's kicking "too stinky".

Henderson, Lallana and Lucas were replaced one after another. Rogers replaced Gerrard and Joe Allen early, and then replaced the orthodox full-back Enrique, and began his own "passing control". .

Passing is entirely for the purpose of passing control, that is, falling back and forth in the backcourt. In FIFA games, points may have been deducted for a long time. On the field, Burnley players have risen deeply. Powerlessness.

The Burnley player, who fell behind by three goals, was already low-spirited. After being "walked the dog" for a period of time, he began to give up.

After all, physical fitness is in the New Year's schedule, but it is a good thing. Since you can't get points from Liverpool, naturally you have to save your physical fitness and leave it to the next opponent.

Liverpool ended the game at half time and did not consume much physical energy.

In the same way, Liverpool beat Swansea 4-1 at home.

Scored 4 goals in the half, fully witnessing Liverpool's strong offensive firepower, and after the frontcourt press, Liverpool has created more threat opportunities.

It's just that Swansea was more resilient in the second half. With Liverpool focusing on conservative physical fitness, relying on fierce fighting, it disrupted Liverpool's backcourt pass, and launched multiple threatening attacks and counterattacks.

However, with Yang Feng's excellent defensive play, and Mignole's high resistance in front of the goal.

Swansea only scored a goal in the end and had no chance to stage a shocking turnaround.

After playing two games into one, Liverpool saved a lot of physical energy by using his crazy "abusive" ability.

Although Liverpool players feel very tired, they still have the power to face their first opponent after the New Year, an away game against Leicester at Anfield.

Foxtown suffered an extremely difficult schedule in December.

In a wave of five-game losing streak, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, and three giant teams.

Although just last game, defeated West Ham United and ended the losing streak, but the first game of the new year, after a month, it was a second fight with Liverpool.

For Leicester City, which is still ranked first from the bottom, with a three-point gap from the relegation zone, it takes a miracle to take away points from Liverpool.

Today, a miracle almost happened...

The New Year’s schedule is a period of high turnover for the big teams. Even if Liverpool’s two games are half-time, it has to be said that playing three games a week with a set of lineups is still a bit aggressive.

But there is no way, Liverpool's current injuries, and not many people can rotate while ensuring the strength of the team.

For Leicester City, instead, they just let go. The players had a hard-working attitude, but they were able to let go of their hands and feet and have good results.

Even if they lost the game against Liverpool less than a month ago, the Fox City players still played quite aggressively in this away game.

At the beginning of the game, the visiting team players went so far as to start a midfield battle with Liverpool.

After the consecutive games, everyone's physical fitness is somewhat at the end of the day, and for the youth-based teams, the two teams compete for willpower.

One wanted to keep the title in suspense, and the other was to stay in the Premier League. The two sides fought fiercely in this game.

The two teams with physical problems have undoubtedly reduced Liverpool's superiority in technical ability, making the difference in strength between the two teams not as big as the lineup difference.

In the game, Liverpool has enough threats to attack, but the visiting team can also create opportunities for goal.

The defense led by Yang Feng can still perform well ~lightnovelpub.net~ but can't hold up the midfielder. After the forward attack, the space left in the backcourt is too great.

The first goal of the game belongs to Vardy.

In a counterattack, a volley in the process of a forcible breakthrough hit the goal, so that Skrtel, who was responsible for defending him, became the background board.

And Liverpool are also behind at home.

The subsequent development of the game was more like a melee and chaotic battle. For a time, the visiting team had a greater advantage on the field.

Liverpool's offense, lacking sufficient physical support, has also begun to evolve into a simpler offense, and thus loses the offensive weapon that Liverpool relies on.

Without complicated offenses and playing the "British" style of play, Liverpool naturally can't match the "British" opponents.

Liverpool, which had no offensive effect for a short time, has forced Rogers to have to make substitutions.

However, the fact that no one can change is also an embarrassment for Rogers.

Fortunately, the Liverpool players on the field changed the game.

It's not that they have the physical ability to carry out more complicated passes and cuts, but Liverpool has found someone more suitable for the rhythm of the "British" game.

Yang Feng, after a set kick, pulled the onions in the dry land and beat Morgan to complete the header and score, helping Liverpool equalize the score before the end of the first half.

In the second half of the game, Yang Feng continued his wonderful performance.

Today's Yang Feng is a "siege hammer" for Liverpool, giving full play to his advantage in headers. In the 74th minute of the game, when both sides had no physical strength to launch a fierce attack, it was precisely relying on Yang Feng's header from the penalty area to help Liverpool overtake the score.

In the end, Liverpool defeated the visiting Leicester City 2-1 with a slight difficulty, and all won in the difficult New Year schedule.
