Football’s First Defender

Chapter 629: Familiar rhythm of the game

   Klopp’s fast-established "new army", the first opponent in the league, is the mid-lower team Norwich, it can be regarded as a good start to the new official Liverpool on the schedule.

   Norwich, as the third place in the British Championship last season, was promoted to the Premier League by winning the final "billion pound war" after two rounds of play-offs.

  The tough schedule suffered in the British Championship makes Norwich very cherish this Premier League spot.

   With the goal of relegation this season, Norwich, who cherishes every point, encountered Liverpool, which was in a very poor state of the game recently, and naturally came to Anfield with the intention of at least retreating away from home.

It’s just that Norwich, who wanted to steal a wave of points while Liverpool’s morale was low, had not only lost the opportunity to take advantage of Liverpool’s chaos to easily score points after Liverpool quickly completed the coaching change, but also may be Liverpool. The new coach completes the "flag sacrifice".

   This also made Norwich’s preparations for this game, from the very beginning, planning to attack, taking advantage of Liverpool’s illness to kill Liverpool, turned into a defensive-oriented strategy to wait for the opportunity.

   It’s just that Norwich, who was very careful in the away game, has not escaped his doomed fate.

   After Klopp's arrival, the integration of the team for the first time has allowed many Liverpool players to regain their fighting spirit.

   Anfield Stadium, even though the team's recent record is not good, but every game is still full.

For the fans, they will severely criticize the team off the court and yell at the coaches and players for being inattentive to the game, but on the match day, they will dedicate all their passion and enthusiasm to cheering for the team. Cheer up.

   In order to deal with Liverpool's 433 attack formation, Norwich chose the 451 defensive counterattack formation.

   After Liverpool quickly completed the coaching change, Norwich did not want to be too positive in the opening game. After all, this is Liverpool's horrible home game. In the past two seasons, countless teams have lost ground here.

   They plan to defend for a while, look at the state of the Liverpool team, and then determine their tactical strategy.

   The state of the game recently, especially on the offensive end, is quite bad for Liverpool. From the beginning of the game, it has shown a completely different offensive style from the entire season.

  The offensive rhythm has become faster, and the use of the two wings is more reasonable.

And after lacking the "drag" of Benteke in the middle, although Firmino does not have much advantage in the ability to compete in the middle, he still uses his own running and various interspersed. A lot of opportunities can be created.

   Many Liverpool fans watched the tactical performance of the Liverpool players on the field, and their eyes were bright.

   This is finally the shadow of Liverpool that was invincible last season.

  Although Liverpool’s offensive tacit degree is obviously insufficient, the fast-paced offense cannot guarantee the success rate every time.

   However, Liverpool, which controls absolute possession of the ball, has enough offensive opportunities to "spend", use numbers to make up for errors and still create a considerable number of threats.

   And for his pass errors, there is a threat of counterattack.

When Benteke was not on the court, under Klopp's various "coercion and temptations", the players on the field who restored their sense of competition and focus on the game played the high-position pressure and defense effect Klopp wanted. .

  Using outstanding frontcourt press and tireless running, he can always grab the ball quickly, complete a counterattack on the spot, or reorganize the attack.

Of course, when they are pressing on defense, Liverpool, which is temporarily "in the army", will definitely still have various unacceptable situations, but the strength of the Norwich players is limited, and the traditional rough style makes them not outstanding. The player who played against Liverpool led to the crazy press, and there was no good chance to counterattack.

   As for Norwich's rough backcourt long pass, it is just to brush up his defensive data for Yang Feng in Liverpool's defense.

   In the face of Norwich’s backcourt high pass, Yang Feng had a rare game, and he could easily and happily make his defensive stats soar.

   In the 28th minute of the game, Liverpool's continuous offensive in the first half finally yielded results.

  Novic paid the price for their rough counter-attack "clearing".

   Under the tight defense of Liverpool's frontcourt players, a random pass to Liverpool's frontcourt was directly "cleared" to the foot of Yang Feng near the midfield area.

   In the face of Norwich's line of defense on the penalty zone line, Yang Feng watched the timing and made a long long pass and went straight to the deep left.

   The tall Norwich right-back Steven, the speed of chasing is obviously not enough, Yang Feng's pass rebounds and continues to fly forward.

   And Moreno, who inserted the attack on the left, was obviously familiar with Yang Feng's long-pass guidance ability, and he had already moved forward quickly.

   used his own speed to overtake from the outside, forcibly ran diagonally at the speed to the second place in front of Steven and received the ball.

   As the half-high ball formed after the rebound of the ball is almost out of the bottom line, Steven chose to slow down and stay on the bottom line to deal with the next defense.

   As long as Moreno barely stops the ball, Steven is ready to use his tall body to grab the football directly with his body.

   However, after watching Steven slow down ~lightnovelpub.net~ due to his inertia is still in a forward imbalance, Moreno has given full play to his shortness and high flexibility.

Instead of stopping the ball, he stretched out the ball that was about to go out of bounds and hooked it back directly. Then he changed direction and accelerated, taking advantage of Steven's unstable center of gravity and unable to form the first time defense, and slammed to No. Vicki's penalty area.

   stopped and led in an instant, past Steven, and Moreno created murder on the side.

   At this time, the visiting team center back Basong had to come over to make up the defense immediately, trying to limit Moreno's shot or pass.

   However, the defensive line moved the whole body by pulling a start.

   Steven's defensive failure and Bassoon's supplementary defense formed an instant series of Norwich defensive reactions.

   And Moreno stepped into the opponent's penalty area, Bassoon grabbed the last moment, an inverted triangle pass, the ball passed to the right of the penalty spot.

   Milner, who had been conscientiously doing defensive tasks before, suddenly chose to move forward quickly during this attack, which increased the number of offensive players in Liverpool's front court.

   And Moreno, who broke through from the center into the penalty area, also noticed the insertion of teammate Milner.

   With a moderately powerful pass, Milner, who followed up in the middle, kept the ball and pushed with one kick without defense.

   The ball whizzed out, and Norwich's goal was too late to react. The ball had flown into the goal from the upper left corner of the goal.

   "GOAL!!!"

   "Liverpool scored a goal!"

   "New aid Milner! Scored his first goal for Liverpool!"

   "Liverpool took the lead..."
