Football’s First Defender

Chapter 671: It's time for Benteke to play again

   The result of the first half of the game was 0-0. It can be said that Schmeichel, the goalkeeper of the visiting team, helped the team to keep the tie.

   Liverpool had a lot of offensive opportunities in the first half, but they just couldn't break through the gates of Leicester City.

   During the intermission, Klopp couldn't do much layout.

   There is no big problem with the team's playing style, and it has created a lot of opportunities. The only thing that is bad is that a little luck.

   Klopp wants to see how long the Iron Barrel Array in Leicester City can hold.

   Whether Schmeichel can really catch all Liverpool's goals in 90 minutes.

   At the beginning of the second half of the game, Liverpool’s attack continued in the game, maintaining the same suppressive power as the first half.

   In the face of the visiting team's defense, Liverpool still continued to implement their offensive tactics.

   Coutinho’s attack on the left side continued the attacking posture in the first half, and was still the most threatening direction of Liverpool’s offensive on the field.

   In the 51st minute of the game, Coutinho once again created murder on the left.

   made a short cross pass from the side and passed the ball directly to the foot of Firmino who was inserted into the left side of the penalty area to catch the ball.

   Under the defensive pressure of the opponent, Firmino judged that he had no offensive space in the penalty area, so he could only choose to take the ball immediately and knock the ball back.

   After Coutinho passed the ball, he changed direction and moved horizontally. Without the ball, he got rid of his defender.

   directly controlled Firmino's pass again, and immediately had room for a direct long shot.

   Before the visiting team's defensive back-up was completed, Coutinho directly completed a kick and just opened the first half, nearly the same angle.

   It was another half-high ball and shot to the far corner.

   It’s just this time, it’s like shooting like a pass.

   When the ball was not fast, Coutinho’s teammates “blocked” Coutinho’s shot first.

Sturridge, who moved forward from the back point, completely regarded the ball as a "pass", and when Schmeichel was about to reach the defensive position, Coutinho planned to play this kick. As for the door, then the threat is not big.

   So, Sturridge was directly at the back point, flying forward, and with his extended leg, he barely reached Coutinho's "pass".

  The aerial shot was completed, forcibly changed the course of the ball.

   It's just that Schmeichel's reaction was too fast.

   Facing the changing direction of the goal, he quickly completed the reaction, jumped out in the opposite direction, and succeeded in a single palm on the goal line, blocking Sturridge's wonderful slap shot this time, and once again made Liverpool useless.

   Liverpool’s offense has been stifled again and again.

   also made Klopp on the sidelines become anxious.

   As time goes by, when the score is still 0 to 0, for Liverpool, in order to break the deadlock, it is natural that more offensive forces are needed.

   And Leicester City, after withstanding the defensive pressure, also began to have the opportunity to counterattack, began to create threats.

   The biggest threat is of course Mahrez.

   Liverpool’s midfielder on-the-spot press is very effective, but there is no guarantee of success every time.

   The occasional frontcourt press is unsuccessful, and Leicester City can still make a threatening quick counterattack.

   Especially Mahrez.

   In the 59th minute of the game, Leicester City got an excellent frontcourt counterattack opportunity.

   Mahrez quickly completed the task of advancing in the counterattack, and then before the arrival of Liverpool's defense, he passed the ball back to Kanter who followed his own counterattack in the rear.

   while Mahrez continued to advance without the ball.

   Yang Feng wanted to take care of Mahrez’s defense, but he could only deal with Vardy wholeheartedly.

   But they are constantly shouting loudly to his teammates to do a good job of marking Mahrez.

   Then Kanter made a straight pass and still looked for Mahrez in the crowd.

   Mahrez received the football, and three Liverpool red defenders surrounded him in an instant.

   As a result, something magical happened.

In a small space, Mahrez showed his superb ability to control the team under his feet, constantly using fancy ball control methods, flashing and moving in a small space, passing two people in a row, in Scott Under the confrontation that Er rushed to impose, Mahrez, who was out of balance, still completed a volley.

   is Mignolet’s performance of his own "Mi God" today, successfully played on the goal line, blocked this shot, and did not make Liverpool's bitter attack without results, and then caught fire in the backyard.

   In the case of the team's delayed offense, Klopp replaced Benteke in the 65th minute and Sturridge was replaced.

The Liverpool team is now familiar with Benteke’s role on the field. Benteke played more like an insurance role in the game~lightnovelpub.net~ In Liverpool’s regular attacking method, Benteke K has to adapt to Liverpool's fast attack and pass-cutting style. Generally speaking, at this time, Benteke is not involved in passing the ball, try to find a position where he can hit the goal, and be ready to respond to his teammates at any time.

   While the regular attack sometimes cannot go on, and when more offensive "tricks" are needed at the beginning, when Liverpool has Benteke, they can safely and boldly make some attempts to cross from the side.

   Come to complete the team's offense as easily as possible, pass the ball directly into the opponent's penalty area, and let Benteke complete the championship.

   In the 67th minute of the game, Benteke, who had just come on the field, formed an extremely dangerous shot on his first touch.

  Liverpool first interspersed in the middle and passed.

  Lallana, Firmino, and Coutinho's positive performance on the offensive end concentrated the defense of the entire Leicester City in the central area.

   And Lallana, who finally received the ball, went straight through the visiting team's defensive crowd and sent a through ball to the right.

   Klein rushed in to ensure the smoothness of Liverpool's attacking corridor on the right.

Normally, Klein may still be waiting for his teammates in the middle to take over, but this time, with the high center forward Bentek in the frontcourt, Klein dared to pass the ball for the first time without stopping the ball. The ball was passed directly to the goal.

Benteke leaped high, and his first touch after coming off the bench was a header after he crushed Hut. It was perfectly controlled and hit within the range of the goal frame. It was just that he was shot again. Schmeichel refused...
