Football’s First Defender
Chapter 731: Competition
A home victory over rival Everton in the same city is a crucial match victory for Liverpool.
After the end of a make-up match, for Liverpool, the most intuitive point change is that the make-up has won, and the points gap with Leicester City has become a fairly intuitive 7 points.
If afterwards, after defeating the powerful Chelsea in the make-up match, then for Liverpool, the score difference is 4 points, and then in the final rounds of the game, the final wave will be launched and the top team will be forced. The psychological pressure of making mistakes in Chester City.
In the second half of the 3-game winning streak in the away win over Bournemouth, the Liverpool team actually had to relax on the court.
Because with the victory locked, Liverpool need to retain the physical fitness of the main players in the game to prepare for the subsequent league make-ups.
Just after the victory over Bournemouth in the middle of the week, Liverpool finally ushered in the first make-up match in a two-round match.
In the 27th round of the supplementary league, Liverpool faced Everton's Merseyside derby at home.
In this make-up match, facing rivals in the same city is also a huge test for Liverpool.
This is why everyone is not optimistic that Liverpool can counterattack to win the championship in the final.
Two rounds less than 10 points behind, in the supplementary match is still 4 points behind, even this supplementary match, it may not be able to win.
We need to know that Liverpool's two match-up opponents, one is Liverpool's city rival Everton, and the other is Chelsea, who has recovered a certain amount of strength.
Although these two make-up matches are at home for Liverpool, it is still very difficult to win the two make-up matches.
Liverpool’s opponents in this game are rivals Everton in the same city. For Everton, at least the strength of the team in every season can guarantee that the final record is worry-free, and the top four Champions League rankings Weakness. As for the UEFA Europa League places, Everton usually blew himself up in the qualifying matches every time even if he got a place. He just didn't want to play such a game that simply consumes the players' physical fitness and does not get much return.
So when the league enters the final rounds of matches, basically, the Everton team, which has no desires, are all under the so-called "early holiday" state.
The performance of the game depends entirely on the individual performance of the players, completely on the players, how much participation they want to contribute to the game.
This is equivalent to the fact that the Everton team no longer has much of a goal. Those who intend to leave in the transfer window should quickly express themselves and increase their exposure. The Everton team is also happy with these players who are ready to leave. , "Sweep out" better offensive data, because in this way, Everton himself can make a lot of money by selling players.
And if the players want to prove their abilities, how can they be convincing in the Merseyside Derby?
Facing the top European teams in the past two years, the UEFA Champions League and Premier League champions double champion Liverpool, can play a wonderful personal performance, then it can also prove the strength of the team, how outstanding.
For the Merseyside derby in this make-up match, Everton has recently devoted himself to studying Liverpool's tactics.
Even in terms of tactical preparations, for Everton, they may have been training repeatedly for nearly a month, aiming at Liverpool's tactics and putting other opponents aside.
Anyway, for Everton, the league's results are now impossible to relegation, and it doesn't matter how it drops afterwards.
So as long as it can successfully block Liverpool at this time, it is enough for Everton, and it is very acceptable, that is, the team has won a great victory.
Preventing Liverpool from catching up in the standings is, for Everton, his biggest goal at this time.
For Liverpool, Klopp continued to use the 442 formation, which was the best in recent games.
Sturridge's offensive ability to maintain a healthy state recently won Klopp's trust.
It's just that the "veteran" Stuart got the trust of Klopp and returned to the starting lineup, but on the other hand, the defending line of Scotter, both games were placed on the bench.
The decline of Skrtel's athletic status made Klopp finally unable to stay on the back line and made substitution adjustments.
Lovren performed quite well in at least these two games in place of Skrtel.
In daily training, Klopp actually found a lot of small problems with Lovren, but with the defensive role Yang Feng provided on the field, as long as Lovren can listen to Yang Feng’s command, then Lovren is actually fighting Yang Feng’s When partnering, the weaknesses were blocked by Yang Feng, and he could play his defensive strengths as much as possible in the game.
At the home court today, Liverpool at Anfield Stadium showed strong offensive suppression from the beginning of the game.
In all subsequent league games, Liverpool will definitely be striving to win. To win, they naturally need to constantly choose to attack.
So the 442 formation is actually used for the team's overall offensive performance.
In the game at home, Liverpool will naturally focus on offense and exert pressure.
Although the Everton team is playing away, this is a Merseyside Derby.
Losers do not lose, although everyone knows that Everton's strength may still be far behind Liverpool.
But on the stage of Merseyside Derby, Everton, at least on the scene, would never admit counsel.
They will show their best attitude towards the game to create trouble for Liverpool.
Liverpool can play a suppressive performance on the offensive end, but Everton will not defend indiscriminately.
Rather, they will also find opportunities to counterattack, and play a threatening counterattack in the game to create trouble for Liverpool.
Although the two sides are not fighting against each other, the rhythm of the game is also very fast, so that the rhythm of the game is accelerated, so that during the game, all have the opportunity to score goals.
When the first half of the game went on to the 12th minute, Liverpool had an excellent opportunity.
When Liverpool gained the advantage of attacking, the team put a lot of players in the frontcourt to maintain its suppression.
Once Everton players made a conversion of the ball, Everton's counterattack was quite resolute.
As many people as there are, just as many people are involved in the counterattack.
Almost all members participate in the counterattack, quickly move forward from the wing, and there are enough mid-range follow-ups so that the team can complete a very good offensive performance.
However, Everton's more investment in the counterattack can make Everton's own counterattack effect very effective.
However, if at this stage, Liverpool will complete the defense and quickly complete the ball ownership conversion.
So for Liverpool, hitting Everton's counterattack is also a good opportunity to change the score on the court.
This time, the counterattack was that Everton was originally fighting Liverpool's counterattack, and all the players pressed on, in the impact Liverpool's defense.
In the end, in accordance with the established counterattack tactics, he made a wing cross.
The ball passed to the center, but Lovren completed a header to make a clearance.
Yang Feng followed and lowered the second landing point, directly kicking the ball to the midfield position with a big foot.
With this ball, Yang Feng's clearance was high and floating.
Lallana was the first to rush forward and rushed directly to the first landing point.
For Everton's guard Stones, there should be no problem with defending this position himself.
Lallana is keeping forward, even though there is a big height gap with Stones, he still has to put enough pressure on Stones.
But Stones had some careful thoughts when facing Yang Feng's clearance ball at this time.
"Instead of heading the ball back nearby and slowly reorganizing the attack. It's better to kick the ball back into the penalty area with your foot during the game."
After all, at this time, most of Everton's players are concentrated in Liverpool's half-court area to start offense.
If the ball can be quickly kicked back to the Liverpool penalty area, then it is very effective for Everton to start offensive on the field.
Do what you want.
On the one hand, Stones found the location of the place, on the other hand, he completed the card position, and only opened Lallana without giving Lallana a chance to interfere with him.
Then, waiting for the ball to fall and fall, Stones wanted a kick and directly volleyed the ball into Liverpool's penalty area, giving his teammates the opportunity to advance again.
However, defenders sometimes have confidence in their own footwork, which can cause many unexpected factors in the handling of the ball.
Stones intended to kick the ball directly into Liverpool's penalty area.
But when it came to the real kick, it was under the interference of Lallana that the foot shape had a certain change.
Stones's power in this ball is still sufficient, but this ball is far from being seen.
A big foot went straight into the sky, but the landing position was still in the midfield area, but from the right side of the center, the landing point became the left side of the center.
In that area, there just aren't too many Everton players.
"not good".
Stones felt that he had made a big mistake at this time.
It is no longer realistic to want to fight for another point, but quickly back off to defend Lallana and defend his defense area.
Although the ball flies high, it also falls quickly.
Coutinho just rushed to the spot where Stones's ball fell, without any adjustment, directly in the game, or volleyed the ball to the front of the pad.
Coutinho's ability to handle the ball is a demonstration of technical players.
The ball was accurately blocked by Coutinho and directly blocked forward.
Lallana, on the other hand, has been moving diagonally, and has been paying attention not to allow himself to be in an offside position when pulling away from Stones.
Unloading the ball, wading the ball, the action is smooth and smooth, without any delay.
In this way, Lallana drove the ball quickly forward, and in the first second of acceleration, he was in a horizontal position and got rid of Stones' return defense.
After that, it was Lallana's 1v1 single-handed time. Facing Everton's goalkeeper, Lallana made a very calm push and directly passed the ball through the Everton goalkeeper's wicket and scored. In the goal.
1 to 0!
Lallana seized this excellent opportunity to counterattack and drove the ball into the goal.
Take the lead in the score.
Although Liverpool achieved a one-goal lead, in the Merseyside Derby, they are still trying their best to play threatening and repressive on the offensive end.
While Liverpool continued in the game, when it launched an offensive.
The Everton team, unwilling to fall behind in the away game, is also constantly seizing every opportunity to strike back.
However, Liverpool's defense line, under Yang Feng's excellent performance and command, has a very good defensive performance in the face of Everton's counterattack.
Everton's counterattack, even though it invested a lot of offensive force, was unable to produce a counterattack that was truly too threatening.
It was like Miralas in a counterattack in the 25th minute of the game.
After receiving a pass from his teammate on the left, he faced a Liverpool defensive player and Klein defended himself.
Miralas speeded up directly on the left, forcibly exerting his personal ability to try to play offensive effects.
In the past, he chose to pass through the bottom many times, but he outflanked the players in the middle and couldn't get rid of Yang Feng or other Liverpool defenders. This time, Miralas chose to complete the attack alone in the game.
Suddenly after reaching the 30-meter area, he completed the emergency stop and changed direction, instead of taking the side road to make a breakthrough, but directly cutting across to the middle road.
With a long shot, he took the ball out of a big corner and aimed directly at the right post of the goal behind.
Stop quickly, Miralas did a very effective crosscut.
But in the handling of the final shot, it can only be said that Miralas's own personal control needs to be further strengthened.
After all, he can only be regarded as an excellent offensive player, but from the top star, Miralas still has a long way to go.
For example, this position ~lightnovelpub.net~ If it is Coutinho, in the final handling of the ball, it must be better, and the goal will be more threatening.
However, although Miralas did not score this goal, the opportunity was created. This is a great reminder for Liverpool’s defense.
For Liverpool, while launching the offensive in the frontcourt, they must also pay more attention to the defense of their backcourt.
When Yang Feng launched the offense, he also shouted loudly to his teammates in the defense to cheer them up, cheer them up, and boost their morale so that they can concentrate.
As Liverpool’s absolute defensive core, in the final rounds of the team’s league, after the Southampton reversal, Yang Feng has become a bit "talkative" in the recent games. Get up and become more willing to speak and shout.
It is to keep the teammates under a good defensive attention all the time to prevent the defensive players from being caught by the opponent because of inattention when their teammates are attacking...
