Football’s First Defender
Chapter 735: The key red and blue war
Relying on his strength, he won a big victory against Swansea in the away scene, which originally made the Liverpool players quite happy.
But then, I saw the rivals Manchester United and Leicester City at Old Trafford, playing a "meal" game.
Manchester United, who wanted nothing, was really at home, losing to the contending and convincing Leicester City team, making another victory for Liverpool in vain.
This game is a question of the benevolent sees benevolence, and the wise sees wisdom.
You can say that Manchester United has been playing **** this season. Not only did they fail to beat an emerging team like Leicester City, but it was even difficult to defend a draw at home.
You can also explain that this game is a so-called tacit ball. Manchester United is playing at home. In order to prevent Liverpool from having a chance to win three consecutive championships, it is to give the current leader Leicester City three points to support Liverpool. The opponent is the back leg of Liverpool.
For Liverpool, not only can I not lose any points, but I have to expect that Leicester City will make a mistake in the next two league rounds.
If Leicester City wins against Everton and Chelsea in the last two rounds, then Liverpool will continue to win streak afterwards and will not be able to overtake the score.
For the Liverpool team, the most worried thing is that the opponents after Leicester City will continue to release the water like Manchester United today, so that Leicester City have a chance to compete for the championship.
You know, Manchester United lost at their home games, so for Leicester City’s penultimate opponent, Liverpool’s city rival Everton, it should be more reasonable to lose the game on the away game. .
Manchester United have shamelessly lost at home, so a team like Everton, it must be nothing to lose.
It may be Chelsea, the opponent of Leicester City's final match, that may really block Leicester City.
It is hard to imagine that in the final moments of the league, the outcome of the game that may determine the outcome of the championship will all be determined by Chelsea.
Liverpool played against Chelsea in a make-up match. At this time, it was no longer for Liverpool to lose points.
A home victory over rival Everton in the same city is a crucial match victory for Liverpool, who wants to stage a miraculous comeback in the final moments of the league.
After this make-up, the most intuitive point change for Liverpool was the victory in the make-up, which made the difference between them and Leicester City 7 points.
Recently, Leicester City did not give Liverpool a chance. Liverpool won a streak and Leicester City also won a streak, which made the points gap not narrowed because of Liverpool's streak.
However, although there is still a 7-point gap, Liverpool still has one round less of the match. If Liverpool can beat the powerful Chelsea in a make-up match, then for Liverpool, the score is poor. It may come to 4 points, and there is hope of a final fight in the final rounds of the game, which can cause a lot of psychological pressure on the top team, Leicester City.
If you want to make a comeback, you must first do a good job in the league.
Although Klopp did not say clearly, but after being reversed by Southampton in the away game, in fact, many Liverpool players understand that if they want to complete the final reversal, then they really can't afford to lose a point.
Fortunately, in the final stage of the league, Liverpool are mostly home games, which gives Liverpool the possibility of miracles.
At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool have the confidence to "cut off any opponent" in the game.
Everton has become a ghost under the sword, and now the most difficult piece of bone should be Chelsea after two games.
Fortunately, they are all played at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool naturally has a great advantage.
In this round of the game, Liverpool continue to sit at home, their opponent is the relegation zone team Newcastle.
Compared to the championship zone, Liverpool and Leicester City still have a 7-point gap in points. This year's relegation zone also has great suspense.
Although there are not so many teams going through relegation battles together in previous years, it doesn't matter if the number of teams is small, and the points gap is similar, which gives the relegation battle enough unexpected possibilities.
Aston Villa currently ranks first from the bottom with 16 points, so it must be relegated.
Today, Liverpool’s opponent, Newcastle, ranks second from the bottom with only 29 points.
But the penultimate "Black Cat" Sunderland scored 30 points.
Norwich, who is outside the relegation zone, has only 31 points.
This year's relegation situation is that the three teams grab a place in the Premier League. If the difference is within a range, whoever can win a game may immediately occupy the first step in relegation.
Even if it is an away game against Liverpool, for Newcastle, at this time, all opponents are not important. Their goal is simple, get points!
1 point for a tie, or even 3 points for a win, may affect whether they will be downgraded in the end.
No one wants to leave the Premier League.
You must know that the Premier League’s broadcast fee share is too much compared to the Premier League.
Although there is a parachute system, it can avoid the team's funding problems in the first two years.
But the intensity of the British Championship is not something that any team can easily upgrade if they want to upgrade.
Different from other leagues, the upgrade advantage of relegated horses will be great.
The intensive competition of the British Championship, and the more competitive style of competition, is actually a great impact for the relegated horse.
At least, every year, there are actually not many upgrades.
Moreover, due to the loss of the main force of the relegated team, the team may even fail to adapt to the intensity of the British Championship and the intensive schedule of the British Championship, and then have injuries and then directly fall into the League. .
Newcastle does not want to be relegated.
The players don’t want it, neither does the team boss.
At this time, for them, they also need to grab more points in the game and get all the points that should and shouldn't be scored.
Liverpool, playing at home, are naturally all the main players. Facing a team such as Niu Acastle, Liverpool continue to use the 442 attack combination commonly used recently in the game.
Sturridge in the second half of the league ensured that he was healthy and the state of the game was also very good, which allowed Klopp to have more strikers in his hand and also allowed Liverpool's offensive strength to be significantly enhanced.
As soon as the game started, the Liverpool fans at home gained a sense of reassurance.
In every game, it is necessary to strive to win, being able to score early in the game is a hard requirement for Liverpool.
Liverpool nowadays cannot allow a draw, so recently, Liverpool is also on the offensive end, in addition to strong offensive demands.
And today, the match just opened 1:22 seconds, Liverpool succeeded in blitz.
Yang Feng made a long pass in the midfield area and directly passed the ball into the area of Newcastle.
This kick is the direct connection between Yang Feng and Sturridge. Thanks to years of tacit training and cooperation, Yang Feng can control the landing point and the flight trajectory of the ball, which is very suitable for Sturridge to compete for the landing point. .
Because Liverpool players used to be more concentrated in the midfield area, it also involved Newcastle's defense, in fact, the coverage in the midfield is larger.
When Yang Feng completed the long pass and Sturridge quickly moved forward into the Newcastle area, in fact, Newcastle was the only two defensive players left to defend Sturridge 2v1.
However, although Sturridge is not an orthodox center forward player, he does not have the tall body and powerful physical confrontation ability of Benteke.
However, Sturridge is much better than the two defenders in judging where the ball falls.
accurately judged the landing point, allowing Sturridge to firmly occupy the position of the best landing point.
Sturridge completed the jump in the opponent's zone. Because of the accurate judgment of the landing point, he was the first to get stuck in the position. After the jump, Sturridge was actually not fighting for the top, but with a great position advantage, he thought of a way. To complete the task of unloading the ball brilliantly in the game.
Only after the ball is quickly removed, can the offensive be launched immediately.
Sturridge stopped the ball and then directly stopped the ball near his left foot while leaning against the two defenders.
Before the ball hit the ground, Sturridge knocked his left foot and quickly completed a half-turn. With the football attached to his left foot, he directly completed a kick to the goal.
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"Sturridge! Excellent display of personal ability."
"This is a connection between Yang Feng and Sturridge. The connection between the two Liverpool champions last season directly created Sturridge's outstanding personal offensive ability display."
"Excellent ability to hold the ball, excellent underfoot technique, and excellent goal abilities."
"The healthy Sturridge is so unstoppable."
"One person resists the interference of two defensive players, and can also stop the ball, unload the ball, and spin the ball. All the movements are done in one go, smooth and smooth."
"Liverpool scored the first goal in just over 1 minute, and it can be said that it has taken a considerable initiative."
To score at the beginning, for Liverpool, it must have the obvious initiative, then for Liverpool, in the subsequent games, they can safely fight back in the midfield and give their opponents a greater threat of counterattack. Up.
For Newcastle, Liverpool's blitz score obviously disrupted the tactical layout.
In the tempo of the game envisaged before the Newcastle game, this game is away from Anfield. The goal of the team is actually not that high. It must be an away game to beat Liverpool, which is in excellent shape recently.
can barely rely on the iron barrels to defend a draw, which is also in line with the Newcastle coach's wishes.
However, this **** start was the 451 formation that Newcastle sent in this game. Before he played his defensive role, he had to switch to an offensive formation to try to get back the score.
However, playing against Liverpool at Anfield is not a good thing for Newcastle.
After Newcastle fell behind, it stabilized for about 5 or 6 minutes, so that the players of the team were relieved, and then they began to attack.
There is no way, one loses, and two loses.
At this time, Newcastle can only expect to be able to tie the score first when they are in a confrontation. If Liverpool scores another goal and takes a two-goal lead, then for Newcastle, there will be no chance to create a miracle at Anfield. Up.
So for Liverpool, in the following games, it is time for them to fight back.
With a one-goal lead, what Liverpool need to do afterwards is to make a better and faster counterattack while ensuring the team's defense.
On the defensive end, Yang Feng's outstanding performance is still very good. For Liverpool, fault tolerance is still very large.
Just patiently fight back.
After Newcastle got on the offensive, it did create two attacking opportunities in the Liverpool half.
But the so-called offensive opportunity is actually just hitting the ball into Liverpool's defensive hinterland, and it did not pose much threat.
Yang Feng successfully intercepted the ball once in the middle, and once commanded his teammate Lovren, the adversary destroyed the ball, and he did not even allow Newcastle to complete the goal.
The threat of Liverpool's counterattack has always been an excellent counterattack effect.
Coutinho, Firmino, Sturridge, Lallana.
The frontcourt four-person group ~lightnovelpub.net~ took turns in counterattack, creating offensive opportunities, but they were all a little worse on the goal.
But quantitative changes will eventually cause qualitative changes.
Although Liverpool's offensive players, except for Sturridge at the opening, have not smooth footwork afterwards, but more shots will still cause changes.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Liverpool's defensive counterattack came again.
Moreno on the left side of this side inserts the attack, and can push Coutinho’s offensive position to the front, allowing Coutinho to increase the team’s contact point in the center and further press Newcastle in the zone. Defense.
And when Newcastle’s defensive attention was drawn to Moreno who broke through the wing, there were also a few Liverpool players in the area.
Lallana, at the top of the arc of the large area, has not received much attention.
Moreno made a cross pass and did not find the overcrowded zone, but found Lallana in front of the zone.
Pushed, Lallana stuck to the dead corner.
2 to 0, Liverpool's score advantage extended to 2 goals.
can be regarded as a complete destruction of Newcastle's hopes of getting points.
The final score was 3-0 and Liverpool won easily.
Just after Liverpool's victory against Newcastle, the Leicester City game also followed.
After the game, the Liverpool team did not go back to their homes after the cleansing. Instead, they all stayed in the locker room to watch the performance of their opponents.
In this game, Leicester City are away to challenge the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United
team.
