Chapter 126: Counterattack is coming
Chapter 126 Counterattack is coming
Under the reassurance of Gerrard and others, the Liverpool players quickly recovered their calm. Except for Abeloa, who received the yellow card, which was still full of anger, the other Liverpool players returned to their positions.
The game also resumed quickly, and Liverpool's backcourt kicked out.
Liverpool, one goal behind, quickly launched a counterattack. As the commander of the team, Harvey Alonso still has a lot of time to get the ball.
Harvey Alonso is a Spanish player, but he is not known for his short passes like the Harvey of Barcelona, but he is known for his outstanding long pass.
The timing and accuracy of his long pass are among the best among midfielders in world football, and he can surpass his current players in this regard.
Liverpool’s two wingers opened up the space, the purpose is also to play this characteristic of Harvey Alonso.
But Harvey Alonso's long pass hasn't come out yet. He was knocked to the ground by Drinkwater as soon as he received the ball.
Drinkwater, who was whistled for a foul by the referee, did not walk away, but stood at the place of the foul to prevent Liverpool from being driven out quickly.
"Harvey Alonso's weakness-speed and ability to escape!"
"Stick to him! Don't let him make a long pass!"
One of the tasks that Gao Bo assigned to Drinkwater before the game was to limit Harvey Alonso!
Now Liverpool’s two midfielders, Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, Mascherano is a pure engineering player, his defensive ability is far greater than his offensive ability, so if you limit Harvey- Alonso, even if the ball is given to Mascherano, it will not help Liverpool's offense.
Mascherano is a world-class defensive midfielder, but if he is allowed to organize the offense, maybe he can complete some regular pass advancement work, but let him pass the imagination like Harvey Alonso A beautiful long pass with both power and penetrating power is a bit difficult.
Harvey Alonso has not played too smoothly in this game, because as long as he takes the ball, Drinkwater sticks up like brown sugar.
Harvey Alonso is a typical representative of the commander's rear position in modern football. In order to avoid the opponent's densely defensive midfield area, more and more teams tend to move the team's commander from the front to the back Waist come. And Harvey Alonso is undoubtedly a typical representative!
However, the contradictions always correspond to each other. When the commander of one side retreats, the defender will naturally move the defensive force forward to restrict the opponent's offensive organizers!
Gao Bo's move is not new, and Benitez also thought of it before the game.
Luton's midfielder has the strongest defensive ability in Kanter. Benitez thought before the game that Gao Bo would let Kanter defend Harvey Alonso. After all, in the midfield, Drinkwater has a large part of the offensive task.
But from now on, Drinkwater has been close to Harvey Alonso all the time!
Benitez was a little strange, he glanced at Gao Bo on the other side.
What is this Chinese doing? Does his team need an offensive organizer?
Even if it is a counterattack, it also needs a linker. Most of Luton's counterattacks are initiated by Drinkwater's passes.
Kanter steals the ball and hands the ball to Drinkwater, who makes a counterattack. This is almost the most routine counterattack routine used by Luton.
But now, Drinkwater seems to put too much energy on defense.
Harvey Alonso tried to run to catch the ball, but Drinkwater seemed to follow him. Harvey Alonso was not fast, and his ability to get rid of relatively limited, so Drinkwater It's still very tight!
After seeing Harvey Alonso running, Gao Bo smiled.
This kind of scene is his favorite to see! Because the 19-year-old Drinkwater is much better than Harvey Alonso in terms of physical fitness. If he can force Harvey Alonso to pay most of his physical fitness in the first half, then No doubt Luton made it!
Harvey Alonso played very frustrated.
When he was stuck by Drinkwater again and couldn't turn around, and was forced to pass back, the Spaniard was a little annoyed.
He beckoned for the ball again, and then when Drinkwater came up, his back suddenly slammed into Drinkwater's chest.
Dlinkwater screamed, then rolled on the ground.
Harvey Alonso didn't care about that much, he turned around with the ball, ready to make a long pass.
It feels so good that no one is sticking to it...
Harvey Alonso's good mood was interrupted by the referee's whistle.
"Foul?!!!"
The Spaniard's face is incredible!
The referee ignored so much. He pointed at the foul spot and ran over to warn Harvey Alonso!
"Pay attention to your actions!!"
Harvey Alonso spread his hands: "Did you see that kid's actions?!"
"If it was a foul, then the kid should have ended with a red card."
The face of the referee on duty fell gloomy, and when the players questioned the penalty, no referee would be happy.
Gerrard come up quickly, Harvey Alonsola go.
He took Harvey Alonso into his arms, and then kissed the Spaniard: "Calm down! Calm down Harvey!"
"They did it on purpose!"
Harvey Alonso is also a well-rounded player, he soon knew that he was influenced by emotions.
Alonso took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"They have too many small moves, Steven!"
"I know...but this is not normal anymore, because they can't kick us in the usual way!" Gerrard became serious, "That's why they play this little trick!"
Gao Bo doesn't think he is playing tricks. In order to defeat Liverpool, Luton, who is absolutely weak in strength, will of course do everything he can.
What's more, it's just a little bit more defensive...
Liverpool stars probably don’t know that for low-level league teams, such things as gentlemen absolutely do not exist on the football field.
There is no gentleman covered in mud.
Dlinkwater was helped by his teammates.
"It's okay, Danny?"
Adam asked worriedly.
Dlinkwater winked quietly at Adam.
Adam knew right away, this guy is acting!
But when he saw that the referee didn't mean to draw a yellow card, Drinkwater got up from the ground with some regret, and rubbed Adam's head.
"Hurry up and prepare for this set ball!"
Dlinkwater pressed the ball to his feet, and it came out!
But the referee did not allow him to serve quickly and blew the ball back again.
Boos sounded from the stands, and Luton fans were of course very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty.
Gao Bo, who was on the sidelines, was also quite dissatisfied. He jumped on the sidelines: "Why can't you send it fast!! Damn..."
Lin Sen hurriedly stopped the angry head coach.
For Lin Sen, he really doesn't understand why Gao Bo, who is so calm on weekdays, seems to be a different person when he stands in the position of directing the game.
The game on the field quickly resumed, Luton’s free kick did not create a threat like the last time ~lightnovelpub.net~ The ball soon returned to Liverpool's hands.
Harvey Alonso was restricted, and Gerrard retreated to catch the ball.
Compared to Harvey Alonso, Gerrard's ability to protect the ball and get rid of is much higher, and after Gerrard returns, Liverpool's midfielder has an extra point of contact.
The long pass could not be played, and Liverpool simply advanced to the frontcourt with a short pass.
Liverpool's strength is still strong, they simply broke the trick Luton arranged before the game.
Gao Bo didn’t regret it. He asked Drinkwater to limit Harvey Alonso just to prevent Liverpool’s long pass scheduling. But if Liverpool advance through the ground, Luton will do it. There is no good way for the side, after all, you can't completely choke Liverpool's offense through such a trick-Luton's strength can't do this.
But when Liverpool advanced to the frontcourt, they encountered new difficulties.
Gerrard found that the little black man in Luton was too difficult. He failed to take advantage of Kanter several times.
In the twenty-third minute of the game, Gerrard had just received the ball near the top of the arc in the penalty area. He was tipped by Kanter and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, Harvey Alonso also pressed him. He controlled the football that Kanter stabbed by his foreign name.
But he just grabbed the ball, Kanter immediately jumped on it! !
Gerrard's eyes are about to come out!
Kanter tackled the ball directly and accurately shoveled the ball away from Harvey Alonso!
Drinkwater, who has been following Harvey Alonso, immediately took the ball and turned around and directly launched a long pass! !
Adam White ran out of space in the frontcourt!
This one... is really fighting back!
