Chapter 309
At this time, if Liverpool has another person who is good at catching gaps, it is inevitable that alarms will continue to sound behind Sevilla's defense.

After Liverpool stole the ball from Sevilla this time, they quickly launched an attack directed at Sevilla's goal.

They didn't move back and forth in the backcourt looking for opportunities.

The opportunity has arisen, now it’s time to see if we can seize it.The competition at this time is not patience, but speed and accuracy.

Lin Yi didn't stop the ball and passed the football directly. The ball was received by Royce who retreated.

The tactics used by Liverpool in this game are fast passing and cutting, which requires the speed and accuracy of the passing. Under such requirements, it is unlikely that long balls will fly all over the sky. More often, the team will have to Use short passes to advance.

In order to ensure the speed and accuracy of the pass, the distance between the players cannot be too far. As the distance increases, the accuracy of the pass plummets. Even the best passer cannot escape this rule.

Therefore, this requires Liverpool players to keep a very close distance and the formation to shrink with Lin Yi as the center.

Several lines must be kept in contact at all times, so that Liverpool's rapid passing and cutting can be played.

This tactic requires a lot of physical fitness from the players.

All early goals are particularly important.

Only by scoring an early goal and converting the advantage into a victory can the pressure on the subsequent team be relieved.

The sooner the goals come the better, the more goals the better.

After Royce catches the ball, because his back is facing the direction of the attack, turning around with the ball wastes time and risks being intercepted.So Royce passed the football directly back to the full-back Manquillo.

This is why everyone is required to actively move, the forwards need to retreat, and the defenders need to press forward. Only in this way can the connection be established.

After receiving the pass from Royce, Manquillo quickly moved to the center and gave it to Kanter.

Kanter immediately sent the football out to Lin Yi.

Facing the football passed by Kanter, Lin Yi turned his back to the attacking direction, but used the outside instep of his right foot to send the football behind him, to Salah, who was approaching the center to receive the ball.

Lin Yi then turned around and ran forward.

After entering the midfield area, the person following him was replaced by Krechowiak.

But Krychowiak didn't touch the football at all. He was quite happy when he saw Lin Yi turning his back. He felt that Lin Yi took the initiative to turn his back to the direction of attack, which would make it easier for him to keep a close eye on him.

Who would have thought that even though Lin Yi had his back to the attacking direction, he could still pass the football forward. At the same time, he blocked himself in front of Krechowiak, protecting the football very well.

Seeing Lin Yi turn around, Krechowiak turned around himself and continued to defend Lin Yi.This is the task given to him by Unai Emery and he must complete it well.

Salah passed the football diagonally and then to Lin Yi who was advancing.

Krychowiak was still following Lin Yi.

Lin Yi did not stop the ball while running, but used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the right, giving it to Royce who was inward.

After passing the ball, he did not stop running, but continued to run forward. At the same time, he made a gesture to ask Royce to pass the football to him. This was an obvious coordination against the wall.

Royce of course got the football back quickly.

Lin Yi had already advanced to the 30-meter area of ​​Sevilla at this time. The person defending him was not only Krechowiak, but also Sevilla's center back Andreoli.

He was originally on his own defensive line.Seeing Lin Yi coming all the way to him, of course he couldn't turn a blind eye, so when Royce passed the football to Lin Yi, he also rushed towards Lin Yi, intending to fight with Crehovia The two of them defended one after another, allowing Liverpool's attack to end here.

Lin Yi adjusted his pace while running. Facing the rolling football, he raised his right foot and made a move to shoot.

Andreoli immediately raised his foot and turned around, intending to use his body to block Lin Yi's shot.

Lifting your feet is to increase the defensive area, and turning is out of the body's instinct to protect yourself - if you don't turn around, it will be uncomfortable if the football hits your face or crotch...

The football rolled over and Lin Yi kicked his feet!
But he missed the football!

Is it a kick? !

No, he missed the ball on purpose!
Lin Yi waited for the football to pass in front of him before swinging it...

He let the ball go, but the football's speed continued unabated and passed directly to Lin Yi's left side.

There, Firmino runs forward and receives the ball!
Because of Lin Yi's series of passing cooperation with Salah and Reus, as well as the momentum of the sudden attack in the middle, it attracted the attention of most of Sevilla's players.

So when Firmino got the ball, they realized - it turns out that Liverpool's killer move is here!

Firmino had already entered Sevilla's penalty area when he picked up the ball.

He now has a great shot!

Firmino didn't hesitate and shot directly!
Kolodejchak rushed up to stop Firmino's shot. His foot had already stretched out and touched the football.

However, the football did not change its line and fly out of the goal area, but changed its direction slightly and flew towards the lower corner of the goal!
Originally, Firmino's shot was headed for the far corner, and Sergio also pounced in the same way, but who would have thought that Kolodejchak would extend his kick like this...

The football changed direction, and Sergio could do nothing. He could only watch the football roll into the goal as it brushed against the near post!

"The goal is in! The goal is in! Wow! In just 3 minutes, Liverpool took a one-goal lead! Firmino's shot! Liverpool has a perfect start!" He Wei shouted excitedly.

Anfield has been noisy from the start of the game and it has reached a peak now.

Firmino ran wildly to celebrate his goal. Behind him were other Liverpool players, including Lin Yi.

No one expected that Sevilla would fall behind just 3 minutes into the game.

Three minutes was too short, and it was difficult to tell which side had the advantage. As a result, Liverpool scored so inadvertently...

After the goal, the Liverpool players celebrated the goal. In front of the visiting team's coaching bench, Unai Emery looked very depressed about the goal.

In his opinion, Liverpool's attack was still a bit of a threat, but it should not have scored.

This goal conceded was entirely due to Sevilla's bad luck...

If Kolodejchak had not stepped up to block it, Sergio should have been able to save Firmino's ball without threatening the goal.

But one can’t blame Kolodejchak.Any responsible player at that time, as long as he has the ability, will step up to block the opponent's shot.So it can only be said that it was bad luck. If he was lucky, Kolodejchak blocked Firmino's shot directly from the baseline.

It was bad luck that the football touched his foot, changed direction and flew into the near corner of the goal...

Bad luck, Sevilla only conceded the ball in the first 3 minutes of the game.Our pre-game plans have not even had time to materialize.

Luck, everything should be attributed to bad luck.

Not only Unai Emery thinks so, but the Spanish commentators also think so.

"Firmino's shot hit Kolodjczak's foot and accidentally turned into a goal... Sevilla's luck is really bad!"

In the first 3 minutes, Liverpool scored with only their second shot. Isn't this bad luck?

This kind of thinking is normal. What can be seen in 3 minutes?
Even if you see something, I'm afraid it will just be attributed to your bad luck and the other party's good luck...

Only people within the Liverpool team know what this goal means.

After Firmino scored, everyone in front of the Liverpool coaching bench jumped up excitedly, hugged and cheered to celebrate the goal.

Everyone seemed very excited, at least more excited than usual when they scored a goal.Generally speaking, when such an exciting scene occurs, it is basically a winning goal.Although it is very satisfying to score a goal at the beginning like now, you still have to be a little more restrained and not be too explicit, so as not to affect the emotions of the players on the field and make them relax. Then this game is It has just begun, and the opponent has enough time to counterattack.

So if you score a goal after the opening kickoff, everyone will not be so excited to celebrate.

This time Liverpool's coaching staff is so excited. Why?

In fact, the reason is very simple.This goal is not the most important thing to everyone. You must know that this goal still hit Kolodejchak's leg and was scored after a line change. The shot itself was not very exciting.

But everyone is still very excited, because before this goal, Liverpool’s series of wonderful performances fully demonstrated that Liverpool’s players showed the tactical arrangements formulated by the coaching staff, indicating that everyone’s previous hard training was fruitful and reciprocated.

That's what coaches value most.

If it's just a lucky goal, the only value to the coaches is the result.

But if the goal is achieved through something you normally train for, it's valuable.It shows that such goals can occur repeatedly.

Being able to appear repeatedly means that the next goal will come, and Liverpool will not just rely on a lucky goal to lead Sevilla.If Sevilla really thinks Liverpool are lucky, then they will suffer a heavier blow next!

The celebration of the Liverpool players did not last long. Compared with the excited Liverpool coaches on the sidelines, the players on the field seemed more restrained.

After the celebration, they returned to their own half, and Sevilla's players were already standing in their positions, waiting for the kick-off.

Although the ball was lost at the beginning, the Sevilla players stood in their positions and waited for the kick-off. Many Sevilla players did not have much confusion and pain in their eyes, and their emotions were not affected too much. Impact.

This fully shows that this team still has fighting ability.Referee Eriksson blew the whistle and the game restarted.

After losing the ball, Sevilla kicked off and then took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to attack Liverpool's goal.

It's just that Liverpool is already familiar with Sevilla's offensive routine and has made targeted deployments and arrangements.

Therefore, although Sevilla's attack resulted in a shot, it did not actually threaten Liverpool's goal.

Next, possession returned to Liverpool.

Sevilla's players are obviously more in tune than when they just took the ball to attack.

The football was still on the line of Liverpool's small penalty area, and Sevilla player Krychowiak had already appeared next to Lin Yi.

"... Sevilla did not panic because they lost the ball. Everyone knew what to do. This is really an admirable and scary team..." He Wei noticed this detail , he then sighed.

Lin Yi was not surprised by the performance of the Sevilla players, nor was he surprised by the performance of the Sevilla team.

In addition to the tactical aspects, he also paid attention to the spiritual aspects.

The reason why this Sevilla team has been able to achieve such success is certainly not just about tactics.

The execution of tactics depends on the players, and how well the players execute the tactics depends largely on the players' willpower.

He doesn't care what's in the eyes of the Sevilla players now.

Liverpool certainly took this kind of thing into consideration when preparing for the game.They didn't think that Sevilla could be defeated and collapsed just by taking a one-goal lead. Wouldn't that be too much to underestimate Sevilla?

Every Liverpool player knows this. If this can surprise Liverpool and catch them off guard...

Lin Yi welcomes Seville to try it out.

Due to the tactical requirements of quick passing and cutting, Mignolet did not kick the football into the frontcourt with a big kick, but passed it to the center back Lovren who was receiving outside the penalty area.

At the same time, Liverpool's three lines remain very compact, allowing everyone to pass the ball quickly and accurately.

Liverpool once again resorted to scoring goals.

Lovren passed to Kanter, Kanter passed to Lin Yi, Lin Yi passed back to Johnson, Johnson passed to Salah who was retreating, Salah passed to Firmino, and Firmino passed back to Lin Yi, Lin Yi then transferred the football to Royce on the right. Royce dribbled the ball forward. After encountering an obstacle, he did not hesitate and immediately passed the football back to Got Lin Yi.

Lin Yi passed the ball directly without stopping and handed the football to Salah on the left.

At this time, Liverpool had quickly advanced to Sevilla's 30-meter area.

Although Sevilla invested heavily in the midfield and frontcourt, they did not even touch the football during Liverpool's advance...

The Sevilla players have been pressing hard and trying to cut off the football, but every time the Liverpool players are able to pass the football ahead of them.

After Salah got the ball, he first tried to break through from the wing, but after a fake move, he suddenly changed to cut inside.

In the process of cutting inside, he shot directly.

The football drew an arc and was slightly higher than the crossbar...

"Salah! Oops! It's such a pity that the goal didn't go in! Almost! Although it didn't go in, it was still a very threatening shot! Liverpool's offense is very smooth... advancing from the backcourt to the frontcourt, passing the ball continuously , although Sevilla grabbed the ball very fiercely, they couldn't touch the ball..." He Wei saw some clues.
