Football’s First Defender

In the first half of the game, the Newcastle players relied on their excellent defensive performance in the half and Ben Alpha's extremely high ability to seize opportunities when opportunities appeared, and became the winners of the half.

The 2-0 lead is still at home. For the Newcastle fans, it seems that they have seen the team's hope of defeating Liverpool, the best-performing team in the Premier League this season, and that Liverpool's order There are feared strikers throughout Europe, and they will be completely restricted by Newcastle in this game.

The entire intermission time, for Rogers, is an excellent moment to adjust the players' psychology.

Liverpool's team strength must be more than one grade higher than opponents like Newcastle.

So now, in the first half of the game, Liverpool played so hard.

It must be caused by many reasons. For example, away factors, physical factors after FIFA games, and some players still have mental factors that despise this game.

The combination of these incentives made Liverpool perform extremely poorly on the court.

If it is said that the physical factors after FIFA matches, Rogers may only be adjusted by substitutions, then some of the unnatural performances in the away game, as well as the mentality of contempt before the game, through the training of Rogers in the midfield, the Liverpool players, You can still make adjustments quickly and make adjustments to keep yourself in the best condition.

In the second half of the game, Liverpool did not immediately make substitution adjustments. Rogers will use his substitution quota for players who have obvious physical problems, but the momentum of the Liverpool players has changed.

The initiative of the offense is still in Liverpool's hands. Facing Newcastle's continued iron barrel formation, although Liverpool players are two goals behind, they still organize the offense patiently and patiently by constantly shifting the ball to mobilize. Newcastle's defensive line creates an opportunity to pass the threatening ball.

As for Liverpool, it was not Suarez or Sturridge that was the first to show off his excellent offensive state in the second half, but the teenager Sterling.

This small wing player who is not a strong figure actually succeeded in using his speed on the right to forcibly tear Newcastle's wing defense line.

It's not an unfamiliar bottom pass. With many defensive players assembled in Newcastle's midfield, a wide pass. Even if Sterling's current pass is not bad, there is still no good chance to fight.

In the two wing ball pillings did not have an excellent threat, Sterling began to try to break through the wing.

Exerting one's own speed, but no longer directly accelerating the bottom, but in the process of acceleration, interspersed with emergency stops, and changing directions, no longer for the purpose of passing from the side, but will break through the opponent’s side defense Killing to the restricted area, causing confusion becomes the primary goal of the offense.

When Sterling played his flexibility on the right, and frequently began to try to attack Newcastle’s penalty area, Liverpool’s overall attack was slowly revitalized by Sterling.

Sterling's wing threat opened up a breakthrough for Newcastle's entire defense.

If there is no one to defend, then Sterling can upset Newcastle’s defense alone, while other players defend Sterling in the past, as if they were dominoes. There are loopholes in one link, and Newcastle’s entire defense is the same. It will collapse.

The two killers on the Liverpool strike can be limited by the opponent's advantage in numbers. Although they did not perform well for dozens of minutes, when the opponent's suffocating defense began to decrease in intensity, then there is still Stu for Suarez Rich's opportunity came.

Stirling's consecutive successful wing breakthroughs forced Newcastle to change some defensive methods and try to tilt some defensive forces to the left to deal with Sterling's way.

Although such a defensive change had an immediate effect, after Sterling lacked enough space to take the ball, when he tried to break again, the ball that went out was the first to be intercepted by the Newcastle players.

However, Sterling's growth this season is not only in football skills, but also in the improvement of football IQ for handling the ball.

In the face of the opponent's defensive change, Sterling immediately made his own response, still with the duo of himself on the wing and Glen Johnson, launching a continuous offensive.

Glen Johnson was limited by his performance in the first half. In the second half, he was more defensive. On the offensive end, he ran up and participated in the pass to Sterling.

But the two wide players are extremely calling.

Glen Johnson is definitely not a delicate passing point, but when sending the ball to Sterling, Glen Johnson is definitely able to do his best.

A through ball may be due to players of the same type. The ball passed by Glen Johnson can always be controlled to the limit without getting out of the bottom line, allowing Sterling to have a long-distance acceleration room. , After a thorough start, you can just control the football stage.

It was Glenn Johnson's wonderful through ball that gave Sterling a considerable boost in the back.

Sterling can fully gain the advantage in the first step to tackle the ball, and there will be more room for action later.

The cooperation of scoring requires multiple favorable conditions to be matched together.

For Liverpool’s offensive, when Glen Johnson once again sent an over-the-top pass, allowing Sterling to get a chance to catch the ball forward, Liverpool’s continuous offensive finally ushered in a chance to get a goal in return. .

Sterling used speed for the first time to get rid of defensive players once again.

Although this space after getting rid of is not that big because of Newcastle’s shrinking defense line, it is enough to be used by Sterling to adjust his offensive position and direction in the game to give Newcastle other defenders. Bring the most uncomfortable defensive experience.

This time Sterling's breakthrough, after attracting enough defensive players' attention, did not choose to pass the ball to Suarez and Sturridge, who still have considerable defensive attention, but a diagonal retreat. An inverted triangle pass.

It is not so far behind, nor is it to pass the ball directly to find someone, but just choose to pass the ball to the Newcastle defense, because the side close to Sterling is tilted, and the inevitability of the defense line is open.

Although from Sterling’s momentary perspective, he did not find his teammates in that time, Sterling chose to believe that his teammates, as the top players, would definitely find this opportunity.

It would be good for Sterling to do his own passing work. As for running and hitting, it is completely entrusted to his trusted teammates.

The power of the ball pass is not too great, but it is accurately passed to the empty position. For the Newcastle players, even if they realize that the pass is dangerous, they want to adjust their center of gravity instantly and reorganize. It is no longer realistic to defend the line or complete the blockade.

And the moment Sterling fell to the ground after passing the ball, the red figure that he expected really appeared when Sterling fell heavily to the ground.

A not-so-tall figure quickly inserted from the middle and rushed forward desperately, finally reaching Sterling's pass.

Henderson, in Rodgers’ tactical system for two seasons, played many positions in the midfield, but he worked hard and relied on his effortless running and his increasingly mature passing skills. He was finally recognized by Rogers. Become an important part of the team.

And in this attack in the second half, as the Liverpool midfielder, the player closest to the striker, Henderson was very free to move in tactics when he attacked the Liverpool striker.

Because the characteristics of Liverpool's attacking line are strong personal ability, as well as unconstrained attacking imagination and options, without so many dogmatic constraints, for Henderson, he can only try to cooperate with his teammates on the line.

He just needs to make sure that when Liverpool loses the ball, he can run back to where he should appear and complete the defense.

And this time, Henderson had made several breakthroughs before Sterling, and he had already read that Newcastle's defense might come out to a certain degree. At the time, this time of attack, Henderson boldly chose to be closer to the opponent's penalty area.

When Sterling really passed a threatening ball, Henderson ran directly to the pass point in the process of running. Although his speed is not so fast, he can still interact with the defense when he reacts first. Players occupy a priority position in the confrontation.

Henderson rushed to this pass. This is an opportunity to definitely make a threatening shot in the penalty area. Although the defender on the side has already made a tackle, there are other Newcastle players who reacted in front. , Is rushing to block.

Henderson was definitely able to make a threat.

But Henderson's final choice was to kick the ball diagonally to the front left among the sparks.

In such a fast-paced game, Henderson still made the most reasonable approach in his opinion when he had a chance to hit the goal.

Rather than complete a threatening shot by yourself, it is better to hand the ball directly to the foot of a striker who can create a greater threat of shooting.

When the Newcastle defensive player was completely shocked by the extremely threatening connection between Sterling and Henderson this time, he did not expect that Henderson would have such a good offensive opportunity. Will also choose to pass.

And this diagonal pass, passing diagonally from the middle of the two Newcastle players, when Sturridge caught the ball and hit the goal, it was indeed a better and more threatening shot. Door location.

"GOAL!!!"

"Sturridge..."

1 to 2, the second half of the game only lasted 57 minutes, and Sturridge's "scoring average" goal was achieved again.

The game time is still very abundant. For the Liverpool players, the 1 goal gap may be an offensive round. After successfully scoring a goal and breaking the opponent's barrel, Liverpool's momentum is Has been turned over.

Liverpool's offensive, after scoring the first goal, continued to maintain sufficient pressure.

The continuous attack also brought back greater returns for Liverpool in a short time.

If the Newcastle players in the first half were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, then in the second half, after gaining a 2-0 lead in the first half, the Newcastle players carried the burden of wanting to win and fear of losing. .

Although Newcastle maintained its defensive formation very well, the players' energy and focus on defense were definitely not as good as the first half.

After being completely penetrated by Liverpool and allowing Sturridge to score, the Newcastle players, with only a one-goal lead, felt even more psychological pressure to win.

However, in the game, this extra pressure will not bring me much defensive focus. It just makes everything worse~www.readwn.com~Liverpool’s offense is starting to get more and more. Sharp, the threat of creation began to grow, and for the Newcastle players, the defensive pressure was also increasing.

When Liverpool's offense, playing state, other teams' defense, everything will be in vain.

The Newcastle players were not so good defensively. After Liverpool's offensive players gradually recovered their game state, not to mention the paper defense, but they have always been turbulent.

In the 64th minute of the game, less than 10 minutes after the last goal, Liverpool took advantage of the situation and scored again, bringing the score back to a tie.

In this attack, Suarez gave full play to his role as a fulcrum. In a quick transition from Liverpool to defense, Suarez and Yang Feng completed the connection. Suarez, who retreated, competed for Yang Feng’s long pass. Push the ball directly to the right hinterland.

Sterling performed extremely well in the second half, once again defeating the opponent's left back in the 1v1 speed competition.

In the process of diagonally forward after receiving the ball, Sterling, who rarely hits the goal, can only choose to complete a kick directly when other supporting teammates still have a certain distance.

It's not too tricky to push the corner to hit the goal, but the victory lies in the full force, and the distance is close enough, the goalkeeper's reaction time is not enough, Sterling hit the goal, almost flying past the Newcastle goalkeeper. , Enter the goal.

Although the goal was a bit thrilling, it was fortunate that the goal was scored. After 20 minutes of hard work in the second half, the Liverpool players finally pulled the score back. Now both sides are at the same starting line. Liverpool, who just scored two goals, are clearly in absolute terms. The dominant position, reversal, may happen in the next minute...
