Football’s First Defender

Chapter 530: Liverpool's Bell

   At the beginning of the new season, two consecutive losses to Manchester City have shown Liverpool’s major offensive problems this season.

   Liverpool's terrifying offensive suppressing power during the championship last season has disappeared in the game against Manchester City this season.

   Instead, it was Manchester City's offensive impact, which caused a lot of trouble to Liverpool.

   Defensive line, Liverpool have not changed much this season.

   Moreno started in place of the injured Flanagan. In terms of on-court performance, it is quite remarkable and there is no problem.

   In the strong matchup with Manchester City, the most prominent problem is the weak defense of the midfield, and Liverpool's own offense, which can't make the feeling of last season's flow.

And last season, sometimes Liverpool used the mid-to-front press tactics often used in strong matchups. It was also because of the further decline of Gerrard's physical fitness and athletic ability that he could not play the pressure of last season. effect.

   The offense cannot be achieved, the defense cannot be achieved.

   Faced with a stable lineup this season and the team's excellent team performance, it is not surprising that Liverpool lost.

   Is it the new season for Manchester City to continue the excellent state of the latter part of the last season, too strong, or the strength of Liverpool, which has lost Suarez, has become too weak?

   In the third round of the league, many people have a good benchmark for Liverpool's strength.

   In the third round of the Premier League early game, Liverpool went to London and played at White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham.

   Although Spurs did not invest much in the summer transfer window, they performed very well in the new season.

   Two consecutive Premier League victories, scoring 5 goals and all clean sheets.

   Last season, with a "big king" Bell, a bunch of players were exchanged. Except for the unaccustomed, the other players were well integrated into the team.

   And coupled with the tactical reforms brought by the new coach Pochettino, Tottenham’s fast-paced offensive play now makes the first two victories very beautiful.

   This Saturday morning matchup in the Premier League attracted enough attention.

   For Liverpool, the team lineup has changed.

   Sturridge's discomfort at the center position made Rogers choose Balotelli, who was transferred from AC Milan, to straighten him.

   Sturridge returned to the position of his most suitable shadow front, "hiding" behind Balotelli, waiting for the opportunity.

   Balotelli's appearance will naturally take the place of other midfielders. Coutinho made the sacrifice.

   Rogers knows that Gerrard's defensive state is currently declining. When Lucas is still unable to play due to injuries, he naturally wants to leave enough defensive players in the midfield.

   Gerrard, Henderson, Joe Allen form a three midfielder, mainly playing defense and dispatching the ball.

   The attack from the wing is carried out by Moreno on the left and Glen Johnson on the right.

   In the starting decision of the two young talents, Sterling and Coutinho, Rogers chose Sterling.

   For Sterling, Rogers has high hopes.

   Just like Bell back then, Sterling's outstanding speed has made Rogers dissatisfied to use Sterling as just a side road.

Rogers hopes to make Sterling the second Bell, allowing Sterling to play in the free agent position of the frontcourt, and to appear in a dangerous position at any time, using his speed and flexibility to create murderous opportunities. .

   During the counterattack, Sterling can also use his own speed to create enough counterattack threats at any position.

   At this time, Coutinho’s breakthrough ability seems to be of little value to the team’s overall offense. Let Coutinho play on the bench, which may be better for Liverpool’s continued offense.

   With Liverpool, the similar positions are different. Tottenham are still in the 451 formation at home. Pochettino still insists on his own ball-handling style at home.

   In this powerful duel, both sides put enough troops on the offensive end from the beginning.

   At the beginning of the game, Bashen made his debut in Liverpool and almost scored a goal for his new club.

   In the 3rd minute of the game, Sturridge pulled to the left.

After Moreno quickly jumped into the bottom and attracted Tottenham’s side defenders, Sturridge, with a more relaxed passing space, directly swayed his legs on the spot, sent a pass, and landed directly into the small penalty area. Later point.

   Balotelli followed up in the middle, overpowering Vertonghen, and headed directly to the goal. The goal was reacted by Lori and blocked by a side throw.

But Bashen reacted very quickly with a close-range shot, but he was hit by Vertonghen, who fell to the ground first, and crawled around. Before the ball rolled into the goal, he barely blocked the goal line with his body. Shooting line.

  Bashen was just a little short of his Liverpool's first goal, just one ball away.

   It may be due to the Europa League play-offs. Although Tottenham have control of the ball on the field, the team has done extremely well in the past two Premier League games.

   Liverpool's defensive pressure today is not great, and it can even leave enough players in the midfield to create a greater threat of counterattack after completing the defense.

   Tottenham striker, Adebayor, in the Premier League in recent years, facing Yang Feng's defense, he has not taken too much advantage.

   Yang Feng already has his own set of experience in defending this kind of black forward who relies mainly on physical fitness.

   There is no such exquisite personal skills as South American players. For these African attacking players, just stick directly next to them and make them feel uncomfortable.

   is impatient, and the performance of these players will be compromised.

   Adebayor, under Yang Feng's defense, played extremely uncomfortable.

   Yang Feng is like a brown candy, firmly sticking to Adebayor's body.

   Since the start of the game, Adebayor has not touched the ball within 30 meters of Liverpool.

   It was Lamela's pilling pass after a wing breakthrough.

   Adebayor wanted to take off for a dispute, but after Yang Feng judged the point of the high ball, he easily got stuck in the position, took off and cleared the siege, and directly headed the ball to Henderson not far away.

   Henderson immediately accelerated forward, and Liverpool's counterattack began.

Observing the situation on the field, Henderson made a long pass directly and threw the ball to the right side of the front court~www.readwn.com~ Balotelli ran wildly on the right side, relying on speed to get his position. The advantages.

   Tottenham left back, Danny Rose's speed is not slow, but when Balotelli has taken the advantage of his position, Danny Rose can only drive Bashen out.

   is too far to the right, there is no room to cut inside, even if Bashen is half of Danny Rose ahead, he can only choose to pass the ball.

   In the process of moving fast, Balotelli directly sent a flat ball just after entering the 30-meter danger zone of Tottenham.

   The low-altitude ball, but still a slight arc.

   This pass just bypassed Tottenham’s double center-backs who quickly returned to the defense, and came back from the goalkeeper Lowe to the back point.

   Sterling used his absolute speed to catch up with the passing point of the pass and shoot directly with his left foot!

   is too close to the goal, the goal is not strong, the ball is not fast, but Lori's save still did not lower the center of gravity.

   1 to 0!

   Sterling helped Liverpool open the scoring less than 10 minutes into the game.

   Even without Suarez, Liverpool's terrorist forces in the counterattack are still so outstanding.

   In the free agent position in the frontcourt, Sterling, who was fully trusted by Rogers, also used this goal to repay Rogers’ trust in himself...
