Football’s First Defender

In the end, Liverpool was 3-0 away and easily defeated Tottenham, who had performed quite well before.

The doubts that Liverpool faced after losing to Manchester City were completely shattered by Liverpool's victory in this strong and strong dialogue.

Liverpool is still the same Liverpool. Although it may not have the dominant power of last season, most of the time, it is still a TONE-level team in the Premier League.

After the three rounds of the Premier League, it is the national team match day. For the Chinese team, which has no major competition tasks, some warm-up matches with the underdogs in Asia are naturally not worthy of Yang Feng traveling back and forth from Europe. Hey, one paragraph is missing! Like it, please collect it: () Zhaishuyuan has the fastest update speed.

It's just that the Liverpool team itself is still seriously arrested. Stirling, who has recently been given high praise, has been directly promoted to the England national team. The English coach needs more young players to speed up the transition of the Three Lions.

Sterling, who performed very well in the Premier League, was treated as the main force in two friendly matches directly in the Three Lions. Damn, another paragraph is missing! Zhaishuyuan, the fastest update of the latest chapters!

But such a high-intensity use of Sterling also made Rogers angry at the Liverpool base.

Players have limited physical fitness. Sterling, who played double matches in a week, was young, but after returning to Liverpool, he was also sluggish.

After thinking about it, Sterling was not scheduled to start in the fourth round against Villa.

Coutinho replaced Sterling's starting position, but the Liverpool team's tactics have not changed, except that the role of free man in the midfield is handed over to Coutinho. Day, I couldn’t watch it and I missed it! Remember for a second, Zhai Shuyuan ().

However, Liverpool, which suffered from the FIFA virus, performed extremely poorly in this field.

Even at their own Anfield stadium, the team faced Villa, who played extremely well at the start of the season, but did not exert enough pressure at all.

In Liverpool's starting lineup, Coutinho alone replaced Sterling, but on the pitch, Liverpool simply could not create a threatening attack.

The most unqualified thing for Liverpool today is the running of the team.

The continuous national team game days have had too much impact on the players' physical fitness. Liverpool, who should have been younger and more energetic, faced Villa players who had rested for two weeks. They were at an absolute disadvantage in running distance. .

Liverpool, playing at home, has indeed always controlled the offensive initiative on the field. However, with Villa resolutely implementing the defensive counterattack strategy, there is not enough running. It is destined that Liverpool cannot create an excellent position in the battle. Offensive opportunities.

Liverpool used more crosses from the wing to try to pass the ball into the penalty area to find double strikers Balotelli and Sturridge.

The game has just begun, and Liverpool's offensive on the left is the first to start.

After attracting the Villa defensive line to lean to this side, Moreno completed the transfer of the ball on the left and accurately found the ball outside the large penalty area, near the center of Balotelli.

Balotelli jumped directly to the top of the ball and hit the ball on the right side.

Glen Johnson plugged in on the right. After receiving the ball, he did not adjust and sent a precise cross.

A quick, curved ball passed directly to the front point of Villa's small penalty area.

Sturridge jumped diagonally and shook his head to attack the goal, pushing towards the back point.

However, in the end, the angle of the ball was not controlled properly, and the football rebounded to the ground. In the case that Villa goalkeeper was unable to complete the save action, the ball almost flew out of the bottom line after the goal post.

Liverpool almost completed the opening blitz.

Sometimes good or bad luck determines the outcome of the game.

Before Liverpool, Sturridge's header was a bit different, but two minutes later, Villa fully showed what good luck is.

Villa seized Liverpool's midfield pass error and made a quick counterattack opportunity. Villa player's wing directly raised the ball, and Yang Feng, who was defended in place, directly stretched his leg to complete the destruction.

Yang Feng just gave Vera a corner kick.

But it was this corner kick that allowed Villa to lead the game.

A corner kick was taken and a header passed to the center of the penalty area. In the case of Gerrard and the opponent's midfielder Smith, both of them encountered football, which caused a change in football.

The ball bounced directly not far within the penalty area.

Everyone rushed to the ball's landing point, but Alabangho himself stood in the landing area.

Did not give Yang Feng and Scotter a chance to defend.

Straighten yourself sideways and shoot in the air.

Mignolet's reaction to the gods, this time facing such a close shot, there is no way.

The ball was swept directly by Alabangho to the dead corner in the lower right corner of the goal.

1 to 0!

Before Liverpool's offensive did not score a goal, Villa's first shot in the game directly scored the goal.

Alabangho madly celebrated with his teammates at Anfield Stadium. In the past season, this home is a nightmare for all the Premier League teams. Hopefully, it will be broken by a "civilian team" like Villa for more than one season. The undefeated golden body.

The opening game scored less than 10 minutes to get the leading Villa team and insisted on their defensive counterattack tactics.

All players returned to their own half, setting up one line of defense after another, making it more difficult for Liverpool to start offense.

Liverpool's offensive, facing Villa's iron barrel formation, has not played too much smooth attack at all.

Even looking back, at the beginning of the game, Sturridge's header was Liverpool's best scoring opportunity in the first half.

Throughout the first half, in the face of Villa's iron barrel formation, Liverpool has been unable to find a chance to create a threatening shot.

During the intermission, Rogers made quite bold tactical adjustments.

The midfielder directly replaced Aspers and added three forwards, hoping to break the defensive situation of Villa on the court.

However, with the increase in the number of forwards, there is not much way to really improve the offense.

Villa left enough players to pile up in the penalty area.

What about Liverpool?

Balotelli, Sturridge, Aspers, even Coutinho in midfield, Henderson and Gerrard are not the kind of players who are very good at topping.

When Liverpool’s central penetration is severely restricted, there are only two sides, relying on the full-back to kick the ball, but you can’t get past the Villa’s defense at all. Most of the passes are Villa defensive players successfully cleared the siege and did not allow Liverpool's offensive players to have the opportunity to shoot in the penalty area.

The game time is passing by a little bit, and Liverpool’s delay in breaking the deadlock at home has made the mentality of some Liverpool players have begun to become anxious.

Although Villa has 2 wins and 1 tie in the first three rounds of the season, and the points are higher than Liverpool, but this kind of non-six giants team, Liverpool did not look at at first.

Especially the Anfield Stadium, for Liverpool, is a place where Gods block and kill the gods, and the Buddha blocks and kills the Buddha. I didn't expect that Vera would really cause such a huge trouble for himself.

If the goal is not scored, everything is in vain. After 60 minutes of the game, Liverpool began to attack more vigorously.

Completely ignore the defense, is to try to equalize the score, or even overtake the score in the game.

The two full-backs began to play like wingers, and Yang Feng and Scott's double center-backs were constantly advancing to meet the teammates whose overall lineup was advanced.

It's just that, under the anxious mentality, there is a cooperation that is not too tacit, making Liverpool's offense not very well integrated.

The team consciously tried several collective offenses, but none of them achieved very good offensive effects. In the end, they could only fall into the previous mode of fighting separately.

In this kind of team crisis, everyone can only hope that someone can stand up and use their personal strength to save the team, so that the team's unbeaten home game for more than a year can continue.

Unfortunately, Liverpool has never appeared that hero.

Instead, it was Villa's counterattack, playing even more vigorously under the pressure of Liverpool.

In the whole game, Villa shots certainly did not have as many shots as Liverpool, but every shot of Villa was a very threatening offensive round, and for Liverpool, most of them were long shots without much threat.

After 70 minutes of the game, thanks to Liverpool's frantic attack, Villa's counterattack became more and more threatening.

It's just that Yang Feng, who is guarding Liverpool's defense, has really dazzled in this game.

No chance for the Villa team to fight back.

Or use the yellow card foul action, or directly complete the interception, steal, or after the opponent enters the dangerous area of ​​the penalty area, try their best to block some angles to reduce Minholet's defensive area.

In the second half, Yang Feng's defensive defensive work made the Villa team fail to score a goal to expand the score.

Let the game point difference has been stabilized by one goal, giving Liverpool the hope of recovering the score.

However, this time, the hope did not become a reality after all. In the case that the back line tried their best to ensure that Villa would not score again, Liverpool's offensive players did not knock on the door of the Villa team in the whole game.

Vera's performance is so good that he played a very representative game.

The undefeated home game that Liverpool has maintained for more than a year was broken.

After losing the game, Liverpool was once again subject to doubts.

Especially with regard to Liverpool, the voice of doubt about the ability to tackle tough problems has reached the maximum.

The offensive means of positional warfare, Liverpool are now extremely single.

Last season, the team cooperation within a small range has not been shown after Suarez left the team this season.

Although Liverpool's ability to counterattack has not declined, it has improved due to the growth of Sterling and others.

But if the deadlock cannot be broken and the lead is not achieved, where will there be a chance for a defensive counterattack?

In La Liga, Barcelona, ​​who got Suarez, was a big killer in La Liga, and the team's offensive firepower was further improved.

With Suarez's containment and passing, Messi's data is steadily rising. This also makes many fans miss Suarez and vent their anger to Liverpool's management and coaching staff.

"Why let Suarez go?"

After losing to Villa, some people even questioned that Liverpool, like Tottenham last year, sold core offensive players. Even if the team spends money to buy personnel, the competitiveness of the team has experienced a serious decline. , There is no offensive deterrence in the past.

In the renewed voice of doubt, the fifth round of the Liverpool League is an away challenge to West Ham United.

If the previous game against Villa, Liverpool can be said that the FIFA virus affected the players' performance.

In this away game against the "Hammers" West Ham United, Liverpool has been refurbished for a week, and the players should have been relieved from the fatigue of the national team game day.

However, what everyone did not expect was that Liverpool once again performed quite weakly in this game.

The biggest problem for the team is still the tacit coordination of the midfield and frontcourt.

This game ~www.readwn.com~ Rogers emphasized the cooperation of pass and cut, and began to limit offensive sideways.

However, Liverpool, whose main penetration is in the middle, is forcibly digging holes for its own defense.

With the increase in the number of passes in the middle, Liverpool's turnovers also began to increase.

Especially in the connection with new aid Balotelli, everyone still passes the ball in the way that Suarez is given, but Balotelli is obviously not adapted to such an offensive rhythm.

Passing could not form a match, but instead allowed the home team to increase the chance of stealing, which in turn directly threatened Liverpool's defense.

In the first half of the game, West Ham United relied on a counterattack and achieved a 2-0 lead.

It's not that Yang Feng didn't work hard, but the opponent counterattacked extremely fast, and even scored the second goal. After stealing the ball in the midfield, West Ham United directly formed a three-on-two situation.

And all the offensive points on Yang Feng's side are all feint attacks.

Without West Ham United players, on Yang Feng’s side, everyone passed the ball before Yang Feng rushed over, or simply didn’t even touch the ball, just running away from Yang Feng’s defense.

Two goals behind halftime, Rodgers had to make an offensive substitution adjustment in midfield.

Although Sturridge scored in 64 minutes, Liverpool saw the hope of winning points again.

However, West Ham United quickly countered in the 81st minute of the game, completely killing the suspense of the game.

3 to 1!

Liverpool suffered a two-game losing streak.

Liverpool, which won the championship with an unbeaten record last season, began to directly "pay its debts" this season.

Why has the strength of the team changed so much?

What happened to Liverpool?

Can the offensive problem be solved?
