Football’s First Defender

Chapter 698: Goal difference

   For Liverpool, after their home victory over "Black Cat" Sunderland, the atmosphere in the team has returned to normal. Everyone has come out of the low mood of losing against Leicester City a few days ago.

Although it may no longer have the initiative to compete for the championship, as long as Liverpool can do a good job and have an outstanding performance in the subsequent schedule, it may not be impossible to win in a "parallel competition" with other teams. The final victory.

   Anyway, Klopp doesn't believe these top-ranked teams can really end this season with a wave of victories.

   After a week of dressing, Liverpool challenged Aston Villa away.

   After a difficult month of schedule, Liverpool’s league schedule in February was fairly easy.

   After beating the "Black Cat" Sunderland at home, Liverpool is now facing away to Aston Villa, the deputy squad leader of the league.

   Vera's record this year is horrible. After 25 rounds, he only scored 16 points. There is still an 8 point gap from the relegation zone.

   Although there is still a theoretical possibility of relegation, with Vera's performance so far that he can't even get one point in every game, he may still return to the British Championship this year.

   The home record, Villa can only be said to be quite bad, 2 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses, but only 10 points, ranking first from the bottom in the Premier League.

   At home, they couldn't win the game, mainly because of Villa's poor offensive ability.

In 12 home games in the Premier League, a total of 10 goals were scored, averaging less than 1 goal per game. Although the team conceded only 11 goals per game, such poor offensive ability is the most The concentrated manifestation is the team. In some games, even if they sit at home, they can't score 3 points.

   1 game of victory in points but top 3 draws, but finally faced with some mid-lower teams, Aston Villa was unable to win even.

   Liverpool, who played away, Coutinho made a comeback in this game, but Lallana was on the injury list again.

   After all, in the long season, the players bump into each other, and it is inevitable that various injuries will occur during the game.

   In many cases, as long as the injury does not affect the player's field performance, fighting with injuries is a normal state for players.

But for today’s Klopp, facing the bottom of the standings, he is confident and has the capital to give the main players more rest time, so that they can recover from injuries and adjust their status. After preparing for the more important game.

   In this game, Liverpool fine-tuned the lineup.

In the formation of   442, the double striker is Sturridge's partner Firmino.

   Although Sturridge has been affected by injuries this season and his competitive form is not as good as before, Klopp still hopes that he can quickly recover. In that case, Liverpool's striker selection and offensive ability will be stronger.

   Even though Sturridge is in a bad state, Klopp prefers to use Sturridge compared to Benteke in terms of trust.

   This is the factor of player style.

Although Benteke comes off the bench and sometimes can play a huge frontcourt fulcrum role, but Klopp knows that this kind of play can only be done for a short period of time. It is done by the team with the help of the previous defensive energy of the opponent. .

   In the few games of Benteke and daily training games, it can be seen that his damage to the team's overall offense is considerable.

   Playing for 20 to 30 minutes, Benteke can also take advantage of the decline of the opponent's defensive player in the final moments and have a very good performance.

   But if this playing time extends to the whole game, then it will definitely do more harm than good for Liverpool.

   You are the main player of Benteke, so the team's offense must use the wing as a breakthrough to achieve support for Benteke, causing other offensive players such as long shots and forward attack characteristics to be unable to play.

   Without hitting his side, Benteke's speed is a huge damage to the team's passing control system.

   So even if Benteke keeps asking for a fight, wants to play, and even threatens to transfer and leave, Klopp has always used him

All tend to send him out in the final stage.

   Even with Benteke’s worth, there are some "disqualifications" in this work, but Klopp still insists.

   If Benteke really wants to leave the team, he also needs to find a suitable forward candidate in Liverpool in the summer.

   At least the current record of the team is pretty good, and they still have the hope of winning the title. Even the top of Liverpool can only grit their teeth and insist on Klopp's use of Benteke.

Liverpool’s 442 lineup, in the deployment of 4 midfielders, Coutinho is of course a well-deserved left midfielder, and today, in order to rehearse the team’s defensive situation, it is also to try not to cooperate with Jordan Iby, Klopp Milner was transferred to the right to act as a midfielder on the right.

  The midfielder double midfielder is Emre James and Henderson.

Recently, Emre Can, a young midfielder who also comes from the Bundesliga, is highly regarded by Klopp. He and Henderson and Milner have similar roles. They are both offensive and defensive midfielders. It gave Liverpool the tactics at both ends of the stadium and provided better protection.

  Milner is definitely a treasure for Liverpool to sign-free this offseason.

  Although he is not a direct player of Klopp, Milner's jackpot attributes and his fighting spirit on the field make Klopp very fond of him.

In the midfield, on the left, on the right, Klopp will place Milner wherever he is missing. From the effect of the game, Milner played quite well in every position and can always play Own value.

Although Milner was unable to make a breakthrough from the right side of the attack and could not play a wonderful side attack like an orthodox winger, his excellent passing ability could still be sent from the right side to the penalty area. The precise passing of the ball allowed Firmino and Sturridge's double forward to grab points. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm

   The lack of Lallana and the lack of an organizer in the midfield also perfectly solved the problem of Yang Feng, who was mentioned in the midfield on the offensive end.

   For Yang Feng, in this game, there is not so much defensive pressure, so he can move forward in the game to deliver passes for his teammates.

   is not only the transfer-like pass that resembles the midfielder, occasionally Yang Feng will send an overhead pass, directly threatening the opponent's penalty area.

Aston Villa wanted to play some effect at home, but in the 12th minute of the game, Yang Feng made an over-the-top pass and accurately penetrated the home team's defense. Sturridge's anti-offside cut forward and went directly in the penalty area. A volley shot broke the deadlock for Liverpool.

After   , the game was much simpler. The Liverpool players, in the away game, faced an opponent who had to attack, and played quite easily.

   Before the end of the half game, Firmino and Milner scored a goal each, extending the score to 3-0.

   In the second half of the game, Yang Feng once again took a corner kick and scored with a header, hitting his recent scoring drought, giving Liverpool a 4-goal lead.

   Later, Sturridge and Firmino both scored twice, and Liverpool scored a 6-goal away victory.

   Two rounds of matches, with a goal difference of 11 goals. In the two underdogs, enough goal difference was brushed to ensure that if the final league reached the relief of the goal difference, Liverpool would not suffer so much.
