Chapter 831 Bat Army [Part [-]]

Now, although Soldado has not yet reached his peak, he played 34 times in La Liga last season, scored [-] goals and contributed [-] assists.In fact, if it weren't for the presence of Messi and Ronaldo, a striker like Soldado could basically be the top three in the competition for the La Liga Golden Boot every season.

In the Champions League, Soldado's performance last season was even more shocking. He played seven times and only started four times, scoring six goals!
This is a veritable super shooter!

And it's not the kind of super shooter who is only good at abusing dishes, he is a super shooter who can stand the test on the big scene.

Soldado will be the biggest test of Liverpool's weak defense.

…………

Against Valencia, it is very important to choose a central defender partner.

Among them, Varane occupies one of the main positions.In fact, in Li Wei's eyes, Varane's performance is not so good, but Varane is currently the most stable performance among all Liverpool's central defenders, and he can be regarded as the tallest among the short ones.

Among the other central defenders, Carragher has lost the trust of Levi. Carragher, who performed well in the Community Shield Cup, did not know why his state plummeted. Recently, he even sent two penalties in a row.Among other central defenders, Papastathopoulos performed relatively well, but Papastathopoulos is always in a bad state. Li Wei often wants to give opportunities to young players like Feng Xiaoting, Stones and Kyle Bartley. central defender.Not only because of the status of Papastathopoulos, but also because of Li Wei's training of young players. After all, even last season, Boateng and Carragher, the central defenders, could not be full-time. Both Gallas and Agger were able to get the chance to play.

In the end, Li Wei chose Varane to partner with Stones, hoping that this team of young players can give Li Wei a satisfactory performance.

…………

On September 28, in the second round of the Champions League group stage, Valencia played against Liverpool at home.

At the Mestalla Stadium, today there are no seats left, full of Spanish fans supporting the Bat Legion.

The Bat Corps has sent an all-main lineup, and the Red Army Liverpool is naturally not to be outdone.

The game was just as Li Wei expected. Valencia was not easy to deal with. Both sides were very cautious in the first half, and there were not many chances to score goals. In the end, no one was able to grasp the few opportunities. The first half was 0: 0 flat.

After Li Weiluo hesitated during the halftime break, he made adjustments to strengthen the attack!
Although Liverpool is not unable to accept a draw, but now that the schedule is so dense, Li Wei wants to end the suspense of Liverpool qualifying in the Champions League group stage as soon as possible.Liverpool will have six points after winning Valencia.

In the last round of the group match, Valencia was tied at home by Genk Football Club, and both sides scored one point.

Now the match between Leverkusen and Genk Football Club has been 1:0 in the first half. If there is no accident, Leverkusen should win.

Suppose that in the second round, Liverpool wins Valencia and Leverkusen wins Genk.

The standings in Group E will become Liverpool (6 points), Bayer Leverkusen (3 points), Valencia (1 point), Genk Football Club (1 point).Although it is not enough to say that Liverpool has locked a qualifying spot, Liverpool's situation in the group stage will become very loose.

What's more, Liverpool's opponent in the third round is Genk Football Club, which is recognized as the weakest in the group stage. After winning this former satellite club, Liverpool has basically locked in a place to appear.To a certain extent, more energy can be put on domestic leagues and cups.

The second half of the game began, and Li Wei's adjustments soon paid off.

In 1 minute, Liverpool advanced quickly in the frontcourt, Hazard made a cross from the right, and Suarez outflanked the header from the center. Unfortunately, Valencia goalkeeper Alves made a world-class save and blocked the football near the goal line.

Suarez knelt on the turf with a look of annoyance.

He thought he was going in!I didn't expect Alves to be even more powerful!

However, Liverpool's offensive improvement has also paid the price of weakened defense. Just 1 minute later, Valencia launched an attack that almost made Liverpool lose the ball.

Chilean Pablo Hernandez got rid of Nainggolan's defense on the right and made a cross at the first time. Soldado headed the goal and Neuer blocked it, but the football remained Flying towards the goal, Varane made a rescue near the goal line and vigorously pushed the football out of the penalty area.

It scared Levi into a cold sweat. If it weren't for Varane's key top, Liverpool would have fallen behind.

It seems that not only Levi has made adjustments to strengthen the offense, but Valencia has also made similar adjustments.

But like Liverpool, Valencia paid a defensive price.

In 9 minutes, Liverpool scored with a more powerful attack.

Neymar and Suarez cooperated. After entering the Valencia penalty area, they passed the two consecutively. They suddenly passed the ball in an inverted triangle near the bottom line. The football was sent to the unguarded Nainggolan. A wonderful pass, pushing the shot from a close corner without any defense. Valencia goalkeeper Alves, who had been extremely brave before this time, failed to continue to contribute to the save. The football flew into the goal, and Alves reacted , turned to look at the football behind him.

Only 2 minutes later, Valencia took the initiative to make a substitution adjustment, which is a typical substitution to strengthen the offense.

Levi made adjustments accordingly, with Eden Hazard off and defensive midfielder Charlie Adam coming on as a substitute.

There is no doubt that after holding a ball in hand, Liverpool does not need to continue to sacrifice defense to strengthen offense. On the contrary, what Liverpool should play most is defensive counterattack.Although the game will become worse because of this, what Liverpool are pursuing now should not be beautiful, but pragmatic.

Liverpool's defense can't stand the toss of beautiful football.

No.803 minutes, Li Wei made the third substitution adjustment. He replaced Nainggolan who scored a goal and replaced Carragher.Carragher does not play in midfield, he plays as a central defender, and Varane plays as a midfielder.

Varane has played five or six games as a midfielder in Ligue [-], and his performance is also remarkable.

And Li Wei's lineup does not allow Varane to really play as a midfielder. This is a 4-4-2 formation that is close to five defenders. His defensive thickness is enough to make Valencia's offensive players feel powerless.

Varane is actually a pseudo midfielder, and Liverpool will become a five-back when defending.
