ball at foot

On August [-]th, Liverpool finally ushered in the Champions League play-off against Shakhtar Donetsk.

As the champion of the Ukrainian Super League, Shakhtar Donetsk's strength is quite good.But this is not bad, and it also scores with whom to compare.

If it is said that they met other teams, they may still have some possibility of successfully qualifying for the main match.But what they encountered was Liverpool.

After all, Liverpool is a giant in Europe. Moreover, among the teams participating in the play-offs this time, Liverpool's European war points rank first. They are recognized as one of the strongest teams. Although the champion of the Ukrainian Super League is very strong, but Compared with Liverpool, the strength gap between them is still very large.

Although the game was away, but soon after the start, Liverpool took the initiative on the field.Compared with last year's jerky at the beginning of the league, this year's Liverpool has improved a lot in terms of cooperation. [

And Benitez's idea also played a good role.When he can’t pass the ball, he will hand it over to Zhao Yaning. Zhao Yaning’s possession of the ball will not cause any problems in the frontcourt, which will greatly reduce the turnover rate. This way of playing allows Liverpool to quickly control the situation.In less than 10 minutes, Liverpool had completely overwhelmed the midfielder and began to play around the penalty area.

Zhao Yaning reduced the dribbling time and breakthrough distance in the game, but, as arranged in the tactics, his role became more obvious.

The ribs of the penalty area have always been the most dangerous area.Zhao Yaning’s continuous movement in this position is enough to make the opponent’s full-back and central defender pay enough attention to him at the same time, and if a ball player attracts the opponent’s defensive force, then the team’s offense will naturally be easy to open up.

Moreover, what's more, Zhao Yaning's skills are good enough after all, and it is extremely fast for him from running the ball to breaking through with the ball.He can stop the ball at the first time, and then he can launch an attack directly. Such conditions allow him to launch an attack at any time according to his own ideas.

In the No.209 minute, Liverpool scored their first goal.After Zhao Yaning received the ball with his back near the small penalty area, he immediately wiped the ball with his left foot and turned around, entering the penalty area.Facing the defensive defense of two people, Zhao Yaning dunked the ball one step behind him, then turned around, took two quick steps to the side, then turned around suddenly, raised the high ball and rubbed it straight to the back.

Milito met his pass, made a beautiful charge, and pushed the ball into the goal.

"Nice blow!"

The narrator couldn't help shouting.

From Zhao Yaning receiving the ball to launching an attack and scoring a goal, it took less than ten seconds, and one attack was completed.

But the attack is far from over.

Soon, Liverpool's attack was launched again.This time, Zhao Yaning ran to the middle and Gerardella went to the side.After getting the ball, Zhao Yaning ran laterally along the front of the penalty area.His running drove the defense of the entire back line, and he tore a huge hole in the protection of the back line. At this time, Zhao Yaning turned his back at the front of the penalty area and gave the ball with one kick. Alonso in the back row.

Alonso slammed the goal vigorously, and the football flew straight into the dead corner and flew into the net!

This is how to kick - Zhao Yaning thought in his heart.

In the second half, Shakhtar Donetsk made some adjustments and tried to launch a counterattack.Their defense came out and they started trying to get the football away from Liverpool by being aggressive in midfield.

This hindered Liverpool's attack, but it did not cause much trouble.After Shakhtar Donetsk came out, Zhao Yaning also moved from the wing to the center. This time, he replaced Gerrard, and he began to rely on a large retreat to help the team control the ball.

Shakhtar Donetsk's counter-robbing advantage had not maintained the advantage for 5 minutes, and it was completely disrupted by Zhao Yaning's retreat to control the ball.

And after passing a few times with Alonso, after controlling the situation on the field and it was no longer dangerous, when Zhao Yaning received the ball again, he directly kicked the ball to Figo on the right.Figo didn't even stop the ball, and kicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

Zhao Yaning, who plugged in at high speed, ran directly to the first point of the ball.Facing the ball still in the air, he lifted his right foot and made a gesture to catch the ball and shoot, which made the opponent's defender immediately tackle the ball.However, Zhao Yaning raised his right foot and took a big step forward. At the same time, he stretched his left shoulder forward, stopped the ball forward, and passed the opponent's defender directly.

At this time, the goalkeeper also rushed out, but Zhao Yaning took a step with his right foot and stood firm. When his left foot was stretched out, he lobbed lightly with the instep of his outer foot and lobbed the ball past the goalkeeper! [

"Liverpool scored the third goal! They have completely defeated their opponents! Zhao Yaning's performance is blameworthy. Liverpool is away and completely defeated their opponents!"

In the first game of the season, Liverpool scored an impeccable victory.The beating of the red clothes in the stands seemed to indicate that this season, Liverpool ushered in, it must be a season as dazzling as flames.

------------------------------

After the game against Shakhtar Donetsk, Liverpool also ushered in the first round of the league against Middlesbrough.

If the game against Shakhtar Donetsk was just a warm-up before the league, this game is the official start of the league.

Last season, Middlesbrough played quite well against Liverpool. Their home game relied on Downing's outstanding performance to beat Liverpool 2-0.At that time, people didn't pay attention to that game, but as Liverpool won the European Championship, Middlesbrough's net worth also increased significantly. Downing was even dubbed a Liverpool killer by the media.

However, there was too much publicity in the English media, and all kinds of newcomers emerged one after another, but these newcomers were all forgotten afterward.Even the name Liverpool Killer was shared by Joe Cole, Crouch and Downing. No one could remember who Middlesbrough's Downing was until the time of the match against Liverpool.

But the first league game of the year, Liverpool against Middlesbrough, made Middlesbrough very excited.

"Last year we played against them not badly." Tangning expressed her opinion to the media, "Liverpool only played well when they played against Milan. Other times, they didn't do so well."

In this case, it just made the Liverpool players sneer: It's as if you have seen how we play when Liverpool's main players are all there.But after playing against our semi-disabled and exhausted lineup, and winning a game by luck, did you start to be so smug?

And when the game started, Liverpool immediately began to attack frantically.

This Liverpool team is completely different from last season's Liverpool.Last season, they were still a team based on defense and playing counterattacks. Now they have started to rely on the midfield to fight and start a half-court oppressive attack.

After Gerrard mentioned the frontcourt, people have already expected that Liverpool's way of playing is very likely to move towards the frontcourt counterattack.But at this time, what people still can't believe is: Liverpool's frontcourt counterattack is fierce, but their midfield interception is equally terrifying!

That guy called Mohamed Sissoko is a total monster, he runs, tackles, fights, intercepts, Middlesbrough attack, gets stopped when he gets near him, he's one man in the middle , almost no one can break through.

Middlesbrough has no shortage of good players. Their striker Hasselbaink was once the winner of the Premier League Golden Boot, and his striker partner is the new star Yakub bought by Middlesbrough for 750 pounds. .

On the midfield line, they also have Tang Ning and other players. It can be said that their strength is very good. However, when they are facing Liverpool now, they are so forced that they can hardly even pass the midfield.

The trio of Gerrard, Alonso and Sissoko swept through the midfield, completely overwhelming Middlesbrough.

But Liverpool's attack came very quickly.Only 10 minutes into the game, Liverpool ushered in a chance.

Zhao Yaning retreated from the left. After receiving a pass from Sissoko, he did not choose to insert himself. Instead, he made a long pass and gave the ball to Figo on the right.Figo took a few steps to control the belt, and after shaking his opponent away, he made a high pass and sent the ball directly into the penalty area.

Milito did not choose to hit the goal immediately. He jumped up at the near point and made a transition to the far point.Zhao Yaning, who had already rushed up, received the ball from a far point and was less than ten meters away from the gate. Without much hesitation, he shot a near corner and kicked the ball into the gate.

"Zhao Zhaogao's first shot after the opening! He broke through Middlesbrough's goal and also scored Liverpool's first league goal of the season!"

Simple and easy goals.Zhao Yaning was also surprised by this goal.Sure enough, after giving up a lot of dribbling attacks, his own offense became stronger.His ball is inserted faster and the threat is not small. When the team has multiple attack points, it will become stronger. [

After scoring this goal, just 5 minutes later, Liverpool ushered in another opportunity.This time, after Alonso passed the ball to Figo, Figo was brought down by his opponent and got a free kick for Liverpool.

"Luis Figo played extremely well in this game, and he really deserves to be Mr. Football. He replaced a large part of Zhao Yaning's ball-holding time, and shared a lot of Zhao Yaning's regular dribbling work. This makes Zhao Yaning no longer have to face a lot of pressing and blocking all the time, he can move calmly, and the breakthrough distance becomes shorter when necessary, which makes Liverpool stronger.”

While the commentator was still explaining, Zhao Yaning had already taken a free kick.Carragher, who was originally at the back point, ran towards the middle, which made the defensive players at the back point follow along.But Gerrard, who was near the penalty spot, ran to the back point. He rushed forward two steps, a lion shook his head, and smashed the ball towards the goal!

"Gooool!!!!!! Stephen Gerrard! A very imposing header! Liverpool scored another goal and took the lead with a score of 2-0!" The commentator didn't make up for the second half until this time In other words, "It also gave him more physical strength and energy to mobilize the offense and make this team a better whole."
