ball at foot

After the game with Manchester United, Liverpool ushered in the next opponent, which is Birmingham.

In terms of strength, Liverpool is of course stronger than Birmingham.But when it comes to last season's record, Liverpool has no advantage.Stealing the rich and helping the poor Liverpool can be regarded as a spectacle of the Premier League last season.

But this season, Liverpool is obviously not going to continue to steal from the rich and give to the poor.Since you want to win the league championship, you must be stable when playing against weak teams. Otherwise, how can you win in the long-distance race?

In this game, Liverpool also made a rotation: Garcia replaced Figo so that he could stay strong for the midweek Champions League game.

And the progress of the game was unexpectedly smooth.Less than a minute after the start of the game, Zhao Yaning was brought to the ground by Birmingham defender Cunningham, and Liverpool got a free kick. [

"We've played seven rounds this season, and Zhao Yaning still didn't score a free kick. Let's see how this goes... The free kick is back, Hyypia! The goal is scored!!!!! In the first minute, Hyypia's goal!!!! Liverpool's set-piece scores!"

Hyypia happily hugged every teammate who came up to congratulate him, and scored a goal right after the game started, which couldn't be better.

"It seems that Zhao Yaning now prefers to pass free kicks into the penalty area, letting the defenders fight for the top instead of doing it alone. This is better, and it may make Liverpool score more goals. Benitez He is a coach who pays great attention to set-piece offense. The Valencia he coached did not have any special free-kick players, but they have always been a team that scored a lot of set-piece goals. Let us see, under his leadership, Can Liverpool have a better set piece attack..."

While Martin Taylor was still talking, Liverpool had already launched a second attack.This time, Zhao Yaning directly chose to go to the bottom on the left, and then, after getting rid of a simple spike, he passed the ball into the penalty area.Milito is facing the football, and it will be a header immediately after catching up!

"gooool!!!! In the first 5 minutes, Liverpool scored the second goal! It was unbelievably fast!"

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also very happy to read the full text.In the last game, when he played against Manchester United, relying on his own breakthrough, he caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.And this game, from the very beginning, he was thinking about adjusting his playing style. As Benitez said, this kind of opponent is not a very strong game. Mobilize teammates.After all, football is a team sport, and only when the teammates play well can the team play well.Moreover, no matter how strong I am, I can't guarantee that I will be able to match every critical moment. Only when my teammates are strong and they can stand up when they need help can they make the league results more stable.

And the results of his experiment are obviously very good. Liverpool's players are not weak. If they are given more opportunities, they can do better.

Liverpool's strength is very strong, but no matter how strong the team is, they must constantly tap their potential to make the team stronger.What Zhao Yaning is doing now is how to dig out the team's other offensive routines to make the team stronger.

Liverpool's current lineup, although the substitute lineup is not too thick, but the starting lineup is indeed good enough.And Benitez's tactical thinking is very good: Liverpool's eleven players are all over 180m tall, full of strength and stature, and are absolutely not afraid of any team in terms of confrontation.In terms of technology, although there is still a gap with extremely technical teams like Milan, they can still gain the upper hand compared to most of the Premier League teams. , and there are not many teams. In the entire Premier League, except for Chelsea, they really have no opponents to speak of.

Of course, what they need is still a very important thing: they need someone to connect them.

In fact, modern football has developed to this day, and in many cases, organizing the midfielder is a new thing that has emerged as the times require.Compared with the previous era, modern football has a faster rhythm and requires more offensive and defensive transition passes at the first time. Therefore, it has extremely high requirements for the ability of the midfielder to play the ball. At the same time, because modern football Increased running, more pressing and stronger confrontation. Those frontcourt players who rely on technology for food and are thin often find it difficult to hold the ball. Give the ball to the backcourt players to make those backcourt players stronger , and players who face fewer pressures take a lot of the ball, and the frontcourt players run more balls, which becomes a good way to reduce mistakes.

The organizational midfielder came into being, and the reason why Pirlo is considered to have changed the history of football is precisely because of this: his appearance has given a new way of thinking about relying on technology to fight against the body.The four talented midfielders before him are also excellent technical players, but their tasks are still steals, counterattacks, forward runs, and long pass assists.But the appearance of Pirlo made the midfielder play differently. His task is: to take the ball, control the rhythm, master the team's pressure and contraction, and at the same time organize and launch attacks.

What he did was basically to rearrange the tasks of the front midfielder's organization, which was beyond the reach of anyone before him.

Compared with Pirlo, Alonso may not be as conscious, but he is definitely one of the top three midfielders in the world.His excellent overall view and awareness allow him to take the ball, pass the ball, and organize well.His weakness is that he is not good at getting rid of and can't complete the task of inserting well, but his advantage is that his defense is also strong enough to undertake part of the defensive task.Half organization, half defense, he can take on some of these two tasks.

No matter which team he is in, he should be a core playmaker.But in Liverpool, he now has two ways of playing.

When encountering a weak team, he really played the role of the playmaker.What Zhao Yaning is responsible for is to rely on his running position and deterrence to create threats in the frontcourt, and then let the team get a chance.But when it came time to play against a strong team, Alonso took the initiative to reduce organization and scheduling, and as the hub of offensive and defensive transitions, he was responsible for handing the ball to Zhao Yaning as soon as possible.As for the organization, it is still handed over to Zhao Yaning.

The reason for this is also very simple: although it is also able to hold the ball, pass the ball, and complete organizational tasks.But Zhao Yaning's range of activities is the range of 15 meters to 25 meters in front of the penalty area, while Alonso's range of activities is near the midfield.This is an unchanging truth. Zhao Yaning can hold the ball in the frontcourt, which means that he can find more opportunities in the frontcourt. Once the fleeting opportunities appear, Those who are closer to the goal are always easier to grasp.Against strong teams, more chances mean more chances of scoring, and this cannot be changed.

But against Manchester United, Zhao Yaning needed to attack at the expense of four or five tackles, but when he met Birmingham, it was unnecessary to play like this.Facing such a team, Alonso is enough as an organizer.

But now, Alonso is also trying to make some new attempts, which is to let two people play more roles at the same time. [

After all, Zhao Yaning's ability to handle the ball is superior to others, and in the frontcourt, his ability to make the last pass is also superior to others.When he gets the ball, many bad chances can become good, and the attack can be smoother, which makes Alonso willing to hand the ball directly to him to deal with-this kind of complementarity between the front and back makes Liverpool's The attack can become much smoother.The two cores are better able to play together.Otherwise, it would always be a bit wasteful to simply run one core effect and another person play a supporting role.

However, such a change has to come slowly, from single-core to dual-core, it is not so easy to be overly successful.Fortunately, the two of them already have a tacit understanding, and it won't take a long time to find the most suitable rhythm.

Liverpool's oppression of Birmingham was not over yet, and towards the end of the first half, Liverpool finally found another chance.

After Alonso passed the ball to Zhao Yaning on the left, Zhao Yaning began to run across the top of the penalty area.After cooperating with Gerrard to complete a two-for-one, after reaching the right, he still didn't see any chances on the opponent's back line. They looked at themselves very badly, whether it was attacking or passing.He gave the ball to Garcia on the wing with one kick, and then pointed to Alonso who inserted in the back.While Garcia gave the ball to Alonso, Gerrard also ran out of position on the left side of the penalty area.

Alonso passed the ball directly to Gerrard's feet.

Lift your foot and shoot!

"Gooool!!! Liverpool's third goal!!! Stephen Gerrard! Still a violent long-range shot, still so pleasing to the eye! Liverpool lead by three goals, and their advantage is even bigger!"

Although it was a three-goal lead, but this time, Martin Taylor did not shout that he had won.The impact of last year's Champions League final was not just as simple as a game.

This goal made Zhao Yaning also very happy: in addition to scoring and assisting, he can also do other things.Just like just now, attracting the defense at the front of the penalty area and creating opportunities for teammates, this is a very good effect.

In the second half, Liverpool's attack started again, and this time, it was Riise who launched the attack.After he plugged in on the left, Zhao Yaning went down, he cut inside, and at the same time gave the ball to Zhao Yaning. During the impact, Riise chose to raise his foot, and 30 meters away, he suddenly kicked the door!

"John Riise scored again! Liverpool is obviously prepared today! 4-0! Zhao Yaning has already completed three assists in the 10th and 10th minute of the game! The game is only [-] minutes old, we still have time, let us Let's see if he can do something else!"

At this time, the singing of Liverpool fans had already resounded throughout the stadium.Although this is an away game, although they are not the masters here, their players are using their efforts to conquer these other lands.

At this time, another attack from Liverpool also came.Gerrard was fouled by an opponent's player in the tackle, Liverpool won a free kick.

Both Carragher and Hyypia ran to the frontcourt to grab points. At this time, Liverpool fans, you all celebrated in advance as if you saw a penalty kick.

It is impossible to let the fans' celebration be in vain. Zhao Yaning only took a run-up step and kicked the ball out.

The ball went high, and the pass was far away... Goalkeeper Mike Taylor looked at Hyypia, not daring to relax at all.However, the football suddenly fell sharply and went directly towards the goal.

Damn shot!McTaylor rushed forward suddenly, but he was already a step behind.The ball spins into the net and Liverpool score again!

"5-0!!!!!! Zhao Yaning scored the first free kick of the season! It seems that he has not forgotten how to score a free kick! Liverpool's big lead, they proved that with Zhao Yaning, they are rivals Strong team!"
