ball at foot

While signing in, Liverpool also have to pay attention to the progress of the game.Although they won the FA Cup, not many people actually cared about it.After all, they played underdogs, and winning only proved a good attitude, not outstanding strength.After losing a main defensive midfielder, it is still hard to say how much their state will be left.

And the next game, Liverpool's game, is at home against Tottenham Hotspur.This game is also considered to be a game that will test their strength.

Tottenham's performance this season is quite good. After they introduced Davis, they formed an excellent backcourt combination of Davis and Carrick. Such a stable midfield allows them to play well in the league. Very good, now ahead of Arsenal, ranked fourth in the league.Although Arsenal has always been a strong team in the Premier League, and they never fell out of the top four when they were under Arsene Wenger, the problem is, looking at their unstable performance without Vieira this season , It's really hard to say that they will definitely be able to squeeze out Tottenham and get into the top four.Since Manchester United could be squeezed to third last season, why can't Arsenal be squeezed out of the top four?

At this time, for Tottenham, every point is very important, and they naturally hope to win the game against Liverpool to add a point for themselves to qualify for the Champions League.Especially now Liverpool, after lacking the main defensive midfielder, no longer conceded less than ten goals in the first half of the season. They are now conceding goals repeatedly in the game, even conceding goals against Luton. The problem in the defense is not small, and it naturally gives Tottenham a lot of motivation.

If even Luton can break through Liverpool's gate, why can't Tottenham? [

In the game, Tottenham sent their strongest lineup: their goalkeeper Robinson is the international of the British national team-although the least valuable of the England internationals is the goalkeeper.On the back line, Staltree is a Canadian international. Dawson and Ledley King are both very capable, but they are more injured central defenders and do not have many opportunities for the national team. It is also because of Campbell. , Ferdinand, Terry and Carragher are the main players of the four giants.And their right back Lee Young-pyo is also a South Korean international, and his strength is also considered outstanding. Last year's Champions League performance was eye-catching.On the midfield line, Carrick, Davis, Janus and Tenio are all very good players, and on the forward line are Robbie Keane and Defoe, and their strengths are also considered good.Almost every one of these people has had international football experience, and their level of strength is definitely not bad.

The strength of such a lineup can be described as quite outstanding.It is precisely because of this that they seized fourth place while their old rivals in north London were out.

On the Liverpool side, adjustments have also been made: Reina, Riise, Hyypia, Carragher, and Maicon's defense line remains unchanged, while in the midfield, Alonso's partner Gerrard serves as the midfielder. Zhao Yaning and Figo served on the two wings, and on the forward line, Milito and Fowler started.

After playing 451 for half a season, Liverpool began to play 442.The reason is very simple. In the next game, their opponent is Manchester United. Before this game, Liverpool needs to let Harman take a break to gather energy to deal with Manchester United.

And Vidic didn't play because his foul was considered a malicious foul by the Football Association, and a three-game suspension was added.In this way, Liverpool can only let him rest and let Hyypia play the main force.

In fact, even if there is no problem, Liverpool will plan to make a substitution.After all, Hypia's strength at this stage is still higher than that of Vidic. In important games, it is more suitable for Hypia to play.

In this game, although most people expected that Liverpool's defense might have problems, the game was controlled by Liverpool from the very beginning.

"Zhaochao was very active in this run, and I have to say that when Gerrard retreated to the midfielder position, he still played very well. Liverpool's offensive and defensive ends did not appear too much. Negligence, they still have an overwhelming advantage over Tottenham."

Martin Taylor was quite surprised by this. On the defensive end of Liverpool, it is understandable for Gerrard to do dirty work after he came back, but on the offensive end, Zhao Yaning almost covered both sides of the game with his own running. It's surprising that Liverpool didn't even drop their attack power with an attack from the wing.

Until this time, many people remembered that last season, Zhao Yaning relied on such offensive covering running to play.Since this season, he has played less like this, but it doesn't mean he won't play.This season, his attendance is the highest, and the distribution of physical strength is becoming more and more reasonable. However, when he needs to work hard, his running is not bad at all.

At the beginning of the game, after receiving a pass from the midfielder, Zhao Yaning also immediately turned around and launched an attack.Davis ran towards Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning deliberately controlled his speed, and when he was approaching, he suddenly took the ball a big step.Davis immediately kicked over with a tackle, Zhao Yaning poked the ball forward with one foot, and he also accelerated a step, throwing him away.

He has become more and more proficient in using such speed changes.Compared with other extraordinary moves, such a pure speed change, although it seems simple to the players, is actually a bit more difficult.

After passing Davis, Zhao Yaning judged the line and did not approach Carrick, but directly attacked the backcourt. Dawson rushed up, but Zhao Yaning kicked the ball while he was close to him. Picked into the restricted area.

Fowler got the ball and he kicked it towards the gate.Ledley King failed to defend in time, but Robinson relied on his own timely reaction to save the ball with a fall to the ground.

Liverpool did not score a goal, which made all the fans sigh.However, this goal also caused Tottenham to lose their enthusiasm at the beginning of the game, and they did not dare to attack excessively in this game.

And soon, Liverpool's attack directly overwhelmed the vicinity of the penalty area.Then, soon, Zhao Yaning rubbed a pass again and kicked the ball into the penalty area. Milito’s header went high, causing Liverpool to miss the opportunity again.

"Liverpool has gained a great advantage, but has not been able to grasp the opportunity very well..."

There is one less Gerrard in the frontcourt, and the difference is still very big.When Gerrard was there, after Liverpool gained the advantage, relying on Gerrard to open up space, Zhao Yaning could easily tear through the opponent’s defense and score goals for himself or the striker.But now, Gerrard has to go to the backcourt. Although Zhao Yaning can still suppress the attack near the opponent's penalty area, after all, it is not so easy to get in.

Tottenham's defense is very tight. Davies is already an excellent world-class midfielder. He has no foothold in Italy, and the giants are gone, but his running ability still exists, and he can still be used as two people in Tottenham.Although Carrick lacks running ability, he is quite good at defensive positioning.What's more, in their defense, the combination of Dawson and Ledley King can be said to be the top defense combination in the Premier League. When playing football, he is indeed a player with excellent strength who can defend the penalty area. [

This also made it extremely difficult for Zhao Yaning to make a hole in the defense.He kept running around the penalty area with the ball, trying to use his cruising to make the opponent's defense leak, but Davis followed him closely, not giving him a chance to take a long shot, and the opponent The back line of defense is extremely secure, without any flaws. This makes Zhao Yaning have been able to do anything although he has patrolled several times.

And it's not that he didn't think about dribbling the ball directly.However, it is too difficult to surpass people continuously in such a small range.

But in the second half of the first half, Zhao Yaning still found out how to play.He adjusted his position again, until he was on the right side of the center. At this time, Riise "cut in" to the left, and on the right, Zhao Yaning, Milito, and Figo established a passing cooperation.

When taking the ball again, Zhao Yaning ran a few steps towards the middle, and then kicked the ball to Figo behind him.He ran towards the middle of the penalty area, trying to tear apart the opponent's defense with his own running.However, his running position didn't play a big role, and after Figo saw that there was no passing line, he took the ball and ran to the top of the penalty area. When Davis approached Qian, he alone Turned around and kicked the ball to Zhao Yaning who had already run to the wing.

When Zhao Yaning received the ball, he kicked the ball directly to the middle.

Ledlikin pushed the ball away from Milito and headed it out, but Figo managed to grab the point and kicked the ball towards the goal.

Dawson blocked the ball in the crowd, but Zhao Yaning also ran to the penalty area to grab points. Taking advantage of the chaos in the penalty area, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball towards the goal again!

This time, the ball hit Ledley King, and Ledley King kicked the ball in a panic, changing the course of the ball, but kicked the ball into the goal!

"Own goal! In the opening 30 minutes, Ledlikin scored an own goal! This is really tragic enough, Tottenham's defense is in place, they could have defended Liverpool, and they basically did, but they did. There is no one who can guard against us!"

Zhao Yaning and Figo also hugged and celebrated.Liverpool is short of manpower now, and there is really no way to tear apart the opponent's defense.Tottenham was able to score a goal. Although the goal was a bit of a fluke, it is also very fortunate.

It seems that Liverpool's old problems have not been completely solved. The lineup is not thick enough, and the ability to attack intensive defenses is insufficient. This style of play is still a problem that Liverpool has to face.

After leading 1-0, Zhao Yaning also breathed a sigh of relief.If it is still impossible to win in the second half, the only way he can think of is to forcefully break into the penalty area.

However, at the beginning of the second half, Zhao Yaning couldn't laugh immediately: Tottenham scored in just one minute of the opening.

Carrick took advantage of a free-kick and sent the ball into the penalty area. Dawson scored a header from ten yards in front of the goal and broke the goal of Liverpool.

I still haven't guarded it. In what game has Liverpool conceded goals in a row?Zhao Yaning couldn't help but gritted his teeth.It seems that you still have to come by yourself.
