ball at foot

Liverpool have played against Bundesliga teams this season and last season, but when they played against Bayern, they quickly realized that Bayern Munich is very different from other Bundesliga teams.

Whether it is Leverkusen or Werder Bremen, although their strength is slightly weaker, their overall skills and tactics are all very suitable for offense.When playing against Liverpool, although their defense was full of loopholes played by Liverpool, their own offense also posed a big threat to Liverpool.

But this Bayern team is different.Their attack is not much stronger than that of Bremen and Leverkusen. It can even be said that it is slightly weaker than the attack line of Bremen led by Klose. However, their excellent defense, But it was enough to surprise even Liverpool.

The hardness of their defense is absolutely world-class.Ballack, Hargreaves, Jerry Mays and even Schweinsteiger in the midfield will all be very good defensive players. They can well protect Bayern's defense from directly facing the opponent's attack, and On the defensive line, Ismail and Demichelis are both very good defensive players. They are not as easy to break as the defense of other Bundesliga teams. When facing strong opponents, at least they will not was pierced immediately.They don't have the problem of too weak defense that is common in the Bundesliga.Relying on the entanglement of Hargreaves, Jeremys and Ballack, they can be considered to contain Zhao Yaning's attack, making Liverpool's attack not effective.

But their attack is very simple and direct-they are used to attacking on the two wings, with a pair of exceptional full-backs like Sagnol and Lizarazu, their wings are inserted There are a lot of assists.In the middle, Ma Kai's ability to grab points and Ballack's ability to insert in the back row are also brought into full play with the support of the wing. Although the tactics are simple, they are indeed very practical to play. [

In Liverpool's game, Maicon suffered a suspension due to the accumulation of yellow cards.Although Riise and Finnan's skills are not bad, they are not as good as Lizarazu and Sagnol, two mature guys. Not long after the game started, both sides fell into a downturn .

But even so, Bayern's attack did not have any good results, and their mid-lane strength is too far behind Liverpool.The game between the two sides has always been deadlocked.

After Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he just rushed forward with the ball a few steps, when he was entangled by the opponent's Jeremys.Zhao Yaning tried to shake him twice, but he didn’t shake him away. At this time Barack also ran over, Zhao Yaning could only give the ball to Figo with one kick.

But at this time, Hargreaves made a tackle and got the ball to his feet before Figo touched it.

Zhao Yaning sighed and invested in the counter-robbery: The schedule is too tight, and almost every game is a fierce battle, which makes it difficult for Liverpool’s main players to get a rest.Zhao Yaning is okay to say, but it is difficult for Gerrard, who plays football with a wide range of running, and Figo, who is already 34 years old, to withstand such an intense game.

In this game, Liverpool's frontcourt generally played very sluggishly, and their running was not active enough, which is one of the reasons why they have not been able to open up the situation so far.

In this game, Bayern arranged for Jeremiah to defend Zhao Yaning, and the idea of ​​letting Hargreaves and Ballack help defend is also very good-Jeremes is no younger than when he was younger, in 02 After the World Cup, he began to decline. In 04, he played in the European Cup, but his performance was not very good.If the physical strength drops, the defensive ability will inevitably drop, which is a flaw.

However, his task in this game is to mark Zhao Yaning. He does not need him to be responsible for the transition of offense and defense, nor does he need to go forward to break through.The toughness and toughness of this player allow him to complete this job well. After all, he is the one who dares to shout at Vieira, "Our center line is your bottom line". Although he is not strong enough, he Tenacity and hard work, but he never lagged behind.

On the other hand, Hargreaves, who is named on the left, and Schweinsteiger, who is named on the right, kept in for him to sweep the backcourt, control the flanks, and interrupt coordination. With Ballack's support from time to time, they did successfully guard Zhao Yaning.

"Liverpool is still affected by the horrible schedule." Seeing Liverpool's delay in starting the game, Martin Taylor still commented on them, "It seems that they are really tired. For oppression In terms of the way of playing football, the most important thing is the protection of physical strength. And now Liverpool, physical problems directly lead to their lack of counter-attacks in the frontcourt, which makes their overall performance decline."

"Yes... But to be honest, Zhao Yaning was a bit sluggish in this game, which is rare. I always thought that his physical strength would never be afraid of any confrontation."

"Physical fatigue is easy to deal with, but the main reason is that psychological fatigue is not easy to deal with. So many games in a row are against strong opponents, and you have to keep your nerves tight all the time. Under such pressure, psychological fatigue It's something more fatal."

In fact, at this time, Zhao Yaning did have a thought in his mind: his teammates are very tired, and this game is still an away game. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win the game.If this game is played a little bit, it would be a good way to get a draw and then go back to Anfield to fight for the victory.It's a good thing for everyone to save some energy.

It's just that at this time, although he changed his mind, he still didn't dare to do it.After all, giving up the game so easily is not something he likes to do.But even so, when he was playing, he was afraid that his teammates would not be able to keep up, so he slowed down, which also made Bayern's defense much easier.

Zhao Yaning didn't know that this was mental fatigue: Mental fatigue didn't refer to the tiredness of not wanting to move, but a kind of mentality that made excuses for his laziness.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning didn’t seek a breakthrough immediately. He took the ball and tried to shake it twice. Gerrard in the frontcourt.

Gerrard received the ball, took a long shot and kicked the ball towards the goal.Kahn held the ball out of the crossbar with one palm, such an overly simple attack was not enough to break through his goal.

Until the end of the first half, the two sides remained deadlocked, and the score remained unchanged.

"Liverpool's attack has been unable to open the situation. This stalemate is uncomfortable enough. But this is Bayern Munich's home court after all. They will definitely strengthen their offensive in the second half. Let us see how Liverpool will choose to respond. .”[

Although they thought that there would be changes on both sides, when they saw Liverpool's adjustment after the midfield, the commentators were still surprised, "Liverpool replaced Walcott... This is really an unexpected choice, a 17 A year-old child is entrusted with a heavy responsibility in the game, but can it really be successful?"

At this time, Zhao Yaning understood very well what the coach meant by replacing Walcott.Bayern and Liverpool are now in a stalemate, not because Bayern is stronger, or because the two sides can contain each other's attacks.The key to Bayern's excellence is that Liverpool's current midfielder is tired and lacks enough counter-attack pressure and sufficient counter-attack speed.

But Volko's special ability is not good, and speed is his greatest guarantee.It is precisely because he can supplement the most lacking link of Liverpool and bring Liverpool the crucial counterattack speed in this game, so Benitez will replace Figo, who is doing nothing, and put on Walcott.

His speed will be of great help to Liverpool, the key is how to create the right opportunities for him.

Soon, Liverpool got their chance.

Ballack's long-range shot turned into a corner, and in the chaos, the ball was pushed towards the feet of Schweinsteiger.He didn't dare to shoot, but kicked the ball to Lizarazu on the wing.Lizarazu made a long pass, but Vidic set it out.The ball reached Zhao Yaning’s feet, and when Zhao Yaning turned around, he had already seen the general emptiness on the opponent’s side.

Kick it, pass it!

The moment Walcott got the ball, he rushed out quickly.He was still near the penalty area when he started, but by the time Lizarazu turned around, he had already crossed the halfway line.

so fast...

Not only Lizarazu thought so, Zhao Yaning also had the same thought at this time.His position just now was higher than Walcott's, and he didn't have to turn around, but the two of them stepped across the center line almost at the same time, and after halftime, Walcott even shook off Zhao Yaning a position.This kind of unguarded stride is his favorite way of playing football. It is simple and direct, and it is a crazy surprise attack. He can do this kind of thing better than anyone else.

Zhao Yaning did not relax, he also inserted from the middle.Ismail is near the penalty area and Demichelis is near the midfield.They have already begun to return to defense. Although Walcott is fast enough, his technique is not good enough. He faces two defenders alone, Zhao Yaning is still worried.At this time, he had already increased his speed to the limit, trying to catch up, trying to help Walcott.

Demichelis followed Zhao Yaning, but speed was not his forte, and he was also thrown away a bit.Near the penalty area, Walcott had already changed direction and headed towards the penalty area. Ismail judged his position and chose his position.For such an opponent, Ismail is also very clear that once he is passed, there is absolutely no possibility of chasing him back.However, he also had to gamble that in such a high-speed state, it is absolutely impossible for Walcott to change direction.

And the fact was as he expected, Walcott could not change direction, but just when Walcott approached Ismail, Ismail put out a good kick and stopped him in front of.Walcott protected the ball in some embarrassment. He kicked the ball towards the midfielder, but he barely looked at the person and passed the ball.

He's passing the ball poorly, and he's not in position at all.But at this time, such a pass is enough. In the backcourt, as long as Zhao Yaning and Demichelis chased back in the middle, Zhao Yaning accelerated one step at a time, widening the distance with Demichelis again, and the moment he grabbed the ball, Has rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

With a roar, Kahn rushed out from the penalty area.But at this time, instead of disturbing Zhao Yaning, his roar made Zhao Yaning calm down a bit: I finally got the single sword, and it will be much easier now.

Kahn's attack blocked Zhao Yaning's best shooting angle very well, but at this time, Zhao Yaning had already judged his position.Turning sideways, preparing, kicking, Zhao Yaning shot the ball low and flat, and quickly sent the ball close to the ground. Kahn fell to the ground immediately, but after all, he was still a step slower. The football rolled under him and into the net. !

"gooool!!!!!! Liverpool scored a goal, Liverpool 1-0 Bayern Munich!"
