ball at foot

In the battle against Villarreal, Liverpool finally adjusted their strongest lineup.Milito, Zhao Yaning, Figo and Gerrard all played in the frontcourt, while Sissoko and Alonso played double midfielders in the midfield, and Riise, Carragher, Vidic and Vidic played in the backcourt. Maicon's combination, the goalkeeper is still Reina.

Compared with them, Villarreal's lineup is slightly worse, but it is not far away: their goalkeeper is Vieira, and the back line is Gonzalo, Arzo, Benta and Penha , the overall is slightly worse.On the midfield line, there is a diamond-shaped midfield composed of Calleja, Senna, Riquelme and Sorin. Among the four, Sorin and Riquelme are Argentine internationals, while Senna is a Spanish international. All pretty good.On the forward line, apart from Forlan, they are Jose Mari who once played for Milan.

And several other outstanding players, Valencia, Cazorla, and Juventus's former deputy Tacchinardi, all sat on the bench in this game.It is not easy for Villarreal to play in this position, but it is definitely not by chance.

And with a whistle, after the game started, Liverpool did not immediately gain the upper hand.Although it was a home game, it was clear that Liverpool played very cautiously, and they didn't want to encounter too much trouble in this game.Be careful of big mistakes. After all, it is a home game. Any goal conceded is worth a lot of money. It is always a good thing to defend carefully before attacking.

Although Villarreal is weaker, they are a La Liga team after all, and they have a great advantage over Premier League teams like Liverpool in terms of running and interspersing.Although the current Liverpool is considered by many English media to be a serious La Liga team, compared with Villarreal, it focuses on frontcourt counterattack and physical confrontation, making Liverpool still technically advanced. It is insufficient.Coupled with the fact that there is a master midfielder like Riquelme in the opponent's team, it is not fun to be beaten behind. Therefore, Liverpool is also quite cautious. [

At this time, the Liverpool players also discovered that playing with Riquelme was indeed a troublesome thing when defending.

This person's passing ability is indeed beyond ordinary people's imagination.Most people pass the ball, no matter how they pass the ball, they only calculate the position in space.For example, Zhao Yaning passed the ball and saw that there was a gap in the defense, so he naturally passed the ball.Running in the gap and running to meet, that's what teammates have to do.

But Riquelme is different here: he not only pays attention to the gaps in the defense, but at the same time, he will try to understand the position and movement of every teammate and every opponent, and calculate his own position. How to pass the ball to ensure that teammates receive the ball first - the purpose of other passers is to direct their teammates, but teammates also have to think, and his way of playing is simply to think about this All the links are done for the teammates, and the teammates only need to surround him and perform the simplest movement.

No wonder some people think that his passing skills are the best in the world.Zidane's technique is excellent, but his spirituality is relatively insufficient. He can predict the running position of his teammates, but he can't predict the running position of the opponent very well. Therefore, he relies on his own technology to tear For the opponent's defense, his passing is always smooth and smooth, as if he can pass it alone.Another passing master, Rui Costa, has a very magical insight into the loopholes in the back line. He can see even the smallest loopholes, but he is still not good at controlling his teammates. Fortunately, Yes, he has always been accompanied by good strikers, and for strikers with good running positions, his passing is as attractive as fine wine to alcoholics. Inzaghi thinks his passing is better than Zidane, Obviously, running like Inzaghi and meeting passing like Rui Costa, that is the real golden wind and jade "dew".

But Riquelme is different.When he plays football, he doesn't know how to do traction by himself, and it is difficult to serve his teammates.You don't need the cooperation of a good striker either.What he needs is a group of teammates playing around him.Such a pass is indeed more eye-catching and better-looking, but such a pass is indeed difficult to be loved by teammates of the same level or similar strength-no striker is willing to be a marionette in the hands of others , who is willing to not rely on their own wisdom when running positions, but completely depend on others?

When Riquelme was on the court, his control ** was really too strong.This point, compared with his luck, his technical flaws, his character problems and habit problems, are all secondary.

He is indeed a master, but a master with flaws.

In this game, it was Sissoko who was responsible for man-marking Riquelme.Under Riquelme's movements, his rough flaws were also revealed.His technique is not enough to grab the ball from Riquelme's feet, but relying on his body, every time he closes to press, Riquelme turns around to protect the ball, and resists Sissoko with his butt. If you can't stand it, just lie down.His physical fitness is indeed poor, but he knows how to use his physical disadvantages to create advantages for himself.Relying on his good ball protection skills, Sissoko has nothing to do with him for a while.

Fortunately, what Liverpool put out at the beginning was the formation of double midfielders.This style of play is relatively safe. Although Liverpool can't defend against Riquelme, Riquelme can't find too good opportunities with a tight defensive system.

At the same time, after the Liverpool midfielder stabilized, they also began to prepare for an offensive.

Liverpool's counterattack advances have always been completed by Zhao Yaning in this kind of competition, but in this game, it was Senna in front of him that really surprised Zhao Yaning.

When Zhao Yaning dribbled the ball and picked up speed, there was still a blank space ahead.And just when he wanted to speed up, Senna had already blocked him, blocking most of his breakthrough space. He came over, and while fighting, he was also trying to grab the ball under his feet.

This kind of defense gave Zhao Yaning a very strange illusion: his defensive prediction ability is very good, very similar to that guy Makelele.But his technique at the feet is much more delicate, and he is more like Essien—it can be said that it is a mixture of [-]% of Makelele and [-]% of Essien.

He heard Alonso mention this player, and when he was in the Premier League, many media said that Manchester United wanted to introduce him: because his contract has only one year left and the price is relatively cheap.According to the newspaper, Villarreal asked for 1000 million, while Manchester United counter-offered a price of 400 million, and the two sides were arguing.

Such a price doesn't look like the price of a top player.But in the match, Zhao Yaning discovered that Alonso calling him the big one Alonso was indeed not a lie.

This is indeed a very good midfielder, whether it is interception, steals, counter-passing or dribbling skills, he is extremely versatile.To say that he is a big Alonso does not mean that his ability is much better than Alonso as a whole. He is not even as good as Alonso in terms of long balls participating in offense. However, because he With good speed and the ability to dribble the ball, it can be said that he is a very good and comprehensive midfielder, and he is indeed a more suitable candidate to play a single midfielder than Alonso.

Prior to this, Zhao Yaning knew that he had only joined the Spanish nationality in 2006. He had just played his first national team game in February, so he didn’t care much about him, but thinking about it now: his homeland is Brazil after all, and the Brazilian team Where has there been a lack of backcourt players over the years?After all, the stage where Senna plays is still too small. It is impossible to get Emerson, Gilberto Silva, Ze Roberto, Juninho Jr., Edmilson and others to play for giants, and they are very famous. With the fame and status of his midfielder, he can't compete with them for the position.The World Cup is just around the corner, and if he wants to play in the World Cup, that's all he can do.

Moreover, his peak period came a little later: many people believe that his peak was last year, the year he won the third place in La Liga.And this year, his age is already 30 years old.Although he is indeed more comprehensive and capable than Alonso, Alonso was only in his early twenties when he took the second place in La Liga, and someone like Senna, who only became famous when he was old, was naturally overlooked .

Spain is suspected to have picked up a big deal. [

For a long time, Spain's midfielders have had a big problem: their players are excessively lacking in a certain outstanding ability.

This is actually related to the general environment of each league.Italy's style of play has always been to pile up defense in the backcourt, while the forward line relies on the personal ability of one or two players to solve all problems.Therefore, Italy is rich in defenders, and at the same time, it is also rich in shadow forwards who can do all the work in the frontcourt alone.But the midfielder position, Italy has no tradition.

The Premier League attaches great importance to the wing, and their league is rich in fast and long-passing wings.In addition, the Premier League likes the midfielder's style of pressing directly after taking the ball. Therefore, they are also rich in central midfielders with strong coverage and fierce defense.But because of the fast pace, simple and clear style of play, and technical forwards, it is difficult to produce in the Premier League.

The same is true for Spain: a league that focuses on coordination and offense, so that most of their players have very versatile midfield capabilities: defense, passing, shooting, control, all aspects are average.For a long time, the slightly weak physical fitness and the excessive reliance on foreign aid from South America when playing football have made it difficult for Spain, a country, to produce players with real golden ball strength.

And now, when Aragones was reorganizing, he relied on the introduction of Senna to make up for the major loopholes in the backcourt defense.It is very important for Spain to have a midfielder with a large coverage area and high defensive strength.

It's just that no matter how strong a defensive midfielder is, he shouldn't play in a formation with a single midfielder, especially in our team, not just one person can take on the role of organization, and excellent defensive ability does not always mean You can defend multiple positions by one person!This style of play has long been eliminated by modern football. Do you really think that the advantage is so great that it can be regarded as the law of football?

When he dribbled the ball again, Zhao Yaning flicked the ball with his left and right feet twice, and controlled the speed so that Senna did not dare to grab it. After that, he began to look for opportunities and plan an attack.

Figo cleverly understood his thoughts, and immediately leaned over.Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to him, and at this time, he started at full speed and ran towards the baseline.

Senna followed, but Zhao Yaning knocked the ball back with his heel and passed the ball to Figo behind him.Figo passed the ball backwards and gave the ball to Alonso who "plugged in", and Alonso directly made a long pass and gave the ball to the other side, Gerrard's feet!

The rapid transfer of several people was almost completed within five seconds.Cena threw off Zhao Yaning, who was "piercing" into the penalty area, and turned back to the front of the arc of the penalty area. After all, that is the most dangerous position!

Gerrard, who received the ball, did not choose to pass it on. He took the ball from the ribs of the penalty area and "inserted" into the penalty area!

He has never played football like this, running, pulling, long-range shooting, passing, these are his tasks, such a sudden "cutting" is obviously extremely rare, and it also makes the entire defense line, It was all chaos, and at this time, Gerrard had turned his back and passed the ball to Figo.

Taking advantage of this moment of chaos, Figo has already pushed the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area.At this time, Zhao Yaning, who had already run into the penalty area, received the ball, lightly kicked his right foot, and threw the ball towards the far corner of the goal!

"Gooool!!! Liverpool scored a goal! Zhao Yaning's goal, Liverpool led Villarreal 1-0 at home!"

Leading by one goal is not enough! While celebrating, Zhao Yaning was also thinking in his heart: Best, just kill the suspense in this game. What Liverpool have to do now is far more than just winning.
