ball at foot

Chapter 596 The away game

Although the final schedule may lead to a very heavy task for Liverpool, but at this time, it has aroused everyone's fighting spirit: I have played so many games this season, it is not easy to maintain the advantage until now, how could I not persist in the end?

Moreover, if there is any good news, it is that in the last five rounds of the league, Liverpool's opponents are not strong teams. If they are serious, probably there will be no problems. -" Among Chelsea's opponents, Manchester United is a strong team.Manchester United has recovered very quickly since the second half of the season. Although they failed to catch up with Liverpool and Chelsea due to too much debt in the first half of the season, they are also chasing after them at this time, and they have no intention of showing weakness. Although it is somewhat embarrassing to say that Manchester United is always counting on Manchester United to stop Chelsea, but at this time, everyone still has some fantasies.

At this time, the league has been put aside, and Liverpool still has one thing to do.The away game of the Champions League is here, and it's time for them to play against Villarreal at the Estadio de l'Aguero.

Although Liverpool won at home, but because Villarreal scored an away goal, Liverpool's advantage is not very safe.After all, as long as Villarreal wins a 2- at home, Liverpool will be eliminated.

Although it seems impossible for Liverpool to lose -2, such a thing, after all, no one can say for sure.In fact, just last season, when Villarreal was still at home, they blew Barcelona 3-[-]. Riquelme's game also discredited Barcelona. After all, their strength should not be underestimated. , this game has to be certified to deal with it. [

In the game, Liverpool sent the strongest lineup that they could play.And Carragher's position was also filled by Bruno Alves after the last game, and Hyypia sat on the bench to watch this game.

In the game, Villarreal still built a lineup around Riquelme.Only this time, they used a double defensive midfielder composed of Senna and Tacchinardi, and in the frontcourt, they replaced Forlan with a single striker, with Valencia on the right and Sorin on the left.

Unlike the previous game, the two sides were still tentative at the beginning. In this game, from the first second, the two sides launched a confrontation.Less than 5 minutes into the game, Riquelme noticed a hole in the defense and sent the ball to Forlan with a through ball.Fran took advantage of Bruno's gap and kicked the ball towards the goal with a long shot!

Reina's excellent rescue in front of the goal saved Liverpool from a blow, but even so, this shot still aroused the joy of the crowd at the Love Song Stadium.

"Liverpool should be more careful. This kind of opportunity, Fran is very likely. If he seizes the opportunity and scores a goal, then the trouble will be big."

Forlan is an excellent shooter, but after all, long shots are more difficult to score.The more people who can play beautiful football, the more they will not score many goals. The beauty of the fairy ball is because it is incredible, and it is impossible to play incredible football with high efficiency.This can also be said to be a contradiction between location and viewing.

Fran's attack this time obviously didn't have any good effect.His shot was too risky and was saved by Reina.

But it is true that Liverpool's defense is indeed not good enough.After all, Bruno's replacement was worse than that of Carragher. At this time, his mistake caused the opponent's goal.

Obviously, Riquelme also noticed this.When he dribbled the ball again, he didn't attack immediately, but passed it slowly in the midfield, watching Fran in front of him running non-stop.

If it is a mature back line, it is very rare to tear out space by running, but Liverpool's back line is not mature enough.What's more, what Riquelme wanted was not to rely on Fran to complete the task alone.

Liverpool is also very aware of the lack of defenders. At this time, what they can do is to make up for the lack of defense by attacking.Another Liverpool attack started.Zhao Yaning broke through directly to the ribs on the wing, and then kicked the ball to Gerrard in front of the penalty area.Gerrard kicked out with a bang, but the knock missed the post.But this time, Villarreal defender Peña got the ball and immediately launched an attack!

Cruyff once commented on the 26-year-old Argentina team, saying that when the team was defending, it had a 4231 formation, but when it was attacking, it became a 3232 formation.The full-back advances to the full-back, and then the full-back goes up to the striker. This approach can make the team's attack extremely sharp in an instant, but it must be extremely good to operate this method. front waist.The transformation of the entire formation requires the quick switching ability of the players.It is not too difficult for a ball player to perform this kind of running, but if you want to complete a quick counterattack while running, what you need is a sufficiently good player to hold and pass the ball to make running effective.

Riquelme is obviously good enough.And this opportunity was something he had been waiting for for a long time.

Valencia rushed forward in an instant, and he and Fran ran forward together, which also caused Bruno on Liverpool's defense line to appear not firm enough when filling his position.And at this moment, Riquelme's through ball passed the crowd and was delivered to Fran's feet.

At critical times, there must be enough trust in teammates, which is a necessary condition for the organizer.

When Fran took the ball, he had already adjusted his pace, and Bruno's rushing tackle was ignored in his eyes.Lifting his foot, Fran kicked the goal right in front of Bruno and blasted the ball away!

"Oh no! Diego Forlán scores again! Liverpool are trailing away!"

The Love Song stadium instantly boiled up, and with one more goal, they would be able to advance to the semi-finals!

"Don't worry, Bruno." Walking to the backcourt, looking at Bruno Alves who was on the ground after losing his position again, Zhao Yaning stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Everyone will inevitably make mistakes, and there is no shame in making mistakes. Just defend well. Don't get discouraged, just keep an eye on it."[

Bruno nodded and stood up without saying anything.

Liverpool's defensive system is built according to Carragher's characteristics. Although Bruno is replaced now, it is obviously impossible for Benitez to modify the defensive positioning system for temporary changes in these games.One is because he has only a few games to play, and he will be a substitute in the future. Second, it is also because at this time, he needs to rely more on Vidic's ability. Vidic has just adapted to a system with difficulty. Make more changes.What Liverpool can do is to let him adapt to Vidic, not to let Vidic adapt to him-this is out of performance requirements.Although Benitez has more rotations in the frontcourt, he has always been very clear about who can be replaced and who cannot be replaced.

Therefore, Bruno cannot be solely blamed for such a mistake.This is the pain that the team must face, and no one can do anything about it.And what Zhao Yaning can do, apart from comforting Bruno to relieve him of the guilt in his heart, there is only one thing left: he has to find a way to let the team score.As long as a goal can be scored, Liverpool's situation will be greatly improved.

Moreover, although Villarreal's offensive line is perfect, the defensive line is not necessarily the same.What I have to do now is to attack.

Villarreal's double defensive midfielder is still very powerful: In fact, this is not their favorite method. Their head coach Manuel Pellegrini prefers a single defensive midfielder. 442 in the field position. However, after being played by Liverpool in an away game full of loopholes, they changed their way of playing.The cooperation of Tacchinardi and Senna, the two outstanding players, did cause a lot of trouble for Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's running positions.

However, this also made Zhao Yaning think of something. Unlike Liverpool's defensive line which is relatively late, Villarreal's defensive line is very forward.They need to cooperate with the midfielder to pass the ball, which is also a big means they use to counter Liverpool's fierce counter-attack in the frontcourt.

But this way of playing, in Zhao Yaning’s view, is suspected to have loopholes.The back line is advanced. Although it can help the team gain more midfield advantages, there will inevitably be flaws behind them.The defenders' forward style of play is good for La Liga teams who like to cooperate on the ground, but it is not very wise for Ying, who likes long balls to instigate offense.

But the question is how to exploit this loophole.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning didn't directly attack the backcourt.He dribbled a step across the ball, and after a few passes to Gerrard in the midfield, he began to slowly go in.

Riquelme doesn't participate in the defense very much, which makes Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's advances not encounter too many problems.Senna had to go up and grab, and at this time, Zhao Yaning saw the time and kicked up, and after a two-over-one cooperation with Gerrard, he rushed directly to the backcourt.

This kind of cooperation is already the method he uses a lot, and he likes it the most.He has good explosive power, runs fast, and can always pay attention to the position of his teammates. When handing the ball to a teammate, the teammate's return pass does not need to pursue the angle too much, and the possibility of being intercepted by the opponent is also lower.And this way of playing is really useful.Two-on-one-to-the-wall coordination is originally the simplest and most basic form of ground coordination. Some teams that play two-on-one games, such as Argentina, can easily play extremely exciting football.At the beginning, Maradona's goal after two consecutive goals instigated in the 94 World Cup was regarded as a classic until a long time later.But now, what Zhao Yaning has to do is not to pass two in a row. What he has to do is to rely on two to one to get rid of the players. This kind of play couldn't be easier.

This time, he easily passed Senna in one step and faced Tacchinardi behind him.

Tachinardi was precisely stuck on Zhao Yaning’s way forward. He knew that it would be difficult for him to stop Zhao Yaning.However, at this time, it is what he must do to create a first layer of defensive barriers to make Zhao Yaning's breakthrough not so easy, and to strive for opportunities for Senna's pursuit and the players on the back line.

Sure enough, Zhao Yaning stopped in front of him, and at this time, Senna also caught up.Zhao Yaning turned halfway gently, and after avoiding Senna’s pursuit, he had already seen Alonso in the backcourt “cutting” forward.

Sure enough, Alonso understood him.At this time, he really needed Alonso's support.

With a pass back, Zhao Yaning has deliberately adjusted the speed and position of the pass back.Alonso went up to meet him, and the ball was given very well, so that he didn't have to stop the ball, it was enough to pass the ball with one foot, and rub the ball over Zhao Yaning's head!

When Zhao Yaning turned his head, what he saw was Milito who got the ball, shot and blasted into the goal!

"G1!!! Diego Milito!!! Liverpool pulled back a goal and the score was a 1-1 draw!"
