ball at foot

"The game between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield is the most important game of the season for both teams. If Liverpool wins the game, then they may once again hit the treble. Honor, and if Chelsea win the game, then they will also make the most satisfactory end to their season of decline."

There are still a few minutes to go before the game starts, and at this time, Lineker and Alan Hansen are also discussing this year's Champions League competition.

"In yesterday's game, Milan won, and now Manchester United has been eliminated. It is impossible for Premier League teams to meet in the final. However, this game will determine a winner and go to the final Against Milan, there will still be teams in the Premier League that will enter the final, and there will still be a chance to win the cup. Personally, I hope it will be Liverpool. After all, I really want to know that in the final, Zhao Yaning will face Cardiff. In the case of Ka, between the two of them, whose level is better."

After Manchester United defeated Milan 3-2 at home, they went to the away game and lost a clean 0-3. Milan's strong strength was revealed in the game. Get messed up and return defeated.

"We can say what we lose."[

This is the consensus of the Manchester United side after the game.In fact, many people have not realized at this time that these two games against Milan have also allowed Ferguson to complete a further transformation: Before that, although he wanted to be continental, in his bones, Ferguson was still the same as he was in 99. Advocating attack, passionate offensive coach.After this game, the result of Ferguson's painful experience was that Manchester United completely embarked on the road of defense first.After 08, this huge change became more and more obvious.

In this game, Kaka scored Milan's first goal, expanded his goals to double digits, and also used his own performance to amaze everyone.

"Kaka is the son of God!" This is what the Italian shouted after the game.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Kaka's performance in the game, even if it is said to be a god-level performance.He showed his strength to the fullest in the game, completely one level ahead of others.

It's just this level, excluding Zhao Yaning.

Although Zhao Yaning did not score in the first game against Chelsea, the previous two hat-tricks made no one dare to ignore his role.The English media may lose in other matters, but they will not lose in verbal battles and scolding each other.

Zhao Yaning is the only one!” The English media are also promoting Zhao Yaning’s role, “A person who has never had a hat-trick in the Champions League so far, why should he compare with Zhao Yaning?”

"I don't know if Kaka can compete with Zhao Yaning, but I am looking forward to it. After seeing Kaka's outstanding performance, Zhao Yaning will give us a more exciting performance in this game." Alan Hansen did not give too much comment on what the media said. After all, he still understands that at the level of Zhao Yaning and Kaka, their strength is more determined by their performance.Who is better than whom, he did not dare to jump to conclusions, "I am looking forward to Zhao Yaning's good performance in the game. He has shocked me more than once. This time, I am also looking forward to it."

"But in the last game, he obviously wasn't at his best," Lineker replied.

"Yes, Chelsea's defense was very careful in the last game. They relied on the cooperation of Essien, Ballack and Mikel to prevent Zhao Yaning from holding the ball and breaking through. Moreover, they also relied on the cooperation of three people. Collaborative positioning compressed the space for Zhao Yaning’s interspersed running. This approach made Zhao Yaning play the worst game since the Champions League knockout round.” Alan Hansen did not object to this time, “It was quite exciting I have to say that I was very surprised to see someone who was able to defend Zhao Yaning with tactical coordination.”

"I'm surprised too... Aren't you worried? You're from Liverpool." Lineker asked.

"Of course not." Alan Hansen shook his head, "I believe that in this game, Liverpool already has a way to deal with them. We all know that Coach Benitez is a master at arranging the opponent's formation It is impossible for him to watch Zhao Yaning continue to suffer. Zhao Yaning himself is also a very smart player. When he is targeted, he knows how to change his style of play to gain opportunities. He has already been criticized in words and writing. I don't believe that he will still be defended to death. He is the kind of player who will continue to improve. He was defended to death in the last game. In this game, he will definitely learn from it. Learn a lesson, and find a way out for yourself."

"It's true. Zhao Yaning is indeed a very good and smart player. This is undeniable." Lineker nodded, "But whether he can really break free from the encirclement, let us see."

At this time, the game has already started, and the lineups of both sides have not changed much from the previous game.

For Chelsea, the rear remains the same, and the frontcourt, just let the comeback Robben replace Shevchenko's position, and put a strange single forward and single winger on the forward line.However, this way of playing has more threats. After all, with Robben and Drogba in the frontcourt, Chelsea's threat can also be increased by one point.

"Chelsea still seem to want to play a game of the same style. Last time they successfully blocked Liverpool, I don't know if they can succeed this time."

For Liverpool, the backcourt remained unchanged, while Zhao Yaning played in the frontcourt. Gerrard and Figo used to be the attacking midfielders, and Milito played as a forward.

Compared with the previous game, Dirk Didier did not play, which was the biggest adjustment Liverpool made.

"In the last game, a rather rudimentary stoppage error made by Kevin Dirk made Liverpool concede a goal. That goal was also the only goal Liverpool conceded in the game. In this game, Liverpool immediately conceded a goal. I replaced Figo and replaced Dirk, presumably, it has nothing to do with Dirk's poor performance." Alan Hansen looked at the substitution and immediately made a judgment. [

"Not really." Lineker said.

"What's your opinion?"

"Dukiter's tactical role, that is, counter-grabbing, running involves these two. His passing ability, shooting ability, and breakthrough ability are not up to the requirements. When facing Chelsea, Liverpool's control The ball rate is much higher than that of the opponent, they don't need too much counter-grabbing, and Chelsea's intensive defense cannot be torn apart by simple running and involvement. Not much. In contrast, although Figo has played a lot less this season, his skills and awareness are still there. Liverpool does not need him as a breakthrough point, but only needs him as an excellent player. In terms of response, he is better than Dirk, after all, he makes fewer mistakes and should play better."

"You mean that Figo is more suitable for this game, that is to say, this game, Liverpool has carefully arranged it?"

"It must be so. The only thing that puzzles me is that, as we all know, dense defense is a very difficult defensive system to break. How can we capture Chelsea under dense defense? This problem, I am afraid it is not easy. "

Even Zhao Yaning’s superhuman breakthrough ability, when he encounters Chelsea’s defense, he is also suffocated. With this style of play, Liverpool was helpless in the last game, but in this game, how can Liverpool break through? Opponent's defense?This is what everyone is curious about.

"The game has started. It seems that Liverpool's game is really different from the last game."

As soon as the game started, Liverpool's offensive began immediately.Chelsea didn't even have a symbolic fight, and immediately retreated to its own defensive third area. The decisiveness of its contraction was indeed a perfect one that had already been practiced.

However, Liverpool's attack did not stop. Zhao Yaning immediately made a breakthrough on the left, and after Essien came over, he immediately kicked the ball to Alonso behind him. Before Alonso waited for Lampard to come over, It was a long pass directly, and the ball was passed into the penalty area!

"Milito!! Didn't grab the point. Less than 1 minute into the game, Liverpool had already tried an attack, but Cech's attack was very decisive and timely, intercepting the ball. But Liverpool's offensive immediately started again Now, they play very fast, such a fast pace, but they use a veteran like Figo, do they really want to tire the old Figo out?"

As soon as Liverpool came up, they kicked the rhythm of the game to the fastest pace.Receive the ball, play it, pass it, and they barely let the ball stop for a moment.Although most of these passes were completed near the midfield and did not pose too much threat, but because the pace of the game was so fast, the emotions of the surrounding fans were extremely high.

"I can understand some of Liverpool's ideas: they want to rely on a faster pace of the game to create more chances and more mistakes. Liverpool is the dominant side, they are not afraid of mistakes, while Chelsea It is the besieged side, if they make a mistake, they will be in big trouble."

The faster the pace of the game, the easier it is to make mistakes when playing football.The faster the pace of the game, the more mistakes are likely to occur on both sides.Compared with the besieged Chelsea, Liverpool's situation is better. Speeding up the pace is helpful for them.

And this is not the key.Lineker understands a little bit: speed up the pace, the three of them can't stop running in the frontcourt, supplemented by Alonso's long shots and long passes, their attack will become three-dimensional.And more importantly, if there are more interspersed running positions and passes, in order to prevent Liverpool's defense from being completely disrupted, Chelsea's defense must be more stable and cannot make changes at will. In addition to compressing the space for Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning is more likely to make changes to the situation of the battle.

Benitez is still betting on Zhao Yaning's performance, and his intention is extremely obvious.But what if Chelsea knew?If they had enough ways to deal with Zhao Yaning, they wouldn't be playing so wretchedly.

Zhao Yaning is a double treasured sword, but now, the appropriate tactics have let the treasured sword out of its sheath.

"It seems that Zhao Yaning is indeed likely to perform well in this game."
