Super Prophecy Master

Chapter 421 Depressed Claude
Using Livermore's frontcourt to press and defend, the scope of the game was limited to the Sheffield United half. The opponent could hardly create a threat, and Millwall could let go of his hands and feet to launch an offensive.

Millwall did not play any wonderful cooperation.

The offense and defense of the two sides are carried out in the half court, and the scope of cooperation is too narrow, especially when the ball is passed near the penalty area, it is difficult to cooperate smoothly with short passes.

As the game progressed, Millwall's new formation method was also analyzed. Simply put, there is only one sentence--
Come fight around Livermore!

Livermore doesn't participate in much, but every offense, at the end, is somewhat inseparable from him.

For example, when attacking from the wing, players will choose long passes to the center, either in front of the penalty area or in the middle of the penalty area. Whenever the winger attacks, Livermore rushes into the Sheffield United penalty area like a striker. Grab the spot with Darren Bent.

This is to give full play to Livermore's header ability.

Even if there is a direct pass from the side to the center, they will also take the initiative to find Livermore's point. If Livermore has a chance, Sheffield United will face a threatening shot from the outside. They have a deep understanding of this up.

The attack in the middle also revolves around Livermore.

The two cores, Morris and Simpson, not only pass the ball to Livermore, they also help Livermore attract defense. Sheffield United must limit the performance of Simpson and Morris, and must also disperse energy to defend, knowing that Livermore is a great threat, and they have to defend more loosely, otherwise Simpson or Morris will find opportunities, which will pose a greater threat to Sheffield United.

Livermore is not the core of the organization, but he is much more important than the core of the organization and has become the most important firepower.

This is Millwall's 'backwards forward' style of play.

If you use one sentence to describe it, it is "gather the strength of the whole team and create opportunities for Livermore".

Since Zhang Yang was worried about the head coach, no player has enjoyed this kind of treatment, and Darren Bent, who has performed well, is the same, but no player is disgusted with this. At this time, the role of popularity will be reflected.

Livermore is usually dull, but the team is very popular. No teammates will feel bad about Livermore, and new players are happy to contact Livermore.

Everyone is also very convinced of the new style of play, they know Livermore's ability.

Livermore's skills are not very good, but the level of long-range shooting is quite good, and he can also kick very well with a short-range kick. The key is that Livermore is strong enough. If he is allowed to get it in the penalty area, it is simply It is a disaster for the opposing goalkeeper.

In addition, Livermore's header is also very good. He has a lot of practice on weekdays, and his superior body and height bring him the advantage of competing for headers.

With Livermore's level of ability, he is the best choice to break through dense defenses.

On the field.

Livermore has been running constantly, and he has always been the hardest one in the team. On weekdays, Livermore also works hard, but he is definitely not so desperate. This is also because he has received Zhang Yang's attention. Livermore knows that Zhang Yang has always been He attaches great importance to himself, but it is definitely not like now, which is equivalent to giving him the "right to fire freely", the whole team is playing around him, and all teammates will take the initiative to make the ball for him.

This is the top treatment!
Livermore doesn't know if there are players from other teams who have enjoyed it, but it is clear how difficult it is to get this kind of treatment. Perhaps most players will not receive such strong support in their careers.

If this is the case, Livermore doesn't know how to face Zhang Yang if he still can't perform.

Millwall sent the ball to Livermore time and time again, and Livermore also worked hard. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would try his best to get a shot. He also showed his ability to create opportunities-first Stopped the ball with one kick, then turned around and squeezed the opponent, then squeezed the opponent away, and suddenly turned and volleyed.

This is the most simple and direct way, and it is an action that almost every frontcourt, or every professional player, can easily make.

It is also easy for the opponent to make restrictions.

For example, if you squeeze hard so that the player in possession of the ball cannot move coherently, there is naturally no threat.

Or, if you find the right opportunity and get stuck between the football and the goal, the opponent will naturally not be able to complete the shot.

Or, simply poke the ball out with your foot.

and many more.

There are many ways for defensive players to deal with such a simple action, but when Sheffield United players do this, they find it difficult to defend Livermore no matter what.

Mainly... Livermore is too strong!
Livermore can easily do it just by squeezing the defensive player away. If the opponent doesn't pay attention, he will be squeezed by Livermore and his body will be unstable. Naturally, the defense needless to say, and there is no time to do other actions.

once.

twice.

After two failures, Claude Davis, who defended Livermore, finally found the trick: he can't be close to Livermore, otherwise he will be easily squeezed away, he can only close Livermore Standing, the opponent can protect the ball if he wants to, as long as he is not allowed to shoot.

Claude Davis did the same this time. He staggered two steps to block Livermore's shot, but Livermore found that the opponent defending him was far away, and he easily kicked the ball. side.

This is at the frontier of the restricted area!

The key position at the front of the penalty area, allowing the opponent to pass the ball so easily, is very fatal.

really!

Morris, who was following behind, waved his foot and volleyed without any hesitation. The football flew past Claude Davis' arm and rushed directly into the lower left corner of the goal.

Sheffield United's goal was blasted open!
----

"Goooooooooooal!!"

"Morris! Morris! He received a pass from Livermore and shot it into the goal!"

"1 to 0! Millwall leads the score!"

With the shouts of "Sky Sports" commentator Kevin Bullard, the Neil Stadium also boiled, and every Millwall fan was very happy. One was that the team scored a goal, and the other was that they Always worried about the game.

There are many reports in the media. What Walker said before the game let people know what Sheffield United will do.

The matches between Millwall and Liverpool and Aston Vieira were all tied. The opponents are focused on defense, and there are not many ways for any team. Will Sheffield United achieve their goal?Against a solid defense, can Millwall score?
It's suspense!
Many media claimed, "Millwall, which is targeted by Premier League opponents, will become very difficult in the second half of the game, because every opponent will target and defend, and they don't even need to think about offense. As long as they can hold the goal, it means victory."

These reports made Millwall fans very worried. Now that Millwall has scored a goal, they are finally relieved.

When Millwall scored, it was almost equal to winning the game!

The Millwall fans were also celebrating on the field. Morris was very excited after scoring a goal. He hugged Livermore and said excitedly, "Thank you! David! Your pass is so beautiful!" In fact, Livermore's The pass was very ordinary, and he pushed the ball horizontally after hearing Morris yelling "here".

Livermore didn't say anything, just smiled and hugged Morris.

Other teammates also rushed over to celebrate the goal together.

In fact, Morris is very hungry for goals, because he found that this season, his importance in the team has declined.

Last season, Morris was the most important player in the team. Leaving aside the status of the captain, he is also the only confirmed "absolute main force" in the middle. As long as his physical condition is not bad, he will definitely get a chance to play.

This season is different.

Both Braniff and Simpson have switched to midfield, and their performance is getting better and better, especially Braniff, which puts a lot of pressure on Morris. He is no longer the absolute main force. In many games, the starter will be Braniff and Simpson.

Fortunately, Smicer is getting older, and the Czechs have played less time, allowing Morris to get more opportunities.

But Morris still has a sense of crisis. There are only Braniff, Simpson, and Smicer teammates in the middle of the midfield. Sean Davis and veteran Harman can also play. Harman is too old. , The state has declined quickly, and it is a player who supplements the lineup. Sean Davis is in his prime and is also a strong competitor.

Morris wasn't as good either, and perhaps that's why his importance has declined, as he got few shots on goal and his numbers suffered.

So far this season, Morris has only scored two goals in the league, which is incomparable to Braniff's five and Simpson's seven. Of course, both Braniff and Simpson are more offensive, and Morris' offense and The defense is solid. From a tactical point of view, it doesn't matter if you score less, but it has an impact after all. For example, from the media point of view, many people think that Braniff and Simpson are better than him.

All of this put pressure on Morris.

Under such circumstances, every goal becomes very important to Morris.

When Millwall celebrated the goal, the live TV also began to show the slow motion of the goal. After watching it three times in a row, Kevin Bullard said doubtfully, "Strange, the opposing defender Claude Davis There seemed to be no defense, he watched Livermore push the ball to the side, what the hell was he doing? I don't quite get it..."

This is the case several times in a row.

Claude Davis stood on the line of the penalty area, not close to the defense at all, just watched Livermore turn around, and then push the ball to the side, he didn't even have a symbolic defensive action.

Not only the commentators noticed this, but also the Sheffield United players.

The goalkeeper Kenny couldn't help shouting, "Claude! What are you doing! Concentrate! If you rushed up just now, the opponent couldn't complete the shot!"

Central defender Somer was defending Darren Bent just now, but Bent did nothing, he saw the whole process of the goal, and immediately said to Claude Davis, "Why don't you go up to defend?
The complaints of the two made Claude Davis full of depression.

Before Livermore turned his back twice before, he couldn't defend at all. After finally finding a way to deal with it, the opponent made a cross push and hit the ball into the goal. Claude Davis wanted to say' I paid attention', but in the end nothing was said.

Both Somermer and Kenny are the absolute main players in the team, and both can be said to be his predecessors.

What can he say?

Watching Millwall's celebration, Claude Davies didn't care about whether he scored or not. All he could think about was, "And when he meets that guy named Livermore, how on earth is he going to defend? "
