Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 880 Conquest
Zhang Yuan got a chance in the first half, and it was in the battle between Sturridge and Demichelis. Zhang Yuan stretched his foot under the pull of Kompany and forced a shot. Unfortunately, the strength and angle were nothing. Kicked out, the threat to Caballero is not great.

During the intermission, Rodgers changed his style of painting. He thought that his team was one goal behind and defending would not work. Manchester City’s tactics against them were relatively simple. Watts and Jovetic were able to play exquisite coordination in a small area, while Dzeko put pressure on Lovren and Skrtel at the center position, making Liverpool's defense very passive.

The team's new aid is not in place. Of course, this is not only related to the new aid, but also to Rogers. Moreover, Rogers' ability to train defense is indeed not particularly strong.

Before the end of the first half, he thought about it. In the second half, we will play against Manchester City. Our striker speed is not bad. The key is that the support given by the midfielder in the first half was not strong enough. Conservative, Manchester City's midfield is not vegetarian, Pellegrini's men Yaya Toure and Fernando are not pure defensive midfielders, their midfielders have relatively high technical content, and they can improve in defense. Can play, stand in a defensive position, it just so happened that Liverpool played Joe Allen today, Rodgers imagined that he could control the ball in the midfield, and the result gave the opponent time to retreat, in other words, the attack was not direct.

Zhang Yuan sat on the bench and didn't listen to what Rogers said in his head. He was thinking about a question, why is it so difficult today? !
After thinking about it for a while, he found the problem. Coutinho robbed his position. Waist, although sometimes Coutinho has to move to the side to make space in the middle, but that kind of situation is rare. Coutinho covers a relatively large area in offense, so Zhang Yuan feels like Not many positions, a lot of lateral movement.

He quickly figured out how to deal with it, and when he played in the second half, on the way to the field, Zhang Yuan caught up with Sturridge and said to Sturridge: "Daniel, do you want to believe me?! "

"Of course I believe you, do you have any ideas?!" Sturridge said, sometimes it is normal for players to have their own ideas, and good communication with each other is the key to cooperation.

"Did you find a problem?! Their defenders tend to press very high when attacking. In the second half, we should move more on the side. I will develop more on the left in the second half. If you see such an opportunity , you lean in the middle, I will definitely create opportunities for you!" Zhang Yuan said.

"No problem!" Sturridge replied.

"And when you were active on the side, I also leaned in the middle, and I could cross. I will meet with Kompany and the others. Our offense must be more direct!" Zhang Yuan added.

Sturridge actually has this function. According to Rodgers' arrangement, it is not he but Zhang Yuan who is at the center forward. He and Coutinho can play on both sides of Suarez similar to last season.

At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City's policy has not changed. A goal is not safe. Pellegrini is really not a conservative coach. If Mourinho or Conte is not good, he will defend and use anti-counterattack Gotta croak.

Liverpool's situation is much better. The formation has an upward pressure, and the lines are relatively compact, which makes it easier to pass the ball in a small area. Joe Allen's role is here. The defense is not good, but the organization and control are still there. It’s interesting, but Liverpool’s biggest problem is also Rodgers’ biggest problem. Joe Allen cannot be given absolute possession of the ball. There are too many people in Liverpool who share the ball. This is actually not very good, and it cannot be completely solved. Inspire Joe Allen's potential.

But when it’s time to shine, you still have to shine. In the 54th minute, Joe Allen stole the ball in the backcourt, and then passed it to Coutinho. Zhang Yuan has already moved to Zabaleta’s side at this time. The pressure on one side was not very high, but he didn't seem to be particularly concerned about Zhang Yuan's movement.

When Coutinho scored another goal from the wing, Zabaleta was still two meters away from Zhang Yuan, so he was embarrassed in front of the Manchester City fans.

Embarrassed like a wooden stake, because Zhang Yuan is such a long distance, he directly passed the ball from the outside along the sideline, and then let the rocket rush over in a daze. Yes, he felt a ball of something shaking in front of his eyes, and then it was gone!

After reacting and chasing back, Zhang Yuan had already thrown him far away, and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area. Kompany was in a bad mood at this time, and he had no confidence. He was able to watch Zhang Yuan most of the time in the first half. It's not because of his own merits, but because of the help of his teammates. Now he only has Demichelis by his side, but he knows very well that Coutinho and Sturridge will press forward, and the speed will only be faster than the Manchester City players. Faster, which means he has to face Zhang Yuan alone, which is not a good thing.

Sure enough, Zhang Yuan rushed towards the penalty area, suddenly changed direction and cut lightly to the middle, and shot vigorously. Kompany was very capable and couldn't stand Zhang Yuan's realistic movement. He even raised his foot to block the shooting route. Down the bottom, Kompany was played.

It was too late to chase, Caballero stood at the near corner, and Demichelis leaned in front of the goal, hoping to form a wall with goalkeeper Caballero and Kompany to block Zhang Yuan's shot.

In fact, Zhang Yuan’s choice of bottoming was not good. The angle just now was just on the right side of the penalty area. Shooting from that position requires good footwork. The far corner is the best. If you don’t shoot, Zhang Yuan can continue to choose horizontal Cut, close to the center of the penalty area, but Zhang Yuan still did this. Without him, he just wanted to give his teammates an assist. At this moment, the score is no longer in his mind. He only hopes to use this method to unite his forward teammates. Only in this way can everyone It's getting better and better. If they choose to shoot by themselves, Sturridge and Coutinho will only feel that the ball has nothing to do with them after working hard. It is Zhang Yuan who made it up alone.

Does this count as being daring with a high degree of art? It really should be counted!
Demichelis' attempt was beautiful, but as soon as his foot moved, Zhang Yuan passed the ball with his left foot, and the ball passed between him and Kompany. Pani stretched his feet, but he failed to stop the ball at the first point, and it was useless to have long legs.

Coutinho followed up in the middle, but he didn't keep up with the ball. empty door!

Conte is quite right about one point. When many teams in the Premier League attack, the full-backs are very important, and the midfielders are also courageous enough. It is indeed easy to leave opportunities for forwards like Zhang Yuan.

After Zhang Yuan's speed, coupled with Coutinho and Sturridge's quick follow-up, they have essentially formed a 3v2, and Zhang Yuan's deliberate walk to the bottom line also forced the opponent to have to rely on him. This side formed an effective defense, and the result was a failure.

There was no suspense in Sturridge's explosive shot. The ball hit the net hard. Zhang Yuan felt, Daniel, are you trying to penetrate the net? !
Sturridge's reaction after scoring a goal was not to run to the sidelines, but to point his hands at Zhang Yuan, and ran to Zhang Yuan at his own pace, and Coutinho didn't run to Sturridge, either. Ran to Zhang Yuan.

See, people who don't eat alone are always easy to be popular!

The two people who are most directly related to Zhang Yuan on the field admire Zhang Yuan, because they also have a vague feeling that Zhang Yuan can pass Kompany and shoot in one go, but he chose this way, which shows that Zhang Yuan Far willing to contribute to teammates!
Who doesn't want to score more penalties, the current society is like this, a striker who can score goals is a good striker, a midfielder who can score goals is a good midfielder, and a defender who can score goals is a good defender!
Zhang Yuan is older than Coutinho, but younger than Sturridge, but at the moment he is like a big brother, hugging left and right!

It is easy to conquer the audience, but it is not easy to conquer the teammates!
