Chapter 973 Performance in Advantage

While Southampton's coaching staff breathed a sigh of relief, Liverpool's coaching staff regretted it.

A great opportunity for momentum, just missed.

However, in the next time, Liverpool still have a chance, as long as they can defend Southampton's offense.

After the pressing was resolved, Liverpool began to retreat and defend. Their defense has improved a lot this season. Although the average goal cannot determine the scoring ability of a team in a single game, the average goal conceded can be a good measure. A team's defensive capabilities.

Liverpool conceded only 22 goals this season, more than half of Southampton's conceded goals, and is the team with the fewest conceded goals in the entire Premier League.

In the case of constantly launching fast offenses, they can still have such a performance, which is enough to prove how much Liverpool's defense has improved this season.

In this process, Van Dijk has made great contributions. His performance this season is at the Golden Globe level.

Being able to perform like this as a defender, his value has exceeded the highest value that a central defender can achieve.

So when Southampton began to pass the offense patiently, Liverpool's defense was still quite solid.

Du Yue was running in the penalty area, constantly observing Van Dijk's movements.

He knew that Van Dijk could have such a performance, not only because of his excellent strength, but also because this season, he has combined to the best level in terms of age, experience and body, and is the pinnacle of a player.

Such a peak has such a performance, which brings great self-confidence, and this self-confidence in turn stimulates him to perform even better.

This is a positive cycle that everyone envies.

It is precisely because of such an outstanding performance and enough self-confidence that he has the confidence to command the defense and make up for his teammates while marking Du Yue.

In fact, during this period of time, Van Dijk has been doing very well, showing his top strength.

However, this is not unavailable.

When Van Dijk is distracted, take a chance, take it and score!

The forward's advantage is here, they can be marked and controlled by the central defender all the time, but as long as there is a chance, he can score goals in the game!

The moment he scored a goal, he was the winner. No matter how many times he was destroyed by defenders and how many times he was marked at other times, he was the winner.

Southampton's offense played very smoothly. They kept looking for opportunities, and then continued to control the midfield after the shot, and launched an attack again. They planned to use wave after wave of offense to suppress Liverpool until they scored. until the ball.

Cancelo made a pass from the right to the far point. Grealish volleyed from a small angle and was kicked out by Alisson. The ball flew out of the penalty area and was controlled by De Bruyne. Southampton continued to initiate attack.

After Chilwell cut inside, he made a two-for-one cooperation with Du Yue, and then crossed the ball. Rodri followed up and shot directly without stopping the ball. The ball was blocked by Van Dijk, and Du Yue wanted to make a supplementary shot , Matip, who was replaced, flew and kicked the ball out.

The ball flew near the middle circle, Dericht took off to control the first landing point, Southampton got the ball again and continued to attack.

Southampton's wave after wave of offensive rhythm makes Liverpool fans anxious, but Klopp is not worried. As long as Southampton fails to score a goal, their constantly suppressing offense is actually very important. Consuming physical energy and energy, if it continues, how much ability do they have to continue to suppress Liverpool?

When they can't suppress it, it's when Liverpool explodes!

What's more, during this period, it is also a good opportunity for Liverpool to fight back!

Under the leadership of Van Dijk, Liverpool's defense is simply impenetrable, so what is there to worry about?

In fact, he was right about these points. Southampton paid a high price to suppress Liverpool's offense in this way. The most feared thing in the stalemate stage is that they paid a huge price but did not gain anything. No matter how strong Southampton's possession is , It is impossible to suppress Liverpool like this in all games in the second half, that is, to suppress for a while. If you can't score a goal this time, it will be Liverpool's turn to take the advantage next.

Among the top teams, no team can always occupy the upper hand. The momentary gains are all paid for later, but if they can take the lead first, then such a price is worth it.

The game went to No. 601 minutes.

This is a very delicate timing. The two sides are constantly looking for opportunities on the field, and when De Bruyne takes the ball again in the midfield, Liverpool has no special vigilance.

After all, De Bruyne is the core of Southampton's midfielder. It is normal for him to take the ball in the midfield. If he is nervous every time he takes the ball, how can he be nervous.

However, after taking the ball this time, De Bruyne lifted his foot and pretended to pass the ball, but quickly flicked the ball and broke through!

Wijnaldum was broken through, but Liverpool's defensive response was still very fast, and Fabinho quickly rushed over.

De Bruyne stepped on the ball, pulled it sideways, then turned around, and walked past Fabinho with the ball!

Marseilles turn!

At this moment, De Bruyne was radiant on the court, and Fabinho was turned by De Bruyne almost without resistance. After getting rid of Fabinho, De Bruyne quickly Take a kick and pass the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Du Yue, who quickly moved forward, took the ball, and Van Dijk also responded immediately. He came to defend from the side, ready to interfere with Du Yue's offense.

However, at the same time, B Fei had already run laterally to the other side of the penalty area. Du Yue raised his foot and passed the ball out...

Van Dijk immediately stopped his center of gravity, turned around and was about to pounce again.

However, as soon as the ball left Du Yue's feet, Du Yue quickly lifted his feet, pulled the ball back, and then broke forward!

Van Dijk was harmed by his sensitive reaction.

With the center of gravity shifted, he had already rushed out. Although he abruptly stopped his momentum, he could no longer turn around and rush back. He could only watch Du Yue whizzing past him with the ball!

If he hadn't considered too many things, he wouldn't have been easily fooled by Du Yue's quick fake move!

In other words, if he reacted a little slower, he wouldn't be fooled.

Du Yue rushed past Van Dijk's defense with the ball, and then faced Alisson who was attacking. A realistic shot fake made Alisson fall to the ground. On the ball, the ball was accurately kicked into the empty goal!
