Football’s First Defender

No one thought that such a dramatic change would happen in the final moments of the game between Leicester City and Chelsea.

Leicester City took the lead in the 81st minute of the game, relying on Mahrez's long shot.

With little time left in the game, everyone thought that Leicester City's victory in this game was stable.

And Liverpool's last ten consecutive victories, but because the early digging hole was too big, and regrettably missed the chance to comeback.

However, Chelsea has acted as a spoiler.

The drama of allowing the weak to counterattack finally encountered the biggest crisis.

Chelsea's 89th minute of the game really equalized the score at the end of the game.

Relying on instantaneous scoring power, Liverpool achieved a 2-0 lead, and it also allowed Liverpool to lock in the victory as soon as possible. The idea of ​​staying power in the second half was more than half completed.

After leading by two goals, Liverpool did not slow down the rhythm, but continued to maintain or even speed up their own offensive and defensive rhythms, to strive for the ability to score more goals before halftime and continue to expand the lead.

Since they will face Chelsea next weekend, Liverpool need to give the players enough rest time on the basis of ensuring a smooth victory in this game.

Want to let the players get enough space to relax on the field, when facing a team like Swansea that is good at attacking, naturally they still want them to score more goals in the game and establish a large enough lead. .

Otherwise, a team that is good at offensive, if it is really in the half-time, playing crazy, there is completely room for miracles.

Therefore, Liverpool’s offensive did not actually slow down, but continued to seek more goals in the game, seizing all the time in the first half, striving to seal the victory.

The offensive organized by Liverpool itself and the counterattack that took place at the end of Swansea’s offensive during the offensive and defensive transition phase were extremely threatening.

Even if he has successfully scored two goals in the opponent's gate, the huge offensive threat seems to herald the third goal, which will come soon.

Of course, for the Liverpool players to save energy and stay in the key battle with Chelsea in the middle of the week, the Swansea players at home will not care so much.

For Swansea players, their goal at this stage in the game is simple.

With two goals behind, the outcome of this game is not so important to them.

The most important thing is that they have to play wonderful offensive cooperation, so that the fans watching the game have an emotional release point and a reason to cheer and celebrate.

Of course, giving comfort to the fans is one aspect. For the Swansea players, being able to perform well when facing Liverpool is also a recognition of their own strength.

Swansea is still launching an offensive. Not only the midfielders, but even the full-backs, are also fully inserted, trying to suppress Liverpool, and when they want to face the defending champion, they play a wave of suppressing offensive. .

It's just that the overall strength of Swansea's team is there. They have a good idea and are willing to invest in the number of offenses.

But in terms of offensive strength, it is not so good.

Liverpool's defensive composition at this time easily restricted Swansea's many offensive directions.

Swansea's offensive effect is not so significant.

On the other hand, Liverpool’s own counterattack is still quite threatening.

In the face of Liverpool's quick counterattack, Swansea's defense did not have too many tactics, and it was an attitude of doing everything in order.

If you can defend it, try to defend it.

It was impossible to prevent it, and there was no way to be scored by Liverpool for the third goal.

In the 41st minute of the game, Liverpool fought back again and finally penetrated Swansea's defense completely.

Swansea made a mistake in his offensive pass in the front field.

In the process of transferring the ball, Henderson suddenly completed the grab, which directly formed a steal.

And just after this steal, a few people in front of Liverpool immediately launched a counterattack.

Since Swansea’s full-backs have already stepped in to seek assists from the side, at this time, if they want to return to the defense, they need to run farther. The first time, the defender in Swansea’s backcourt faces Liverpool’s Quickly counterattack, there is not even the so-called superiority in the number of defenders.

When the team counterattacked and had considerable initiative, Henderson directly sent a through ball on the ground and hit the center to find Coutinho in front.

After receiving the ball, Coutinho took the ball forward.

And Sturridge is with Firmino, fast forward, almost pressing the Swansea defense line in the offensive, as long as the control is not offside, they both try to keep up with the Swansea defender The position is horizontal.

Coutinho’s ability to dribble and break through is very good. When Coutinho is dribbling the ball, the defensive players dare not even rush to the ground for fear that Coutinho will catch the opportunity and directly complete the pass.

During the 3v3 offensive and defensive process, Swansea's defense at this time cannot tolerate any defensive problems.

Appeared, letting Liverpool players get an open single chance near the penalty area, then it is no different from sending a goal.

However, although Coutinho himself has the opportunity to attack, after all, Coutinho himself has a super personal offensive ability. In the case of 1v1, Coutinho can also launch a strong attack personally, and can also create certain opportunity.

However, Coutinho himself is still trying to find the teammate with the best chance in the game.

Between Coutinho's posture before the big penalty area, he dipped the ball directly and pulled the angle away, as if he was about to hit the goal.

Swansea's defensive player, attacked with full force to stop Coutinho's goal.

However, the fake action of hitting the goal from a long distance is a cover.

Coutinho used the horizontal lap to open a certain angle, but not to hit the goal, but to pass the ball.

I saw Coutinho pick up the ball suddenly, a half-high ball, just over the head of the defensive player who came to defend Coutinho's long shot, and the ball was picked accurately to the small penalty area.

Firmino plugged in at full speed, and Coutinho was in perfect harmony.

Firmino's running route was a fake action first, and ran towards the back point, but then suddenly changed direction during the journey. By running to the forward point, he instantly gained a certain position advantage.

Coutinho's picking pass happened to land beside Firmino. Although the ball fell on the waist, it was a bit difficult to deal with, but it couldn't be embarrassing to Firmino.

The agility of South American players is best at using a variety of unconventional offensive moves on the offensive end to complete the goal or pass.

In the process of high-speed travel, Firmino completely jumped up and twisted his body, and completed a volley shot from his side, using an unconventional way of hitting the goal to complete this shot.

Although it was an unconventional way of shooting, it did not affect Firmino's high-quality shot, and the ball hit the goal frame from close range.

A shot completed near the small penalty area hit the goal, but did not bring a goal for Firmino.

It can only be said that the luck of the Swansea goalkeeper is really great.

Forcibly jumped on the spot, and extended his arms and legs to the limit to increase his defensive area. It was really like jumping in the air and giving the ball with his extended right foot.

It's just that it just blocked the ball.

You know Liverpool is running ahead, but double strikers.

Firmino and Coutinho completed the connection and took the lead to complete the shot, but there was still Sturridge looking for opportunities in front of the goal.

The Swansea goalkeeper was only able to block the ball, but then he was powerless.

Sturridge reacted very quickly. Facing the blocked football, he went straight forward and easily stabbed the empty goal with one kick, giving Liverpool a 3-goal lead.

Before the half of the game was over, Liverpool had a three-goal lead, which was almost a win.

Leading by 3 goals in the half, this advantage is big enough for Liverpool to allow the team to get a lot of time to repair in the second half.

However, in the last minutes of the first half, the Liverpool players still maintained pressure.

Do things have a head and a tail, relax in the second half, is the second half of the matter, the last few minutes of the first half, Liverpool players, not bad physical strength, to ensure their excellent game state.

And it turns out that after Swansea scored 3 goals by Liverpool, even if he didn't care about winning or losing the game, there were obviously some problems in the mentality of the players.

In the Swansea players, the mentality is obviously out of balance, and at the end of the half, there is still a strong willingness to attack.

But he continued to let his team's defense open completely facing Liverpool.

At this point in the game, for Liverpool, Swansea's backcourt defense is as wide as the sea, all defensive loopholes.

In the 44th minute of the game, when Swansea thought it was his last positional attack in the half, he was intercepted by a Liverpool player in the process of organizing the pass.

The Liverpool players, at the last minute, suddenly chose to collectively exert their strength and directly carried out a fierce fight in the midfield. Lallana succeeded in stealing the ball directly from the right side of the midfield.

And it was the successful steal this time that allowed Liverpool to once again play a very threatening frontcourt attack.

After Lallana intercepted the ball, he immediately passed the ball accurately and found Henderson who had penetrated forward.

After receiving the ball, Henderson took the lead and directly threatened Swansea's last line of defense.

Before the Swansea player, Henderson was not greedy for attack, but accurately saw the gesture made by Firmino running in the front.

A through ball directly passed the defender and found a position behind the defender, while Firmino accelerated with all his strength and used his speed to take the lead and receive the pass.

Even though Swansea’s central defender reacted at this time and wanted to use physical confrontation to create defensive pressure on Firmino, but before the opponent collided and affected his body balance, Firmino had already played. Finished a kick.

A low shot, this time, Firmino shot an excellent angle, and Swansea's goalkeeper, can no longer make a dedication.

4 to 0!

It took Liverpool less than 20 minutes to score 4 goals in a row and completely spent the game in half.

Indeed, Swansea’s offense has a certain degree of power. This is also Swansea’s home court, and Liverpool will also undergo certain corrections in the second half.

However, it is not an easy task to complete a four-goal reversal against Liverpool at home.

In the second half, Klopp went directly to the half-time stage and even changed two people to give Henderson and Coutinho a certain rest time.

And keep a place for substitutions to prevent players from being injured.

In the second half, even though Swansea was at home, he barely managed to fight the offense with the Liverpool players not actively fighting.

But facing Liverpool's three central defenders and Yang Feng's excellent defensive ability, there is no good way to get too many threatening attacks.

In the end, the two teams scored 1-4. Swansea, who played at home, scored a face-saving goal in the 71st minute of the game with Ayou's goal.

At other times, Yang Feng was completely the incarnation of Liverpool's defense line, the hardest shield, undermining Swansea's many attacks.

It's just a pity that although Liverpool's winning streak continued, in the subsequent games, the Liverpool team was not happy on the bus back to Merseyside.

Everyone was disgusted by the performance of their arch rival Manchester United.

Perhaps this game is a game that Liverpool most hopes Manchester United can win as a rival team.

But Manchester United, at their own Old Trafford Stadium, forcibly disgusted Liverpool.

This season, Manchester United continued its poor league performance in the post-Ferguson era.

So far, not only is there no hope for the championship, but the points in the Champions League have also been opened to close to double digits, which has caused considerable dissatisfaction among the Red Devils fans~www.NovelMTL.com~Looking at such a terrible performance of the rivals, Naturally, it makes Liverpool players and fans quite comfortable.

However, in the penultimate round of the league, Liverpool still hope that the rival team will give it a boost and block Leicester City at home.

There is no need for Manchester United to win at home, just not to lose to Leicester City and not to let Fox City take all 3 points. Then the initiative to win the championship will return to Liverpool's own at the end of the league after a whole season. Hands.

In recent rounds of the schedule, Liverpool played first, followed by Leicester City's game, which also allowed the ratings of Premier League games to rise in the atmosphere of the championship.

It's just that Manchester United sits at home today. Although it is all the main players, the team's performance is terrible.

It is hard to imagine that Manchester United, who sits at Old Trafford, was defended by Leicester City during the game, and there was no chance of attack.
