Football’s First Defender

Suarez was a little depressed. At the critical moment of the game, he even gave his opponent a handball gift, which "assisted" Chelsea to take the lead.

Although his teammates did not complain about himself, and although the kops on the scene were still cheering for him, Suarez could not cross the threshold where the team might lose because of his own defensive mistakes. Suarez was full of fighting spirit in his heart and had to work hard , To find an opportunity to atone with a goal.

When the Chelsea players celebrated Hazard's goal, Rodgers made two substitution adjustments.

The two sides have been in a balance of power before, and the coaches of both sides did not change players rashly, and did not want to give the opponent the opportunity to catch the unstable lineup.

So at 80 minutes of the game, the original team that started the game was still fighting.

Now, Liverpool, who are behind, can only choose to put all their eggs in one basket at home, hoping to seize the time, replace with a new offensive force, and pull back the goal behind.

Coutinho replaced midfielder Lucas, Sterling replaced Downing, and Rodgers replaced with another offensive lineup, hoping to achieve miraculous results.

On the Benitez side, there was no substitution adjustment after the lead at the last moment. Although there are many experienced defensive players on the bench, considering the impact of Liverpool's young strikers, Benitez still has doubts about whether these veterans can keep up with the defensive rhythm.

These doubts are aimed at Chelsea veterans like Lampard, Terry and Ferreira.

In the end, Benitez chose to continue to believe in these players on the field. Believe in them, they can do their duties well on the defensive end and limit Liverpool's final desperate attack.

Liverpool's offensive began to lean towards Chelsea's half irrespective of the situation.

Even though Chelsea's counterattack created a greater offensive threat in comparison, Liverpool can no longer afford to consider the defense at this time.

Losing one goal is also losing, and losing two goals is also losing. Liverpool just want to use offense to try not to lose.

At the last moment of the game, the defense was completely handed over to Yang Feng and Skrtel, and Liverpool's two full-backs also began to step in significantly to strengthen the team's offensive firepower in the frontcourt.

Suarez really wants to perform on the offensive end, but facing Ivanovic's defense again, there is still no good way to get rid of Ivan's defense.

At this time, the adjustment of Liverpool's personnel, deployment, after Sterling came on the field, has already made the trident match of the offensive players in the frontcourt, only the option of Suarez rushing forward, Sturridge and Sterling separated. , can maximize the full strength of the three of them.

Even knowing that Suarez did not perform well at the center position today, Rogers can only use this kind of offensive coordination at this time to ensure that the team can create better opportunities on both sides to the greatest extent.

Rogers hopes that Suarez can use his personal adjustment ability to find his game state at the forefront.

Liverpool's offense is focused on the team's breakthroughs on the two sides, or in other words, avoiding Chelsea's strong central defense, and on the two sides, with constant impact, looking for the easiest offensive opportunities.

Especially on Sterling's side, when he came off the bench at the last moment, facing the opponent's defensive players with poor physical fitness, Sterling can maximize his speed advantage and hold back a lot of Chelsea's defensive attention on the right. .

It's just that Chelsea's defense in the middle and in the penalty area today is really excellent and in place. Sterling can create opportunities to pass, but he can't escape Chelsea's interception line in front of the goal.

Whether it was a cross or a flat ball, Chelsea's defense did not refuse anyone, and they all completed effective clearances.

Not just a simple clearance, sometimes Chelsea will form a certain counterattack threat.

Chelsea's counterattack was smooth and threatening, but this kind of threatening counterattack may not be an opportunity for Liverpool.

Yang Feng has been waiting for the opponent's counterattack at the back. On the one hand, he has to complete the defensive task, and on the other hand, he has to contribute his strength to the team's offense.

"Yang Feng's excellent defensive anticipation ability accurately predicted Mata's transfer of the ball and successfully completed the interception."

"After Yang Feng adjusted, he made a direct long pass and found Suarez who was still in Chelsea's half."

Chelsea's counterattack, in order to score another goal and seal the victory, still invested a lot of troops at the end of the game, and Chelsea's overall formation must be a lot earlier in order to avoid getting out of touch.

The counterattack after Chelsea's counterattack, the space after this fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, is definitely a good opportunity for Liverpool to attack.

Yang Feng's long pass is hoping to take advantage of the vast space in Chelsea's half.

It's just that Ivanovic's defense and defense were excellent, and he didn't slack off because it was Chelsea's counterattack round. Ivan, who followed Suarez, and Suarez both came to Yang Feng's long pass ahead of time, competing for the first place of the ball.

Suarez's contention in this standing position is certainly not comparable to that of Ivanovic, who has an advantage in height and weight.

Although Suarez has been moving in various directions and constantly trying to confront Ivan physically, Ivan remains motionless and only needs to stand in the position he thinks is the best.

The two took off to compete for the landing point, and Suarez was at an absolute disadvantage. Even though Suarez used a slightly fouled action, he grabbed a certain amount of space for the jump, which prevented Ivanovic from directly completing the clearance.

But the second landing point of the ball flew to the uninhabited area not far away. After Ivanovic landed, he directly opened his arms and supported Suarez to prevent Suarez from accelerating, so that he could occupy a favorable position. Physical confrontation, the first to catch up to the second landing point.

Suarez was grabbed by Ivan, and the referee didn't blow his whistle immediately. Suarez knew that he had no chance to win the ball.

Being held back, there was no way to speed up. Ivan completely "dragged" himself and reached the landing point first to complete the rescue.

At this time, Suarez had mixed emotions.

Helplessness, anger, urgency, and a variety of emotions erupted at this moment.

Suarez recalled that he was personally restricted by Ivanovic in the whole game. Suarez thought of Ivanovic's small actions against him in private. Suarez thought of when he accidentally handballed just now. The accusations of jumping feet next to him sounded the scene of Ivanovic smiling and applauding after the referee awarded a penalty kick.

Looking at Ivanovic, who was holding himself up and smiling for this successful defense, Suarez felt an evil fire in his heart.

"what happened?"

"Ivanovic went straight to Suarez and staged a full-fledged fight."

"Ivanovic's physical advantage is too obvious. Just hold Suarez's head with one hand, and Suarez will fall directly..."

The referee rushed over immediately and directly showed both sides of the conflict a yellow card to resolve the heated situation on the field.

Ivanovic, on the other hand, pointed to his arm and made a statement to the referee.

Previously, due to the live broadcast footage, I had been following the football that was fighting for the top, but Suarez and Ivan, who were chasing the second landing point, were not photographed.

With the replay of another broadcast shot, the audience in front of the TV saw a surprising scene.

Suarez, who had no advantage in body position, actually bent down and bit Ivan's arm holding him while running, which caused Ivan to hug and throw him later.

"Suarez! He actually bit Ivanovic's arm during the game..."
