Football’s First Defender

The poor start record reminded everyone of Liverpool's decline at the beginning of last year's start.

Some fans are very worried about Liverpool's current situation, but there are also quite a few fans who maintain Buddhism.

"What are you panicking about? Didn't you see all the counterattacks in the Liverpool league last season? The same script, familiar taste, three consecutive Premier League titles, the first team to defend the Champions League after the restructuring, Liverpool Dynasty Come on!"

"Rodgers just had a brain twitch. He hasn't found a good offensive system for the team. It really doesn't work. Think about the original offensive 'system' during Dalglish's time. He thought so much about dry balls and directly pushed forward. The defense was handed over to Yang Feng. That's all right."

"I haven't watched too much football upstairs. It's been a few years. Don't you know the counterattack standard of each team now?" It has become the consensus of many teams."

"I have to say that Yang Feng is a real NB."

"Well... second only to my Messi."

"Second only to my Ronaldo"

"Barcelona dog thief looking for death!"

"Real Madrid fans go away!"

For Liverpool, the losing streak is quite simple to stop.

After all, the hard power of the team's players lies there. As a team that has won two consecutive Premier League titles, winning should not have been so difficult.

In the second round of the Premier League, Liverpool, which has lost three consecutive games in all competitions, sits at Anfield at home and faces visiting Bournemouth.

Bournemouth, who had just been promoted to the Premier League as the champion of the English Championship, hugged a thigh as soon as they entered the Premier League!

Through the relationship between the team management and Chelsea, Bournemouth, which is in urgent need of supplementary combat power, has purchased and loaned a large number of young and capable players from Chelsea on the basis of existing players to further strengthen the team's strength. .

A satellite team of the Eredivisie League is obviously unable to satisfy Chelsea's growing group of little monsters. In order to better support the construction of the first team and provide talents more suitable for the Premier League, in the English Championship, the League One is full of people. In the case of Chelsea's leveling demons, Chelsea also need to have a higher Premier League platform, with a non-hostile Premier League team as a player's leveling place.

Bournemouth, whose goal is to complete relegation in the new season, has reached a "strategic partnership" relationship with Chelsea in this way.

The joining of several players with a Chelsea background, coupled with the expansion of the team itself, has given Bournemouth the confidence to stay in the Premier League in the new season.

After the UEFA Super Cup, it may be the stimulation of the three-game losing streak, or it may be the problem of team personnel being disorganized, which made Rogers very aggressive to make a large-scale personnel adjustment to the starting roster again. Rogers wanted to ask for a change.

Sturridge will be out for three weeks with another hip injury.

This allows Coutinho to return to the position of left winger last season, but has been given more freedom, while Lallana is still on the right, but this time he is slightly on the stance, and can also be more central. Some, can give full play to Lallana's characteristics, rather than being a substitute for Sterling.

In terms of the configuration of the three midfielders, Henderson and Firmino will be the players involved in the offense of this lineup, while Milner, who is also a free transfer newcomer, will appear in the starting midfielder position.

The back line has also undergone major changes.

It may be that he was dissatisfied with the performance of the two full-backs on both ends of the offense and defense in the first three games. In this league, new aids Klein and Gomez both started as full-backs on the two sides.

Rodgers, who had been seeking stability before, sent a full five new players after a three-game losing streak to forcibly increase the vitality of the team and strive for victory in the game.

Facts have proved that although the starting of five new players is a great damage to the tacit understanding of the team, the enthusiasm and personal strength of the players are there. Amidst the cheers of the fans on the scene, they still suppressed Burke. Enmouth, the new Premier League team.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool had the advantage in possession of the ball. The young Bournemouth players, in the terrifying stadium of Anfield, were a little frightened by the shouts of the fans.

The visiting team played timidly, allowing Liverpool to directly grasp the rhythm of the game and take the initiative.

However, the possession of the ball is indeed controlled by Liverpool. Liverpool also formed a siege against the visiting team at home, but in the end, it is still an old problem that has appeared in the new season. How to succeed?

All the offensive preparations in front of Liverpool were done well, but in the end, they just couldn't form enough threats to hit the goal.

Whether it's Coutinho, Lallana and others' familiar pass-and-control style of play, or Klein, or Gomez's pass from the wing, find a direct connection to Benteke.

At the last moment, at the end, it was always impossible to penetrate Bournemouth's defense and there was no way to score.

Although under the suppression of Liverpool, the visiting team Bournemouth did not have a few chances to threaten Liverpool's counterattack, but Liverpool's offense also did not have a few shots that could truly threaten to score.

Blindly pouring the ball from the outside and trying to cross, but they were all retracted by Bournemouth's defense line, which was easily resolved.

Fortunately, Bournemouth is a young team after all, and the team's inherent thinking of the British Championship still needs a lot of time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

At the beginning of the second half, Bournemouth, who was obviously slow, was seized by Liverpool.

Liverpool's continuous offensive suppression has won a lot of corner kicks and free kicks.

Familiar with the rhythm of the British Championship game that was slow in the opening stage and scored crazy goals at the last moment, Bournemouth's defensive arrangement at the beginning of the second half seemed a little loose.

Benteke, the center player who came to Anfield at a high price, although he received the key defensive attention of Bournemouth.

However, in a corner kick, he found an opportunity, ran, took off, and competed for the top. Although under the pressure of defense, Benteke knew that the threat of hitting the goal directly was not great, but a header ferry still made Benteke The direct header found Yang Feng not far away.

The header relay of two tall players, Yang Feng, who was in the back position, directly overwhelmed the young Cook, shook his head and hit the goal, helping Liverpool take the lead in the score.

And this goal also made Liverpool finally break the scoring drought since the past few games, and once again found the feeling that they might win.

However, for Liverpool, there are many shortcomings that need to be discovered one by one in the game.

Everyone was complaining about Liverpool's offensive position before, but in this game, Liverpool had new problems exposed.

After Liverpool took the lead and Bournemouth was forced to attack, Liverpool's counterattack threat and the lack of Sterling's speed made many people feel that they had lost the charm of last season.

The counterattack is no longer sharp, it is a bit slow, and it does not have the threat of directly killing the penalty area. The final stage of the game is a bit worrying.

In the end, Liverpool did not score again. Instead, it relied on the team's difficult defense at the last moment to lock Bournemouth's offense and win the game.

1 to 0, after a three-game losing streak at the beginning of the season, although the victory process was a bit shabby, it is a good thing for many Liverpool fans to win and get back on track.

However, just when everyone is still full of longing for Liverpool's future, they don't know that the victory in this game may simply be a reflection of Liverpool...
