Football’s First Defender

Yang Feng's outstanding performance in the set kick this time opened the first record for the team.

Liverpool took the lead again at home.

In the game, scoring the first goal, for Liverpool, no matter who the opponent is, Liverpool will have a high probability of winning this game.

For the Chelsea team, when they are behind, they naturally need to complete a better offense in the game, and they can use a good offensive performance to try to score away goals in the game.

In this game, Chelsea will naturally not give up if they are one goal behind in the game.

There must be a lot of viewers watching the live broadcast of this mid-week make-up match. Even if it is for the fans watching the live broadcast of this kind of strong confrontation, Chelsea also needs to perform better in the game and deserve their support. own fans.

And Liverpool, after taking the lead at home, also needs to seek stability in the game to ensure that the team can firmly hold the lead in their own hands.

Playing a strong team is naturally different from playing a weak team.

In the previous few games, when Liverpool faced a weaker team, after scoring a leading goal, they continued to launch their own offensive suppression to try to expand the score advantage as soon as possible.

But when facing an opponent of Chelsea's level, for Liverpool, it is natural that they will no longer be so confident in continuing to launch a full-scale attack.

After all, if they really attack recklessly like this, they will expose the defense line more, which may allow Chelsea to seize the opportunity to counterattack, but cause a lot of trouble for themselves.

What kind of opponent to face, what kind of play to choose.

For Liverpool, the victory of the game is the most important thing. In this game, Liverpool doesn't have to think about other things. Naturally, they have to use their best to strive for victory in the game.

Liverpool chose to give priority to their own defense in the game to give full play to their home court advantage, and then go to play against Chelsea.

Try to do a good job of your own defense, use the defensive counterattack to create a greater counterattack threat, and strive to score the second goal in the game as soon as possible, which can expand the score.

And Chelsea, which is behind in the away game, is of course unwilling to be in such a backward state. The formation of the Chelsea team began to slowly move forward, and more and more offensive players were invested in the offensive end to complete a better game. Offensive play.

Chelsea consciously increased their own offensive efforts, while Liverpool also defended well, looked for opportunities, and counterattacked their opponents.

And just when the game is going on like this, Chelsea's attack is actually in line with Liverpool's defensive system.

As long as Chelsea wants to attack, Liverpool's high position oppresses the defense, and Liverpool's excellent defensive strength, as long as they can resist Chelsea's offensive, then Liverpool's counterattack, facing the defense composed of Cahill and Milk, has a great chance , can directly achieve a very good counterattack effect in the game, and then play a very threatening counterattack in the game.

In the 29th minute of the game, when Chelsea failed to attack many times, and Liverpool also played several defensive counterattacks.

Liverpool finally played a wonderful counterattack in the game.

This time Chelsea's offense was very forward, and they had been making passes and cuts in Liverpool's defensive hinterland. However, in the last processing, Fabregas found a through ball towards Hazard, which was accurately judged by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng went straight up, intercepted the ball with one kick, and immediately passed the ball to Coutinho who was defending from outside the penalty area to the left wing.

It is because they are afraid of Liverpool's threat to counterattack that Chelsea players generally counterattack on the spot. Even if they use fouls and stop the ball in the backcourt, they can destroy Liverpool's counterattack, right?

But William also made a foul move, almost pulling and pulling, and almost stopped Coutinho with a hugging movement.

In the game, although Coutinho was almost knocked down by William, he passed the ball when he lost his balance, kicked the ball directly, and found the ball directly to Sturridge in front of the left. .

Favorable offense!

Although he saw William's foul action, the referee also wanted to use a yellow card to warn the Chelsea players not to use such foul tactics to interfere with the smoothness of the game and challenge their own bottom line.

However, seeing that Coutinho actually passed the ball, the referee must of course ensure the smoothness of the scene at the first moment, and this yellow card can be reissued later.

Coutinho's through ball found Sturridge ahead.

And Sturridge led the ball and accelerated forward.

Diagonally inserting directly into the middle, attracting Chelsea's defensive players, who had to come over to limit their breakthrough.

But all of Sturridge's actions were a cover, he didn't take two steps with the ball, looking at Firmino's running route in front, Sturridge sent a long-distance through ball directly in the midfield area.

A through ball was passed directly to the hinterland of Chelsea's penalty area, and Firmino and Cahill were sprinting short distances.

The horizontal position of the two is almost the same. Firmino is accelerating forward with all his strength, just to avoid being interfered by Cahill's physical confrontation. Firmino's ball is at the left and right distance, and Cahill Keep a distance of one meter.

Cahill was not given a chance to step up to a physical confrontation at all.

Then in the game, when it was all about competing for speed, it was obviously impossible for Cahill to run past Firmino within an acceleration distance of nearly 20 meters.

Firmino took the lead, moved forward at full speed, stopped and led directly, and led the ball directly to the front.

It's just that, in terms of the details of handling the ball, Firmino still didn't handle it well. There was some confusion under his feet, and he couldn't make his dribbling breakthrough speed reach the fastest speed.

Gave Cahill a chance to pursue from behind.

However, as a player who can play as a false center, Firmino is not afraid of physical confrontation, and he will also use his body reasonably, directly dribbling the ball into Cahill's forward route, which can be regarded as isolating Cahill Chase in the rear.

Cahill still has some scruples, whether his full impact will be called a foul by the referee in the penalty area.

However, Cahill's defensive pressure is still in place. For Firmino, there is Cahill's defensive interference in the back and Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois' attack threat in front, making it difficult to handle the ball at the end. At the time, Firmino obviously didn't adjust his steps well.

Firmino originally intended to make a fake shot to deceive Courtois, but he chose to smash the ball over Courtois to hit an empty goal during the game.

However, because his own footsteps were not adjusted to the best, and he kept rushing forward at the fastest speed, Firmino obviously lost some control of his body with this ball, and made his fake goal kicking. It was too fake, and Courtois was not deceived at all.

Courtois just lowered his center of gravity, and did not directly fall to the ground to save.

It was too late for Firmino to temporarily change his movements. When the body was in a state of high-speed movement, it defaulted to executing the instructions planned by the brain.

First he smashes the ball to his left foot, widens the angle, and then immediately hits the goal with a low shot.

Firmino's handling of the shot is quite good, and the ball still hits the goal frame.

It's just that Chelsea's goalkeeper Courtois was not shaken at the first time.

As a result, Firmino himself has accelerated to the vicinity of the small penalty area due to inertia, and when he completes the low shot with his left foot, the angle of the shot is actually not much.

At this time, Courtois fell to the ground and spread his legs to increase the defensive area, successfully blocking the ball.

Excellent defense, from Courtois, blocked a wonderful counterattack opportunity for Liverpool.

And just after Liverpool wasted an excellent one-handed opportunity by Firmino in the frontcourt, Chelsea's offense on this side made Liverpool waste the opportunity and received "retribution".

In the 32nd minute of the game, Chelsea's positional attack finally penetrated Liverpool's defense.

In fact, Liverpool defended Chelsea's offensive tactics quite well.

However, the superstars in Chelsea's formation are shining, making people hard to guard against.

When the team fell behind, Hazard showed why he was the third man after Melo.

Hazard, who received the ball on the left side of the court, was forced to break through the penalty area from the left side by himself during the positional battle.

Clyne, Firmino, Lallana and Henderson.

Hazard, facing the defense of four Liverpool players one after another, passed four in a small area, forced a breakthrough, and shocked everyone with his performance.

It is to use his own speed, excellent ability to combine the ball, explosive power, and changes in the offensive rhythm to continuously change directions in short distances and complete breakthroughs.

For a while, Hazard was like Messi, even stronger than Messi. At least Hazard's own physical confrontation ability ensured that he was not affected by Henderson's collision at all during the offense.

One person penetrated the entire Liverpool defense.

Yang Feng was stunned in the restricted area.

For this ball, Yang Feng's attention was not on Hazard.

After all, who would have thought that Hazard alone, receiving the ball from the wing, could pass four in a short period of time in a small area, and Yang Feng's supplementary defense could not be in place at all.

After Hazard entered the penalty area, he also shot with one foot, aiming directly at the back corner of the goal.

Since the ball was on the left just now, there is no problem with Mignolet standing in the forward position.

However, Mignolet did not expect that Hazard could break up the entire Liverpool defense in a short period of time. Mignolet's own position has not yet fully returned to the middle. At this time, he is facing Hazard. Er's shot could only be a flying save, but it was too late.

"The ball went in!"

"The ball went in!"

"Wow!"

"Azar!"

"An excellent display of individual ability."

"Hazard broke through Liverpool's entire defense alone, passed four people in a row, easily completed a kick in the penalty area, scored a goal, and equalized the score for Chelsea."

Everyone knows that Hazard is fierce, but no one could have imagined that Hazard could display such an outstanding personal offensive performance in a positional battle under such a strong duel.

This goal is definitely the best goal of this round of the Premier League. There is no doubt that he singled out Liverpool's entire defense and scored. Hazard's strength really made Chelsea find a treasure.

The score on the field became 1 to 1, and the score returned to a tie.

For Liverpool fans, it seems that it is not so easy to win today's game.

Chelsea's performance in the away game is really good, and the state of Chelsea players is also really good. It seems that it is not so easy to win this game easily.

After being equalized by Chelsea, it was Liverpool's turn to worry.

Although it is a make-up match, for Liverpool, with only two rounds left in the league and 5 points behind, this game cannot be won, so it is really important to reverse the standings in the last two rounds. It was a miracle.

Liverpool must not lose the victory of this game. They must win this game in the game.

With 10 minutes left before halftime, Liverpool began to reorganize their offense and attack with all their strength, trying to score another goal before halftime.

However, when facing Liverpool's offense, Chelsea began to defend again.

Chelsea's defensive counterattack is not bad. The team was behind before, so naturally they launched an attack to seek a breakthrough on the offensive end.

And now relying on Hazard's wonderful goal to get back a point, then for Chelsea, in the state of a draw, they are still behind and tied, so they can not be so anxious to attack.

Do a good job of defending. The ones who are anxious are naturally Liverpool who need to win. It is Chelsea's turn to do a good job of defending in the game. Just prepare to play a defensive counterattack.

When Chelsea defended the fence, Liverpool's offense fell into the state of being unable to attack in the early stage.

It's not that Liverpool's offensive players are not in good shape, but that Chelsea's defense is really tough, especially when almost all of them are in shape and defending hard. Liverpool's offense can only rely on luck to see if it is better. Opportunity.

Within 10 minutes before halftime, Liverpool tried a variety of offensive methods, but the results were not so good.

The most threatening offensive attempt was actually Coutinho's sudden long shot in the 41st minute of the game.

A long shot hit the upper right corner of the goal.

However, Courtois's position is very good, he directly blocked the ball with both hands, and did not let Coutinho hit the world wave.

At the end of the halftime game, the two places entered the intermission with a score of 1 to 1.
