488, sassy like a meteor, in the midst of a hundred flowers
The whole process of Chu Ge's goal was replayed on TV.
Van Dijk looked at it seriously.
From the footage, Van Dijk was able to analyze that when Pogba passed the ball, Lovren did not follow Chu Ge closely. When Lovren realized that the danger was coming, Chu Ge had already thrown off his two positions, and at this time he chose to reach out to block it, and there was nothing wrong with this choice.
Even if he would get a yellow card for reaching out and pulling someone, he would have to do it.
There is no choice.
Only in this way did Lovren have the slightest chance to stop Chu Ge and sabotage Manchester United's counterattack.
This defensive move shows that Lovren's defensive experience is still good.
But.
Even if he did, it was slow. When he stretched out his hand to pull Chu Ge, Chu Ge had obviously been prepared for a long time, and an accelerated dodge made Lovren's defense fail.
"He's so fast."
"Moreover, the movement is also very good, almost pinching the time of Pogba's pass and suddenly sprinting in the opposite direction, basically not giving the defenders time to react."
As a top defender, Virgil van Dijk has a vicious eye.
In the eyes of fans, an ordinary fast-breaking shot, he can find a lot of details and insight into the things behind the camera.
Van Dijk was no surprise to Chu Ge's performance.
That's what a superplayer deserves.
In line with Van Dijk's expectations for Chu Ge.
And for this defense of Lovren......
Van Dijk has reservations.
"If it's me defending...... Van Dijk puts himself in Lovren's role.
Let's say it was him and not Lovren who was defending Chu Ge at the time.
So, is it possible for him to intercept Chu Ge?
Van Dijk thought for a moment on his own.
What he can say for sure is that he can do better than Lovren.
Whether it is defensive vigilance, positional sense, or anticipation of the opponent's attacking line, Van Dijk is a notch better than Lovren.
Merely.
On all accounts, Van Dijk was not confident that he would be able to dismantle United's attack.
Even if it was a foul to stop Chu Ge's breakthrough, Van Dijk was not completely sure.
"His counterrun was too sudden, and it was too fast." Van Dijk stared at Chu Ge in the camera and thought silently.
Such a striker with good speed and awareness is an opponent that no defender wants to encounter, and the slightest negligence in defense will miss the best opportunity to defend, which in turn will lead to a complete loss of position and no chance of remediation.
As for the footage of Chu Ge breaking through Liverpool's other defender, Clavan, after breaking through Lovren, Van Dijk didn't want to watch it.
This time, the defense will not help him.
Chu Ge's speed was completely rushed, and when he dribbled the ball at high speed, the distance of each step was knocked to the advantage, and he didn't give the defender any chance to take advantage of it at all. In particular, the change in his rhythm with the ball, the decisive and rapid change to the direction, is very similar to Kaka in his prime.
Such a breakthrough is completely unreasonable and eaten raw.
No defender can make a successful interception in such a passive situation.
It's not that the ability is insufficient.
but lost the opportunity to defend,
lost the "momentum" of the defense,
Bucking the trend is doomed.
……
"When I passed Lovren, the silver saddle shone on the white horse, like a shooting star, like a bell; When I got rid of Klavan, I passed among the flowers, and the leaves did not stick to my body, and it was like Kaka. ”
"A player combines the technical characteristics of two superstar-level players, and shows them in turn in the same pass, and there is no sense of patchwork, and the action is completed smoothly, exquisite and perfect, this is Chu Ge's strength."
"Nice break!"
"In the face of such a strong breakthrough, Liverpool this time did not lose unjustly!"
And Chu Ge's subsequent shot was a perfect sentence for his breakthrough. His shot was powerful, tricky and decisive, and didn't give Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet any chance. This goal, very beautiful, very exciting! ”
"After Manchester United unexpectedly fell behind because of a penalty, it was Chu Ge who stepped up again. His goal equalised and saved the Reds from a trailing position. It was a very important goal! ”
For Chu Ge's goal, Zhan Jun spoke highly of it.
"It's Manchester United's luck to have Chu Ge!"
Zhan Jun said proudly.
……
"Manchester United are really lucky."
After witnessing Chu Ge's solo ride and scoring on his own, Klopp shook his head.
He was a little depressed.
Liverpool's lead didn't last long, as it was wiped out by the goal, and Klopp's mood was affected.
Klopp glanced up at Chu Ge again.
And then
Shake your head.
There are players who you know you want to limit their play, but you just can't do that completely.
No matter what you try to target them, they always play so well.
Klopp frowned and gave Lovren a quick look.
He misses Van Dijk dearly.
……
After Chu Ge and his teammates celebrated the goal, he raised his arms and thanked the fans in the stadium for their support of the team and himself.
Meantime.
He was thinking, too.
He didn't deliberately use any skill for the goal just now.
But.
Whether it is breaking through Lovren, shaking past Clavan and finally shooting, the use of every technical move actually has the shadow of Chu Ge's mastered skills.
"Is this a fusion?"
Chu Ge thought to himself.
He seems to have some understanding of his own way of football.
Chu Ge glanced up at the scoreboard.
"1:1, this score is not good enough."
"We need to work harder."
As he thought, he looked at Anthony Martial on the other side of the pitch.
In today's game, Anthony Martial played okay.
But.
There is still some distance from Chu Ge's expectations.
Chu Ge hopes that Martial can be more active, a little more proactive, and more dribbling and pushing.
Chu Ge is undoubtedly the focus of Liverpool's defence.
He always attracts a lot of defenders.
In such a situation, Martial will be under less pressure. If Anthony can take advantage of the opportunity to tear through Liverpool's defence and open up new attacking space, it will have a very good effect.
That's why Chu Ge suggested that Ferguson start Anthony Martial.
Anthony Martial has the ability to do that.
Chu Ge also hoped that he could do it.
"Maybe I'll talk to him a little bit more at halftime."
"Football is a team game and everyone's contribution is very important. I need Anthony to be able to do more. ”
Chu Ge thought to himself.
