Section 440 The fastest counterattack
On the pitch, Neuer was still loudly pestering the referee about a ball just now, and he insisted that Torres had fouled it. However, the referee Foy just shook his head at him, and did not admit that it was a foul: he saw very clearly, Torres did not even touch Neuer, how could it be considered a foul?
"He fouled, he fouled, he ......"
"Manuel, shut up! You still have a face to talk about this ball, how do you play the ball, the defender hasn't made up for it yet, you just run forward! Stop chirping and dismissing your own guys, get back to the goal-line and defend – if you don't feel like you're out of shape, I'm going to talk to the coach about Samir on the pitch! So much nonsense like a, who taught you! ”
Palmeri's loud scolding made Neuer stop. He turned his head, but he didn't know what to say. He didn't expect that Palmeri, who was younger than him, would scold him so mercilessly on the field in front of so many fans.
He wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but he also knew that he couldn't quarrel in the arena. More importantly, he knows very well that Palmeri is right - Boateng has been passed, why does Palmery have to go up to fill the position, you are a goalkeeper rushing forward so happily, what is the matter?
Neuer, the goalkeeper, is indeed very good, his physical fitness is good, his skills are also good, his coverage is large, and his feet are delicate, these aspects make him very suitable for modern football. But he has a lot of problems. Poor air defense, problems with set-piece judgment, lack of hand control and too much attacking awareness are all problems. Moreover, the biggest problem is that his temper is a bit two, on the good side, this is a necessary condition for a decisive attack, but on the bad side, this is a great instability.
Li Bin's main training this season is his immature goal-line skills, as well as his ability to defend set-pieces and control the ball with his hands. The Premier League attaches great importance to set-pieces, and if you don't train well, and if you don't control the ball well, you are likely to be shot to death, these aspects are all important to Li Bin, and because the back line has not been run in well anyway, there is a little less training for his tactical coordination ability. And because the backline is not good enough, it is indeed easy to have problems, and Neuer has also had many saviors in danger, which has also greatly increased Neuer's self-confidence, so he has the practice of rushing into the game.
However, this has finally caused trouble. When the tactics are bad, it's a good thing for him to step forward, but when the tactics are more mature, he makes his own decisions, and it is to cause trouble. Torres capitalised on his mistake to score and Neuer finally tasted the bitter fruit.
Palmeri's reprimand for him is what Palmeri learned in Serie A. Italy is a place where defense is important, but they don't advocate the use of all kinds of cleverness. The referee has the final say on whether there is a foul or not in the game, and there is no reason for the player to have the final say. Italy can have Corina because they have this habit of respecting the referee, and when someone kicks a goal, he says that the opponent is a foul, which he can't do, and he is quite disgusted.
Neuer, who was reprimanded by him, stared at him for a long time, but still did not say anything, but walked towards the goal.
There are two advantages, if it is another goalkeeper who has made countless contributions to the team, but is reprimanded by young people in the game, it is estimated that he will turn his face. However, Neuer's temper is not like this, he doesn't value his face so much - he won't pull the referee to foul - he cares more about the opinions of his teammates, and seeing that his teammates are so dissatisfied, he knows that he should reflect.
Seeing Neuer coming back, Palmeri also ran over, he laughed and soothed, patted Neuer's face, and walked forward, and behind him, Neuer was shaking again and ready to kick the ball.
Such a change made Li Bin on the sidelines a little happy. Seeing that Neuer was disciplined in this way, he also thought that this was not necessarily a bad thing.
In my memory, although Neuer's level has grown fast, his temper has always been a little crazy. Neither Heynckes nor Guardiola has changed his temper, especially during the Guardiola period, when he attacks, he will run to the middle circle, which is very common. In Bayern's environment, it is difficult for him to learn what it means to be stable - Ram, Piggy, and Muller are not stable people, and his second-hand temper, the advantage of Muller's second-hand temper, can easily become a manic character. The same thing, whether a teammate reprimands him twice and asks him to go back to the goal, or his teammates besiege the referee together and ask for a change in the decision, the impact on the young players is completely different. Players at this age are still very immature, and they can learn what they are taught. Teach them every day that they should be greedy and cheap, and intimidate the referee, and they must have developed the mentality of being a son. Teach them to respect the referee and respect the game, and they will gradually know how to play football and how to exercise the temperament of the game. Neuer's temper will be a temper if it is given to those Germans who can do it and squeeze out meritorious deeds, and if it is taught by a player with a steady character, he may be able to become a domineering goalkeeper - Kahn is the lucky one, he met Effenberg and others, and his character was achieved, and now, Neuer, with the help of Palmeri, is also taking this path.
It's not wrong to be young and frivolous, as long as you can grow up to be a man.
This also made Li Bin sigh twice: Palmeri, this kid, is really arrogant enough, in front of so many people, he dares to reprimand his teammates like this...... This temper is really promising. It's a good thing to have such a leader at the back.
After Liverpool had scored one, they were also trying hard to score a second. Unfortunately, they didn't have any chances to play well throughout the first half, and by the end of the first half, they were only 1-1 drawn. And in the midfield, entering the locker room, Li Bin also inquired about the news of the team over there.
Manchester United are 2-0 up and Chelsea are 1-0 up, so they won't have a problem winning the opposition. The final position still depends on Tottenham and Liverpool.
"Guys, you've heard that our wins and losses are related to the bottom of the Premier League, and now we're the ones who decide the best result of the Premier League season, how this season goes, how it goes next season, it's all in our hands - if you lose, then no one blames you, just blame you for being stupid. Give me a good kick and let Liverpool see, they haven't won yet! ”
Li Bin encouraged the players and let them go back on the field again. He doesn't have any tactics to change, at this time, what is fighting is willpower and execution.
In the second half, Liverpool had their chances right away. Tottenham's Thiago Silva in the middle tried to find Suarez with a long pass, but after being tackled by Mascherano, he gave the ball to Alonso on the right. Alonso, behind the halfway line on the right, didn't opt for a long pass, but slid the ball straight to the right!
Torres snapped back with a quick recoil. By the time he got the ball, he was almost parallel to Boateng. It only took one step for him to overtake Boateng and the anti-offside position was successful!
Boateng tried hard to stop Torres, but Torres flicked the ball at his feet, and a sharp stop caused Boateng to run past, and he flashed Boateng and immediately threw it towards the middle, trying to create a chance.
This time, however, Tottenham's defence was not in any further trouble. Thiago Silva rushed up and defended carefully in front of Torres. He didn't choose to go straight to his feet, but kept adjusting his pace, blocking Torres' breakthrough and shooting lanes.
Torres is a strong striker, and his physicality makes him less afraid of pressing hard, and for him, a technical defensive is more effective. This is also for what to make up for Thiago Silva. His characteristics are more suitable for dealing with Torres.
Boateng has already started to chase back, and Torres knows he doesn't have a chance. He slammed his foot into the bottom left corner of the corner, but Neuer fell to the ground just as quickly and took the ball in his arms and didn't give Torres a chance to break the net.
'Tottenham's rotation at the back was very good and Torres didn't take his chances.
Jerome Boateng's defence may not have been great, but Tottenham's defence has not had any problems. The defence of the back three is to put pressure on the opponent so that the opponent cannot break through, and Tottenham have done a good job in this regard.
Premier League defenders, they can't do that. They have been taught by the back four from a young age, and the concept of zone defense. For them, as long as the ball is not in their area of defensive responsibility, then it is good to be a spectator on the field. However, none of Tottenham's three defenders are Premier League players and they know how to defend. Defensively, they will be eaten once or twice by a top striker like Torres, but they will not be directly knocked over. The defense relies on the system, without the system, and the defense is all based on personal ability, Li Bin will not use it.
Torres was still slowly running back to participate in the defense, but he didn't see that Neuer was already running forward with the ball. He didn't choose to pass the ball to the ground and launch a safe attack, but suddenly kicked the ball out of the way!
He knew that if he wanted Tottenham's situation to improve, he needed to fight back!
"Neuer's big feet...... My God! ”
Neuer's big foot rushed straight across the pitch and landed towards the penalty area. Although everyone knows that Neuer has shown a strong ability to open his feet when playing this season, no one expected that he would kick the ball out of the ball so far!
Moreover, this ball is not only far away, but also accurate. Kicking is also a skill, a very important skill for goalkeepers. Joe Hart, the local goalkeeper who has performed very well this season, has a pass success rate of less than 60% because he has too many big feet, and this kind of technique is definitely not enough to support the team's attack, but Neuer's technique is good enough!
The cramped pitch at White Hart Lane was a real addition to Neuer, and up front, Edinson Cavani had already rushed up. Hyypia next to him didn't expect that this was a pass directly to the striker, and the defense was already a step slow, Cavani was in the penalty area, and he rushed to the top to push the ball out!
Reina pounced, but he knew he was already a step too slow. He had even seen the ball go into the goal, and he felt that this ball was simply tormenting!
However, a crisp sound brought him back to the world from hell. The soccer ball hit the crossbar and bounced off.
Carragher, who received the ball, cleared the ball out of the touchline with one kick. Liverpool survived, and they haven't completely failed yet!
'Liverpool are still down by one goal and haven't conceded another goal, so it's their luck, but will they be able to come back on their side? We'll see. ”
Tottenham missed a great chance, but the game was not over.
Carragher looked at his teammates in front of him, before the game, he was extremely confident that he would win, but now, looking at such a dangerous situation, he was also asking himself: will he really win?
