Reese was clever and clever in his movements, Chen Yu passed decisively and timely, and when Reese headed the goal, there was no defender around him to interfere with him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Reese was a header from the back row, and there were too many attacking and defending players in the Aston Villa penalty area, and Reese did not have a large angle to choose from, and he could only head into the top corner of the goal.

There were a lot of people in the penalty area when the free kick was taken, although the fans were God's perspective, but their attention was also on the strikers and the central defenders who were best at heading, and most people did not have the presence of Riser in their eyes.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Taylor is in the middle of the goal, and his position is basically similar to defending corners, allowing him to take care of both the front and back, as well as to defend against the header in the front.

Risser's diagonal run from the wing to the top of the middle was just as much of a surprise to Taylor, but Taylor reacted quickly and leaped up to the top left of the net to save the ball with one hand just as it was about to fly into the top left corner.

"Smack!"

With a crisp sound of the ball being slammed out, the Aston Villa fans immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

"Beautiful! Taylor's beautiful pave! It was a world class save! China's Chen just sent a tricky free-kick that caught the defenders off guard, and Reese's header was close to perfect, but Taylor saved Villa! His save was the equivalent of a goal! ”

The commentator at the scene was amazed while patting his thigh, and his surprise was overflowing, obviously, he was also taken aback just now.

Chen Yu was watching after sending out the free kick, he was also full of expectations for this attack, his pass couldn't be better, Reese's header power angle is excellent, as long as the goalkeeper does not explode, scoring is a high probability event, seeing Taylor save the ball, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh.

Reese was even more disappointed than Chen Yu, as a defender, what an honor it would be to be able to score the first goal for the team in the first game of the new season, but this good opportunity to be in the limelight was robbed by Taylor, who looked at Taylor who waved his fist in celebration and hated the root of his teeth.

Liverpool's other players also regretted it, but the game had only started for less than a minute, and there was still a good chance, captain Gerrard, and vice-Carragher came over to comfort Chen Yu and Reese.

"It's not our fault that we didn't score, it's that the goalkeeper is too godly." Carragher sighed.

Gerrard hugged Chen Yu and Rieser and said, "Although I didn't score, but it boosted morale, don't worry, this is our blessed land, and we will score goals soon." “

Steven Gerrard has played a lot against Aston Villa and is full of confidence to play this team.

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Don't be careless, the goalkeeper explosion is also terrifying." “

Reese clenched his fists and said, "I have a chance to give him a few bursts to see if he has always been so amazing." ”

Gerrard said: "Reese, don't worry, you are a defender, not a striker, the task of scoring goals is still handed over to Chen, let Chen govern him." ”

Carragher also said: "Yes, there is no goalkeeper who Chen can't cure yet." ”

Chen Yu smiled and said: "Whoever can beat the goalkeeper alone, the main thing is to pull the defenders away and create good shooting opportunities for our forwards." ”

Gerrard smiled: "It's up to us, you're all about scoring goals, as long as we score first, everything will be easy." ”

Liverpool's side encouraged each other, and the players on Aston Villa's side were also comforting each other, Gerrard said that Reese's shot boosted morale, but what really boosted the morale of his teammates was Taylor's save, a good goalkeeper is worth half the team, Taylor miraculously saved an opponent's must-score shot in less than a minute of the opening game, which made his teammates' emotions high, such shots were saved, then they were more confident in defending against Liverpool's attack.

On the sidelines, Benitez and O'Neal's faces became more serious, Benitez was worried about the state of Villa goalkeeper Taylor, fearing that his attack would be terminated by Taylor; O'Neill is deeply jealous of Liverpool's attacking power, he has been preparing for this game for more than a week, thinking that Liverpool's attacking routines have been mastered, but he did not expect to be almost scored by Reese's header in the opening game, and now he feels that his tactics may need to be more cautious.

The game continued, and the main attack was still Liverpool, who were playing away.

The psychological advantage of being undefeated for many years, beyond the strength of the opponent, makes Liverpool full of confidence, they play very calmly, and they dare to boldly cooperate in the crowd of Aston Villa, whether it is a midfield striker or a defender, as long as it is not a dangerous area, they dare to take the ball, and they often take a direct breakthrough to attack when they are one-on-one.

Liverpool's attack is definitely sharp, but Aston Villa is also fully prepared to play at home, and has studied Liverpool's attacking routines very thoroughly, and they play quite conservatively, except for Norwegian high school striker Kalou in Liverpool's penalty area about fifteen meters in front of the penalty area to contain Liverpool's back line, the other striker in the front of the midfield to respond, the rest of the people are almost on the defensive.

Although Aston Villa has a lot of troops in defense, they have several fast horses, and there is a tall and strong center forward like Kalou in front of them who can hold the ball in front, which makes Liverpool's midfielders jealous and dare not go all out when attacking, which also makes Aston Villa's defensive pressure much less, so it has not been crushed by Liverpool's fierce attack.

Liverpool's control is also very strong, attacking for 20 minutes in a row without stopping, and almost not giving Aston Villa's players a chance to counterattack, although there is no goal, but the Aston Villa fans in the stands are still shocked, often forgetting to applaud their teammates and boo Liverpool's players, especially Pennant.

O'Neill stood on the sidelines and was still unmoved, he had experienced more games, and he didn't believe that Liverpool could keep attacking, attacking for 90 minutes, as long as the opponent was impatient and tired, that time was Aston Villa's chance to counterattack, and it was also his chance to beat Liverpool.

Now, O'Neill is waiting, twenty minutes is not a long time, O'Neill has the patience to wait for seventy or eighty minutes, these seventy or eighty minutes must be difficult, but if you want to fight a super giant like Liverpool, such pain is worth coming back.

Although less than a quarter of the 90 minutes have passed, but Liverpool can use the tricks that have been almost used, even if they continue to play, they have no tricks to use, whether they can break through the opponent's door later, in fact, it mainly depends on whether Aston Villa makes mistakes, if the opponent does not make any mistakes, or they do not catch it, then maybe by the end of the game they will not be able to break through the door of Aston Villa, although they have the upper hand in the game.

"Let's take it back, it doesn't seem to work very well to press them like this."

After another Liverpool underball cross was disrupted, Liverpool's tactical analyst Duff McDonoff suggested Benitez.

Benitez also felt that the opponent seemed to be getting more and more accustomed to playing like this, so he said: "It's okay, take it away, bring them out, now our strikers can't use their hands." Several people around Chen followed, and he couldn't show his great ability. ”

Assistant coach Jesterdam said: "Talk to Gerrard and let him think about it. ”

Benitez nodded, walked to the sidelines, called Gerrard over, simply told him what he meant, asked him to convey it to the rest of the team, shrink the line back, and lure the Aston Villa players out, if they can't do it, they will be considered rest, and then continue the siege.

Gerrard had already intended to take it away, and after listening to the manager's instructions, he immediately passed on the coach's intentions to each teammate, and the whole team began to recycle backwards.

The timing of Liverpool's recovery is good, many players of Aston Villa thought that Liverpool might be a little tired after attacking for so long, and they were ready to attack, but O'Neill did not let them attack on the sidelines, and Aston Villa's captain Barry also cautiously chose to wait and see, but the two forwards and two forwards moved forward.

In fact, O'Neill is also contradictory at this time, is Liverpool exhausted, or luring the enemy deeper? At this time, do you want to chase after the past and not let the opponent breathe this breath? After a short period of contemplation, O'Neill felt that the opponent was more likely to lure the opponent deeper, the game had only been played for 20 minutes, and Liverpool should not be exhausted, so he decided to continue to wait until the opponent was really tired from physical strength to physical fatigue before attacking aggressively.

Aston Villa's players will certainly not attack without the order of manager O'Neill, but they are fighting at home, in front of more than 40,000 loyal fans of their own, if the opponent retreats and does not dare to attack, just stay in their own half, this face is really ugly, so Aston Villa's players still invested part of their forces to tentatively attack Liverpool's penalty area.

Aston Villa's attacking players are mainly two forwards Karui and Ashley Young, Petrov and Abonlaho in the midfield, and new signing Leao. Cork.

Leo Cork is a natural leader and captained the side at just under the age of 20 when he was at Wimbledon. He joined West Ham in January 2004 and became the youngest captain in their history.

Leocock's role is similar to Liverpool's Alonso, and can partially replace the role of Aston Villa captain Barry, and now Villa is only tentative attack, so Barry still stays and lets Leocock try to take the lead.
