Portsmouth's strength in the Premier League is only mid-table, and Liverpool is still incomparable, but they were able to finish eighth in the Premier League last season, and they also had good results against the Premier League semi-finals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The same is to adopt defensive counterattack tactics, the same in the midfield to carry out the pressing, Hong Kong South China team's pressing is ineffective against Liverpool, and Portsmouth's pressing makes Liverpool's attack and defense are not smooth, the backfield can not transport the ball to the striker, the defender has no time to retreat to his own half of the defense, it can be said that the use of tactics and diligence to make up for part of the gap in strength.

In the 8th minute of the game, Portsmouth used the press to cause a passing error in the Liverpool midfield, and the ball was cut off by Muntari before passing to Gerrard.

Muntari's pass was not bad, but Portsmouth's two strikers were not speed strikers, Kanu chased two steps and stopped, Nugent desperately chased but could not catch up, and the ball was picked up by the fast Liverpool goalkeeper Reina.

Liverpool were suppressed by Portsmouth in the first eight minutes and did not launch a single threatening attack, which left the Liverpool players a little frustrated.

You must know that although Liverpool and Portsmouth are now playing away games, because of Chen Yu and history, the fans in the stands of this game are mainly, or overwhelmingly, supporters of Liverpool and Chen Yu, and the people who support Portsmouth are definitely a minority.

Politon's discomfort with being suppressed and disrupted in front of their own supporters led them to speed up their passes, increase their running and scrambles, and even if they couldn't score right away, they had to gain the upper hand on the pitch and let their fans see who was the king of Europe.

The scariest thing on the pitch is that those who are stronger than you can fight better than you, and as soon as Liverpool picked up the tempo, Portsmouth immediately felt the pressure.

In the 12th minute of the game, Liverpool grabbed the ball in the repeated battles in the midfield, and the ball was quickly passed to the feet of the strikers who were the best at creating killing opportunities.

Chen Yu received the ball on the run, but he did not have the time and space to dribble the ball, Portsmouth defended him very tightly, and there were always people following him closely, if he planned to dribble the ball, he would definitely encounter a foul.

Chen Yu has become accustomed to this kind of shadow-like marking, and after he took the ball, he passed it to Gerrard who was in front of him as soon as he got the ball, and it was Gerrard who passed the ball to him just now.

Gerrard has been working with Chen Yu and Kuyt for nearly a season, and they are very familiar with each other.

Gerrard's pass is very smart, with Portsmouth's pressing rhythm, as long as he controls it at his feet, Kuyt and Chen Yu will immediately be overwhelmed by defenders, and if you want to break Portsmouth's defense, you must win quickly.

If it is Volenin who is partnered with Chen Yu on the front line now, it is estimated that there will be no interaction between him and Chen Yu, but there has been a long-term cooperation between Kuyt and Chen Yu, knowing Chen Yu's running habits, after the ball was passed to his feet, he did not catch the ball and turn around, nor did he pass it directly to Chen Yu's feet, but knocked back to Chen Yu's running line and made a wall for Chen Yu.

The ball is passed in the air, and both defenders and offensive players have a chance, but Chen Yu is faster and on the run, which Kuyt has long predicted, and Chen Yu will definitely get the ball before the defender.

Sure enough, Chen Yu, who was ready to play a triangle with Gerrard and Kuyt, grabbed the ball before everyone took it out.

There is still no space to shoot, and at this moment, there are defenders in the middle of the Portsmouth penalty area blocking Chen Yu's shooting line.

Chen Yu then accelerated to the front of the big penalty area, and when he brought it to the corner of the big penalty area, Chen Yu slowed down slightly, half-turned and shot angrily.

Chen Yu hit a diagonal, the ball went straight to the top right corner of the goal, and the defender stretched out his foot to intercept it a step too late.

It was an expected shot, but the Portsmouth goalkeeper had to follow Chen Yu to the left to prevent Chen Yu from hitting the bottom left corner, and now Chen Yu shot into the top right corner, and Portsmouth goalkeeper James had nothing to do.

The ball was not very powerful, but it was fast, and it flew into the upper right corner of the goal like a cruise missile.

Chen Yu's ability to seize opportunities has always been very strong, and it is not a boast to have won the European Golden Boot and the League Golden Boot many times, but many Asian fans have not witnessed it with their own eyes, and now, they have finally seen Chen Yu score a fleeting difficult goal.

1：0

Chen Yu's kick changed the score on the field.

Rumble!

The audience boiled, applause, shouts, stomping, screams, all the sounds were mixed together, making the noise in the entire Hong Kong Stadium instantly soar more than ten times, and the two people could not hear each other face to face.

The commentator at the scene was still roaring, "Chen Yu! Chen Yu! Chen Yu has scored! A great goal, Hong Kong fans are in for a treat! To be able to see such a goal in person, even if it costs a lot of money, is worth it......"

Benitez was originally leaning on the wind shield, but seeing the cooperation of Chen Yu, Kuyt, and Gerrard this time, he walked to the sidelines excitedly and applauded vigorously in the field.

For Benitez, he won't feel too much about how wonderful a goal Chen Yu scores, but he is very happy to have such a cooperation, his current tactic is to try to create space for Chen Yu to shoot, as long as Chen Yu has space to shoot, it will be a nightmare for the opponent's goalkeeper, just like now, this impossible goal Chen Yu often scores.

Portsmouth manager Redknapp is very unhappy, Chen Yu's shot is not at all, he is angry that Chen Yu shot before his own player's defense, a complete back line, the back is not far away, let the opponent's three players in their own penalty area to do the same as if into no one's land, which makes his face where to put it.

Redknapp shouted into the stadium, "Bastard! Don't let them pass the ball, block their passing lanes, and foul if they don't work! Will there be a foul?! Don't give Chen Yu a chance! ”

The players in Portsmouth heard the manager's shouting, but they were not convinced, and said in their hearts, standing and talking does not hurt their backs, you can try it yourself, and there is no chance of fouling!

As the game continued, Portsmouth, who were one goal behind, fought back and stepped up their pressing action in the hope of a quick equaliser to turn the game around.

If this was a real final, Portsmouth would definitely not dare to do so, but now it is just a warm-up competition, and the Portsmouth players and coaches do not have too many scruples, and immediately switched from defense to attack, and moved the formation forward by more than ten meters.

Liverpool are not afraid at all, they are the masters of defensive counter-attacks, no less than Chelsea, in the face of Portsmouth's strong attack, they shrink the formation and calmly respond, constantly breaking the ball at the back of their own to launch long balls.

With long ballers like Alonso behind Liverpool and goalscoring maniacs like Chen Yu in front, the pressure on Portsmouth's backline can be imagined.

In the 20th minute of the game, Liverpool had another chance to counterattack, this time Alonso's long pass was very clever, breaking the offside trap of Portsmouth, Chen Yu successfully countered offside, attacked along the side, knocked the ball to the middle, and found Kuyt who was outflanked in the middle.

Kuyt was outflanked by two centre-backs, but Kuyt was a little quicker, he reached the ball in front of the defenders, but in his hurry, Kuyt actually stabbed the ball into the leg of goalkeeper James.

There was a sound of regret at the scene, Kuyt's annoyance scratched his head, if this goal was scored, the outcome would basically be decided, but unfortunately it was unlucky.

After being counterattacked by Liverpool in a row, the Portsmouth players were also timid, did not dare to attack aggressively, shrank back a little, and patiently looked for opportunities to score.

Liverpool took the initiative and Portsmouth slowed down, and they were less anxious and patiently controlled the ball, waiting for the opportunity to counter-attack.

The second half of the first half had a thrilling past and the score didn't change in any way.

After the break, Portsmouth made a substitution, with striker Nugent replaced by Utaka and O'Neill replacing Krany to continue to strengthen the attack.

Liverpool have not made any personnel changes, and it is clear that Benitez is hoping to make a substitution after scoring the second goal in the main line-up.

In the second half, Liverpool suddenly changed the tempo and attacked fiercely from the opening period, catching Portsmouth off guard.

In the 47th minute of the game, Chen Yu pulled to the side to break through and cut horizontally near the penalty area, and when Chen Yu dribbled the ball horizontally to the other side of the front of the penalty area again, the Portsmouth players were nervous, because Chen Yu scored in this position in the first half.

However, this time Chen Yu saw that there were a lot of defenders attracted, and the goalkeeper also came, he did not shoot, but knocked his heel and knocked the ball to Gerrard in the middle.

In the face of such a pass, there was no obstacle in the middle, how could Gerrard let it go, he pulled out his foot and fired angrily, and the ball flew into the net like lightning against the right post.

2：0

Liverpool doubled the lead through their opponent Steven Gerrard with a long-range shot.

Almost the same combination again, another long-range shot, Portsmouth still didn't defend it.

Redknapp almost went crazy, he yelled at the defenders in the stadium, he hated to eat them, he knew that against a team like Liverpool, conceding two goals is basically no different from losing, if they still want to equalize, they are afraid that they will lose more.

The commentator at the scene sighed: "It's good to have Chen Yu!" Not only can he score goals, but he can also help his teammates score, and I can't wait to see what the Chinese team will be like with Chen Yu." ”

Not only the commentators wanted to see it, but the fans in the stands wanted to see it, and after Gerrard scored a goal, the fans applauded briefly, and then they couldn't wait to chant Chen Yu's name and let him score another one.

After taking a 2-0 lead, the initiative of the game was completely in Liverpool's hands, and Liverpool's scoring opportunities became more and more numerous.

In the 20th minute of the second half, the diligent Kuyt also scored a header, and then although Portsmouth pulled a goal back, Chen Yu scored a beautiful free kick five minutes later to make Portsmouth completely lose hope of equalizing, and finally Liverpool defeated Portsmouth 4:1 and won the Asian Premier Cup.

Of course, there is nothing to brag about such a championship, but after all, this is a good start, just like Chen Yu said, "No matter how big it is, it is a champion, no matter how small it is, no one wants to win the championship, as long as it is a championship, I want to get it." Hopefully our journey to the title this season starts today. ”
