Chapter 1057 - Picking the Ball and Passing
This is a battle of styles, although in terms of strength, Liverpool is stronger than Boca Juniors, but the South American team has its own characteristics, they have fast foot frequency, many feints, and the small cooperation between two or three people plays very gorgeously, and there are often unexpected breakthroughs, although Boca Juniors are not as good as Liverpool in terms of overall strength, but in local battles, Boca Juniors often have the upper hand, and the yellow card that Agger ate was because of the continuous wall-hitting passes between Palacio, Palermo and Cardoso, Palacio suddenly disrupted his rhythm, smashed the ball and struck straight into the box through a passage between defenders.

Ague definitely can't let Palacio pass, as long as it passes, it's a one-on-one goal, and Ague has no choice but to reach out and pull Palacio's jersey.
Boca Juniors were awarded a free-kick in front of the pitch and Cardoso converted it.
Liverpool's defense of set-pieces is experienced, Chen Yu first stood before the ball to prevent Boca Juniors from sending a free kick sneak attack, and other players in the penalty area looking for players to mark, these are all rehearsed before the game, every attacking player of Boca Juniors has someone to watch, and a strong striker like Palermo is personally taken care of by the team's deputy Carragher.
Cardoso didn't have a direct shot on goal, he curled a ball into the box to find his core Palermo.
Palermo is a 34-year-old player, but his sense of smell is still sharp, his reflexes are still fast, and when Cardoso kicks off, he pushes Carragher and wants to run for the top.
But Carragher's experience is also very rich, Palermo pushed him, he reached out and grabbed Palermo's jersey, but Carragher did not hold on to it, in the penalty area, it was not good that he would be awarded a penalty, Carragher just pulled hard and let go, the purpose was to delay Palermo's time to grab the point, so that he could not grab the landing point, or could not compete for the top at the best time.
Palermo was well aware of Cardoso's timing, footwork and landing, but Carragher pulled him hard, making Palermo a little slower when grabbing the point, and the jump height was not enough, and the ball flew over his scalp.
The rest of Boca Juniors' players were also unable to get to the spot, and the ball flew straight off the line.
In the first five minutes, Boca Juniors used their skills and fighting spirit to show their football to the world, and also made the Liverpool fans who occupied the vast majority of the scene understand that Boca Juniors are not here to play soy sauce, their goal is really to win the championship.
The Japanese commentator at the scene said: "Boca Juniors are very smooth in their small area, Liverpool does not seem to have a good defensive method, if Boca Juniors can fully play their own characteristics, Liverpool may not be so easy to win the championship easily." ”
Boca played very well after the opening, Liverpool of course not willing to fall into the underdog, in such a narrow game, luck and morale have a great impact on the final result, if the beginning is suppressed by the opponent, the opponent will play more and more easily, and they will play worse and worse.
After this wave of attacks by Boca Juniors, the Liverpudlians who got the ball immediately launched a counterattack.
Liverpool's attack was different from Boca Juniors, they played more concisely, with three passes in the midfield and two backward passes, and they immediately attacked from the wings.
Today, Liverpool's 433 formation is topped by a high school striker Crouch in the middle, because Benitez is worried that he can't play South American players with small skills, and is ready to play a little wider, with a simple and rough attack, coupled with Chen Yu's perverted ability to seize opportunities to defeat Boca Juniors.
Benitez is also a wise man, the last time he suffered a loss under the South American team, this time he also came prepared.
The ball was distributed to the left side where Chen Yu was, and in the direction of Liverpool's attack, Chen Yu's side must be the first choice.
Left-back Reese got the ball and saw that no one came to force it, so he quickly dribbled the ball forward, and it was not until Boca's players came to intercept that Reeser passed the ball to Gerrard, but after the ball was passed, Reeser did not go back and remained in the midfield to receive Gerrard.
Liverpool said it was three midfielders, but in fact most of the midfielders were five because Benitez asked Chen Yu and Kuyt to return to the defense.
Gerrard is on the left side of midfielder Marcos Alonso, Pennant is on the right, and only when Gerrard has the ball on his side, Gerrard has to go back to assist Alonso in the middle.
Now that the ball is at his feet, Gerrard becomes the initiator of the attack.
Boca Juniors' focus today is on Chen Yu, but Gerrard and Alonso are also players that Boca needs to deal with today, especially Gerrard, who, like Chen Yu, is also a master who has exploded.
As soon as the ball reached Gerrard's feet, Boca Juniors players came to press him, and Gerrard was not allowed to have a little time and space to think and observe.
It's just that Gerrard spends almost every day in the Premier League under the fast pace and high intensity, and Boca Juniors' intensity of pressing is a drizzle for Gerrard, he has observed before receiving the ball, and he also knows how his teammates run, so before the Boca players arrived, Gerrard quickly passed the ball to Chen Yu, who retreated, and he did not retreat, but continued to move forward.
Chen Yu retreated very deeply, almost to the middle line, so that although he had fewer chances to score, but the midfield was consolidated, Chen Yu's assault on the side was strong, whenever the opponent's midfield was stronger, Benitez arranged it like this, and the effect was also obvious, Chen Yu attracted defense, created space, and other players waited for the opportunity to receive the ball one-on-one or undefended.
After Chen Yu retreated to near the halfway line, Boca Juniors' right wing-back Rodriguez did not dare to follow so far, so he had to be marked by midfielder Gonzalez.
Chen Yu took the ball and found that Gonzalez was following very closely, so he planned to deceive him with a feint and a change of direction, but when Chen Yu finished the feint and changed the direction of the ball, he didn't expect Gonzalez to be shaken and quickly came out to steal.
Gonzalez's steal happened to be during Chen Yu's move, his kick was faster than that of European players, Chen Yu's judgment was wrong, and the ball was touched by Gonzalez, causing Chen Yu to lose control of the ball.
The reason why the star became a star is because his ability to handle the ball is better than that of ordinary players when encountering an accident, Chen Yu found that the ball was out of control, and immediately stuck in the position and then chased the ball, blocking Gonzalez behind him.
Gonzalez had just almost made a steal, his self-confidence came up, he felt that he could prevent Chen Yu, he was unwilling to use a foul to stop Chen Yu from taking the ball, but followed Chen Yu closely behind, not letting him turn around, and then waiting for an opportunity to steal.
This is actually a good strategy, after all, Liverpool's free kick strength is still very strong, and too many fouls are easy to give Liverpool a chance to score.
Chen Yu did not succeed in breaking through for the first time, and realized that South American players are indeed different from European players, they are faster and more thoughtful, and it is not easy to fool them easily.
However, there are countless weapons in Chen Yu's arsenal, he doesn't just rely on feints to pass people, seeing Gonzalez not eating his feints, Chen Yu passed the ball back to Reese, turned around sharply, accelerated forward, and wanted to use his speed to eat Gonzalez.
Reese and Chen Yu have been cooperating for a long time, and when they saw Chen Yu pass the ball and turn around, they immediately gave Chen Yu an overhead pass.
Gonzalez knew that he couldn't catch up as soon as he saw Chen Yu's starting speed, so he immediately reached out to pull Chen Yu's jersey, but Chen Yu was not only fast, but also had a lot of strength, and Gonzalez didn't pull it this time.
Gonzalez did not continue to foul tactics, because he saw Reese's overhead pass, and thought that Chen Yu must slow down when he stopped the ball, at that time he had every chance to step forward and steal, even if he couldn't steal, it was not too late to foul at that time, and his teammates had already come over to wrap up, so there was no need to pay a possible yellow card for it.
Gonzalez chased after Chen Yu, and the back Bartagria saw that Chen Yu had not yet controlled the ball, and quickly came over to wrap it.
Although Chen Yu is chasing the ball quickly, but he is very aware of the situation on the field, when he took the lead to catch up with the ball, Chen Yu did not stop the ball, nor did he put the ball forward, the ball may be destroyed by Gonzalez behind him, and the forward point should form a scramble with the opponent who came to help defend Batagria, which is unacceptable to Chen Yu, not to mention fighting with Batagria, that is, after a slight pause, Gonzalez can catch up.
Good Chen Yu, at this time he slowed down slightly, picked the ball back with the forefoot of his foot, and then turned around again, just avoiding Gonzalez who was running over with a snort.
Gonzalez didn't expect Chen Yu's other actions when he saw Chen Yu slowing down, but he was a chaser, and he was already running as hard as he could, and he couldn't catch up if he slowed down, so he couldn't stop when he saw Chen Yu picking the ball, so he could only watch Chen Yu flash in front of him.
Chen Yu's beautiful dodge action caused a sensation in the audience, and a burst of warm applause suddenly broke out in the stands.
"Good!"
"Well done!"
"It's so imaginative."
"Haha, Gonzalez and Batagria almost collided!"
……
The stands are full of praise for Chen Yu, and for fans, if there are constantly such wonderful shots on the field, even 0:0 is a wonderful game.
Boca Juniors' head coach Russo also had an expression of admiration, Chen Yu not only has a strong body, but also has a first-class imagination, and it is indeed worthy of the name to be able to win the European Ballon d'Or, although Gonzalez is also a good midfielder in South America, it is still not enough to see in front of Chen Yu.
Chen Yu did not stick the ball after picking the ball over the top, he saw that Boca Juniors' back Bartagria was too far away from his defensive position, so he immediately used his forehead to pass the ball to Gerrard, who had been silently following to pick up, and let Gerrard hit Boca Juniors' middle.
Gerrard was about to ask for the ball, and suddenly found that Chen Yu had passed the ball over, Gerrard was overjoyed, gave Chen Yu a thumbs up, and then quickly caught the ball and quickly hit the Boca Juniors penalty area.
