833 Defend and Counterattack!
When the Reds' attacking group was like a wild horse slaughtering towards Real Madrid's half, that scene really made Real Madrid's defense system feel overwhelmed!
It was as if a magnificent red whirlwind was sweeping in front of me!
Alonso plays a long ball in front of the penalty area.
The ball sped to the left of the pitch and Benayoun was in front of the run.
Instead of retreating, Ramos stepped forward to intercept.
Benayoun took the ball first than him, pushing the ball to the right with the outside of his instep before running around Ramos.
Before Diarra, Gerrard slashed the ball from Benayoun into the left front, which was in front of Benayoun!
Gerrard also ran forward after passing the ball, and Diarra was already behind Gerrard after turning.
Benayoun met the ball on the left flank outside the box and crossed it to Gerrard.
At this time, Pepe, Cannavaro and Heinze on the back line immediately recycled into the penalty area and formed a defensive posture of a back three.
Gerrard flicked the ball sideways to avoid Diarra's press from behind, and then Cannavaro stepped forward to intercept, at which point Torres slipped diagonally in front of Pepe into the space behind Cannavaro, Heinze saw it and immediately closed the door with Pepe, fearing that Gerrard would send Torres a lethal through ball.
Gerrard dribbled the ball sideways as Cannavaro came up, shook off Cannavaro's frontal blockade angle, and then passed the ball at his feet, straight through!
Heinze was moving towards the middle of the goal, and was stunned to see Gerrard pass the ball behind him, he stopped sharply and turned to look, only to find that the ball behind him had been cut inside and taken away!
Kuyt rushing up from the back!
Casillas immediately abandoned the door. Kuyt was extremely calm at this point. He crosses the ball across the middle of the goal. Torres shook off Pepe after Heinze's distraction and slid the ball into the empty net!
Anfield was like a nuclear bomb, and the Reds fans erupted in joy!
Torres ran to the sidelines with his arms outstretched to greet the fans!
Benitez, who was sitting in the coach's seat, was not as nervous as before, he bowed his head lightly and wrote and drew on the notepad, not knowing what was recorded.
What he needs to see most is whether Liverpool will fight back!
Of course, goals are important, but if Liverpool don't execute their tactical plan perfectly, then even if there is a chance goal, it will be for 180 minutes. This seems insignificant.
A counterattack is not something that has to be launched when there is an opportunity.
Especially against a top opponent like Real Madrid.
Liverpool will have to judge the situation calmly and be able to commit firmly on the counter-attack when Real Madrid's defence is at its weakest, which is what Benitez is most concerned about.
Real Madrid can be said to have been crushed in this Red Army counterattack!
Every link in the defense was defeated by the opponent, the layers were torn apart, and the final goal conceded seemed logical.
"Liverpool have scored! Anfield Saint Torres opens the scoring for Liverpool!
It was a brilliant goal from Liverpool on the counter-attack.
This goal shows Liverpool's superb team tactical ability.
After Reyna narrowly blocked Qin Xiong's header, Liverpool did not slow down the pace to slow down, and they immediately instigated an attack.
Alonso orchestrated the attack at the back, Benayoun and Gerrard pushed forward and finally Gerrard fed a clever pass to Kuyt, who provided the assist for Torres!
Beautiful goal. A model of teamwork!
Benitez takes the lead in front of his teacher Bosque!
He seems to have grabbed the seven inches of Real Madrid and knows how to deal with the invincible Real Madrid! ”
The Real Madrid generals were also a little surprised.
Liverpool's counter-attack was too dazzling.
Speed is the mainstream of the Premier League in this era.
The most intuitive feature of the Premier League game is "fast, fast, fast". It's fast-paced and fast-paced.
It's no surprise that Liverpool play with speed, and they are good at switching between attack and defence.
It's just that the opportunity to counterattack this time is too good.
Guti had no chance to be involved in defending, and the wide defence was ineffective.
Liverpool were clearly premeditated.
They played the attack they wanted and then they scored.
Rafa Benitez is a cup specialist.
After Real Madrid restarted, Qin Xiong took the initiative to retreat to help the team control the situation in the midfield.
Liverpool's defense can be said to be involved in the rest of the players except Torres, even Gerrard, who is also a well-rounded player with a very good balance of attack and defence.
In this way, Liverpool are very strong in the midfield area and can form a kind of trapping situation.
Gerrard in front, Benayoun and Kuyt on either flank, Alonso and Mascherano in the back.
Coupled with strong physicality and aggressive pressing, Real Madrid's desire to control the midfield with a sense of urgency is whimsical.
In the 19th minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a diagonal pass in the midfield, and he handed the ball to Robben and let Robben play freely on the right side.
Peter Pan faced Reese's defense and pretended to get away laterally, but dunked the ball into the direction of the baseline.
He passed the ball back to Ramos, who came up with the assist, and the latter sent the ball to Qin Xiong's feet with a horizontal pass.
At this time, Qin Xiong made an unbelievable move.
Qin Xiong was following Mascherano and Benayoun was pressing diagonally, he knew that he had no space to control the ball, and when the football rolled over, Qin Xiong directly knocked the ball into the penalty area from behind his body with his right foot!
The Liverpool players had no idea that Qin Xiong would do this, and the ball that was knocked into the box was obtained by the keen Raul diagonally.
Raul met the ball and half-turned and fired a volley.
Bang!
The ball hit the near post and bounced off the line!
Raul lowered his head and roared angrily, then turned back and raised his hand towards Qin Xiong.
"Real Madrid came close to equalising, Raul's shot was unlucky to hit the post, Qin Xiong's imaginative knock in front of the penalty area tore through Liverpool's defence, Real Madrid's positional battle encountered a lot of resistance, but Real Madrid still confidently insisted on fighting like this, because they believed that the team was creative enough to destroy the opponent's defence."
Benitez suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the sideline with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and stared blankly at the stadium.
It's not that he didn't study Qin Xiong, but no matter how much research he did, it would become useless garbage.
The sudden and unreasonable performance of an ordinary player is called a flash of inspiration.
But for superstars, a flash of inspiration is simply commonplace.
If you want to defend, you can't defend it.
If Liverpool wants to win, it must rely on attack, but the premise of attack is defense, and then counterattack! (To be continued.) )
