"Force!"

With the whistle of referee Haylsey, the first round of the 07-08 Premier League between Liverpool and Aston Villa kicked off. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the first appearance of the Premier League giants this season, and the form of defending champions Liverpool in this game will greatly affect the performance of other giants, and even affect the title race later.

Liverpool know that fans all over the world are watching their game, and having gone three consecutive seasons without a win in the first round, they are also looking forward to breaking this cycle and attacking Aston Villa with all their might from the start of this game.

The visitors kicked off first, and Chen Yu kicked off the ball and passed it back, and he and Kuyt quickly cut into Aston Villa's half.

After the ball was passed back to Liverpool's midfield, Alonso, the core of Liverpool's midfield, seemed to have no intention of entanglement with Aston Villa in the midfield, and directly took up a long pass to find Chen Yu and Kuyt, who were inserting forward.

Alonso's long pass was a bit unexpected, not to mention the Aston Villa players, even the Liverpool players were surprised, because before the game, manager Benitez's tactical arrangement was to control the ball and wait for the opponent to make a flaw, and now only a few seconds into the game, Alonso directly made a long pass and attacked.

Benitez just gave a low "um", and then didn't say anything, although Alonso's behavior did not meet his pre-game tactical arrangements, but stars like Alonso can make adjustments to the tactical arrangements according to the needs of the game, which is also allowed by Benitez, the game is changing rapidly, and it is actually difficult for the manager to make arrangements in the fastest time, and many times it is the players who decide how to deal with it.

Although Chen Yu and Kuyt didn't expect the ball to pass so quickly, since the ball was passed, the two of them ran to the same landing point with all their might, and grabbed the ball first.

Chen Yu and Kuyt both grabbed a drop point at the same time, which seems wrong, in fact, this is the most likely way to grab this ball, otherwise anyone who grabs this drop point with a nest of Aston Villa defenders in the midfield, whether they get it or not, will be destroyed again.

Alonso's passing is very standard, the landing point is closest to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu and Kuyt's choice is also correct and decisive, one person covers, one person grabs the point, and finally let Chen Yu grab the landing point first.

Seeing Chen Yu grab the landing point in his hinterland, the players of Aston Villa were very nervous, and several players immediately surrounded them, ready to block Chen Yu's breakthrough and passing line before Chen Yu stopped the ball, and steal or destroy the ball.

With so many people surrounding Chen Yu alone, of course, fouls are not necessary, Aston Villa's captain Barry did not foul when Chen Yu stopped the ball on his chest, but just pasted it over, ready to stretch out his feet to grab it when the ball fell.

Although Barry didn't get off his feet directly, he was not honest in his hands, and he grabbed Chen Yu's jersey tightly below to avoid being suddenly accelerated by Chen Yu to break through.

No matter how confident Chen Yu was in himself, he didn't dare to think that he would be able to take the ball out of the bag of several people, he wanted to pass the ball out of the first time he received the ball, but Kuyt hadn't run out of position yet, so he had to stop again and wait for Kuyt.

But after Kuyt ran out of the encirclement, Barry also posted it, Chen Yu wanted to stop and pass the ball out is very difficult, as long as the ball falls below the thigh, Barry is bound to steal or destroy, Chen Yu saw this clearly, he gave up stopping the ball to the ground, and after the thigh was upside down, he directly hung the golden hook upside down and hooked the ball in the direction of Kuyt's running position.

This is the most helpless choice, the inverted hook pass is certainly not scored, but it is much better than at the feet of Chen Yu, even if Kuyt can't get the ball, the ball will only fly out of the sideline, or fall to the feet of the players of Aston Villa on the wing, the danger is not as great as in the middle.

No one thought that Chen Yu would take such a passing method, even Barry, who was holding Chen Yu tightly, didn't expect that he was still waiting for a steal.

Chen Yu and Kuyt were very lucky, the ball flew out and landed less than five meters in front of Kuyt, and everyone went to defend Chen Yu, Kuyt was ignored instead.

Kuyt assisted Chen Yu to grab the point and then ran away quickly, he was accelerating, just before everyone else got the ball from Chen Yu's inverted hook.

When he got the ball, Kuyt had already come to the wing, but Kuyt is also an all-round striker, he can play in the middle of the wing, and there is no discomfort on the side, and when he gets the ball, he quickly moves along the side like a winger and kills the bottom line of Aston Villa.

The side that Kuyt came to was Pennant's offensive and defensive area, Pennant's desire to attack today was very strong, and seeing Kuyt pulling the edge, Pennant stepped forward as quickly as possible to meet Kuyt, who was alone in the depths.

Pennant's position today is right midfield, which is a very important position, he is playing against Aston Villa's full-back Ashley Young, which is Aston Villa's main attacking side, in a sense, strangling Ashley Young can destroy half of Aston Villa's attacking power, Pennant has a heavy task today, not only to attack, but also to defend against the opponent Ashley Young's attack.

Like Pennant, Ashley Young also understands that his task today is very heavy, he has played a lot with Pennant, knows Pennant's strength, and sees Liverpool send Arbeloa on the left side, knowing that Pennant may also be one of the main attackers today, and he has been firmly in his own half of the opening game, so when Liverpool opened the attack, he did not lose his position.

Kuyt didn't have to go a few metres before he was intercepted head-on by Ashley Young.

Ashley Young was also followed by left wing-back Bouma, and in the face of Kuyt, who was galloping with the ball, Ashley Young was not in a hurry, he stuck his position and waited for Kuyt to make a move.

Ashley Young is so bold and confident, in addition to fully trusting Bauma behind him, but also because of his own extreme speed, he is not afraid of Kuyt's change of direction.

Kuyt is a little difficult, he knows Ashley Young's strength, it is difficult to break through the past by speed, and if he relies on feints, he is not the kind of person with delicate skills, but now it is a fast attack, and the opportunity must not be lost again, Kuyt gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and he changed direction and killed Ashley Young directly along the outside line.

Ashley Young smiled contemptuously, quickly started sideways, ready to jam the inside, followed closely by Kuyt, waiting for an opportunity to steal the ball.

The situation is dangerous for Kuyt, and if he can't get rid of Ashley Young, then he will be immediately flanked by Aston Villa full-back Bouma.

Just when Kuyt felt that he was about to go up the knife mountain, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Pass the ball backwards!" ”

The shout was loud and familiar, it was Pennant, and Kuyt was overjoyed, immediately stepped on the ball and made a quick stop, and then knocked the ball with his heel to his side.

Kuyt and Pennant have been working together for a season and are familiar with each other, Kuyt's passing position and timing are good, Pennant doesn't need to change direction, just reduce his speed slightly, and then dribble the ball down the inside line to the baseline.

When Pennant got the ball, Ashley Young had been attracted to the side by Kuyt, and it was impossible to come over to intercept it again, so he could only rely on the back of Bouma to stop Pennant's bottom, besides, even if Ashley Young could go over in time to intercept him, he couldn't pass, and Kuyt was on the side, if he passed, Pennant passed the ball back again, and Kuyt would be empty.

The fans in the stands were relatively quiet, and they were all taken aback by Liverpool's sudden fast attack just now, but after seeing Pennant get the ball, the boos immediately rose, especially in the stands closer to Pennant, and many fans also scolded and threw debris downward.

Of course, the clutter can't be thrown into the stadium and can't hurt Pennant, but as long as it has a psychological impact on Pennant, the purpose of the Aston Villa fans has been achieved.

Pennang was already a little impatient and willful, otherwise he would not have formed such a deep knot with the Aston Villa fans when he was in Birmingham, and now the more the Villa fans provoke him so much, the more he is eager to humiliate Aston Villa on the pitch.

Faced with the sideways movement of the bauma, Pennant cunningly made a feint to cut inward, but changed the direction to break through from the opposite direction of the bauma.

Baoma is also very tragic, he was just ready to pinch Kuyt, but he didn't expect Kuyt to pass, he could only passively move laterally to intercept, although Pennant's feint was not too deceptive, but Pennant's action speed was fast enough, Baoma did not keep up, and was overtaken by Pennant from the outside.

After Pennant broke through Bouma, he continued to break through to the bottom line, while Chen Yu ran towards the goal at high speed in the middle, ready to grab a point.

Pennant went down to the bottom line and it was supposed to pass the ball, but at this moment, the boos in the stands became more and more violent, which made Pennant upset, and the revenge was getting stronger and stronger.

For a team like Aston Villa that emphasizes defense, it was already a huge mistake to give Pennant a chance to break through the bottom, how could he cut into the box again, Pennant was still close to the big box, and Bouma chased back and knocked Pennant to the ground with a sliding tackle.

Force!

Referee Halsey's whistle blew and his finger raced towards the foul to signal a free-kick.

At this time, the boos in the stands were louder, and many fans were still chanting "Pennant fake fall!" Pennant is a liar! Liverpool, one of the few who were in the mix, were shouting for a yellow card for Bouma.

Referee Hairy was not affected by the fans, although Bouma's foul was enough to get a yellow card, but this is Aston Villa's home stadium, the game has just been played for less than a minute, Hairy is impossible to show the yellow card to the home team's main defender, he just called Bouma aside and warned him once, so that he should not move so much when defending behind.

When referee Hairey warned Bouma, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also came to Pennant's side and said to Pennant seriously: "Why don't you pass the ball after you go down, if you cross, Chen may get a chance to shoot." ”

Pennant knew that he was a little presumptuous just now, but he had an evil fire in his heart and was unwilling to admit his mistake, "The free kick in this position is not bad." ”

Pennant's seniority is far from Gerrard's, and he also respects Gerrard, but Gerrard didn't expect him to disobey his preaching, he couldn't help but say in an aggravated tone: "If Bauma wasn't so impatient, and if you hit you with Laursen and Petrov, it would be good luck to get a corner." ”

Pennant saw that Gerrard was a little more embarrassed, stopped talking, and turned away, but turned away and muttered, "What's the use of saying this, now it's a good free-kick." ”

Pennant's voice was not small, Gerald listened to it, and couldn't help but want to go over and teach him a lesson, but he was stopped by Chen Yu, Chen Yu pouted, and said: "No need to say it again, Steve, he is not lightly stimulated by the fans now, his emotions are unstable, and it is useless to say it." ”

Gerrard saw that the Aston Villa fans in the stands were still chanting Pennant liars, and couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This kid is still too young, Chen, you can punish this ball, well, you can also hit the goal directly." ”

Chen Yu looked at the goal, then looked at the position of the free kick, and said: "The pass is good, the shot is a little reluctant, in fact, you can also take penalties, and your threat of sweeping vigorously to the front of the goal is not small." ”

Gerrard shook his head and said, "It's better for you to come, I can't be sure of my direct shot in this position, I can only pass the ball." ”

"Okay." Chen Yu did not shirk again, from the perspective of free kicks, he can bind any superstar, and he has an advantage over Gerrard.

Chen Yu is bound to Henry's consciousness today, Henry has been in the Premier League for many years, won many Premier League top scorers, he is more suitable for the Premier League, but Henry's free kick is not the top, such a good position free kick, if you can score, it is very important for Liverpool to win the game, Chen Yu decided to use the star awareness conversion card, bind Juninho's consciousness, improve the success rate of his free kick.

Such a distance, can pass the ball and shoot, Aston Villa's goalkeeper Taylor is ready with both hands, his eyes are staring at Chen Yu's feet, watching his next move, although Taylor has studied Chen Yu for a long time, but he has never been able to figure out the details of Chen Yu, which makes Taylor's mood very nervous.

Referee Helmsy's whistle sounded, Chen Yu ran slightly, came to the ball, Chen Yu was ready to shoot directly, but at this time he saw his teammate Reese just from the side to the middle of the penalty area, Chen Yu did not shoot directly, but gently rubbed the ball and went to find Reese who was inserted from the side and back row.

Reese was a full-back, usually shooting from distance from the outside, and Aston Villa's players were unprepared for him to cut into the box.

Chen Yu's observation is very meticulous, and the footwork of passing is also very thief, not much power, but very accurate, the ball just found the forward Riese, so that Riser can head the goal with almost no interference.
