Chapter 968: Turning the Tide of the War

Liverpool really lowered their body to force Sevilla, and when they adopted foul tactics, Sevilla's smooth attack was difficult to play, and the La Liga team's proud ability to penetrate short passes was interrupted by Liverpool's continuous fouls, Sevilla's players were angry, and the accuracy of the pass was greatly reduced.

However, if you want to talk about the threat of attacking from the wing, the English team's side attack is bigger than the Spanish team, because the English team has a stronger ability to grab points and head the ball.

Although Liverpool's wide attack is not as strong as Chelsea's, it is not weaker than Sevilla's, which is actually mainly concentrated on Alves' side. And Liverpool's offensive point is also on the left side, and Finnan on the right side belongs to the type of strong defense and weak attack, but seeing Alves so active on the side, Sevilla's side attack hot spot is the left side, and Finnan, who is not good at attacking, gave up the idea of assisting and did his defensive work wholeheartedly.

Alves is a rising star on the wing in Brazil, full-backs and full-backs can be competent, almost one person can handle the entire side, many people regard Alves as the successor of the Brazilian captain Cafu, that is, because of Alves, a talented flying wing, Sevilla's side attack is the top of La Liga and has become a killer feature of Sevilla's attack.

Alves thinks very highly of himself and has always thought that his talent is fully worthy of a giant, but the reality is that he still has to continue to stay in Seville, so Alves is very unhappy with Chen Yu, who was robbed by the giants, and he wants to show himself very much in this game and overwhelm Chen Yu and Gerrard.

Now Liverpool's right side is defending with all its might, trying to make Alves retreat, but Alves is annoyed and angry, and does not advance but retreats, and continues to put pressure on Liverpool's right side.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Alves's attack on the side was blocked, and under the joint siege of Liverpool fullback Finnam, midfielder Pennant and midfielder Mascherano, Alves tried to break through to the middle and was cut off, and he counter-grabbed on the spot, and was diverted by Liverpool's three consecutive short passes.

Liverpool counter-attacked quickly, and Chen Yu pulled the edge to attack the space behind Alves.

Sevilla mainly attacked Alves's side, and the vacancy after Alves' assist was always filled, but Chen Yu's speed was very fast, and Marty's defensive foothold was not stable and was passed by Chen Yu in a flash.

Chen Yu saw that there was no chance to cut inside, so he quickly passed the ball into the penalty area and found his teammate who was inserted forward.

Kuyt nodded the ball in front, Gerrard's right heel on the right side of the penalty area was not hooked, and Babel rushed to the top 5 meters from the goal, but the ball came too quickly, and the position was not very good, the ball was slightly over the crossbar!

It was a dangerous counter-attack, and if the pass was a little lower, or Babel's header was a little better, it was a goal because the goalkeeper simply didn't have time to come back to make a save, it was about the same as an empty goal.

Liverpool's attack also sounded the alarm bell for Sevilla, in the next game, Sevilla's attack became more and more cautious, no longer the first 20 minutes of the flow and imagination, while Liverpool played better and better, gradually into their own control of the characteristics and rhythm of the game.

In the 36th minute, Babel made a low cross from the left, but the ball was too fast, and Chen Yu and Kuyt both leaked the ball.

Subsequently, Sevilla suddenly launched a long pass and fast attack, Kanute headed back, Renato quickly split the side, Alves passed diagonally from the side, s. Keita stepped forward quickly and flicked his header at goal, but the ball was blocked by Arbeloa with his body.

Canute raised his hand to signal that Abelloa was fouled for handball, but referee Plautz ignored it, but the slow camera showed that the ball seemed to hit Arbeloa's arm, but because the ball was too fast and the space was narrow, the referee was difficult to see, even in slow motion, the fans could not confirm 100%, so it did not cause much controversy.

Keita's header was also Sevilla's last threatening shot in the first half, and then Liverpool mastered all the attack, Chen Yu and Gerrard made full use of their individual abilities to frequently threaten Sevilla's goal.

In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Chen Yu received the ball in the air after Alves' assist, attracted Sevilla's defense, and then suddenly cut inside along the edge of the penalty area on the right side, and made a wall match with Gerrard and then cleverly crossed the box with his heel.

Previously, Chen Yu continued to break through cross-cutting, and no one would have thought that he would suddenly pass the ball, and Sevilla's defenders had an extremely short gap in their brains, which was almost 0. The one-second gap gave Kuyt the chance when the Dutch striker fired a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner from nine yards out, but the assistant referee raised the flag for offside as he and the Liverpool players ran to celebrate.

Liverpool's ball was disappointed and angry, and they went up to question the assistant referee's decision, but the Austrian referee Plautz still ignored it and insisted on the assistant referee's offside decision, but the subsequent slow motion showed that Kuyt was not offside when he was running, and Dragutinovic at the far end was a shoulder behind him, but between the lightning and fire, the assistant referee could not see it so clearly, and it can only be said that the psychological tendency of the assistant referee played a decisive role at that time.

After the goal was cancelled, there was no time in the first half, and Liverpool had no place to use it even if they were in good shape, so they could only go back to the dressing room to rest with a score of 0:1.

The players rested, and the fans in the stands became more lively, Liverpool fans angrily denounced the referee and linesman as black whistles, erasing a good goal for Liverpool, Sevilla fans did not think they were taking advantage, they thought that the referee also owed them a penalty, and also shouted in the stands.

Neutral fans felt that both sides played a good goal for 20 minutes each, and each was wrongly judged by a goal, and the overall score was evenly matched, but Liverpool's luck was generally not able to equalise.

The commentator on the scene believes that today's Liverpool and Sevilla have played their own style and level, the difference in strength between the two sides is also very small, the score does not reflect all the problems, Sevilla can take the lead, mainly to seize the shortcomings of Liverpool's backline, he believes that Liverpool equalizer in the second half is very likely, if Chen Yu is powerful, it is not impossible to reverse Sevilla, after all, Chen Yu's current record is still an average of one goal per game, and Chelsea's defense can't keep Chen Yu, The La Liga team Sevilla, which mainly plays in attack, is unlikely to keep a clean sheet against Chen Yu.

Because Liverpool fell behind in the first half, the Chinese commentator Duan Xuan was very anxious, and he was also constantly cheering for the Chinese fans, and vowed that Chen Yu would definitely score two goals to reverse Sevilla and win the final championship, on the grounds that Chen Yu had never won the Super Cup.

Liverpool fans and Chen Yu fans believe that Chen Yu has the ability to score two goals and even score a hat-trick is not out of the question, but they are not fancied for Liverpool to win, as the back line now looks equally likely to concede three goals.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly after the break, and the players from both sides returned to the pitch from the dressing rooms.

Although I don't know if the managers of both sides have made any tactical adjustments, but seeing that the starting 11 has not changed, fans know that the coaches of Liverpool and Sevilla are still relatively satisfied with the situation on both sides in the first half, at least they don't think which player has played too poorly.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, there was no change in the personnel positions and tactics of both sides, and the rhythm of the first half was still continued, the leading Sevilla side defended, and the backward Liverpool side attacked, if there was any fine-tuning, that is, Sevilla increased the transfer of long passes, as if they wanted to avoid the entanglement of the Liverpool midfield, and directly threatened Liverpool's backline.

Undoubtedly, this is the right way of thinking, because Liverpool's shortcoming is the combination of central defenders, and Sevilla's passivity in the last 20 minutes of the first half is that the midfield is intercepted, and the side cannot be opened, so it cannot put much pressure on Liverpool's backline, resulting in the passivity of its own backline, and now Sevilla just wants to turn the passive into the active.

Liverpool has hardly changed in the slightest, still pressing quickly, cutting Sevilla's midfield, forcing Sevilla's attack to the side, Liverpool does not have any special way to deal with Sevilla's long pass attack, because in the Premier League, long pass is one of the necessary weapons of every team, Liverpool is dealing with the opponent's long pass every week, there is no need to deliberately arrange.

It was Liverpool who got the first chance to score, and seven minutes into the second half, Liverpool showed Sevilla what a long ball rush tactic is.

Alonso's long-distance direct pass, Chen Yu stopped the ball on the right chest of the penalty area, picked up the ball and turned past the fullback Alves, turned and crossed low to the front point.

At the moment, Sevilla FC has no players in the box except the goalkeeper, and Kuyt and the two central defenders are desperately inserting into the box.

At this time, Liverpool scored when they grabbed the spot, and Sevilla cleared the ball when they got it. With so close to goal, goalkeeper Palop is basically an ornament.

"Danger!"

The Sevilla fans in the stands shouted exclamations, reminding their players.

Sevilla manager Juander on the sidelines. Ramos clenched his fists nervously.

However, Kuyt's pace was a shortcoming, and he was unable to overtake the two centre-backs, and when all three fell to the ground, Esqude grabbed the ball in front of Kuyt and shoveled the ball off the line.

Although Liverpool's spurt did not score a goal in this spurt attack, Liverpool's morale and confidence grew stronger, and the attack became more and more fluid and imaginative.

In the 55th minute of the game, Pennant finally found a chance for revenge, he broke through Alves on the left side of the cross into the penalty area, Kuyt in front of the goal header back to the edge of the penalty area, Chen Yu didn't know what and retreated to the midfield position, he quickly followed up and volleyed from 27 meters, but the powerful shot hit Kuyt's body and missed the far post.

Sevilla saw that Liverpool had too much time to possess the ball and the attack was too fierce, and the goalkeeper did not dare to make a long pass, and wanted to control the rhythm of the game at the back, but under the fierce pressing of the Liverpool players, Sevilla's midfield passed the ball wrong and was cut off by Alonso's prediction of the passing line.

Sevilla thought that Alonso was going to attack with a long pass again, and Navas pressed quickly, wanting to delay Alonso's time, but he didn't expect Alonso to turn around to protect the ball, but he secretly knocked the ball to Gerrard with his heel.

Gerrard's clever pluck ball got rid of Renato's defense and quickly walked the baseline, and in the face of Esquird's defense, Gerrard had a whim and used his speed to pass Esquird.

Gerrard has never been known for his speed, and his speed in Liverpool's own team is only in the middle of the stream, Esqude never thought that Gerrard would actually divide the ball, and it was too late to foul, and when he turned around and chased after him, he could only follow Gerrard, and there was no time and space to surpass.

Gerrard deceived Esquird with a brilliant trick, but the disadvantage in speed made him unable to chase the ball, and only caught up when the ball was almost on the baseline, in order to pass the ball, Gerrard had to sacrifice his body's balance, half-turned and passed the ball into the penalty area, and he fell to the ground.

Gerrard's breakthrough passes were all sudden, and Sevilla's defenders were also ill-prepared, with no one in front of them, and the two defenders in the middle dubbed with Kuyt without touching the ball.

Just when the Sevilla fans wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly found a red figure rushing quickly to the back post, and the white player who followed him was thrown away in the penalty area, and could only watch the red player nod the ball at a distance.

"Chen!"

"Chen!"

The Liverpool fans in the stands and the Sevilla fans were chanting Chen Yu's name, but they were surprised and delighted.

The player in red is Chen Yu, he quickly ran to the back post when Gerrard passed, although Keita followed him closely, but Chen Yu still had the ability to accelerate under the gallop, and shook Keita in the big penalty area to complete the attack.

When Chen Yu headed the ball, the ball had already flown over the goal, and Gerrard's pass was not high but very fast, very close to the goal, just over three meters away, if Chen Yu smashed the header directly, it was likely to hit the side netting, so Chen Yu shook the header and brought an arc when he went out, and the ball was just spun into the near corner.

Goalkeeper Palop has been moving with the ball, and he also saved it in time when Chen Yu headed the ball, but the header was so close, even if it was Banksy Reborn back then, he couldn't save such a ball, Palop's body just flew up, the ball had already been scored, and his actions behind him were actually useless, and the applause of celebration when Palop fell to the ground had already sounded.

1 to 1 draw! Chen Yu's header equalised for Liverpool.

It was Chen's fifth goal of the season and his first in the UEFA Super Cup.
