Liverpool's first goal on the road was no surprise to home fans.

After all, they were runners-up in the Premier League last season.

The visiting fans gathered in the East Stand sang the team song in a bouncing manner.

The home team fans also looked like "there is no way", because from the whole process of scoring the goal, it can be seen that the opponent is much higher than their own team in terms of technology and tactics.

Raheem Sterling's calm handling in the box alone is the quality of a first-class striker.

It's not just Raheem Sterling, Coutinho's dribbling, Jordan Henderson's passing, every link is arranged around the team's tactics.

The players themselves are very good at reading the game, so they are less rigid when it comes to executing tactics.

As soon as Rossi kicked off in midfield, Liverpool pressed immediately.

After scoring a goal, you should take advantage of the opponent's unstable mentality to expand the score in one go.

Liverpool are the best of the bunch.

The players pressed harder and continued to put pressure on the Bournemouth backline.

In a triangle formation of Lovren, Steven Gerrard and Skrtel, Gerrard stands out in the middle and is responsible for the long ball at the back.

There are only two centre-backs who really defend.

It would be absolutely wrong to feel that Liverpool's defence was too weak.

Although there are only two defensive centre-backs, in front of Gerrard, Kolo Toure, Jordan Henderson and Lucas form a midfield barrier that can attack and defend, and is very flexible.

With Kolo Toure sweeping interceptions in the midfield position, Henderson and Lucas can get forward more.

Bournemouth's strategy was to let go of the flanks and concentrate their forces in the middle.

Liverpool's lineup does not have a high point for the top, so shrink the formation and can defend Coutinho in the middle.

Markovic and Lallana on the wing, after they got the ball, they did not rush to the middle, but used dribbling to break through and disrupt the defense.

In the 25th minute, Markovic broke through with the ball on the left wing, along the sideline of the big penalty area, and suddenly quickly flicked the ball to the bottom line.

Francis quickly got on the defence and fell to the ground to block the passing line, but was still passed by the opponent just as the ball was about to roll off the line.

The ball travels to Raheem Sterling, who is ambushed in the box.

Raheem Sterling had his back to the goal at the moment, with Cook behind him, and O'Kane, the defender on the right-hand side, was also in place, and there was no chance to turn and shoot.

But on the edge of the penalty area, team-mate Philippe Coutinho was unguarded and was cutting in diagonally.

Raheem Sterling was smart enough to turn the ball back and run to the touchline to give his team-mates more space to shoot.

Seeing this, Cook gave up defending against Sterling and stepped forward to block his opponent's shot.

With no team-mates in the middle flanked him, Coutinho opted to shoot straight at goal.

Bang!

To avoid Cook's defence, Coutinho fired into the far corner.

Goalkeeper Boruc lowered his center of gravity as soon as Raheem Sterling got the ball, and when he saw his opponent's shot, he quickly fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his right hand.

The blocked ball rolled to the back post, and full-back Adam Smith did not dare to stop the ball in the box, so he took a big foot and cleared the ball out of the box.

Due to the attack just now, the Liverpool defense was pressed relatively forward, and Smith's clearance ball came to the feet of Stanislas.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fight back.

Richie in midfield, already cutting in quickly, and after Stanislas gave him the ball, he sped forward.

[Bournemouth's chance to counterattack, now 4v4 in the frontcourt, see how Richie handles.] 】

[In the face of Kolo Toure's defense, Ricci chose to pass the ball to Stanislas on the wing. 】

[Rosie is running to see if there is a chance to pass it over.] 】

Counterattack, what is fought is speed, what is hit is surprise, and what is fought is tiger.

After seeing centre-back Skrtel start to defend in the direction of the ball, Stanislas sent a long diagonal pass to the middle with a foot close to the ground.

As Rossi stepped forward, he kept an eye on the defensive line to keep himself in an offside position.

Gerrard is not a defensive midfielder, he doesn't have a strong sense of positioning in the first place, and he has a slightly insufficient grasp of the timing of the rush.

He opted to stay on level with Rossi, blocking Rossi's inward cross-cut and shot angle.

Don't ask for breaking the ball, just slow down the opponent's attacking speed.

Rossi had already observed Wilson's forward position before receiving the ball, and he extended his right foot and gently led the ball forward with the outside instep.

He took two steps forward and found that he hadn't shaken off Gerrard's defence and slammed the ball to the left with his right heel.

This "heel knock redirection" works best when cutting forward at high speeds.

But Gerrard's strong body allowed him to quickly go from sprinting to stopping and then defending after seeing Rossi change direction.

Rossi was taken aback, this is in the Championship, no matter how agile the defender is, he will not defend so quickly.

They paused for more than enough time for him to pass the ball.

However, Gerrard was too quick to return to the defence and Rossi did not have time to adjust his balance, and sent the ball to Wilson on the right with his left foot.

He also lost his balance due to a pass, was pushed by Gerrard's hand and fell.

The ball went around Lovren in front and passed to Wilson, who cut in at the back.

Although he got the ball, the inside line was occupied by Lovren and he had to get into the box before he could defend in place.

But Lovren's follow-up was timely and already stuck on the line where Wilson was sprinting again.

As long as he dares to go forward again, even if he can't break it, he will lose the angle of the shot.

Wilson made a quick decision and raised his foot to shoot, but Lovren also reached out to block it at the first time.

But at the moment of shooting, he pushed the ball to the left, trying to shake off the defense.

Lovren's outstretched left foot jerked to the ground, then quickly lifted up to continue the block.

Wilson didn't expect that his opponent had seen through his feints.

In a hurry, he swung his leg on the spot and used the instep of his right foot to shoot the ball out in order to avoid the defense.

With no power, the ball was easily confiscated by goalkeeper Brad Jones.

Eddie Howe sighed that the speed and quality of the counterattack were good enough, but Liverpool's retreat and marking were so fast.

Just when the fans were bemoaning the attack, Liverpool goalkeeper Jones held the ball with both hands, abandoned the goal, and threw the ball out of the box as he was about to get out of the box.

The ball came to Gerrard.

Hand toss the ball to counterattack!

Gerrard got up straight and unguarded, and a precise long pass to Raheem Sterling, who was at the front.

This time, it was Bournemouth's turn to gasp at the back.

The two full-backs did not return, leaving only two centre-backs and O'Kane, who had rushed back to defend.

Sterling, under Cook's interference, stopped the ball a little too wide and was out of his body's control.

Cook poked the ball out with his foot and wanted to give it to O'Kane.

Unexpectedly, he used too much force, but he accidentally gave Malkovich who was inserted in the back.

Raheem Sterling saw his team-mate get the ball and quickly stepped forward, at this time, as long as Malkovic passed the ball diagonally, it was a one-on-one knife.

Bournemouth defender Alfik, seeing that it was not good, hurriedly raised it to put Sterling in an offside position.

It was this small detail that made Sterling immediately stop stepping forward.

And Malkovic didn't choose to pass the ball because of this, giving Okane the opportunity to chase back the defense.

Missing the pass, Markovic could only continue to push forward with the ball.

Centre-back Elfik hurriedly moved laterally and defended him to break through.

The space behind him was handed over to O'Kane to make up for the defense, and by the way, cut off the passing line.

Seeing that there was no passing opportunity, Markovic took a step down the left flank, and just as he stepped into the box with his left foot, he swooped down with his right foot and half-turned and fired into the far corner.

The sudden shot caught Elfik off guard, and he subconsciously stretched out his foot to block, but the ball drilled under his crotch and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Boruc fell to the ground and pounced, although the ball was not fast, but it was too abrupt and angled, around his fingertips, almost against the inside of the post, and into the net.

0:2！

【GOAL！！！ 】

[The ball went in, a shot from Markovic.] 】

[No one thought that he would actually shoot with his feet in this place where it was not a good opportunity. 】

[Liverpool spent 25 million euros to bring in Markovic from Benfica this summer. He proved his worth with this shot. 】

[This counterattack, to being counterattacked, is too enjoyable. 】

[This is the ability of the top giants. When you miss an opportunity, what awaits you may be a counterattack. 】

After the goal, Markovic knelt down on his knees, pointed to the sky with both hands, and said something in his mouth.

When he got up, his teammates gathered around him to celebrate his goal.

Attacking, counterattacking, counterattacking, it all happened so fast that the fans felt like they had been on a rollercoaster ride and their hearts were pounding.

In the end, I found out that my goal was broken and I fell to the bottom.

It was less than half an hour, and the team was already two goals behind, and the initiative was completely in the hands of the opponent.

What's next?
