Chapter 203: Traditional Virtues, Carry Forward Again
Falling behind in the score, replacing the two absolute main players in the front line, Ranieri is crazy?
Ulloa, Rossi, Kramaric, these three are not superior in speed, how to play a counterattack?
Switching to positional warfare?
But the midfield of Comester City does not have an advantage!
Klopp couldn't guess the opponent's intention of substitution for the time being, so he could only wait and see what happened.
After taking the lead, Liverpool abandoned their previous high press and adopted a regular defensive approach.
The reason is simple, with Liverpool's current staffing and injury situation, high pressing is not enough to sustain the whole game.
If there are casualties during this period, the gains outweigh the losses.
No one can be hurt anymore.
Actually, Ranieri is the same.
After the morning training session, the team doctor tested the players' bodies and Jamie Vardy and Mahrez were not fit enough to sustain the full game.
The team has a tough schedule ahead, and the two are indispensable and can't risk injury because of one game.
After kick-off, Albrighton advanced down the flanks and the team formed 4-3-3.
Ulloa is in front, Rossi is on the left, and Kramaric is on the right.
Rossi was more flexible in his position, dropping back into the middle and ceding his flank position to his team-mates and forming a double midfield with Andy King.
Liverpool's defense quickly pressed towards the wings, allowing the opponent to attack on the wings and making it difficult to move forward.
Henderson pressed towards the ball carrier and intercepted the opposition's pass to the middle.
Because Rossi is in the middle, his quick ball is not a joke and must be blocked in time.
Albrighton passes back to Kante, who moves quickly laterally to distribute the ball to Kramaric on the weak flank.
Klopp was stunned for a moment, but then understood that the opponent wanted to quickly transfer horizontally, and after distributing to the weak side, he would cross the ball and give full play to Ulloa's high point to compete for the advantage.
Bang!
After receiving the ball, Kramaric looked up and crossed.
Ulloa stepped forward to fight for the spot, but was closely marked by Lovren.
Under his interference, the header was deflected.
"Adam, keep an eye on that black boy!"
Lallana received the order and slowly approached Kante.
In the 70th minute, Lallana stepped up, but Kante stepped out early and flicked the ball out.
Not only did he miss the ball, but he also let Kante dodge.
N'Golo Kante broke out of the game and played the ball back to Kramaric again to form a close attack on the weak flank.
Kramaric isn't very fast, but he's good dribbling at his feet, can cut inside and get through crosses.
In the position of a second striker or winger, it can have a surprising effect.
But the strong performances of Rossi and Mahrez at the start of the season have made it difficult for him to get a start.
In the other wide position, Albrighton and Schlupp were firmly in position, and he had to sit on the bench and wait for his chance.
Now it was hard to get a chance to play, but Ranieri allowed himself to pass the ball quickly.
How can you make the most of your own characteristics?
Rossi quickly moves down the middle and reaches for the ball.
Kramaric really wants to perform, but the tactics of the manager, he must follow.
Rossi received the ball in the middle and was instantly caught by two people.
With defender Emre Can going to help defend Rossi, there was a vacuum in front of Kramaric.
Hey?
If you can get the ball here, you can directly threaten the opponent's goal.
When Kramaric activated, Rossi seemed to know his purpose and passed the ball into the vacuum before the bag was formed.
Kramaric was perfect when he received the ball, both in height and speed.
Comfortable!
It's no wonder that every time Vardy scores, he has an urge to kiss Rossi.
For me, I will also kiss!
Kramaric flicked the ball and fired a right-footed shot at goal.
The ball made a low arc and flew forward, then suddenly fell.
Goalkeeper Minho made a save in the direction of the ball's flight, thinking that it was nine out of ten, but the ball suddenly fell to the ground and bounced up, causing a refraction.
A small refraction, even the world's top goalkeepers, it is difficult to react.
Because in less than a second, it is impossible to predict the height and direction of the ball.
But luck was on Liverpool's side.
The Anfield turf, which was less elastic due to the weather, was blocked by the goalkeeper's arm.
After making a god-level save, Minho roared and was hugged tightly by his teammates.
Although Liverpool's defense is united, Klopp has to analyze the opponent's attacks from the manager's point of view.
Lyrc City did not rely on a single passing point when moving from the strong side to the other.
Rossi, N'Golo Kante, Andy King, any of the three, could be the spot.
Moreover, the three's position is a longitudinal position, stretching the longitudinal space as much as possible, so that their defensive formation is invisibly stretched.
For the weak side of the defense, it is even more lax.
Jurgen Klopp made immediate changes, with Lucas replacing Coutinho and Joe Allen replacing Lallana, leveling the formation and expanding the lateral defensive area, so that there was no need to worry about the opponent's movement.
Claudio Ranieri knew the opposition had to defend, and the last substitution was given to Nathan Dyer to strengthen the wide break.
And let the central defender Morgan, press the midfield, and participate in the team's attack.
Morgan's pressure, before Liverpool's two strikers came back to participate in the defense, was able to suppress the number of opposing midfielders.
Liverpool's midfield defence will inadvertently press forward to prevent the opponent from continuing to advance.
N'Golo Kante moved laterally from the left to pick up the ball and looked up to see Kramaric, Andy King and Rossi standing halfway between Liverpool's midfield line and the back line.
This vacuum is enough for them to take the ball and pass it.
Kante saw the moment and crossed the ball forward, and it wasn't Andy King in a straight line who was on the left, but Rossi on the left.
At the moment of the pass, Andy King quickly stepped forward, grabbed in front of Lorenff, and slotted into the box.
At this point, the ball slowly fell from above and landed on the line that Andy King cut in front.
[Nice pick-up pass, right-footed pass from Rossi.] 】
[Andy King gets stuck in position and enters the penalty area.] 】
【Shoot!】 】
[Oops, it's a pity, the ball almost grazed the post and flew out of the bottom line! ] 】
Andy King missed the chance to score and was very remorseful.
Although he was in a good position, Lorenv kept interfering with him with the ball and allowing him to finish with an uncomfortable shot.
Klopp, who was shocked into a cold sweat, immediately rushed to the sidelines and roared at the pitch.
He's not targeting one player on the pitch, he's targeting all of them.
One wrong step, one wrong step.
When Jurgen Klopp decided to defend, he was destined to be pressed by Leicester City.
Lyicester City used the central defenders to increase the number of players in midfield and threaten the Liverpool goal after penetrating on the flanks or in the middle.
In the final ten minutes, although Liverpool still had possession, Lyicester City completed two threatening attacks in the few possession time, which caused a burst of boos at Anfield Stadium.
What a passionate coach Klopp, who actually defended at home, was not passionate at all.
Klopp was very helpless.
The team has a lot of injuries, and when they are ahead, they have to play conservatively.
In stoppage time, Lyicester City were awarded a corner and goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel came out and got into the Liverpool box.
Andy King took a corner kick and was pushed out of the box by Lorenff, and Kante quickly appeared in the direction of the ball and chased it with all his might.
When he was about to take the ball down, he was pushed in the back with a strong force.
N'Golo Kante not only fell on the turf, but also lost possession.
Liverpool midfielder Lucas, who grabbed the ball, returned the ball to fullback Moreno, and quickly stepped forward with his teammates to form a 4v1 situation.
Moreno's pass, easily penetrating the midfield, came to the feet of Benteke.
At this time, in front of him, there was only Morgan, a defender.
[Schmeichel didn't come back, it's an empty door!] 】
[Benteke, it's time to hit the empty door again! ] 】
Amid the cheers of the 54,000 fans at Anfield and the passionate shouts of the on-site commentators, Benteke continued to advance with the ball.
He first used a fake shot real buckle to shake Morgan away, but the other party didn't shake it.
After Benteke took a step to the left, he noticed that the angle of the shot was smaller and closer to the opposing player.
If you don't shoot, you won't be able to.
Bang!
Benteke finally had a shot, but he opted for Morgan's crotch.
The moment he shot, Morgan quickly fell to the ground, expanded the defensive area, and just blocked the ball impartially.
The ball rolled towards the baseline, and Lucas tried to hit the ball into the goal with his head before the ball flew off the baseline, but Kramaric was chased back and blocked the bottom line with his body.
[Why didn't this ball push the empty goal early? ] 】
[Benteke's old mistake of not passing or shooting with a single knife has been committed again. 】
[Ao~Xie!
!
】
Then, there was a shrill sizzling sound at the scene, and the sound of the commentary disappeared.
The fans know that very well.
The narrator must have pulled out the cord and started cursing again.
You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
