Section 512 The start of the league
U8 Update Fastest Reading Network On August 10, Liverpool finally ushered in the Champions League play-offs with Shakhtar Donetsk.
As the champion of the Ukrainian Premier League, Shakhtar Donetsk's strength is still quite good. But this is good, and the score is compared to whom.
If they have met other teams, they may have some chances of successfully qualifying for the main event. But it was Liverpool that they encountered.
After all, Liverpool is a European giant, and, among the teams participating in the play-offs, Liverpool's European points are the first, they are recognized as one of the strongest teams, although the champion of the Ukrainian Premier League is very strong, but compared with Liverpool, the gap between each other's strength is still very large.
Although the game was played away, Liverpool took the initiative on the field soon after. Compared to the jerky at the beginning of the league last year, this year's Liverpool has improved a lot in terms of coordination and cooperation.
And Benitez's idea also worked well. When you can't pass the ball, you will hand it over to Zhao Yaning, and Zhao Yaning's possession of the ball will not have any problems in the front court, which greatly reduces the error rate, and this style of play makes Liverpool quickly control the situation. In less than twenty minutes, Liverpool had completely overwhelmed the midfield and started playing around the box.
Zhao Yaning reduced the time with the ball and the breakthrough distance in the game, but, as arranged in the tactics, his role became more obvious.
The ribs of the big forbidden area have always been the most dangerous area. Zhao Yaning's continued activity in this position is enough to make the opponent's full-back and central defender pay enough attention to him at the same time, and if a player without the ball attracts the opponent's defence, then the team's attack will naturally be easy to open.
Moreover, what's more, Zhao Yaning's skills are good enough after all, and it is extremely fast for him to go from running without the ball to breaking through with the ball. His stop can stop at the first time, and then he can attack directly, so that he can attack at any time according to his own ideas.
In the 29th minute, Liverpool scored their first goal. After Zhao Yaning received the ball with his back near the small penalty area, he immediately wiped the ball with his left foot and turned around and entered the penalty area. Facing the two people's supplementary defense, Zhao Yaning took a step behind him, then turned around, quickly took two steps to the side, and then turned around suddenly, picked up the high ball and rubbed it straight to the back point.
Milito met his pass and made a beautiful header to head the ball inside the goal.
"Nice blow!"
The narrator couldn't help but shout.
From Zhao Yaning receiving the ball to launching an attack and scoring a goal, it took less than ten seconds for an attack to be completed.
And the attack is far from over.
Soon, Liverpool's attack was launched again. This time, Zhao Yaning ran to the middle and Geraldra to the side. After getting the ball, Zhao Yaning ran sideways along the edge of the penalty area. His running drove the defense of the entire back line, and the protection of the back line was torn out by him A huge hole, and at this time, Zhao Yaning turned his back at the edge of the penalty area and gave the ball to Alonso who was inserted in the back row.
Alonso hit the goal with a powerful kick, and the ball flew into the net!
That's how to kick - Zhao Yaning thought in his heart.
And in the second half, Shakhtar Donetsk tried to launch a counterattack after making some adjustments. Their defence pressed out and began to try to steal the football from Liverpool's feet with aggressive scrambling in midfield.
This hampered Liverpool's attack, but it didn't cause much trouble. After Shakhtar Donetsk pressed out, Zhao Yaning also moved from the wing to the middle, this time, he took Gerrard's place, and he began to rely on a large drop back to help the team control the ball.
Shakhtar Donetsk's counter-robbery advantage did not maintain a five-minute advantage before it was completely disrupted by Zhao Yaning's retreat and possession.
After passing with Alonso a few times and controlling the situation on the field that was no longer dangerous, Zhao Yaning received the ball again and directly pushed the ball to Figo on the right side. Figo didn't even stop the ball and kicked the ball directly into the box.
Zhao Yaning, who was inserted at high speed, ran directly to the first landing point of the ball. Faced with the ball still in the air, he raised his right foot and made a gesture to catch the goal, which made the opposing defender immediately tackle. However, Zhao Yaning's raised right foot took a big step forward, and at the same time, his left shoulder stretched forward, stopped the ball forward, and directly passed the opponent's defender.
At this time, the goalkeeper also saved, but Zhao Yaning stood firm with his right foot, and when his left foot stretched out, the outside instep gently picked shè and picked the ball past the goalkeeper!
'Liverpool scored the third goal! They have completely defeated their opponents! Zhao Yaning's performance is beyond reproach, Liverpool is away, beating the opponent completely! ”
In the first game of the season, Liverpool claimed an impeccable victory. The red clothes in the stands were beating, as if to indicate that this season, Liverpool will usher in a season that is as dazzling as a flame -
After the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, Liverpool also ushered in the first round of the league against Middlesbrough
Race.
The match with Shakhtar Donetsk is just a warm-up before the league, and this game is the official start of the league.
Last season, Middlesbrough played quite well against Liverpool, and their home game relied on Downing's performance to win 2-0 against Liverpool. At the time, people didn't pay attention to that game, but with Liverpool winning the European Championship, Middlesbrough also increased in value, and Downing was even dubbed a Liverpool killer by the media.
However, there is too much publicity in the English media, and all kinds of newcomers emerge in an endless stream, but these newcomers have been forgotten about after all. Even the name of Liverpool's killer is shared by Joe Cole, as well as Crouch and Downing, and no one can remember who Downing of Middlesbrough is until the time of the game against Liverpool.
But the first league game of the year, Liverpool vs. Middlesbrough, made Middlesbrough very excited.
'We played well against them last year. Downing expressed his opinion to the media, "Liverpool played well in the Milan game, and other times, it was not good. ”
It just made the Liverpool players sneer: It's as if you've seen how we play when Liverpool's main players are all there. Is it just that after playing against our half-crippled, tired lineup, and winning a game, did you start to be so smug?
And as soon as the game started, Liverpool immediately began to attack wildly.
This Liverpool team is completely different from last season's Liverpool. Last season, they were still a team based on defense and counterattacking, and now they have begun to rely on the midfield to fight and start to attack in the half.
After Gerrard mentioned the front court, people already expected that Liverpool's approach to playing was likely to move in the direction of counter-attacking in the front court. But at this time, people still can't believe it: Liverpool's front-court counter-robbery is very fierce, even if their midfield interception is just as terrifying!
The guy named Mohammed Sissoko was a complete monster, he ran, he tackled, he confronted, he intercepted, Middlesbrough's attack, he was forced to stop near him, he was in the middle of the road, and almost no one could break through.
Middlesbrough have no shortage of good players, with their striker Jimmy Hasselbaink, a former Premier League Golden Boot winner, and his striker partner being Middlesbrough's £750 new star Jakubu.
On the midfield line, they also have players such as Downing, which can be said to be very good, but now when they face Liverpool, they are forced to almost can't even pass the midfield.
The trio of Gerrard, Alonso, and Sissoko swept in the midfield and completely made Middlesbrough unable to press.
But Liverpool's attack came very quickly. Just ten minutes into the game, Liverpool had their chances.
Zhao Yaning retreated from the left side, and after receiving a pass from Sissoko, he did not choose to insert it himself, but made a long pass and gave the ball to Figo on the right side. Figo took a few steps to shake off his opponent and then sent the ball straight into the box with a high cross.
Milito didn't choose to hit the ball first, he jumped up from near and transitioned the ball to the far post. Zhao Yaning, who had already rushed up, received the ball at the far point, and was less than ten meters away from the gate, he didn't hesitate much, and directly pushed shè into the near corner and kicked the ball into the gate.
"Zhao Yaning's first shè door after the opening! He broke through the door for Middlesbrough and scored the first league goal of the season for Liverpool! ”
Simple and easy goals. Zhao Yaning was also incredulous about this goal. Sure enough, after giving up a lot of dribbling impacts, his own attack became stronger. He's quicker off the ball and less dangerous, and when the team has multiple attack points, it really gets stronger.
And just five minutes after that goal, Liverpool had another chance. This time, after Alonso passed the ball to Figo, Figo was brought down by his opponent and won a free-kick for Liverpool.
"Luis Figo played an excellent game in this game and deserves to be the Footballer of the Year. He replaced a large part of Zhao Yaning's time with the ball, and shared a lot of Zhao Yaning's regular dribbling work, which made Zhao Yaning no longer have to face a lot of pressing and blocking all the time, he could run calmly, and the breakthrough distance when necessary became shorter, which made Liverpool stronger. ”
While the commentator was still explaining, Zhao Yaning had already taken a free kick. Carragher, who was at the back post, ran towards the middle, which made the defenders at the back post follow. But Gerrard, who was near the penalty spot, ran to the back post, he took two steps forward, and a lion shook his head and smashed the ball into the goal!
“gooooal!!!!!! Stephen Gerald! A header with great momentum! Liverpool scored another goal to take the lead with a score of 2-0! It was only at this point that the commentator added the second half of the sentence, "It also gave him more physical strength and jīng strength to mobilize the offense and make this team more outstanding." ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
