Section 594 Confrontation of the front and waist
ChineseSlowing down with Riquelme's team sounds crazy, but Alonso immediately came to his senses, "You mean, instead of fighting with them and counter-attacking, you play oppressive football, compress their midfield space and don't give them enough space to organise? ”
Zhao Yaning nodded and added, "Then, in a slow pace, when we play, we can also adjust our rhythm more."
"It's okay, if you save up your physical strength, it's for this kind of competition." Alonso nodded immediately, "You can't be easy either, if you play positional battles, then you will be much more tired." ”
Zhao Yaning nodded, he had already thought about this.
In the first half just now, relying on the degree and fast-paced game, Liverpool was not able to win, but was played by Riquelme. But now, what Zhao Yaning thinks about is not to continue to mention, but to think the other way around: since the opponent's strongest is slow-paced football, then, play slow-paced football with him.
It's just that Liverpool's slow pace is not a rhythm that is at a loss after slowing down. What Zhao Yaning said about slowing down, naturally means pressing up step by step, and squeezing the opponent's activity space alive with an oppressive kick.
If the fast-paced style of play is to make Riquelme swing badly and win, then the slow-paced style of play is to let Riquelme swing well, but Liverpool has to rely on better strength to completely suppress the opponent.
Of course, such an idea is a bit crazy, but Alonso appreciates it. After all, Liverpool's own most adaptable pace is not too fast, and instead of relying on lowering each other's lower limits to play, it is not trying to play their best.
Zhao Yaning also thinks like this, and there is more to what he thinks: Riquelme is a master of rhythm, and it is obviously difficult to play rhythm change with him, because of his lack of physical fitness, he almost all of his energy is focused on the study of rhythm change, no matter what, he didn't expect that he would have the courage to fight rhythm change with him. Then, it's better to just give him the rhythm he is familiar with, and then play with him to change the rhythm.
Riquelme's passing, he likes to find open spots, pass open air, and when there is no free time, he would rather dribble himself than pass the ball out. If you press him more, control the midfield more, and let Villarreal have fewer chances up front, then he will let his own ball go wrong because he thinks about how to get the ball out and how to pass the chances.
At the same time, even if you slow down, you can still take the ball, you can pass, you can dribble forward. At the same time, his explosive power ensures that he has better power, and can make the change in rhythm bigger, so big that Riquelme can't adapt to it.
You have to have different ideas to deal with different people, Riquelme is everything, perfectionist tendencies, and has a strong desire to control, such a person, to deal with him, you can't control him by limiting himself, limiting his teammates, and at the same time, when he changes, don't give him too much time to think, which is enough for him to make mistakes.
Although Zhao Yaning is now placed on the side, he still regards himself as a forward midfielder after all. To be able to have such an opportunity to fight with Riquelme and try to rely on control to fight him, Zhao Yaning still wants to try. After all, there are not many opportunities to compete with the top strikers for control, and he still wants to try it and fight with Riquelme.
When I meet someone who kicks slowly, I can't be in a hurry, and the more anxious I am, the more problems will arise. Zhao Yaning remembered that in 1982, Maradona met Brazil, because Brazil was ahead, he watched Falcao in the midfield has been unhurried and calm, he was in a hurry, and directly wanted to kick him a lesson, but he kicked Batista, and as a result, he received a red card and ended his sub-national team journey.
Thinking of this, what Zhao Yaning thought about was naturally to force himself to calm down and play a good game with his opponent.
Soon, as soon as the game started again, Liverpool changed the pace of their movements. Sissoko and Alonso were no longer past half-time, but Reese stepped in, causing Zhao Yaning's position to move towards the middle. Coupled with Figo's retreat, for a time, Liverpool hoarded a large number of manpower in the midfield.
And this time, Liverpool didn't try to play on the extra anymore. Alonso and Sissoko were in charge of the defense, while Zhao Yaning relied on non-stop passing and receiving and midfield movement to move the line forward.
This is a slow progression, but it is very steady. Riquelme got the ball on several occasions and tried to organise the attack, but was unable to succeed. If Liverpool's backfield calms down and wants to defend to the core, it will be difficult for the opponent to penetrate them. Forlan's running position is not a strong point, at this time, he was also targeted by Liverpool's defenders, which also made Riquelme's passing more difficult, he wanted to try to break through, but he lacked degree and explosion, and when he broke through, he was also overly dependent on technology, which made Sissoko defend relatively easily. Although Sissoko committed several fouls, the action was not too big, and in the midfield position, most of the free kicks were meaningless free kicks that were extremely difficult to grasp, relying on the pressing style of play, Liverpool forced Villarreal back, and after Riquelme's poor swing, Liverpool regained the advantage in midfield.
"In this dialogue at the heart of the midfield, Riquelme gained an advantage in the first half, and in the second half, Zhao Yaning began to find his advantage."
Martin Taylor said appreciatively that it was not easy to be able to suppress Villarreal in midfield, even with excellent tackles from the backs. And now, now that the midfield advantage is in place, Liverpool need to think about how to attack.
After entering the positional battle, the opponent's defense will be much tighter, and at this time, what is needed is the ability to break through in a small area. This is Zhao Yaning's strength, but it is also a well-known thing, and now Zhao Yaning's defense is much tighter than just now.
At this time, when Zhao Yaning received the ball near the sideline again, Senna immediately leaned over and blocked his way.
Behind Zhao Yaning is the bottom line, and at this time, Zhao Yaning has no room to retreat and turn around, but he dialed the ball with his right foot behind his left foot, and then, he did not choose to pull the ball back, but took a big step out with his right foot, supported between the two people, and then, with his right foot as the axis, pulled the ball with the back heel of his left foot, turned around 18 degrees, and successfully passed Senna!
Senna was squeezed away by Zhao Yaning and couldn't grab the ball, but after Zhao Yaning passed him, he also turned his back to the midfield. At this time, Zhao Yaning knocked the ball backwards with his left foot and passed it to Figo behind him, and then ran forward quickly.
Figo gave the ball to Zhao Yaning with a kick, and the fullback who was filling in had already come, Zhao Yaning picked up the ball under the ball, and picked the ball to the middle at the same time, he immediately changed direction and continued to move forward.
Benta rushed over, but at this time, Zhao Yaning continued to add without hesitation, and after rushing past Benta, there were also holes in Villarreal's backline.
Raise your feet and pass the ball!
Zhao Yaning is not Riquelme, his habit is to involve himself in the void, and the vacancy he is involved in is indeed big enough, after Milito received Zhao Yaning's pass, there are about thirteen or fourteen meters away from the goal, he adjusted it with one kick, shot from close range, and kicked the ball into the goal!
“ga1!!!! Liverpool 2-1!!! Diego Milito's goal! Liverpool take the lead again! ”
Once again, Zhao Yaning proved that his idea was correct. Relying on the backcourt to press the space to make Riquelme unable to swing, and he himself relied on the breakthrough to make the opponent's defense problematic, this style of play is what should be done after facing a figure like Riquelme.
This way of thinking is the way you should think as a forward player when you encounter a strong opponent.
There are still more than 20 minutes left, and Zhao Yaning also believes that he can create new opportunities for the team again.
But Villarreal also made adjustments at this time: they made three changes in one go, Cazzola replaced Calleja, and Jose Mari was also replaced by the veteran Italian and Juventus's former vice-president Tacinadi. And Solin was also replaced, replaced by Ecuadorian teenager Valencia.
Go down a striker, come up a midfielder, obviously to strengthen the defense. At the same time, another Cazorla came up, apparently to share the pressure for Riquelme. And Valencia, this player, should be for counter-attack, after all, after playing for so long, a player with a good dribble and a fast degree is very useful to open up the situation.
At this time, Liverpool is still insisting on its own attack. Although Zhao Yaning also made some changes in his position according to the opponent's formation changes, his thinking remained the same - Sissoko and Alonso were enough to stop the opponent, and he only needed to think about attacking.
However, the combination of Senna and Tacinadi did cause Liverpool a lot of trouble. After all, Tacinadi has just come on the field, has a lot of energy, and is also very active in tackles, which makes Liverpool's attack ineffective for a while.
However, even so, Liverpool did take some chances. In an attack, Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to Gerrard on the right side, and Gerrard shot a shot that was saved from the bottom line, but also won a corner for Liverpool.
Attacking from corners has always been something that English teams are good at, and this is a good opportunity for Liverpool. And Zhao Yaning kicked the ball out, and when the ball went straight to the back point, there was chaos in the penalty area!
Zhao Yaning's pass was running towards Carragher, but Benta, who was standing in front of Carragher, jumped up and bent his legs backwards while fighting for the top - the result was that Carragher was kicked on his leg by him and fell directly in the penalty area!
The Liverpool players surrounded him, and the referee blew for a penalty and a yellow card - although Benta did kick Carragher's leg just now, but when he grabbed a point in the penalty area, his leg was also cocked backwards, and the ball was not a malicious foul.
However, Carragher is now very reluctant to stand up.
'Liverpool are injured Carragher now...... The team doctor made a substitution gesture to signal that Liverpool needed a substitution. In this game, Liverpool should have won, but Carragher's injury, will it have any impact? ”
Carragher was replaced by Hyypia and the game continued, with Alonso's penalty converted to make it 3-1.
Zhao Yaning gestured to Carragher, who went down, and motioned for him to go and recuperate from his injuries.
In this dialogue between the front and the waist, Zhao Yaning has already won Riquelme, and at this time in the game, Villarreal is no longer able to fight back in this game, and the overall situation has been decided. Cat flutter Chinese
