(Cat Flutter Chinese) Although the final schedule may cause Liverpool's task to be very heavy, at this time, it has aroused everyone's fighting spirit even more: this season has played so many games, it is not easy to maintain the advantage until now, how can you not persevere to the end?

And, if there's any good news, it's that in the last five rounds of the league, Liverpool's opponents are not strong teams, and if you are serious, there probably won't be a problem. Among Chelsea's opponents, there is also Manchester United who are a strong team. Manchester United has recovered very quickly since the second half of the season, although they owe too much in the first half of the season, resulting in not being able to catch up with Liverpool and Chelsea, but at this time, they are also chasing after each other, and there is no intention of showing weakness at all, although they are always counting on Manchester United to block Chelsea, it is somewhat embarrassing to say it, but at this time, everyone still has some illusions.

And at this time, the league is put aside, and Liverpool also has one more thing that must be done. It's time for the Champions League away game and it's time for them to play Villarreal at the Love Song Stadium.

Although Liverpool won at home, Villarreal scored away goals, so Liverpool's advantage is not very secure. After all, Villarreal only need a 2-2 win on their home turf to knock Liverpool out of the competition.

Although it seems unlikely for Liverpool to lose -2, no one can say for sure. In fact, just last season, Villarreal was still at their home stadium, 3-bloodied Barcelona, Riquelme's game also disgraced Barcelona, their strength should not be underestimated after all, this game, has to be certified to deal with.

And in the game, Liverpool sent the strongest lineup that he could play. Carragher's place, after the previous game, was also filled by Bruno Alves, and Hyypia sat on the bench to watch the game.

In the game, Villarreal still built the lineup around Riquelme. Only this time, they used a double of Senna and Tacinadi at the back, while up front, they switched to Fran as a single striker, Valencia on the right and Solin on the left.

Unlike the previous game, the two sides were still tentative at the beginning, and in this game, from the first second, the two sides launched an attack. Less than five minutes into the game, Riquelme spotted a hole in the backline and sent a through ball to Forlan's feet. Forlan took advantage of Bruno's opening and kicked the ball towards the goal with a long-range shot!

Reina's brilliant save in front of goal saved Liverpool from a blow, but even so, the shot still drew jubilation at the Love Song Stadium.

"Liverpool should be more careful, such an opportunity, Forlan is very uncertain. If he had taken the opportunity to score a goal, it would have been a big problem. ”

Forlan is a good goalscorer, but after all, it is difficult to score from long range. The more people who can play beautiful football, generally there will not be many goals, and the fairy ball is beautiful and incredible, and it is impossible to play incredible football efficiently. This can also be said to be a contradiction between location and ornamentation.

Fran's attack this time obviously didn't have a good effect. His shot was too risky and was saved by Reina.

But it is true that Liverpool's defense is not good enough. Bruno's substitution was a bit worse than Carragher's, and at this time, his mistake almost caused the opponent's goal.

And apparently, Riquelme also noticed this. When he dribbled the ball again, he didn't attack immediately, but slowly passed laterally in the midfield, watching Forlan in front of him keep running.

If it is a mature back line, it is rare to tear out the void by running, but Liverpool's back line is not mature enough. What's more, what Riquelme wanted was not to rely on Fran to complete the task alone.

Liverpool is also very aware of the lack of defenders, and at this time, what they can do is to rely on attack to make up for the lack of backline. Another Liverpool attack was fired. Zhao Yaning broke through directly to the ribs on the side, and then kicked the ball to Gerrard in front of the penalty area. Gerrard slammed the ball out, but it hit the post and went wide. And this time, Villarreal's defender Peña got the ball and immediately made an attack!

Cruyff once commented on the Argentine team in 26 years and said that when this team was defending, it was a 4231 formation, and when attacking, it became a 3232 formation. The full-back moves to the full-back, and then the full-back goes up to the striker, which can make the team's attack extremely sharp in an instant, but the operation of this approach must also rely on a very good forward midfielder. The transformation of the whole formation requires the players to switch quickly. It's not too difficult for an off-ball player to make this kind of movement, but if you want to run and complete a quick counterattack at the same time, you need a good enough player to hold the ball and pass the ball to make the run effective.

Riquelme is clearly good enough. And this opportunity is also what he has been waiting for for a long time.

Valencia rushed forward in an instant, and he ran forward with Forlan to make Bruno Bruno in Liverpool's backline not resolute enough to fill in the position. And at this moment, Riquelme's through ball had already passed everyone and was handed to Forlan's feet.

At critical times, there must be enough trust in teammates, which is a necessary condition for the organizer.

Forlan had already adjusted his pace when he got the ball, and Bruno's rushing tackle was also blind in his eyes. Lifting his foot, right in front of Bruno, Forlan shot the ball out of the way!

"Oh no! Diego Forlan scores again! Liverpool are behind on the road! ”

The Love Song Stadium was boiling in an instant, and with one more ball, they would be able to advance to the Final Four!

"Don't worry, Bruno." walked to the backcourt, looking at Bruno Alves, who was on the ground after losing his position again, Zhao Yaning stretched out his hand and pulled him up, "Everyone will inevitably make mistakes, and there is no shame in making mistakes." Just defend well. Don't be discouraged, just keep an eye on it. ”

Bruno nodded and stood up, not saying anything more.

Liverpool's defensive system is based on Carragher's characteristics, and although Bruno has been replaced now, it is obviously impossible for Benitez to modify the defensive positioning system for the sake of temporary changes in these games. First, because he only needs a few games to play, he will still be a substitute in the future, and secondly, because at this time, he needs to rely more on Vidic's ability, and Vidic has just adapted to a system and cannot make more changes. What Liverpool can do is get him to adapt to Vidic, not for him – it's for the sake of results. Although Benitez rotates a lot up front, he always knows who can and can't.

Therefore, Bruno cannot be blamed simply for such a mistake. It's a pain that the team has to face, and no one can do anything about it. And what Zhao Yaning can do, except for comforting Bruno and relieving him of the guilt in his heart, there is only one thing left: he has to find a way to make the team score. As long as one goal can be scored, Liverpool's situation will be greatly improved.

Moreover, while Villarreal's attacking line is perfect, the defensive line is not necessarily the same. What I'm going to do now is to attack.

Villarreal's two-man style of play is still very strong: in fact, it is not their favorite method, their manager Manuel Pellegrini prefers the single midfield, diamond-shaped midfield position 442, but after being played by Liverpool at the door, they changed their style of play. And the cooperation of these two outstanding players, Tacinadi and Senna, has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Zhao Yaning and Gerrard.

However, this also made Zhao Yaning think of something - unlike Liverpool's backline, Villarreal's backline is very forward. They need to play with the midfielders and this is a big way for them to counter Liverpool's ferocious counter-attacking up front.

But this kind of play, in Zhao Yaning's view, is undoubtedly flawed. The back line is advanced, which can help the team gain more midfield advantages, but it is inevitable that there will be flaws behind them. The defenders' forward style of play is good for La Liga teams who like to work on the ground, but it is not very wise for England, who like long balls to instigate attacks.

But the question is how to exploit this vulnerability.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning did not directly impact the backcourt. He swept across the ball and after a couple of passes from midfield to Steven Gerrard, he began to push slowly.

Riquelme was not very involved in the defense, which made Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's advancement not suffer too many problems. Senna had to grab it, and at this time, Zhao Yaning saw the time and added a kick, and after making a one-two cooperation with Gerrard, he rushed directly to the backcourt.

This kind of cooperation is already his favorite practice. He has good explosiveness, runs fast, and can always keep an eye on the position of his teammates, and when he hands the ball to his teammates, his teammates' return passes do not have to be too angled, and the probability of being intercepted by the opponent is lower. And this kind of kicking is really easy to use. Two-by-one wall-to-wall coordination is the simplest and most basic way to match on the ground, and some good teams such as Argentina can easily play extremely wonderful football. Maradona's goal after a series of one-two in the 94 World Cup was regarded as a classic for a long time. And now, what Zhao Yaning has to do is not to make two consecutive one-by-one, what he has to do is to rely on two-over-one to get rid of the players, this kind of play could not be simpler.

This time, he easily passed Senna and faced Tacinadi behind him.

Tacinadi was accurately stuck in Zhao Yaning's path, he knew that it would be difficult for him to stop Zhao Yaning, in fact, Zhao Yaning only needed to choose a large step to change direction, which was enough to throw him away. However, at this time, it is necessary for him to create a barrier for the first layer of defense, so that Zhao Yaning's breakthrough is not so easy, and to fight for Senna's recovery and the players on the back line.

Zhao Yaning really stopped in front of him, and at this time, Senna also caught up. Zhao Yaning half-turned slightly, and after avoiding Senna's pursuit, Alonso, who had already seen the backcourt, stepped in.

Sure enough, Alonso read what he meant. At this time, he really needs Alonso's response.

With one foot of the return, Zhao Yaning has deliberately adjusted the degree and position of the return. Alonso met him, and the ball was given very well, so that he didn't have to stop the ball, it was enough to rub the ball and rub the ball over Zhao Yaning's head!

When Zhao Yaning turned around, what he saw was Milito, who had got the ball, and shot into the door!

“ga1！！！ Diego Milito!!! Liverpool pulled a goal back and the score was tied 1-1! ”
