The Ball at Your Feet

After the game with Manchester United, Liverpool's next opponent, which is Birmingham.

In terms of strength and weakness, Liverpool is certainly better than Birmingham. But when it comes to last season's record, Liverpool has no advantage. Robbing the rich and helping the poor Liverpool is also a great spectacle in the Premier League last season.

But this season, Liverpool is obviously not ready to continue to rob the rich and help the poor. Since you want to win the league championship, you must be stable when you play a weak team. Otherwise, how can you win the long-distance race?

In this game, Liverpool also made a rotation: Garcia replaced Figo so that he could stay for the UEFA Champions League midweek.

The progress of the game was unexpectedly smooth. Less than a minute after the game started, Zhao Yaning was brought to the ground by Birmingham defender Cunningham, and Liverpool got a free kick.

"Seven rounds have been played this season, and Zhao Yaning still didn't score a free kick. Let's see how this... Free kick is found, Hypia! The goal is scored!!! The opening minute, Hypia scored!!! Liverpool scored from a set kick!"

Hypia happily hugged every teammate who came up to congratulate him, and he scored the goal as soon as the game started, which could not have been better.

"It seems that Zhao Yaning now prefers to pass free kicks into the penalty area, allowing the defenders to compete for the top instead of doing it alone. This would be better. This might make Liverpool score more goals. Benitez He is a coach who pays great attention to set kicks. Valencia does not have any special free kick players, but he has always been a team that scores a lot of set kicks. Let’s see, under his leadership, Can Liverpool have a better set-piece attack..."

While Martin Taylor was still talking, Liverpool had already launched a second attack. This time, Zhao Yaning directly chose the bottom on the left, and then, after a simple spike to get rid of, he passed the ball into the penalty area. Milito is facing the football, catching up immediately is a top ball!

"Al!!!!!! Liverpool scored the second goal in the first five minutes! It was so fast!"

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also very happy. In the last game, when he played against Manchester United, relying on his own breakthrough, he created a lot of trouble for Manchester United. In this game, he was thinking from the beginning to adjust his playing style. As Benitez ordered, such an opponent is not a very strong game. More often than not, he will keep playing and try Mobilize teammates. After all, football is a collective sport, and only after the teammates have played well can the team play well. Moreover, no matter how strong he is, he cannot guarantee that he will be unmatched at every critical moment. When his teammates are strong, they can stand up when they need help to make the league results more stable.

The results of his experiment are obviously still very good. Liverpool's players are not weak. Give them more opportunities and they can do better.

Liverpool’s strength is very strong, but no matter how strong the team is, it has to constantly tap its potential to make the team stronger. What Zhao Yaning is doing now is how to dig out other offensive routines of the team to make the team stronger.

Liverpool's current lineup, although there is a problem that the bench lineup is not too thick, but the starting lineup is indeed good enough. And Benitez's tactical thinking is very good: all of Liverpool's eleven players are taller than m, and they are full of strength and stamina. In terms of confrontation, they are absolutely not afraid of any team. In terms of technology, although there is still a gap with an extremely technical team like Milan, they can steadily gain the upper hand compared to most of the Premier League teams. Such an excellent team is worldwide. , There are not a few, in the All Premier League, except for Chelsea, they really do not have any opponents at all.

Of course, what they need is a very important thing: they need someone to connect them.

In fact, modern football has developed to this day, and in many cases, organizing the midfielder is a new thing that came into being. Compared with the previous era, modern football has a faster pace and requires more offensive and defensive conversion passes initiated at the first time. Therefore, it has extremely high requirements on the ability of the midfielder to play the ball. At the same time, because of modern football More running, more pressing, stronger confrontation. Those frontcourt players who rely on technology to eat and are weak in body often find it difficult to hold the ball. Hand the ball to the backcourt players to make those in the backcourt stronger. , And the players who face fewer presses take a lot of the ball, and the frontcourt players move more without the ball, which is a good way to reduce turnovers.

The organization's midfielder came into being. The reason why Pirlo is believed to have changed the history of football is precisely because of this: his appearance has given a new idea of ​​relying on technology to fight the body. The four talented midfielders before him are also very good technical players, but their task is to steal, initiate a counterattack, move forward, and assist with a long pass. But the appearance of Pirlo makes the playing style of the midfielder different. His task is to take the ball, control the rhythm, master the pressure and contraction of the team, and organize the attack and launch the attack.

What he did was basically post-position the task of the front midfielder's organization. This was something that no one before him could achieve.

Alonso may be consciously inferior to Pirlo, but he is definitely one of the top three organizations in the world. His excellent overall outlook and awareness allows him to take the ball, pass the ball and organize well. His weakness is that he can't get rid of well and can't complete the task of plugging in well, but his advantage is that his defense is tough enough to take on part of the defensive task. Half organization, half defense, he can take on some of these two tasks.

No matter which team he is in, he should be a central figure in the organization. But in Liverpool, he now plays in two ways.

When encountering a weak team, he really played the role of the core of the organization. Zhao Yaning is responsible for making threats in the frontcourt by relying on his running position and deterrence, and then giving the team a chance. But when it came time to play a strong team, Alonso took the initiative to reduce the organization and scheduling, as the hub of offensive and defensive conversion, responsible for the first time the ball to Zhao Yaning. The organization is still left to Zhao Yaning to complete.

The reason for this is also very simple: although it is also able to hold the ball, pass the ball, and complete the organization task. But Zhao Yaning's range of activities is between 15 meters and 25 meters in front of the restricted area, while Alonso's range of activities is near the midfield. The closer you get to the penalty area, the greater your chances. This is an unchanging truth. Zhao Yaning's ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt means that he can find more opportunities in the frontcourt. Once a fleeting opportunity appears, People who are close to the goal are always easier to grasp. When playing against a strong team, more opportunities mean more chances of scoring. This cannot be changed.

But against Manchester United, Zhao Yaning would not hesitate to eat four or five tackles and attack, but when he met Birmingham, it was unnecessary to play. Faced with such a team, Alonso is enough as an organizer.

But now, Alonso is also trying to make some new attempts, that is, more let two people play a role at the same time.

After all, Zhao Yaning's ability to handle the ball is superior, and in the frontcourt, his last pass ability is also higher than others. He gets the ball, many bad opportunities can become good, the attack can be smoother, which makes Alonso willing to hand the ball directly to him to deal with-this two people complement each other, let Liverpool's Attacks can become much smoother. Two cores, it is best to be able to play together. Otherwise, it is always a waste to simply operate one core effect and another person plays a supporting role.

However, this change has to be done slowly. From single-core to dual-core, it is not so easy to over-success. Fortunately, the two people have a tacit understanding, and it will not take a long time to find the most suitable rhythm.

Liverpool's oppression of Birmingham is not over yet, and towards the end of the first half, Liverpool finally found another opportunity.

After Alonso passed the ball to Zhao Yaning on the left, Zhao Yaning started running along the top of the penalty area arc. With one foot and Gerrard to complete two over one, after getting to the right, he still didn't see any chance of the opponent's back line. They looked very **** themselves, whether it was an attack or a pass. He handed the ball to Garcia on the wing, then pointed to Alonso who came in behind it. While Garcia gave Alonso the ball, Gerrard also ran out of the left side of the penalty area.

Alonso passed the ball directly to Gerrard's feet.

Lift your foot and shoot!

"Al!!! The third goal of Liverpool!!! Stephen Gerrard! It is still a violent long shot, it is still so pleasing to the eye! Liverpool are leading by three goals, and their advantage is even greater!"

Although it was a three-goal lead, this time, Martin Taylor did not say that he had won. Last year's Champions League final had an impact that was not just a game.

This goal made Zhao Yaning also very happy: in addition to goals and assists, he can also do other things. Just like just now, attracting the defense at the front of the penalty zone and creating opportunities for teammates is a good effect.

In the second half, Liverpool's attack began again, and this time, it was Riise who launched the attack. After he got in on the left, Zhao Yaning went to the bottom, he cut inside, and at the same time gave Zhao Yaning the ball. Zhao Yaning kicked the ball back to him, wanting him to pass the ball to himself in order to complete a goal against the penalty area. During the impact, Risser chose to raise his foot, and slammed the door from thirty meters away~www.wuxiaspot.com~!

"John Riiser scored again! Liverpool obviously came here today! 4-0! Zhao Yaning has completed three assists in the fifty minutes of the game! The game is only fifty minutes, we still have time, let Let's see if he can do anything more!"

At this time, the singing of Liverpool fans has already resounded throughout the stadium. Although this is an away game, although they are not the host here, their players are using their efforts to conquer these other lands.

At this time, another attack from Liverpool came. Gerrard was fouled by the opposing player in the fight, and Liverpool won a free kick.

Carragher and Hypia both rushed to the frontcourt to grab points. At this time, Liverpool fans, as if you saw a penalty kick, all celebrated in advance.

Never let the fans' celebrations go in vain-Zhao Yaning only kicked the ball out after only one run-up.

The ball is high, and the pass is far away... Goalkeeper Mike Taylor looked at Hypia and didn't dare to relax. However, the football suddenly plummeted and dived directly into the goal.

Damn it! Mike Taylor rushed forward, but he was already a step slower. The football spins into the net and Liverpool scores again!

"5-0!!!!!! Zhao Yaning scored his first free kick of the season! It seems that he hasn't forgotten how to score a free kick! Liverpool's big lead, they proved that with Zhao Yaning, they are unmatched Strong team!"
