The Ball at Your Feet

Liverpool have played against Bundesliga teams this season and last season, but when they played against Bayern, they quickly realized that Bayern Munich is very different from other Bundesliga teams.

Whether it is Leverkusen or Werder Bremen, although their strength is slightly worse, their overall skills and tactics are the kind of style that is very suitable for offense. When playing against Liverpool, although their defense was full of loopholes played by Liverpool, their own offense also posed a big threat to Liverpool.

But this Bayern is different. Their attack is not much stronger than that of Bremen and Leverkusen. It can even be said that they are slightly weaker than the Bremen attack line led by Klose. However, their excellent defense, It was enough to surprise Liverpool.

The hardness of their defense is absolutely world-class. The midfielders Ballack, Hargreaves, Jeremys and even Schweinsteiger can defend very well. They can protect Bayern’s defense from directly facing the opponent’s attack. On the back line, Ismail and Demichelis are both excellent defensive players. They are not as easy to break as the defense of other Bundesliga teams. In the face of strong opponents, at least they will not Was immediately beaten through. They do not have the weak defense that is common in the Bundesliga. Relying on the entanglement of Hargreaves, Jeremys and Barack, they can be regarded as containing Zhao Yaning's attack, making Liverpool's attack not effective.

And their attack is very simple and direct-they are used to attacking two wingers, with a pair of exceptionally good full-backs like Saniol and Lizarazu, their wing inserts A lot of assists. In the middle, Ma Kai's ability to grab points and Ballack's ability to plug in the back row are also fully displayed with the support of the side. Although the tactics are simple, the kick is indeed very practical.

In this match of Liverpool, Maicon was suspended because of the accumulation of yellow cards. Although Riise and Finnan are not technically bad, they are really inferior to Lizarazu and Saniol, the two sophisticated guys. Not long after the game started, both sides were in a downturn. .

But even so, Bayern's attack did not have much effect, and the gap between their mid-range strength and Liverpool's is too big. The game between the two sides has always been deadlocked.

After Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he rushed forward a few steps with the ball, and was entangled by the opponent's Jeremys. Zhao Yaning tried to sway him twice, but did not sway him. At this time, Barack also ran over. Zhao Yaning could only give the ball to Figo with one kick.

But at this time, Hargreaves made a tackle and took the ball to his feet before Figo touched the ball.

Zhao Yaning sighed and went into the counter-grab: the schedule was too tight, and almost every game was a fierce battle, which made it difficult for Liverpool's main players to get a rest. Zhao Yaning is okay, but Gerrard, who is already playing with a wide range of running, and Figo, who is 34 years old, can hardly withstand this intensity of the game.

In this game, Liverpool's frontcourt was generally sluggish, and the running was not active enough, which is also one of the reasons why they have not been able to open the situation up to now.

In this game, Bayern arranged Jeremys to defend Zhao Yaning, and the idea of ​​letting Hargreaves and Barack assist in defense is also very good-Jeremys is not younger than he was in 2002. After the World Cup, he began to decline. He played in the European Cup in 2004, but he didn't play very well. When the physical strength drops, it is inevitable that the defensive ability will decline.

However, his task in this game is to guard Zhao Yaning. He doesn't need him to be responsible for the offensive and defensive transition, nor does he need to make a breakthrough. He just stares at Zhao Yaning in the backcourt. The toughness of this player and his toughness have allowed him to complete this job well. After all, he is a character who dared to shout'our center line is your bottom line' at Vieira. Although his strength is not enough, but Tenacity and hard work, but he never lags behind.

On the other hand, Hargreaves, named on the left side, and Schweinsteiger, named on the right side, kept advancing for him to complete the sweep in the backcourt, dominating the sideways, interrupting the coordination work, plus With Barak's occasional support, they did succeed in guarding Zhao Yaning.

"Liverpool is still affected by the horrible schedule." Martin Taylor commented on them after seeing Liverpool playing too late. "It looks like they are really tired. For oppression. In terms of the way of playing **** football, the most important thing is the protection of physical strength. Now Liverpool’s physical problems have directly led to their lack of frontcourt counters, which made their overall decline."

"Yes...but to be honest, Zhao Yaning was also a bit depressed in this game, which is rare. I always thought that his physical strength would never be afraid of any confrontation."

"Physical fatigue is easy to handle, but psychological exhaustion is hard to handle. So many consecutive games are against strong opponents, and you have to keep your nerves tight at all times. Under such pressure, psychological exhaustion. It’s even worse."

In fact, at this time, Zhao Yaning did have an idea in his heart: the teammates are very tired, this game is still away, although he is confident that Liverpool's strength is only stronger than Bayern, but under such physical strength, only I am afraid it will be difficult to win the game. It would be a good way to go back to Anfield and fight for the victory if this game is closed for a kick and a draw. It’s a good thing for everyone to save some energy.

It's just that at this time, even though he had turned such thoughts, he still did not dare to do so. After all, giving up the game so easily is not something he likes to do. But even so, when he was playing, he was afraid that his teammates would not be able to keep up, so he slowed down, which also made Bayern's defense a lot easier.

Zhao Yaning didn't know that this is psychological fatigue: psychological fatigue refers not to the fatigue of not wanting to move, but to make excuses for his laziness.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning did not immediately seek a breakthrough. He took the ball and tried to shake it twice. After seeing that there was not much movement from Jeremys defending him, he passed the ball directly to it. Gerrard on the frontcourt.

Gerrard received the ball, took a long shot and kicked the ball towards the gate. Kahn lifted the ball out of the crossbar with a single palm. Such a simple attack is not enough to break his gate.

Until the end of the first half, the two sides remained in a stalemate, and there was no change in the score.

"Liverpool's attack has been unable to start the situation. Such a deadlock is uncomfortable enough. But this is Bayern Munich's home court after all. They will definitely strengthen their offensive in the second half. Let's see how Liverpool will choose to respond. ."

Although thinking that there will be changes on both sides, when they saw Liverpool's adjustments after midfield, the commentators were still surprised, "Liverpool replaced Walcott...this is really an unexpected choice. The seven-year-old is entrusted with important tasks in the competition, but can this really succeed?"

At this time, Zhao Yaning understood the meaning of the coach replaced by Walcott. Bayern and Liverpool are now in a deadlock, not because Bayern is stronger, or because both sides can contain the other's attacks. The key to Bayern's excellence lies in the fact that Liverpool's current midfielder is exhausted and lacks sufficient counter-attack pressure and sufficient counter-attack speed.

But Volco's special ability is not good, speed is his biggest guarantee. It is precisely because he can supplement one of Liverpool’s most lacking links and bring vital counter-attack speed to Liverpool in this game, so Benitez will replace the ineffective Figo and replace it with Figo. Walcott.

His speed will greatly help Liverpool, the key is how to create suitable opportunities for him.

Soon, Liverpool had a chance.

Ballack's long shot formed a corner kick, and in chaos, the ball was pushed to Schweinsteiger's feet. He did not dare to shoot, but kicked the ball to Lizarazu on the wing. Lizarazu made a long pass, but Vidic ordered it out. The ball reached Zhao Yaning's feet. When Zhao Yaning turned around, he had already seen the general openness of the opponent's wing.

Kick, pass!

The moment Walcott got the ball, he rushed out quickly. He was still near his own penalty zone when he started, but when Lizarazu turned around, he had already crossed the center line.

So fast...

It wasn't just Lizarazu thinking that, Zhao Yaning also had the same idea at this time. He was a bit ahead of Walcott, and he didn't have to turn around, but the two crossed the center line almost at the same time, and after halftime, Walcott even left Zhao Yaning behind. One position. This kind of stride without anyone defending is his favorite way to play. It's simple and straightforward, it's crazy raids. He can do things like this better than anyone else.

Zhao Yaning didn't relax, he also got in from the middle. Ismail is near the penalty area, and Demichelis is near the midfield. They have all started to defend. Although Walcott is fast enough, but the technique is not good enough, he faces two guards alone, Zhao Yaning is still worried. At this time, he had already increased his speed to the limit, trying to catch up, trying to help Walcott.

Demichelis followed Zhao Yaning, but speed was not his strong point, and he was also thrown off a bit. In the vicinity of the penalty area, Walcott had already turned to the penalty area, and Ismail judged his position and chose a position. For such an opponent, Ismail is also very clear that once he has been passed, there is absolutely no possibility of chasing him back. However, he has to bet that Walcott has absolutely no possibility of changing directions at such a high speed.

And the facts are as he expected~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Walcott really can’t change direction, but when Walcott approached Ismail, Ismail stretched out very well. Out, he stopped in front of him. Walcott was a little embarrassed to protect the ball, he kicked the ball towards the midfielder, but barely looked at anyone, and passed the ball out.

He passed the ball badly and couldn't find the position at all. But at this time, such a pass was enough. On the backcourt, as long as Zhao Yaning and Demichelis chase back in the middle, Zhao Yaning stepped up and once again expanded the distance with Demichelis. The moment he grabbed the ball, Has rushed into the penalty area with the ball.

With a roar, Kahn rushed out of the penalty area. But at this time, instead of disturbing Zhao Yaning's yelling, Zhao Yaning calmed down a bit: he finally got a single shot, and it was much easier now.

Kahn's attack blocked Zhao Yaning's best shooting angle, but at this time, Zhao Yaning had already judged his position. Sideways, preparing, kicking, Zhao Yaning made a flat ball and pushed the ball out quickly against the ground. Kahn immediately fell to the ground, but after all, he was a step slower. The football rolled into the ball from under him. Inside the net!

"Al!!! Liverpool scored the goal, Liverpool 1-0 Bayern Munich!"
