Football’s First Defender

Suarez's goal made Liverpool fans cheer for a long time.

Although the final victory has not yet been achieved, the gap between one goal and two goals is different.

Now that the score has returned to a tie, with Liverpool's excellent offensive strength, Liverpool fans have reason to believe that the team can continue to score goals at Anfield Stadium and continue to pursue the victory of the game when there is still nearly an hour of game time.

The score of 1 to 1 can be regarded as 0 to 0, and everything starts from scratch!

A draw and a fall behind, for Liverpool players, the psychological pressure is different.

Being behind in the score before, and two goals away from victory, some Liverpool players couldn't let go.

But now, the score has been tied, only one goal behind, and the mentality of the Liverpool players has been adjusted very quickly.

Players can face the game with a normal mentality.

A draw is different from a draw. When it was 0-0 before, Liverpool was unable to break the deadlock for a long time, and they all felt a little anxious.

But in the case of falling behind first and then equalizing the score, with the previous situation of falling behind as a comparison, the Liverpool players now have a fairly peaceful mentality in the face of a draw.

Supported by such a mentality, Liverpool instead launched a wave of extremely threatening offensive at the last moment of the first half of the game.

Among them, Suarez and Gerrard hit the goal with two direct free kicks, which almost opened the finger of the Newcastle goalkeeper.

Suarez's high-quality free kick hit the goal, and it was saved by the Newcastle goalkeeper when it flew over the goal line.

However, Gerrard's free kick turned a huge arc and flew over the goalkeeper's defensive area, but in the end it was just a little bit away. The right column flew out of the bottom line.

The first half ended with a score of 1-1.

During the intermission, after some hesitation, Rodgers still told the players that Manchester City had already taken a 2-0 lead on another field.

Even though this will increase the pressure on Liverpool players, Rogers still chooses to believe that his players can withstand the pressure and strive for the final victory.

Now, it is possible to win the championship without losing. With Manchester City's high probability of winning, Liverpool can only win in order to keep the Premier League champion who has struggled for a whole season at the end of the league.

On the other hand, Newcastle's locker room is also undergoing final pre-match mobilization. The Newcastle coach hopes that the players can become the group of people who made history.

If they lose, then Newcastle is destined to become the background board for Liverpool's first Premier League title, and if they can keep the game, when talking about Manchester City's reversal and winning the championship in the future, it will also be a highlight for Newcastle itself.

Newcastle is looking forward to controlling their own destiny with defense, and Liverpool also wants to use offense to keep the long-awaited Premier League championship trophy directly at Anfield!

In the second half of the duel between spear and shield, with the whistle of the referee, it appeared again.

Although there are only 45 minutes left in the final half of the game, the Liverpool players have done an excellent job in adjusting their mentality at halftime. Don't worry, just look for opportunities patiently.

Sometimes, by attacking patiently, opportunities will present themselves.

Suarez made a right bottom breakthrough at the beginning of the second half. During the march, he kicked and passed into the penalty area, almost allowing Sturridge to follow up with a header and score.

It's just that Sturridge, who went forward to the front point, chose to pursue the angle of the goal, and then hit the goal with a header, but because the angle he pursued was too tricky, he slid the back post and flew out of the baseline, failing to score.

And two minutes later, Gerrard's long-range shot hit the goal, which also tested the Newcastle goalkeeper's defensive ability. Almost, Gerrard's heavy bombardment could score this historic overtake for Liverpool in the game a ball.

In the end, Liverpool overtook the score and was infinitely close to the key goal of the Premier League champions, which appeared in the 58th minute of the game.

The 1-1 draw has allowed Liverpool to continuously speed up their offensive rhythm, and the exhausted Newcastle defense naturally had to pay a lot of fouls to suspend Liverpool's offensive posture. In less than 60 minutes, Newcastle had already lost With 6 yellow cards, you can see how much defensive pressure Liverpool's offense has put on the Newcastle players.

This time, Liverpool took a free kick on the right side of the opponent's front field. Because it was too close to the wing, this ball was not suitable for a direct attack. It was just a set kick that could be passed.

Gerrard made a run-up and took the ball himself. The ball did not go to the scramblers near the small penalty area, but it seemed to be passed too big. Out of the bottom line.

This ball is definitely not an excellent pass, the ball is too high, and the landing position is quite poor.

But some players can turn this "bad" pass into a wonderful assist.

Yang Feng, a player who has become one of the greatest defenders in Liverpool history in a short period of time, is the player who helped Liverpool complete a historic goal.

After Gerrard made a pass, Yang Feng "saw" that the pass was not placed well, and instead of following the tactics, he ran to the area in front of the goal to compete for the top. Yang Feng went directly to the front left and hit the area behind the goal run at the bottom line.

This kind of non-threatening running position did not arouse the vigilance of Newcastle's defenders, but just ensured proper follow-up.

On the other hand, Yang Feng has been running at full speed, because Gerrard's pass is very powerful and the ball is very fast.

When he saw the route of Gerrard's pass, the defender following Yang Feng wanted to speed up and catch up, but he had already lost his defensive position.

Yang Feng speeded up, fixed his eyes on the football, and then jumped straight into the air.

In the air, with coordinated eyes and feet, Yang Feng raised his leg high, directly touched the ball with his right foot, swung his ankle, and completed a super difficult, irregular shot in the air.

Yang Feng's shooting power is limited, but Gerrard's passing power is sufficient, Yang Feng just needs to change the trajectory of the ball.

Yang Feng hit the goal in the air, very close to the baseline, and the shooting angle may not even be 10 degrees.

But it was because of Yang Feng's excellent control of the force of his ankle that he suddenly turned into a shot on goal.

Newcastle's goalkeeper was unable to react in time. He didn't expect that the pass that should have flown out of the baseline was "fished" back directly and formed a kick.

The goalkeeper was unprepared and did not block the ball, and the ball flew directly into the net.

"Boom!"

The football flew into the gate, and Yang Feng also landed heavily, but at this time, the pain was nothing to do, because the cheers, shouts, and Yang Feng's inner excitement made Yang Feng forget the pain, and just Excited, happy mood left...

"Liverpool overtook!"

Although it is not the time to call out that we are the champions, Liverpool is ahead. As long as the score is maintained, Liverpool will be the new Premier League champions...
