The Ball at Your Feet

"The match between Liverpool and Chelsea at Anfield is the most important battle of the season for both teams. If Liverpool wins the game, then they may hit the Triple Crown again. Honor, and if Chelsea win the game, then they will also make the most complete end to their decline this season."

In a few minutes, the game will begin, and at this time, Lineker and Alan Hansen are also discussing this year's Champions League game.

"In yesterday's game, Milan won, and now Manchester United has been eliminated. It is impossible for Premier League teams to meet in the final. However, this game will determine a winner and go to the final. Against Milan, the Premier League will still have a team to enter the final, and there is also a chance to win the cup. Personally, I prefer Liverpool. After all, I want to know that Zhao Yaning is in the final and faces the card As for the card, the two of them, whose level is better."

After Manchester United defeated Milan 3-2 at home, they lost a clean 0-3 on the away game. Milan's strong strength was revealed in the game. Although Manchester United wanted to kill the enemy, but was unable to return to the sky, and was defeated by Milan. The kick was a mess, and he was defeated.

"We have nothing to say about losing."

This is the consensus of Manchester United after the game. In fact, many people have not realized at this time that the two games against Milan also made Ferguson complete a further transformation: before that, although he wanted to be continental, in his bones, Ferguson was still the same in 1999. A passionate offensive coach who advocates attack. After this game, Ferguson learned from his painful experience and made Manchester United completely embarked on the road of defense first. This huge change is becoming more and more obvious after 2008.

In this game, Kaka scored Milan's first goal, expanded his goal to double digits, and also used his own performance to amaze everyone.

"Kaka is the son of God!" This is what the Italian yelled after the game.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with Kaka's performance in the game, even if it is a god-level performance. He showed his strength to the fullest in the game, completely ahead of others by one level.

It's just this level, excluding Zhao Yaning.

Although Zhao Yaning didn't score a goal against Chelsea in the first scene, the two hat tricks in front made no one dare to neglect his role. The English media may lose in other matters, but they won't lose if they quarrel and scold each other.

"Zhao Yaning is unique!" The English media are also promoting Zhao Yaning's role. "Why is someone who has never had a hat trick in the Champions League compare to Zhao Yaning?"

"I don't know if Kaka can compare to Zhao Yaning, but I am looking forward to it. After seeing Kaka's outstanding performance, Zhao Yaning will give us a more exciting performance in this game." Alan Hansen did not give too much comment on what the media said. After all, he still understands that at the level of Zhao Yaning and Kaka, their strength is more determined by their performance. He doesn't dare to jump to conclusions about who is better than anyone. "I look forward to Zhao Yaning's excellent performance in the game. He has shocked me more than once. This time, I am also looking forward to it."

"But in the last game, his performance was obviously not the best." Lineker replied.

"Yes, Chelsea's defense in the last game was very thorough. They relied on the cooperation of Essien, Ballack and Mikel to prevent Zhao Yaning from holding the ball and breaking through. Moreover, they also relied on the three men's team. The cooperative position compressed Zhao Yaning's interspersed running space. This approach enabled Zhao Yaning to play the worst match since the Champions League knockouts." Alan Hansen did not object to the time, "It was quite exciting. I have to say that I was very surprised to see someone able to defend Zhao Yaning with tactical coordination."

"I'm also surprised... Don't you worry? You are from Liverpool." Lineker asked.

"Of course not." Alan Hansen shook his head. "I believe that Liverpool already has a way to deal with them in this game. We all know that coach Benitez is a master of arrangement for the opponent's formation. , He can’t watch Zhao Yaning continue to deflate. And Zhao Yaning himself is also a very smart player. When being targeted, he knows how to change his way of playing to get a chance. He didn’t score a goal in the last game, and the media was right. He has been verbal and penalized. I don’t believe that he will still be very deadly defended. He is the kind of player who will continue to improve. He was prevented from dead in the last game. In this game, he will definitely absorb Lessons, and then find a way out for yourself."

"This is true. Zhao Yaning is indeed a very good and smart player. This is undeniable." Lineker nodded. "But if he can really break free of the encirclement, let us see and talk about it."

At this time, the game has begun, and the lineups of both sides have not changed much from the previous game.

For Chelsea, the rear is still the same, and on the frontcourt, Robben is only allowed to take the place of Shepchenko, and a strange single forward and single winger play on the front line. However, this kind of play is more threatening. After all, with Robben and Drogba in the frontcourt, Chelsea's threat can also be one more point.

"It seems that Chelsea still wants to play a game of the same style. The last time they successfully blocked Liverpool, I don't know if they can succeed this time."

For Liverpool, the backcourt is still unchanged, while in the frontcourt, Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Figo used to serve as midfielders, and Milito played the forward position.

Compared with the previous game, Kuyt did not play, which is the biggest adjustment Liverpool has made.

"In the last game, Kuyt committed a rather low-level stop error that caused Liverpool to lose a ball. That ball was also the only time Liverpool conceded a goal. In this game, Liverpool immediately It was replaced by Figo and Kuyt. Presumably, it has something to do with Kuyt's poor performance." Alan Hansen looked at the substitution and immediately made a judgment.

"Not at all," Lineker said.

"what is your viewpoint?"

"Kuyt's tactical role, that is, counter-robbing, running involves these two. His passing ability, shooting ability, breakthrough ability are not up to the requirements. And in the face of Chelsea, Liverpool's control The ball rate is much higher than that of their opponents. They don’t need too much counter-grabbing. Chelsea’s dense defense cannot be torn apart by simple running. Therefore, if Liverpool send Kuyt again, it will be tactical. Not big. In contrast, although Figo has played a lot less this season, his skills and consciousness are still there after all. Liverpool does not need him as a flash point, but only needs him as an excellent In terms of adaptation, he is better than Kuyt. After all, he makes fewer mistakes and should play better."

"You mean that Figo is more suitable for this game, that is to say, this game, Liverpool has been concentrated on the arrangement?"

"It must be so. The only thing that puzzles me is that, as we all know, dense defense is a very difficult defensive system. If it can capture Chelsea under dense defense? This question, I am afraid it is not easy. "

Even Zhao Yaning’s superhuman breakthrough ability will be deflated when Chelsea can’t defend. This way of playing, Liverpool was unable to do anything in the last game, but in this one, how can Liverpool be able to break through? The opponent's defense? This is also what everyone is curious about.

"The game has started. It seems that Liverpool played really differently from the last game."

As soon as the game started, Liverpool's offensive began immediately. Chelsea didn't even have a symbolic fight, and immediately retreated to the third defensive zone of his own. The decisiveness of its shrinking is indeed the perfection that has been practiced.

However, Liverpool’s attack did not stop. Zhao Yaning immediately launched a breakthrough on the left. After Essien came over, he immediately gave the ball to Alonso behind him. Alonso did not wait for Lampard to come over. It is a long pass directly, and the ball is long passed into the penalty area!

"Milito!! Did not grab a point. Less than a minute after the opening, Liverpool had already attempted an attack, but Cech attacked very decisively and in a timely manner and intercepted the ball. But Liverpool's offensive was immediately up again. Now, they play very fast. At such a fast pace, they use a veteran like Figo. Do they really want to exhaust the old Figo?"

As soon as Liverpool came up, they kicked the rhythm of the game to the fastest pace. Receiving, delivering, passing, they hardly stopped the ball at any moment. Although most of these passes are done near the midfield and did not pose too much threat, because the pace of the game is so fast, the emotions of the surrounding fans are extremely high.

"I understand some of Liverpool's thinking: they want to rely on a faster pace of the game to create more opportunities and more mistakes. Liverpool is the dominant side, they are not afraid of mistakes, and Chelsea are It is the besieged party~www.ltnovel.com~ If they make mistakes, the trouble will be big."

The faster the pace of the game, the easier it is to make mistakes when playing. And the faster the pace of the game, the more likely both sides will make mistakes. Compared to Chelsea under siege, Liverpool's situation is better, and speeding up the pace is helpful for them.

And this is not the key. Lineker understood a bit: to speed up the pace, the three people constantly interspersed in the frontcourt, and with Alonso's long shots and long passes, their attacks would become three-dimensional. And more importantly, if the number of interspersed running positions and passes increases, in order to prevent the back line from being completely disrupted by Liverpool, Chelsea’s line of defense must be more stable and not able to make changes at will, and in this case, they will inevitably reduce With the space compression performed on Zhao Yaning, Zhao Yaning is more likely to make changes to the battle situation.

Benitez is still betting on Zhao Yaning's performance, and this intention is extremely obvious. But what if Chelsea knew it? If they had enough ways to deal with Zhao Yaning, they wouldn't have played so awkwardly.

Zhao Yaning is an unparalleled sword, and now, with the right tactics, the sword is out of its sheath.

"It seems that Zhao Yaning is indeed likely to perform well in this game."
