football career from scratch

"Manchester City has lost the last hope of overtaking Liverpool. Although they still have a chance, it has to be said that the next schedule will be more beneficial to Liverpool, but they will be at a disadvantage against Manchester City."

The Times Sports Edition commented after this round of the league-although the media in England are somewhat unreliable, and it is common to have red tops and whites, but as one of the most authoritative newspapers, the Times Sports Edition’s comments are often It has something to say.

There are many reasons for them to say this. For example, Liverpool's current performance is indeed very good, and the schedule is indeed beneficial to them-next weekend, Liverpool will play against Manchester City at home. It will lead Manchester City by eight points with four rounds left, which will be an extremely huge advantage.

Eight points means that as long as Liverpool score four points in the next four rounds, they can rely on the advantage of goal difference to win-now their goal difference is [-] points ahead of Manchester City. A lot has been scored, but it is also very difficult to surpass so many goal difference in these rounds.

Both sides will play the Champions League in the middle of the week. Liverpool will face Zenit at home, while Manchester City will also face Barcelona at home. Both sides have certain advantages in the first round, but Liverpool's advantage is real. A goal of victory, and Manchester City's advantage is the relatively illusory two away goals...

Zenit is far from being able to compare with Barcelona, ​​and the pressure on Manchester City in the middle of the week will also be greater.

In this way, Liverpool can completely adjust their state better, complete their efforts in one battle, defeat Manchester City at home, and win an all-round victory!
This is not a guess, but they can indeed do this-just the fans can imagine that Liverpool rested some of the main players in this game, as long as they don't lose two goals at home, they can enter the Champions League semi-finals, and Manchester City must fight desperately at home against Barcelona, ​​who is forced to die. Want to retain the physical fitness of the main force?Do not make jokes!
Then on the weekend, the rejuvenated Liverpool beat Manchester City at home, leading by eight points. The league is basically settled, and then they can concentrate on the Champions League and FA Cup games.

All this seems to be so logical.

Although many people hope that Liverpool will lose the chain, after all, there is no such thing as a logical thing on the football field, otherwise the football will not be round-but anyway, Liverpool can completely follow this approach.

That's what Klopp did.

"We have 26 players, no player is unimportant. In a game, I can only have eleven players, I can only have three rotation substitutes, and I can only bring eighteen players into the squad. But in the whole In the league, the strength of each player is very important, and I have never denied this."

Klopp said to all the players in the team that the players nodded one after another. Klopp did not rotate much this season, but it is true that basically all players have the opportunity to play. In addition, Liverpool is in a good situation now. They all have great fighting spirit, so naturally they won't have any opinions on this.

After Zenit arrived at Liverpool, Klopp announced the starting lineup for the next game.

Goalkeeper Lyle, right back Mir, left back Barr, center backs Keane and Haiya partnered, midfielder Yu Yingrui and Igor were behind, and the top three players were Bu Qingyun, Sarah and Kortic. Sudden striker Kyrgyzstan.

This is a lineup with mostly substitutes, but these substitutes are basically half main force and half substitute. When they play, Liverpool's overall performance will be weakened, but it is not too bad.

Stabilize the midfield, continue to attack, and give Bu Qingyun more space to create opportunities. This is Liverpool's tactics in this game.

Logically speaking, with a two-goal lead and a home game, Liverpool is good at playing defensively and counterattacks. Aubame is an excellent counterattacker. Liverpool also has players with excellent long passes in the midfield. However, Klopp But he didn't do this, but chose to let Liverpool's offense play out better.

With Kyrgyzstan and Sarah, Liverpool's offense can be simpler, but more threatening.

The same is true.

Zenit came to Liverpool with the mood of saving face. They knew that they had little hope of advancing, but they didn't want to lose face. If Liverpool adopted defensive counterattack tactics, they might press the attack , Striving for a goal-under such circumstances, even if Liverpool can win, I am afraid that they will be dragged down.

So Liverpool chose to take the initiative and consume each other in the midfield - this seems to consume more energy, but in fact the rhythm of the entire game is under Liverpool's control, even if such a game consumes more energy, but There will be no overdraft mentally.

No matter how much physical energy is consumed, it will be recovered after a good day of rest. On the contrary, it is even more difficult to recover from mental overdraft.

Regarding this point, Klopp is very clear in his heart. Physical fatigue is nothing to professional players, but mental overdraft. It is really difficult to recover. If you rest too well, you may lose your state, no If you rest, you don't know when it will collapse.

For a long season, this is very important.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool started to entangle with Zenit in the midfield. With this starting lineup, the control ability of the midfield was weakened. However, after Bu Qingyun gained enough space, he was able to play more freely. !
Kortic's defensive ability is actually not bad. His position in the game is relatively late, and he is responsible for protecting Bu Qingyun's ball and organization, while the wing attack is handed over to the two full backs.

The reason why Mill became a substitute is because he is worse than Robert in defense, but his offense is not bad at all. With someone helping to fill the position, his offensive ability can be played very well. Barr Although he is getting older, it is still possible to concentrate on playing one or two important games when there are few games played.

Ever since, under the impact of a stunned young man and an old guy, Zenit's winger could not support it even earlier when the midfielder could barely support it.

Although Barr and Mill's offensive methods are relatively simple, they can only pass from the bottom, but they can't stand the presence of a fully mature center like Kyrgyzstan in the penalty area-although Kyrgyzsia is not a particularly top-level center forward, Zenit is not particularly top-notch either. Defender...

His height and ability to grab points have brought a lot of trouble to Zenit's defense. If it weren't for his ability to waste opportunities as always, Liverpool might have scored a goal after the opening. .

After finally stabilizing their position, Zenit began to prepare to launch a counterattack. However, in the middle, they faced the interception of three midfielders with good defensive capabilities. It is also difficult to create good opportunities.

Under such circumstances, Liverpool began to gradually occupy the advantage on the field, pushing forward bit by bit-this is an advantage based on its strong strength. The substitutes of the national football team are definitely not inferior to Zenit's main players in terms of strength, and even have a slight advantage.

What's more, Zenit has no players who can effectively control Bu Qingyun-this makes them very passive in defense. Every time Bu Qingyun takes the ball, they are forced to use two to three people to defend, which gives Liverpool More opportunities for other players.

Kyrgyzstan is okay, just running back and forth inside and outside the penalty area to respond. He is very useful in tactics and direct attack, but he will not make Zenit's defense feel overwhelmed.

However, Sarah is different. He has fast speed, strong breakthrough ability, and good scoring ability. Every time he gets the ball, there is a huge space for him to sprint-Zenit's midfield defense is concentrated on Bu Qingyun body, then he will naturally be able to gain more space!

After a player with excellent technical speed has enough space on the court, his lethality can be described as amazing. However, he played relatively few games and had no physical problems. All of a sudden, Sarah became The brightest player on the field.

Neither side scored a goal in the first half, but everyone knew that Liverpool was getting closer to victory.

And 10 minutes after the start of the second half, the Liverpool fans gave out huge cheers!
After Sarah received the ball, he passed a player, and when he was about to break into the penalty area, he was knocked to the ground by the defender who was filling in. The referee's whistle sounded and a free kick was given.

This is a direct free kick 23 meters away from the goal. The angle is slightly to the right. It is suitable for left-footed players to take the penalty, but there is no problem with right-footed players.

Bu Qingyun stood beside the ball, and there was no one around him.

Aliyev murmured in his heart—it's so obvious, is he going to pass the ball to respond?

Compared with Bu Qingyun's shooting, his passing is even more terrifying, and the accuracy rate is too high, especially Liverpool has a few players with excellent ability to grab points in the penalty area.

Aliyev also made a lot of saves in this game. After all, Zenit is still at a disadvantage, and his state has also begun to reach its peak.

however……

When he faces a flawless direct free kick, there is very little, very little he can do.

After the referee blew the whistle to take the penalty, Bu Qingyun ran two steps forward and kicked the ball forcefully.

Impeccable arc, speed, strength and angle are all available, the ball flew over the wall, and then plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

Amidst the huge cheers of the Liverpool fans, Bu Qingyun rushed to the sidelines with open arms-this is his No.11 Champions League goal this season!It was also a goal that allowed Liverpool to successfully enter the Champions League semi-finals!
One to zero, three to zero in two rounds, Liverpool's goals are not particularly high, but they have safely advanced to the semi-finals, which completely shattered Zenit's hope of making an upset!
