Chapter 523 Terrible!Got it! [The fourth update of vomiting blood, ask for a monthly subscription]

The entire Anfield has completely turned into a raging sea.

The stadium is like a small boat floating in the ocean with the waves rising and falling.

……

At the beginning of the game, Roma's players launched a crazy attack on Liverpool and frequently created murderous intentions.

Goalkeeper Reina became the busiest player on the back line.

But with Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and Gerrard sitting at the front of the penalty area, Roma can only impose threats through long-range shots. Although Liverpool's defense and Reina have made no mistakes, they still give people a feeling of precarity.

Especially when Roma launched an attack from the left, Mancini hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Reina quickly abandoned the goal and took the ball out of the air before Vucinic, which made everyone break out in a cold sweat.

After that, Reina didn't have any extra time to think, and directly kicked the ball forward with a big foot.

He wanted to pass directly to the left to find Yang Yang, but at this time, Yang Yang was still in his own half and couldn't catch up at all.

The ball went straight out of bounds and turned into a foul for Rome.

This is a mistake by Liverpool!
Reina made a mistake in his busy schedule. Although it did not cause losses, it also caused the team to lose the ball.

The Spanish goalkeeper raised his left hand high in apology to all his teammates.

Gerrard clapped his hands vigorously, encouraging his teammates not to be discouraged, as long as they survive this period of time, the team will be stable!
Everyone in Liverpool is also psychologically prepared for this situation. Benitez said before the game that Roma is likely to attack.

And this period of time may be 10 minutes, or 15 minutes, or even if it is longer, it may be 10 minutes.

The tactics of Italian coaches are very changeable, who can guess their minds?
…………

…………

Spalletti has been on the sidelines since the start.

When the bald man in Italy saw Reina kicking the ball out of bounds, he couldn't help applauding vigorously and shouted hello.

"Great! That's it, keep putting pressure on them!"

After Spalletti shouted, he turned around and walked to the visiting team's coaching bench.

The opening attack, this is his game strategy, the purpose is to disrupt Liverpool's rhythm.

Anfield Stadium is the most terrifying devil's home stadium in European football so far this season, and it has never been broken.

The slogan that Rome shouted was victory, but in fact, what Spalletti wanted was a draw.

As long as the tie can be maintained, there is a chance of winning at home.

This is the first time Roma has entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the past 23 years, but Spalletti wants to go one step further.

……

"Benitez obviously also guessed that we will rush to attack, so even if they are playing at home, they still have a relatively stable start."

Assistant coach Domenicini held a small notebook full of various notes and said to Spalletti.

"The central midfield controlled by Xavi Alonso, Mascherano and Gerrard is still quite good. This set of midfield will definitely not lose to AC Milan, and it can be called the top in Europe."

Spalletti kept nodding. He also observed that Liverpool's midfield is very stable and solid.

"Then you can only go to the side, and then turn from the side to the center." Spalletti said.

"That's right." Domenichini agreed.

"Paul!" Spalletti looked at another assistant next to him, "It's almost 10 minutes, do you think we can continue?"

Paul Beltri is the physical coach of Roma. In the past two years, Roma has been able to play well and has frequently performed brilliantly in Serie A, which is inseparable from his physical training.

He and Domenicini are Spalletti's most trusted right-hand men.

"I think at least I can last for another 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes." Beltrie said.

Liverpool is in a similar situation to Roma, both teams had a tough matchup three days ago.

The Red Army played against Arsenal at home, while Roma played against AC Milan at home, but the difference is that the Red Army won the Gunners at home and achieved a big victory, but the Red Wolves drew with AC Milan one to one.

Spalletti nodded and turned around, continuing to look at the court.

Among the targeted tactics he arranged before the game, the two most threatening players for Liverpool were Crouch and Yang Yang.

One of these two players is a center forward, with a height of more than two meters. This is definitely a terrifying height. Spalletti really wonders why this guy doesn't play basketball instead of football?

What's even more frightening is that Crouch is still very flexible, his skills are quite good, and his tactical role in the frontcourt is becoming more and more obvious, especially his cooperation with Yang Yang and Dirk.

Not to mention Yang Yang, currently Liverpool's most threatening attacker and the most terrifying killer who has emerged in European football in the past two years, has outstanding personal abilities and is very comprehensive.

Although Spalletti said before the game that he would not deploy targeted defensive tactics against Yang Yang, in fact, everyone knows, how is this possible?

If you don't guard Yang Yang, how can you guard Liverpool's attack?

Right back Cassetti, right center back Mex, and right midfielder De Rossi, these three players are the weapons Spalletti used to limit Yang Yang, and judging from the beginning of the game, all three of them did a good job and did not give Yang Yang a chance.

"Continue to play like this, we can take away at least one point!" Spalletti said confidently.

…………

…………

Being suppressed in the half court, Liverpool looked a little embarrassed.

Yang Yang also had to return to the half court to respond, and even help his teammates defend.

During a defense, the Swedish winger Williamsson dribbled the ball and was intercepted. Yang Yang quickly caught up with the ball, avoided Williamsson's counter-grab, and took the ball horizontally to the middle.

De Rossi was very close, and immediately leaned over to defend.

In the past two or three years, Yang Yang has been training in the whack-a-mole game in the super training ground. The purpose is to imitate the sudden appearance of defenders on the court. Therefore, when he saw De Rossi approaching, he took advantage of the trend and led him to the middle, and forcibly got rid of De Rossi.

After throwing away the two defenders, Yang Yang suddenly changed direction and dribbled the ball towards the goal.

But at this time, Pizarro, another Roma midfielder, Mex on the center back, and De Rossi, who had just been thrown away by him, quickly surrounded him and surrounded him in the middle.

This made Yang Yang feel like he was being caught by the urn, but he still quickly found a way out of the ball and immediately passed the ball back to the left. Unfortunately, Crouch didn't understand his intention and pulled the ball to the side in time.

Cassetti quickly returned to defense and cleared the ball directly.

Although Liverpool's attack failed to create a threat this time, Yang Yang's continuous breakthrough with the ball won a burst of applause from the stands. Liverpool fans were obviously very satisfied with his performance.

……

The continuous acceleration of dribbling breakthroughs and changing directions made Yang Yang a little breathless.

When walking back, I was somewhat depressed.

He knew that he was being marked by the Roman team.

The defense of the Italian team is really a headache, especially similar to this kind of targeted defense.

After he got rid of Williamsson just now, De Rossi's attack was very timely. If he was a second slower, Yang Yang would have been able to change his direction, instead of cutting inward horizontally, he would have gone straight forward diagonally.

Horizontal and oblique insertion are two completely different effects.

At the very least, Yang Yang has to change direction and go straight after going horizontally.

I have to say that Rome's defense is really meticulous.

Yang Yang turned his head and glanced at the bald head in front of the visiting coach's bench.

Spalletti looked in a good mood, grinning obscenely as he watched his team defuse a Liverpool attack.

He should be working for his targeted defensive tactics, right?Yang Yang thought to himself.

Yang Yang can feel that Roma's defensive focus has always been on himself and Crouch, and they have been relatively successful, which directly led to Liverpool's passivity after the opening.

How to do?
If you continue to play like this, if the Roman team really scores first, then Liverpool will be passive.

We must find a way to break through their defense!

Yang Yang searched hard for an opportunity.

Soon, Roma once again launched a wave of offensive against Liverpool. Totti shot a very threatening long shot, which slightly touched the post and went out of the baseline, which shocked everyone in Anfield.

The ball almost went in!
Yang Yang also got a chance soon.

This time, he suddenly appeared on the left side of the midfield to catch the ball, quickly dribbled the ball forward, grabbed the ball before De Rossi, and sent the ball accurately to Crouch's feet with a through ball.

However, when the England Gao guy hit the goal with his kick, he was interfered by Mex and Qiwu, so he failed to hit the right position and kicked the ball directly, which was a bit outrageous.

Crouch was also very depressed because he was flanked by two players.

……

Yang Yang soon saw Gerald.

Liverpool's captain retreated a bit after the start, which led to the team's central position, and there was no one on the counterattack. If Gerrard or Harvey Alonso can quickly advance forward, with their long-range shooting ability...

Thinking of this, Yang Yang did not forget to wink at Gerrard when he ran back to his own half.

The two have been working together for more than half a year. Yang Yang often passes the ball to Gerrard, and Gerrard often assists Yang Yang. They both have a tacit understanding with each other. When Yang Yang winks, Gerrard guesses the intention, hesitates, and nods.

Afterwards, Yang Yang made another gesture with Crouch.

……

Spalletti's team did a good job overall offensively and defensively, very efficient and very fast.

It can be inserted quickly when attacking, and can retreat quickly when defending.

Tonight, Williamson's ability to occupy the starting position is related to his ability to return to his position as soon as he loses the ball.

When Liverpool stole the ball again and played a counterattack, when Yang Yang received the ball from the left, the Swedish wide player was already in front of him, and then there was Cassetti.

Just by taking a look, Yang Yang could guess that he could break through the right defense of these two players by himself, not to mention that there was De Rossi who was watching covetously beside him.

But this time, what Yang Yang wanted was to attract attention.

Therefore, after he received the ball, he quickly started, dribbling the ball directly to Williamson, forcing Rome's defense to retreat again and again.

When he retreated to the 30-meter zone, Yang Yang suddenly swung a pendulum, but he didn't go past anyone. Instead, he shot a feint and changed direction to dribble the ball inward.

De Rossi rushed up quickly, but Yang Yang was faster, pushed the ball with his right foot and sent the ball to the middle.

A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through the mind of the Italian midfielder.
