Chapter 92 Unorganized Bournemouth

Gerrard's right corner kick was pushed out by Cook, but the ball was still under Liverpool's control.

Except for Rossi, all Bournemouth players returned to the defense.

But the second fight for the top is not Liverpool's advantage. They are near the penalty area and pass the ball patiently.

"Hey Gosling, watch out for their long shots,"

Eddie Howe growled loudly.

Gerrard, who is old, does not have the physical fitness and explosive power to hit the penalty area, but his ground-breaking long-range shots are still at the same level as before.

Gosling, who is also good at long-range shooting, is naturally very familiar with Gerrard's heavy artillery.

If it was Gerrard in his prime, he thought it would be difficult to completely block the captain's shot.

Today's running ability is far inferior to that of Gerrard back then. As long as he does not lose his position, he is confident in defending against the Red Army captain.

Coutinho took the ball on the left rib, facing O'Kane and Wilson's double-team, continuously dribbled the ball to the right laterally, creating a space.

After observing that Coutinho was swaying the defense, raising his leg quickly, and posing for a shot, Gosling hurried to defend.

At the front of the penalty area, Coutinho has the ability to get rid of the defense and score directly, known as the "cloud piercing arrow".

But Coutinho was supposed to shoot a real pass, the moment his right foot touched the ball, he stopped, and then quickly swiped the ball horizontally with the outside of his foot.

Gosling was taken aback, because of his supplementary defense, he naturally ignored the defense at his original position.

There was Gerald.

He looked back and stared directly at Gerrard with his eyes fixed on the front. He adjusted his shooting pace in small steps, opened his right arm, arched his body slightly, and tightened his core.

boom!
The moment the ball was pulled out with the right foot, the foot rose into the air, as if the strength of the whole body was concentrated on the right foot.

The ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal like a cannonball.

This shooting posture brings enough deterrence to the defender, and the power of the ball is also amazing.

Cook, who was defending head-on, subconsciously turned his head to one side while stretching his feet.

Although the goalkeeper Boruc flew across, but the moment Gerrard shot, he knew the ball, he could do nothing.

The fans behind the gate watched the ball's trajectory and stood up nervously.

when!
Fortunately, the ball hit the post and bounced off.

Hey!
After a burst of exclamation, there were bursts of applause in the stadium.

I just don't know whether the applause was given to the home team's desperate defense or to the Red Army captain.

In just 5 minutes, Liverpool launched two extremely threatening attacks, and the goal was really close at hand.

Eddie Howe hurriedly pressed his hands down to let the players stabilize their mentality and play according to the pre-match deployment.

But Liverpool will not give their opponents an easy chance to get the ball. Their high pressure is more aggressive than Bournemouth.

Gerrard still returned to the midfielder position, beside him, Henderson provided him with support and protection.

Liverpool took advantage of the offensive advantage in the frontcourt, led the defense with offense, and pressed Bournemouth's formation near the center circle.

Bournemouth, whose offense cannot move forward, can only do useless conduction near the center circle, even pass through the side, and then pass back to the goalkeeper.

Sterling saw the timing and rushed over single-handedly when the ball was passed back to the goalkeeper.

At the same time, Lallana and Coutinho also stared at the two central defenders.

Under such high pressure, the goalkeeper can only choose to pass the ball to the midfielder.

Under the interference, Ricky barely stopped the ball, and Lucas's personal marking left him no space to get out of the ball.

"here!"

Rossi dropped back to meet him.

Rich seemed to see the savior, and quickly distributed the ball.

When Rossi was facing the ball, he observed the situation around him, and Stanislas, who was going forward, was in the best position.

When he decided to split the ball to the left, Henderson intercepted his passing line from behind.

Huh?
Rossi was slightly taken aback, and could not pass it on here, so he could only return it to Rich and let him make the transition.

But Lucas also appeared in his passing line, and kept an eye on Rich.

In this way, although Rossi was not intercepted by the opponent, the Liverpool players had cut off all his forward passing lines and isolated them.

Wilson on the right is too far away, and there are two defensive players in the middle, so he can't pass it at all.

turn around?

Henderson, who is defending himself, will not hesitate to grab.

After Rossi hesitated to take the ball for a second, he could only be forced to pass back to the midfielder.

Stanislas, who advanced forward, was already in an offside position. Seeing that Rossi did not pass the ball immediately, he stopped immediately and walked back slowly.

Eddie Howe quickly noticed that Liverpool was targeting Rossi's defensive tactics, leaving him with no room to pass the ball after he got the ball, and he would not give him a chance to turn around.

This is to pinch Rossi's shortcomings to death.

Rossi ran forward as a single arrow after passing the ball back.

Gerrard and central defender Skrtel immediately double-teamed him forward and backward.

If the ball is passed from both sides to the back, the misplaced defense of the two can be defended in place immediately.

If it is passed to the foot, the two can double-team Rossi's defense.

Moreover, Lucas will also interfere with Rich's ball to the greatest extent, greatly reducing Bournemouth's offensive options and making defense relatively easy.

Such a rigorous defensive system, a little negligence, there will be fatal loopholes.

It's all based on the player's ability to read the game, which is why Liverpool has become a giant.

boom!
Under pressure step by step by Liverpool, O'Kane was forced to kick the ball from the backcourt and give it to Wilson on the right.

However, his long pass in the backcourt was still lacking in fire, and the drop was too deep. Wilson couldn't catch up and rolled out of the sideline.

[In the past ten minutes, the Bournemouth team played very passively. 】

[Liverpool's pressing forced them to pass the ball and make mistakes. 】

[In the past, the Bournemouth team penetrated and counterattacked in the middle, but today they have no chance at all.Luo was also severely restricted. If he continued to play like this, he would not lose the ball. 】

Liverpool threw the ball and pushed the formation up again, forcing Bournemouth to concentrate their defense outside the penalty area.

Rossi didn't have a chance at the front end, and he didn't participate in the defense. Instead, he kept a close eye on Gerrard and interfered with his organization and scheduling in the backcourt.

Although Gerrard's long pass transfer is a strong point, it is very suitable for the fast-paced Premier League style of play.

But his ability to organize and dispatch is really average.

The most terrible thing is that this Liverpool, apart from Gerrard, no longer has a suitable organizer.

Therefore, Rossi's defense of Gerrard is equivalent to curbing the outlet point of Liverpool's long pass attack launched in the backcourt.

Both sides have made targeted defenses on each other's most important points of delivery.

However, Liverpool's offensive means, not only rely on Gerrard.

In the 20th minute, Coutinho took the ball in the ribs, double-teamed the ball from two defenders, and passed the ball to Henderson who was plugging in.

Although his long-range shots are not as intimidating as Gerrard, if you give him a calm shot near the penalty area, it is very deadly.

Gosling stepped forward to block, but when Henderson met the ball, he was ready to play the ball and tipped the ball gently into the penalty area.

Sterling went forward ghostly and appeared where the ball landed.

Although Cook turned around and chased back in time, Sterling's starting speed was too fast. In a hurry, he had to stretch out his feet first to block the shooting angle as much as possible.

Facing the high ball, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, Sterling pushed the ball forward with his chest, took a step to the side with his left foot, and swung his right foot to shoot.

Although the shooting action is not standardized, but the force is very strong, the position of the ball is very accurate, and it goes straight to the upper corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Boruc stretched out his arms to block, but still failed to prevent the ball from flying into the net.

0:1! ! !

Liverpool used their super possession and organization ability, and Sterling scored the first goal in the away game.

The Bournemouth team, which has lost control of the midfield, will gradually lose victory.
