Chapter 96 I Won't Let You Tackle the Ball Again

Liverpool's pass control is based on the counterattack and the rapid advancement of the midfield, which directly threatens the opponent's goal to the greatest extent.

The offensive series in the frontcourt is done by Coutinho.

In order to interfere with his threatening dribbling at the front of the penalty area, Harry Arter must be close to him.

Harry, who came off the bench in the second half, was physically fit. As long as Coutinho came to the front of the penalty area, he would be closely marked by him.

Eddie Howe gave him the order to defend Coutinho at all costs and leave everything else alone.

Since his introduction, Coutinho has not had the ease up front as he did in the first half.

And when the game time came to 65 minutes, the physical fitness of the players on both sides began to decline, let alone Coutinho, who had been using dribbling to get rid of the defense.

At this time, it is not wise to fight recklessly. Pass the ball back first, take a breath and reorganize the attack.

When the ball returned to the Liverpool half, Eddie Howe waved his hands and urged the team to press quickly.

The opponent's technology and ability are many times stronger than their own. If they are given a chance to breathe, they will slowly control the rhythm and take the initiative.

The Bournemouth team cannot let this happen, they must take the rhythm firmly into their own hands.

Rossi rushed up immediately, unable to let Gerrard slowly sort out the pass in the backcourt.

As he got older, Gerald's B2B round-trip and assault capabilities gradually declined.

Seeing the black-haired boy who knocked him to the ground just now, he felt unwilling but helpless.

If I were a few years younger, I might not know who it was that fell to the ground just now.

Along with Rossi, there were Ryan Fraser and Wilson.

Their task is to press the two central defenders around Gerrard, forcing the ball to return to the goalkeeper or send the ball to the frontcourt.

After observing, Gerrard ran to the unguarded area and received the pass while passing back to the goalkeeper.

Without saying a word, Rossi ran directly between their passing lines, and then slowly moved closer to Gerrard.

Liverpool goalkeeper Jones didn't have a good point to get the ball out, so he took the ball forward by himself.

After saying hello to Ryan Fraser, Rossi went straight to the goalkeeper and asked his teammates to help him defend Gerrard.

After Frazier moved, Liverpool center back Skrtel had space to get the ball, and the goalkeeper quickly passed the ball.

At this point, Rossi turned and pounced on Skrtel and blocked his return pass to the goalkeeper. Ryan Fraser also double-teamed him at almost the same time.

Although blocking the passing line on the ground, Skrtel can pass the ball to his teammates by raising the ball high.

Once the ball was passed away, Rossi pounced in the direction of receiving the ball.

In short, it is impossible to let the opponent pass the ball easily.

[The Bournemouth team is very aggressive in the frontcourt. They don't give Liverpool time to calmly organize. After the players get the ball, they must immediately distribute the ball, otherwise it will be very dangerous. 】

[However, this kind of fighting consumes a lot of energy. 】

As the commentator said, this is how the Bournemouth team steals the rhythm.

Under the pressure of the frontcourt players like "mad dogs", the Liverpool goalkeeper, in order to ensure the safety of the defense, received a pass from his teammate and directly sent the ball to the opponent's half.

Lucas took off to compete for the top, and the ball was pushed by Gosling to Rich from behind him, and he was brought down.

drop!
The referee blew Gosling's back-to-top foul, which aroused dissatisfaction and protests from the home team players.

In order to compete for the ball, the Bournemouth team did their best, and every opportunity was very precious.

After Liverpool kick-off, Bournemouth started their pressing again.

What's going on, is the energy of these people infinite?
In the case of being behind by three goals, there can still be such an aggressive press.

In the 74th minute, Rogers replaced Coutinho with Emre Can to strengthen the defense.

At the same time, it also allows players to rest.

After all, there is still a league match with Arsenal on the weekend. The overall situation of this game has been decided, and the main players must save their energy.

Emre's playing not only strengthens Liverpool's midfield pass control, but his speed and dribbling can also impact Bournemouth's defense.

In the 78th minute, Wilson's press did not follow up in time, allowing Gerrard to take the ball from the backcourt and pass it to the left rib area on the weak side.

Emre used a fake move to break into the penalty area from the left side of Gosling. Facing Elphick's defense, after continuously changing direction and smashing the ball, he pulled out the shooting space and volleyed towards the near corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Boruc's concentration was high, he flew across and saved the ball from the bottom line.

This shot made the home fans exclaim.

You can't lose the ball anymore, if you lose the ball again, you will be bloodbathed.

Lucas took a tactical corner kick, from which we knew that Liverpool wanted to firmly control the rhythm of the game.

No matter how much you can run, you can persist for 90 minutes without letting up at all?
Now it is all hanging in one breath, as long as one more goal is scored, the Bournemouth team will definitely collapse.

In the 80th minute, Bournemouth's high-pressure press continued, but compared with before, it had weakened significantly.

The player's legs began to grow heavy and his breathing became irregular.

Liverpool took advantage of the opponent's gap and launched a surprise attack. Lallana made a pass from the wing to Sterling, who was outflanking.

The latter's shot was interfered by Cook, but he didn't get the right part, and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Boruc strode out holding the ball and sent the ball across the half with his feet.

Although Wilson leaned against Henderson with his body, there were small movements in both hands, and he could not guarantee to stop the ball steadily.

In desperation, Wilson pushed the ball to Ricky with his chest, and the huge impact almost made him breathless.

Ricky looked up and saw that Rossi had moved between Gerrard and Sakho, which was an excellent position.

He didn't stop the ball and sent an over-the-head ball directly.

At the moment of passing the ball, Rossi started quickly and came to the front of the penalty area in an instant, ready to stop the ball and shoot.

The instep unloaded the ball perfectly, leading the ball a small step forward, allowing him to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot.

But suddenly a figure flashed in front of him, and he smashed them down with the ball.

After Rossi fell to the ground, no whistle was heard, only the boos of the home fans.

There was no foul on this tackle and it was very clean.

A big hand stretched out in front of Rossi's eyes. He looked up, and it was none other than Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard who uprooted him.

"If you want to shoot, you are still a little tender."

Gerald, whose chest was heaving violently, did not mean to be provocative, but just out of respect for Rossi.

Tenacious, too tenacious!
In the second half, the Bournemouth team used their running ability to expand the defensive area, forcing them to be physically overwhelmed in the second half.

And the intensity of the game is almost at the same level as the league, and even comparable to the mid-upstream teams.

If it weren't for the scoreboard to remind them of the three-goal lead at all times, there would always be a feeling of being overturned at any time.

"Next time, I won't let you tackle the ball."

Gerrard pulled him up and said with a smile: "Don't talk big, look, the game is almost over."
