Chapter 727: Streak

Liverpool's results at Anfield have always been trustworthy.
If it is said that Liverpool still has the possibility of overturning in the away game, then when playing at home, Liverpool can completely take up a focused game attitude and directly defeat the opponent without any power.
Even if it is as strong as the current Premier League ranking third in points, Tottenham was cleanly kicked 3-0 by Liverpool in the recent contest with Liverpool at Anfield. In the score, you can see the difference between the two teams. gap.
Although he was beaten away by Southampton in the away game before, but so far, in this strong matchup with Tottenham, they have played a complete victory. It can be regarded as Liverpool proving to the fans that the previous defeat was only one. Unexpectedly, the team will continue to pursue the honor of three consecutive Premier League titles this season.
For Liverpool, the league has progressed to this point, and if you want to recover the points gap between yourself and Leicester City, you can't lose even one more point.
If Liverpool want to really put pressure on Leicester City in the league, they need to be able to win the game as much as possible, and use their better record to make Leicester City feel The pressure from the rear leads to mistakes.
For Leicester City, they still have the initiative to compete for the title.
As long as Leicester City can play all the games and win, then Liverpool's subsequent winning streak is meaningless.
After the two teams have played against each other directly, the championship this season will be the next few rounds of the league competition between the two teams.
Especially Liverpool, can only hope that other teams can help themselves and block Leicester City.
However, in the first 33rd round of the Premier League, Leicester City took the lead in an away challenge to "Black Cat" Sunderland.
In the away game, Leicester City faced the relegation madman Sunderland. It was originally a game where Liverpool believed that Leicester City had a chance to lose points.
After all, in the last few rounds of the Premier League, the fighting power of relegated teams is sometimes comparable to that of competing teams, especially when they are at home.
It’s just that Sunderland, who struggled to the bottom third, with 6 rounds left in the league and only 4 points away from Norwich, the bottom fourth. Although he wanted to win the game, he took three points to further narrow the points gap. .
But Leicester City, but also want to continue to win the game to maintain their championship situation.
You know, in the case of Liverpool's two games less, Leicester City currently leads by more than 10 points.
If this game can be won, the 13-point advantage is likely to cause greater psychological pressure on Liverpool players.
If Liverpool players can make their own mistakes, then for Leicester City, the probability of winning early will be greater.
At the bottom of the first battle, Leicester City, who was very eager for the Premier League champion, did not care about Sunderland’s relegation battle in the game, but went all out to attack, score goals, and win the game. .
In the end, Vardy and Mahrez, the two core offensive points of Leicester City, scored a goal each, helping Leicester City 2-0 and won the away game.
It can also be considered to transfer the scoring pressure to Liverpool who played after this round.
3 games short, 13 points behind.
Even if they win all three games, for Liverpool, it is only 9 points, which is 4 points away.
You know, in the schedule after Liverpool, Stoke City is the top ten team in this round, and the opponents in the two make-up matches, one is Everton and the other is Chelsea, are also not easy to win.
Simply looking at the schedule and the gap in points, in fact, many media have believed that it is only a matter of time before Leicester City won the league championship this season.
As long as Liverpool have not won all of the matches in a few strong matches, they are pushing Leicester City on the way to the championship.
In this round of the game, the schedule is for Liverpool, which played on Sunday. At Anfield Stadium at home, the opponent they faced is also the top ten and now ninth Stoke City.
The overall performance of the Stoke City team this season is quite good.
Both offensive and defensive are excellent, especially on the offensive end. Bojan and Shaqiri’s offensive combination has played its own threatening offensive in the Premier League.
In this game, for Liverpool, in the game, in addition to doing its own offense, it also needs to do well on the defensive end. In fact, how to limit the offense of Shaqiri and Bojan in the game.
For Stoke City, under the current league situation, Stoke City is more of a "performance show" in the game to let the players play their worth, increase their worth, and become the summer transfer market. Put the players on the shelf in preparation.
Liverpool used a 442 lineup today. Sturridge and Firmino, who returned from injury, partnered with the two forwards in the frontcourt.
Coutinho, Lallana, Milner and Henderson are the team's four midfielders.
As a backcourt player, Klopp sent a combination of Yang Feng and Lovren today. It is true that Skrtel has some instability recently. After a long period of daily training, Yang Feng and Lovren have formed a certain Tacit understanding of the game.
The two full-backs and Minholet in the goalkeeper position have not changed in any way. Such a starting lineup can be regarded as the absolute main lineup of Liverpool.
Liverpool at home, as always, at Anfield Stadium, in addition to strong offensive suppression.
Today, Liverpool's luck on the court is pretty good.
For a team at the level of Liverpool, in the Premier League, there are only a few teams that can compete with Liverpool, especially at Anfield Stadium.
Even though Stoke is ranked in the top ten of the standings this season, ranking 9th in the league.
But for Liverpool, it is still possible to get the pressure on the offensive end of the game at home.
In this repressive offense, in fact, while gaining a huge offensive advantage, it also gives the opponent a chance to counterattack.
Therefore, for Liverpool, being able to break the deadlock in the game earlier is very important for smoothly winning the game.
In other words, for Liverpool, in this game, for them, the sooner they can score the game's goals and gain the lead, the subsequent games will be more comfortable.
Today, in the first 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool successfully broke the deadlock.
In such a fierce game rhythm, for Liverpool, after scoring the first goal, in fact, there is a considerable basis for the score afterwards, and the game can be completely controlled in its own rhythm.
In the 7 and a half minutes of the game, Liverpool's repressive frontcourt continued to play out.
In the last game, Liverpool still had some restraint on the offensive end when facing Tottenham.
Facing opponents like Stoke City, or in their own Anfield Stadium, Liverpool’s offense was all over from the beginning, firmly controlling the ball within the opponent’s half, and developing oppressive attack.
The insertion of the two full-backs also gave Liverpool more room for change in the attack.
This time in the attack.
Because of Coutinho's edge, the left back Moreno came in and came close to the center.
Coutinho's breakthrough on the left, 1v1 confrontation, has a great advantage.
After Coutinho used the emergency stop to shake off the defender, he saw a few Liverpool players in the penalty area who were rushing to grab points. The defense of the Stoke players all returned to the penalty area. In the situation inside, he was not in a good offensive position, so he did not force a cross.
Coutinho directly returned the ball and found Moreno who had an open opportunity before the ball was in the penalty area.
This time Stoke City's defensive account, in fact, there are many problems.
In other words, Stoke's defense is too targeted.
Within the penalty area, Liverpool's point of contact was very restricted.
Outside the restricted area, Henderson, who has long-range shooting capabilities, was also watched.
But for Moreno who received the ball outside the penalty area, no one came to defend in the first time.
Even when Moreno stopped the ball, made the ball, and shot the goal, Stoke City's defensive players had not saved yet and completed the defense.
Under such circumstances, Moreno naturally bends the bow and shoots an arrow near the big penalty zone line and shoots a long shot.
This long shot, Moreno's shot, some of them were drawn on the outside instep.
On the trajectory of the ball, there is a rather strange rotation route.
This sudden change in flight trajectory made Stoke’s goalkeeper unable to react. Although he forced a change of direction and barely touched the football, under Moreno’s strong volley, the trajectory of the ball did not change much. , In the end, flew directly into the goal.
1-0, Moreno's wonderful long-range shot directly helped Liverpool break the deadlock on the court.
The next game will be much simpler.
After Liverpool have gained the advantage on the field, they can fight back their best defense.
There is no need to rush to attack.
And the players can also play their strongest strength in the game without too much psychological burden.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Coutinho showed his outstanding personal technical ability on the left.
When facing the defensive player in front of him in 1v1, Coutinho suddenly chose to play a ball and kick the ball from the defensive player’s wicket into the penalty area during the breakthrough process. Go around into the restricted area from the other side.
This stunned four-seater man scored the ball, fully demonstrating Coutinho's outstanding personal ability and the big heart that dares to make moves in the game.
After the ball was scored successfully and the defensive player was caught off guard, Coutinho went directly into the penalty area and took advantage of the other defensive players to complete a short pass from the flank and directly to the goal. Point after the goal.
Since Coutinho entered the penalty area from the left, the visiting team’s goalkeeper would naturally come to block the close-corner position first, which made Coutinho’s pass in this situation. Down, so that the away team goalkeeper, there will be no good way to rush to the back point, but only depends on the defensive players.
Coutinho's pass and Sturridge's ghostly move were one of Liverpool's weapons in the game last season.
This time, the two people successfully completed the connection again.
At the back point, Sturridge directly pressed the defensive player, shook his head and smashed the ball into the goal from the back point, but the away team goalkeeper rushed to the middle of the goal.
2 to 0!
At the end of the first half, Liverpool once again achieved a two-goal lead.
However, since the first two rounds of Southampton's reversal happened, for Liverpool, they will not relax their spirits with a two-goal lead.
Instead, try to determine more of the lead and leave enough room for yourself to "make mistakes."
At the beginning of the second half of the game, Firmino's goal will be the final conclusion of the game.
In the 50th minute of the game, Milner sent a pass to the front and back points of the goal with his left foot on the right.
Firmino quickly jumped in from behind, greeted the pass, and came to the top of the mountain.
Smash the ball directly into the goal.
After two games in the truce, Firmino scored in his return and maintained his excellent offensive state as always.
And Liverpool, also achieved a 3-0 lead early, which is considered to have completely sealed the victory.
After 3-0, Liverpool obviously started to have some recovery in the game.
Even though the visiting team Stoke City, began to make a difference on the offensive end, but Liverpool's defense has done quite well, and there are no major defensive problems.
This also makes it possible for Liverpool to kill time by controlling the ball during most of the game after the second half.
For the visiting team, Stoke City’s offense is mainly to limit their wing attack~EbookFREE.me~Shaqiri, and Bojan, the two strong offensive points of Stoke City, are the focus of Liverpool. Mark.
In particular, it limits Shaqiri's play on the wing, which can be said to limit Stoke's offense by most.
As a powerful player, Shaqili, although not tall, has excellent confrontation ability and a very fast speed. After leaving Bayern, he also got the core position he wanted. In Stoke this season Among the city teams, as well as in the Premier League, they performed very well.
Without Shaqiri's tandem, Stoke City would not have played very well under such circumstances, and could only play some offenses at will in the game.
In the last 30 minutes of the game, the two teams were almost always "grinding foreign workers", instead of playing too effective offense or defense.
In the final score of 3-0, Liverpool won another three-goal victory at home, and is also using its own winning streak to maintain the pursuit of the top Leicester City.
