Chapter 729: Merseyside Derby Rematch

In the second half of a three-game winning streak in an away victory over Bournemouth, Liverpool still had to relax.
Because with the victory locked in, Liverpool need to retain the physical fitness of the main players in the game to prepare for the next game.
Just in the middle of the week after the victory over Bournemouth, Liverpool finally ushered in the first make-up match after two rounds.
In the 27th round of the supplementary league, Liverpool faced Everton's Merseyside derby at home.
In the make-up, facing rivals in the same city, this is why everyone is not optimistic about Liverpool's counterattack to win the championship.
Two rounds less than 10 points behind, and make-up opponents, one is rivals Everton in the same city, the other is Chelsea, although they are both at home, but it is still very difficult to achieve a complete victory.
"Scored the ball?"
"The ball is scored!"
"Oh my God!"
"Mane!"
"In the process of counterattack again, he gave full play to his speed advantage, forced to overtake on the outside line, and Yang Feng had no way to defend his defense, but directly rushed into Liverpool's penalty area and completed a single-handed shot.
"3 to 2!"
"Southampton actually reversed the score at home."
"This is really an amazing game!"
The Liverpool players are a little dazed. Perhaps they never dreamed that Southampton’s sharp counterattack and the attack with such a high success rate would pose such a big threat to themselves in the game.
Liverpool, who led by two goals in the half, was actually beaten away by home team Southampton.
No one thought that after 80 minutes on the field, there would be a sudden change. Southampton scored two goals in 5 minutes and reversed the score at the end of the game.
Liverpool, on the other hand, missed a good game. In the final moments of the game, they had to press it out in an all-round way to strive for a draw.
Only in the last few minutes.
The imposing Southampton is defending his own half. If there is a chance, he will continue to drive the ball to Liverpool's half. With a few minutes of defending, Liverpool’s offensive end is exchanged without any goal. opportunity.
Even if Benteke, Yang Feng, and a few high-point players, in the final time, they were nailed in the penalty area of ​​Southampton to find opportunities, but the wing could not open Southampton’s defense line, making the final Liverpool had no chance to equalize the score.
3 to 2!
Liverpool, desperately in need of league points, was even led by two goals in the away game. Southampton scored three goals in the second half, completing a 3-2 reversal.
It also allowed Liverpool to pursue the top Leicester City situation, further into a disadvantage.
After the game, the atmosphere of the entire Liverpool team was a little dull when returning to the base by car.
Although the loss of this game is quite large because of the many recent games, the players' listening ability declined and they were unable to keep the game in the second half.
However, the two-goal lead in the half was reversed in the end, which is actually a considerable problem.
Head coach Klopp still broke the dullness on the court, did not say too much, just said that the team will take a day off in the next day, so that the players have a process of self-adjustment and recovery.
As far as Klopp is concerned, although he is not satisfied with the team's performance in the second half, he also knows that physical problems cannot be overcome simply by tenacious spirit.
After a defeat that was reversed by three goals, Liverpool began to prepare for the battle and face the subsequent home game against Tottenham.
Tottenham have been ranked third in the standings thanks to their recent outstanding performance.
This young guard led by Pochettino has surpassed the Manchester City duo and the old strong teams Arsenal and Chelsea this season. It seems that there is a high probability that it will remain in the top four at the end of the season. , And then get tickets for the Champions League next season.
This strong matchup is a strong fight between the two coaches Klopp and Pochettino.
It is also a game that Liverpool must win to maintain the pressure on Leicester City's points.
This game has been trimmed for a week. The physical impact and injury impact of the previous two fierce battles with Atletico Madrid have been further weakened.
Most of the injured players before Liverpool were in this game, and they returned to the game in full form.
Except for Firmino, who has not been able to play, everyone else can already play against the powerful enemy Tottenham.
Fortunately for Liverpool's schedule, in the late game, the few strong teams encountered were almost all Liverpool's home courts.
At Anfield, the change of direction actually increased Liverpool’s probability of victory, giving Liverpool greater confidence, and possibly, to fight for the final victory.
In this game, although the absolute attacking core players on the front line, Firmino still has no way to play.
But Sturridge has been in a healthy state during this period, and Klopp's employment and offensive tactics have not yet been so problematic.
Sturridge's personal offensive ability can barely match Liverpool's current offensive tactics.
It's just that his defensive attitude and ability, although not bad, may still be a bit inferior to Firmino.
And in passing ability, there is a certain gap between Sturridge and Firmino.
However, it is not too big an impact.
Facing the Tottenham team, who are good at defensive counterattacks and have good positional capabilities, Liverpool will not exert too much pressure on the offensive end in the game.
For this game, the most important thing is in the midfield competition.
Liverpool's lineup played 451.
Sturridge is the single forward at the front.
And Coutinho and Lallana serve as the left and right side midfielders respectively.
The three B2B midfielders, Milner, Henderson, and Emre James can send and receive games in this game, which not only strengthens the Liverpool team's offense, but also strengthens Liverpool's midfield defensive ability.
There is not much difference between the position of the back line and the goalkeeper, and they are still the five players with the most appearances in past games.
As for Tottenham, it is also 451 against.
However, unlike Liverpool, the offense needs to rely on ball control and technical breakthroughs. Tottenham’s offensive style and player composition are destined to play a completely different offensive tactic from Liverpool in the game.
The starting forward is the young forward Harry Kane who has recently gained fame.
The left and right side midfielders are Ali and South Korean international Sun Xingmin.
Both of them are speed players after all.
Although he has certain skills at his feet, in the game, he relies more on his own speed to overpower his opponent.
Eriksson is definitely an offensive and defensive player. His role is to pass the ball to the front teammates in the middle, so that teammates can get better offensive opportunities.
The two defensive midfielders are Dell and Dembele.
On the back line, Tottenham’s back line is mainly defended by two central defenders.
On the other hand, right back Kyle Walker and left back Rose are in the game. In addition to defensiveness, a lot of energy must be devoted to offense.
In the goalkeeper position, it is still the French national Men Lori.
Both sides have strong offensive capabilities and excellent defensive background, so even if Liverpool are sitting at Anfield in this game, they should not be taken lightly.
For Liverpool, they can no longer tolerate loss of points.
The face-to-face confrontation between the two powerful teams is a fast pace for the progress of the game.
When there is a good opportunity to counterattack, both teams can quickly hit the ball to the front, and show fast offensive methods and performance.
At the beginning of the game, the attacking rhythm of the two teams began to expand rapidly.
It should not even be said that it is the offensive rhythm, but the defensive counterattack of the two teams, which is quite targeted.
Both teams will encounter a tenacious blockade from the opponent’s defense in the offensive development of the two teams, and even if there is a slight mistake on the offensive end, they will be caught by the opponent, directly complete the offensive and defensive transition, and quickly strike the opponent’s hinterland to try Relying on a threatening counterattack to gain an offensive advantage.
From the beginning of the game, the two teams raised the pace of the game very fast.
The conversion rate at both the offensive and defensive ends is extremely fast, which is a feast for the fans.
In the 7th minute of the game, Tottenham's counterattack was the first to play a great threat.
Kyle Walker's speed advantage on the wing is very effective.
As a full-back who has become the top of the Premier League, and even the world's top full-back, Kyle Walker has not only achieved speed in his two years with Tottenham, but also has become more mature in other technical capabilities.
Now, judging from the rumors in the European transfer market, in this era of extreme shortage of full-backs, Kyle Walker has attracted the attention of many European giants. Not to mention, the transfer fee may also be sky-high, which brings a lot to Tottenham. s return.
Tottenham are in the frontcourt, relying more on the 4-man team to launch their offense.
Kyle Walker is the player who has the most support for the frontcourt four-man team among everyone else.
In this time Tottenham’s counterattack, due to Liverpool’s own attack passing the ball in the front field, there was a mistake.
Henderson slammed the ball into the middle of the penalty area, and did not form a tacit understanding with Sturridge. After being intercepted, Tottenham directly launched a quick counterattack.
It was Sun Xingmin on the right who was responsible for the rapid advance.
At this time, the Asian king, Sun Xingmin, played more of his speed advantage in the game.
But the speed advantage can cause a lot of trouble to many people.
Sun Xingmin's rapid breakthrough on the right flank is to forcibly tear a hole in the wing during the game, and then make an extremely effective offensive response.
Sun Xingyun's wing advancement really made Liverpool's defense like an enemy.
Fortunately, there were enough left-behind personnel on the Liverpool defense. Although Sun Xingmin added up the speed for the first time, it still limited Sun Xingmin's offensive oppression before Sun Xingmin attacked the hinterland.
However, in addition to Sun Xingmin, Tottenham also has a Kyle Walker.
Indeed, Liverpool's sideline defense blocked Sun Xingmin and gave Sun Xingmin enough pressure.
But Kyle Walker on the other side, in the game, also broke out of his own speed, forcibly creating an offensive opportunity on the right.
Sun Xingyu's own offense was unsuccessful, and decisively, the ball was assigned to the more reliable Kyle Walker at the first time.
Kyle Walker completely exploded at his own speed and accelerated forward, so that Moreno's defense could not catch up with his own speed at all, and could not form an effective defense.
Liverpool’s entire defense line was forced to close to the small penalty area because of Kelwall’s bottom breakthrough and Harry Kane and Ali’s rapid advance.
However, Kyle Walker did not directly choose to pass the ball to the goal, but in the game, he chose to control the ball, turn the ball in the triangle, and pass it back to the penalty spot.
Following up is Eriksson, the absolute core of Tottenham's midfielder.
You know, Eriksson is just the core of Tottenham's midfield organization. His organizational skills are indeed excellent, but his ability to hit goals is not weak.
This is a player with quite comprehensive offensive skills. One shot ability is also one of the offensive methods that Tottenham rely on on the offensive end.
With a follow-up push to hit the goal, Eriksson's angle of the goal was well controlled.
The aiming direction of the ball is the lower left corner, and Erickson has full force and the ball speed is not slow.
It's just that Mignolet is on the goal line again this time, showing his defensive value.
An excellent side throw directly blocked the ball.
After the ball bounced out, Yang Feng hurriedly completed the clearance.
Liverpool survived.
However, although the threat of Tottenham’s counterattack is great, Liverpool, which is in need of victory in this game, was not scared by the threat of Tottenham’s counterattack.
But in the game, continue to strengthen their investment in the offensive end, is bound to win this game.
Liverpool want to win the championship, they have not allowed them, continue to lose points in the league.
Liverpool need to win, they need to attack, to score the game, and then create conditions for the team to win.
Even if you know that Tottenham’s counterattack is very efficient ~ EbookFREE.me~ Even if you know that Spurs are good at defensive counterattacks, Liverpool can only attack and can only improve the rhythm of the game to play the offensive method they want.
Fortunately, Liverpool's offensive ability lies there. At Anfield Stadium, the fans' "blessing" for Liverpool players is still there.
Liverpool's offense can still receive a good offensive effect.
In the 13th minute of the game, Liverpool's siege from the front field was effective.
Many players in Liverpool's front field exchanged positions, and Lallana came to the left.
This sudden change of positions caused confusion among the Tottenham defensive players in the defensive account.
Lallana was able to get a certain amount of offensive space on the left, and when he directly broke through on the left, he suddenly stopped, opened the space, and made a cross to find Milner who was in the penalty area.
