In the Champions League group stage, the player with the highest performance against Naples was naturally a fast-handed Masterlin who dedicated two assists.
It is precisely because of his two penetrations through the Naples side defense that he created the last pass opportunity for other players to easily hit the goal.
In this game, Sterling successfully completed 5 breakthroughs on the wing and sent threatening passes many times, almost forming an assist hat trick.
It is not only the dazzling performance in terms of data, but also when Suarez and Sturridge both encountered key targets in the game, Sterling also relied on his outstanding offensive performance to further compress Naples' defense system. , So Sturridge and Suarez can get more offensive space in the late game.
This kind of eruption on the right side is welcome to Rogers. Compared to the offensive firepower of Suarez and Sturridge, the somewhat lame right side is the least threatening point of the Liverpool striker.
However, in this game, Sterling has proved that he has the potential to create the same offensive threat as his two forward teammates on the wing.
Can "double s" evolve into "three s"? It depends on whether Sterling can maintain such a continuous and stable performance like Suarez and Sturridge.
All Liverpool fans have great expectations for Sterling, his own child, and hope that he can grow into a superstar in the Premier League.
There are rumors that Gerrard’s retirement is imminent. After all, Carragher and Gerrard are at the end of their careers. Liverpool fans still hope to find a pure "Liverpool man" from the youth training to be among the older players. After retiring, he can pick up the banner of his predecessors.
Although Sterling is also the Liverpool youth training team, what they get from other teams is not the orthodox Red Army youth training. But being able to have the experience of the Red Army’s youth training is actually more in line with the personality of the
Liverpool
than the players who have already gained fame before the transfer such as Yang Feng, Suarez and Sturridge.
Although everyone loves them very much, but the "Liverpool people" complex is still very tangled by some Liverpool fans.
This is like a lol game. It is obviously a club game. In the end, there are always some sprayers who will say on the keyboard that there are two Koreans, "Winning the championship will not win our approval." None of the five Koreans won the championship, which proves that there are still three Chinese NBs.
For the fans in the city of Liverpool, Sterling may be a kind of comfort to their regional psychology. For this young player, everyone has the most expectations.
Back to the Premier League.
The match against Naples, for Liverpool players, the physical consumption is not that big, so in the weekend of the Premier League, Rogers does not need to rotate players, allowing the team to maintain a full-power posture and face the challenge of Crystal Palace .
Crystal Palace is also a weak team this season. With only three points in the league, it is a bit stronger than Sunderland and ranked second in the Premier League.
This strong versus weak matchup was still held at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium. Naturally, there is not much suspense about the result.
3 to 1, Liverpool were at home and a huge lead of 3 to 0 was established in the first half.
In the second half, taking into account the following schedule and preventing player injuries, the Liverpool players have obviously been in a "closed kick" state, strengthening the control of the ball and killing the game time.
Therefore, after Liverpool had rotated three players, although a goal was scored by Crystal Palace, it did not affect the result of the game. A victory, taking advantage of the leading Chelsea to lose the chain again, allowed Liverpool to return to the top of the league.
In this game, Liverpool fans were so happy that it was not just this victory, but the terrifying offensive strength of the team that scored three goals in the first half.
Originally in the Champions League, Sturridge and Suarez's consecutive goals seemed to have come to an abrupt end.
Most of the media are still holding a wait-and-see attitude for not scoring a goal in a "double-s" match.
The results proved that, fortunately, these media did not immediately stand up to evaluate Liverpool's "double s". In the immediate Premier League match, the "double s" immediately returned to the goal state.
Sturridge scored the first goal in 15 minutes, and Suarez scored the second goal in the 21st minute.
After Liverpool's third goal, it came from the resurgent old captain Gerrard. The iconic long shot can be regarded as completely defeating Crystal Palace's defense at halftime.
In this game, although Liverpool no longer scored in the second half, the "double s" scored one goal per person, which is already extremely efficient in the entire Premier League.
Maintaining such a scoring rate, Sturridge and Suarez have a full chance to win the top two of the Premier League's scorer list, and even have the opportunity to try to hit the 34 goals recorded by the Premier League's single-season scorer.
One of the behind-the-scenes heroes hidden behind the "double-s" goal in this game is another "s" Sterling that fans are looking forward to.
Sterling, who has recently found the state of the game, has begun to become a fish in the right position. Since the last Champions League group match against Naples, after showing confidence on the wing, this scene is against Crystal Palace. Once demonstrated his strong personal ability on the side.
Using speed, explosiveness, and excellent ability to stop and change direction in the game on the right, it completely blasted Crystal Palace's left guard Dean in the game.
Sturridge's first scoring goal ~EbookFREE.me~ was after Sterling accelerated to the bottom on the right, and then crossed to the back point, giving Sturridge the header to kill at the back point.
While Gerrard’s goal, although the assist was recorded on Henderson who knocked the ball across, the ball received by Henderson was also an inverted triangle pass by Sterling after breaking through the wing. Henderson was found, which allowed Henderson to choose Gerrard when he attracted the opponent and other players to cover defense.
"One and a half assists! Participated in two goals!"
This is a summary of Sterling's real performance after a lot of attention has been paid to the whole game.
Nowadays, the highlight performance of the Liverpool players is not a single game, but a continuous outstanding performance, which proves how strong the player's own ceiling is.
Sterling, the young man, has already made his mark in Liverpool last season.
But everyone's impression of him, most of the time, is his excellent speed, the huge threat he brings in the counterattack, and the shooting ability he still needs to polish.
But what I didn't expect was that after a summer of training, Sterling would further strengthen his advantages and then improve his passing ability.
In the two games, Sterling did a very good job in the combination of breakthrough and passing, and the control of passing power, passing angle, and the choice of passing teammates all did the best.
Always be able to find the weak point of the opponent's defense line during high-speed running, and send the ball there accurately.
what does this mean?
If Sterling can maintain this state, then Liverpool’s already hot "double s" scorer will form more and better echoes with Sterling on the right, and it can be a three-person team. The three on the front line can create enough murderous opportunities.
