Chapter 542: Getting better

For Liverpool, this victory is not just a simple addition of three points in the standings.
It is an incentive for Liverpool's future schedule.
Liverpool, which is not good at playing hard games this season, after defeating the leaders Chelsea, it can be said that they found the direction of the team building in an instant.
Gerrard himself no longer has any complaints about coming off the bench. As long as Liverpool can get better and Liverpool can regain the right track of winning, for a long-time veteran like Gerrard, it is worthwhile to give in.
After Rodgers won the match against Chelsea in this field, he also strengthened his determination to make more youthful reforms in the team.
Use a more impactful midfielder to play a youth storm belonging to Liverpool in the Premier League. After the national team match day, Liverpool played in London to challenge the Crystal Palace team.
Crystal Palace ranks in the middle and lower reaches of the season, and the team's goal is very realistically fixed on relegation.
Every point is critical to the relegation of Crystal Palace.
So even if Liverpool have just defeated the leaders Chelsea, but Crystal Palace is at home, still trying to make a threat to Liverpool and strive to get points at home.
However, today's Liverpool, even if the FIFA virus still exists, but Rogers still continues his previous lineup against Chelsea. With a more impactful lineup in the front court, he completely occupied the initiative in the away field.
Although several players rushed back and forth on the national team match day, the young people themselves did not fully play the national team, and their resilience was amazing, and no physical problems were revealed.
Although Crystal Palace puts on an iron barrel posture at home, as a Premier League team, there is still a trace of pursuit at home.
Crystal Palace wants to do a good job of defense, relying on defensive counterattacks to further threaten Liverpool's defense, rather than passively fully defending.
But for Liverpool, after the offensive ended and the goal was lost, the Crystal Palace had no way to organize an effective attack.
A long pass from the backcourt was easily blocked by Yang Feng.
Pushing forward from the back, the Liverpool players frantically pressed for the frontcourt and could regain the right to the game in an instant.
The defensive counterattack that Crystal Palace planned at the beginning ended up being defensive, but no counterattack at all.
On the contrary, Liverpool's offense is constantly compressing the home team's defensive space.
Unlike Gerrard who had to worry about physical energy consumption and limit his forward penetration to participate in the offense, Henderson and Emre Can play more like a striker on the offensive end, not satisfied with shooting from the outside. Sometimes the two will even directly enter the opponent's penalty area to respond to the passes of their teammates and create a greater threat.
Thanks to the in-depth attack of the midfielder and the cross from the side, Liverpool had an early header from Sturridge in the penalty area and broke the deadlock.
The way of playing after the lead is too easy for Liverpool players.
In the face of Crystal Palace, Liverpool does not need to be fully defensive like before facing Chelsea, and has the ability to retain enough counterattacks to continue to seek opportunities to expand the score.
The Crystal Palace, which had to be attacked, did not pose too much threat to the Liverpool defense line led by Yang Feng, and was directly defeated by Liverpool's excellent counter-attack line.
Sterling counterattacked and received a precise long pass from Yang Feng in the backcourt. After receiving the ball, he played his speed advantage and went straight to Huanglong. A low shot helped Liverpool expand the score.
Afterwards, Henderson counterattacked at the end of the game and locked the score at 3-0. Liverpool won away from home and once again achieved a rare winning streak.
In the middle of the week, Liverpool’s first game of the Champions League life and death battle, went to Bulgaria away to challenge the Bulgarian hegemony team Ludogorets.
Under its fanatical atmosphere, Liverpool, who had no capital to care about, fought against the opponent in the away game.
Although the opponent's field condition is not good, it affects Liverpool's performance, but thanks to the super personal physical quality of the Liverpool players, Liverpool defeated the opponent 3-2 in the away game and continued to ensure that they were promoted. Initiative.
Back in the Premier League, in the home game against Stoke City, Rogers had to make appropriate rotations due to the continuous consumption of the team.
Gerrard returned to the starting lineup, along with Joe Allen and Lallana.
Liverpool used a "rotating lineup" to ensure that the team is in the best condition to face Stoke.
Fortunately, the bonus at Anfield's home game has ensured Liverpool's strength.
Stoke City has been unable to make waves at Anfield, and this game is the same.
Even if Liverpool's midfield is rotated, the team has been skilled in the frontcourt in the first few games and cannot start.
But the three offensive midfielders who tend to be technically oriented, in this "fit", show the other side of the Liverpool team's offense.
This time in the rotation, Liverpool rarely played a pass-and-control play that had not been seen for a long time.
And because Rogers has already stated that he will replace Gerrard in about 60 minutes before the game~EbookFREE.me~, Gerrard can run as much as possible without having to accumulate energy.
Everyone tried their best to play their best, making Liverpool's offensive performance in this game quite good.
Stoke City was completely suppressed at Anfield, and the visiting team is not essentially a defensive team.
Just over half of the first half, the visiting team's defense couldn't hold on, and there was a huge gap.
There is no need to accumulate physical strength to keep the whole audience Gerrard, the iconic back inserted, an angry shot, the ball flew into the upper left corner of the goal like an arrow from the string.
The visiting goalkeeper had no response, and Gerrard helped Liverpool break the deadlock on the court.
Different from past defensive counterattacks, Liverpool still relies on the outstanding technical ability of the players to control a lot of ball rights. This game is a rare pass and control performance time for Liverpool.
With excellent passing control, Liverpool consumed Stoke's spirit of away counterattack bit by bit.
And when the visiting team players relax their vigilance and are beaten by Liverpool's pass and play style, when Liverpool's sudden acceleration can always achieve unexpected results.
Before the end of the first half, Sturridge made a sudden anti-offside advance and received a precise pass from Coutinho, which directly caused a single chance.
After that, Sturridge hit a wicket against the opponent's goalkeeper and successfully gave Liverpool a two-goal lead.
In the second half, the two sides developed peacefully, and the score of 2-0 was maintained to the end under the control of Liverpool.
The winning streak continued, and with continuous victories, Liverpool came back.
Not only has a new tactical play, the original old play is gradually picked up, Liverpool is becoming the most competitive team in the Premier League again.
