Football’s First Defender

The "new army" that Klopp quickly established, the first opponent in the league is the mid-lower team Norwich, which can be regarded as a good start for the new official Liverpool on the schedule.

As the third place in the British Championship last season, Norwich relied on two rounds of play-offs and won the final "billion pound battle" to be promoted to the Premier League.

The tough schedule encountered in the British Championship made Norwich cherish this Premier League place very much.

Norwich, who aims at relegation this season and cherishes every point, has encountered Liverpool, who have been in a bad state recently, and naturally came to Anfield with at least an away game.

It's just that Norwich, who wanted to take advantage of Liverpool's low morale to steal a wave of points, did not only lose the opportunity to easily score points while Liverpool was in chaos after Liverpool quickly completed the coaching change, but may also be defeated by Liverpool. The new coach completes "Flag Sacrifice".

This also made Norwich's preparations for this game, from the mentality of planning to attack at the beginning, taking advantage of Liverpool's illness to kill Liverpool, to a strategy of focusing on defense and waiting for the right time.

However, Norwich, who played very well in the away game, still did not escape his destined fate.

After Klopp's arrival, the immediate integration of the team has revived the fighting spirit of many Liverpool players.

Anfield Stadium, even though the team's recent record is not good, but every game is still full of seats.

For the fans, they will criticize the team severely off the court, scold the coach and players for not focusing on the game, but on the game day, they will definitely devote all their passion and enthusiasm to cheering for the team Cheer on.

In response to Liverpool's 433 attacking formation, Norwich chose a 451 defensive counterattack formation.

After Liverpool quickly completed the coaching change, Norwich did not want to be too positive at the beginning. After all, this is Liverpool's terrifying home court. In the past two seasons, countless teams have fallen here.

They plan to defend for a while, to see the state of the Liverpool team, and then decide their own tactical strategy.

The state of the game recently, especially on the offensive end, Liverpool, which is quite bad, has shown a completely different offensive style from the beginning of the game from the entire season.

The offensive rhythm has become faster, and it is more reasonable for the use of the two wings.

And after the lack of the "drag" of Benteke in the middle, although Firmino does not have much advantage in the ability to compete for the top in the middle, he still uses his own running and various interspersed, still Can create a lot of opportunities.

Many Liverpool fans, seeing the tactical performance of Liverpool players on the field, their eyes lit up.

This is finally a bit of the shadow of Liverpool, which was invincible last season.

Although Liverpool's offensive tacit understanding is obviously still insufficient, the fast-paced attack cannot guarantee the success rate every time.

However, Liverpool, which has absolute possession of the ball, has enough offensive opportunities to "squander", use quantity to make up for mistakes, and still be able to create a considerable number of threatening attacks.

And for his own pass error, there will be the threat of being hit back.

When there was no Benteke on the field, under Klopp's various "coercion and temptation", the players on the field who regained their sense of competition and concentration in the game played the high defensive effect that Klopp wanted. .

Using the outstanding frontcourt press and tireless running, he can always grab the ball quickly, complete counterattacks on the spot, or reorganize the offense.

Of course, when the defense is pressed, there will still be various inconsistencies in the temporarily "formed army" of Liverpool, but the strength of the Norwich players is limited, and the traditional heroic style also prevents them from being outstanding. Facing Liverpool's frantic press, there is no good chance to push back.

As far as Norwich's rough backcourt long pass is concerned, it's just for Yang Feng in Liverpool's defense to brush up his own defensive data.

Facing Norwich's high ball pass from the backcourt, Yang Feng had a rare game where he could easily and happily increase his defensive statistics.

In the 28th minute of the game, Liverpool's continuous offensive in the first half finally achieved results.

Norwich paid the price for their rough counter 'clearance' on the pitch.

Under the tight defense of Liverpool's frontcourt players, a random pass to Liverpool's frontcourt directly "cleared" to the feet of Yang Feng near the midfield area.

Faced with Norwich's mention of the defense line in the penalty area, Yang Feng saw the right time and made a long pass from a long distance, directly finding a position deep on the left.

The tall Norwich right back, Steven, was obviously not fast enough to chase back. Yang Feng's pass bounced off the ground and continued to fly forward.

And Moreno, who was attacking on the left, was obviously familiar with Yang Feng's long-pass guidance ability, and had already advanced quickly.

Using his own speed, he overtook another car from the outside, forcibly running diagonally in front of Steven with his speed, and took the second point of the ball.

Since the half-high ball formed after the rebound was about to go out of the bottom line, Steven chose to slow down and stay on the bottom line to deal with the next defense.

As long as Moreno barely stops the ball, Steven is ready to use his tall body to directly grab the football with physical confrontation.

However, after watching Steven decelerate, due to the inertia still in the forward imbalance state, Moreno gave full play to his short stature and high flexibility.

He didn't choose to stop the ball, but stretched out his foot when the ball was about to go out of bounds, and hooked it back directly. Then, he changed direction and accelerated, taking advantage of Steven's unstable center of gravity, unable to form the first defense, and killed Xiang Nuo Vicky's restricted area.

Stopping and passing in an instant, passing Steven, Moreno created a murderous intent on the wing.

At this time, the visiting team's central defender Basson had to come over immediately to defend, trying to limit Moreno's shots or passes.

However, a single move on the defensive line affects the whole body.

Steven's defensive failure and Bassoon's supplementary defense formed an instant series of Norwich's defensive reactions.

On the other hand, Moreno stepped into the opponent's penalty area and at the last moment when Bassoon grabbed the position, he made an inverted triangle pass and passed the ball to the right of the penalty spot.

Milner, who had been conscientiously doing defensive tasks before, suddenly chose to advance quickly during this attack, increasing Liverpool's offensive number in the frontcourt.

And Moreno, who broke through from the middle into the penalty area, also noticed the insertion of his teammate Milner.

With a pass of moderate strength, Milner, who followed up in the middle, kept the ball and pushed with one kick when no one was defending.

The ball whizzed out, and the Norwich goalkeeper had no time to react. The ball had already flown into the goal from the upper left corner of the goal.

"GOAL!!!"

"Liverpool scored!"

"New aid Milner! Scored his first goal for Liverpool!"

"Liverpool took the lead..."
