Football’s First Defender

In the league, after winning two consecutive home games at Anfield, Liverpool challenged Bournemouth as a guest in the 34th round of the league.

Although Bournemouth's performance in the Premier League this season is not very good, it is currently only ranked 13th in the Premier League and is in the middle and lower reaches of the team.

However, the relegation team is obviously weaker. In the second half of the league, there is a high probability of being able to successfully relegation. For a small Premier League club like Bournemouth, it is already the final victory of the season goal.

As the most ordinary Premier League team, Bournemouth has many players from Chelsea's youth training system, Chelsea's young talents, and some veterans who need to be purged, all of which can be found in Bournemouth His own position, either on loan or buyout, the team has too many imprints of Chelsea players, and many people joked that Bournemouth can be regarded as Chelsea's "son".

According to the usual game rhythm of Bournemouth in the Premier League, when facing Chelsea, it may be submissive and "send" 3 points with all its strength, but when facing other strong teams that have competitive pressure with Chelsea, Bournemouth But he is always able to strike hard and create some difficulties for the opponent. In the recent period, it may help Chelsea have a leading advantage in points.

But this year, the results of the Chelsea team itself are not the best. Whether it is the championship or the competition for the Champions League place, there is not much hope at the last moment of the league. In the game, there are not too many hard requirements for the game goal of playing extra giants.

In the case that they have almost succeeded in relegation, for Bournemouth, in the subsequent games, it is also to show the strength of their team and the strength of the players to the greatest extent in the game.

Anyway, for a team like Bournemouth, after retaining a place in the Premier League and guaranteeing a large amount of broadcast fee sharing every season, it is natural to try their best to start in the next game. Promote your own players, strive for a good price, and then make a lot of money in the transfer market.

Anyway, for the mid-lower teams in these leagues, good players and outstanding players will definitely not be able to stay forever. The management of these small teams is very clear about this truth.

Therefore, the players who performed well in the team are very likely to transfer and leave in the summer. Of course, it is necessary for them to have a better performance and get better personal data in the last few games .

Because these data may all increase the value of the players.

Good data is also convenient for Bournemouth to sell players at a higher price in the transfer market.

Bournemouth, who are playing at home, is continuing their own 451 offensive tactics.

Although it has the shadow of Chelsea, Bournemouth's own offensive rhythm is actually quite concise and tends to be a traditional heroic style.

It's just that, compared with ordinary teams, these players with wealthy backgrounds may have better cooperation in the game, and the team's offensive fluency is higher.

The reason why Bournemouth's performance this season is not very good is actually to a large extent because of Bournemouth's own defensive strength. Enmouth still needs a lot of strengthening.

Bournemouth, who are playing at home, can focus on showing their offensive ability even if they are facing the defending champion Liverpool, but in the late stage of the league, when they have no desires and no desires.

On the Liverpool side, under the tremendous pressure of points, they still use their strongest formation.

Exactly the same as the starting lineup of the previous game.

In the case of the 433 system lacking a super breakthrough player on the right, as the players are familiar with it, and the degree of team tactics has increased, now using 442, in Klopp's cognition, can cause The offensive threat is greater.

Moreover, Sturridge also has Firmino, both of whom have strong shooting skills, and are also good at grabbing shots in front of the goal.

Therefore, the configuration of double forwards can obviously further expand Liverpool's offensive threat in front of the goal.

For Liverpool, in the last few rounds of the Premier League, it is particularly important that Liverpool need to win as much as possible, and then expect Leicester City, in the last few rounds, lose, at least 4 In this way, Liverpool will have the opportunity to rely on the advantage of goal difference to complete the reversal of the points at the end.

However, now it seems that it is very difficult for Liverpool to meet this condition.

Afterwards, Liverpool will face Chelsea and Everton in two make-up games. There is no room for mistakes in all games, and Leicester City themselves have won consecutive games recently, so for Liverpool, they need their own With the hard work and the "fulfillment" of the opponent, what Liverpool can do now is to give priority to winning this away game.

Before the game, Liverpool and Bournemouth players held a brief ceremony together to commemorate the 96 fans who died in the Hillsborough tragedy 27 years ago.

Today's game day happens to be the anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy. This is another reason why Liverpool players want to win the game away, that is, Liverpool want to use a game victory to commemorate that year those fans.

Following Yang Feng and the captain of Bournemouth, they held a bouquet of flowers with "96" written on them and placed them next to the competition field. This match officially began.

Even if it is an away game, the home team Bournemouth consciously wants to attack.

However, taking the initiative on the field must still be Liverpool.

This is the strength of the team, and it is also the advantage Liverpool has when facing small and medium teams.

In the face of Liverpool, in order to play an evenly matched situation with Liverpool, Bournemouth needs to obtain a good offensive connection ability in the game and play continuous offensive threats.

But for Bournemouth, it is still difficult to play a continuous offense.

During the game, Liverpool itself has a greater advantage in possession of the ball and can take the initiative in offense.

In addition to the possession advantage, Liverpool itself has an active high-position press and oppressive defense in the midfield during the game, which cut off part of Bournemouth's offense from the source.

On the other hand, in the defensive line formed by Yang Feng and Lovren, Yang Feng managed to control a large defensive area by himself, limiting the number of attacks that the home team Bournemouth could make when they launched a direct counterattack.

When facing a team like Bournemouth, which is already strong offensively and weakly defensively, Liverpool's advantage is actually quite obvious.

In terms of restricting the opponent's offense, Liverpool's high midfielder oppresses the defense and has a lot of room to deal with it.

Not only can he successfully use the high position to press the defense, but also complete the limitation of Bournemouth's offense in the game.

It is also possible to complete the ball conversion immediately in the midfield and get a very threatening counterattack opportunity.

In the 8th minute of the game, Liverpool almost completed an excellent offensive and defensive conversion opportunity in the game.

Facing Liverpool, the high-post pressure defense suddenly added speed in the midfield.

Bournemouth once again had a big problem with passing the ball in the backcourt.

Between the central defenders, under the forward defense of the Liverpool players, there was a deviation in the strength of the pass.

Central defender Ake's stop this time did not completely step on the ball.

The ball was not stopped by Ake.

Instead, he stopped a lot, which gave Sturridge room to rush forward to complete the steal.

Sturridge's burst of speed was very fast, and he directly accelerated and rushed forward, successfully stealing the ball.

Sturridge broke the ball from Ake's feet and rushed directly into the Bournemouth penalty area.

Facing the goalkeeper's attack, Sturridge could only forcefully complete a kick when he was blocked by the goalkeeper in front and Ake's defensive interference in the back.

It's just a pity that Sturridge's kick did not hit the goal frame, but went straight out of the baseline.

Liverpool's offensive performance today is quite good.

Bournemouth itself is not a very good defensive end, it was completely penetrated by Liverpool.

Liverpool's offense, after finding Bournemouth's defensive weakness, did not give the Bournemouth players a little room to breathe, but launched the offense infinitely.

Especially in the gap between Bournemouth's weak central defense and the team's poor collective defense, Liverpool seized the opportunity today and continued to complete the offense.

Under such an offensive situation, for them, it means that they have a good offensive cooperation, which can allow Liverpool players to have a good offensive performance in the game.

In the 24th minute of the game, Coutinho kicked a pass from the left.

Falling within the penalty area of ​​Bournemouth, no Bournemouth player reacted to complete the clearance at the first landing point.

In the "no matter" zone between Bournemouth's defensive players, after the ball fell, several of Bournemouth's defensive players did not react to defend for the first time.

But when the second reaction came, it was already slow.

In the penalty area, the attacking space is still created in this way. It can only be said that Liverpool can create offensive opportunities at will during the game.

Coutinho's kick pass was within the penalty area. Naturally, Sturridge, who reacted the fastest, adjusted his position first, and took the first step to complete the kick directly.

The ball flew directly to the left of the goal.

1 to 0!

Relying on Coutinho's wonderful pass, Bournemouth's defensive space leaked in the penalty area, and Sturridge's quite threatening kick.

Liverpool took the lead in scoring away goals and took the lead.

With a one-goal lead to make the bottom, the subsequent game process will be much simpler.

In the game where Liverpool can take the lead in breaking the deadlock, the probability of winning the final game structure is too high.

This is the ability that Liverpool has developed in the game, and it is also the reason why Liverpool has performed so well in recent seasons.

In the game, the probability of Liverpool being reversed is too small.

This has a lot of credit, which can be attributed to Yang Feng's stable defense on the back line, so that Yang Feng himself can provide enough defensive support for Liverpool to maintain the leading edge of the score in the period of time before the score is expanded. .

The subsequent games will be the same as in previous rehearsals.

Facing the crazy counterattack of the home team Bournemouth at home, Yang Feng once again became the most stable point in Liverpool's defense.

With Yang Feng's performance on the field, at least Bournemouth's lone striker, Joshua King, can be restricted to the greatest extent.

As a forward who is extremely good at grabbing points, Joshua King may not have a lot of scoring statistics, but his ability to grab points is extremely threatening.

And the most important thing is that Joshua King, who can rush and grab, can mess up the offensive situation in the frontcourt during the game, and then let the Bournemouth players win in the chaos and find offensive points Opportunity.

However, today, with Yang Feng's defense, it is not so easy.

During the game, Yang Feng did an excellent job of protecting Liverpool's penalty area.

It is mainly Bournemouth's wide pass, which is not too big or a good opportunity at all. It can fall within the Liverpool penalty area and provide opportunities for offensive players.

The pass towards the main threat area is eventually pushed out by Yang Feng or directly to complete the clearance, or under the great interference of Yang Feng, the offensive player barely completes the goal, and there is not much offensive threat, and the goal cannot be scored , to score.

After the whole game, Bournemouth, which has been playing offense, has actually had a lot of attacks and even goal attempts.

The number of shots with 12 kicks is actually quite good for such an offensive performance when a weak team faces a strong team.

However, for the real number of shots on target, Bournemouth only had one kick, and it was still a long-range shot from the outside, and a barely completed shot was on target.

There are not so many goal-scoring opportunities that can be created by other offensive methods.

In addition to doing a good job of defense, Liverpool's offense on the counterattack is naturally very good.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Coutinho hit the goal with a volley from the outside of the counter, directly blasting into the upper left corner of the goal, directly expanding the score to 2-0.

And 7 minutes later, when Liverpool had a set-kick opportunity in the frontcourt, Yang Feng was in the middle again and completed a head shake attack, and the header directly headed the ball into the goal.

3-0, Liverpool took a 3-goal lead away from home.

Although at the end of the game, the home team scored a face-saving goal, it did not delay Liverpool's away game, winning three consecutive victories with a score of 3-1.
