winning hand

Before the game against Liverpool started, Li Bin found all the information about Liverpool's games in recent years and studied them carefully. After studying, he quickly realized two things: First,

, it is difficult to break through Liverpool's door in sports battles now. If your team places its hope in sports battles at Anfield, then your team will be lucky.

No matter how good it is, the most it can do is get a 1-0 score. Secondly, although Liverpool's defensive work is very good, they have major problems in defending set pieces. The regional defense they adopt has always been

It shows great shortcomings, but their head coach Benitez never knows how to correct it. These details can be used by Parma.

Li Bin knows that it is very difficult to win a victory at Anfield. In the past two years, Chelsea was suppressed at Anfield's home court and was eliminated in succession. These teams in the Premier League

When a strong team is at its strongest, none of its goals are particularly easy to break. However, Liverpool has such a huge problem that can be exploited.

Liverpool's set pieces have always been one of the biggest reasons why they conceded goals. They once created a team where half of the goals conceded in half a season were caused by defensive errors in set pieces. In Li Bin's memory, they

Eliminated by Chelsea twice, the first time was due to Riise

A mistake was made in corner kick defense. The second round against Chelsea ended in a score of 5-7. Four of the goals were conceded during set kicks - their set kicks are their biggest weakness, and the reason why they are like this is

The weakness is that their defense is too focused on zone defense.

In football matches, there have always been two types of set-piece defense in the penalty area. One is that players mark man-to-man, using man-to-man defense, using their tallest player to mark the best player to defend the opponent's attack.

, and the other is to use area defense. Everyone in the penalty area defends the area they should defend and does not run with others. The former is to focus on the opponent and move around the opponent's strong points, while the latter is

Put yourself first and walk around your own restricted area.

The problem with the former is that some teams with strong set-piece abilities can rely on their movement to pull players in the penalty area, causing holes in the penalty area that can be exploited by opponents. The other problem is that the players' ability to prevent high balls is insufficient.

Sometimes, such a defense can easily be overpowered by opponents. In today's football world, more and more defenders tend to use zone defense.

The general method of regional defense is to place a high ball grab point at the front point so that the opponent cannot attack the front point. If the opponent goes around the back point, the goalkeeper will attack out and directly take the set ball. At the same time, near the penalty spot,

Put in a player with strong header ability to prevent the opponent's strong charge. This kind of play can often only use two or three players.

It has completed the defense of set pieces in the penalty area, so it is also regarded as the best way to defend set pieces. One of the biggest reforms in English football in recent years is the introduction of the idea of ​​​​regional defense. In the original English football

, it is simply unethical to not stand on the goal post to defend against corner kicks. However, in the past few years, their ideas have changed a lot.

There are many teams that play like this. For Liverpool, Hyypia is in the front line. His heading skills are among the best in Europe and he can defend this point well. And Reina is the back line.

to fight for the header. And the other team that insists on zone defense will be the future

Barcelona, ​​they also let Pique defend at the front point and Puyol sweep up at the penalty spot - this makes up for the lack of average height of the team's players. Although the entire Barcelona team is tall enough, their header ability is only three or four.

Individually, but they never had any problems with their headers.

But there is a big problem with this style of play: it requires all players except those two to have enough enthusiasm. When the ball comes up, they have to run forward in time, and on the one hand, they cause offside.

On the other hand, it is to block the opponent's rush to the top of the penalty area. The mobile players in the penalty area cannot stand still and watch, they have to block the opponent's line.

But these are things that Liverpool cannot accomplish: to block the opponent's forward movement, what is needed is not the body, but a good sense of position and cooperation. However, Liverpool players always like to rotate, and the players do not cooperate well. This task is to prevent the opponent from advancing.

It can't be done well. Zone defense has its advantages, but this kind of defense leaves players without individual defense.

Responsibility is only the collective defensive responsibility. Sometimes, when the players do not work hard enough, they feel that "someone will intercept it anyway", which makes them lose the ball. Barcelona can play like this because in their peak years, the players

The hard work is indeed very strong, but players like Liverpool, who are often rotated, sometimes do not work very hard.

Moreover, this season Liverpool will also have to add that Reina has gradually lost his ability to control the high ball due to injuries. They originally had few strong points and lost one more. As a result, they lost the ball at set pieces.

There are more.

It’s not that Benitez doesn’t understand this. He can be said to be very knowledgeable in set-piece tactics, but he stubbornly insists on what he thinks is a better style of play because he thinks regional defense is more advanced, so

He insisted on zonal defense without considering man-marking. He refused to make arrangements based on Liverpool's actual situation, which made Liverpool's set-piece troubles irreparable.

This is what Parma is taking advantage of now. After taking a 1-0 lead, Li Bin immediately made adjustments: He asked Keita to replace Motta, who was physically demanding, and strengthened Parma's frontcourt.

The long-range shooting ability, and then let Cannavaro replace Thuram in the backcourt to strengthen the header attack. At the same time, he also signaled Parma to stop trying to organize. No matter who got the ball in the frontcourt,

They all have to directly try to score from long range.

Parma's game has never been well organized, and at this time, they simply gave up all organization. In a devilish home stadium like Anfield, they want to rely on ground penetration to break Liverpool's defense.

It's difficult, so they no longer try, but use simple and crude kicking methods to directly target the opponent's weaknesses. Parma's players are pretty good at long-range shooting.

Under Bin's instruction, after getting the ball, he directly

When the ball was passed to the frontcourt, they all dared to shoot as long as they were within thirty meters of the goal. In one attack, Frey kicked the ball out, and Yaya Toure and others in the frontcourt tried to shoot.

Both passes were useless and the first half was still a stalemate.

For both sides of the battle, after the second half, Parma's long-range shots increased significantly - such shots are difficult to succeed. However, such shots can increase the number of set-piece opportunities in the frontcourt, making Parma's set-piece opportunities more likely.

The effect is highlighted.

Benitez stood up on the sidelines and shouted at the players: He signaled his players to guard the penalty area, increase pressure, and not let Parma have too many opportunities. However, the Liverpool players

They are already very tired. Li Bin has someone who can replace him, but Liverpool's bench is not deep enough. At this time, they have no power to resist Parma!

From the beginning, Parma was determined to let Liverpool indulge in the idea that their Torres could break through Parma's gate, wasting their energy. Then in the second half, Parma relied on the advantage of the depth of the bench and the all-round advantage of the midfielder.

Creating set pieces and laying siege to opponents is a tactic they have prepared long before the game.

Liverpool does have the best midfield combination, but Parma has gained the advantage due to its better depth and players' better long-range shooting ability.

Just after passing the center circle, Yaya Toure made a wide horizontal pass and passed the ball to Grosso on the wing. Grosso immediately made a through pass and passed the ball to Arshavin in front.

Arshavin took a long shot from outside the penalty area and kicked it into the penalty area. Inside the penalty area, Carragher made a timely kick and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

However, this also resulted in a corner kick - Parma greatly increased this type of attack in the second half, trying to take advantage of set-piece opportunities and try to break through the opponent's door again.

Arshavin stood on the corner kick and kicked the ball up.

The football flew towards the back point. Carragher tried hard to take a step back, pressed Cavani hard behind him, shook his head and pushed the ball out. However, at the edge of the penalty area, Yaya Toure received the ball and kicked it.

The long shot that hit the ground immediately followed. Mascherano, who was standing in front of him and responsible for the defense, failed to stop him. The football passed through the entire defense line, hit the goal post with a crisp sound, and bounced out!

It's a pity that a good opportunity was missed! Li Bin sighed, but the football was knocked out of the baseline by Arbeloa, who was eager to save the situation, and another corner kick opportunity came.

This time, Arshavin looked at his position inside the penalty area. He no longer chose to look for the back point, but kicked the ball to the front point!

In the penalty area, Agger also started running. He started running slightly behind the penalty spot. He made an arc and did not directly hit the area defended by Carragher. Instead, he chose to move slightly from the penalty spot.

The impact was launched from Alonso's position further away, and he penetrated Alonso from behind.

, went around directly in front of him. Alonso pulled his jersey, but failed to stop him. Seeing that he had already run out of his defensive position, Alonso did not follow him. However, Agger

Taking a step forward, he had already run in front of Hyypia, who was defending on the edge of the small penalty area!

He did this step forward very beautifully. Hyypia was completely unaware that someone would come from behind him and come in front of him. When he saw Agge rushing over, he was already a step slower. Al

It was at this time that Chauvin passed the ball, and he passed it very accurately.

Indeed, it was the front point we were looking for. Agger took off one step in front of Hyypia. He completely blocked Hyypia's sight. Hyypia didn't even see the ball, but looked directly at Agger.

On the line of the small penalty area, after taking off, he hit the ball towards the goal with a very neat headbutt.

Reina didn't even react, he just watched the football fly into the goal from his upper right. With the corner kick, Parma took a 2-0 lead!

The whole stand was instantly filled with roars and boos, and dissatisfaction and anger were suddenly ignited here. This is Anfield, and the fans cannot accept it in any case. They are being treated here.

People lead 2-0!

However, Agger, who scored the goal, stretched out two fingers and strode towards the stands of the away team fans to celebrate the score! How many people can score a 2-0 at Anfield?

There is nothing that can be done!

"Parma scored another goal! Before the game, I also said that Parma might not have any offensive ability due to Liverpool's strangulation tactics and could not implement their offensive tactics. But now it seems that Parma is incapable of sight attack tactics.

,Their attack tactics have been implemented to the best of their ability!”

After taking a look at the situation on the court, Li Bin also turned his head. He looked at the bench and made the third substitution decision.

"Palmeri replaced Grosso...Does Parma want to develop his header attack? But, can he do it for a kid who is less than seventeen years old?"
