Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 297 Magic Bird's ultimate move, forward-moving frontless array
The penalty kick was taken by Dybala, the team's chief penalty shooter.

Facing Alisson, Dybala took a deep breath, and after the referee Stiller's whistle, he ran up three steps and accurately pushed the lower left corner of the goal.

Alisson jumped in the right direction, but Dybala's ball was too tricky, and there was still a distance of two palms between his right hand and the ball.

Just when Dybala raised his hands to turn around and celebrate with his teammates, the referee Stiller blew his whistle, indicating that a player had rushed into the penalty area before the free throw.

Dybala, who was dissatisfied with Stiller because of the previous penalty, suddenly became angry.

Although he is very confident in his penalty kick ability, facing the world's top three goalkeeper Alisson, who can guarantee that every goal can be scored.

Moreover, when the penalty is scored, there is only one possibility for someone to cross the line early, and that is that Roma's own teammates violated the law, which is even more impossible.

Stiller was besieged by players for the fourth time in this field, and Van Dijk, Arnold and others also came up to help the referee.

The beauty host asked several guests what they think of Stiller’s law enforcement performance tonight. Ferdinand and Gerrard think that if this continues, both sides will be dissatisfied, and the game will tend to get out of control. Fully anticipating the difficulty of the game, Carragher bluntly said that the referee is a piece of garbage, insisting that the penalty should not be awarded.

Stiller listened to the headset for a while, then the whistle sounded and pointed to the middle circle!
The ball counts!
The rebroadcast footage was also replayed, and it was Arnold and Firmino who rushed into the penalty area first.

Now, Van Dyke and others, who were still supporting Stiller just now, turned to complain to Stiller...

Although Dybala, Chen Xiaoliang and the others were also throwing their fists in celebration, they were always a little upset.

It's like when the countdown to a rocket launch has run out and you're excitedly waiting for the launch to take off, only to be told that the astronomical conditions are wrong and you have to wait.

Success is Xiao He, defeat is Xiao He, Klopp looked at Bajcetic helplessly from the sidelines.

He knew that as a surprise soldier, this young player had tried his best tonight and performed beyond his standard, but the result of rushing the ducks to the shelves was Chen Xiaoliang's lack of experience and being used by Chen Xiaoliang.

Any experienced defensive player, when he has to use his body to block the opponent's shot, his arms are close to his torso.

And the ball just now, when most of the shooting space was blocked, if Bajcetic didn't block it and handed it to Alisson to save it, he might not necessarily score.

But even so, Klopp still called Bajcetic while Stiller was listening to the earphones, and while encouraging him, reminded him of the details of Chen Xiaoliang's defense.

He had to stabilize the young general's mentality, dragging on for a moment.

Nunes kicked off in the middle circle and the game continued.

Liverpool's attack is very methodical, at least tonight, they are very methodical, and there seems to be signs of returning to their former style.

However, the offensive system of high position pressing and rib penetration was restrained by Mourinho's 4-2-3-1.

Under the arrangement of Roma's double defensive midfielders, the ribs on both sides outside the penalty area are completely covered, and there is Chen Xiaoliang in the middle who can retreat to the top of the penalty area to defend at any time, causing Liverpool to fall into the same situation as the other players facing Roma this season. Strong teams have the same problem, that is, the only feasible way to attack is to advance from the side.

However, whether it is the 31-year-old Firmino on the left or the 30-year-old Salah on the right, they have slowly declined from the peak state of their bodies. It is no problem to say that Malaysia has the upper hand when it blows up in front of it.

Just when this kind of siege could not be attacked, he had no possession of the ball, and he was worried about Rome's quick counterattack, Nunes stood up.

There is one thing to say, although Nunes has encountered a lot of doubts and ridicules from fans and the media because of his push from the far corner, but in terms of player's personal ability, he is indeed a very good player.

As early as when Rangers faced Benfica, Gerrard asked Chen Xiaoliang, who was not yet able to represent the team and was sitting on the bench, to observe the Uruguayan striker carefully.

In the case of a red card suspension at the beginning of the season and a rotation, Nunes has scored 9 goals for his new club. The score of 90 goals per 0.6 minutes is for Liverpool, which is in a collective downturn. Not too low.

But the fans obviously haven't adapted yet. Comparing Nunes with Mane and Manchester City's Haaland, you must know that Haaland's scoring efficiency in Manchester City this season is directly aimed at breaking the historical record of the Premier League. , In the 30 years since the establishment of the Premier League, this kind of crazy performance has not been achieved by many legendary stars, such as Henry, Suarez, Rooney, and Ronaldo.

英超目前单赛季进球纪录分别是希勒在1994-95赛季的34球，当时英超有22支球队，踢42轮联赛。进入到20支球队38轮后则是萨拉赫在2017-18赛季的32球。

With Nunez at the age of 23, Salah at the same age is still trying to prove himself in Rome, while Mane has just made his name in Southampton and has not yet been bought by Liverpool.

In Liverpool's first full season, Suarez scored 31 goals in 29 appearances and 11 starts.

But at that time, Liverpool was still deeply in the quagmire of being suppressed by Manchester United and the sky was dark. Not to mention the stable competition for the championship, they often lost to Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and other three giants in the fourth round.

It is different now. The strong revival in recent years, coupled with the two domestic cup champions last season and the UEFA Champions League Double Asia, made fans have very high expectations for the new season.

The fans of the giants are so picky. If a player wants to gain a foothold in the giants, he must also withstand the huge doubts from the outside world.

This is also an important reason why the two head coaches Gerrard and Mourinho did not approve of Chen Xiaoliang joining the giants prematurely.

Not to mention young players, even many famous players cannot withstand the endless challenges and abuse from fans and the media, and eventually their mentality collapses and their careers go in another direction.

For example, Torres and Shevchenko, the two forwards who switched to Chelsea, could not return to the scoring state of their heyday after failing to score consecutively.

At this time, when the two teammates on the wing tried to attack the Roman defense in turn, Nunez, who was excellent in speed and body, began to increase his running range.

Liverpool's three arrows in the frontcourt all have the ability to advance from the side and attack from the center. Therefore, under Nunes' active pull and retreat, the positions of Salah and Firmino have also changed accordingly.

In the 34th minute, Dybala received a cross from Kwa outside the penalty area, and his left-footed long-range shot was blocked by Konate. Liverpool counterattacked to the left.

Nunez holds the ball from the side, dribbles the ball and squeezes past Spinazzola, overtakes from the outside, and then enters the penalty area and crosses the goal!
The ball rolled directly in front of Patricio who was defending the near corner. Firmino in the middle and Salah in the back hit the goal at the same time, but both fell to the ground and missed the ball. Finally the ball rolled over the other sideline.

The neutral fans who had been guarding the screen for a long time were waiting for this scene.

【Is this a shot or a cross】

[Pushing too far away looks like a cross pass]

There are endless comments and barrages like this.

Slanting to the east, swinging to the west, turning to the south, sticking to the north, and the aircraft carrier in the middle, Nunez, as one of the top five in football, has shouldered the important task of contributing a week of jokes to countless fans. Every move on the field will be watched and magnified by the fans , If you don’t pay attention, it will be made into emoticons and animations and circulated in major forums and sports pages.

Three minutes later, Liverpool made a comeback in the positional battle.

Fabinho split the side in the middle, Arnold on the right stepped in and received the ball, took a few steps and passed it directly to Salah in front of him.

Malaysia and Enzo formed a double-team, Salah dribbled the ball horizontally and cut in, and Chen Xiaoliang immediately made up for it.

Suddenly, three Roma players double-teamed Salah at the front of the penalty area.

At this time, Roma's defenders were all facing the left side, observing the advancement of the ball, and Nunes took advantage of this, on the left side of the penalty area, from behind Smalling and diagonally forward behind Gwadiol .

Salah kicked suddenly before being pressed by the three, and the ball rolled quickly from the middle of Malaysia and Enzo to the penalty area!
Seeing the ball coming towards him, Gwadiol just reacted and wanted to take a step forward to destroy it. Unexpectedly, Nunez, who had already ambushed behind him, rushed up, knocked the heel of his right foot, and the ball brushed against the near goal The column rolled into the goal!

Suddenly, Anfield was shaken!
In the KOP stand where diehards gathered, countless faithful men and women roared, undressed, raised their arms, and embraced!
Such a wonderful goal, such a tacit cooperation, this is what Liverpool fans imagine Nunes looks like!

Klopp turned around and raised his fists at the supporters behind him!
Every goal of Nunes can relieve him of a layer of pressure, and every highlight of Salah can also indicate that the team is back on track!

Gwadiol shook his head and raised his right hand to signal to his teammates, meaning that he was watching the ball but not the person, and Nunes hit a blind spot of his vision.

Chen Xiaoliang waved his hand, pointed at himself, and took the responsibility.

The three people who double-teamed Salah just now all committed the common problems when multiple people defend. They felt that the opponent would definitely pass the ball if they played more and less, or their teammates would definitely press down. In the end, no one made a move. Watch the double-teamed opponent play the ball.

When kick-off again, the time has reached 39 minutes.

Liverpool, who were leading again, did not launch a high-post press again, but they did not give Roma any chance to counterattack. They started to control the ball as soon as they got the ball. Although Chen Xiaoliang and Dybala both got a long-range shot, they were both blocked. Alisson, who is in good form, struggled to block it.

The game then came to halftime.

In the locker room, Mourinho didn't mention much about the two conceded goals.

Patricio's shot was really helpless. Goalkeepers are also human. No matter how strong a goalkeeper is, it is impossible for him to make no mistakes in his life. Occasionally, it is inevitable to have a few buttery hands.

And Salah and Nunez's connecting goal does not mean that there is a problem with the team's defense. This kind of goal is the same as scoring a very corner shot from 35 meters away that the goalkeeper cannot save. A flash of genius.

But what upset Mourinho was the team's offensive problem.

Chen Xiaoliang's catches in the middle are only about half of what he normally does in games. Although Bajcetic "contributed" to a penalty kick, his stalking with all his strength really increased his teammate's chances of passing the ball to Chen Xiaoliang. difficulty.

Although Kewa's wing breakthrough was sharp, it could not be converted into an effective goal after entering the penalty area.

Dybala has no advantage in the air. Facing Liverpool's central defender, his ability to compete for the top is almost zero, and he has to face Zimikas' close defense at close range. Among them, the fulcrum and offensive functions are greatly reduced.

Klopp also obviously made a response when arranging the two central defenders. Since Kva is active on the left, he needs a lot of space for movement and space for the ball on the left side of the penalty area. Sesco is therefore in the tactical arrangement. , once Kwa breaks through with the ball, he will move to the right side, and this is Van Dijk's defensive area.

Mourinho also does not blame Sesco. After all, it is obviously unrealistic to expect a 19-year-old and 5-month-old center to overthrow a former Shiyiwei.

He started to hesitate in the first half, hesitated and hesitated.

He had a tactical plan in mind very early on, but what he originally thought of was to use it to win by surprise in the Champions League knockout round against those giants with super state and strength.

But today's game is too critical, he can no longer hesitate.

So, under the surprised eyes of the team members, while listening quietly and carefully, he used the magnetic stickers on the tactical board to reveal the long-awaited tactical arrangement.

In the locker room on the other side, Klopp is also in full swing. If it is Liverpool in the past few seasons, leading by one goal at home may mean that not only can the victory be secured, but also the victory can be pursued in the second half.

However, this season's ups and downs, and the ups and downs are greater than the ups and downs, so he must respond to Rome's tactics in the second half in advance.

But when the two sides returned to the field and the referee Stiller whistled again, Klopp never dreamed, or everyone who followed the Roma game didn't expect that Roma's striker was gone!
Sesco actually appeared in a position between the central midfielder and the shadow forward!
And in front of him, Chen Xiaoliang, who was wearing No. 33, stood at the front!

But Chen Xiaoliang is not a striker, because his position and running are closer to the midfielder Fabinho, rather than the two central defenders behind.

This is obviously kicking the midfielder.

But Klopp, and even the four guests in the live broadcast room couldn't help asking: What is this formation? !

As senior football practitioners, they certainly know that this is a no-front formation, but how can it be useful to play with the center forward retreating behind the front midfielder? !
Soon, Rome revealed the answer with practical actions.

Gwadiol made a long pass. After the ball crossed half the court forward, Sesco, who is 195 tall and has excellent bounce, easily overwhelmed Fabinho, who was 188 tall. He turned the ball behind him to the left rib Chen Xiaoliang who came forward.

Bajcetic was still stalking, Chen Xiaoliang grabbed the ball in front of him and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area.

Bajcetic pulled, squeezed, and tried his best to interfere with Chen Xiaoliang, but Chen Xiaoliang insisted on resisting his harassment with his body until he stepped on the penalty area line.

Konate blocked Chen Xiaoliang's shot in advance, and then kept moving sideways, waiting for Chen Xiaoliang to approach.

Kwa on the left and Dybala on the right led the full-backs defending themselves from the ribs on both sides to Liverpool's penalty area.

Van Dijk, who had been playing anti-aircraft artillery for half a game, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. It was no longer Cesko who was the fulcrum who was rushing towards him, but Dybala who was taking the ground route.

And Dybala's playing style is a typical style of not having close contact with any tall central defenders, and focusing on space and flexible positioning.

The same is true for Kwa on the other side. His situation is better than Dybala, because the central defender Konate on his side went to block Chen Xiaoliang.

When there was chaos in the penalty area, Fabinho at the top of the penalty area was also surrounded.

Who should I guard against?

Was it the lagging Sesko who was wandering beside him?
Or is it Chen Xiaoliang who has rushed to the penalty area line and may shoot at any time?

Or quickly withdraw to the inside of the penalty area to defend against Kwa?

In front of him are the more ignorant Thiago and the three forwards. They are preparing to use their physical strength after the intermission to continue to attack Roma's backcourt at a high position. How come Roma directly bypassed everyone with a big kick? Hit the hinterland of your own penalty area?

Klopp just felt that he had never seen this trick before. He thought over and over again, and the figure became clearer and clearer, and the name seemed to be coming out, but it always seemed to be stuck in the throat, only missing a little but just couldn't remember it.

It's a flash, and it will give him a chance to nostalgia.

Chen Xiaoliang pushed with his right foot, and the ball rolled from Konate's crotch, and Kwa, who threw off Arnold, was already approaching the near post when he received the ball!

Alisson immediately moved towards the near post at full speed. Van Dijk had no choice but to throw Dybala and rush towards Kwa!
Kwa pushed the inner instep of his right foot forward, and the ball passed through the fingertips of Alisson, who was struggling to throw down, and the toes of Van Dijk, who fell to the ground and tackled, and then followed by Dybala and shot in front of the goal!

The ball is in!
Dybala scored twice!

The mood of the Liverpool fans who had just been excited for more than 20 minutes fell to the bottom again.

In the past few months, they have witnessed tragedies, rollovers, reversals, or various opportunities at Anfield.

It seems that the battle situation in front of us is going in that direction again.

Klopp's heart was chilling, he never expected that the first attack after Roma's change in the second half destroyed all the arrangements of his midfielder in the locker room!
What kind of high-position press, what kind of defense against high-ball passes from the middle, what kind of protection at the front of the penalty area, a long pass from the backcourt to outside the penalty area, and across the half-court made everything come to naught!

But he still couldn't remember who that familiar person was.

It's a pity that he couldn't watch the broadcast while directing the game, because in the live broadcast room, the famous Manchester United star Ferdinand made it clear.

Mourinho is using Sesco as Fellaini and Chen Xiaoliang as Rooney!
But he didn't expect that when Chen Xiaoliang assisted in explaining this tactic in the midfield locker room, he also used the allusion of Tian Ji's horse racing!
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, the "medium horse" Sesco, who has no advantage in the high-altitude ball with the "top horse" Van Dijk, took the initiative to retreat, and went to fight the high-altitude ball with the "lower horse" Fabinho. Once the backcourt encountered Liverpool's high pressure and Chen Xiaoliang was stared by Bajcetic and couldn't play the ball safely, he would directly go to the frontcourt to find Sesco.

Sesco used his air superiority and back-up ability to force Liverpool's midfielder, and then Chen Xiaoliang, who switched to the midfielder, took the second penalty.

The two-point kick has a unique advantage, that is, it is unpredictable. Unlike a direct pass, it can be predicted through the path of the ball after the ball is taken, and even the angle and posture of the player's foot before passing the ball.

Who knows where Cesko's ball will hit Chen Xiaoliang's front, back, left, and right, which makes Bajcetic completely unpredictable.

However, Chen Xiaoliang, who gets along with Cesko almost day and night and practice every day, can rely on his super tacit understanding to ask for a position in the second place in the first place.

Once Chen Xiaoliang gets the ball, he advances as close to the penalty area as possible. With his long-range shooting ability, it is impossible for Liverpool's central defenders not to come out to block, and then the wingers on both sides enter the penalty area and become inside forwards, ready to respond to Chen Xiaoliang's strikes The ball ends the attack, or it can be passed to Cesco for a shot after he re-inserts into the penalty area.

And because Chen Xiaoliang and Sesco are not in the forward position, if Liverpool's two central defenders want to defend them, the offside line of the entire team will be greatly exposed to the attacking range of the wingers on both sides of Roma, especially the right side. Arnold on the road was almost hit by Kwa.

On the surface, the core of this routine seems to be Cesko, but in fact it is Chen Xiaoliang who really poses a threat.

Chen Xiaoliang's forward movement not only allows him to directly threaten the goal with a shot after receiving the ball, but also use the pass to help the winger create a threat.

When Liverpool was in possession of the ball, a front midfielder with almost endless physical strength, stealing and interception ability and super abnormal ability kept pressing back and forth against their backcourt, making it impossible for the entire backcourt to control the ball with peace of mind.

If there is no Chen Xiaoliang, even if Cesko can reach the ball, can't control the ball at the second point, or can't play a threat after controlling the ball, it will be of no avail. Chong Hang.

Four minutes later, Roma repeated the old trick. Spinazzola got the ball from the right and then made a long pass to Cesco. Ashes.

Chen Xiaoliang slanted to the right, came to Tiago who was back on defense, and used a rhythm change, suddenly broke through from slow to fast, Dybala cruised close, and Kwa ran far.

Van Dijk could only rush forward like Konate just now, trying to block the space where Chen Xiaoliang could directly kick.

Fabinho immediately retreated to the position of central defender to defend.

Chen Xiaoliang, who dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, but always had half his body space to shoot, brought it inside the penalty area, swung his right foot back slightly, Van Dijk put his hands behind his back and put it on his chest, Thiago stretched his left leg Block to the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang didn't shoot!Instead, he rubbed a short high ball back!

Near the penalty spot, a figure like a bomber roared and took off under the support of the wingmen on both sides!

The light hit him, and as he swooped down, his back completely covered Fabinho, who was looking up with frightened eyes!

Cesko's header, like a dive bomber's sudden upward swing after diving to the bombing distance, blasted the ball towards the goal with the fastest speed!
The header from such a close-range return pass seems to be like a penalty kick, so Alisson can only rely on his subconscious to reach out to block it.

"Oh!!!" Ferdinand stood up and cheered in the live broadcast room!

Capello couldn't help applauding too!
Corresponding to the sighs and shakes of Carragher's lonely Anfield loyalists!
In less than 5 minutes, Roma activated their center and offense with a miraculous change, and reversed the score!
2 is better than 3!

3000 Roman expeditionary troops danced in the stands.

It's cool to win.

Big wins are even better.

But there is nothing better than a soul-stirring perseverance and turning defeat into victory!
Klopp was in a hurry. Looking at the Roma players who were celebrating on the field, he realized that his tactical arrangement had been completely disrupted.

He looked at the bench, and then at Chen Xiaoliang, thinking quickly in his mind how to restrain this midfield genius who made him think hard before he found a way to restrain himself.

He knew that if this continued, another tragedy would be waiting for him.
