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

Chapter 298 Super Super Huge Huge Mistake

On the field, Liverpool began to shrink their formation.

Their frontcourt is no longer pressing, but retreat as far as possible, and at the same time, the back line is premised, and the front, middle and rear lines are pressed tighter to deal with Rome's long pass and backcourt play.

Klopp also replaced Thiago with the veteran Milner. Of course, his role on the field was not to lob the ball with Sesco, but to mark Chen Xiaoliang with Bajcetic.

The advantage of the compact formation is that when Liverpool responds to the high-altitude ball, the nearest players have time to support and are grabbing the second spot.

But the disadvantage is that Roma's backcourt can comfortably control the ball and launch a positional attack in a timely manner.

This plunged the game between the two sides into a midfield competition. As long as Roma tries to pass the ball forward, it will face Liverpool's pursuit and interception.

Once Liverpool has the ball, they will launch a counterattack as quickly as possible.

In the 55th minute, Cristant wanted to pass Chen Xiaoliang for offside, but the ball was intercepted by Firmino, and the Brazilian immediately dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack.

Facing Cristant's close defense, Firmino dribbled the ball diagonally all the way, taking Cristant completely out of his defense zone, and then passed a diagonal pass to Nunes who ran into the gap s.

Smalling turned sideways, bent over, moved his legs slightly, and watched Nunes's movements intently.

Salah crossed into the penalty area from the right and pretended to receive the ball, but Gwadiol completely blocked the space behind him.

Nunes made a trip to the right and pushed the ball forward. After receiving the ball, Salah knocked it back. The two made a horizontal kick to the wall. !
Smalling stretched out his leg to block, the ball bounced upwards on his leg, then flew up in a strange parabola, and then fell slowly downwards, not only changed in height, but also refracted in direction.

Patricio, who was ready to save the far post, immediately adjusted his center of gravity, leaped, and held the ball out of the baseline with his left hand on the edge of the crossbar!
Liverpool corner!
Chen Xiaoliang, who turned around to observe the ball, could see it clearly.

He ran back to his penalty area to participate in the corner kick defense, and then quietly said to Smalling: "Brother, he wants to shoot, you block him from the near corner, and be careful not to let him hit the crotch ball. As for the far corner, you can let it go." .”

Smalling nodded, because he also found out that Patricio was fully prepared for the shot from the far corner just now, but he was blocked by himself and turned into a lob shot, which almost missed him. Fly into your own goal.

Among the various offensive routines, corner kicks can be regarded as an offensive method that Liverpool is relatively good at.

There are many high points in the team, and the central defender's ability to grab points is also considered strong, and he has the ability to attack again after grabbing the second spot.

Therefore, in the pre-match arrangement, Mourinho responded with layers of defense in a targeted manner, and even Sesco was asked by him to return to the penalty area to participate in corner kick defense.

Smalling stared at Nunes, while Gwadiol stared at Van Dijk.

They had already conceded a corner kick at the beginning of the first half, and Patricio couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Shot is the second social death method in the goalkeeper's social death rankings.

The No. 1 of course is to pass the ball directly to the opponent and the opponent scores.

With Stiller's whistle, Milner took a tactical corner kick and passed it to Salah who was nearby, and Salah made a pass!
The ball is flat and fast, it is the front point!
Van Dyke suddenly charged forward, and then took off high!

"Good shot! Nice defense!"

Ferdinand shouted in the studio.

"Gvardiol has the potential to become one of the best central defenders in European football in the next ten years!"

With this ball, Gwadiol overwhelmed Van Dijk and headed the ball out of the penalty area first.

Several players in the frontcourt of Roma rushed forward as if they heard the charge, while Kwa on the left was chasing the ball closest to him.

But Salah was faster. He realized that he couldn't control the ball before Kwa caught up with the ball, so he simply fell to the ground with a sliding tackle and broke the ball out of bounds.

In just a few seconds, Chen Xiaoliang, who had rushed from the penalty area to the position close to the arc of the middle circle, had to stop.

The four people in the studio looked at Chen Xiaoliang in surprise.

With that expression, some shake their heads, some involuntarily say "WOW", and some look at other people, wondering if others are as surprised as themselves.

But there is no way, Chen Xiaoliang's sprint speed from defense to offense is so fast, even Gerrard, who has been with him for a season, can't believe that this kid is so fast now.

If the ball hadn't been destroyed by Salah just now, and after receiving the ball, Kowa lobbed it to the frontcourt. Chen Xiaoliang, who had already picked up his speed, could immediately run behind Arnold and Milner who stayed behind, and then it would be a one-on-one match with Alisson. Solo game.

Malaysia throws the ball, which is handed to Enzo, and Salah goes up to press.

Enzo crosses to Cristante, who hangs forward to Sesco.

Cesko did the same, headed the ball backwards, and the ball landed at Chen Xiaoliang's feet, but Bajcetic and Milner immediately formed a double-team attack on Chen Xiaoliang!

Not only that, but Fabinho didn't seem to focus on the air battle with Cesko, but defended symbolically, and immediately turned back to form a three-person double-team with the two of them against Chen Xiaoliang!
Although Milner is 37 years old, he was able to play for Manchester City in the Jinyuan era for 5 years, and then wear the second captain's armband in the revived Liverpool. It can be seen that he has two brushes.

Apart from other things, Klopscher had to send him on the field just because of the attitude of the game.

Chen Xiaoliang didn't dare to be careless, pulled the ball back, avoided Bajcetic's steal, and then quickly distributed it to Dybala on the right before the other two made defensive moves.

When Milner came on the field, he knew that this must be aimed at him, but neither he nor Mourinho on the sidelines thought that Klopp would be so crazy that he used a three-person double-team to target Chen Xiaoliang!
This is entirely the meaning of using the entire midfield configuration to limit Chen Xiaoliang alone, and once Chen Xiaoliang's activities can be strangled, even if Sesco can head the ball, the threat will be greatly reduced immediately.

After the ball was played, Fabinho retreated to the penalty area, Milner wandered to help defend on the side with the ball, and Bajcetic remained close to Chen Xiaoliang.

Although the three of them dispersed, none of them were too far away from Chen Xiaoliang, which meant that once the ball was passed back, the three of them could immediately form a double team again.

The double-teaming in the center caused the midfielder to have no time to take care of the defense on the side. Salah and Firmino retreated sharply to help the full-backs defend Kwa and Dybala on both sides.

In this formation, there is only one Nunes who is on standby in the defense, looking for an opportunity to counterattack, and the others are all invested in the defense.

Facing the marking of Zimikas and Firmino one after the other, Dybala lacked the speed advantage and could only pass the ball back to Enzo.

Enzo was a little happy in his heart. The frontcourt was firmly double-teamed, and he had no defensive pressure. In the future, his chances of getting the ball would be greatly increased, and he would be able to show his ability to advance and organize.

The three midfielders were all staring at Chen Xiaoliang, and Enzo, who was unstoppable, took the ball forward.

In an instant, he saw Kwa and Dybala thrusting from both ribs at the same time!
It's now!

Enzo immediately swung his legs to pass the ball, and rubbed his feet hard on the bottom of the ball, and the ball immediately flew to Kwa's running route!

Because it is rubbed on the bottom of the ball, the ball keeps spinning backwards while flying in the air. When it lands in front of Kwa, the distance of the ball bouncing forward is shorter than that of the same long pass!

This is also one of the favorite ways for offensive players to catch long passes!

But although Kwa ran stealthily and threw Arnold away, Konate judged the flight trajectory of the ball in advance, rushed over and stretched his legs to try to destroy the ball.

Seeing that the opportunity to attack was about to be lost, Kwa stretched his right foot forward and lightly touched the bottom of the ball. The ball immediately flew back over Konate's head!

Kewa continued to run, passing Konate who turned around with all his strength and wanted to chase back!
Catch the ball you padded!

Face Alisson!
Alisson blocked the near corner, the shot angle was too small!
Kwa passed back and wanted to pass to Dybala again!
Van Dijk stretched out his legs and touched the rolling ball, slightly changing the direction of the ball!
The ball landed in front of Chen Xiaoliang impartially!

One step inside the front restricted area line!

Bajcetic and Milner stretched their legs and tackled at the same time, trying to destroy the ball!
Chen Xiaoliang didn't make any adjustments, and immediately raised his right foot and shot!

It hit the outer instep!
The ball flew to the top right of the goal!
Alisson flew to the left of the goal to save, and the tip of his left finger touched the ball!
The ball changed direction and hit the post!
Sesko, Kristante and the others who watched everything passing by from behind couldn't help holding their heads in pity for a moment!

Many Liverpool fans raised their hands subconsciously, and the cheers from their throats had already gathered on their vocal cords.

Another moment later, the drama happened again, the ball bounced off the post, hit Alisson's head, and bounced up!
Alisson's first reaction after falling to the ground was to get up and hug the ball that bounced and floated down!

Players in the penalty area of ​​both sides raised their hands at the same time, but the meaning expressed was completely opposite.

Roma naturally complained that the ball had crossed the goal line as a whole, while Liverpool meant the exact opposite.

Stiller scolded his mother in his heart, why there are so many messy plots in this game, why can't he let him play a simple game in peace.

He looked at the bracelet on his left hand, but it didn't vibrate. Then he asked the video referee team through the headset, and the feedback he got was that he was confirming.

For this reason, he can only stop the game.

Soon, the video referee team gave feedback, and the results of the marking were displayed on the stadium and the live screen.

1 cm!

The vertical projection of the ball overlaps the goal line and the last 1 cm of the shadow!
It also means that the goal was indeed missed.

Faced with the penalty result determined by modern technology, the players on both sides had nothing to say. Chen Xiaoliang smiled and walked back slowly.

Alisson escaped with a sigh of relief.

2 to 3 at home, already 1 goal behind the visiting team Roma, if it concedes another goal, it will be another miserable night.

There was already light rain in the stadium at this time, and the cloudy and uncertain weather in the UK made rain games a common sight.

But fortunately, it is just a drizzle, but for professional players, it can help perspiration and lower body temperature.

Alisson threw the ball on the ground, and the referee Stiller blew his whistle just now, so he had to kick the ball.

He took a few steps back and looked at the distant frontcourt, where the teammates representing the red dots were running.

With Nunes' spot selected, he starts the run-up.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, looking at the sky...

But at the moment of kicking the ball, he saw a figure in a white jersey blocking him at some point in front of him!
Alisson is completely mechanical, or completely in a state of mechanical movement.

He subconsciously kicked the ball out according to the instructions sent by his brain just now, but subconsciously felt that something was wrong and something would happen if he did so, so he withdrew a little force the moment he kicked the ball out, trying to adjust the direction around Play this intrusive blocker.

But it was too late, the ball hit the leg of Chen Xiaoliang who was rushing forward to block it, and bounced high!

At that moment, Alisson's mind was blank, Klopp's breathing was suspended, and the air in Anfield was frozen.

The ball crossed a rainbow in the air, and then flew into Liverpool's goal with Alisson's gaze back and the gaze of everyone in the audience from a different angle!

There is no need to wait for Zhan Jun to speak, countless Red Country fans played a barrage of "super, super, huge, huge mistake" in the live broadcast room!

2 is better than 4!

Chen Xiaoliang also didn't expect that Alisson bravely saved his supplementary shot just now, but he was lucky to score a goal in a block at this moment!
For Liverpool, whether it is the coaching staff, players or fans, this ball has dealt a huge blow to the mentality.

Alisson walked back into the goal depressedly, kicked the ball out of the net, then put his hands on his hips, endured the gazes of countless people from the scene and through the screen, frowned helplessly, and shook his head.

His performance is like the epitome of Liverpool this season.

He often has amazing performances and still has super strength, but he always loses the chain at some inadvertent moments, ruins a good game, and turns victory into defeat.

Foti laughed and applauded excitedly on the sidelines: "Jose, your move is really powerful. I didn't expect Chen, who was pushed to the front midfielder position, to have this function."

Mourinho was in a good mood and asked casually, "What function?"

Forti: "Benzema, as it is said on the Internet, it only works on the opponent's goalkeeper to reduce the aura of intelligence."

The referee Stiller also silently said several times in his heart to express his surprise, and then blew the whistle to continue the game.

Liverpool did not give up and continued to attack hard after kick-off in the middle circle.

This is the quality and perseverance that a veteran giants should have, not to mention that at their home court, even if it seems that the defeat is certain, they must not surrender in front of diehard fans.

Bajcetic, who defended most of the time, also joined the attack, although he still kept a relatively close distance from Chen Xiaoliang.

Milner crossed him, and was suppressed by Chen Xiaoliang for most of the half. He defended hard but still couldn't stop the ball lost. The depressed Bajcetic shot from a long distance.

"Wow!"

Hearing Chen Xiaoliang's muffled cry, the ball hit him and bounced back.

Bajcetic catches the ball, shoots again in the air, Chen Xiaoliang stretches his legs and blocks again!

"Wow!"

Chen Xiaoliang groaned again.

This time the ball bounced to Milner's feet.

Seeing that he couldn't penetrate Chen Xiaoliang's defense, Milner wanted to hang a pass into the penalty area.

But after landing, Chen Xiaoliang counterattacked faster than he expected. Just as he picked up the ball, Chen Xiaoliang jumped up and stretched his legs to block the ball again!
"Woo!" There was another muffled cry.

This time the ball went straight over the touchline.

Three consecutive interceptions caused Liverpool fans to boo strongly. This boo was for their own players, expressing their dissatisfaction with their poor performance.

The 3000 Roma fans on the expedition to Liverpool cheered for Chen Xiaoliang in unison.

But just as Zimikas on the left was about to throw a throw-in, the referee Stiller blew to stop the game.

Chen Xiaoliang squatted down, his eyes were closed tightly, his hands had no place to rest, and his expression was painful.

Slow motion is coming soon.

The four celebrities in front of the screen, in the live broadcast room, and even countless fans watching the live broadcast were all stunned, and then a considerable percentage of people laughed uncontrollably!

It turned out that the three balls just now, Bajcetic's two long-range shots and Milner's cross, all hit Chen Xiaoliang's crotch!
The referee Stiller was very close and could see clearly.

Although the ball didn't hit him, he seemed to be there, and there was a faint phantom pain there.

Roma team doctor Manara ran in and asked Chen Xiaoliang how he was.

Chen Xiaoliang didn't say a word, or he didn't want to say a word.

This place hurts, so many people around the world are looking at it, but he can't reach out to rub it...

Luck, deep breathing, muscle exertion, everything he can do to relieve pain with "grace" and quietly.

In the live broadcast room, many people burst into a bullet screen while feeling distressed and laughing loudly:
