Green Journey

Chapter 432 The front court is picturesque, but the back court is tofu!
"Liverpool this year, under the guidance of Klopp, actually they are very similar to Manchester City in many ways!"

"for example……"

Before Zhang Lu finished speaking, Zhan Jun interjected: "For example, the frontcourt offense is picturesque, and the backcourt defense is tofu!"

"Haha!" Zhang Lu was caught off guard and burst into laughter.

Although Zhan Jun is a diehard Liverpool fan, he is also merciless when criticizing Liverpool. He continued: "Especially the interaction between Matip, Lovren and Henderson is frightening every time. .”

"Once Henderson's forward ball is blocked and he starts to pass back to the backcourt infinitely, Matip will change his horse and move forward. In addition, Lovren, a middle-aged biker, has a bad brain and often commits twitches. It’s a walking bean curd dregs project!”

"Although Klavan has a brilliant performance, it's just that. It's not cheap!"

"Compared with last season, Liverpool's defense has improved." Zhang Lu said with a cheerful smile.

"Yeah!" Zhan Jun looked at Zhang Lu and nodded seriously, "It has indeed improved, from soy milk to tofu dregs!"

"Haha!" Zhang Lu laughed again.

But as soon as the two spoke, Liverpool slapped Zhang Lu in the face with practical actions, and at the same time showed the demeanor of Liverpool's tofu defense.

In the 4th minute of the game, Manchester City wanted to play all the way up the left after getting the ball in the backcourt.

But Liverpool's press was really fast. The ball was passed along the wing less than four meters before being blocked by Liverpool's press.

Not only that, but also lost the ball.

Fortunately, Chu Zheng, who had retreated along the ribs, quickly chased after him, and with the assistance of Yaya Toure, Kolarov, Fernandinho and others, he took the ball back.

Seeing that Liverpool had five people in this area, Chu Zheng knew very well that the probability of directly penetrating through the defense was not high.

So he pointed to the backcourt without stopping the ball and directly passed it back.

Kolarov followed up immediately, and then crossed the ball to Bravo in the penalty area.

Liverpool took advantage of the trend and pressed forward, launching their tried and tested high press this season, with a clear division of labor in the frontcourt.

Firmino entered the penalty area from the ribs and went straight to Bravo, and the others cut off the ball near Bravo.

Bravo was a little flustered, stopped on the left sideline of the small penalty area, quickly looked up and took a look, and then drove the ball to the middle circle with big feet.

On the center line in the center circle area, Klavan quickly moved forward to unload the ball, and then made a direct pass from the ribs to the left before De Bruyne came up.

But Liverpool's attack also failed this time.

Manchester City's defensive focus shifted equally quickly. Coutinho, who had the ball in his ribs, was surrounded by Fernandinho, Sabaleta or Sterling in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Emrejan approaching from the middle, Coutinho quickly crossed.

Emrejan already felt the pressure from Fernandinho around him. He didn't dare to stop the ball, but directly passed back to Milner behind the center line from the wing.

Soon, Milner came along the wing, forming a triangle position on the wing with Coutinho and Emrejan, and passed continuously.

However, Manchester City's defensive formation was 4411 after the players settled down. The two defensive lines in the midfield and backcourt were very close together, blocking Liverpool tightly outside the 30-meter area.

Soon the ball returned from the ribs to Milner's feet on the wing.

Mirta stopped next to the sideline after getting the ball, because the sideway couldn't be penetrated at all.

Manchester City has six people defending on the right flank of their own side.

They have no advantage at all in 3-on-6, and a strong play will only lose the ball in vain, giving Manchester City a chance to counterattack.

Milner saw it very clearly, so he turned back, trying to pass back to Emrejan behind him and divert the attacking direction.

But he didn't give Emrejan time, he turned around and passed.

At this moment, the tacit understanding of passing the ball between the two made a mistake.

Before passing the ball, Emrejan kept moving towards the sideline, but the ball rolled from his original position and went straight to the right rib of the center circle.

On the center line, Aguero quickly started.

At the same time, Klavan also headed for the ball.

"Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing Milner send a knife mountain ball, all the home fans at Anfield suddenly felt ruthless.

In the blink of an eye, Aguero and Klavan decided the winner.

Although Aguero's speed is not fast, but the starting speed within three meters is extremely fast, enough to kill Klavan in seconds, and he rushed to the ball first.

Clava knew at a glance that Aguero wanted to take advantage of the situation and the ball was passed, so he turned his heart and fell directly to the ground and put his body on the ground, trying to stop Aguero with a yellow card foul.

However, in the next second, under the eyes of everyone, Aguero directly picked the ball forward with his right foot the moment he touched the ball.

Then Aguero was tripped.

The referee Paulson mouthed, but seeing De Bruyne behind Aguero quickly followed up, he could grab the ball in front of Emre Can, who was chasing the ball in from the wing, and he quickly signaled that the attack was favorable.

In the next second, De Bruyne ran past Aguero and Klavan.

Klavan wanted to reach out and grab De Bruyne's foot, but he didn't dare.

He knew very well that the blocking foul just now was already a yellow card, and if he did it again, he would be directly game over!
It is not terrible to lose a goal. If there is no one, the game will be over.

"Chance!!!!!!!!!!"

"Lovren is the only one in Liverpool's backcourt!!!!" In the LeTV live broadcast room, the voices of Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu instantly raised their voices.

At the same time, on the arc in the middle of Liverpool's half, Lovren chased back frantically and leaned towards De Bruyne.

At this time, in the broadcast footage, it can be clearly seen that he is in Manchester City's half, near the middle circle in the middle, eight or nine meters away from Lovren, Chu Zheng ejected and started, and quickly inserted along the middle.

Seeing Chu Zheng's bloody sprint speed, everyone knows that Chu Zheng will definitely be able to respond to De Bruyne in the middle in time, and may even arrive early.

At that time, as long as De Bruyne crosses the ball in front of Chu Zheng, it may be a one-handed ball directly.

Behind Chu Zheng, Liverpool's new signing was also desperately chasing after him, but compared with Chu Zheng's speed, it gave people the feeling of a tortoise and the hare. Not only did he fail to catch up, but he was pulled further and further away by Chu Zheng.

But soon, the hearts of the Manchester City fans who came to Anfield with the team also picked up.

The problem is on De Bruyne's side.

De Bruyne took advantage of the situation after catching up with the ball, but De Bruyne's speed was not fast, so he was quickly caught up by Emrejan from behind.

On Lovren's side, seeing Emrejan entangled De Bruyne, he was immediately relieved.

But just when he was about to continue to lean in and grab Emrejan back and forth, De Bruyne moved.

Under the eyes of everyone, De Bruyne, who was carrying Emrejan behind him, slowed down again and again. However, when he entered the 30-meter area from his right rib, De Bruyne, who could bow left and right, stepped forward with his left foot. Yang suddenly made a cross pass from the outside of his foot.

At this moment, Lovren, who saw the ball turning in front of him, panicked, and instantly realized that there were Manchester City players following behind him.

But he couldn't figure it out. He remembered it clearly. He turned around and chased him. The nearest Manchester City player was Chu Zheng, but Chu Zheng was at least ten meters away from him. He didn't believe that Chu Zheng's off-ball speed would be so fast. Only a few seconds.

However, if you don't believe in evil, you can't do it. When you turned around, Chu Zheng had already come up, and the speed of the meteor's sprint made him feel a pressure on his face.

"Loris!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lovren knew that it would be too late for him to turn around and start again, so he quickly roared.

But there is no need for him to shout, the goalkeeper Karius in the Liverpool penalty area has already attacked in advance.

In a blink of an eye, Karius rushed to the left rib area at the top of the arc.

On Chu Zheng's side, he was still sprinting towards the ball with great strides.

Seeing Karius come out, Chu Zheng immediately changed his cruel plan to kill Karius with a pendulum after taking the ball.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chu Zheng rushed to the ball ahead of Karius, stepped forward for the ball, and directly scored the ball alone.

But in everyone's eyes, Chu Zheng's ball was a little too big.

"Karius was passed!!!"

"Oh!!" Zhang Lu, who was staring at the big TV in the studio, patted the table in regret.

"Chu Zheng is a little anxious!" Seeing the ball go straight to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area, Zhan Jun, who was very complicated in his heart, also followed.

Even if Chu Zheng could grab the ball before it crossed the baseline, there would be no shooting angle.

Although Chu Zheng scored a zero-degree shot, it was too difficult to score this kind of shot every time.

As long as Chu Zheng hesitates a little, Liverpool's return players can immediately block the goal for you.

However, in the next second, Chu Zheng didn't stop the ball before and after chasing the bottom line. He directly used the inside of his left foot to do everything, and the ball went straight to the goal along the bottom line.

In a blink of an eye, the ball passed by the near post, then crossed the goal line bit by bit, and hit the far side net.

But Chu Zheng rushed out because he couldn't stop the car.

"boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing Chu Zheng succeed in pushing the goal at a zero-degree angle before the baseline, there was a huge sound wave mixed with exclamation and annoyance in the Anfield Stadium!
"The ball went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!" In the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun also became excited.

"Chu Zheng's 13th Premier League goal!!!!"

At the scene, Guardiola was also excited by the speed of Chu Zheng's impact this time.

On the football field, apart from the gorgeous offense, it was Chu Zheng's back-to-forward attack that most stimulated the fans' attention and ignited people's emotions.

Seeing Chu Zheng calmly push the ball into the Liverpool goal, Guardiola threw an uppercut on the spot, and then jumped up, looking extremely excited.

Beside him, Klopp smiled with his big white teeth bared, his eyes full of admiration for Chu Zheng.

Klopp has actually been envious of Chu Zheng for a long time.

In his tactical design, Chu Zheng is actually his dream midfielder.

It's a pity that after he came to Liverpool, his situation was almost exactly the same as when he took over Dortmund, and his finances were extremely embarrassing.

This summer, Klopp did not make an offer to Chu Zheng at all.

It's not that he didn't want to, but that he was powerless.

He knew very well that Liverpool couldn't afford Chu Zheng.

So Klopp never had any contact with Chu Zheng from the beginning to the end.

Sometimes Klopp really envies Guardiola a little bit.

Look at others, from Barcelona to Bayern to Manchester City, one is more arrogant than the other, and Guardiola has never made Guardiola worry about money.

As for him, from Mainz to Dortmund to Liverpool, Temiao became poorer one by one, and he had to worry about money every time he transferred.

On the court, Chu Zheng jumped back from behind the billboard, and hugged and celebrated with all the teammates gathered around.

Looking at the Manchester City players hugging and celebrating in the camera, Zhan Jun smiled and said: "Aguero's ingenious forward move is too important. Although he failed to avoid Klavan's foul, it left Manchester City behind This is your chance to fight back!"

"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded, "De Bruyne's pass is also ingenious, and it is extremely concealed. This is the advantage of being able to shoot left and right!"

"Chu Zheng's speed is fast enough, I think he can compete with Monaco's Mbappe!"

"I guess I can't do it!" Zhang Lu shook her head, "Although Chu Zheng's starting speed and acceleration are comparable to Mbappe's, his top speed is not as fast as Mbappe's!"

"That's enough, football is not track and field, 30 meters is enough!" Zhan Jun laughed happily.

Not long after, the referee gave a yellow card to Klavan, who deliberately blocked the foul, and the game restarted.

On the field, after Liverpool kicked the ball, Klopp stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field continuously. The excited gestures seemed to be fighting with someone.

The meaning conveyed by Klopp is actually very simple, that is, to let Liverpool players scramble and stare at Manchester City's goal.

As the game time passed, Liverpool and Manchester City played more and more openly on the field. Either you were robbing me or I was robbing you.

Although there were relatively few threatening attacks, the rhythm of the transition between offense and defense was really fast.

Therefore, the fans didn't feel that the game was a bit boring, but very exciting, which made the Anfield stadium louder and louder.

Soon, the second goal came.

In the 9th minute of the game, Chu Zheng directly started the breakthrough mode after getting the ball in the middle circle of Liverpool's half.

After Chu Zheng passed Coutinho, who fell to his death, and future shield striker Firmino, he saw that the center was full of Liverpool players, so he had no choice but to shift the ball to the left.

Klopp is obviously guarding against his breakthrough in the middle today, to be precise, he is preventing everyone in Manchester City from breaking through in the middle.

As a result, Kolarov, who killed thousands of knives, casually passed the ball back to the ribs from the side and did not use enough force. Wijnaldum, who turned around and pressed forward, rushed to the side and grabbed Fernandini. Ao jumped up and threw the ball to the left.

On the right side of Liverpool's center circle, Firmino took the ball with his back, and Yaya Toure was right behind him.

As a result, Firmino dialed the ball to the right after stopping the ball and turned to cross the belt. When he ran to the arc of the middle circle, he suddenly kicked a pass with the outside of his foot.

The ball was passed directly to the right rib of Manchester City's central circle.

Firmino's ingenious transfer directly avoided the siege of Manchester City's central circle.

After taking the ball, Coutinho leaned directly to the side, and continued to touch the ball with his right foot, slowly pushing back Zabaleta in front of him.

Coming to the area on the left side of the upper corner of the penalty area, Coutinho suddenly swung his left foot, and the ball turned an arc and went straight to the middle of the penalty area.

The landing point is on the penalty spot.

In the next second, Wijnaldum used the power of the sprint to reach the landing point and took off directly, rushing to the top of the ball before Kolarov.

Suddenly the ball went straight in from the left side of the goal!
"oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Suddenly Anfield shook again, and the cheers of Liverpool fans were deafening!
On the sidelines, Klopp saw the team equalize, and instantly threw three punches from the farmer, detonating Anfield again!

Guardiola next to him rubbed his face with his hands, his egg hurts!
"Kolarov was responsible for the ball. You can see that he just stood there and waited for the ball to come over. He didn't make any moves to meet the ball and make a clearance."

"As a result, Wijnaldum suddenly jumped in front of him, and it was a beautiful top rush!"

"Bravo also once again exposed his shortcoming of lack of height. He saved the ball very quickly, but his arms were not long enough, and he suffered from his short stature."

Zhan Jun nodded and said: "It seems that the two heads of the tofu project are going to explode with each other today!"

"Haha!" Zhang Lu was amused again, and raised two fingers, "The two goals were made by taking advantage of the mistakes made by the opponent's defense."

"If we continue to play like this, the scene will become more and more open, and the fight is about offensive efficiency. Whoever is more efficient may win the final victory!"
