Chapter 220
The role of Gerrard in the frontcourt is firstly to roam around looking for long-range shooting opportunities to make up for Sterling's lack of solo ability on the front line, and at the same time to open up space for Lin Yi.The second is to let him counter-rob on the spot and increase the chances in the frontcourt.Now that he has withdrawn, there is only one less mobile turret in the frontcourt, and there is no high-intensity frontcourt pressing. As for opening up space-the opponent's defense line does not need to be opened up, it also exists naturally.

Relying on Lin Yi and Gerrard's running coverage to make up for the team's lack of manpower... But what is this practice?How to practice ten against eleven?Enough support?

Lin Yi didn't understand Klopp's thoughts, but since there was a balance of power on the scene, he didn't have any doubts for the time being.

At this time, you should think about how to attack.

The lack of manpower in the midfield can be made up by inserting from the back or returning to the frontcourt. At this time, seeing the opponent's defense line that can be strengthened at the beginning, Lin Yi gave up the idea of ​​returning.With fewer people in the frontcourt, it is impossible to break through such a thick defense. It is necessary to ensure that there are enough people in the frontcourt.And in this case, the task of passing through the midfield must be handed over to the defenders in the backcourt.

Lin Yi yelled at Henderson twice, which also made Henderson understand what he meant. Soon, the attack led by Henderson directly broke through the midfield.

Plugging in on the side to make up for the disadvantage in the midfield is originally a common method.Liverpool still have Lin Yi, Firmino and Sterling in the frontcourt, and they still have a huge advantage. Now, they have a player in the backcourt, so they naturally plan to fight Sunderland head-on.

At this time, Sunderland certainly would not give up the advantage they had, and they immediately launched a tighter defense.

Henderson's advance this time obviously has no effect.Giacherini stuck to him firmly, not giving him a chance to kick.On the one hand, Henderson was struggling to protect the ball. On the other hand, he was also looking for his teammates. At this time, midfielder Gerrard quickly jumped in. Henderson broke away from Jacherini, and when he lost his balance, he kicked the ball to Gerrard who was plugging in.

When Gerrard took the ball, he looked up and looked forward. There were almost no holes in the back line, and it was difficult for him to pass the ball to Sterling.In desperation, he had no choice but to give the ball to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was surrounded by Adam at this time, but Lin Yi still stretched out his feet.However, this time, instead of stopping the ball, he stepped on the ball directly and swiped the ball behind him.

Firmino got the ball there, and immediately made a diagonal pass, sending the ball directly to Sterling, but Sterling was guarded by O'Shea, and he kicked the ball back to Lin Yi who had inserted it.This time, Lin Yi made a diagonal pass to the right and gave the ball to Firmino who was in the middle!

This time Firmino didn't choose to pass the ball again. He took a step forward, raised his right foot, and shot towards the far corner of the goal!

Pantilimon fell to the ground in time, trying to intercept the ball with his feet.However, the speed of the ball was faster than he thought, and the ball still flew to the far corner.And after a clear and crisp impact of the goal post, the scene immediately burst into cheers!

"Firmino! He scored the equalizer goal for Liverpool! Now Liverpool don't have to worry about the home fall again! Liverpool defended the game!"—

at the end of the game,
It still ended with a 2-2.

After being tied by Liverpool, Sunderland also decisively chose to defend.It would be a big joke if the opponent sent off one person and was defeated by the opponent's reversal.And for them, getting a draw with the top team is considered a good result.

And after they shrunk their formation, the understaffed Liverpool really couldn't overcome their defense.In the end, 2-2 became a foregone conclusion.

Although he scored one point, this kind of game was obviously not what Liverpool wanted. A series of people being sent off also made Klopp pay attention to the cultivation of the defense line. Several defenders are capable, but they are a bit open and close. Even the style of Lovren, who he brought from the Bundesliga, has been a little bit affected.

But the house leak happened to be raining overnight, Klopp was still having a headache with the defense, and in a blink of an eye he found that his team was ushering in a wave of injuries!

The first to fall was Manquillo, who suffered a sudden strain during training, followed by Toure as a substitute, and the defense suddenly became stretched.

At the weekend, against Aston Villa, they sent out a lineup without Gerrard and Sterling.They entered the rotation list again because Gerrard had a relapse of an old injury and Sterling had a cold. They played too many games and it was not good. They played in the Champions League and needed a temporary rest.

In the end, Emre Can, the midfielder, had to fill Manquillo's position and serve as a defender!

And Liverpool, which is short of major generals, also played very difficult in this game. Not long after the game started, Westwood made a pass from the left. After Cleverley received the ball, he kicked the ball and sent it behind the defense!
Benteke received the pass, and Lovren's marking made a mistake at this moment. Benteke's shot from close range opened the scoring for Aston Villa!

"It seems that the long-term multi-line battle has also begun to affect Liverpool. Although they are stronger, they are also more tired. The first conceded the ball in two consecutive games. Obviously, Liverpool is not as strong as it was in the first half of the season."

After conceding a goal, Lovren also looked extremely depressed. He really shouldn't, how could he be so stupid?Let that guy pass like this
And just as frustrated as he was Royce.In the ball just now, Benteke was actually suspected of being offside.But Royce, who was marking Westwood, took a step back and made the team fail to make an offside. He was also one of the responsible persons for the conceded goal.

Obviously, the two teams played the most consecutive minutes, and the most fatigued players, in this game, began to have some lack of concentration due to fatigue.

Of course, Lin Yi is an exception!
The loss of physical strength is indeed a big problem. Although Klopp wants to rotate more, his rotation has never been a purposeless rotation.In fact, the most important players on the court, Lin Yi, Royce, and the players on the back line, are rarely rotated by him.And the result of this is that Lovren and Royce are far more fatigued than others, making them more tired.

The main reason is that Liverpool's main lineup can still be seen, and it is hard to say a word on the bench. It is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Klopp can only try to give players more rest time when he takes the lead in the game!
Physical reserve is also one of the biggest factors affecting a team's unstable performance. The relegation team can consider giving up the cup early and put all their energy into the league.The strong teams need to consider multi-line battles. In difficult times, eight games in a month are possible, and the physical and energy consumption is enough to prevent them from exerting their full strength.

When Lin Yi was thinking about this, he had already started to return to the midfield to catch the ball.

His move, for Liverpool, means one thing: he will run more and directly decide the outcome of the game.Royce also understood what he meant, and he himself knew that his state was not good enough, so he began to defend honestly in the backcourt and stopped attacking.

And he started to stay in the backcourt, which also liberated Emre Can in the backcourt: since someone is willing to defend behind, he can boldly plug in.

Liverpool's two wings have enough strong penetration ability, and Emre Can is a real midfielder, but this time he is replacing the injured Manquillo, and when Royce retreats, he can be liberated and make a bold assault forward——

His thrust was indeed very bold, and he only stopped when he advanced to the vicinity of the penalty area.And seeing that he couldn't get into the penalty area, he kicked the ball to Firmino who was responding, and then ran into the penalty area by himself.Firmino ran towards the sideline, diverted the defender away, and kicked the ball towards the baseline.

Emre Can received the ball with a quick run, and immediately made a low pass!

Fabio Borini in the penalty area obviously misjudged the position of the ball. He penetrated too far. At this time, he had to run back a step to control the ball.But at this time, the opponent's line of defense had already been defended. Fabio Borini had no time to turn around, and he kicked the ball to Lin Yi who came over from the penalty area.

Looking at the positions of the personnel in the penalty area, Lin Yi directly shot and blasted out.

His ball didn't go directly towards the goal, the opponent's defense was very tight, and there was little chance of a direct shot, and when passing the ball, Fabio Borini's grabbing points were not as good as Sterling!His shot was kicked toward the ground. After bouncing on the ground, he jumped up, hit the crossbar heavily, and bounced into the net.

"Liverpool scored again! They tied their opponents!"

Although it only tied the game, it was exciting enough. After falling behind for three consecutive games, catching up was enough for people to see the tenacity of Liverpool after falling behind.

After scoring this goal, Liverpool once again scored a 1-1 score, and another goal was a reversal, which naturally excited the fans.

But at this time, Liverpool also made substitution adjustments, and to Lin Yi's surprise, Liverpool replaced two people at once: Rewa replaced Royce, and Sakho replaced Lovren.

The coach's substitution Lin Yi could understand his intention: what he wanted was to give the main players a rest.But the question is, the game hasn't been won yet, isn't it too early to make a substitution?Or, the remaining people are already enough to win?
Soon, after Leiwa got the ball, he took two steps forward in the midfield. After seeing that he couldn't move, he had to turn backwards in a circle, and then pushed back.This back and forth has already caused the opponent's defensive players to go back.

But this time, Lin Yi simply retreated to his side.Received his pass near the center circle.

When he turned around, the opponent's defensive player did not press up immediately. After all, Lin Yi's current position was not yet ready for him to be stared to death.However, Lin Yi obviously didn't intend to let the opponent have time to deal with his own defense. After getting the ball, he also began to visually observe the opponent's back line for the first time, and then, he accelerated with his kick and rushed out!

His sudden acceleration obviously exceeded his opponent's expectation.Those guys with the same appearance rate as him all went to rest, but he can still launch such a high-speed crazy assault!
And his route, the choice is also very ingenious.He didn't rush forward directly, but chose a slightly curved slash to start the assault.Because his ability to change direction is very strong, it is hard for the opponent to judge what kind of breakthrough line he is. They can only try to block his possible sudden change of direction forward line. However, Lin Yi chose to go around a big circle before inserting backwards.

What is this picture for?This kind of running position can't play the role of a rapid assault at all. In the final analysis, a breakthrough cannot create a chance for a quick counterattack, so what else...

They immediately understood Lin Yi's thoughts.The backcourt was almost completely distracted by Lin Yi's running. Their backcourt had no outstanding defense, but at this time, Lin Yi kicked a long-distance rubbing pass and sent the ball into the penalty area!
This guy is attracting attention and creating opportunities for the team!
Fabio Borini, who received the ball, adjusted a step and had already formed a single shot. However, he took an extra step, wanting to expand his shooting advantage.But at this time, the player defending him has already made a tackle!
The whistle sounded quickly, and Fabio Borini fell to the ground.

"Liverpool get a penalty! Fabio Borini tackled in the box, Liverpool get a penalty!"

Fabio Borini jumped up in the penalty area and ran towards the Liverpool players excitedly. Although he did miss the opportunity, it was indeed not easy to create a penalty.

And this penalty opportunity, everyone took the initiative to step back and gave it to Fabio Borini.

"Let's look at Fabio Borini... run, shoot! The goal is in! The score is 2-1! Liverpool once again proved their ability to reverse the game, relying on a penalty kick, they took the lead of the game!"

Fabio Borini ran to the front of the audience, lifted his jersey and kissed the team crest on his jersey.

When Fabio Borini turned his head, he hugged the Liverpool players one by one.

The game continued. After leading 2-1, Liverpool's attack rhythm slowed down a lot. Until the second half of the game, neither side launched any more offensives. Liverpool's lead was maintained until 10 minutes.

At this time, Klopp made another substitution adjustment: Rich Lambert replaced Lin Yi-Lin Yi also had the least rest in the team, and he also needed rest.
