Chapter 283
"The ball has been scored!" the England commentator was stunned for a moment, then raised his arms and shouted.

When he saw the football hit the crossbar before, he seemed to be holding his head and feeling sorry for Lin Yi's kick.What a beautiful kick, but it was turned away by the crossbar. What a shame.
As a result, I saw the football accidentally hitting Rico on the back while he was still in the air, and then bounced into the goal...

The ball that should be scored really can't escape!

"Rico is so unlucky. If he hadn't pounced on the ball, it might have hit the crossbar and popped out... This goal may have been God's will..."

After Lin Yi saw the football flying into the goal, he also raised his fist and pointed to the sky.He was then hugged by his excited teammates.

N'Golo Kante didn't rush to the frontcourt to celebrate. He celebrated alone in the backcourt, cheering.

Just now Lin Yi patted his shoulder and said there was nothing to worry about and told him to relax. Is this his proof?

Playing in a team with a player like Lin Yi makes you feel at ease easily
Sevilla was hit hard by conceding the ball, and the one who was hit hardest was goalkeeper Rico - how could his own efforts to save turn out to be a bad thing in the end?

If the ball hadn't been in the air, it wouldn't have scored at all.

Now it has become his own goal!

This is a Super Bowl game...it only started 10 minutes ago, and I suffered a heavy blow.

Unai Emery rushed to the sidelines. Although he also felt helpless and regretful for losing the ball, now is not the time to be frustrated. The game has only started for 10 minutes, and there are still 10 minutes left. Sevilla is next. It's not that you can't make a difference
So he roared loudly on the sidelines to cheer up the players.

"Look for their weaknesses, they have weaknesses!"

Unai Emery shouted from the sidelines.

At the same time, he pointed his finger at N'Golo Kante, a young midfielder who just played in the Premier League for the first time after moving to Liverpool.

If it can be done, he even wants to put an eye-catching mark on Kanter's head, so that Sevilla players can find the weakness of Liverpool's defense when they look up when playing on the field.

Unai Emery's roar restored morale and confidence to Sevilla's players as they recovered from the scare of conceding the goal.

The game continued after the Sevilla players kicked off the ball.

After conceding the ball, Sevilla originally wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but their attack had just completed one and was suppressed by Liverpool's overwhelming and swift offensive.

Liverpool, who were leading at home, launched wave after wave of attacks towards Sevilla's goal amid the roaring roars of the home team's fans.

These attacks were so swift and violent that Sevilla couldn't even breathe.

Why use a weakness to equalize the score... It would be nice if we can stop conceding the ball now!

Liverpool's offensive frenzy lasted for about 10 minutes before finally tapering off.

Sevilla can finally take a breather.

Fortunately, their goal did not continue to fall during these 10 minutes, and they finally defended after retreating across the board.

Now that I think about it, I'm really scared - if Liverpool scores another goal in these 10 minutes, then this game may be too difficult to play.

Fortunately, fortunately, God bless, they did not continue to concede goals. If the score is still like this, Sevilla still has something to do.

We already know your weaknesses... just wait, it will be even soon!
Sevilla went on the offensive.

The target is naturally Liverpool's midfielder Kante.

Iborra found Kante again and at the same time his teammates passed the ball over.

Just when Ibora thought he could easily break through, he stumbled.

The ball was about to be passed to his feet, but Kanter grabbed it in advance and intercepted it immediately.
Iborra turned his head and looked at Kanter's back in surprise. He didn't expect Kanter's movements to be so vigorous and agile, and his attack to be so quick!
Iborra was surprised, as was the Sevilla player Croon Deli who passed the ball to him.

But Klopp was not surprised. Instead, he slapped his hands off the court and said: "Okay!"

Klopp's words of praise came from the heart. He asked Kante to start the game. What he wanted to see most was this. The French Ligue [-] player recommended to him by Lin Yi was really talented and could be seen with the naked eye.

Now Kanter's grab fully proves his strength.

Iborra may not have seen it, but Klopp could see it clearly from the sidelines.

When Krohn Deli passed the ball towards Iborra, Rafa was looking back at the ball.

At this time, Kanter, who was originally in front of him, suddenly started to move forward, stepped forward with a single step, and then used his physical advantage to squeeze Ibora to the side and intercepted the football passed by Crohn Deli. …

This defensive action fully illustrates how outstanding Kanter's explosive power is.

The range of his stride is very large, and the speed of starting is also very fast.

Seeing this scene, Klopp was relieved and said hello to Kanter from the bottom of his heart.

As a central defender, Kanter's experience is still somewhat lacking. After all, he is only 24 years old.

He only played one season in Ligue [-] and only five seasons as a main player in the professional league.

But being young also has the advantages of being young. The first is excellent physical fitness and fast speed, and the second is daring to fight.

This is what Klopp needs.

But the real test is not over yet. Compared with Ibora, Klopp cares more about Kanter's performance when defending veterans like Torres.

Iborra looked at Kanter in disbelief, as did Crohn Deli.

The two of them even forgot to step forward to intercept the ball, allowing Kanter to pass the football easily.

"Kante made a very good defense! His attack completely surprised Ibora and Crohn Deli..."

What the Sevilla players didn't expect was that this was just the beginning. Then Kante's defense was quite solid. This seemingly reckless attack happened twice more, and each time it was successful.

One time was to steal Ibora, and the other time was to steal Suso.

Both men were interrupted by Kanter's sudden advance and lost the ball.

Kanter grasps the timing of the tackle very well. It's not that he tackles all the balls. He doesn't know how to tackle some balls and would rather stay in his position.But as soon as he thought the time was right, he quickly attacked, and the step he started was really fast, so he was able to succeed three times in a row.He was really prepared and sure, so he was very confident when he stepped forward.

"It's really strange. Kanter doesn't seem to be as nervous as he was at the beginning. He seems to have become accustomed to the rhythm and atmosphere of this game. He seems very confident. He seems to be enjoying the game..."

It wasn't just the commentators who were surprised, but also Sevilla coach Unai Emery who was on the sidelines.

He really didn't expect that Kante, who should be the Achilles' heel of Liverpool's defense, performed so well, continuously destroying Sevilla's offense...

This is really evil.

In the first half, due to Kante's outstanding performance, Liverpool seemed relatively relaxed and comfortable in defense.

The score was also fixed at 0:1.

The two sides entered the intermission with this score.

Klopp rarely praised Kante during the halftime break - Klopp's praise came from the heart, and he really thought Kante's performance was good.

In the Sevilla dressing room, Unai Emery was giving Reyes instructions: "You were a little quiet in the first half, but you have to be more active in the second half and use your speed to break through their left defense." He especially likes to tackle, and this is just right for you. And he has a yellow card on him, so he will definitely have some scruples in defense."

Reyes nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and finally expressed his stance: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down."

"Very good!" Unai Emery nodded vigorously.

The second half of the game restarted after a 15-minute intermission. The two sides changed sides to fight again, and no one made any substitution adjustments.

However, in terms of tactics, some fine-tuning has been made.

In the second half, Reyes' opportunities to get the ball increased significantly, and his right wing became an important corridor for Sevilla's offense.

Kanter saw this scene on the court, cast his eyes towards Reyes in the distance, stared at him, and then he saw the football being passed to Reyes' feet.

He was immediately refreshed.
"Sevilla's counterattack, Reyes got the ball on the wing!" The commentator raised his voice.

Liverpool are tracking back and this is a perfect opportunity for Reyes to use his pace.
Sure enough, after receiving the ball, Reyes quickly turned around and waded the football forward.

Royce came from the middle to defend, but Reyes used his speed to force it away!
"Reyes! Beautiful! So fast. Royce didn't even have a chance to foul."

The Sevilla fans in the stands cheered, but their cheers were quickly drowned out by the boos of the Liverpool fans...

After Reyes broke through Royce very easily, all eyes were on him.

This is Sevilla's counterattack and the best time to take advantage of speed. Can Reyes help Sevilla equalize the score?
Seeing Royce being passed, Manquillo quickly pressed forward, but he did not directly attack Reyes, otherwise Reyes would use his speed to pass him, just like Royce.

He just got in front of Reyes and put pressure on him.

However, two people will always meet. Reyes didn't care about Manquillo's defense at all. He rushed towards Manquillo with the ball.

Then when Manquillo had to take a shot, he moved the football away faster than him, accelerated, and passed!

Reyes then chased the football.

But at this moment, a figure appeared in front of him.

It's Kanter!
After Kante came up, he automatically made up for it. In Klopp's tactical arrangement, in the face of such a situation, Manquillo must be the first line of defense. He asked Kante not to stay away from Manquillo. If it is too far, it will give the opponent the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

But Kanter can't be too close to Manquillo. In that case, if he meets a master, he can pass two people with one breakthrough, just like skewering mutton skewers!
This requires a very suitable distance. No one knows this suitable distance, and it can only be found in training.

Reyes saw Kanter appear in front of him and accelerated towards the football.

Meanwhile, Kante is also rushing towards the football.

Then Reyes caught up with the football first, but Kanter was also very close to him. In order to prevent the football cup from being broken, Reyes pushed the football forward with force, intending to overtake at speed without the ball. Catch up with football again...

But just when he was about to dodge Kanter's impact, he didn't feel physical contact.

Kanter raised his arms and forced the brakes in front of him.He had no intention of continuing to chase.

Reyes was a little surprised, but anyway, it was a good thing that Kanter didn't continue to follow him, so he started to accelerate again and planned to chase the ball.

But just as he took a step, he looked up and saw the football rolled out of the baseline...

Only at this time did he realize that he was very close to the bottom line!
After continuously passing Royce and Manquillo with his speed, the distance between him and the baseline was no longer enough to support him to use such a forced breakthrough again...

The referee's whistle sounded, and the linesman also gave a semaphore - goal kick!
Not a corner kick!

Reyes turned to look at Kanter and saw him high-fiving Manquillo who came back.

I thought Kanter was going to steal the ball, so I made a bigger move, so I'd better move a little smaller next time.

The next time Sevilla had another such opportunity, Reyes once again used his pace to get past Manquillo before chasing the ball.

Meanwhile, Kante also pounced on the football.

This time Reyes learned from his previous experience and lessons and did not step too far. He took a small step forward. In this way, after breaking through Kante with his speed, he could continue to control the ball and then go directly into the penalty area. Break out, create chaos, and then pass the football to the teammate who intervenes...the teammate scores a goal!
Just when Reyes was thinking this, he suddenly found that the football he had gone out was gone.
Next to him, Kanter was already lying on the ground, making a tackle, and the ball was already destroyed by him!
Reyes was shocked!

In fact, at the moment when he was wading for the ball, Kanter had already quickly made a tackle. When running with Reyes, he stretched out his right foot to the outside, blocking the football that Reyes was throwing out. Come down!

This was a neat tackle that was perfectly timed.
Reyes stopped quickly, but the strong inertia still made him rush out. When he turned around, he saw that the football shoveled out by Kanter did not go out of bounds, but fell right into Mankey's pursuit. slightly at his feet.

The left-back quickly crossed the football diagonally into midfield.

Royce, who was retreating, caught the football, then turned around and sent the football forward, to the right wing... where Lin Yi was!

Oops!

This thought popped into Reyes' mind...

It was Sevilla's counterattack before, but now it's become Liverpool's counterattack?
