Chapter 310
But in Unai Emery's view, this was caused by his players not pressing hard enough and not pressing fast enough, so he kept waving his arms on the sidelines and asking the players to increase their pressing intensity. , don’t be hesitant or timid, but rush forward decisively and boldly. ,

When Liverpool got the ball again and launched an attack, Sevilla's pressing intensity really increased.

For example, just as Lin Yi passed the football, Krechowiak bumped into him, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

This didn't happen before. After Krechowiak saw Lin Yi pass the football out, he would not continue to rush forward.Now he is doing this, obviously under the influence of Unai Emery.

Referee Sen noticed this, but the football was passed forward by Lin Yi. Now Liverpool was in an offensive state, so he followed the principle of "offensive is beneficial" and did not stop the game.

Lin Yi was not troubled by Krechowiak's change. On the contrary, he was quite happy.

Krechowiak's approach meant that once he made the save, there was no room to look back, and it was not just Krechowiak, but other Sevilla players who did not listen. Press forward and there will be more space behind you.

He ignored Krechowiak and ran straight ahead to support his teammates.

Liverpool's quick passing and cutting did allow Sevilla to have more holes in its defense.

In this attack, Royce made a pass. Henderson and Firmino attracted Sevilla's defensive attention at the front and center points respectively. Salah was left unmarked at the back point.

But Salah is not very good at heading the ball. His header was too high...

"Salah! You missed an excellent opportunity! Such a squandering of an opportunity is really worrying... You must know that wasting an opportunity will result in retribution..."

Liverpool played very well after the start, scoring a goal and creating two good scoring opportunities, but Salah squandered them both.This will naturally worry those who care about and support Liverpool.

Such good opportunities are wasted one after another. Will they happen again in the future?

People are always subconsciously worried about wasting opportunities because they all believe that such opportunities are difficult to reoccur. If you miss one, you will lose one.

But the actual situation may be a little different from what everyone imagined...

No. 14 minutes, 1 minutes have passed since the last goal, the score is still 1:0, Liverpool, playing at home, has taken the lead.

On the scene, Sevilla still worked very hard to use their high-pressing tactics to deal with Liverpool, but what about Liverpool?The rapid passing and passing was dizzying and made Sevilla a bit dizzy.

At this time, Liverpool pushed the football to Sevilla's 30-meter area, and Lin Yi was ready to receive the ball.

Krychowiak and football came over almost at the same time.

Lin Yi jumped up to avoid Krechowiak's outstretched foot. At the same time, he did not forget to push the football behind him with the sole of his foot. This move allowed Krechowiak to scoop it up without touching anyone. The ball was not touched either.

The football was assigned by Lin Yi to Henderson who was very close to him.

Henderson got the ball on the line of the penalty area with his back to the attacking direction.After receiving the pass from Lin Yi, he also did not stop the ball, but directly used the outside instep of his right foot to move the football to the outside.

The football was passed to Salah again!
Salah opened the angle and ran outside the penalty area, preparing to receive the ball.

Sevilla's left back Tremulanas rushed forward to block Salah.

Salah swung his foot and did not stop the ball. He had no time to stop the ball. If he had stopped the ball, Tremulanas would have pressed forward.

He didn't wait for Tremulanas to get in front of him and passed the football directly to the center!
Because of this series of passes, Sevilla's defense in the penalty area was a little overwhelmed, and there was a gap!

When Salah passed the football into the penalty area, Firmino jumped high and he was completely unmarked!
"Firmino headers the goal!!"

Amid He Wei's shouts, Firmino pushed the football toward the goal.

Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio made a world-class save at this time!
He rushed toward the far corner, and his fingertips touched the football, causing the football to change line and hit the crossbar!

However, the football did not bounce out of the bottom line and rebounded in the second 10 minutes!
The chaos created by Liverpool's series of passes just now has not been completely calmed down, and Firmino's header only exacerbated the chaos.

There was chaos in front of the door.

In this chaos, Henderson stretched out his foot and poked the football towards the goal!

Sergio had just landed and could no longer get up to make a save. He could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding for the second time...

"Oh! My God! It's unbelievable! In less than 15 minutes, Liverpool is leading by two goals! There can't be a better start than this!"

There was once again a huge cheer at Anfield.

During the cheers, Henderson got up from the ground, walked around the goal, ran under the stands behind the goal, and waved his fists to the Liverpool fans there. The Liverpool fans in the stands also waved their fists in response to him.

For a moment, the fists gathered in the stands were like a forest of spears.

Everyone is trying to make the loudest noise possible.

Other Liverpool players also flocked to the scene and raised their fists with Henderson, not only in response to their own fans, but also in a show of strength to Sevilla.

When the ball flew into the goal, Klopp and his colleagues once again jumped from the coaching bench and celebrated wildly.

Their tactics worked!

Scored two goals for Sevilla in the first 4 minutes, which is simply great!

This is already the best start they could have imagined!
Meanwhile, next door to them, Sevilla coach Unai Emery looked even more grim.

He conceded a goal in the first 3 minutes, and conceded two goals in the first 4 minutes... Such a situation was something he never expected.

He had imagined that his team would concede goals on the road, and possibly even lose on the road, but he definitely did not expect that the situation would be so bad.

The team he built was so vulnerable in front of Liverpool with a full lineup!
It seems that the two goals conceded were due to lack of luck, but Unai Emery does not dare to blame all problems on bad luck now. If he still thinks so, then he will not be able to lead Seville. Asia achieved such results.

With a sullen face, he reviewed Liverpool's two goals just now, as well as the attacks in which they did not score, in his mind.

It didn't take long and he had already figured it out before the Liverpool players had even finished celebrating.

In response to their high-position pressing, Liverpool adopted a quick pass-and-cut tactic, using the fastest passing and movement to make Sevilla's pressing ineffective.Because no matter how much people run, they can never outrun football.Liverpool can fully mobilize Sevilla's defense as long as they keep the football moving.

At the same time, Sevilla players continued to press forward, which also resulted in a large number of spaces behind them.

These two goals conceded were actually due to gaps in the defense that were caught by Liverpool... Now that we have figured out the crux of the problem, of course we have to make adjustments.

The opponent's quick pass-and-cut tactic mainly targets the space after Sevilla presses, so it is easy to contain them. If you don't press, it will be over.

Having already conceded two goals, if we continue to press, we are very likely to lose more goals.

Now we must first stabilize the defense and not continue to concede the ball.Then there are more than 75 minutes of game time left. As long as you have enough patience, you still have a chance to score.

This game has reached this point, and Unai Emery no longer thinks about winning. If he can draw his opponent, getting a point is not unacceptable.

While the Liverpool players were still celebrating, Unai Emery stood on the sidelines and called Krychowiak to face him.

This move naturally did not escape the eyes of Liverpool coach Klopp.

When he saw this, he knew what Unai Emery would do.

Everyone is not a fool, and they can guess such a simple thing accurately.

Although Unai Emery understood it within 4 minutes and made corresponding adjustments.

But Klopp is already satisfied.

After all, in these 4 minutes, Liverpool scored two goals and led 2:0.

Next, when Sevilla no longer insists on pressing high, Liverpool can also slow down and deal with them slowly.

In fact, Unai Emery's adjustment can be regarded as a relief to Klopp.

With Liverpool's current personnel status and physical fitness, it is really impossible to stick to this tactic for the entire game, even for most of the game.

Therefore, if Sevilla does not adjust, he will not be able to let the team continue to play like this. After three to 10 minutes at most, they will have to slow down and change to normal tactics, otherwise their physical fitness will be exhausted and the team will be exhausted. It will collapse, and even if it leads by two goals, it will not be able to hold on.

Although he saw Unai Emery's adjustments, Klopp did not shout from the sidelines to remind his players to pay attention.

He believed that Lin Yi would make adjustments accordingly after seeing the changes in the other party.Let Lin Yi handle this kind of matter.

When Lin Yi and his teammates finished celebrating and returned to their own half, the Sevilla players all stood in their positions.

Although they conceded two goals, they received guidance from the head coach immediately, and there was no panic in their hearts.Because they know what to do next.In fact, many times during a game, one player plays poorly and makes repeated mistakes after losing the ball. This is mostly because they don't know what to do next and are unsure of what to do next.

Although they are two goals behind at the moment, there is still a lot of game time, and the head coach has told them what to do next.Defend firmly and then wait for opportunities to counterattack. If you can score a goal, you have completed the task.

After the game restarted, Lin Yi quickly noticed this change.

Although Sevilla's players are still pressing, the intensity of the press is not as strong as before.Their previous press was able to push them all the way to Liverpool's goalkeeper Mignolet.

But now at the kick-off, Liverpool passed the football back, and when the ball was kicked at the back line, Sevilla's players didn't even come up.

Logically speaking, in this situation, Liverpool should also slow down and deal with Sevilla slowly.

Anyway, now they are two goals ahead.

But Lin Yi didn't intend to do this.

Slowing down the pace is what Sevilla wants. If Liverpool also slows down, it will play into Sevilla's hands.

The fast passing and cutting tactics are indeed very energy-consuming, but the game has only started for ten minutes now, and Liverpool's physical fitness is far from exhausted. If they give up the fast passing and cutting tactics at this time, wouldn't they be giving up their advantage? ?
So Lin Yi decided to stick to his current style of play.

He is not worried about Sevilla's shrinking defense.

Not to mention that Sevilla does not really shrink its defense. Even if it does shrink its defense, it still has the ability to break the defense with quick passes and cuts.

So instead of repeatedly dropping the ball in the backcourt and waiting for the Sevilla players to come forward, he directly sent the football to the front.

It's still fast passing and running.

And he kept waving his hands, asking his teammates to press up, especially the two full-backs on the wings, who must press up.

The teammates have great trust in Lin Yi. Although they have also seen the changes in Sevilla, if Lin Yi asks them to press, then they will press.

Unai Emery was a little happy when he saw Liverpool still using their original tactics off the pitch.

Sevilla hopes to compress Liverpool's passing space by shrinking its defense, causing them to actively make passing mistakes.This is Sevilla's opportunity to counterattack.

Generally speaking, this idea is correct and makes sense.

But because Lin Yi is responsible for controlling the rhythm, when the football arrives at his feet, he does not delay for a second. He can always send the football to where it should go immediately.

Although he transfers the ball most of the time, Liverpool's offense becomes smoother due to his transfer.

Soon, Liverpool hit Sevilla 30 meters outside the area.

At the same time, after a series of passes, Sevilla's three lines were also compressed very much, and the distance between each line was very close.

Lin Yi shook his head left and right to observe. At this time, Manquillo got the football from the wing. After getting the ball, he dribbled the ball forward along the wing, but was quickly blocked by a Sevilla player.

Royce appeared in the ribs to meet him, and Manquillo passed the football to Royce. At the same time, he continued to move forward, seemingly trying to hit the wall in a one-two with Royce.

But Royce didn't pass the football back.

Lin Yi ran towards Royce at this time, and at the same time motioned Royce to pass the football to him.

When Royce received the ball, his back was facing the direction of the attack. It was pointless for him to take the ball. When he saw Lin Yi coming up to respond, he passed the football without hesitation.

Originally, Manquillo really wanted to cooperate with Royce by hitting the wall, but when he pushed forward, Royce did not pass the football to him, which made him hesitate a little and wanted to stop sprinting. pace.
