The Ball at Your Feet

Winning the league match with Arsenal made Liverpool also excited. In this season, all the tough battles with the other strong teams in the league are basically over. They are still three points ahead of Chelsea. At this time, the remaining opponents are the underdogs in the league. They have the rest of the game. It's much simpler.

However, there is only one problem. It seems that the schedule of the remaining Champions League matches will not be too easy. Now Liverpool is likely to be knocked down by physical problems. After all, Liverpool is now the only third-line team, and it is a lot more tired than Chelsea.

"Otherwise, let's just give up in the Champions League..." In the locker room, when several people were talking, they couldn't help but ridicule.

"Don't. The Champions League games are all money. You can make a lot of money to advance to the first level, how can you just forget it so easily."

In fact, this is to say. Although the league champions are good, what is the difference between the Champions League and the league champions?

Moreover, although everyone hasn't said it, after all, there is something called the Triple Crown in this world. Liverpool still has a certain amount of hope.

But these words, after all, no one said it, why use those things to add pressure to everyone? Everyone in Liverpool believes that their teammates will do their best to play. At this time, they also understand that they should not put pressure on their teammates. Just know it in your heart, there is no need to say it.

After this game, Liverpool also ushered in the second game against Bayern in the Champions League.

This game is played at home, as long as the game is won, Liverpool's devil schedule is over. Although in this schedule, Manchester City and Bayern each drew once, but the game was generally considered good.

In the home game, although the battle is still continuous, but at least the home advantage is in hand, and there are goals in the away game. Liverpool's players are also more confident. When they play the game, they naturally relax a lot.

In this game, Bayern also made some adjustments: Lizarazu is no longer a starter this time, and Bayern has replaced Lahm at the left-back position.

This famous defender is still just Bayern's rotation starter, but he is already a frequent visitor to the German national team. Although his strength is not necessarily better than Lizarazu, after all, he is younger and faster. When facing Liverpool with good running ability, he will not be too embarrassed by Liverpool's speed players. .

These are good for tactical considerations, but Magath still overlooked one problem. This is Anfield, the world’s famous Devil’s Stadium. In such a stadium, the team lacks Lizarazu. Can the team play 100% of its strength in the character town?

"Long live Liverpool!"

As soon as he entered the stadium, the shouts of surrounding people had already skyrocketed. There was a tumbling red on the stands, and when the Bayern players looked around, they were unavoidably surprised and nervous.

"Don't mind, it's just fans. They won't play, it's no big deal." Looking at Schweinsteiger next to him, Ballack was a little dissatisfied with their looks. He was beside him, faintly Said, "It is enough to play well. We have seen their strength. They are not necessarily better than us, but if you are not serious, we can't win the game."

"I'm not scared, I'm just a little excited."

"Calm down, nothing to be excited about." Barack patted him, "It's just a game."

This kind of excitement was actually felt by Barack, but it was this excitement that he was afraid of. When looking at the enthusiastic fans, few players will not be affected. It's just that this kind of influence is likely to be a good influence for the home team, but it is not a good influence for the visiting team. The fans sitting in the stands are very good, but if you do any action, there will be tens of thousands of people booing around, and few people can keep calm. Especially England fans have always been known for madness, football hooligans and other things. Their actions will always have a very big impact on people. Of course, some players are like Schweinsteiger, they are not afraid, but excited, but this is enough: after all, there are not many players who can perform well under excitement. Without sufficient experience and experience, there will still be problems in the face of big scenes.

There are many stadiums in the world that are very big-whether it is the Bernabéu or the Nou Camp, they are all exemplary stadiums. When it comes to attendance, the Bundesliga’s attendance has always dominated the major leagues, but it is still Liverpool’s Anfield, Manchester United’s Old Trafford, and even Turkey’s that are truly called the home of the Devil. In addition to the record, the key issue of the stadium is the atmosphere.

It is said that the record is because some teams can't make it on the table at home, such as the duo Schalke and Dortmund in the Ruhr area of ​​the Bundesliga. They have lost all kinds of home games. No matter how enthusiastic the fans are, they can't stand the team losing every day. No matter how good the atmosphere is, it is no good. . The Camp Nou in previous years is also a meaning, poor results, enough to affect the feelings of the fans.

And other stadiums, such as Arsenal's Highbury, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, and Real Madrid's Bernabeu, which are not bad, but the atmosphere of the fans is much worse. The Bernabéu, in particular, has to pay attention to the gentleman's demeanor even at home. Once the visiting team has performed well, they have to applaud the visiting team players, which makes it very difficult for the players to accept.

As for the clubs in Ligue 1 and Serie A, it’s hard to mention a league where the attendance rate is not high all the year round and the fans are not enthusiastic enough to appear at home in hell.

Although Liverpool does not have a candy box stadium, the kind of crazy fans who work together to smash the ground to create an earthquake, nor do Turkish fans have the fierceness of digging tunnels to watch training, but when it comes to such a key game, their inspiration is just as encouraging. Frightened.

Sure enough, as Ballack had expected, Liverpool gained a great advantage from the start of the game. Bayern players made many mistakes, and soon they were suppressed by Liverpool.

Bayern's overall strength was originally worse than Liverpool, and coupled with the impact of away games, they have no advantage at all. In their home court, they can still rely on Liverpool's fatigue and home court advantage to defend the scene, but at Anfield, they have no chance at all.

In this game, Liverpool’s tactics have obviously also been adjusted: knowing that the opponent has made a lot of raids on these two wings, and seeing the excellent performance of the opponent’s defender, Liverpool’s playing style has also been changed: Zhao Yaning and Gerrard was placed on the two sides, while Figo was placed on the middle. Zhao Yaning and Gerrard rely on their speed and impact to force the opposing full-backs not to advance too far. Figo is responsible for sending straight passes to the two of them to help them make a better breakthrough. This approach covers the problem of Figo’s lack of explosive power and also gives better play to his passing ability. On the upper side, Zhao Yaning and Gerrard were on the two sides, relying on the advantage that they could accelerate, and indeed forced Sagnol and Ram to not dared to advance too much.

And this also blocked Bayern's attacks-Bayern's attacks were launched very much by the two wingers, but they were also extremely dependent on the full-backs. Neither Schweinsteiger nor Hargreaves is truly a sidewalk with breakthrough ability and excellent creativity. Even Hargreaves is not a sidewalk. The purpose of his coming up. It helps the team defend.

And in this game, after Zhao Yaning pulled to the side, they couldn't play a big role in the frontcourt. Liverpool had an advantage in the game.

And tactics can bring advantages, and the end of the game still has to rely on the outstanding strength of the stars.

At this time, when Zhao Yaning was on the right and facing Lahm, he also had the advantage. With height, speed, coupled with his skills, although Ram has done enough defensively, it is difficult to stop Zhao Yaning's surprise attack.

As a full-back, Lahm is indeed very good. Although he is short in stature, his speed, forward penetration ability, and dribbling pass are very good, not to mention, especially when he cooperates with teammates, supports running positions, and is extremely capable of activating teammates. These are his advantages.

But he also has his disadvantages, his defensive problems are very serious.

Of course, this does not mean that he does not work hard. In terms of his technical characteristics, because of his strong offensive ability, the tasks given to him by the coach are more offensive, which makes him always have problems behind him. This is actually a common problem for all offensive full-backs. There is a serious misalignment behind the back, and everyone will run into it. In this case, the best way is naturally to practice the technique of a tackle. Both Carlos and Lahm are masters of tackles. After this one tackles the opponent, they can Few people will pay attention to the ability to stand up for the second time in a short period of time, but this is indeed a manifestation of defensive skills. Carlos, Ram, and even Puyol, who played as a full-back in his early years, all have excellent tackles.

Ram is not bad in this respect, technically speaking, he is very good. But compared to Carlos, who can rank in the top three in the Golden Globe Awards, what he lacks is a strong physique.

Carlos is famous for his thick legs. It is said that his left leg has a leg circumference of m. Although he is not tall, he is world-famous for his sturdy figure and outstanding strength. His card position is enough to allow most players to break through. Can't get up.

But Ram couldn't. His figure is too thin. Skills can be made up for with training, but the bones can't be supported. This has become his biggest problem. Although some deficiencies in technology can be remedied by consciousness, this deficiency is not so easy to remedy after all.

And Zhao Yaning had noticed this in the last game, and in this game, after several trials, he also began to think about how to use this.

Although it's not impossible to force it from here... but it is not good enough after all. Zhao Yaning still wanted to spot the opportunity and talk about it.

Finally, in the twenty-fifth minute of the first half, Figo's through ball was slightly bigger. Zhao Yaning and Lahm rushed up together. Zhao Yaning hit the ball first and slammed the ball back. Ram immediately shoveled, but Zhao Yaning took a step backwards. After getting out of the way, Zhao Yaning rushed directly at this opportunity.

Ram got up immediately and followed closely behind him. However, his body is really incomparable with Zhao Yaning. Although he was close to Zhao Yaning, he was bumped by Zhao Yaning. For Zhao Yaning's breakthrough, he was already powerless after losing his position.

After another collision, Zhao Yaning took advantage of Ram's unsteady footing and pulled the ball over with one foot, then leaned on his body to squeeze Ram, just pressed against him, and entered the penalty area.

Ismail has already greeted him, but at this time, Zhao Yaning was one step faster than him, passing the ball and kicking it out!

Milito greeted the football, he stretched his body as best as he could, and then hit the ball into the net with a header!

"Liverpool took the lead 1-0!"
