Chapter 401 Counterattack! Counterattack! Counterattack!(1/2)

Villa's player did not pounce immediately. When Torres passed the ball back, Wu Sanshi had already pushed it up. Gerald and Mascherano both came up at the same time. The ball was distributed to Kuyt on the right. Kuyt did not cross it, but chose to pass it back to Gerald. Gerald swept it with a swing, and the ball was horizontally transferred to Lucas. Lucas directly picked up his left foot, and the ball passed through Villa's midfielder Petrov and landed lightly above Torres' head.

It was hard to stop the ball, so Torres had to swing his head and throw the ball into Villa's penalty area.

"Oh, stone!"

Wu Sanshi slid past Beye like a loach and rushed towards the ball, but the ball speed was still very slow, and another central defender Davis had already arrived.

There was no way, Wu Sanshi could not get stuck in the position, nor could he wait for the ball to fall, so he simply jumped up and headed the ball backward.

Bang,

The ball did not hold it down and flew out of the lintel. Wu Sanshi gave Torres a thumbs up with regret.

"Oh, the height defect! If stone grows two centimeters higher, the ball will be suppressed. If it were other teammates, the ball will probably be in."

"This header is a last resort, because Davis has come. If he doesn't, Davis will be pushed first. Torres's goal is pretty, and Stone's running position is also very good."

Anfield fans were already holding their arms high and ready to cheer for the goal. "Child, grow up quickly and grow taller!"

"I almost scored my fourth goal."

“It looks good today.”

They were still full of expectations for stone, and then shouted Wu Sanshi's name and gave Wu Sanshi more encouragement.

Aston Villa fans burst into cold sweats. They are not unfamiliar with Wu Sanshi. Last season, Wu Sanshi led Espanyol to eliminate Aston Villa and successfully advanced to the League Cup final.

"Did you forget the losses you suffered last season? You can't relax at any moment when you're guarding Stone. At least you can't let him run freely near the penalty area!"

"Neither Torres nor Stone can give them space."

Villa is not a soft persimmon, so they soon launched a quick counterattack. There are still many strong players in this team. Milner and Ashley Young played a quick cooperation on the wing. Two wall-to-wave cooperation rushed to Liverpool's backcourt. Then Ashley Young quickly passed the ball to Liverpool's back point, but unfortunately forward Abang Lajo failed to catch up with the ball.

"Villa is missing a top center, and Abonraho is still too bad. Husky on the bench may be better."

"Villa certainly has no shortage of offensive opportunities today. Liverpool's defense line should be paid attention to. When Liverpool attacks, you must be careful of Villa's defense and counterattack."

Both sides were caught off guard once, as if reminding the other side to strengthen their defense. The two sides quickly formed a confrontation, but Villa had the advantage in speed.

In the 5th minute, Lucas was knocked down by Sidwell in a physical collision, but the referee did not blew the whistle, but signaled the game to continue. Sidwell immediately made a direct pass, Ashley Young cut in, and Mascherano was unable to keep up in time. As a result, Ashley Young shot from outside the penalty area and the ball hit Carragher and flew out of the baseline.

Corner kick.

Although Liverpool's central defenders were all tall and powerful, Xiao Lei still found his teammate Coutius Davis, who jumped against Stcole and stared at the ball hard. But Spanish goalkeeper Renner steadily confiscated the ball in his arms.

The whole process was half a beat slower. When Davis was heading the ball, Stukol seemed to be still judging the landing point of the ball, and there was no jump.

Obviously, Stcole was not in good shape, but Benitez chose to trust him and did not let the 18-year-old Ayala play.

Benitez was very dissatisfied and yelled a few times on the sidelines.

After evading a disaster, Liverpool created another opportunity to attack. Mascherano made a straight pass from the middle, Wu Sanshi retreated to receive the response, and reciprocated. He directly handed the ball to Torres' feet with his right foot. Torres took the ball and drove it across, but he ended up hitting the plane.

The attack was quite simple. Wu Sanshi's retreat effect was not as strong as Torres. His range of movement was very free, so it was difficult to send someone to keep an eye on him.

Villa goalkeeper took the ball with his big foot. This time, Scotter finally didn't make any dizziness and pushed the ball to Glenn Johnson on the wing. Johnson kicked the ball to Lucas, and Lucas was knocked down by Milner again. This time the referee's whistle sounded and Milner was punished for a foul.

"The Brazilian is too soft and he's knocked down when he gets the ball."

"He should play harder, this is not Brazil, this is England. If this ball does not foul, Villa will fight back again."

Mascherano drove the ball into Villa's penalty area, and Torres grabbed the landing point again. This time he directly rubbed the ball backwards. Kuyt headed the ball and topped the ball towards the lower right corner of the goal!

"drink!"

In the diagonal thorn, Quelial ran out and kicked the ball out, but he didn't get the strength. The ball was blocked by Gerald in front of the penalty area, and Gerald took a step!

Bang--

The ball reached Sean's thigh and bounced out again. Wu Sanshi was quick-eyed and quickly knocked the ball back before Davis.

It was Gerald! This time his shooting distance was closer, and the ball swung with his right foot was stronger and faster, but it was blocked by goalkeeper Friedel and left the baseline.

Corner kick.

Liverpool controls the situation and forms a siege against Villa, and the situation looks quite good.

"Aowoo,"

"I didn't even get in!"

"The captain's shot was perfect, but the ball was blocked."

Lucas took a corner kick, but it was too close to the goalkeeper and was directly caught by the goalkeeper. Villa's danger was finally temporarily lifted. Then Villa began to gradually stabilize.

The offensive rhythm of both sides began to slow down, and it was difficult to break through the defense line like the beginning of the game. After more than twenty minutes of stalemate, I couldn't get any good opportunities.

Torres kept coming forward and Wu Sanshi kept running back, but the defensive barrier set by Villa in the middle effectively restricted the forward run of Gerald and Mascherano. Liverpool's offense became a little messy, and there was no way, so the two full-backs had to rush up to assist frequently. Especially Glen Johnson attacked very hard, but Lucas in front really couldn't hold the ball, and it seemed that he was not suitable for the confrontation and rhythm of the Premier League at all, but this guy's running ability was not enough.

Glen Johnson simply passed him and passed the ball directly to Wu Sanshi. In the 24th minute, Wu Sanshi retreated and instigated a beautiful attack again. He, Torres and Kuyt passed the ball continuously. In the end, Kuyt gave the ball to Gerald, who missed the ball from 20 yards.

Although the attack ended again without success, at least it could be achieved through cooperation.

"I can't figure out why Stone can do it, why Lucas can't do it. What does it mean? Stone is in a quick fusion of the team, and Lucas is more like a rookie."

"Stone never lets the ball stay at his feet for more than a second, and doesn't stand in place and wait for the ball, maybe that's the difference."

But Wu Sanshi also made mistakes. In the 31st minute, Liverpool launched a fast attack from the right, and Kuyt made a long diagonal pass on the right to look for Wu Sanshi. Wu Sanshi had a good judgment on the landing point, but he chose to volley before the ball fell, but he did not hit the main part, and the ball flew out from the left post on the goal.

"Aowu, this ball, Stone should stop and then choose to shoot calmly. He is too anxious. You can imagine why he shot directly, just because he doesn't want the defender to get close. I think this is also his weakness. Once he faces close-up, he may lose his chance."

"He has missed two great shots. But both of them were run by himself."

"I wonder if Benitez will regret not bringing Suarez, after all, one more forward will give you another choice."

Benitez was also very anxious to see it, shaking his big belly on the sidelines, so tired!

At this moment, his eyelids blew several times, and Villa made a quick counterattack. The goalkeeper actually kicked the ball through halftime. Milner quickly crossed the half and knocked the ball directly to Petrov in the middle. Lucas hurriedly tripped Petrov, giving Villa a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Originally, there was no problem with this foul, it was just a tactical foul, but when defending the set piece, Lucas made a mistake again. Ashley Young passed a free kick into the penalty area, and Lucas headed the ball under Quelial's squeeze, but the ball did not hit the front position and scored an own goal!

"Oh, Buy."

"What did Lucas do today?"

"This ball, tsk..."

"It's simply more beautiful than a regular striker header. This is a perfect own goal, and even Senna didn't expect that he didn't react at all."

"Trarily, Liverpool fell 0:1 at home. This is an accident."

Anfield was silent, and the laughter and joy of the past disappeared. The owned person was too much to hit, and he could concede the ball, but he could not make his own. This was so sad. The fans seemed to remember the scene when they were against Tottenham in the first round. Liverpool was in a position and could not score points, and then they were beaten to pieces. Is luck back to that day today?

No, Stone is also on the court, how could we lose? Many people's eyes are on Wu Sanshi and Torres. At this time, they need one of the two to come forward to solve the problem. Liverpool has scored too many goals in the last two rounds of games, which has made everyone not used to the current Liverpool. Now they have encountered Villa's sniper at home, and one goal has woken them up.

Vera is a very difficult bone to chew.

The culprit was Lucas. Everyone saw it, and even Benitez stared at him, but it was impossible to replace him now. Even if he had to change it, it would be in the second half. He also hoped that Lucas could make up for his mistakes.

"Stone, you need to hold the ball first."

Torres also spoke at a rare moment. When he stood in the middle circle, he spoke and communicated with Wu Sanshi. "You don't need to shoot at the first time, you can choose to pass the ball."

Obviously, he does not agree with Wu Sanshi's way of playing football.

"You can hand me the ball."

The boss spoke up.

Wu Sanshi didn't say anything. He didn't think there was any problem with his football style. He couldn't show his weakness to his opponent, which would be even worse.

"I can try." He could only perfunctory Torres.

Afterwards, Liverpool began to attack wildly.

In the 36th minute, Mascherano's oblique plug found Kuyt, but unfortunately Kuyt never brought a shooting boot to the court. His goals this season were still zero, but he squandered the shooting opportunity that was close to him.

"Kuyt!!!"

Anfield fans pounded their chests madly. Kuyt's chance was too wasteful. It was a pity to compete with Sanshi for the two chances.

Despite Liverpool's soon-to-be-organized the offensive again, Glenn Johnson almost replaced Lucas's job. Two minutes later, he passed the ball across the left to the middle. Torres leaned on Davis, turned around and shot coldly. The ball ran towards the lower right corner of the goal. Unfortunately, Friedel held the ball out with one hand and didn't even give a corner kick.

Wu Sanshi is still chasing him. He knocked the ball back to Kuyt before Sean, and Kuyt crossed again!

Gerald shot with the ball, but the ball was still confiscated by Friedel...

Entering stoppage time, Liverpool still couldn't stand the goal Friedel was holding, but was hit by Ashley Young in the second minute of stoppage time. If Carragher hadn't fought back and chased the ball out of the baseline, he kicked the ball out of the corner kick.

When Sean took the corner kick, the referee even put the whistle in his mouth and was ready to whistle, but!

The ball that fell into the penalty area was pushed out by Gerald, who jumped up, and the ball fell at Lucas' feet. This time, Lucas was no one approaching him on the edge of the penalty area, so he was able to calmly look up and observe his teammates' positions. As a result, he saw that Wu Sanshi had already rushed from his penalty area to his center line.

However, he did not choose to pass the ball directly to Wu Sanshi, and his vision was still very broad because he also saw Glenn Johnson rushing up.

Bang,

He hung the ball towards Glenn Johnson.

"Strike back!"

"Strike back!"

"Strike back!"
