Chapter 809 Chance of a free kick
"force!"
With the whistle of referee Haiersi, the first round of Premier League match between Liverpool and Aston Villa kicked off.
This is the first time the Premier League giants have made this season. The defensive champion Liverpool's condition in this game will greatly affect the performance of other giants and even the championship competition in the future.
Liverpool knew that fans around the world were paying attention to their game, and they were unable to win the first round for three consecutive seasons, which made them look forward to breaking this vicious circle. From the beginning of this game, they went all out to attack Aston Villa.
The away team kicked off first, Chen passed the ball back after kicking off, and he and Kuyt quickly inserted into Aston Villa's halftime.
After the ball was passed back to Liverpool's midfielder, Liverpool's midfielder Alonso seemed to have no intention of entangling with Aston Villa in the midfield, and directly made a long pass to find Chen Yu and Kuyt who were in the forward.
Alonso's long pass was a bit unexpected. Not to mention Aston Villa's players, even Liverpool players were surprised because the tactical arrangement of head coach Benitez before the game was to control the ball and wait for the opponent to have a flaw. Now that the game has only been a few seconds since the start of the game, Alonso made a long pass and attacked quickly.
Benitez just said "um" softly, and then there was no expression. Although Alonso's behavior did not conform to his pre-match tactical arrangements, stars like Alonso can make adjustments to the tactical arrangements according to the needs of the game. This is also what Benitez allowed. The game changes rapidly, and it is actually difficult for the head coach to make arrangements at the fastest time. Many times, the players decide independently how to deal with it.
Although Chen Yu and Kuyt did not expect the ball to pass so quickly, since the ball was passed, they rushed to the same landing point with all their might and snatched the ball first.
Chen Yu and Kuyt both rushed to a landing point at the same time, which seemed wrong. In fact, this is the most likely way to grab the ball. Otherwise, anybody will be destroyed by the defender of Aston Villa's nest, no matter how hard they can't get it, they will be destroyed.
Alonso's pass was very accurate, and the landing point was closest to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu and Kuyt's choice was correct and decisive. One person covered the ball and one person grabbed the elm, and finally Chen Yu grabbed the landing point first.
Seeing Chen Yu grab the landing point in his hinterland, Aston Villa's players were very nervous. In an instant, several players surrounded him, preparing to block Chen Yu's breakthrough and passing line before Chen Yu stopped the ball, and steal or destroy the ball.
With so many people surrounding Chen Yu, of course it is unnecessary to make a foul. Aston Villa's captain Barry did not make a foul when Chen Yu stopped the ball on his chest, but just came over and was about to reach out to grab it when the ball fell.
Although Barry did not step directly, his hands were not honest. He grabbed Chen Yu's jersey tightly from below to avoid being suddenly accelerated and broke through.
No matter how strong Chen Yu was in his confidence, he didn't dare to think that he could pick the ball out of several double-teams. He thought about passing the ball out the first time he received the ball, but Kuyt had not yet run out of the position, so he had to stop and wait for Kuyt.
But after Kuyt ran out of the encirclement, Barry also posted it up. It was very difficult for Chen Yu to stop and pass the ball out. As long as the ball fell below his thigh, Barry must steal or destroy it. Chen Yu saw this clearly and gave up stopping the ball to the ground. After flipping his thigh, he directly hooked the gold hook and hooked the ball towards Kuyt's running position.
This is the most helpless choice. The inverted hook pass is definitely not sure, but it is much better than under Chen Yu's feet. Even if Kuyt can't get the ball, the ball will only fly out of the sideline or fall to the feet of Aston Villa's players on the wing. The danger is not as great as in the middle.
No one expected Chen Yu to adopt such a pass method. Even Barry, who was holding Chen Yu tightly, did not expect that he was still waiting to steal.
Chen Yu and Kuyt were lucky. The ball flew out and landed just under five meters in front of Kuyt. Everyone went to defend Chen Yu, but Kuyt was ignored.
Kuyt assisted Chen Yu to grab the point and ran away quickly. He was accelerating and just grabbed the ball that Chen Yu passed by before everyone.
When he got the ball, Kuyt had already arrived on the wing, but Kuyt was also an all-round striker. He could play in the middle of the wing and did not get any discomfort on the wing. He got the ball like a side? and quickly moved along the wing and rushed towards Aston Villa's bottom line.
The side where Kuyt came was Pennant's offensive and defensive area. Pennant had a strong desire to attack today. Seeing Kuyt pulling the edge, Pennant stepped forward at the fastest speed to meet Kuyt who was alone in deep.
Pennant's position today is the right forward, which is a very important position. He is against Aston Villa's full-back Ashley Young, which is Aston Villa's main attacking side. In a sense, strangling Ashley Young can destroy half of Aston Villa's attack power. Pennant's task today is very heavy. Not only does he have to attack, but he also has to defend his opponent Ashley Young's attack.
Like Pennant, Ashley Young also understands that his task is very heavy today. He has a lot of matches with Pennant. He knows Pennant's strength. Seeing Liverpool sending Abero on the left, he knows that Pennant may also be one of the main attackers today, and he has been firmly defending in his half at the beginning, so when Liverpool attacked quickly, he did not lose his position.
Kuyt was hit by Ashley Young's frontal interception before running a few meters away.
Behind Ashley Young is also left back Boma. Facing Kuyt who is driving the ball, Ashley Young is not in a hurry at all, so he stuck his position and waited for Kuyt to make moves.
Ashley Young is so bold and confident, in addition to fully trusting Baoma behind him, he is also because he is extremely fast and is not afraid of Kuyt's change of direction.
Kuyt was a little troubled. He knew Ashley Yang's strength. It was difficult to break through the past by speed. If he had fake moves, he was not the kind of person with delicate skills. But now he was a fast attack and he would not lose his chances. Kuyt gritted his teeth and was cruel, and changed direction and killed Ashley Yang directly along the outside line.
Ashley Young smiled contemptuously and quickly activated sideways, preparing to get stuck in the inside line, followed Kuyt and waited for an opportunity to steal the ball.
The situation at this moment is very dangerous for Kuyt. Once he cannot get rid of Ashley Young, he will be attacked by Aston Villa full-back Booma.
Just when Kuyt felt that he was about to go to Daoshan, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Pass the ball backward!"
The shouting was very familiar. It was Pennant. Kuyt was very happy and immediately stepped on the ball and stopped quickly, then knocked the ball to the back of his side with his heel.
Kuyt and Pennant cooperated for a season and were very familiar with each other. Kuyt's passing position and timing were good. Pennant didn't need to change direction, but he just slowed down slightly and then dribbled the ball along the inside and went to the bottom line.
When Pennant got the ball, Ashley Young was already attracted by Kuyt to the wing. It was impossible to come over to intercept again. He could only rely on Boma behind to stop Pennant from falling. Besides, even if Ashley Young could intercept him in time, he could not go over. Kuyt would still have to go on the wing. If he goes over, Pennant passes the ball back and Kuyt will be open.
The fans in the stands were originally quiet, and they were shocked by Liverpool's sudden fast break just now, but after seeing Pennant get the ball, the booing immediately started, especially in the stands close to Pennant, where many fans even scolded and threw miscellaneous items down.
Of course, the debris cannot be thrown into the field and cannot be hurt by Pennant, but as long as it affects Pennant's psychologically, the goal of Aston Villa fans will be achieved.
Pennan is a little impatient and willful, otherwise he would not have such a deep knot with Aston Villa's fans when he was in Birmingham. Now the more provoked him, the more he is eager to humiliate Aston Villa on the court.
Facing the sideways Bowma, Pennant made a false move that wanted to cut inward, but changed to break through from the opposite direction of Bowma.
Boma was also very tragic. He was about to attack Kuyt just now, but he didn't expect Kuyt to pass the ball. He could only passively move laterally to intercept. Although Pennant's fake move was not very deceptive, Pennant's movement was fast enough. Boma did not keep up and was overtaken by Pennant from the outside.
After Pennant broke through Baoma, he continued to break through to the bottom line, while Chen Yu ran towards the goal at the high speed of the middle lane, ready to grab the spot.
Pennant went down to the bottom line and was supposed to pass the ball, but the booing in the stands became more and more intense, which made Pennant feel upset and his revenge became stronger and stronger. He didn't even see that Chen Yu had already started raising his hand to ask for the ball, and he turned to cut inward and killed in the penalty area.
A team like Aston Villa that emphasizes defense has given Pennant a chance to break through and bottom is already a huge mistake. How could he cut into the penalty area? Just as Pennant was approaching the penalty area, Baoma chased back and made Pennant come over with a sliding tackle to knock Pennant over the ground.
force!
The referee Haiersi's whistle rang, and his finger quickly ran towards the foul spot, signaling to award a free kick.
At this time, the booing sounded even louder in the stands, and many fans were still shouting, "Penant is a fake fall! Penant is a liar!" while the few Liverpool shouted that he wanted to give Booma a yellow card.
The referee Haiersi was not affected by the fans. Although Boma's foul was enough for a yellow card, it was Aston Villa's home court. The game had just been played less than a minute, and it was impossible for Haiersi to show a yellow card to the home team's main defender. He just called Boma aside and warned him once, so that he would not move so hard when defending behind him.
When referee Haiersi warned Bowma, Liverpool captain Gerald also came to Pennant and said seriously to Pennant: "Why don't you pass the ball after you get down? If you make a cross, Chen may get a chance to shoot."
Pennant knew he was a little pissed just now, but he felt evil in his heart and was unwilling to admit his mistake, "The free kick in this position is also good."
Pennant's qualifications and status are very different from Gerald, and he respects Gerald very much. Gerald did not expect that he would not accept his preaching. He couldn't help but vent his tone and said: "If Boma was not so impatient and attacked you with Raulson and Petrov, it would be good luck to get a corner kick."
Pennant saw that Gerald was a little stern, stopped talking, turned around and walked away, but turned around and muttered, "What's the use of saying this? Now I've won a good free kick."
Pennant's voice was not small. After hearing this, Gerald couldn't help but want to go over and teach him a lesson, but was pulled by Chen Yu. Chen Yu nodded and said, "No need to say it anymore. Steve, he is now very excited by the fans, and his emotions are unstable, so it's useless to say it."
Gerrard saw the Aston Villa fans shouting Pennant liar in the stands, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "This kid is still too young, Chen, you can punish this ball, well, you can also hit the goal directly."
Chen Yu looked at the goal, then looked at the position of the free kick, and said, "The pass is good, the shot is a bit barely strong, but you can do it too. The threat of your strong sweep towards the goal is not small."
Gerald shook his head and said, "You'd better come on. I'm not sure about shooting directly at this position, so I can only pass the ball."
"Okay." Chen Yu did not refuse anymore. From the perspective of free kicks, he was able to bind any superstar, which was more advantageous than Gerald.
Chen Yu is bound to Henry's consciousness today. Henry has been in the Premier League for many years and has won the Premier League's top scorer many times. He is more adaptable to the Premier League. However, Henry's free kick cannot be considered the top level. If such a free kick with a good position is very important for Liverpool to win the game, Chen Yu decided to use the star consciousness to transform the card, bind Juninho's consciousness, and improve his success rate of free kicks.
At such a distance, you can pass the ball and shoot. Aston Villa's goalkeeper Taylor has been ready for both hands. He stared at Chen Yu's feet and looked at his next move. Although Taylor has studied Chen Yu for a long time, he still can't figure out Chen Yu's background, which makes Taylor very nervous.
The referee Haiersi's whistle rang, and Chen Yu made a small run. When he came to the ball, Chen Yu was originally going to shoot directly, but at this time he saw his teammate Lisse coming from the side to the middle of the penalty area. Chen Yu did not shoot directly, but gently rubbed the ball and went to find Lisse who was inserted from the back row of the side.
Riser is a full-back and usually shoots from the outside from a long distance. Aston Villa's players are not on guard and he actually penetrates into the penalty area.
