Chapter 811 Advantages
So Aston Villa formed an attack lineup with Norwegian striker Karu as the bridgehead, Ashley Young, Abonraho and Petrov broke through in three directions left, center and right, and dispatched by Leokok.
Although this attack lineup has not invested much troops, its attack power cannot be underestimated. Ashley Yang, Abanglaho and Petrov have all the speed, and they accidentally break through to form a chance to cross from the bottom. The Norwegian striker Karu in the middle is a giant who is nearly two meters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. He rushed like a giant elephant. No two people can do it at all, let alone a black whirlwind like Abanglaho is next to him.
Aston Villa's attack focus is Pennant on the right side of Liverpool. Today, Pennant was very excited by the fans and was in a restless mood. Aston Villa's players also saw this and were preparing to treat him as a breakthrough. In addition, on Aston Villa's side, Ashley Young has extraordinary attack power. Even if he cannot surpass Pennant, he can still match it.
After the opening, Liverpool right forward Pennant was in an unstable state. His attack was also sharp, but he was always unable to find the best attack opportunity because of his impatience, so the effect was not obvious.
Pennant was in a fit of anger. Now seeing his opponent taking him to attack, Ashley Young rushed towards him with the ball. Pennant was furious. He did not wait for his teammates to assist in defense, but directly faced the steal.
The defensive players are passive against the offensive players. Unless they have extremely high defense level and the opponent's attack power is average, the defensive players can directly break the ball under the offensive players' feet. Generally speaking, the defensive players adopt the assisted defense method. Defensive players like Pennant are welcomed by every offensive player.
Ashley Young seemed aggressive, but in fact he was very calm. He also left some strength in the high-speed dribbling. Pennant came to steal. He calmly dribbled the ball in the high-speed dribbling, avoiding Pennant's defensive limit and directly broke through from one side.
Pennant rushed over with passion, thinking that Ashley Young dribbled the ball so quickly that he could intercept the ball. Pennant could not bear such a simple change of direction. When Ashley Young was dodging by him, Pennant grabbed Ashley Young's jersey with a backhand, preparing to stop Ashley Young's breakthrough with a foul.
In fact, after Pennant was broken, there was a full-back behind him. There was no need for Pennant to directly foul, just follow Ashley and Yang to run. This was what he did impulsively. He did not take the best approach, whether it was offense or defense.
Originally, Pennant rushed over so recklessly and snatched Benitez was shaking his head. Seeing him reaching out to pull Ashley Young, Benitez was so angry that he scolded the stupid pig.
Ashley Yang's speed did not slow down much just now. Pennantra's stumbled just a few steps. In fact, he was able to control his body and continue to attack forward, but Ashley Yang cunnedly chose to fall down instead of continuing to move forward.
This is the most favorable option, a sure frontcourt free kick and a possible yellow card, which is definitely much more favorable than his continued breakthrough to Liverpool's veteran fullback Finnan.
Aston Villa fans in the stands also took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire at this time, shouting "Foul! Yellow card!" "Penant's yellow card!"
The noise in the stands became louder in an instant, and it was all about the call of the referee forcing the referee to give Pennant a yellow card.
The commentator on the scene couldn't help but laugh and said, "Penant was angry today. It was all caused by the middle finger. I guess he won't end. This boo will always belong to him, but Chen Yu hid."
The referee Haiersi is an experienced and opinionated referee. He did not give Villa defender Bauma the first time, and did not give Pennant the second time, but just awarded a free kick.
Such a free kick is also a chance to breathe a sigh of relief against Aston Villa, who has been suppressed by Liverpool. The most important thing is to make his fans vent their anger. When they are fighting at home, they are pressed by their opponents for twenty minutes. The players can stand it even if the fans can't stand it. If the fans turn against each other, the advantage of the home court will be greatly weakened.
Settings have always been an important means for Aston Villa to score. O'Neal has put in a lot of effort in settings and has invested a lot of troops. Even the defenders have all taken over. The central defender came to the penalty area to grab the spot, and the full-back is also waiting around the penalty area to grab the ball that was cleared.
The maker Ashley Young took the free kick.
The free kick created by Ashley Young is still far away from the goal, and it is a bit difficult to shoot directly. Moreover, when the goalkeeper is fully prepared, the possibility of a long shot is very small. After Ashley Young assists, he passes a high and spinning free kick to find his center Karu.
Because of the long distance, Ashley Young's ball has a strong force and strong rotation. When it flew to the middle, neither the players nor the goalkeeper had a good judgment on the ball's running trajectory. This is exactly what Ashley Young needs. Most of the Aston Villa's players are strong, strong, savage and tough. They are good at fighting for positions in the crowded penalty area, especially the high center forward Karu, who is obviously superior and strong, and quickly occupied the most favorable position in the competition. When the ball flew over, Liverpool players had to jump up and compete with him alone, and the other person secretly pulled his jersey at the risk of being sentenced to death.
However, facing a player like Drogba, who is as strong as Drogba, pulling doesn't have much effect. Karu jumped up under the attack of the two of them and grabbed the landing point.
Karu was jumping up and was about to smash the ball towards the lower right of the goal, but because of Carragher's pull, the height of his jump was a little different. His forehead hit the ball, but he had no way to smash it down. He was supposed to hit the ball at the lower left and headed to the upper right.
Liverpool goalkeeper Renner is positioned close to the right side of the goal. If Carru really heads to the lower right and is so close, it will be difficult for him to have time to fall to the ground and save the ball, but the upper right is the most comfortable for the goalkeeper. He just needs to jump up and wave his arms.
Reina's reaction speed was not inferior to Taylor, and his attention was always on Karu. When Karu was heading the ball, he jumped almost at the same time, and finally hit the ball out of the baseline before the ball flew into the goal.
"Okay! Reina is powerful!"
"Renner!"
At this moment, Villa's commentator was regretting Karu. The Liverpool fans in the stands took the initiative to cheer for Renner, telling Renner how great he had done.
Liverpool's defenders also went over to high-high with Renner. The free kick was able to successfully defend this free kick, which was not only Taylor, but also the cooperation of the defenders. However, the crisis did not pass, and the next one was Aston Villa's corner kick.
With the experience of successful free kick defense in the last time, Liverpool became more confident when defending Aston Villa's corner kick. However, facing Aston Villa's set-piece assist tactics, Liverpool's defense still had some problems. They defended all the offensive players in the penalty area, but failed to defend the defender standing on the outside.
After Ashley Young sent the corner kick out, the two sides fought fiercely for the position. Aston Villa grabbed the front point and rubbed the ball backwards, and topped the ball backwards. Liverpool deployed heavy troops at the front, middle and back three points. The ball was pushed to the sideline by Liverpool players, but the sideline was also controlled by Aston Villa players. Gardner grabbed the landing point and took a few steps horizontally. He directly shot the ball harder than 30 meters away. The ball flew quickly to the left-hand position in the middle of the goal.
The long shot of this foot was suddenly strong, and it was powerful and heavy, and it was very fast. Reina jumped up almost without any preparation, just like a god descending to earth, and used his fingertips to poke the ball out of the bottom line again.
During the second corner kick, Liverpool prepared more fully, and there was no one who gave up on the defense at the second landing point, but Ashley Young made a mistake in the corner kick and the ball spun directly out of the crossbar.
Ashley Young kicked the corner flag with regret. He would not make a mistake even if he gave such a free kick a hundred times, but he made a mistake in such an occasion. He couldn't even understand why this happened.
Aston Villa's head coach O'Neal slapped his thighs in anger. The continuous set-piece attack made Liverpool all the troops. This was the time to win in chaos. Unexpectedly, his most trusted player Ashley Young made such a low-level mistake. O'Neal had to sigh that his luck was no longer on his side.
Liverpool withstood three set-piece attacks from the opponent. Although he was unable to lure the opponent into depth, he had almost rested. Then, he launched a fierce offensive again under the leadership of the forward line and Alonso's planning.
Compared with the previous wave, this wave of offensives was more fierce and lasted longer. This continuous attack lasted until the end of the first half. After 40 minutes, Aston Villa's defense made a mistake under continuous pressure, giving Liverpool a chance to shoot in the penalty area twice in a row. However, Liverpool's players in the penalty area were Kuyt and Aberoa. The two were Kuyt, who did not expect the opponent's defender to leak the ball. The reaction was half a beat slower and did not use force when shooting. Once, Aberoa did not expect his teammates to pass the ball. When he fell to the ground and shot, he was blocked by Villa goalkeeper Taylor with his legs.
In the final stoppage time, Chen Yu also had a good free kick opportunity, but Chen Yu's tricky shot was saved by Taylor again.
