Chapter 835
When Liverpool really lowered his figure to press Sevilla and adopted a foul tactic, it was difficult for Sevilla to fight smoothly. After the La Liga team's proud short pass penetration ability was interrupted by Liverpool with fouls, Sevilla's players were furious and the passing accuracy was greatly reduced. Once the mistake was made by Liverpool to make a high-quality counterattack, the players were under greater pressure. In this way, the short pass penetration could not be maintained and they could only rely on breakthroughs on the wing to threaten Liverpool's goal.
However, if it is better to attack on the wing, the English team is not afraid of the Spanish team at all. If you want to talk about the threat of attack on the wing, the English team's attack on the wing is greater than that of the Spanish team, because the English team's ability to grab points and head balls is stronger.
Although Liverpool's wing attack is not as strong as Chelsea, it is not weaker than Sevilla. Sevilla's wing attack is actually mainly concentrated on Alves. Liverpool's offensive point is also on the left. Finan on the right is a type of strong defense and weak offense. However, seeing Alves is so active on the wing, Sevilla's wing attack hotspot is on the left. Finan, who is not good at attacking, gave up the idea of assisting and devoted himself to doing his defensive work.
Alves is a rising star in Brazil's wing. The full-back and forwards are competent. They can almost handle the entire wing alone. Many people regard Alves as the successor of Brazil's captain Kafu. It is because of Alves, the genius wing, that is, Sevilla's wing offense is better than La Liga and has become a killer weapon for Sevilla's offense.
Alves has a high opinion of himself and always thinks that his talent is worthy of a wealthy family, but the reality is that he still has to continue to stay in Seville, so Alves is not interested in Chen Yu, who was robbed by the wealthy family. He wants to show himself very much in this game and overwhelm Chen Yu and Gerald.
Now Liverpool is defending the right side with all his strength, hoping to let Alves retreat, but Alves is so angry that he does not advance but retreats and continues to put pressure on Liverpool's right side.
In the 30th minute of the game, Alves' offense on the wing was blocked. Under the joint siege of Liverpool full-back Finnant, midfielder Pennant and midfielder Mascherano, Alves tried to break into the middle and was cut off. He counterattacked on the spot, and Liverpool moved the ball out of three consecutive short passes.
Liverpool counterattacked quickly, and Chen Yu pulled the side to attack the gap behind Alves.
Sevilla's main attack on Alves' side, and there were people who made up the gap after Alves assisted, but Chen Yu was very fast, and Marty's defense was not stable and Chen Yu shook it by before Chen Yu could stand firm.
Seeing that there was no chance to cut inside, Chen Yu quickly passed the ball into the penalty area and found his teammate who was in the forward.
Kuyt headed the ball with a header, Gerald on the right side of the penalty area did not hook his right heel, and Babel rushed to the top 5 meters away from the goal, but the ball came too fast and the position was not very good. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar!
It was a dangerous counterattack, and if the pass was slightly lower, or Babel's header was slightly better, it was a goal because the goalkeeper simply didn't have time to come back to save, which was similar to an empty goal.
Liverpool's offense also sounded the alarm for Sevilla. In the following game, Sevilla's offense became more and more cautious, and there was no longer the smooth and wild moments of the first twenty minutes. Liverpool played better and better, gradually integrating the characteristics and rhythm of the game into its own control.
In the 36th minute, Babel passed the ball low from the left, but the ball was too fast, and Chen Yu and Kuyt both missed the ball.
Then, Sevilla suddenly launched a long pass and fast attack, Canute headed the ball back, Renato quickly made a pass, Alves made a diagonal pass from the side, S. Keita quickly inserted forward and headed the ball, but the ball was blocked by Aberoa and blocked it with his body.
Canut raised his hand to signal Aberoa to foul the handball, but the referee Prouz ignored it. However, the slow motion showed that the ball seemed to hit Aberoa's arm, but because the ball speed was too fast and the space was narrow, it was difficult for the referee to see clearly. Even in slow motion, the fans could not confirm 100%, so it did not cause much controversy.
Keita's header was also Sevilla's last threatening shot in the first half. Liverpool then mastered all the offensives. Chen Yu and Gerrard made full use of their personal abilities to frequently threaten Sevilla's goal.
In the first minute of stoppage time in the first half, Chen Yu received the ball after Alves assisted, which attracted Sevilla's defense and suddenly cut in along the front edge of the right side. After making a wall-like cooperation with Gerald, he cleverly passed the ball directly with the heel.
Previously, Chen Yu made continuous cross-cutting breakthroughs, and no one expected that he would suddenly pass the ball. Sevilla's defensive player had an extremely short gap in his brain, which was that this gap of about 0.1 seconds gave Kuyt a chance. The Dutch forward pushed his left foot into the lower right corner 9 meters in front of the goal, but just as he ran and celebrated with the Liverpool player, the assistant referee raised the flag to signal offside.
Liverpool's ball was both disappointed and angry, and they all went up to question the assistant referee's penalty, but Austrian referee Prouz still ignored it and insisted on the assistant referee's offside. However, the slow motion showed that Kuyt did not offside when running. Dragutinovic at the far end dragged one shoulder than him. However, in the flash, the assistant referee could not see it so clearly. It can only be said that the assistant referee's psychological tendency played a decisive role at that time.
After the goal was cancelled, there was no time for the first half. Even if Liverpool returned to the state, they would not have the place to use it. They could only return to the locker room to rest with a 0:1 behind score.
The players were resting, and the fans in the stands became more lively. Liverpool fans angrily criticized the referee and the lineman as black whistle and wiped out a good Liverpool goal. Sevilla fans did not think they had taken advantage of it. They believed that the referee also owed them a penalty kick, and they also shouted in the stands.
Neutral fans believe that both sides played a good goal for 20 minutes, and each was misjudged by one goal, which was generally equal, but Liverpool's luck generally failed to equalize the score.
The commentator on the scene believed that Liverpool and Sevilla both played their own style and level today, and the gap in strength between the two sides was also very small. The score actually did not reflect all problems. Sevilla was able to lead mainly because he grasped the shortcomings in Liverpool's defense line. He believed that Liverpool's equalization in the second half was very likely. If Chen Yu showed his strength, it would not be impossible to reverse Sevilla. After all, Chen Yu's current record is still one goal per game, and Chelsea's defense cannot block Chen Yu. Sevilla, a La Liga team that focuses on offensive style, is even more likely to block Chen Yu.
Because Liverpool fell behind in the first half, Chinese commentator Duan Xuan was very anxious. He was constantly cheering for Chinese fans and swearing that Chen Yu would definitely score two goals to reverse Sevilla and win the final championship. The reason is that Chen Yu has never won the Super Cup championship.
Liverpool fans and Chen Yu's fans both believe that Chen Yu has the ability to score two goals, and it is not impossible to even make a hat trick, but they are not optimistic about Liverpool's winning goal, because the defensive line now seems to be equally likely to concede three goals.
The fifteen minutes of the halftime break passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court from the locker room.
Although I don't know if the head coaches of both sides have made any tactical adjustments, seeing that the 11 starting players have not changed, fans know that Liverpool and Sevilla's coaches are still relatively satisfied with the situation of both sides in the first half, at least they don't think which player has performed too poorly.
Sure enough, after the game started, the personnel positions and tactics of both sides did not change much, and the rhythm of the first half continued. The leading Sevilla side was the main defender, while the lagging Liverpool side was the main attacker. If there was any fine adjustment, it was Sevilla who increased the long pass transfer, seemed to want to avoid the entanglement of Liverpool's midfield and directly threatened Liverpool's defense line.
Undoubtedly, this is a correct idea, because Liverpool's shortcomings are the central defender combination. More than 20 minutes after the first half, Sevilla's passiveness was intercepted in the midfield and could not be completed on the wing, so it could not put much pressure on Liverpool's defense line, causing his own defense line to be passive. Now Sevilla is just trying to turn passive into active.
Liverpool has almost no change in the slightest, and it still presses quickly, cutting Sevilla's midfield, and forcing Sevilla's offense to the flank. Liverpool does not have any special way of dealing with Sevilla's long pass attack, because in the Premier League, long passes are one of the essential weapons of every team. Liverpool is dealing with the opponent's long passes every week, so there is no need to deliberately make arrangements.
The first choice was Liverpool. From the second half, Liverpool showed Sevilla what a long pass and rushing tactic is.
Alonso made a long-distance pass, Chen Yu stopped the ball from his chest on the right side of the penalty area, picked the ball and turned around and passed the full-back Alves, turned around and passed the low pass from the front point.
At this moment, Sevilla has no players except the goalkeeper in the penalty area, and Kuyt and two central defenders are desperately inserting into the penalty area.
At this time, Liverpool scored the goal when he got the landing point, and Sevilla cleared the goal when he got the landing point. So close to the goal, goalkeeper Palop was basically a decoration.
"Danger!"
Sevilla fans in the stands exclaimed loudly, reminding their players.
Sevilla head coach Juander Ramos on the sidelines also clenched his fists nervously.
However, at this time, Kuyt's speed became a shortcoming. He was unable to surpass the two central defenders. When all three of them fell to the ground and put the shovel, Eschud scrambled the ball out of the baseline in front of Kuyt.
Although Liverpool did not score this time, Liverpool's morale and confidence became stronger and stronger, the offensive became smoother and more imaginative.
In the 55th minute of the game, Pennant finally found a chance to take revenge. He broke through Alves and passed the penalty area on the left. Kuyt headed the ball in front of the goal and returned to the front of the penalty area. Chen Yu didn't know what it was to retreat to the midfield position. He quickly followed up and volleyed at 27 meters, but this powerful shot hit Kuyt's body and went out of the far post.
Sevilla saw that Liverpool had too much time to control the ball and had too strong offense. The goalkeeper dared not pass for a long time and wanted to control the rhythm of the game in the backcourt. However, under the fierce pressing of Liverpool players, Sevilla made a mistake in the midfield and was predicted by Alonso to be cut off.
Sevilla thought Alonso was going to pass again, and Navas pressed quickly, trying to delay Alonso's time of passing the ball, but he didn't expect Alonso to turn around to protect the ball, but he secretly used his heel to pass the ball to Gerald.
Gerald pivoted the ball away from Renato's defense and quickly walked to the bottom line. Facing Esquard's defense, Gerald had a sudden idea and used his own speed to pass Esquard.
Gerrard has never been good at speed, and his speed is only in the middle of Liverpool's team. Eschold never thought that Gerrard would score a ball by himself, and it was too late to make a foul. When he turned around and chased, he could only follow Gerrard and had no time and space to surpass him.
Gerald deceived Eschold with a strange move, but his speed disadvantage made him unable to do so when chasing the ball. He caught up when the ball was almost at the bottom line. In order to pass the ball, Gerald had to sacrifice his physical balance, half turned around and passed the ball into the penalty area, and he fell to the ground.
Gerald broke through and passed the ball suddenly, Sevilla's defender was not prepared enough, and there was no one at the front point, and the two defenders in the middle and Kuyt competed for the top, but they did not encounter the ball.
Just when Sevilla's fans wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly found a red figure rushing backwards quickly, and the white-clothed player who followed him was thrown away in the penalty area, so they could only watch the red-clothed player heading the ball from a distance.
"List!"
"List!"
The Liverpool fans and Sevilla fans in the stands were shouting Chen Yu's name, but they were just a surprise and joy.
The player in the red was Chen Yu. He quickly ran to the back point when Gerald passed the ball. Although Kaita followed him closely, Chen Yu still had the ability to accelerate while running, and threw Kaita away in the penalty area to complete the attack.
When Chen Yu headed the ball, the ball had already flew past the goal. Moreover, Gerald's pass was not high but it was very fast. It was very close to the goal, only more than three meters away. If Chen Yu headed the ball directly, it would probably hit the edge net. So Chen Yu threw the ball a little while and brought an arc when he pushed it out. The ball just screwed into the near corner.
Goalkeeper Palop kept moving with the ball. When Chen Badminton headed, he also saved it in time, but even Banks was reborn, he could not save such a ball. As soon as Palop's body flew up, the ball had already entered. His subsequent movements were actually useless. When Palop fell to the ground, the applause had already sounded.
Tie 1-1! Chen Yu's header equalized the score for Liverpool.
Chapter completed!
