Chapter 926: Seed Explosion (Part 1)
Needless to say, Chen Yu's ability is awesome everywhere. After he returned to the midfield to get the ball, it was too difficult for Portsmouth to grab his ball. Although forward Worrening, who had never played the starting lineup before, could not play a qualified starter like Chen Yu, he was also a player who could pass and shoot. There was no problem with passing a ball in the midfield and controlling a ball. After Chen Yu and Worrening returned to the midfield, although Liverpool's disadvantage in the midfield was not quickly reversed, it was impossible for Portsmouth to imagine that he was so begging at the beginning.
Seeing the midfield's disadvantage gradually reversed, Benitez's heart relaxed a little, "Chen Yu is easy to use. He can stand alone wherever he puts it, but unfortunately there is only one."
Redknapp's face became solemn. The advantage of the midfield is the key to Portsmouth's win or loss today, because Portsmouth's forward line is much worse than Liverpool. If the midfield cannot gain an advantage, they can only play defensive counterattacks and win the draw. Facing Liverpool with such a sharp front line, the risk of defensive counterattacks is actually very high.
On the field
The situation is becoming more and more favorable to Liverpool. Chen Yu, Gerald and Wallenin take turns to attack. Kuyt runs diligently like a bee on the front line. All of this has had a great impact on Portsmouth's defense line, especially Chen Yu, who is faster. Once he starts, Portsmouth's midfield can either be unable to intercept or can only foul. If this continues, even if Liverpool cannot break the deadlock with a set piece, Portsmouth may lose players due to too many fouls.
Portsmouth's head coach Redknapp did not make adjustments to the formation and tactics on the court. He still hopes to win this game. If he shrinks his defense, the chance of winning will be smaller. It is better to take a risk. If he can score a goal, he will play a defensive counterattack and the winning chance will be greater.
Obviously, since Liverpool suffered two consecutive defeats, both Redknapp and Portsmouth players underestimated Liverpool and thought they could win one game while Liverpool was in a bad state, but forgot that the sick tiger was also a tiger, and it was definitely not something that could be underestimated.
In the 17th minute of the game, Chen Yu rushed forward on the left side of the midfield and followed the Portsmouth player who was guarding him one step late. He put a tackle in the back and was avoided by Chen Yu. Chen Yu dribbled the ball and rushed straight to the penalty area.
Chen Yu has already entered Longtan many times before, and Portsmouth players have a way to deal with it. Seeing Chen Yu breaking through the midfield defense, two players immediately came up on the back line, one prevented Chen Yu from shooting, and the other assisted in intercepting Chen Yu and breaking into the penalty area. It is too dangerous for players like Chen Yu to dribble the ball into the penalty area, because they dare not foul, and the foul is a penalty.
Chen Yu had also entered the penalty area before, but the opponent's defense was very tight, and Chen Yu did not get the chance to kick. This time Chen Yu broke into the penalty area just a cover. His purpose was actually to divide the side. He also discussed with his teammates in front. When he rushed into the penalty area, his teammates on the side and his teammates in the middle went forward together, which could not only open the defense for Chen Yu, but also find a pass position for Chen Yu.
Chen Yu looked at the two players defending him. He immediately divided the ball and passed the ball to Benayon who was inserted, and continued to step forward and grab the front point.
Chen Yu's forward run was more prepared than before. He had teammates in the middle of the wing, so he could advance, retreat, attack and defense, and there was a lot of room for choice, while Portsmouth's defense was much more difficult.
Not only Bernardon on the wing, but full-back Liser also followed. Although if Riser really needs to participate in the assist, Portsmouth must have set up a defense long ago, but Riser left Bernardon without the worries of being beaten to counterattack, and could boldly challenge Portsmouth's full-back Distin.
Benardon and Pennant are Liverpool's technical teams. If the attack is completely relaxed, it will be difficult for the defender to defend without foul.
Distin saw Liverpool's army inserting, and there were many response points. If Bernardon passed the ball, it would pose a great threat to the goal. Therefore, when Bernardon was making fake moves, Distin went forward and ran towards Bernardon's leg and kicked over.
Benayon's reaction was quick. When Distin kicked him, Benayon avoided Distin's legs and changed direction to prepare to rush past Distin's side.
Distin was ready for a foul, so how could he let Benayon pass? He reached out and pulled Benayon and pulled Benayon into the sky with four legs.
Distin's defense is already very good and he has a strong ability to read the game. However, there is Riser behind Bernardon. When he pulled Bernardon down, everyone else paused for a while, but Riser quickly chased after him and grabbed it to the bottom line.
The referee had already put the whistle in his mouth, but before he could blow it, he saw Riser grab the ball and head to the bottom line. So the referee gave up the end of the game and allowed Liverpool's offense to continue.
Lisse easily passed the ball to the bottom line to the penalty area, looking for teammates who were supporting him in the penalty area.
At this moment, almost all Liverpool's offensive players have been included. Although the defenders are basically there, such a cross is more beneficial to the offensive side.
However, Chen Yu, who was snatching the front point, did not let the ball pass to the back. Chen Yu, who was very confident in his shooting skills, headed the ball and drew an arc and flew towards the back corner of the goal.
At this moment, Liverpool goalkeeper James had moved to the front point and was preparing to block the near corner, but Chen Yu's header was very difficult, and he directly bypassed James' defensive range, leaving the former England goalless goalless at all.
When seeing Chen Yu heading at the point, both the coach and the players thought that Chen Yu's heading was not reasonable. It is too difficult for such a lion to shake the heading, so it is better to give it to his teammates behind him. At this time, Liverpool has many offensive players, and whether in the middle or in the back point, the difficulty of heading is relatively small. As long as you grab the landing point, the probability of scoring is relatively high. The commentator on the scene almost said that Chen Yu was a little arrogant and arrogant.
But the so-called skilled person is brave and bolder. Although Chen Yu's high-difficulty header is not very high, he still hit the inside of the goal post and flew into the net after drawing an arc.
"Damn it! I actually entered!"
"It's awesome! It's so awesome!"
"What a lion shook his head!"
"Chen Yu, Chen Yu, Chen Yu..."
...
The entire Anfield Stadium was filled with cheers and applause in an instant.
After Chen Yu completed the shooting, he also fell on the turf. Seeing the ball flying into the goal net, he immediately got up and ran towards the stands.
"Cheer! Cheer as much as you like, today I will give you a refreshing victory!"
Chen Yu yelled at the fans in the stands.
After winning the World Footballer, Chen Yu was very angry. Today, Portsmouth hit Chen Yu's gun and was regarded as the target of venting.
Although most of the fans in the stands could not hear Chen Yu yelling, they were all infected by Chen Yu's passion. Many fans squeezed into the fence and shouted hard at Chen Yu.
"Good! Chen!"
"You are awesome! Chen!"
"I admire you so much!"
"You must win!"
"Liverpool will win!"
...
Listening to the passionate shouts of the fans, Chen Yu became even more excited. He and his teammates chasing behind him waved their fists in the stands and shouted with the fans.
Side of the field
Benitez went from not understanding at first to surprise. He opened his mouth wide and did not close for about a second. Finally, he sighed, "This can also be in!"
Next to Benitez, Portsmouth head coach Redknapp said something similar to Benitez, "I actually entered!" Redknapp's mood instantly became very bad. He came with the hope of winning today. Liverpool's condition was indeed average at the beginning, and Portsmouth still had the upper hand, but no matter what advantage the scene had, it still could not stop Chen Badminton's goal, which really made Redknapp very angry and helpless.
The score became 1:0 in the 17th minute, and Liverpool took the lead, but Portsmouth, who was behind, was not convinced because they had a slight advantage in the field. It was just because Chen Yu's personal ability was too strong that Liverpool took the lead. If Chen Yu had not shot at the time, most of the ball would not have been able to score. If Chen Yu had not quickly reached the front of the penalty area to pass the ball, there would have been no such attack at all.
Then Portsmouth launched a large attack, trying to quickly regain the score.
Liverpool are not rookies. They are giant teams that have experienced many storms and waves. Each player has a strong reading ability to play. When they see Portsmouth attacking, they immediately shrink their defense, lure the enemy into the deep, and wait for an opportunity to fight Portsmouth's counterattack.
When Portsmouth saw Liverpool retreating, he thought Liverpool could not hold it low, and their offensive was even stronger. It seemed that they wanted to kill Liverpool with one stick, and the back line was almost over to the middle circle.
In the 20th minute, Portsmouth made a 45-degree cross from the outside of Liverpool's penalty area. The ball was cleared by Liverpool's defender and fell in front of Gerald. Gerald dribbled the ball and launched a quick counterattack.
Gerrard changed directions in the middle and got rid of Portsmouth's defense and led the ball over the center. At this moment, Portsmouth's players were also quickly retreating, but the midfielder was left behind by Gerrard. There was only one Portsmouth's defense line in front of Gerrard, while Liverpool's forward Chen Yu, Kuyt and Worrenin were all between Portsmouth's midfield and back line, and the offense and defense were exactly the same in terms of numbers.
After passing the center circle, Gerald did not continue to dribble forward. His dribble speed was average, and it was difficult to completely get rid of the pursuit of Portsmouth midfielder. Seeing that Kuyt was in an undefensive state, he passed the ball to Kuyt.
Kuyt originally wanted to run in the middle, but Gerald passed the ball to the side. Kuyt did not stop the ball, but ran to the side in the direction of the ball rolling.
Worenin, who was originally on the side, immediately ran to the middle and made a cross-switch with Kuyt.
Kuyt tried to make a cross from the bottom, but Portsmouth's full-back Johnson was well prepared, and the position was very good, and he was facing Kuyt sideways, ready to follow the defense at any time.
Kuyt was not sure of breaking through Johnson, so he directly passed Wallenin at the front of the penalty area.
Wallenin stopped the ball with his left foot and pulled his right foot, half turned around and shook past the center back Campbell who was robbing, and then pulled out and shot.
At this time, another central defender, Heredasson, happened to make up for the defense, and the ball hit him and bounced out diagonally.
However, Portsmouth's danger was not over. When the ball bounced to the side, Chen Yu from the side immediately ran quickly to the middle to meet the incoming ball.
Chen Yu was very fast, and the full-back could not keep up with him at all. Chen Yu did not stop the ball, adjusted his step point, and rushed towards the ball.
Chen Yu's shot was extremely powerful, and the ball flew straight to the back corner of the goal like a white light.
It was the back corner of the goal again, and goalkeeper James's position was still close to the near corner. Facing such a fierce shot, he had no choice but to stare at the ball in a daze.
