Chapter 818 Confrontation of Rhythm

The performance of Liverpool's trident this season is indeed amazing.

Not only in the Champions League, but also in the league. Although Southampton and Manchester City scored more goals, but Liverpool's trident, Salah scored 32, Firmino scored 34, and Mane scored 32, which is also extremely amazing , That is to say, Du Yue performed too well and defended the top scorer with [-] goals. Otherwise, with Salah's [-] goals, winning the top scorer should be a very stable thing.

Of course, the more tragic thing is Kane. The Tottenham striker scored another [-] goals this season, but he didn't even get a silver boot, only a bronze boot.

Scored [-] goals in two consecutive seasons, but failed to get a top scorer, which is simply embarrassing.

The topic is far away. After Southampton's attack, Liverpool continued to attack unaffected.

The characteristic of Liverpool's attack, which is now clear to everyone, is to pass through the midfield quickly and then strike hard and quickly.

This tactic looks simple, but in fact it brings out all of Liverpool's advantages, and at the same time makes it difficult for the opponent's defense to fight. Otherwise, they will not be able to deal with them from the middle of the season until now. .

Of course, the advantage of Southampton is that in the front, many people have already helped them overcome the thunder.

The main thing is Manchester City.

The two-round match between Manchester City and Liverpool gave Ji Ya a lot of inspiration.

Salah received the ball on the right side of the front field, and then started to dribble forward. His breakthrough has always been very sharp, but if you concentrate on marking him, then he will immediately distribute the ball and let the horse on the other side. Attack from within.

The ball always moves faster than people, and Firmino is also a very cooperative center forward.

So when Salah starts to break through with the ball, too many people can't restrict him, but he can't be left alone.

So Hoybil and Chilwell outflanked him at the same time, entangled him, and used physical confrontation to make it difficult for Salah to advance.

After Salah's transfer, Mane just got the ball and was quickly blocked by Southampton players.

In the end the attack was over after Mane barely broke through and shot.

Klopp frowned slightly, but he wasn't too worried. The opponent's focus on defense made it difficult for Liverpool's offense. Eight times is very difficult.

Southampton began to launch a counterattack, but they did not play fast. Instead, they began to organize and dispatch in the midfield and slowly created opportunities.

The attack finally took a full 2 ​​minutes. Du Yue retreated to make the ball, and then passed the ball to De Bruyne. De Bruyne divided it to the left. He shot with his foot and was saved by Karius.

After this attack, some of Southampton's frontcourt players left to fight, while others quickly returned to defense. This made Liverpool's fast break lonely. In the end, Salah broke through from the side and was released by Chilwell. Instead, the referee awarded a free kick from the wing, Milner crossed the free kick, Salah kicked the goal 20 meters away from the goal, and De Bruyne blocked it with his body.

The ball flew to the left, and Robertson who followed up received the ball and passed it diagonally to the goal. Firmino, who advanced forward, competed for the first spot under the defense of De Ligt, but unfortunately his header missed the goal. the near post.

"Our attack is not smooth... Are they slowing down the rhythm?" Klopp thought to himself.

The two sides are fighting for rhythm on the court. Liverpool must play fast, and Southampton must play slowly. Whoever is most familiar with the rhythm will of course have a higher probability of victory.

But this is not absolute. After all, for players, it's not that they can't play football without playing at a rhythm they are familiar with. It just increases the difficulty.

It is relatively easy to slow down the pace, especially at this stage when everyone is very physically fit, so there is no need to worry too much.

The next attack by Southampton also took a lot of time. After passing back and forth, they finally found an opportunity. Chilwell went forward and before receiving the ball, then took a long shot and the ball missed the near goal. column.

"The pace has slowed down, which may not be a good thing for Southampton! Ji Ya, didn't you expect that Du Yue, who was in good form, seems to be starting to cool down under this relatively slow pace? Yet?"

Looking at Du Yue running back on the field, Klopp thought in his heart.

His words are not groundless. Du Yue's state has improved. In fact, if Southampton also speeds up the offensive rhythm, then maybe at the beginning stage, creating a few more opportunities will allow Du Yue to seize one of them.

To put it bluntly, a player like Du Yue is really difficult to defend.

However, Ji Ya chose to slow down the pace. Although this approach can allow Southampton to create opportunities in the next time, it will also make Du Yue's state slowly cool down.

This is actually Ji Ya's habit. He has always believed that the overall performance of the team should override individual performance, and that collective interests should be stronger than individual performances.

"Continue to entangle. Although our important players may not be able to get a better state, but your important players will be more disturbed! If this continues, it is not certain who will win." Klopp thought in his heart .

Sure enough, in the next period of time, Liverpool began to gain the upper hand. They began to continuously suppress the offense and create opportunities.

This is also what Liverpool have been quite good at recently.

Constantly attacking, one or two opportunities can always be seized.

However, Southampton's defense also showed extremely tenacious fighting spirit during this period of time.

Milner took a shot from the outside, but Hoybil blocked it with his body.

After receiving the ball in the penalty area, Salah turned around and shot with his left foot, which was blocked by Maguire with his body.

After receiving the ball on the left, Mane took a shot and was blocked by Dericht with his body...

"Southampton's defense is very tenacious. They keep blocking Liverpool's offense with their bodies! It seems that they really put a lot of effort into this game!"

Amid the chanting of the commentator, Klopp frowned. During this period of time, Liverpool's suppression was normal. Because of Southampton's style of play, Liverpool also studied for a long time, but now it seems that the rhythm of Liverpool's attack , Southampton up and down, also very familiar!

"This guy really doesn't leave any flaws... The next game will be a little troublesome." Klopp thought in his heart.
