Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 75 We also use the second strategy
"The game had been going on for nearly 20 minutes and the score was still 0:0. Although Liverpool had a clear advantage, they didn't have a single shot on target."
Zhan Jun stretched lazily . The commentary in the early morning was quite taxing on the body.
But when he took one look at Li Yuankui, who was over 80 years old, he suddenly felt that he was still very young.
So he started a new topic:
"Wimbledon's black center forward Akinfenwa is indeed worthy of the reputation of the strongest man in the universe. During this period, whether it was Skrtel, Sakho or Emre Can, they were all completely defeated by him in physical confrontations without exception."
Li Yuankui took a sip of water and moistened his lips slightly:
"He has a physique a bit like a rugby player, all sinewy."
Zhan Jun nodded:
"It is worth mentioning that he is a die-hard Liverpool fan. He publicly said before the game that only he could swap jerseys with Gerrard and no one else could compete with him! Hahahaha."
Both commentators laughed.
Li Yuankui put down his cup and began to analyze the tactics:
"The styles of both teams are actually very distinct. Liverpool advances as a whole by combining the wing and the middle, and pays particular attention to crosses from both flanks. Unfortunately, the quality of crosses from both Manquillo and Markovic is not very good, which results in striker Lambert having no chances at all."
He paused for a moment, and Zhan Jun immediately added:
"Of course, we have to admit that Wimbledon's two central defenders did a pretty good job defending the aerial ball."
Li Yuankui agreed:
"That's right, especially the No. 1 player Li Polo. He is not very tall, but his jumping ability and confrontation ability are excellent. In addition, his positioning awareness and prediction of landing points are very strong. If this is the average level of the English League Two, then I think the competitive level of the English League Two is probably much higher than that of the Chinese Super League..."
Zhan Jun quickly comforted the old man:
"No, no, no, he is already far above the average level of League Two. If we only look at his heading ability, he can even be ranked among the best defenders in the Premier League!"
Li Yuankui laughed, then he remembered that he had not yet analyzed the home team's tactics:
"Wimbledon's characteristics are very simple. They mainly rely on defensive counterattacks, with heavy troops on the wing and in front of the penalty area. Except for the two forwards, all others stayed within the 15-meter line. When they got a chance to counterattack, their tactics were also very simple. Akinfenwa acted as a bridgehead, and another player was responsible for the assault..."
Dubis would be very depressed if he knew that the Chinese commentator called him "another player":
[At least I have a very threatening shot, why don't I deserve a name? ]
[Is it because Akinfenwa is darker and stronger than me? ]
…
Perhaps feeling the commentator's contempt, Dubis worked hard to increase his running and pressing, and at one point he almost stole the ball from Henderson's feet, making Liverpool couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
His efforts finally received God's favor.
In the 22nd minute, Coutinho's cut-in was finally interrupted by Fuller's pulling and tugging. The old captain raised his foot and made a long pass of more than 50 meters, and Wimbledon launched a counterattack again!
This time the ball flew straight over Akinfenwa's head, and he didn't even need to act as a bridgehead.
But he still leaned towards the central defender closest to him - Skrtel - at the first moment!
This iron mountain kick was so powerful that the Slovakian "Prison Break Brother" stumbled suddenly and completely missed the best opportunity to start chasing back!
“Oh my god!”
Skrtel was furious, but there was nothing he could do!
Isn't it the most common strategy to use physical confrontation to slow down the opponent's return to defense or counterattack?
However, if this tactic is used in defense, it will often result in a yellow card or even be sent off by the referee, but when used in offense, it is rarely discussed...
This time Emre Can finally reacted and started to compete with Dubis in speed, but the German midfielder still lost to his opponent and was beaten to a volley from outside the penalty area by Dubis!
Mignolet had a flash of inspiration, and with a quick split on the spot, he actually used his toes to block the ball out of the baseline!
"Phew, it's too dangerous!"
Zhan Jun exhaled:
"This was only Wimbledon's second counterattack opportunity, but it posed a huge threat to Liverpool's goal!"
Li Yuankui shook his head repeatedly:
"This defensive system of three central defenders is still too unsafe!"
…
"Tsk, it didn't go in again!"
Dubis was undoubtedly very frustrated that both quick counterattacks failed to turn into goals.
He lowered his head and spat, then waved to his teammates in the distance:
"Corner kick!"
Being only 175cm tall , he will probably have to give up the stage to his teammates again.
…
"Mark, go!"
"Brother, which tactic should we use?"
Someone called out, and Li Polo and Philip, who had not even crossed the center line, immediately left Lambert behind and ran towards the opponent's penalty area while discussing tactics.
Li Polo glanced at Scottel in front of the door and found that his eyes were fixed on him:
"It seems Rogers has arranged someone to defend me. Then tell our Beckham that we will also use the second corner kick tactic."
Li Polo will attract the main defensive force to cover Phillips or other teammates to receive the ball and shoot!
Rigg, who was standing in the corner flag area holding the football, quickly received the results of his teammates' discussion.
As the team's best passer, he gradually developed a mature passing pattern.
When taking corner kicks and free kicks in the frontcourt, since the opponent usually sends someone to guard Li Polo, that guy often cannot exert his full strength and his goal efficiency becomes lower and lower.
During positional warfare, Li Boluo's insertion from the back row can catch the opponent off guard. Whether he scores a goal himself or disrupts the defense, it can play an unexpected role!
Rigg took three steps back and took a deep breath.
When he took the corner kick, Li Polo still turned on the Hawkeye plug-in.
Although he is not the main attacker, he will also get the chance to make a finishing move by competing for the ball - after all, the heading ability of his teammates has never been so reassuring...
But this time his efforts were obviously in vain.
The corner kick from Rigg was not high enough and hit the Reds' French central defender Mamadou Sakho directly. It bounced back to the middle before it entered the small penalty area...
Just as Mignolet was about to rush over to grab the ball, he felt an irresistible force "brushing" against his shoulder. It felt like...hitting a wall!!
Akinfenwa rushed to the front door to meet the ball and kicked it with his right foot!
The football rolled lightly into the goal!
1:0!
"The ball goes in! The goal was scored by Akinfenwa!"
Zhan Jun announced the result immediately:
"This die-hard Liverpool fan finally realized his childhood dream. Since he can't play for Liverpool, he will score for them himself!"
Li Yuankui pursed his lips and did not dare to speak:
What a terrible love this is!
…
"Fuck! Fuck! I want to fuck myself!"
Akinfenwa, who scored the goal, had a brain short circuit and started talking nonsense.
He even rushed to the South Stand where the most die-hard fans gathered, took off his jersey, and threw it high into the crowd of fans, so that everyone could share his joy!
The referee Moss gave him a yellow card without mercy as the price for taking off his clothes.
Rigg, who had taken a poor corner kick, grabbed his neck:
"It's only been over 20 minutes, there's no need to take off your jersey, right?"
Akinfenwa laughed without caring:
"What does it matter? According to today's offensive and defensive rhythm, do you think I have enough physical strength to play the whole game?"
"I'm going to go crazy right now!"
