Chapter 96 I won’t let you tackle the ball again

Liverpool's passing control is based on the rapid advancement of the midfielder on counterattacks, directly threatening the opponent's goal to the greatest extent.

The offensive connection in the frontcourt is completed by Coutinho.

In order to interfere with his threatening dribbling at the front of the penalty area, Harry Arter must mark him closely.

Harry, who came on as a substitute in the second half, is full of energy. Whenever Coutinho comes to the front of the penalty area, he will be closely marked by him.

Eddie Howe gave him an order to defend Coutinho at all costs and forget about other things.

After his appearance, Coutinho was not as relaxed in the frontcourt as he was in the first half.

Moreover, when the game time reached 65 minutes, the physical fitness of both players began to decline, not to mention Coutinho, who had been using dribbling to get rid of the defense.

At this time, it is not wise to fight head-on. Pass the ball back first, take a breath and then reorganize the attack.

When the ball returned to the Liverpool half, Eddie Howe waved his hands and urged the team to press quickly.

The opponent's skills and abilities are many times stronger than our own. If we give them a chance to breathe, they will slowly control the rhythm and seize the initiative.

The Bournemouth team cannot let this happen, they must firmly control the rhythm in their own hands.

Rossi rushed forward immediately and could not let Gerrard slowly sort out the pass in the backcourt.

As he gets older, Gerrard's B2B round-trip and assault capabilities gradually decline.

Seeing the black-haired boy who knocked him to the ground just now, he felt unwilling but helpless.

If I were a few years younger, I might not be able to identify who fell to the ground just now.

Joining Rossi were Ryan Fraser and Wilson.

Their task is to press the two central defenders next to Gerrard, forcing the ball to return to the goalkeeper or send it to the frontcourt.

After Gerrard observed it, while passing the ball back to the goalkeeper, he ran towards the unguarded area to receive the pass.

Without saying a word, Rossi ran directly between their passing lanes, and then slowly moved closer to Gerrard.

Liverpool goalkeeper Jones didn't have a good outlet for the ball, so he dribbled the ball forward himself.

After Rossi greeted Ryan Fraser, he pounced directly on the goalkeeper and asked his teammates to help him defend Gerrard.

After Fraser moved, Liverpool central defender Skrtel had space to take the ball, and the goalkeeper quickly passed the ball out.

At this time, Rossi turned towards Skrtel and blocked his path back to the goalkeeper. Ryan Fraser also double-teamed him almost at the same time.

Although the passing route on the ground is blocked, Skrtel can pass the ball to his teammates by raising the ball high.

Once the ball was passed, Rossi rushed towards the ball.

In short, you just can't let your opponent pass the ground ball easily.

[The Bournemouth team fought very hard in the frontcourt, giving Liverpool no time to organize calmly. Players must distribute the ball immediately after getting the ball, otherwise it will be very dangerous.]

【However, this kind of fighting consumes a lot of physical energy.】

As the commentator said, this is Bournemouth's way of stealing the rhythm.

Pressed like a "mad dog" by the players in the frontcourt, the Liverpool goalkeeper, in order to ensure the safety of the defense, received the pass from his teammate and directly sent the ball to the opponent's half.

Lucas took off for a header, but Gosling tipped the ball from behind to Ritchie, knocking him down.

drop!

The referee called a foul on Gosling for a behind-the-back challenge, which caused dissatisfaction and protests from the home team's players.

In order to fight for the ball, the Bournemouth team tried their best, and every opportunity was very precious.

After Liverpool kicked off, Bournemouth started their pressing again.

What's going on? Is the energy of these human beings unlimited?

Even when trailing by three goals, there is still such an aggressive press. This means that we will not give up until we score a goal.

In the 74th minute, Rogers replaced Coutinho with Emre Can to strengthen defense.

At the same time, it also allows players to rest.

After all, there is a league match against Arsenal on the weekend. The overall situation of this game has been decided, and the main players must save their energy.

Emre's appearance not only strengthens Liverpool's midfield passing control, but his speed and dribbling can also impact Bournemouth's defense.

In the 78th minute, Wilson's press failed to follow up in time, allowing Gerrard to pick up the ball in the backcourt and pass it to the left rib area on the weak side.

Emre used a fake move to break into the penalty area from the left side of Gosling. Facing Elphick's defense, he continuously changed directions and spiked the ball, then opened up space for shooting and volleyed towards the near corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Boruc was highly focused, flew across and saved the ball from the baseline.

This shot made the home fans scream in surprise.

But we can't lose the ball again. If we lose the ball again, we will be bloodbathed.

Lucas took a tactical corner kick. From this point on, we knew that Liverpool wanted to firmly control the rhythm of the game.

No matter how good you are at running, can you last for 90 minutes without slacking off?

Now they are hanging on with one breath. As long as they score one more goal, Bournemouth will definitely collapse.

In the 80th minute, Bournemouth's high-pressure press continued, but compared with before, it was obviously weakening.

The player's legs began to feel heavier and his breathing became irregular.

Liverpool took advantage of the opponent's gap and launched a sudden attack. Lallana passed down the wing and passed to Sterling who was outflanking him.

The latter's shot was interfered by Cook and missed the right spot, and the ball was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

Boruc took the ball and strode out, swinging his feet directly to send the ball across the half court.

Although Wilson leaned on Henderson with his body, there were small movements on both sides of the hands, and he could not guarantee to stop the ball steadily.

In desperation, Wilson pushed the ball to Richie with his chest. The huge impact almost knocked him out of breath.

Ricci looked up and saw that Rossi had moved between Gerrard and Sakho, which was an excellent position.

He didn't stop the ball and sent an overhead kick directly.

When Rossi passed the ball, he started quickly and came to the edge of the penalty area in an instant, preparing to stop the ball and shoot.

He unloaded the ball perfectly with the instep of his feet and gently took the ball forward a small step, allowing him to take advantage of the situation and shoot.

But suddenly a figure flashed out in front of him and tackled him with the ball.

After Rossi fell to the ground, no whistle was heard, only the boos of the home fans.

There was no foul on this tackle and it was very clean.

A big hand stretched out in front of Rossi's eyes. He looked up and saw that the person who knocked him down was none other than Liverpool captain Gerrard.

"If you want to shoot, you are still a little green."

Gerrard, whose chest was heaving violently, did not mean to provoke, but just out of respect for Rossi.

Tenacious, so tenacious!

In the second half, the Bournemouth team used their running ability to expand the defensive area, forcing them to be physically overwhelmed in the second half.

Moreover, the intensity of the competition is almost at the same level as the league, and can even be compared with the mid- and upper-tier teams.

If the scoreboard hadn't always reminded them of a three-goal lead, there would always have been a feeling of being overturned at any time.

"Next time, I won't let you tackle."

Gerrard pulled him up and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense, look, the game is almost over."
