565 Return to the body!
Liverpool's style of playing in the second half did not change drastically, but the details were more focused on rhythm and timing.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Liverpool attacked in the midfield, and Casemiro made a long diagonal pass to Gerald on the right side of the frontcourt. The latter had the advantage of physical confrontation and high-altitude ball over Sunica.
So when Gerald topped the ball into the penalty area, Suniga was helpless. Gareth Bale made an amazing move between Albiol and Bristol and shot in reverse!
The embarrassing result is that he kicked empty!
But he touched the football slightly on the outside of his foot, which slightly changed the direction of the football. Gareth Bale, who was lying on the ground, couldn't help laughing and laughing at himself.
Liverpool fans were so happy that if the ball was scored, it would definitely be an extremely exciting and shocking goal, but unfortunately they didn't hit it!
Marjo stopped the ball in the backcourt of the wing, and without waiting for Coutinho to come forward and grab the ball, he kicked the ball forward with a big foot.
Situ Yunbing frowned slightly on the sidelines. Did Naples not stand the pressure of Liverpool's counterattack and was forced to clear the ball?
Seeing Callehon running forward quickly, he didn't seem to be activating passively, but had a certain tacit understanding with Ma Qiao.
Robertson quickly returned to defense and passed the ball back to goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
When Ter Stegen adjusted the ball and passed the ball to Azpilicueta, Situ Yunbing's expression changed subtly.
He and Benitez couldn't help but look at each other.
It coincides!
Liverpool wants to defeat the enemy by his way, and Naples directly returns to him!
Because Napoli players launched an active pressing defense near the midfield, Azpilicueta had little chance to connect with his midfield teammates.
Once he makes a mistake in the ball, Liverpool's defense will face a catastrophe!
Insigne quickly stepped forward to press, Azpilicueta hit the ball across to Scotter, who then overpowered the ball to Van Dijk, and Van Dijk made a long pass directly.
The football was thrown out by Bristol on the penalty area line.
Liverpool immediately launched a counter-attack, and Higuain easily defeated Kanter in the retreat and headed the ball back.
Hamsik followed up with a diagonal pass to Inler who was running.
Before Casemiro blocked, Inle took a long pass from the top and hanged the ball towards the area behind Robertson.
Callehon quickly stepped forward again. This time he touched the ball before Robertson, and stopped and switched inward!
Seeing that Callehong had already formed a half-single sword!
Van Dijk took big steps back to defend and decisively made a shovel, rushing to Liverpool's penalty area before Callehon changed direction and accelerated again.
Ter Stegen attacked and kicked the ball towards the right and handed it to Azpilicueta who was retracing.
call.
There is no danger.
There was a strange trend on the field, and both teams played very simply in the offense.
It seemed to have turned into a shallow offensive and defensive confrontation.
But in fact, the coaches of both teams know that they are catching their opponent's mistakes!
This will greatly reduce the team's fault tolerance rate. Once a person makes a mistake, the overall defense will collapse in an all-round way!
Three minutes later, Liverpool, who had made several long passes, suddenly changed its offensive style.
When Azpilicueta made a quick assist and went to the front court again, Napoli was caught off guard because this was Azpilicueta's first assist in the front court in the second half, and it had been almost 15 minutes in the second half!
Insigne failed to return to defense this time, resulting in Suniga's defense zone being penetrated!
Azpilicueta adjusted his move after receiving Gerald's pass in front of the baseline, and then sent the cross!
This cross was still cleared by defender Albior in the penalty area.
When Napoli thought their counterattack was coming, the players facing their own goal did not realize that there were many Liverpool players coming from behind!
When Inle tried to stop the ball, Casemiro suddenly squeezed him away and then gave the ball to nearby Eriksen. The latter dribbled forward for two steps and encountered Behrami. He quickly completed the wall-to-walk with Gerald and then rushed to the right front of the penalty area.
At this time, Hamsik rushed over to press, Erikson then shorted the ball to the middle of the penalty area, and Gareth Bale pushed the ball back diagonally under the attack of Bristol and Albiol.
Coutinho cut across and shot without making adjustments!
The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal without any slight rotation!
Goalkeeper DeSantis was blocked from sight, his movement and save were slow. After rushing out, he watched the football flew into the goal in despair against the inside of the right post!
After scoring the goal, Coutinho rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal!
Anfield Stadium is hustle and bustle!
"Liverpool achieved a score overtake! Coutinho's shot is impeccable!
Liverpool's offense this time was also very smooth, which was a ground pass-through and cut cooperation that they rarely tear apart in this game.
Behrami and Hamsik are hard to beat four-handed with two fists, and after they have just successfully defended, they are hit by Liverpool's ground offensive attack, which really requires too high response and adaptability to the players.
Liverpool leads Napoli 2:1 at home!”
Situ Yunbing clenched his fists and smashed it hard. This goal was very critical!
Benitez was a little disappointed, and at the same time showed a reflection.
Perhaps from a global perspective, no Napoli player made a low-level mistake just now. Inle lost to Casemiro in the confrontation, Eriksen and Gerrard passed and cut to break through Behrami, and Bale then tied the defense line to make the ball to Coutinho. It was very smooth and Liverpool's offensive performance was too outstanding.
However, the fatal point is that Situ Yunbing's adjustment is to strengthen the first half of the game.
Incorporating changes in rhythm and confusing opponents’ playing style switches, frequent and simple long passes create the illusion of no threat, and then suddenly make the focus!
But Benitez's midfield adjustment is to learn from Liverpool's style of play, and they also want to create threats by playing against Liverpool.
But one thing is that Benitez is also a little obsessed with the road to restricting his opponents, that is, Naples is not good at playing like this!
Putting aside Situ Yunbing's experience in playing style in Monaco, he must be more meticulous in implementing tactical requirements for players.
The current Liverpool team must have implemented his tactical philosophy when honing defense last season. At the same time, the players who joined the new season are all veterans of his time in Hamburg. If people's impression of Hamburg is that they stayed in the Champions League final more than a year ago, they will understand that the tactics they adopted to curb Chelsea's counterattack were closely related to this style of play.
Therefore, Liverpool is far better than Naples in tactical execution.
Benitez has been coaching Naples for only two months. His weakness in controlling the team is actually in on-site command, because he has ideas, but the team's overall execution does not have the basis of past experience.
This leads to the effect that Naples showed was not as good as the counterattack tactics they fought in the first half. At least that counterattack tactic was carefully prepared by them, rather than being able to fight with a temporary intention.
Now that Benitez is aware of this problem, he decisively gestures to the team to make them return to their previous strategy.
Situ Yunbing also gestured to the team to change their tactical posture.
When each other is the same, the change in the score is the change in the situation.
It has to be said that Liverpool has definitely made great efforts to overtake now.
Benitez's Napoli put a lot of pressure on him in the first half and made Liverpool a little passive.
Now Situ Yunbing couldn't help but laugh at himself. After the first round of the game, he still wanted to remind Klopp. It seems that Dortmund's loss to Napoli is not unfair. I believe Klopp was caught off guard by Benitez!
However, Benitez's methods and means against Klopp must be very different from those of Liverpool today. After all, Liverpool and Dortmund also have differences in style and strength.
After Napoli kicked off, Liverpool's overall formation retreated a lot, especially the positions of Casemiro and Kante, which remained very close to the back line, while Eriksen served as the central defender and was responsible for offense and defense in the midfield.
Naples had to organize an offensive patiently in positional warfare, but in the end they had to find a breakthrough from the wing.
It is obvious that Liverpool's defense on Robertson's side is weaker, so they also want to open the gap from this side.
When Callehon and Inle cooperated on the sidelines, although Callehon was at the bottom, there was no room for incision. Even if Robertson could not stop being broken by the opponent, he would only put the outside line to the opponent and strictly prevent the inside line.
He gradually found his own position under pressure, avoided making mistakes as much as possible, and caused irreversible losses to the defense line.
Callejon did not choose to cross, because no matter how you look at Van Dijk, he will definitely block Higuain!
So he knocked the ball back diagonally back to the middle outside the penalty area. When Hamsik attacked, Kante took the lead and wade the ball halfway!
Hamsik stopped suddenly and turned around and almost shivered!
Liverpool strikes back!
Erikson received a pass from Kanter from the back of the center circle, and then sent the ball to the right of the frontcourt with a long pass.
After stopping the ball at the extreme, Geraldra faced Suniga's top snatch and passed the ball in the middle.
Gareth Bale took the initiative to run to the reception and suddenly dribbled the ball and accelerated forward!
Behrami scored on the ground. Gareth Bale rushed past him and continued to rush forward. Albiol and Bristol followed with heavy pressure to defend, but Gareth Bale was too fast, so Albiol could only go forward and defend. Gareth Bale's speed did not decrease, so he directly waded the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and then quickly bypassed Albiol to score the ball!
Albiol was powerless to stop Gareth Bale, who was suddenly as crazy as a demon!
For Gareth Bale, as long as he gives him space, he can give you a rumbling world of movement!
Bristol rushed to clear the ball, but unexpectedly Gareth Bale killed in front of him first, then dribble and finally got rid of it. Goalkeeper DeSantis had already attacked, Gareth Bale didn't have much room to change directions and adjust it again. Coutinho had not followed up yet, so he could only rely on himself at this time.
So he shot a quick shot!
The football flew up, and DeSantis subconsciously jumped and saved!
At the critical moment, DeSantis touched the football slightly with his fingertips. Under the gaze of everyone, the football bounced up in front of the Naples goal and then flew out of the bottom line through the outside of the left post.
The Liverpool fans sighed all over the game, and then the applause was thunderous.
Naples fans were still scared of being on pins and needles!
Gareth Bale looked at the football flying out of the baseline, shook his head slightly, and then shouted at the referee.
Because the referee awarded Napoli a goal.
Gareth Bale kept signaling to the referee that the opponent's goalkeeper DeSantis had touched the football!
He was a little excited, the reason was very simple. If DeSantis had not touched football, he would not have missed it!
That would definitely be an extremely exciting goal!
But now the referee believes that DeSantis did not touch the ball, which made him unacceptable.
He rushed over to find the referee to argue, and captain Gerald had to go and pull Bell away, and then as the captain, he then made a theory with the referee.
Obviously, Gareth Bale was overreacting this ball.
Perhaps he played a little uncomfortable for most of this game, his space was squeezed, and he was a guest center. He finally had another chance to play, but he was only a few centimeters away from the goal.
Chapter completed!
