……

On October 20th, the Anfield stadium once again ushered in a packed audience of fans. Two weeks later, the fans could continue to cheer for the team at home.

As the champion of the British Championship last season, Reading, who played one game less, is currently ranked No. 3 in the league with a record of 3 draws and 18 losses, which is the bottom three and is in the relegation zone of the league.

同时利物浦此前两次在安菲尔德球场都保持着对雷丁的全胜记录，两队上次相遇是2007-08赛季的英超联赛No.30轮，利物浦2-1力克雷丁。

In this game, the team's main goalkeeper Reina had to miss the game due to a thigh and hamstring injury during the international match. Coach Rodgers replaced Australia's national goalkeeper Brad Jones. Wisdom, Joe Allen and Henderson all appeared in the starting 11 at the same time.

Goalkeeper: Brad Jones.

Defenders: Glenn Johnson, Agger, Skrtel, Wisdom.

DM: Joe Allen.

Midfielders: Henderson, Gerrard.

Forwards: Lin Tian, ​​Suarez, Sterling.

After the start of the game, the offensive rhythm of the two sides was not fast, and there were not many threatening shots.After about 15 minutes of probing, Liverpool, who were playing at home, stepped up their offense, while Reading could only choose to defend under the strong strength of the "LSS" combination. After all, the strengths of both sides are there.

In order to limit the three players on Liverpool's front line, Reading put most of their defense in the midfield, especially against Lin Tian. Reading's defensive players did not hesitate to use tactical fouls to end Lin Tian's offense in front of the penalty area.

Reading's small moves were very successful, but the referee still gave yellow cards to individual defensive players after successive warnings, and Liverpool fans continued to boo the Reading defensive players who were dragging and kicking indiscriminately.

"Reading's head coach, Brian McDermott, did everything he could to limit Liverpool's offense!" Martin Taylor said with emotion in front of the commentary.

"No way, as newly promoted, the gap between them and Liverpool is too big. Although McDermott's tactical foul looks embarrassing to others, it also attracted boos from the home fans. But we have to admit that the tactics of this meritorious head coach who brought Reading to the promotion are very effective. More than half an hour has passed in the game, and Liverpool did not score any goals." Gary Neville analyzed from Reading itself. "Reading wants to gain a foothold in a league with many strong players, so it must have its own survival secrets.

Under Reading's tenacious defense, the first half of the game also ended with a score of 0-0. The "LSS" combination on Liverpool's striker was also completely defeated by Reading's tactical foul play.

After the intermission, the second half changed sides and fought again.At the beginning of the game, Reading coach McDermott made a personnel adjustment, a forced personnel adjustment. The team's midfielder Karakan suffered from stretching in the first half and persisted until the end of the first half. After the intermission, Karakan, who was determined to be unable to continue, was replaced by McCully.

After the arrangement of midfielder Rodgers, in the second half, Liverpool began to play based on possession of the ball and then pass the big foot to the penalty area. Lin Tian and Suarez stayed in Reading's backcourt. Whenever they had a chance, they kicked directly to find them.

……

Henderson passed the ball straight to Sterling near the middle circle in the backcourt. Sterling dribbled the ball forward for a short distance and then distributed the ball to Gerrard.

After passing back and forth, the ball came to Gerrard's feet again. Gerrard looked up and then hoisted his feet to the top of the penalty area because Suarez was asking him for the ball.

The ball came to Suarez's head accurately along a straight line in the air. Suarez headed the ball with his back to the goal and ferried it to Lin Tian on the left. Lin Tian unloaded Suarez's pass with his foot on the penalty area line.Reading's defensive players saw Lin Tian entering the penalty area and no longer dared to foul. They had to retreat to build a defensive line to prevent Lin Tian from further advancing or shooting.

However, facing the Reading defenders in front of him, Lin Tian did not intend to move forward. He passed the ball diagonally to the bottom line on the left with his right foot. At this time, Wisdom had already caught the ball.

Then Wisdom made a cross from the bottom of the full-back. Suarez in the middle of the penalty area jumped high and looked back at the moon. The ball rubbed against the goal post and refracted into the net.

1-0!

Liverpool scored!
"Reading's defense was still found by Rodgers. The long pass uses Suarez as the fulcrum. As long as they reach the penalty area, the Reading defenders dare not continue to make tactical fouls, so they also concede the ball." Gary Neville explained.

"Yes, let's see what changes Reading will make after conceding the ball, and see what other magic weapons McDermott has." Martin Taylor also said.
