Chapter 722 Competing for Rhythm

From the beginning of the game, the two sides launched a confrontation.

Southampton has an advantage in midfield control. After all, Liverpool's midfield is considered the weakest link. Henderson is the core of their midfield, but his organizational skills are not particularly good. Wiener Doom and Milner are also the kind of midfielders who can run well and fight against strong and excellent midfielders. However, they are far inferior to Southampton's midfielders in terms of organization and delicacy.

Therefore, Liverpool's offense has always been through the midfield quickly. Their midfielders play the role of supporting teammates through running, and then continue to attack through the two wings, and then create opportunities for the players in the frontcourt.

To put it bluntly, Liverpool is a bit like a wave-copper head and iron legs tofu waist.

Of course, Milner and the others are not considered tofu, but they are indeed poor in organization, so Liverpool will adopt the tactic of quickly passing through the midfield to launch an attack.

Although this tactic looks rough, it can play a huge role when both full-backs have quite good offensive capabilities.

Amidst the huge cheers of the fans at Anfield, Liverpool began to frantically speed up the pace of the game, trying to drag the game into its accustomed rhythm.

The Southampton players are constantly adjusting their state, trying to control the game at their own pace.

The two sides started a fierce fight around the midfield, but the Southampton players still relied on their own experience and control ability to gradually control the situation on the field.

It was Liverpool who took the lead.

Milner's long-range shot made Gulac dare not neglect. He punched the ball out, but the ball fell to Salah's feet. After receiving the ball, the Egyptian striker quickly turned around and shot. Maguire appeared in his shooting path in time. Up, block the ball with your body.

After being led by Liverpool with a threatening attack, Southampton quickly launched a counterattack.

After passing back and forth in the midfield, DePaul gave it to De Bruyne on the right. De Bruyne pretended to make a direct pass, but gave the ball to Cancelo who advanced forward. Cancelo made a bottom pass. Vardy kicked his foot forward and shot the ball slightly wide of the near post.

There were exclamations from the stands. This wave of Southampton's attack did indeed appear to be quite a threat.

After completing this offense, Southampton's next offense began to look quite smooth.

What they are best at is to continue to attack after establishing a certain advantage in the midfield.

For a while, Liverpool's midfielder could only intercept Southampton's offense by running continuously.

After passing back and forth in the midfield, Southampton bypassed the center and launched an attack from the two wings. Through the breakthrough and pass of Grealish and De Bruyne, they created opportunities and suppressed the opponent's two full-backs at the same time. The midfield was too disturbed.

Under such circumstances, Southampton's offense made it quite difficult for Liverpool to resist.

But at this time Van Dijk showed his value. Although he and Lovren had not cooperated, they relied on his experience to constantly block Southampton's offense.

At least, he is familiar with Vardy and Du Yue.

However, Vardy and Du Yue are also very familiar with him, knowing that this guy's frontal defense ability is quite good, so attacking him from the side will be more effective.

Although Van Dijk is also a very flexible central defender, he also needs someone to help him fill his position. Otherwise, a tall central defender will always suffer a disadvantage when facing a flexible forward.

This has nothing to do with strength, but with mutual restraint.

In the No. 17 minute of the game, Southampton played a beautiful match.

Du Yue, who was pulling the side, received the ball, and then made a pass from the bottom on the right. Vardy took off from the back point, and Van Dijk went to make up for it. Although he couldn't stop Vardy from grabbing the spot, he could interfere with his header.

However, Vardy did not head the goal, but chose to ferry the ball to the center at the back point. De Bruyne, who advanced forward, appeared at the point of the ball in time, grabbing Lovren's replacement and Before Henderson returned to the defense, he kicked and shot directly against the falling ball!

The ball quickly flew into Liverpool's goal. For such a close-range push, the gods couldn't save the ball.

The sighs of Liverpool fans sounded in the stands, and De Bruyne started his own celebration. In fact, he has not scored too few goals, but in the past two years, he has been more used to organizing passes from behind. This time he decisively Forward insertion is relatively rare in the past two years.

And a top player like him, as long as he appears in a threatening place, his shots can also create a huge threat!

After being scored first by Southampton, Liverpool's players were not greatly affected.

They are not ranked high or low now, so their mentality is also very stable. Klopp did not put extra pressure on them in this game, just let them show their state.

So after being scored first by Southampton, they launched a fast break more actively.

Southampton can't control the midfield, they have to play faster when they have the opportunity to attack, and let the Southampton players follow their rhythm!

This made the rhythm of the game gradually faster, and Liverpool's pressing in the frontcourt also began to strengthen. Although Southampton's players were not too worried about this, the intensity of the opponent's frontcourt pressing was indeed very high.

They relied on a frontcourt press to score the equalizing goal.

After a Liverpool corner kick was taken, Southampton made a clearance in the melee in the penalty area. The ball flew to the front of the penalty area. Phillips tried to control the ball and pass the ball forward, but Wijnaldum and Mirr Na teamed up to press and lost the ball. Wijnaldum immediately passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Salah adjusted slightly after taking the ball and decisively shot with his left foot!

The shot was a beautiful curve ball, the ball went over both players in the penalty area, and then headed into the far corner of the goal!

Even though Gulachi made a saving action, he could only do nothing in the face of this absolute world wave!

There was a huge cheer from the stands, and Salah rushed down the stands to meet the cheers of everyone.

It was his eighth league goal of the season.

Ji Ya shook his head helplessly. Being able to score this kind of world wave shows that Salah is indeed a top player. It is a pity that he did not perform well at Chelsea. After training in Rome, his worth It is very high, and this summer, Ji Ya wants to change the lineup and not use wingers, so he missed such an excellent striker.

But it doesn't matter, this game still has to be played.
