Coach, I want to play football!
Chapter 539
Rogers had high hopes for Benteke, but Benteke's performance in the first half was somewhat disappointing.
Not only did it not play the role of a fulcrum, the key is that the timing and opportunity of the shot are also quite different.
With this performance, how did Aston Villa score more than double digits for three consecutive seasons?
Rogers didn't understand this, but he knew that the person he asked to buy would use it with tears in his eyes.
He decided to give the Belgian center some time. If it was still like this in the first half of the second half, he could only make substitutions and adjust.
Throughout the first half, the team was basically affected by the offensive performance, which caused problems on the defensive end.
Lallana and Coutinho's dual-core frontcourt performed well, and the interspersed running positions are not bad.But just can't play the game, the new Firmino still lacks some cooperation with the team.
This caused Henderson in the middle to frequently insert, so that the midfielder was often undefended.
Every time Leicester City's counterattack is big, they basically face the central defender or even the goalkeeper.In addition to the scoring efficiency of Ye Qi and Vardy, as long as such a counterattack completes the shot and the shot is on target, basically it will not be able to run.
After the start of the second half, Rodgers made some adjustments and German midfielder Emre Can came on.
Although Emre Can is young, he has comprehensive technical abilities.
In addition to being able to defend, he can handle the ball and pass.After Gerrard retired, Liverpool's main midfield combination was Henderson's partner Emre Can most of the time, Lucas Leiva played in rotation, and Rodgers' confidant, Joe Allen, played as a substitute.
After Emre Can entered the field, Ye Qi clearly felt that the opponent strengthened their defense in the midfield.Although Henderson frequently advances, but with the German midfielder delaying defense, the Red Army's midfield will not be defeated like in the first half.
In 1 minute, Coutinho's dribble broke through Inle.The Brazilian is too flexible for him to handle.
After Coutinho broke through with the ball, he did not pass the ball to Benteke, who raised his hand to ask for the ball at the front end, but gave it to the Brazilian fellow Firmino behind the opponent.
Firmino took the ball and turned around to face Kante. Of course he knew that Kante was difficult to deal with.So after slightly pulling the ball laterally to drive Kanter away, he suddenly passed the ball across the front of the penalty area.
Henderson, who came in later, took a long shot, and followed this powerful shot into the net!
Little Schmeichel, who missed the ball, shook his head helplessly.
After the ball, Ranieri also started substitution adjustments.Midfielder Inle was substituted for Drinkwater God Linkwater, then right back Simpson came on as a substitute for Belgian right back De Wright.
Both substitutions are signals to strengthen the defense.
For his defense on the right, Ranieri was a little dissatisfied in the first half, so this adjustment came a little later.
The exception is Inle who can hold the ball in midfield and shoot from long range.However, the protection in front of the central defender is still a bit weak. With the offensive combination of Ye Qi, Vardy and Mahrez in the frontcourt, the defense in the middle is more important.
After all, my team's counterattacks are very simple, and there is no need for such complicated ball control and long-range shooting capabilities. After all, most of the team's firing power belongs to Ye Qi and Vardy.
Drinkwater played with Kanter and partnered with the double defensive midfielder, and it actually received a miraculous effect. The two defended the midfield and the backcourt impeccably, and even pushed the press into the opponent's half!
This is something Ranieri did not expect, because his previous plan was to choose between Kanter and Drinkwater.One of the two plays the main force and the other plays the rotation, so that his team will not lack a defensive midfielder at all.
As a result, I did not expect that after the two partnered, the offensive combination of Coutinho, Firmino and Lallana would find too many opportunities.
"Midfield meat grinder combination!"
It was the word Ranieri could think of.
Morgan and Huth breathed a sigh of relief, because after Drinkwater came on the field, their defensive tasks were much easier!
After stabilizing the defense, Leicester City's counterattack became more handy.Because Kanter and Drinkwater's defense made Ye Qi feel at ease, at least they don't have to worry about the opponent getting an offensive opportunity because their offense didn't open up the situation.
In fact, with Drinkwater and Emre Can, the head coaches of both sides thought of going together, that is to stabilize the defense of the midfield and increase the interception firepower of the midfield!
No. 60 minutes, Albrighton sent a subtle assist from the wing.Ye Qi made a false jump in the middle of the road. After attracting Skrtel to take off, he immediately turned around and went behind the opponent to get the ball.
And Skrtel also took the lead!
Ye Qi who got the ball moved forward with the ball, and Vardy ran diagonally forward to signal Ye Qi to pass the ball.But Ye Qi didn't hand the ball to Vardy, because the central defender Sacco watched closely beside Vardy.
After attracting the attention of the opponent's defender, Ye Qi made a long pass and found Mahrez on the right!
Mahrez took the ball and shook Moreno away with a fake move, and then passed it straight to Vardy in front.
Vardy got the ball with his back against Sakho, and he can get the ball in front of Sakho in this position.And if Ye Qi passed the ball to him, Sacco would easily steal the ball in front of him.
It seemed that he was going to take the ball inside and turn around, but Vardy suddenly turned around outside, then dunked the ball, knocked half of Sakho's body away, and shot decisively!
Emre Can suddenly appeared in the penalty area in the middle. When he returned to the defense, he took the turn of Vardy's shot and the football flew high over the goal crossbar.
The ball startled the goalkeeper Mignolet twice. The first jump was Vardy's shot. The shot that turned around and shook Sakho was amazing.
Can you imagine this guy playing in the amateur league before?Even if he played in the Premier League last season, his performance was average?Why did the new season start........ start hanging up?
The second jump was Emre Can's clearance. This kid stretched his feet facing the goal to make a clearance!If one is not done well, the angle is a bit off, the position is not accurate, and the opponent shoots the ball faster, it is easy to score an own goal!
Mignolet patted Emre Can on the head, and he didn't know whether to praise the German kid for his excellent clearance, or to let him avoid some frightening clearances.
In the defensive corner kick, Ye Qi became Liverpool's key target. After all, everyone knew his ability as a big center forward.
What's more, Ye Qi's muscles have increased a little this season, and now he can compete with each other with strength even against the muscular central defenders of the Premier League.
Skrtel mainly marks Ye Qi, and Emre Can is on the sidelines, ready to take over the second point at any time.
But Albrighton's corner kick did not go to Ye Qi, but to Captain Morgan.
Although central defender Morgan is not young, he has muscles all over his body!His height is only 1.8 meters five, two centimeters shorter than Ye Qi, but his weight is 93 kilograms!7 kg heavier than Ye Qi, this muscle strength can be imagined!
Sacco has no way to keep an eye on Morgan. The French central defender is 10 kilograms behind Morgan!
In the penalty area, Morgan was like a heavy tank directly crushing Sakho, and then hit the goal with a header!
Mignolet jumped sideways to block the ball with a monkey, but the ball was so fast from close range that the ball flew into the goal before he could reach out.
Three to one!
This warm-up match directly stunned Liverpool!
