Chapter 290 That's What You Are Good at

After returning to the league, Southampton ushered in an away game against Liverpool-the recent schedule is indeed very strict.

This can also be regarded as the Premier League and UEFA's slap in the face for new teams-haven't you been arrogant recently?Then arrange a more difficult schedule for you, so that you can feel the consequences of consecutive matches against strong teams.

That was the case last season, and it is the same this season.

Ji Ya didn't have any opinion on this, but regarded it as a kind of exercise. If the start of last season was not too harsh, then they would not continue to perform well in the second half of the season.

Many things depend on whether you can grasp them well.

Liverpool's lineup has changed a lot this season. After Suarez left, they introduced Celta's Aspas, Seville's Alberto and Hoffenheim's Firmino. The positions of the three forwards are not fixed yet, and Rodgers is still experimenting with the striker lineup.

After all, in addition to these three, Liverpool also has three forwards, Lambert, Sterling and Sturridge. How to choose a suitable partner from among them is also a matter worth choosing.

So although they won three consecutive rounds in the first three rounds, each game was [-]-[-]. Sturridge scored a goal. In the last round, it was a [-]-[-] tie. Sturridge and Moses also scored goals. On, the state is not very good.

Lambert has fallen out of favor because his characteristics do not match Liverpool's current characteristics of fast and flexible attacking in the frontcourt.

So in this game, Lambert, Sterling and Firmino are all on the bench, the starting lineup is Aspers and Moses on the wings, and Sturridge, who scored four goals in four rounds, is the center play.

Lallana is also sitting on the bench. In this game, Liverpool's attacking midfielder is Henderson. Captain Gerrard and Lucas Jr. partner in the midfielder. Lovren starts with Stekel as a central defender.

"There is nothing unusual about Rodgers' tactics. It depends on the personal ability of the forwards. If they hadn't defended well in the first few rounds, and Sturridge's state was amazing, it would be difficult for them to win. In this game, we controlled the midfield. Let them know what top-level midfield pressing is like!" Kiya said before leading the team to set off.

In fact, Liverpool's midfield is not bad.

Henderson is an excellent midfielder. He runs actively, is strong against, has excellent body, and has good technical and organizational skills at his feet.

Lucas Jr. is a rather unusual Brazilian player with excellent running and defense and a wide range of activities.

Needless to say, Gerrard, the Liverpool captain has proved his status and ability with his outstanding performance in the past ten years.

However, in fact, this combination has more than enough running and insufficient technical content. Especially Gerrard is now old and his offensive ability has degraded very much. He can only rely on running to contribute to defense. The entire midfield has no real offensive ability. Creative players rely more on forwards to create opportunities.

Of course, their defense is still very good. After Rogers took office, he first grasped the defense to avoid too much pressure on the team.

Kiya sent a mixed lineup in this game, goalkeeper Keylor Navas, defenders Klein, Luke Shaw, Fonte and Bailly, midfielders Casemiro, Schneiderlin and De Bruyne, The striker hid Ronaldo, allowing Coutinho, Vardy and Lukaku to appear as strikers.

Rogers originally thought that he would use a defensive counterattack to deal with Southampton. Suarez is not there, and it is actually a bit difficult for Southampton to score goals. In this way, Liverpool's good counterattack ability can be used instead.

However, Ji Ya's tactics are based on controlling the midfield, and then counting on certain key players for scoring.

This key player is something Rodgers did not expect.

Whether it's Vardy's running position in the penalty area, or Lukaku's assault on the wing, or even Luke Shaw's forward drive from the wing, De Bruyne's midfield organization and passing... are all for one target service.

That is to give Coutinho enough space to get out.

Southampton controlled the game with possession and movement, while the goal was handed over to Coutinho, who was originally a substitute.

This is a very bold act, but it is full of Kiya's characteristics.

That is to make the opponent really unexpected.

The two sides fell into a stalemate on the field, with a lot of fighting and a lot of mistakes, but there were no good opportunities.

Seeing this scene, Rodgers was relieved. This stalemate is actually good for Liverpool. After all, Liverpool's overall performance is worse, and their overall cooperation is also worse. Disrupting the battle will of course make them better. Give full play to the personal abilities of the frontcourt players.

Just be careful of Lukaku's counterattack when defending.

Lukaku really failed to create any opportunities on the counterattack. Liverpool's defense line was pulled back very far, and there was no room for him to charge up.

But the defense line is pushed back, which means that there will be a lot of space in the midfield.

When the game progressed to No. 603 minutes, Southampton launched an attack.

Lukaku took the ball from the wing. He was about to force a breakthrough. Seeing that there was no gap, he passed the ball to Klein, who came up to meet him, and then ran towards the baseline, ready to meet him.

Klein did not pass the ball to him, but to De Bruyne in the middle.

De Bruyne took the ball, Vardy ran into the penalty area, and even the defense was delayed. De Bruyne lifted the ball and passed the ball to Coutinho next to the top of the arc on the left side of the penalty area. Coutinho took The ball turned and as he turned, Luke Shaw sprinted down the left towards the box, seemingly ready to receive a pass from Coutinho.

Liverpool's defensive attention was attracted again, but Coutinho did not pass the ball. Seeing that no one came up to defend him for the time being, he adjusted slightly, and then suddenly shot with his right foot!

In the left area, adjust it, take a right foot shot, and hit the upper right corner of the goal!

This series of actions was done in one go, the ball quickly flew towards the penalty area, like a cloud-piercing arrow, directly flew into the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal!

Fantastic long shot!

After the goal, Coutinho ran off the field with open arms, and then hugged Kiya!

He would like to thank his coach. If such an offensive tactic hadn't been tailored for him, how could he be undisturbed when he shot?

He is just a substitute, even the third substitute in the midfield and forward positions. Schneiderlin is in the midfield and Nolito is in the left winger. His position is actually not stable. It is not uncommon to say that he is a last substitute. However, Ji Ya actually set up tactics for him, the last substitute!

"That's what you are good at, of course you have to use it well." Ji Ya laughed and patted him on the back.
