Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 448 The terrifying strength of Liverpool under Klopp!
Cristiano Ronaldo has always wanted to be strong, and it is normal for him not to accept his old age.

After all, so far, he is far behind Messi and even Lin Quan in the honor book, and he still needs to work hard to fill this gap.

Careful fans have compared in detail the data of the three superstars in today's football in terms of national team, club and personal honors.

The statistical results are not favorable to Ronaldo.

As for the national team, Cristiano Ronaldo has not won any awards so far, but Messi at least has an Olympic championship.

Lin Quan has the most honors in this area. He holds the Confederations Cup and World Cup championships, one position ahead of the unrivaled duo.

In terms of club and Champions League honors, Ronaldo has won three league titles and one Champions League title in the Premier League.

After joining Real Madrid, he also won a league championship for Real Madrid, but did not win the Champions League trophy.

As for Messi, he is undoubtedly the one with the most club honors among the three.

He won a total of 7 league titles and 3 Champions League titles with Barcelona.

Lin Quan debuted relatively late, so he has fewer championships than both of them.

But he was very efficient, winning two league titles and two Champions League titles in the two seasons after joining Manchester City.

If this efficiency continues, it is not too far away for Lin Quan to catch up with or even overtake Messi in terms of club honors.

In terms of personal honors, Messi has won 4 Ballon d'Or trophies, Ronaldo has won two, and Lin Quan has won one.

Overall, Ronaldo has a huge disadvantage compared to Messi.

However, compared to the rising star Lin Quan, he still has a slight advantage in terms of club performance and personal honors.

But with Lin Quan's current stone, this advantage may soon be erased.

Especially in terms of personal honors, although he has one more Golden Globe Award than Lin Quan.

But this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is coming soon, and this year's Golden Globe winner has already lost its suspense.

Last season, under the leadership of Lin Quan, Manchester City not only achieved two consecutive league championships, but also successfully defended the Champions League title.

These two honors combined can only be offset by a World Cup title.

But there was no international competition last year, so the club's results were the most important criterion.

Compared with Lin Quan, Cristiano Ronaldo gained nothing at the club last year, not even the league or the Champions League.

Messi's situation is similar to his, and Messi is more affected by injuries and his attendance rate is not very high. Even if the judges have fan filters, they can't offset Lin Quan's huge performance advantage.

Therefore, the outside world generally believes that Lin Quan's winning of this year's Golden Globe Award is already a certainty, and the controversy will be very small.

Once Lin Quan wins this year's Golden Globe Award, he will tie Ronaldo for the number of times he has won the Golden Globe Award.

This wiped out what little advantage Ronaldo had left!
Therefore, Ronaldo is now filled with a sense of crisis. He is working so hard in the league and Champions League just to avoid being caught up by Lin Quan, and at the same time he also wants to close the gap with Messi.

Ronaldo is desperate, but Real Madrid's lineup has flaws.

After the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, they returned to La Liga and were immediately taught how to behave by the resentful Sevilla.

At the Pizjuan Stadium, Sevilla squared off and had an offensive battle with the top-ranked Galaxy Battleship.

Real Madrid, which has always been proud of La Liga with its powerful offensive power, actually lost to the king of the Europa League in this offensive battle.

This defeat left La Liga fans in an uproar!
The seemingly unstoppable Galaxy Battleship was actually forced to stop by Sevilla?

Although everyone likes to watch the drama of the weak defeating the strong, Real Madrid represents the face of La Liga!

He lost to Sevilla, and Sevilla was beaten twice by Manchester City. They were beaten so hard that they were unable to fight back!
Calculated in this way, wouldn't it mean that the strength gap between Real Madrid and Manchester City is very large?
When thinking of this, La Liga fans suddenly became worried.

Not only are they worried, but Ronaldo, who has done nothing in this game, and the entire Real Madrid club are also worried.

In this game, Real Madrid had a problem in the midfield. It can even be said that the midfielder was blown away!

After Xabi Alonso left, they lacked a commander in the midfield and backcourt.

Although there is Modric in the team, Modric's position is more similar to the attacking midfielder. The team's brain and metronome in the defensive midfielder position have always been vacant.

Real Madrid originally wanted to buy Kroos, but Manchester City took the lead and their plan was ruined. Fortunately, Casemiro's return has strengthened Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt.

Casemiro is excellent both offensively and defensively and can be called a polygonal warrior.

But in terms of command, dispatching and organizational skills, there is obviously a big gap between him and the top midfielders.

In this game, although Sevilla had 10% less ball possession than Real Madrid, they were ahead of them in two key statistics: number of passes and pass success rate.

If you cannot limit the opponent's passing, you will naturally be unable to stop the opponent's offense.

This is just Sevilla. If they meet Manchester City, who are better at this, will Real Madrid take the lead?

However, just as Real Madrid finished worrying, good news came from the Premier League. Manchester City was tied with Aston Villa in an away game!
This game not only made Real Madrid extremely excited, but also relieved fans in the Premier League and even the major leagues in European football.

Manchester City has won 11 consecutive games. If they continue this winning streak, they will really become an invincible team. By then, other teams will not even have the courage to face them.

Now Aston Villa's draw came at the right time. It not only ended Manchester City's winning streak, but also made all the offensive firepower they were proud of mute.

The final score of this game is 0:0!

This kind of score is very rare for Manchester City, because they have the most luxurious attacking group in football today, and they have not kept a clean sheet for a long time.

As a result, this game attracted widespread attention from the entire football world after the game.

Countless experts and coaches began to study, trying to figure out what Aston Villa relied on to survive Manchester City's offense?
Although Aston Villa is not a strong team, it is not a weak team either.In the past few seasons, many giants have lost to them.

In the past few seasons, their characteristics are very distinctive, that is, they are physically strong, active in fighting, extremely good at physical confrontation, and like to commit fouls when necessary.

Because of his rough skills at his feet, sometimes you don’t even know whether he is going for people or for the ball. Therefore, in the past few seasons, Aston Villa’s card rate was very scary, five or six in a game. Yellow cards are simply standard, and seven or eight yellow cards have even appeared. The typical one is the battle with Chelsea last season!
Although they have restrained in fouling in the past two seasons, they have retained their advantages of being good at physical confrontation and liking to fight.

Their tactics in this game were very simple. Put a fast forward in front and let him contain Manchester City's defense from the outside.

The other players all retracted into their own half and set up their buses. If Manchester City attacked, they would engage in hand-to-hand combat with Manchester City, using physical confrontation or even fouls to prevent Manchester City's passing and cooperation.

Once you get the ball, just kick it forward, don't overdo the midfield organization, just pass the ball long and you're done!
This tactic is very retro, but very effective!

The players who have just finished their Champions League away journey are not very physically fit.

The opponent's tactics greatly increase their passive running distance. In addition, they have to deal with the opponent's physical fight, and their physical energy consumption rate further increases.

As a result, before the first half was over, some Manchester City players suffered from leg cramps.

Guardiola saw that something was wrong, so he made a decisive substitution in the second half and replaced him with a group of young substitute players.

However, there are only three substitutions. When the whole team's physical condition is in question, this method of substitution has a very limited effect.

In addition, the ability and experience of the young players were still inferior compared to the main players. Facing Aston Villa's intensive defense, they were a little overwhelmed and ended up with a regrettable draw.

In fact, after research, Aston Villa's tactics are not complicated.

But it is still a bit difficult for other teams to copy it.

However, Liverpool, next door to Manchester City, said that I can give it a try!
November 11, Etihad Stadium.

Klopp brought a new look to Liverpool and taught the world a good lesson, telling them how to beat Manchester City!
Liverpool got off to a fantastic start at the Etihad Stadium.

Only 2 minutes into the game, the Manchester City defender made a mistake in clearing the ball and kicked the ball into his own goal, giving the opponent a big gift!

The lead was established early, making every Liverpool player extremely excited.

In this game, they ran extremely actively. Although there were obviously the same number of people in the midfield, they had the effect of running one more player.

In addition to active running, Liverpool also fully implemented Klopp's high-pressing tactics.

They have learned from Aston Villa's successful experience, and based on the Premier League referee's penalty scale, during physical confrontation, they appropriately increase the intensity without getting a card, and sometimes it doesn't even count as a foul!
This kind of rampant play makes Manchester City very uncomfortable.

They haven't played against a team of this style for a long time, and the opponent seemed to have a youthful storm on the court.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Liverpool played exquisite cooperation in the frontcourt, and Firmino assisted Coutinho to score a goal.

Seven minutes later, Coutinho returned the favor and gave Firmino another assist.

When the game reached the 30th minute, the score on the field was already 0:3.

The Manchester City fans who came to the scene were in an uproar!
When was the last time they saw their team trail this much at home?
It feels so far away that I can’t remember clearly!

But now, this bright red score of 0:3 is placed in front of them. Even if they want to be ostriches, they can bury their heads in the sand and pretend not to see it.

They are angry!

The fans of the Red Army who traveled with the team saw their team knocking out three opponents at Manchester City's home court. They were all overjoyed and hugged each other to celebrate excitedly.

Meanwhile, in Liverpool's pubs, in front of TV sets and online.

The news that Liverpool led Manchester City 3:0 at the start spread quickly like thunder!
"Is Liverpool going to go against the grain?"

"It's so strong. It can actually defeat Manchester City, which is at its peak, in such a mess. It's worthy of my great Liverpool!"

"It has to be the Red Army. Who among the other teams can play such a soul-stirring offense?"

"Calm down, don't do anything stupid!"

"Klopp does have something. He has brought Liverpool to this level in less than half a year. If you give him a few more years, haha, I feel like we have a chance to win the league championship!"

Liverpool has won the Champions League, but has not won the league title in more than 20 years.

The biggest regret of the legendary captain Gerrard who just left the team this summer is that he failed to win the league trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of the English Football League, with his teammates.

But now, after many years of sinking, seeing the new Red Army exuding vitality under Klopp, the fans of the Red Army were so excited that they couldn't help themselves, and some even shed tears of joy.

It's not easy, it's not easy. After all these years, are Liverpool finally going to get through it?
"Don't be too happy, but don't forget the miracle of Istanbul!"

Just when the Internet was filled with a feeling that Liverpool was going to punch Manchester City, kick Manchester United, and return as the king, someone stood up in time and poured cold water on it.

"That's right, it's not the time to pop the champagne at halftime. With Manchester City's strength, they will never admit defeat so easily. There is still a long time in the next game, enough for them to launch a counterattack or even equalize the score!"

Liverpool once staged a shocking comeback when they were three goals behind, and their opponent, Manchester City, was actually stronger than the Liverpool team that year.

In addition, the opponent's lineup also includes superstars like Lin Quan and the unpredictable genius coach Guardiola.

No one can guarantee that they will win this game.

If it is too early to be happy now, but in the end they suffer a comeback by Manchester City, then the boomerang they laughed at AC Milan back then will fall on their own heads.

Manchester City fans and players were indeed a little confused at first, mainly because they had not experienced this kind of situation for too long.

This year, whether in the league or the Champions League, Manchester City has been fighting a smooth battle. It is rare to even fall behind, let alone such a scene of falling behind by three goals in the first 30 minutes. That is really rare. Pass.

But after all, they were a team that had won two Champions League championships. How could they be defeated so easily?
What's more, this is the Etihad Stadium. How can we tolerate a group of Liverpool people running wild on their territory?
So, starting from the 30th minute, Manchester City launched a vigorous counterattack!
