Chapter 1070 Christmas Champion ([-])

Klopp did not blame Zhang Yuan for his lack of performance. He hoped to increase the variables. In the past, Zhang Yuan was not like this in games against other teams. Liverpool can often benefit from his forced breakthrough. He needs Zhang Yuan resumed his previous actions.

Klopp didn't know, and Zhang Yuan didn't know. Since coming out of the shadow of the national team, Liverpool has encountered another period of difficulty. It has lost three consecutive games, which has already made Zhang Yuan feel worried. The more worried he is about the championship, the more he will In the game, I am afraid of losing, afraid of making mistakes, and dare not make moves.

He has scored three goals recently, but one of them was a penalty kick, one free kick, and the other was scored in a chaotic battle by catching the opponent's penalty area by mistake. In fact, he did not show a superior state, just the statistics On the surface, it seems that he is the best one in Liverpool.

"At the end of the intermission, the two teams returned to the field. Neither Klopp nor Ranieri made personnel adjustments for the time being. In the first half, Leicester seemed to be at a disadvantage. In fact, it was not particularly obvious. Apart from Zhang Yuan's shot which hit the corner, Liverpool didn't have any decent threats. They only completed 5 shots in the first half, and none of them hit the target! Director Zhang, what do you think of Liverpool? What will change in the second half?!" Zhou Qiang asked Director Zhang at the beginning of the second half.

"Liverpool's offense is not smooth. There are not many ways to deal with Leicester City's dense defense. They still have a lot of considerations when attacking. The two sides did not really take advantage of it! I don't know Klopp in the second half. Will you let your team attack with all their strength?" Director Zhang analyzed Liverpool's offense from the performance of the first half of the game, and his overall performance meant that Liverpool had reservations and did not use all their strength on offense.

Liverpool did have some reservations. The players were lost in the continuous invincibility. Didn't Klopp have it? The defensive level is declining, and he does not dare to let the team let go of the attack, which is tantamount to giving up his own advantages. If Zhang Yuan's performance in the second half still does not improve much, then he will definitely ask the team to attack aggressively , his nature of choice will not change, advocating offense.

Ranieri naturally responds to changes with the same. He first has to see what adjustments Liverpool will make after the second half.

After receiving Klopp's suggestion, Zhang Yuan finally remembered in the second half that he wanted to play football according to his own ideas. Let's give way to any victory now!
In this game, his space of movement was limited to the wing. In the first half, because he went to the center a few times, Leicester City's defense in the center was tighter, and he could find less space. Of course, the days on the wing were not good Fortunately, he tried to take advantage of the width of the field, but Fuchs was very strict with him. As far as Zhang Yuan moved to the side, Fuchs was as far away as possible. Looking at Zhang Yuan, his eyes were all green, as if he was about to kill someone.

Ranieri soon discovered a problem on the edge of the court. Zhang Yuan has become more courageous now. After retreating to respond, instead of passing the ball, he often chooses another way to directly force Fuchs .

Fuchs had the same problem as Zhang Yuan in the fight for the top, but when Zhang Yuan got the ball at his feet, Fuchs' life was a bit difficult. Ranieri thought that his double-teaming tactics were successful. After all, Zhang Yuan didn't do much in the first half, but not long after the second half, he realized that it wasn't that his double-teaming was very strong, but that Zhang Yuan didn't let go of his courage at all.

Now Zhang Yuan let go of his guts. In the 49th minute, Zhang Yuan took the ball for the first time in the second half. Facing the double-teaming of Fuchs, Drinkwater and Albrighton, he still chose to go beyond. However, the pace of his feet was still very fast, and none of the three of them could seal Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan sent a direct slash through ball from the double-team. Firmino succeeded in countering offside and shot. If the angle was not too small, the goal might have been scored.

Ranieri anxiously yelled at Fuchs and others, just as Zhang Yuan's side was approaching this side in the second half, and he could clearly hear Ranieri say: "Stop him, compress the space!"

Fuchs is really suffering and can't tell why it's so easy. Zhang Yuan's pace is too fast and his ball control ability is strong. It is difficult to steal the ball from his feet, and this is just after halftime. Leicester The defensive formation is not chaotic, Fuchs naturally will not want to foul, the loss outweighs the gain.

This game has been played in a relatively civilized manner so far, especially Leicester City. Their fouls are only 4 times, which is less than Liverpool. The game is very civilized. There is only one reason for this. This is not like a Premier League team, nor is it like Klopp's Liverpool. Leicester can rely on formation positions to resolve most of Liverpool's attacks, and naturally there will not be too many fouls .

"A beautiful pass! Liverpool almost broke through the goal guarded by Schmeichel! This is Zhang Yuan's first threatening pass in the second half, and there were two in the first half, but Liverpool's follow-up was slow. This time Firmino finally completed the shot, but unfortunately Firmino's speed is not enough, the angle of the shot is already very small when he catches the ball! Director Zhang, let's see if this is a change for Liverpool in the second half, use Zhang Yuan With his personal ability, he forcibly tore apart Leicester City's defensive system?!" Zhou Qiang asked.

"It should be like this! In the first half, Zhang Yuan seldom passed the ball like this. In the second half, he was still fearless in the double-teaming of the three of Fuchs and the others. He dared to make moves. This should be Klopp's specialty. Request!" Director Zhang nodded and said yes.

"Looking like this, Leicester City has to be careful! Once Zhang Yuan really enters the state, it will be a very bad thing!" Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

Sometimes a good state is passive, and sometimes it is active. Zhang Yuan has played his best state in many games. He is simply an unstoppable existence. No one can prevent him. Arsenal, he once staged a Jedi counterattack and led Liverpool to score four goals in a row. At that time, he was stimulated by Arsenal.

If Agnelli can't come up with any good moves to limit Zhang Yuan in this game, Zhang Yuan's confidence will increase as the game progresses, and it will be even more unfavorable.

Ranieri stood on the sidelines watching the game, his mind was always searching for ways to defend Zhang Yuan and Liverpool. He found that Zhang Yuan retreated more actively than in the first half, actively wanting the ball, and his own ball The team did not do enough to prevent Zhang Yuan from connecting with the midfielder, so Ranieri soon asked the players to adopt a more defensive strategy against Zhang Yuan, trying to cut off Zhang Yuan's chance to get the ball.

Sometimes on the court, ideas and strategies may be good, but they rely on the players themselves. If the players on the court do not cooperate well, then a good tactical strategy is equal to a failed strategy.

Ranieri's idea is beautiful, but the reality is really cruel. In the next period of time, Liverpool players found it difficult to pass the ball to Zhang Yuan. He is unwilling to give the chance to get the ball from a distance, and there are always people around him.

Leicester also committed more fouls on Zhang Yuan. Fuchs no longer cared whether it was reasonable or unreasonable. He, Drinkwater, and Albrighton always aimed to prevent Zhang Yuan from holding the ball. When Zhang Yuan takes the ball, they think everything is a threat, even if he takes the ball near the half court!
Zhang Yuan is low-key again, his mind is also thinking about strategies, but in his heart he still has a lot of complaints about his teammates. He is not in good form, but his teammates are in worse condition than him. There are many people who dare not take the ball In, for example, Ali did not behave like a newborn calf in terms of courage today, he did not dare to surpass others, and he did not dare to pass some penetrating passes. Zhang Yuan was also quite puzzled. Everyone brings so much pressure? !

Taking advantage of a dead ball, he grabbed Ali and said to him, your pass intention is too obvious, it is easy to be seen through, I need some penetrating passes!Don't worry about the pass being interrupted, what we should worry about is not being able to score the goal!
