Chapter 194 Liverpool's Trident! [Update 3]

Chapter 194 Liverpool's Trident! [Second Update]

Five minutes into the game.

Both sides scored one goal.

This is not a good thing for Watford. Although they are playing at home, the gap in strength between the two sides is objectively existing.

If the game turns into a fierce offensive battle between the two sides.

Although Watford may also score a goal, Watford head coach Marco Silva does not think that his team's offensive power can match Liverpool's trident of Mane, Sunshine and Salah.

"Defend first and stabilize the situation!"

He pulled Watford midfielder Doucoure aside and gave instructions.

Although Watford's initial formation was a 433, their two wingers were actually quite active in defense.

The two wingers retreated.

It's just a 451.

Okaka on the forward line is a very typical black forward: he is fast, likes to dribble, and has a strong ability to draw fouls.

Even if Watford can't score directly through counterattack.

But if the ball can be passed to Okaka's feet and he can create a set piece in the frontcourt, it is also a way of attacking.

"Watford pulled back their formation and set up a fence in the backfield, which was the right thing to do. Otherwise, they would have been stabbed into a sieve by Liverpool's front trident."

Gary Neville said in the commentary booth.

"This Liverpool team lacks a midfielder with real passing imagination. The midfield combination of Emre Can, Henderson and Wijnaldum is tough enough, but lacks some offensive talent."

"Now it's time to test how Liverpool can break through the dense defense." Carragher frowned slightly.

Last season, Liverpool was nicknamed "Robbers from the rich to help the poor".

It means that they can often show excellent fighting ability when facing strong teams.

However, when facing weak teams, the efficiency in scoring is often not enough.

The reason.

It does have something to do with what Neville said: when facing dense defense, Liverpool's approach seemed a bit rough.

Either a long shot or a cross.

What’s even worse is that Liverpool’s defense was not good last season.

In this way, it is not surprising that they often lose points when facing weak teams.

Now, facing Watford's dense defense, Liverpool really needs to use some "conventional weapons" to break through the opponent's defense.

They tried a long shot, but it wasn't very effective as the dense crowd blocked the shot.

at the same time.

Watford also stepped up their aggression, trying to match Liverpool's physical ability.

Ten minutes of play passed.

The percentage has not changed.

After attacking for a while, Liverpool slowed down the tempo of the game slightly.

It seems that they need to slow down a bit and resume their offensive momentum.

Seeing this, Marco Silva on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.

After this period, Watford can find a way to attack again.

Just now.

The football was passed to Yangguang's feet.

Yangguang retreated to the front of the penalty area to get the ball. When he turned around, he was facing the opponent's dense defensive players in front of the goal.

At this time, he can take a long shot, but it will most likely hit the defender.

"Sunshine got the ball."

The commentators all raised their voices.

Sunshine looked at Salah.

Their eyes met.

next moment.

Yangguang raised his foot and passed the ball with the arch of his foot.

The football passed between two defensive players in front of the sun.

at the same time.

He started quickly and moved forward.

Salah ran sideways from the wing and met Yang Guan's pass perfectly.

He didn't stop the ball, but pushed it sideways.

Yang Guang advanced and passed the ball without stopping.

The football was pushed to the left by the outside of his foot.

Mane swam in, poked the ball with his toes in the dense crowd, and passed the ball back to the right.

Salah made a cross from the right side near the baseline.

After passing the ball, Yangguang continued to move forward to the middle. At the moment Salah made a cross pass, he took a big step and blocked the defensive player behind him. At the same time, he slightly turned his body and met Salah's cross pass with his right foot and cushioned it with the arch of his foot.

The football went into the goal.

"Oh! Beautiful! Oh! Liverpool's continuous passing through the middle! Oh! Beautiful!"

Commentator Chloe chanted.

"Yang! Scored twice! In the 17th minute of the game, Liverpool overtook the score. Let's take a look at this goal. Wow! Incredible pass in the middle, the cooperation of Liverpool's three forwards!"

The camera locked onto Liverpool's three forwards as they put their arms around each other's shoulders and ran to the sidelines to celebrate.

"The second goal! Sunshine's second goal in the Premier League this season. Look at the whole process of this goal, a series of continuous passes, and in the end the ball almost went into the goal!"

Zhang Jun was very excited.

He is a Liverpool fan after all. "Watford's dense defense was broken by Liverpool's three Red Arrows! They must press forward and attack at home next. For Liverpool, when there is enough space in the frontcourt, the three Liverpool forwards will definitely make Watford's defense difficult to defend!"

Zhang Jun is right.

The next game will indeed follow this trend.

After scoring twice, Yangguang returned the favor by passing the ball to his two forward partners.

Thirty-three minutes of the game.

Yangguang received a long pass from the backcourt at the edge of the penalty area and headed the ball.

Gave Mane a one-on-one opportunity.

The Senegalese striker faced the goalkeeper alone and calmly shot the ball into the far corner.

3-1, Liverpool scored their third goal away from home.

The second half of the game started.

Salah also scored.

This is a corner kick.

Sunshine headed the ball at the back post and Salah volleyed the ball into the net from the center.

Four to one!

This goal immediately suppressed Watford's counterattack momentum.

The final score of the game was five to one.

The final moments of the game.

Central defender Matip took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt and headed the ball into the goal.

Liverpool won a big victory in the first round of the league in the new season.

After the game.

Sunshine's performance was marveled by the English media.

".Two goals and two assists, this is what Sunshine did in his first Premier League game! After the game, many media gave Sunshine a high score of 9.9!"

". Liverpool's three forwards all scored goals. They beat Watford 5-1 away in the first round. Except for Matip's goal, the other four goals were directly related to Sunshine. Sunshine's joining this season has undoubtedly improved Liverpool's offensive firepower by more than one level!"

".Sunshine, Mane, Salah! Liverpool's front trident is starting to take shape!"

".This may be the most powerful trident combination in the Premier League! The three players have different characteristics, but this can also make Liverpool's offensive routines more diverse and complex!"

". Let's look at Liverpool's second goal against Watford. This goal fully demonstrated the "understanding" of the three players. The thinking between top players is connected. From this offensive cooperation, we can see that the three players can develop enough tacit understanding!"

".Mane is very fast and is a master at attacking from the wing. Salah has delicate skills and can attack, dribble, shoot and pass. And what about Yang? He is the best center forward. As long as the ball is at his feet, whether it is high or low, from a long pass from the backcourt or a cross from the wing, he can convert it into a goal with a high probability."

After the game.

All of England is buzzing about the power of Liverpool's new attacking combination.

Klopp actually intends to make these three people the main offensive combination of Liverpool.

Klopp feels that this offensive combination has great potential.

Once the three of them got familiar with each other, their level of tacit understanding increased.

There is absolutely no defense on this planet that can withstand a three-person offensive team!

"We will have the strongest offensive combination in the world!"

Klopp said to his assistant Lijnders.

For Liverpool now, the core structure has been built.

Only some minor repairs are left.

For example, strengthening the left back and midfield.

But no matter what, the defense line with Van Dijk as the core and the forward group with Sunshine as the core are Liverpool's biggest reliance in the Premier League this season.

new season.

Liverpool's offense basically depends on the trident of Mane, Sunshine and Salah.

Although Sturridge is very strong, he is too fragile.

A player who spends half of a season recovering from injuries cannot be relied upon as a main player.

This season Liverpool also signed local striker Solanke from Chelsea's reserve team for free.

But Solanke is still too young - in fact, Solanke is more than two months older than Sunshine, but generally speaking, no one would compare him with a player like Sunshine.

Solanke is very talented and can play as a center forward or as a winger. This season, Klopp plans to make Solanke an important substitute player on the striker line.

In addition, Liverpool's forward line also has two corners, Danny Ings and Origi. Er, two substitutes.

However, their strength is still far behind the front trident combination.

The reason why Klopp can still maintain confidence is that apart from the three main players, the other forwards are basically "scraps" players.

His confidence comes from the durability of Mane, Salah and Sunshine. Judging from their past records, none of them are prone to injury.

In order to cultivate tacit understanding among the three.

During training, the three of them are in a group.

Even the new signing Salah moved next door to Sunshine, and the two became neighbors.

Sadio Mane is also said to be eyeing a move to Salford.

Whether on or off the court.

The three Liverpool forwards seem to have a pretty good relationship.

After the first round of the league.

With a score of five to one.
