Chapter 849 It's Not over Yet!

Simple?

Yes, it is really easy!

If the people sitting in the stands were just ordinary fans, they would definitely worry about Liverpool's defense.

Because they couldn't imagine why it was so simple to be torn apart by Southampton and scored a goal.

However, in the eyes of Wang Lei and Gao Ren, this is not easy at all.

Not to mention just now that Hazard was able to pass the ball under the double-teaming of two players. With this ability, looking at today's football, how many people can do it?

And looking at his appearance just now, he did this on purpose, the purpose is to pull Liverpool's defensive players to the left, attract them to his side, and then pass them to Di Maria.

During the entire transfer process, Di Maria was only a transition, but he also played a vital role.

That was the ball he gave Fabregas, it was good, it was comfortable.

This allowed Fabregas to catch up from behind, and he was able to pass the diagonal pass like a scalpel.

This is a very common pass!

As a midfielder, Wang Lei knows in his own mind that if he wants to pass such a kick, it doesn't mean that you can pass it if you see it with your eyes, especially if you pass it so accurately and quickly like Cesc Fabregas .

"Is this the level of top professional players in Europe?" Wang Lei was dumbfounded.

He found that watching it on TV and watching it live are two completely different experiences.

At least, he has been shocked now.

It's not just him, Gao Ren, who always looks at money, is also dumbfounded.

As the saying goes, experts watch the way, and laymen watch the excitement.

Only people like them who have experienced years of professional football training can feel the strength of Southampton.

At the same time, it also made them feel self-doubt involuntarily.

We were really able to talk to so many great top stars,

Playing in the same stadium, in the same team?

Raiola saw the faces and expressions of the two teenagers. Although he was calm, he was still satisfied.

He could tell that Young Master Huan attached great importance to these two young players, and he had seen them himself and obtained their information from the Southampton scout team, and he was also very optimistic about these two young players.

These are two good seedlings!

Master Huan handed them over to him because he thought he could help him cultivate these two seedlings!

Realizing this, Raiola did not dare to be careless.

He carefully arranged this trip to Anfield Stadium, hoping that they could come to the scene to see what the top European professional leagues look like and how high the level of top professional players is.

As a person, what I am most afraid of is that I cannot see myself clearly and cannot accurately position myself.

The same goes for the players!

Even, in Raiola's view, accurately grasping one's own abilities and positioning one's role in the team and in professional football is what a professional player must have.

Today, he just hoped that Wang Lei and Gao Ren could see this clearly and see the gap clearly.

Because only in this way, they will understand how to work hard and how to improve.

If you lose confidence and motivation just because of the gap, then Raiola can only say that they are not suitable to be a professional player at all, and it is a good thing to leave early.

The fans in the stands have different expressions and thoughts, but on the field, the players from both sides are still fighting.

Because Southampton took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the court, making the game more unrestrained.

Liverpool was eager to equalize the score and defend the dignity of Anfield.

Southampton, on the other hand, refused to give an inch and used head-to-head. After the team scored a goal, their morale soared, and they launched a round of fierce confrontation with Liverpool.

Both sides come and go, playing on the court is a joy.

But judging from the situation, Southampton still has the upper hand.

At the very least, Liverpool failed to find an effective way to break into Southampton's penalty area. Most of the shots were from the outside and long-range shots, but such shots are difficult to threaten Neuer's goal.

The pace of both sides is very fast, the ball changes hands frequently, and the game becomes very intense and beautiful.

Raiola asked them to pay more attention to the two teams, especially Southampton's offensive and defensive transitions.

As a midfielder, Wang Lei is keenly aware that Southampton's offensive and defensive transitions are faster, more efficient and more precise than Liverpool's.

And all of this is because of Toni Kroos in the deep midfield position.

He can always find the most effective and accurate offensive line in the shortest time, and deliver the ball to the frontcourt as quickly as possible, and deliver it to the offensive players.

It seems that this time, after Southampton steals the ball in the backcourt, Liverpool counterattacks on the spot in the frontcourt.

After Toni Kroos ran to the open space to catch the ball, he made a long pass directly to the ground, crossed the half court accurately, and fell to the feet of Chilean winger Sanchez.

Sanchez was unguarded, and as soon as he stopped the ball, he turned around, speeded up, and rushed forward!

Liverpool's midfielder couldn't keep up at all. Seeing that Sanchez had already reached the front of the penalty area, Skrtel had to choose to go up, while the Chilean volleyed directly.

As a result, the ball hit Sktel's feet and bounced to the right.

Is that the end?

not yet!

I saw Southampton's right-back Danilo catching up from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, he cut inside to the middle, attracted the defensive players, and crossed to the front of the penalty area.

Di Maria caught up, and after receiving the ball, he made a very light pass.

The ball dangled over the heads of the Liverpool central defenders and fell behind them.

In the penalty area, Suarez was like a loach, passing between the two central defenders, turned around, stopped facing the ball with his chest, turned around, and volleyed directly without waiting for the ball to hit the ground.

With this shot so close at hand, Liverpool's goalkeeper was powerless!

Two to zero!

After scoring two goals in a row, Liverpool was somewhat frustrated, while Southampton's morale skyrocketed. With all their strength, they almost overwhelmed Liverpool and completely dominated the game.

And in the 44th minute, after a two-for-one cooperation between Di Maria and Toni Kroos in the midfield, he passed to Hazard on the left. The latter dribbled the ball into the penalty area, but was caught The opponent's central defender Lovren knocked to the ground.

The referee undisputedly awarded a penalty, but did not impose an additional penalty on Lovren.

Hazard personally took the penalty kick and hit it, 3 to 0!

This goal silenced the entire Anfield stadium.

I am afraid that everyone present would never have imagined that Liverpool would encounter such a fiasco at their home court.

This is the first half!

But soon, the tenacious Red Army fans began to sing the team's "You'll Never Walk Alone" song. It was very loud and very uplifting, but it failed to turn the situation around.

"Liverpool and Southampton are no longer on the same level!"

Raiola's tone was cold, as if he was condemning a person to death.

"Liverpool under Benitez was able to perform the miracle in Istanbul because the Red Army still had a system, but now, Rodgers' Liverpool does not have a stable team formation concept or a mature tactical system. Ampton fight?"

Having said that, Raiola is also frowning deeply. He has some doubts. Is it a suitable choice for Balotelli to join Liverpool?

Now he is suspicious!

It's just that Barbara from Milan called him and said that the team wanted to sign in and try for the results of the new season, so they had to sell Balotelli and let Raiola quickly find an interested player. team.

At that time, Liverpool was also eager to ask for help and was able to meet Balotelli's various requirements, so the two sides hit it off.

But now it seems that this is probably not a good choice.

Wang Lei and Gao Ren were a little surprised when they heard this.

If, as Raiola said, Southampton and Liverpool are no longer on the same level, then is Southampton too strong? Or is Liverpool too weak?

It's probably hard to say clearly.

But one thing is for sure.

That is, after taking a three-goal lead in the first half, Southampton still did not relax in the second half.

Liverpool's sky-high defense line, which cost nearly 100 million yuan, completely fell apart in Southampton's fierce offense.

The best embodiment of this is Southampton's fourth goal.

Eden Hazard had the ball on the left, with Glenn Johnson and Joe Allen defending him at the same time.

But what shocked everyone was that Hazard easily brought the ball out from the double-teaming of the two players, and even took advantage of the opportunity to enter the penalty area.

As a result, after the Belgian attracted Lovren's attention in the penalty area, he knocked back from the bottom line. Suarez in the middle followed and pushed through Liverpool's goal again.

However, after Suarez scored the goal, he did not celebrate as before, but walked back to the center line silently.

Perhaps, in his heart, facing his old club and scoring goals again and again, he didn't feel very good.

And after Suarez scored the goal, the singing of never walking alone also weakened.

And it got weaker and weaker, and in the end, there were no one to sing at all.

But the game is clearly not over yet.

In the 79th minute of the second half, it was another attack from Southampton that reached the front of Liverpool's penalty area. Hazard took the ball from the left and cut inside, trying to pass the ball into the penalty area.

Skrtel wanted to clear the ball with his big foot, but he kicked it crookedly and fell to the feet of Fabregas who inserted in the back.

Facing the incoming ball, the Spanish midfielder made another precise through ball like a scalpel, and sent the ball accurately to the unguarded Sanchez on the right side of the penalty area.

The Chilean winger stopped, pushed, and scored again!

Unlike Suarez, Sanchez, who scored twice, was so excited that he rushed out of the court, celebrating his twice.

The entire Anfield stadium was dead silent.

I am afraid that before the game, even the most optimistic fans of Southampton would not have imagined that the Saints could beat Liverpool 5-0 at Anfield.

Rodgers sat in the home team's coaching bench, making it difficult to see his expression at this moment, but it would definitely not be good.

In the first game of the new season, they encountered such a slap in the face. This is definitely a heavy blow to Liverpool, who vowed before the season to keep the top four in the league and strive for the championship.

Whether it's Lovren on the back line or Balotelli on the front line, they obviously failed to change Liverpool's current predicament.

Southampton, on the other hand, used this game to fully demonstrate their European champion momentum.

More importantly, the first appearances of the two new midfielders, Cesc Fabregas and Di Maria, were satisfactory and amazing.

This also makes people look forward to the Saints' new season even more.
