Volume 1: Males Come and Go, People Pay Attention. Chapter 117 Various Discomforts (Third Update, Please Vote for Me)

.The Liverpool team's unsuitability to the new tactics is reflected in all aspects of the game, not just in offense, they also feel awkward in defense - because the team now requires layers of advancement when attacking, there will be more when attacking. players press forward. In this case, they will be slower to return to defense. When the opponent launches a fast attack, the defense line will face a lot of pressure due to the lack of manpower.

Moreover, without Gerrard and Lucas, Liverpool's midfield defense already has problems, often allowing the opponent to face the central defender directly, putting great pressure on Skrtel and Agger.

So it was the home team Queens Park Rangers who scored first.

In the 21st minute, Sean Deli scored the team's opening goal.

After taking the lead, Queens Park Rangers became even more energetic. They frequently launched attacks to threaten Liverpool's goal. Liverpool's offense did not improve at all.

Players still don't adapt to the new tactics, and many times they can't help but want to hit the ball high. When they realize that this is not good, they have no chance to make other moves.

Therefore, Liverpool's offense looks very awkward to outsiders, as if the entire team is out of shape.

And Chen Yingxiong's performance today was also very strange. It has been more than 20 minutes since the game started, and he has not even headed the ball once. Not only has he not made a header shot, he has not even headed the ball for the top. There were times when he jumped, only to shrink his neck at critical moments, causing the football to be bumped by opposing players or fly directly over his head.

If we compare it to previous games, Chen Yingxiong has had at least ten headers at this time. His header is really Liverpool's scoring weapon, and Liverpool will give full play to his header ability.

This shows how frequently Chen Yingxiong headers. No wonder Dr. Bruckner advised him to use less headers...

His header frequency is completely beyond that of normal players, and it is indeed prone to problems in the long run.

However, inertia is powerful. Although Chen Yingxiong has vowed not to use headers to compete for the top scorer, he will still jump up and fight for the top as a conditioned reflex. After he jumped up, he remembered that he couldn't header the ball, so he had to shrink his neck.

His performance confused many people. Not only the players and commentators watching the game, but also his opponents couldn't understand what happened to Chen Yingxiong today.

As the tallest person in this defense, the 1.88-meter-tall central defender Onuoha is responsible for defending Chen Yingxiong in this game.

This task before the game made him feel a lot of pressure. Because now the whole of England knows how troublesome it is to defend Chen Yingxiong. Those top defenders may not be able to guard him, but can I do it myself?

Now defending Chen Yingxiong has become a kind of punishment, because if the team loses and Chen Yingxiong scores again, the player responsible for defending him will definitely be blamed by the media and fans, and will be blamed for the final loss. It almost made him memorize it...

So when the game started, when the football flew towards him and Chen Yingxiong from the air, you can imagine how nervous he was...

But his reaction soon became-"Huh?"

He was surprised, why didn't the giant bear look scary at all today?

There were several headers, and he either won the header directly, or even if he didn't hit it, Chen Yingxiong didn't hit it.

This is not at all like Chen Yingxiong’s level? His heading skills are the best in the Premier League today, and this has been recognized.

Onuoha thought that it was good enough that he could interfere with him, but he didn't expect that he could completely defeat Chen Yingxiong...

"The hero's success rate in header challenges today is...zero percent! Yes, this number surprises us. He has not succeeded in a header challenge in this game..." The commentator said in a surprised tone said.

No one knew why Chen Yingxiong suddenly withered in the air. He shrank his head when fighting for the top. Does this mean anything? Is there something wrong with Chen Yingxiong's own condition, or is Dalglish deliberately arranging this? No one can tell clearly.

And what surprised them even more was that not only did Chen Yingxiong not do things like fighting for headers in the frontcourt, but Chen Yingxiong also deliberately let go of shooting opportunities in the penalty area - Adam Johnson He once gave him a high ball from the wing. If Chen Yingxiong jumped up, it shouldn't be difficult to hit the ball. Although it was hard to say whether it would go in or not...but Chen Yingxiong unexpectedly chose the most difficult method - -He turned around and jumped up, and came up with an upside-down golden hook!

Since the timing and the flight path of the football were completely wrong, Chen Yingxiong made this action extremely clumsily and did not touch the football at all.

After seeing Chen Yingxiong's performance, some imaginative football fans even thought that Chen Yingxiong participated in gambling and bought that his team would lose... Otherwise, how else to explain his strange performance in this game?

※※※

Christian Cabrera, who was watching the live TV broadcast at home in Liverpool, heard the commentator wondering about Chen Yingxiong's performance. They speculated on many possibilities, but no one came to the point - but that's right, most people still There is really no way to connect the header with the concussion...

Cabrera said silently in his mind: "Come on, hero!"

※※※

Liverpool equalized the score in the second half, but it was not Chen Yingxiong who scored. But Skrtel.

Although Chen Yingxiong did not score a goal, he still contributed to this goal. Although Chen Yingxiong can no longer use his header, his header can still play a role in set kicks... That is to allow Chen Yingxiong to attract the attention of the opponent's defensive players and create space for other teammates who come behind. . That's how Skrtel's ball went in.

In fact, this can also be done in sports battles. However, in order to allow the team to adapt to the new tactics as soon as possible, Dalglish imposed the requirement of "no high balls allowed".

Otherwise, if the team gets used to relying on this style of play, who knows when they can get back to their habit?

Dalglish is not worried that after he leaves, the team's tactics will return to the same old routine. Because Niang was there at the time, as a friend of Chen Yingxiong, he definitely didn't want Chen Yingxiong to get a concussion and become dementia due to frequent headers in the qualifying round, right? So they will definitely consider this factor when selecting a coach.

After Skrtel helped Liverpool equalize the score, Liverpool once saw hope.

But today's Queens Park Rangers seemed like they were playing chicken - they didn't have many offensive opportunities, but they were very efficient.

And Liverpool no longer pass high balls, they pass them! Queen's Park Rangers plays a typical traditional British style of play, with long passes and crosses from the wing, and a fight for the top in the middle.

In the 77th minute, they cooperated on the edge of Liverpool's penalty area. Taivo made a pass, and Cisse easily jumped up and headed the goal with almost no one defending in the middle. Because the distance was too close, Reina barely reacted, and the football flew from his side into the goal.

"Hell!" Dalglish was very dissatisfied with the team's defense off the court. He only modified the team's offensive tactics. He didn't move in defense. Moreover, two consecutive goals he conceded were scored by the opponent with headers. He was very dissatisfied with the team's center back's air defense.

Chen Yingxiong performed poorly, but Suarez was very eye-catching. His dribbling and speed caused some trouble for the Queens Park Rangers in the second half of the second half.

And in the 86th minute, he broke into the penalty area to shoot after a series of dazzling dribbles at the front of the penalty area. After the football was caught by the goalpost, it fell to the feet of Charlie Adam. Adam directly took a long shot and the football was blocked. Queens Park Rangers pounced on goalkeeper Kenny and popped up.

Kuyt, who had been lurking in the penalty area, followed up the tackle and added the ball in.

The score became a 2:2 tie.

Dalglish breathed a sigh of relief.

The team played like this in this game, and a draw was considered a good result.

But this game is destined not to belong to Liverpool, who performed poorly.

Queens Park Rangers overtook the score in the 90th minute. This time, Agger made a mistake in the backcourt and did not kick the ball, allowing the opponent's pass to slip under his crotch. Jamie came on as a substitute in the second half. .McGee a one-way ball.

This time Reina still didn't make a save, and the ball rolled past him into the far corner of the goal. Reina was helpless about the performance of the team's defense. Such a ball... was really difficult for him to handle.

The score was finally settled at 3:2, and Queens Park Rangers, playing at home, defeated Liverpool.

Chen Yingxiong had almost no highlights in this game, and his rating after the game was also the lowest in the team.

The reporters had many questions to ask him, but they failed to catch Chen Yingxiong in the mixed zone. Chen Yingxiong directly ignored the reporters' request for an interview and hurriedly walked back to the locker room. The reporters could only look at his face. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. This is the only place where they can make a big fuss after the game.

Since you can’t ask Chen Yingxiong, then just ask Dalgliesh!

Reporters flocked to the post-match press conference.

Dalglish refused to answer the question. He still took the responsibility for the loss on himself: "It was my lack of preparation. I didn't expect Queens Park Rangers to be so strong at their home court... They deserved this victory. We were a little bit in the last few minutes." We were distracted, we could have gotten a draw... It's a pity, this is football. Until the last second, you never know what the result will be... Hero? He is very good, very good. There is no problem at all, But players' status always has ups and downs, and you can't ask a person to perform outstandingly throughout the season..."

As a result, reporters still didn't know what happened to Chen Yingxiong.

I believe that after this game, this question will become the focus of speculation and discussion...! .
