Chapter Eighty-Six: The Wailing of Liverpool in the Christmas Schedule (Part I) A New Breakthrough!

"Hey, Ali, have you noticed that Reima seems to have started to play more and more calmly and well in the position of a single midfielder after that goalmouth save." Looking at the old Ray, who was quite calm and strategizing on the field, Lineker said with some surprise. The speed and effect of Lao Lei's adaptation to his new position surprised him, and in his original thought, Lao Lei could not do it in this game. But to his surprise, Lao Lei not only did it, but also did it well.

"Really? It's too early to say this, maybe it's just a coincidence, after all, after the onslaught some time ago, they now need a time to rest and adjust. Ali Hansen, who was beside Lineker, said unwillingly. As a football celebrity, he certainly has this eyesight, and it can be seen that Lao Lei is growing rapidly in the new position of single back, and his performance is getting better and better. But as a Liverpool celebrity, how could he support Reima at this time. But that's all he can do.

At this time, on the field, Lao Lei was immersed in the freshness and pleasure brought by his new position. After slowly getting used to this position, Lao Lei, who had spent a period of time in front of him, began to feel the advantages of such a style of play. Wider horizons, more freedom and the thrill of being in full control of a team. At this time, Lao Lei had a feeling of returning to the Leiria period, defense and offense, everything about this team was under his arrangement. At this time, except for Cech, the other eight Chelsea players have become pawns in his heart, and they are at his disposal.

It's a feeling he hasn't felt at Chelsea. Although he is undoubtedly the absolute core of this team, his control of this team has not reached the absolute level of Cheng DΓΉ that he has now. The fate of John Terry and Claude Makellele. Although for Chelsea, it could not be worse than bad news. But for Lao Lei, it has never been an excellent opportunity to take him to the next level.

After getting the European Footballer of the Year and the World Footballer, Lao Lei could feel that his strength improvement had been bottlenecked. The hard training can only keep him in good shape, but it is already difficult to improve his strength. This problem has always given Lao Lei a headache and feels very tricky. However, this fierce competition was unexpectedly and accidentally provided Lao Lei with an opportunity to rise again. Now the old Ray. Like a fish in a long drought, it fell into a state of madness and joy.

"At this time, it should be pressed on... Well, it can't be pressed as often as before... Passing, passing the ball constantly, increasing the number of passes and the distance of the draw..."Lao Lei's current head is like a crazy motor, absorbing and thinking about the insights that are constantly absorbed from the field. Meanwhile. He's also fine-tuning his play, positional movement and mental angle. He is like a shriveled piece of sleep, frantically absorbing any water and nutrients. He's growing up in an unbelievably fast-forward way, in a single midfielder position. Calm and calm, the temperament of ease appeared in his place again.

Benitez on the sidelines, Jose Mourinho. Arsene Wenger, Alex Ferguson, and other coaches and football experts were watching the game closely. At this time, I was amazed by the blue number 13. Originally, their general view was that the old Lei was at least 25 years old. Only then can we usher in the growth again. But it turns out that Lao Lei's plasticity, ball quotient and talent are beyond their expectations. Looking at him, some people are pleased, some people are angry, and some people have greed in their eyes.

Even Mourinho, who arranged this tactic, was very emotional about this, and now Lao Lei's state on the field is something he didn't expect before. Maybe he was confident in winning this game, but he didn't expect that Lao Lei could find the key to improving again so early and immediately comprehend and improve. "Stinky boy!! Hehehe! He said secretly in his heart, although he still had a cold face, but the little nervousness and anxiety before was obviously gone. Now even if Chelsea loses this game, Mourinho doesn't care because he sees a brighter future.

And he is opposite Benitez, who is scolding his mother in his heart. He now felt that this was a joke that God had given him, that it had given him hope, but that in turn, it seemed that he was about to hit him head-on. "Press it up! Press it up!! Stephen, press it up! He came to the sidelines, tore his throat again, and screamed. In his heart, Liverpool can only hold on to their hopes of victory by pulling a goal back at this time, with a surge in morale. Otherwise, when Lao Lei completely touches the doorway of the single back, Liverpool will really be dead.

On the pitch, taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity, Gerrard stood up and gasped hard, seizing any opportunity to adjust. Looking at Lao Lei's increasingly radiant look, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart: "Is this still human?" The uneasiness in his heart became more and more solemn, and he could feel that Lao Lei was slowly recovering his previous disadvantage. In the midfield, in front of Lao Lei, their impact began to be pressured and tested, and they could not do as much as they did before.

The tense game didn't give him more time to think, and Josemi's sideline ball was delivered directly to his feet. "Be careful, Steve!" The screams of teammate Alonso made Gerrard's heart tighten, but before he could react, a foot jumped out between his feet and stabbed away the football he had just stopped with his chest. Then a huge force came from behind him, knocking his entire body to a stagger, leaving him with only a wild and unruly blue figure of 13.

It was a very clean break that made Webb, who had extremely strict standards for enforcement in the second half, unable to find any flaws. At this time, unlike in the past, Lao Lei did not immediately take the ball forward to attack, but slowed down and used his teammates to control the football at his feet. This series of ball handling processes is the focus of Lao Lei's single-back style of play that he has just comprehended. Be cautious with forward assists, focusing on timing and quality. When defending, you must press decisively, interrupt the opponent's midfield cooperation from the root, and not simply retreat to defend. In terms of offense, more use of passing to control the rhythm, more use of passing organization to drive the team's offense, reduce the number of individual breakthroughs, and personal dribbling forward breakthrough should be a miracle move, a killer weapon, rather than a common weapon.

Of course, this is also simple. To do this, it is already difficult for the vast majority of players to reach the sky, because it requires almost all aspects of the midfielder to be at the top level. Among them, it includes a clean and efficient defensive ability, as a single back in addition to efficiency, but also in terms of action control. Because as long as a yellow card is obtained, the pressure on the defensive side of the single midfielder will increase exponentially, and it may even become a hole in the defense and the focus of attack in the eyes of the opponent. Secondly, you need to have excellent ball control and breakthrough ability, and you have to step up and be the one to break the deadlock when the team's attack is deadlocked. In addition, you must have a top-level playmaker, who can lead the team to suppress the opponent for most of the regular game time, and not let the opponent have too many opportunities to impact their defense.

Any player who does one of the above can maintain a strong competitiveness in the main squad of the giants. From this point of view, you can see how difficult it is to do all three things. And this is also the main reason why the single-back tactics have become extinct in football after Redondo, the requirements are too many and too high, and they can be met but not sought. However, these three points are not all requirements, but only part of them. Now on the field, Lao Lei, who is making rapid progress, has only touched some thresholds, and he is still far from mastery. It's just that for Lao Lei, this is precious enough, and in terms of the development of personal ability, Lao Lei has seen a bright road.

As a result, the advantage in Liverpool's hands began to slowly return to Chelsea's hands, and the situation began to change again. Looking at Lao Lei, who is like a fish in water on the field, the Liverpool players are a little helpless, if this is still in the first half, Lao Lei may not be able to play so smoothly in the new position. Now Weber's extremely strict law enforcement standards have almost become Lao Lei's left and right protectors, ensuring that he can play at the same pace and style of play as he wants. After opening the Devil's Muscle Man, Lao Lei ran up and down almost non-stop throughout the midfield, flexible like a free and agile hummingbird, making Liverpool's defensive net against him look clumsy and full of holes.

Of course, Liverpool are not completely at a disadvantage, it should be said that they are on par with Chelsea. Because Lao Lei is not the Redondo of the year after all, he can interpret the offense and defense to the extreme by himself, and he is still in the stage of exploration and growth. Therefore, especially in attack, Liverpool can still get a lot of opportunities with their midfield impact. It's just that compared with the sudden wind and lightning in the previous period, it seems to be relatively unsmooth.

In the 65th minute of the second half, watching the situation change on the field, all the commentators and reporters began to turn their guns again, singing the praises of Lao Lei, Mourinho and Chelsea. Because it seems that Chelsea's winning side has become far greater than Liverpool's. At this point, the lead in the score made Chelsea more relaxed than Liverpool. This is especially important in the context of a stalemate between the two sides, because after all, the game is time-limited, and the team that is behind is always at a disadvantage, and this will not change in any way.

At this time, Liverpool, who had no way out, pressed again and formed an encirclement and suppression of Chelsea's defence. But compared with the previous oppression, there is more helplessness and anxiety. The steadily retracting Chelsea defence reasserted its terrifying nature as a wall, while Old Ray became the huge, heavy gate.

That haughty and cold smile went home, back to the corner of Chelsea's no.13 mouth.

Then another kick plugged Garcia's straight through, directly destroying the touchline.

Looking at the Liverpool player, he muttered in a murderous whisper: "It's time!" ”

"It's a good show!!"

The eyes are full of rage!! (To be continued......)
