Football: The strongest post-zero generation

Liverpool's current captain Jordan Henderson once said of Sturridge: "I know people think highly of Sturridge's last-gasp strike, but he doesn't just score. "

Sturridge's breakthrough ability in Liverpool can be said to be absolutely not inferior to any main force, but frequent injuries have ruined his career, but this kind of short-term confrontation seems too easy for Sturridge.

In the face of Alexander-Arnold's defense, Sturridge can be said to be familiar with the road, using feints and speed, eating his teammate raw, and then taking a few steps directly forward, then passing the ball to the middle.

At this time, Van Dijk in the middle has been attracted by Sturridge, and when the ball is passed to the middle, in front of Li Qing, who received the ball, there is only Lovren alone.

The Croatian defender was a little nervous in front of Li Qing, and was stunned by Li Qing's feints during the high-speed advancement, and Robertson saw this and had to run with Li Qing's pace.

Seeing this situation, Klopp's brows on the sidelines furrowed, and when he saw a figure on the bench step forward from the right side, his heart suddenly jumped.

When Origi accelerated to run, Li Qing had already passed the ball, and when Robertson realized the space behind him, Origi had already got the ball and began to break into the penalty area.

In front of the goal of the main team, the forwards of the substitute team have all rushed into the penalty area, and the defenders of the main team are panicked in an instant.

The running of Li Qing and Sturridge made the main team's backline look very passive, and Origi suddenly shot a cold arrow at this time, Alisson was just blocked from view, and the ball went into the net.

The main players on the field were stunned, and the substitutes were stunned for a moment, and then cheered and hugged each other.

Klopp's brows furrowed even more tightly on the sidelines, Liverpool's defensive formation and position were no problem with the goal just conceded, but the substitute actually scored, and it was not the only main player Li Qing who scored the goal.

Henderson looked ahead in disbelief, Milner was also a little incredulous, the substitute's attack looked ordinary, Sturridge broke through the ball, Li Qing received the ball and went straight through, Origi received the ball and burst into the box to shoot.

These are the most common fast-attacking methods in Liverpool's daily training, but the problem is not here, looking at the embarrassed assistant coach on the sidelines, Milner patted Henderson on the shoulder.

"Let's kick off, chase the score back, it seems that we are careless, the strength of these substitutes is not weaker than ours!"

Henderson nodded, and the confrontation resumed, with Milner receiving the ball from Sadio Mane and Curtis immediately in front of him.

'This little guy can really run today!' Milner didn't know how to turn the ball back, and he had noticed that Curtis was running all the time during the game.

But he didn't run without purpose, echoing Fabinho, both of whom covered a very large area in the midfield, and if the main squad wanted to move forward quickly, the midfielder had to get past them first.

And both Wijnaldum and Hendermilner are not good at handling key passes, and it is also because the forwards do not have high points, so they do not have many options in the passing process.

Mane in the front field is less than 1.8 meters, Shaqiri is not even 1.7 meters, only Firmino is average, but the lack of high points on the field, the opponent is dense defense, Liverpool's fast attack is difficult to play, even if it is difficult to do long passes.

Therefore, Mane, Firmino and Shaqiri all frequently retreated to get the ball, and in this way, Liverpool's attacking line was much less of a threat to the substitutes, but followed the midfielders and fell into hand-to-hand combat with the opponent's midfielder.

Klopp has seen the crux of the main team on the sidelines, the weak ability to play the ball in the midfield, and the excessive retreat of the players on the front line, resulting in the main team not being able to attack at all on the field.

And even if the forward line retreats to get the ball, the main team has frequently made some mistakes that people can't help but hide, Klopp knows that if the main players on the field don't think of a solution, the second goal will be conceded, it will be a matter of time.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought popped up Klopp's mind, Curtis cut off the ball from Milner's feet and passed diagonally to Li Qing, who was already running on the wing.

Li Qing immediately started running and handed the ball to Sturridge when Henderson stepped in to intercept him.

Sturridge didn't stop for a moment after receiving the ball, and passed directly horizontally, Li Qing received the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and passed it back to Sturridge, and at this time Sturridge had already used his speed to shake off Arnold, and also received the ball.

Lovren rushed forward in a panic, facing his team's main central defender, Sturridge threw off Lovren, who was about to get stuck, with a single arrow step.

And when the Croatian came to his senses and tried to come forward to block, Sturridge had already completed the shot, the ball flew in the opposite direction of Alisson's pounce, and Sturridge deceived the goalkeeper to volley into the goal.

Klopp hid his face and shook his head, he saw this goal clearly, Lovren had just been inattentive again, and this was actually seized by the substitute team.

Lovren couldn't keep up with Sturridge's pace in the box, and his slackening allowed his team to fall behind by more points.

After Li Qing and Sturridge finished celebrating, he looked at the depressed Lovren, and sighed slightly in his heart, this guy didn't expect Sturridge to break through so quickly, and he was distracted for a moment, and was eaten raw by his teammates with speed.

Lovren was obviously a little panicked, whether it was defending Xuanwei or intercepting, there was a problem, and even if he didn't have a problem, Li Qing had just seen Robertson come over to help defend him.

However, there was a large gap on the left side of Robertson's defense, with Lallana and Origi already outflanked, and even if Sturridge couldn't shoot, he had plenty of time to distribute the ball to his team-mates who were already empty for a second attack.

Therefore, the main team's complements between the players this time, the degree of tacit understanding and the defensive system were all exposed at that moment.

If a master makes a move, any flaw will become the key to determining the outcome of the game, but when the main team conceded the second goal, it obviously did not realize its own problems, and blindly thought that it was because of Li Qing who organized an attack on the field that the substitute team had a chance to score.

But then Lallana, Origi and Sturridge completed an attack that left no one in the main team speechless. _
