Football: The strongest post-zero generation

From the start of the game, Liverpool orchestrated a dangerous attack from Trent Alexander-Arnold on the right, but the final shot was deflected wide by himself.

Brighton manager Hughes knows very well that in the face of a powerful Liverpool, blindly defending cannot guarantee the final score, so attacking is the best option.

Brighton's Gross, Borg and Murray are all very fast players, so playing defensive counter-attacks in this game is the only way out.

And Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, obviously not very at ease with his defense, in the first fifteen minutes of the game, Liverpool was basically pressing Brighton, and the hearts of Brighton fans in the stadium stands were nervous for a while.

"Liverpool are the anti-opponents, and they have suppressed Brighton in these fifteen minutes to the point that they can't even pass half time!" Martin Taylor looked a little excited, "It seems that Lee will be as idle as the goalkeeper in the back line today." "

Andy Gray also discussed, "According to this situation, Lee should consider getting more involved in the attack, after all, Liverpool has not been able to score so far, and Brighton's defense is still very solid." "

BBC Lineker also thinks, "Lee should go out, this game doesn't need to be defended at all, against a team like Brighton, just use the attack to destroy them directly, don't you have to worry about defense!"

However, as soon as Lineker's words were finished, Brighton goalkeeper David Barton saved Sadio Mane's shot that had just been spent.

It was Liverpool's fourth shot on goal in the space of 15 minutes, but Brighton were clearly prepared and they defended well in those 15 minutes.

David Barton tossed the ball to Gross, the Brighton goalkeeper threw it hard, and the ball was thrown high and far, and Liverpool's Robertson and Gross went to chase the ball almost at the same time, but it was clear that Gross had too much of an advantage both in terms of starting and distance from the ball.

After Gross grabbed the ball, he poked it straight forward, and his kick seemed to be the same as the goalkeeper just now, using it too much, and the ball rolled out more than ten meters away, but it didn't go out of bounds.

Robertson noticed it and immediately rushed forward to grab the ball, but Gross ran faster than him, catching the ball in a few big steps, and then Robertson suddenly noticed the problem.

In the attack just now, Liverpool's back line pressed too much, and as a result, Van Dijk, both on the flanks and in the middle, pressed the opponent's half.

And just now, Gross's seemingly amateur stabbing the ball directly into Liverpool's half, but now in Liverpool's half, in addition to Li Qing, there is only Brighton's other striker Murray.

The other party wants two to one!

Robertson ran faster and rushed straight towards Gross, not allowing this guy to continue to run forward or pass the ball, otherwise once Li Qing failed to keep an eye on the opposing striker, Murray would face Alisson, which would definitely lead to his own side conceding a goal first!

Brighton fans saw Gross dribbling along the touchline, and Bertson was still struggling to chase after him, and at the current pace of the two, Robertson would certainly not be able to chase after him at least in front of the penalty area.

So the Brighton fans cheered loudly and cheered for Rose, and Brighton striker Murray noticed Gross's movement and immediately cut forward towards Liverpool's half, and Li Qing immediately followed.

Is the duel finally here? Li Qing followed Murray with a smile, and the corner of his eye was paying attention to Gross's running route at the same time.

Van Dijk was already striding back, and at the same time shouted at Li Qing: "Pay attention to protect your back, don't let the opponent cut inside, be careful to shoot from a distance......"

Before Van Dijk finished shouting, Gross, who was already approaching the penalty area, did not choose to cut inside by himself or shoot from a distance, but chose to pass the ball, and the ball passed directly into the penalty area.

As soon as Murray saw his teammates passing the ball, he stepped forward, and in his opinion, as long as he accelerated, got rid of Li Qing, and then caught the ball, and scored a single shot, the next goal was a logical thing.

But Murray's side had just accelerated, Li Qing had already crossed his body in front of him, Murray was blocked by Li Qing, and the speed could not be added, and he didn't even have a chance to jump up and grab the ball.

When the ball flew towards the penalty area, Li Qing directly stretched out his leg and gently blocked the ball to goalkeeper Alisson, who immediately passed the ball to the feet of Arnold who received it on the other side.

Prevented!

Klopp, who was on the sidelines, punched hard, and the heart that had just been lifted was finally put down, and Li Qing's first duel with the Brighton striker ended in defeat for the other party.

Murray looked at Li Qing who was walking slowly forward in disbelief, but he didn't expect the Premier League scorer king in front of him to be so experienced in defense.

Many times, when the masters face each other, you can know the difference between each other in one round.

When Murray was stuck behind Li Qing just now, Murray felt as if there was a wall standing in front of him, and he couldn't even push the other party with both hands.

Was he really just a cameo? Murray had a question in his head that even he couldn't answer.

The game continued, and Brighton still adopted this defensive counterattack tactic, but under the guidance of the coach on the sidelines, they increased the number of long passes, and in most cases, they would kick in the direction of Li Qing, but ......

Murray stumbled under his feet, almost didn't stand firm and fell, he just fought with Li Qing, completely lost to the other party, the ball was pushed back by Li Qing, the two people with similar height and weight, in the duel of high-altitude balls, Murray did not take advantage of it at all.

Brighton's midfielders made a great effort to snatch the ball from Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson, and then the ball was passed forward again.

Murray ran towards the ball, and Li Qing also ran over, but Li Qing did not stare at the ball and chase it, but stuck the position to prevent Murray from suddenly accelerating and taking the ball to break through the goal.

Mu Lie got the ball, his teammates hadn't caught up yet, and Li Qing also stood up, and the two faced off again.

The Brighton fans at the American Express Community Stadium cheered loudly for Murray, but unfortunately, the fans' cheering didn't seem to help Murray, and Murray tried to shake Li Qing away with several feints in a row, but Li Qing was unmoved.

On the contrary, when Murray made an exaggerated shake, Li Qing quickly kicked out, directly stabbed the ball at his feet, and then stuck in front of Murray to hold the ball and pass the ball to Fabinho, who came to answer.

Throughout the first half, Liverpool had chances, but failed to score, and on Brighton's side, although the speed was played, the last blow, especially on Murray's side, was completely frozen by Li Qing.

As a result, the two teams went into halftime with a tie score. _
