After a fifteen-minute rest, the two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
Leicester City replaced a midfielder, strengthened their attack, and tried to rush for a while at the beginning of the second half to see if they could perform a miracle.
But facts have proven that the gap in hard power is difficult to make up. In addition, Liverpool was full of fighting spirit in this game and did not underestimate the enemy. Therefore, Leicester City's offense has not achieved much results.
The most threatening attack was striker Vardy's volley in the penalty area. However, goalkeeper Mignolet had already predicted the direction of his shot, shifted his position in advance, and then flew sideways to successfully save the ball. Bottom line.
As Leicester City's top scorer and an inspirational idol for amateur players around the world, Vardy's personal performance is good. However, the Blue Fox's overall strength is too poor to achieve any offensive achievements at Anfield.
On the contrary, Liverpool, after taking a three-goal lead, did not let go of the Blue Fox and continued to attack and pursue goals.
Facing the Blue Foxes who took away their championship last season, the Red Army soldiers were high-spirited and played with great vigor.
In the 60th minute of the second half, Liverpool scored again.
The scorer this time was Firmino. He received a ground ball from Lallana in the penalty area, got ahead of center back Morgan, and successfully shoveled the ball into the goal with a flying kick.
Liverpool led 4-0, completely killing the suspense of the game.
However, everyone is not satisfied with this, because everyone has not yet achieved the achievement of helping Velard score another goal and completing the 100-goal milestone in his career at home.
Anyway, we already have a four-goal lead, so just take your time and help Willard score.
Leicester City also knew what Willard was going to do from the fans' signs in the stands, so they guarded him tightly, making it difficult to score goals in open battles.
But Willard can do more than just score goals in open games.
His scoring efficiency is equally high from set pieces.
Finally, when the time came to the 78th minute, Firmino took the ball and broke through and tried to rush into the penalty area when he was tripped by Leicester City midfielder Amartey, winning a free kick for Liverpool with a good position and distance. Chance.
At this opportunity, it is up to Velarde to take the penalty. If he can make the penalty, Velarde will reach the 100-goal milestone.
The ball was on the right side of the top of the penalty area, about 25 meters away from the goal, and the distance was quite good.
After the referee signaled that free throws were allowed, Willard took three steps and then kicked the ball out.
The ball rose into the air, flew over the head of Mahrez in the wall, drew a wonderful arc in the air, and then flew into the goal against the right post.
Although goalkeeper Schmeichel made a save, he was unable to reach the goal and could only watch the ball fly into the goal.
As the goal was scored, the announcer at Anfield Stadium excitedly reported:
"The ball is in!"
"In the 78th minute, Willard scored!"
"Liverpool leads 5-0."
"Willard completed the achievement of his 100th official game goal in his career!"
"Let us cheer together, the goal scorer is: Allen..."
The Red Army fans, who had cooperated countless times, responded uniformly and loudly: "Villade!!!"
Announcer: "The goal was scored by Alan..."
Fans: "Villad!!!"
"Alan..."
"Willard!!!"
"Alan..."
"Willard!!!"
More than 50,000 people in the audience chanted one person's name, which was indeed shocking. Velarde was also very excited. After hugging and celebrating with his teammates, he repeatedly bowed his hands to the stands and thanked him, which attracted an even more enthusiastic response from the fans.
Not counting the U23 goals in the Olympics, Velarde spent a total of 124 games scoring these 100 career goals for the adult team, with an average goal efficiency of 0.8 goals per game.
This is amazingly efficient for a player who is not a forward. The key is that since Willard moved to Liverpool and started playing as a free agent, Willard's average goal efficiency has exceeded 1 goal per game, whether in the club or the national team.
This means that as long as Velard is given enough time, it is possible for his career average goal rate to exceed 1 goal per game.
Even Melo is far from reaching the level of one goal per game in his career. Velarde may become the first person in football history.
After helping Willard achieve his 100th career goal milestone, Liverpool's players slowed down their offense.
The score of 5-0 has already made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, the next game is the first round of the Champions League group stage. Liverpool will challenge the powerful Serie A hegemon Juventus away from home, so it is better to save some energy now.
Klopp naturally had to think about the next Champions League game, so after Velarde scored to complete the 100-goal milestone and expanded the score to 5-0, he also made substitutions one after another, and replaced three people in a row. , allowing the three main players to rest and prepare for the next Champions League game.
Falling behind by five goals allowed Willard to complete the 100-goal milestone, and Leicester City lost all fighting spirit. They did not try to struggle in the rest of the game, but defended honestly and held the score until the end of the game. .
The 3 minutes of stoppage time were not finished. Seeing that neither side was interested in playing, the referee also followed the trend and blew the whistle to end the game. Liverpool beat the defending champion Leicester City 5-0 at home and won. Victory in the 4th round of the league.
After 4 rounds, Manchester City, which has maintained a complete victory, ranked first in the standings. Chelsea and Everton both ranked second and third with three wins and one draw with 10 points. Liverpool ranked fourth with three wins and one loss with 9 points. Manchester United ranked the same. 9 points, ranking fifth due to a lower goal difference than Liverpool.
Liverpool relied on their 5-0 victory over Leicester City to gain a large goal difference and surpass Manchester United in the rankings with the same points.
However, the league is a long-term, long-term competition. The ranking at the beginning of the season does not mean the final ranking. In the end, it still depends on everyone's ability to persist for a long time throughout the season.
Next, it’s time to enter the midweek European competition, and Liverpool’s Champions League journey this season has officially begun.
Willard will finally make his debut on Europe's highest competitive stage.
As a Chinese, Willard believes that the Champions League brings together the best players and clubs in the world. Champions League games, especially the knockout stages, are more valuable than the World Cup.
It’s just that the World Cup is held every four years, and countries from all over the world can participate, and it also shows national honor, so it seems more lively. But in fact, in terms of technical and tactical content, the gold content of the Champions League matches is No. 1 in football in Willard's heart.
Now, he is finally going to step into the Champions League and compete with the top stars from all over the world on this stage that represents the highest level of football on earth.
The Champions League has even become one of the most important indicators of whether a team deserves to be called a giant.
For example, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, etc., no matter how much money you spend, no matter how luxurious your lineup is, no matter how good your record is in the domestic league, if you have never won the Champions League, Then it can only be called a strong team or an upstart, but it will not become a recognized giant.
Especially Arsenal, under the leadership of Wenger, plays a pleasing and smooth technical football, attracting many fans and fans around the world, and is regarded as a wealthy club by everyone. However, in the eyes of non-Arsenal fans, your Gunners don’t even have a Champions League title, do they still deserve to be called a giant?
It doesn't mean a team can be called a wealthy team if it has many fans. So, if the Chinese team has more fans, can it also be called a wealthy team?
Therefore, in the eyes of many neutral fans, Arsenal is at best a quasi-rich club, not a real giant.
The difference is the Champions League.
I really have the Champions League in my hand, and I have the world.
And Velarde wants to win the Champions League. Although Liverpool does not lack the Champions League, he lacks it.
On September 13, Liverpool flew to Italy to begin preparations for the Champions League group stage against Juventus.
The next day, September 14, at 20:45 in the evening, with the whistle of referee Aitkin, the first round of Group H of the 2016/2017 UEFA Champions League match between Juventus and Liverpool was held at Juventus The flowering of thorns has officially begun.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good for this game and it was raining heavily. However, the game was not canceled and everyone could only compete in the heavy rain. Even so, there were still tens of thousands of Juventus home fans in the stands of the Juventus Arena, cheering for the old woman.
There was even no shortage of away fans from Liverpool. More than a thousand Liverpool away fans also braved the heavy rain to cheer for the Red Army, so that Velarde, Firmino and others would not have to fight alone in the away game.
The scene of fans cheering for the team in the rain made Villard and others on the court full of fighting spirit.
After the game started, Juventus deployed a three-center-back formation of 352. The goalkeeper was Buffon. Chiellini, Bonucci, and Barzagli formed a three-center back to guard the penalty area. Evra, Asamoah, and Le Mina, Khedira, and Alves formed a five-person midfield defense, ready to compete with Liverpool in the midfield. The double forward composed of Higuain and Dybala is the guarantee of their offense.
There is no doubt that when playing at home, Juventus must ensure not to concede a goal on the one hand, and on the other hand, ensure a win and strive for a good start in the Champions League in the new season.
As for Liverpool, of course they still play a 433 high-pressing formation. Except that the left back is now replaced by Milner, who is more offensive, the other candidates have not changed much.
Willard sits in the midfield, can attack or retreat, and can run freely throughout the field. The three forwards of Coutinho, Firmino and Mane are three sharp knives that penetrate the Juventus penalty area. Whether they shoot their own shots or cover for Alan Willard who inserts in the back row, their strength They are all very strong. In the Premier League just past, they defeated the defending champion Leicester City 5-0.
Not only in Group H, but also in all the Champions League group matches this round, the game between Juventus and Liverpool is an attractive and super-powerful dialogue. Not only fans of Juventus and Liverpool, but many neutral fans in England, Italy, and even fans from other countries are watching the live broadcast of this game.
Who can defeat the opponent in the heavy rain is highly anticipated.
