    Although Liverpool was almost tied with Aston Villa in the first round, which gave Ham United a certain amount of encouragement, their 44-game winless history at Anfield put West Ham at a psychological disadvantage and facing the state.  Liverpool is not the best, and its main shooter is experiencing a relationship crisis. West Ham United head coach Corbishley still cautiously chose a more conservative 541 formation.  West Ham¡¯s lineup is as follows: goalkeeper 1-Green; five defenders: 5-Anton.  Ferdinand, 4-Gabiton, 3-McCartney, 2-Neal, 6-Upson; four midfielders: 8-Parker, 17-Mullins, 16-Nobre, 29-Bowyer, 7  -Ljungberg; 10-Bellamy, lone forward: 9-Ashton.  This formation is said to be a 541 formation. In fact, Bellamy in this formation moves between the forward and the midfielder. This formation can actually be turned into a 532 formation at any time, but no matter how it changes, West Ham United  This lineup is conservative.  In this regard, the commentator of Sky Sports believes that West Ham United's attitude is very pragmatic. Facing an opponent that has not won away from home in nearly 40 years, Corbishley's choice of more respect and fear is actually more conducive to their creation.  history.  Although affected by Manchester United's draw with Portsmouth before the game, Liverpool's coach and most of the players were a little bit sad. Therefore, facing the defeated players, Liverpool's lineup was not so radical. It was originally a 4-3-3 formation commonly used against underdogs.  There is no lineup today, it is still the traditional lineup of 442. Compared with the previous game, Benitez only changed two people in the midfield.  Arbeloa took a rest, Argentinian midfielder Mascherano started, Pennant came on as a substitute, and Benayoun started.  Although the formation is not a pure offensive football formation, Liverpool's wealthy mentality is still very obvious. The formation was very high at the beginning of the game, completely suppressing the away game West Ham United in terms of momentum.  After the game started, Chen Yu was not active. Although he was a forward, Chen Yu did not always stay in the forward position. He had a wide range of activities. He either dropped back to assist the midfielder in controlling the ball or  He stepped aside to help the midfielder break through, but today Chen Yu was mainly active near West Ham United's penalty area, just like a standard center waiting for his teammates to create opportunities for him.  Liverpool players all know that Chen Yu is in a bad mood and his condition in training is average. It is unrealistic to expect Chen Yu to solve the game by himself like before. They are all running actively.  , broke through and created opportunities for Chen Yu and Kuyt to score goals.  West Ham United is known as the nerve agent. In the first round, they lost to Manchester City cleanly 0:2 at home. They showed no fighting spirit or resistance at all. However, after the start of this game, they performed very eye-catchingly and defended very well.  steady.  Although Liverpool's forward Chen Yu was not active enough at the start and his performance was average, Liverpool's offense was not bad. The attacking combination of Gerrard, Alonso, Benayoun, Pennant, and Kuyt was enough to compete with the world.  Most of the giants, not to mention Chen Yu, even if he is not in good condition, no team dares not to mark him.  Last season, Chen Yu was injured for almost half a year before he played. At the beginning, Chen Yu's condition and strength were only more than half of normal. Many teams didn't take Chen Yu seriously and thought he was just playing.  I was looking for a feeling and playing soy sauce, but I didn't expect that Chen Yu would score goals every time after coming on as a substitute. When everyone felt bad later, Chen Yu had already found the feeling of scoring goals and his condition was restored.  Facing such a monster forward, as long as Corbishley is not crazy or stupid, he must not treat Chen Yu as nothing. He will definitely send someone to defend him.  The reason why the match against Aston Villa in the first round was so difficult was because they did not start well and allowed Aston Villa to defend the first half. Therefore, in this match against West Ham United, Beni  Tes emphasized the need to score goals as early as possible and never give the opponent defensive confidence, and made scoring a goal in the first half a tactical goal.  However, West Ham United's defensive performance was unexpectedly tough and steady for Liverpool. Liverpool attacked for five or six minutes at the beginning, but they didn't even get a chance to shoot. Instead, West Ham United scored in the first half.  At six minutes, he took the lead in completing the first shot of the game for both teams.  The shooter was former Arsenal midfielder Ljungberg.  Ljungberg is even more familiar with Liverpool than Bellamy, who once played for Liverpool, because the top four are all mortal enemies. Whether in the league or the cup, everyone is a favorite and there are many opportunities to meet.  They studied each other almost to the bone.  Bellamy used his speed to force a breakthrough from the wing. Although the ball was destroyed by Mascherano's flying shovel, the ball flew to the feet of Ljungberg who was advancing in the middle. Ljungberg took the ball and passed Alonso.  , took two steps forward and kicked off directly, and the ball went straight to the left side of the goal.    This shot was powerful, but it was not sudden enough and the angle was not very tricky. It did not pose much of a threat to Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, who flew forward and pounced on the ball.  Although Ljungberg's shooting threat was not great, it was a major blow to Liverpool's face. Facing an opponent they had won for forty years and playing at home, they were unable to find a chance to shoot in the first five minutes and were blocked.  It must be a very uncomfortable feeling when your opponent shoots first.  It can be seen from the applause in the stands that when Reina confiscated the ball, it was not the fans of Liverpool who applauded, but the fans of West Ham United.  ??Obviously, the fans of West Ham United will definitely not applaud Reina at this time. They applaud their own player Ljungberg.  Head coach Benitez didn¡¯t say anything on the sidelines, but the Liverpool players couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Driven by their pride, the Liverpool players immediately strengthened their offensive a few points.  Usually at the beginning of the game, Liverpool's full-back Finnan rarely attacks, and the assists are made by Liverpool's left-back Riise. However, today Finnan seemed to be aroused. He also boldly assisted and formed a formation with Riise.  A situation where both wings fly together.  Once Liverpool's two full-backs come up with assists, Liverpool will invest about seven or eight people in the offense. Except for Benayoun, the others cooperate very well. Once they exert their strength, even Chelsea and Manchester United will  Rich families should also avoid the sharp edges.  Seeing this, the Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands applauded, thinking that this wave of offense should have a certain effect.  However, West Ham United seemed to have prepared for the worst. Faced with Liverpool's suddenly strengthened offensive, they did not panic and continued to recycle their formation and compress the space to block Liverpool's attack.  Liverpool attacked for another three minutes, but still couldn't find any loopholes in West Ham United's defense. Under West Ham United's strong and smart defense, Liverpool still couldn't find a chance to kick. Seeing that it was just behind West Ham United's goal  Three minutes had passed since the shot was taken, and Liverpool, which was unable to attack, immediately responded to Ljungberg's shot with a long shot.  In the tenth minute of the game, Riise broke through from the left, but West Ham United had five defenders. After Riise broke through from the wing, he did not completely dodge the defender. It is not easy to pass the ball in the middle. Riise  Simply pass the ball back to the midfielder, let your midfielder continue to distribute, and then look for opportunities to shoot.  The ball was passed to Gerrard, who immediately dribbled the ball into both sides of the penalty area. After attracting the defense, Gerrard passed the ball lightly and set up a fort for Alonso behind him.  Alonso and Gerrard have been working together for many years. They can know each other's movements with their eyes closed and their intentions with their ears covered. Alonso can tell by looking at Gerrard's consciousness that he is helping him create shooting opportunities.  If Chen Yu is the engine of Liverpool, then Alonso is the brain of Liverpool. He knows what Liverpool needs most at this time. What is it?  That must be a shot. Although the fort set up by Gerrard does not pose much of a threat to West Ham United's goal, the distance is still a bit far, but now the competition is not the goal, but the morale and courage of the husband. Once  If morale is low, then nothing can be done to save it.  After Alonso understood the current situation, he followed up very decisively and fired a powerful volley.  Alonso¡¯s shot was very violent. He had scored a goal from 60 meters before. Liverpool fans were full of expectations for his shot and started to applaud when he saw him take off.  Alonso's shot was very powerful, but like Ljungberg's shot, it was too far away from the goal and not sudden enough. West Ham United goalkeeper Green did not hesitate to fly and press the ball under him, preparing to act like  Reina just confiscated the ball, which demoralized the opponent.  Green thought well, but Alonso's long-range shot is not comparable to Ljungberg's. Alonso actually added a small outer instep when shooting. Although the ball cannot be seen when it is flying, it is not visible when the ball is flying.  Green felt it when he made the save. The ball was spinning around in his hands like a catfish and actually slipped out from under him.  It was supposed to slide out, but after all, the ball was hugged and pressed by Green, and it couldn't be any slower. As long as Green turned over again, he caught the ball, but out of the corner of his eye, Green suddenly spotted a red figure.  He ran to his side like lightning.  The red jersey could only be a Liverpool player. Although he couldn't see who it was, West Ham United goalkeeper Green was instantly frightened into a cold sweat. He almost desperately turned over backwards and protected the ball with both arms.  At this moment, the foot of the Liverpool player who ran over was also tackled.  Green¡¯s movements are still very standardized, with both armsHe held the ball in the middle, and his tackle foot just hit his arm, without touching the ball.  Neither the fans of Liverpool nor the fans of West Ham United thought about how much of a threat this ball would be. They also knew that this was a retaliatory shot and a battle of spirits. But no one thought that after Green's save, it turned out to be dangerous.  , at first Green did not hold the ball, and then someone almost shot the ball into the net.  Everyone in the stands exclaimed, and the Liverpool fans were shouting that familiar name, "Chen! It's Chen!" After Chen Yu shot, the slow motion was shown, and only then did the fans see the whole process.  , It turned out that Chen Yu had already run towards goalkeeper Green when Alonso shot, and this strong sense of follow-up shot almost caused the goal.  Although there was no goal, Alonso's long-range shot and Chen Yu's follow-up shot were both dangerous. The face of the Liverpool fans was saved, and the morale of the Liverpool players also improved because they found that even a Chen Yu who was in average condition could  Yu will also help them. At this moment, they suddenly remembered that Chen Yu, who had just come back last season, did not run much and could not break through. However, with his elusive movement and keen sense of smell, Chen Yu scored.  Lots of balls.  The game continued to start. After being frightened, West Ham United played more conservatively. Except for forward Ashton, other players shrank to their own half and set up an iron barrel formation waiting for Liverpool to attack.  Although this is a bit rogue, the iron barrel formation is a subject that wealthy players must study. They have to deal with the opponent's iron barrel formation for at least one-third of a season. Facing West Ham United's iron barrel formation, Liverpool's players also have to deal with it.  They are not angry or anxious, but are patiently looking for opportunities. They know that although the iron barrel formation is difficult to break, once a goal is scored, the opponent will basically collapse, and it will be very easy to play later.  In the 13th minute of the game, Riise made a pass from the left. Chen Yu ran forward and nodded the ball. The ball reached Kuyt. This was an excellent opportunity. Kuyt was already in front of the goal.  At 7 meters, the goalkeeper was attracted by Chen Yu.  However, Kuyt was interfered with by Anton Ferdinand when he headed the ball, and his header went wide.  In the 18th minute, Kuyt came to the right sideline and made a pass. Chen Yu suddenly came out of the middle and rushed in front of Anton Ferdinand. He shot sideways with his right foot 11 meters away from the goal, but the ball hit goalkeeper Green.  On the legs, West Ham United escaped another disaster.  In the 20th minute, Liverpool made a comeback. Alonso's 27-meter long shot from Mascherano's cross was blocked by Upson, who was making his 200th league appearance.  Liverpool's attack became more and more fierce, and West Ham United's defense was also very tenacious. In the face of Liverpool's tidal attack, they fought one after another, using crowd tactics and desperate blocking tactics to block Liverpool's offensive.  After several consecutive shots, the Liverpool players became more and more excited. Many people had forgotten the lessons learned from Manchester United's draw with Portsmouth before the game. They felt that West Ham United was already a lamb to be slaughtered. As long as they  Apply a little more pressure and the underdogs will crumble again, repeating their previous 44-year-old tragic ending at Anfield.  At this time, even Liverpool¡¯s on-site commentator believed that Liverpool¡¯s goal was only a matter of time. As long as Liverpool could maintain this offense, West Ham would not be able to stop it.  At this time, I didn¡¯t think of the nickname of West Ham Ax Gang and Hammer Gang, and I also forgot that this is a nerve knife, and I also ignored the revenge of this team that has lost at Anfield for decades.
