The Ball at Your Feet

The two-ball lead made Middlesbrough know the difficulty of the opponent. By the time of the second half, they began to shrink the defense, and the main counterattack. After being dealt with by Sissoko several times, Tangning also learned to behave at this time, and he also knew that if he wanted to make a breakthrough in the breakthrough, he still had to go around Sissoko. When he got the ball again, he pushed the ball directly to the side, avoiding Sissoko, and then stepped up and chased it.

But at this time, the surrounding arena was also full of exclamations.

Tangning heard the voice, and someone chased after him. He quickly speeded up and ran towards the direction of the ball, but at this time, Zhao Yaning had already rushed from his side. After the two people collided, Tangning was knocked a step away by Zhao Yaning, and Zhao Yaning controlled the ball to his feet.

Tangning's kick was too far, and the referee wouldn't treat it as Tangning's ball. This kind of chance of a half goal, on the scale of the Premier League, is nothing to hit.

What really surprised Tangning was that Zhao Yaning was in the second half, and he still had such a good speed and strength, and he even retreated to the backcourt to participate in the defense.

But Tangning immediately understood: This is the function of Liverpool's tactics. When the offense goes smoothly, Zhao Yaning's task is also relatively light. In this way, his physical strength can be saved a lot. When the game couldn't start, Zhao Yaning returned to his normal state, retreated to catch the ball, dribbled the ball into the defense, and created a chance.

However, they are already 2-0, why do they need to plug in?

After thinking about it for a while, Tangning understood: They were treating Middlesbrough as a weak team, and they were holding Middlesbrough for tactical exercises.

This is too bullying.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning had already rushed to the frontcourt, and his counterattack was very fast. In the counterattack, he changed two consecutive directions at the front of the penalty area and threw off the defender. This time, he didn't eat raw. He took a step along the penalty area line, and when the opponent's defender surrounded him, he knocked the ball into the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Milito successfully pushed the far corner, and the score was rewritten again!

"Milito's goal! Liverpool led Middlesbrough 3-0! This guy was told by fans a while ago that he looks like Stallone. It seems that he is tough, not just his looks!"

Milito also raised his hand high to greet the cheers of the fans. As a South American, winning in the Premier League is very difficult. In the past, he looked like Stallone, only to be teased. But now, as Milito gradually adapts to the Premier League, no one dares to laugh at him anymore. Now when he is raised in the stands by photos of PS Stallone, the fans are more proud and proud: they have A tough guy who can constantly stab the opponent's blood in the Premier League!

After a three-goal lead, Liverpool also made substitutions. Garcia replaced Zhao Yaning-three days later, Zhao Yaning had a task for the national team. He needed to fly back to the country, and then to South Korea, where he played the final match of the World Cup qualifier with the Koreans. In order to preserve enough physical strength, Zhao Yaning really should rest at this time.

But as soon as Zhao Yaning left the court, the situation on the court changed. Garcia can replace Zhao Yaning's off-the-ball running role, but he can't do a surprise attack after getting the ball in the penalty area. This made Liverpool's deterrence in the frontcourt suddenly weakened.

"Liverpool, Zhao Yaning is still indispensable."

Taking advantage of Liverpool's deterrence weakened, Middlesbrough launched a counterattack, and Hasselbaink slammed into Alonso during the assault, causing the two to fall to the ground together. Alonso covered his face and did not get up for a long time, which also frightened the players.

Last season saw a lot of injuries, but also made the Liverpool players immediately look drastically changed. If the first game of the season hurts an absolute main player, it is hard to say what the future of the team will be.

Fortunately, Alonso stood up not long after, and at this time, Benitez also made adjustments again, let Arteta replace Alonso, Alonso also sat on the sidelines to rest.

"Is it severely injured?" Zhao Yaning couldn't help but ask when he saw Alonso still covering his face, who had been walking to the side of the bench.

"It's not hurt." Alonso covered his mouth and spoke, and when he spoke, his voice was a little weird, "It's okay, but the nose hurts a bit, and, more importantly, It may be disfigured..."

No wonder he kept covering his face... Zhao Yaning smiled in his heart, but still patted him to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I won't fall so easily." Alonso also laughed, "Last season, I took a three-month break, and it was simply a torment. This season, no matter what. I’ll get injured easily again. Moreover, our new team is well treated. This season, I’m sure I won’t have any more problems."

"That's good." Zhao Yaning agreed, then turned his gaze to the arena, "But it doesn't matter if you have an injury, you see that your fellow played quite well."

"Mickel was also a good player." Alonso replied, looking at the look on the field, there was also some movement, "We are really strong. We are all capable players, even on the bench. They are all the kind of amazing strength. We can become the best team in the Premier League, and we are the best."

This Liverpool, as long as there are no major injuries, as long as there are not too many mistakes, they are definitely the most powerful contenders for the Premier League title.

"This season, we won't let Chelsea take the lead and lead the standings again. Don't they want to prove that they are strong? So, let's compare and see. Are they stronger or we are better? !"——

The match against Middlesbrough was won 3-0, and Liverpool's season was a good start.

After playing this game, Zhao Yaning also returned to China. He needs to participate in the final match of the World Preliminary.

The Chinese team scored 10 points in the group stage, ranking first in the group, but Saudi Arabia in second and South Korea in third had eight points and seven points respectively. If this game is won or tied, the Chinese team will be able to make sure to qualify. And if this game is lost, then Saudi Arabia will definitely not give the Chinese team any room for reverie. They must have qualified by eleven points. At that time, China and South Korea also had seven points and they had to rely on the net. The winning ball determines who is second. China now has two goals difference than South Korea. In other words, if South Korea beats the Chinese team by three goals in this game, the Chinese team will lose the second place and can only play in the playoffs.

Zhao Yaning doesn't want to compete with the Koreans for second place, and if he is forced to play in the play-offs, it will be troublesome. I won't talk about the many games, and Zhao Yaning does not think that the Chinese team has a great chance of winning with the teams from Central and North America. Although Central and North America is also an underdeveloped area of ​​football, it is still much stronger than Asia.

Although Zhao Yaning is still doing the worst calculations, most of the Chinese media think that it is a decision to qualify: only if the Koreans have been slaughtered by more than three goals, they may be beaten to the team and cannot qualify. For such things, the Chinese media sees it. It still won’t happen: in the past few years, the performance of the Chinese team has been steadily increasing. Naturally, when Zhao Yaning was there, his strength has always been domineering in Asia. With the Chinese team, there is no need to worry about anyone in Japan, South Korea or Iran too much. And even when Zhao Yaning was away, the game was not terrible. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the several friendly matches. Those games are all things that are not on the table. Even in this year's East Asian Final Four, although Zhao Yaning did not rush back to play, the Chinese team still performed well. They drew with Japan and South Korea, defeated North Korea, and won the semi-finals. Since the Chinese team was not afraid of South Korea when Zhao Yaning was away, he came back for this game, so naturally it was even more different. Unless the South Koreans played the game against Italy and Spain in previous years, it would be difficult for them to win.

And the Koreans themselves know this: they specially recruited Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo and other South Korean internationals, and they want to have a showdown with China in this game: for the Chinese, they lost the game. The worst consequence is that it is only possible to play in the play-offs, but for the Koreans, if the game loses, the trouble can be big.

At that time, China has 13 points and Saudi Arabia has 8 points. They have seven points, and they are likely to be the bottom of the group and Uzbekistan, who has four points! After all, the match between Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan started late. They can wait for the result of the match here before they decide how to play.

If they qualify ahead of schedule, the Saudis will probably not have enough to go to a full-fledged game to ensure the interests of the Koreans. Even, the conflict between Isiah football and East Asian football has always been the case. The Saudis may have lost the game for the sake of the Koreans, so that the Koreans can’t get out of the line and go straight back to their homeland-during the World Cup in Korea and Japan. ~www.ltnovel.com~ The Koreans rely on their great cheating ability, advancing all the way and winning fourth place, while the Saudis were not lightly abused by the Germans, and the top 32 returned home from the bottom. Although this hatred is not counted among the South Koreans, since the World Cup is hosted in Asia, the South Koreans are so unlucky, but the Saudis are so unlucky. This kind of thing, the Saudis also have grievances.

"Fight against the water, do your best to defend the dignity of the Asian Red Devils!"

The Koreans naturally have to shout extremely high-profile slogans before the game. Although they know very well, meeting the Chinese team, especially the Chinese team with Zhao Yaning, is too difficult to get the second place in the group with a victory of more than three goals. However, at least they have to fight for the right to participate in the third play-offs of the group. After all, for so long, among the Asian teams, the best performance in the world competitions is the South Korean team. The Koreans have long been accustomed to self-proclaimed the leader of Asia, and now, Japan is only going to challenge them after the rise of technology. , China is now going to squeeze them out of the World Cup, how can they not fight!

"Asian Red Devils?" When interviewed by the media, Zhao Yaning just smiled at this title, "I have played with Manchester United, and I know them, but Manchester United, as I know, does not elbow Juventus and kick Milan. How can such a team be worthy of the Red Devils name? Football matches rely on strength. I would like to know, without tricks, what is the strength of the Koreans!"
