The Ball at Your Feet

"Don't be too frustrated, it's just a ball."

Although everyone felt the same frustration at this time, as the captain of the team, Gerrard still yelled twice. It's just that although he said so, his voice doesn't sound like he has confidence.

A person was sent off in the game and he was still behind in the score, which is a bit dangerous to say. Although the outcome of this game itself is of little significance, even if the game is lost, the remaining two games will be no problem, but the Liverpool players are still reluctant to lose.

But there are ten people...

"I'm going to kick the midfielder, Joey, you'll take care of the attack from the center and the left alone." Gerrard said immediately.

"Stephen, do more to plug in." Zhao Yaning stopped Gerrard, "We are missing individuals, and their attacks will definitely be more fierce. They have a lot of problems with their defenses. Let's see if we can find a chance to fight. Through their rear line."

What Zhao Yaning thought at this time was, naturally, how to get an entry by counter-attacking football. There is one less player on the team, and it is easy to go wrong when playing ground coordination. At this time, if you can simply pass the midfield quickly and then shoot directly, you may have a better success rate.

For some reason, Benitez did not make a substitution, which also made Zhao Yaning wonder what he was thinking. However, after the game continued, Zhao Yaning quickly realized that although one person was sent off in this game, the impact was not as great as imagined.

Gerrard returned to the backcourt and assumed Sissoko's job. Although he is not as good as Sissoko in this position, he can still complete the same. In the frontcourt, Zhao Yaning's running increased, relying on his own running to cover the attacking power of the two lines in the middle and the left, coupled with Riise's continuous advancement behind him, Liverpool's attack line, there is no What's the big problem.

Gerrard's role in the frontcourt is to cruise around looking for long-range shots to make up for Milito's lack of single-handed ability on the front line, and at the same time open up opportunities for Zhao Yaning. Secondly, it is to allow him to counter grab on the spot and increase the chances of the frontcourt. Now, he withdrew back, the frontcourt is also missing a mobile turret, and there is no high-intensity frontcourt press. As for opening up the empty space — the Bundesliga team’s defense line does not need to be opened, it is also natural existing.

Relying on Zhao Yaning and Gerrard's running coverage to make up for the team's shortage of manpower... But what is this practice? Practice how ten people fight eleven people? Enough support?

Zhao Yaning didn't understand Benitez's thoughts, but since there was a balance of power on the scene, he has no doubts for the time being.

At this time, you should think about how to attack.

Insufficient manpower in the midfield can be made up for by inserting back or tacking in the frontcourt. At this time, looking at the opponent's starting line of defense, Zhao Yaning dispelled the idea of ​​tackling. There are fewer people in the frontcourt, and it will definitely not break through such a thick defense. It is necessary to ensure that there are enough people in the frontcourt. In this case, the task of passing the midfield must be handed over to the backfield defender.

Zhao Yaning yelled at Rise twice, and let Rise understand what he meant. Soon, the attack led by Rise directly broke through the midfield.

Obviously, the Germans also understand the idea of ​​playing football: the sideline is inserted to make up for the disadvantage of the midfield, which has always been a common method. Liverpool still have Zhao Yaning and Figo in the frontcourt, and their advantages are still great. Now that they have a player inserted in the backcourt, it is of course that they still have to fight Bremen.

Of course Bremen will not give up the advantage at this time, and they immediately opened a tighter defense.

Rise's advance insertion this time obviously has no effect. Flins pressed him firmly, not giving him a chance at all. Riiser was trying to protect the ball while on the other hand, he was also looking for teammates. At this time, midfielder Gerrard quickly stepped in. Riiser struggled to get away from Flins and lost his balance. Under the circumstances, he kicked the ball to Gerrard who was inserted.

When Gerrard took the ball, he looked up at the front. There were almost no holes in the back line. It was difficult for him to pass the ball to Milito. In desperation, he could only give the ball to Zhao Yaning.

At this time, Zhao Yaning also had Bowman's defense. But Zhao Yaning still stretched out his foot. However, this time, instead of stopping the ball, he stepped directly on the ball and swiped the ball behind him.

Figo got the ball there, and immediately he made a diagonal pass and sent the ball directly to Milito's feet. However, Milito was watched by Naldo and he was very defensive. He kicked the ball back and gave it to him. Zhao Yaning. This time, Zhao Yaning made a diagonal pass to the right and gave the ball to Figo who was inserted!

This time Figo had no choice to pass the ball again. He stepped forward, raised his right foot, and shot towards the far corner of the goal!

Wiese fell to the ground in time, trying to intercept the ball with his feet. However, the ball speed was faster than he thought, and the ball still flew to the far corner. And after a clear bang of the goalpost, cheers immediately rang out on the scene!

"Luis Figo! He scored the equalizer goal for Liverpool! Now Liverpool don't have to worry about falling home again! The Germans failed to contribute to Anfield, Liverpool defended the game!" —

At the end of the game, the curtain was still closed with a 2-2.

After being tied by Liverpool, Bremen also decisively chose to defend. If the opponent punishes one person and is defeated by the opponent again, it will be a big joke. And for them, getting an away draw is a good result.

After they contracted their formation, Liverpool, which was understaffed, was indeed unable to conquer their defense. In the end, 2-2 was a foregone conclusion.

"Liverpool can only get one draw in the most crucial match of the Champions League, which makes their Champions League match not yet over for the time being. They also need to win at least one match to ensure that they are on top of the list. The position goes out."

In fact, Liverpool has now completed the early qualifying. They reached 10 points, Bremen and Betis both scored 5 points at this time, and there is still a game between them. With two games left, their highest score is 11 points, and in that case, the other one will only have a maximum of eight points. Liverpool is now in an invincible position anyway, and has already qualified early.

It’s just that if you want to qualify as the number one in the group, it’s better to win another game, otherwise, there are still some unsafe conditions.

At this time, what surprised Liverpool was that the other three European records seemed to have encountered problems.

Arsenal are in the best condition of the other three teams. In the group, they are leading the same way, but in their team, Henry and Reyes are injured, and Van Persie was suspended for kicking in the game. Now Arsenal has four consecutive European games. Win, but the team's state is not optimistic. This situation has affected their league results and left them early.

Although Chelsea drew Barcelona in an away game, they were defeated by Barcelona with a penalty in their home game. This group can be called the most competitive group, it is true. Chelsea must go all out in the next two rounds. Even so, they are still very likely to be second in the group.

And Manchester United's situation is even worse, they are now in the group, only ranked third, and even only with the fourth Lille. If you don’t get a full victory in the last two games, it’s hard to guarantee even qualifying-the last time Manchester United died in the group stage was ten years ago. If you really can’t qualify this time, it’s fun. Up. But in their first four games, they didn't win a match. In such a state, who can believe that they will be able to qualify?

What's more surprising is that Glazer, Manchester United's new boss, even expressed his opinion in the newspaper. In his words, it was mentioned, consciously or unconsciously, that Ferguson is old and not suitable for Manchester United. Manchester United needs a new and better coach.

"If Manchester United really blasted Ferguson away, then the Premier League will have fun." In private, Liverpool is a bit gloat. "As soon as the old man is gone, our chance will definitely come."

Manchester United has indeed fallen a lot in recent years, but even so, no one thinks that Manchester United will definitely fail. The reason is also very simple, the man named Ferguson is still in Manchester United, no one dares to despise them. Even if there is no investment, no big names, tactical reforms have failed, the newly bought Hope Stars have always played badly-but as long as they are Manchester United, no one dares to say more, Mourinho dares to scold everyone. Temper, he didn't dare to provoke Manchester United, even if Ferguson shook his face in the Champions League, but he still had to take the initiative to visit Ferguson with wine. It can be said that in addition to the city of Liverpool, the entire United Kingdom has no lack of respect for Manchester United and Ferguson.

But this Glazer, this American, really played tricks...

"We should take advantage of Manchester United's confusion ~www.ltnovel.com~ to give them a bit of cruelty... It is a pity that we can't meet them now, but in any case, the results must suppress them. They come back."

Although Liverpool wanted to expand their advantages in the league at this time, it was clear that they failed to do so during the game.

On the weekend, against Fulham, they sent out the lineup without Gerrard and Figo. They entered the rotation list again, because Gerrard just recovered from injury, and Figo is a veteran, they played too many games is not good, played in the Champions League, the league can temporarily rest.

Riise was placed in the forward position, and in the back position, Traore was the starting field.

And this also made Eriksson in the stands extremely depressed: he wanted to come to inspect the national team members, but in such a round, only one of the 22 people on the field, Carragher, belonged to the England national team. He came here, it was a personal matter. Show?

And this personal show was obviously a failure: shortly after the start of the game, Malblanc made a pass from the left. After receiving the ball, Jensen picked a pass and sent the ball behind the defensive line!

Collins John received the pass, Carragher's mark made a mistake at this moment, and his shot from close range set the record for Fulham!

"It seems that the long two-line battles have had an impact on Liverpool. Although their strength is stronger, they are also more exhausted. They have lost goals in two consecutive games. Obviously, Liverpool is not like it was at the beginning of the season. So tough."
