Green Life

Chapter 59: Guardian Knight (medium)

   Mandanda looks very busy today, but there are actually very few shots from within the Liverpool frame.

  Space, still space!

   If you rank the four giants this season, the impact of the opponent's compressed space on the team should be Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal in order.

   Arsenal’s excellent small-scale cooperation and Fabregas, who was born like a sword of heaven, have the least space requirements, and their lack is domineering.

   Manchester United and Chelsea’s style of play is essentially the same. They are crazy about attacking the wing with world-class wingers. It’s just that Manchester United is good at scheduling on the two wings and Chelsea is good at defensive counterattacks.

   Liverpool is in the most chaotic state. Benitez has been in charge for three years. It can be said that the technical and tactical transformation is only half completed, because he racks his brains to build the team every year.

   Let us return to the field. Torres just barely escaped the gap and kicked the door. There was no threat and was easily confiscated by Mandanda. Today, Marseille had a very strict guard against him.

  Marseille must have studied the recent Liverpool game. Torres has been in a hot state in the last few games, and he can change the game with one chance. He is on his way to a superstar.

Thirty minutes have passed since the game. Liverpool received nothing but a yellow card from Gerrard. Marseille's counterattack was like a throat. Gerrard knocked down his former teammate Zenden when he was chasing back and received a warning card. .

McManaman commented: "Gerald's recent state is a bit sluggish. After Alonso was injured, Gerrard has taken on too many tasks. Marseille has not leaked any obvious loopholes today. Liverpool wants to break through the door of Marseille. Virtue must stand up"

   Indeed, of the four midfielders today, only Gerrard has a reliable long-range shot. The midfielder's attack is not strong, and Marseille will shrink to the penalty area with more confidence.

  Unable to attack for a long time, the scene slowly returned to silence. Benitez has not returned since he left the coaching bench. He scratched his hair anxiously from time to time. The scene kept giving him a bad feeling.

   The coach has his own premonition for the game, his team is not playing smoothly, they can often feel the first time, Benitez does not feel good.

   Liverpool did not play their own rhythm!

   Great opening and closing, this is Liverpool's consistent rhythm in the past few years, not complicated, meaningless short passes are few, scheduling, non-stop scheduling, but today, they are all gone, they are stuck in the quagmire of Marseille weaving.

Egérei sat firmly on the coach’s bench. Nasri, the core organizer of the team, was absent, making him more determined at Anfield to line up the 451 formation that strangled the midfield and defended the counterattack. Judging from these 30 minutes , He was very satisfied.

   Thirty minutes later, several people on the Liverpool bench got up and went to the sidelines to warm up one after another in order to prevent the body from getting too cold.

   The domestic audience watching in front of the TV in the middle of the night came to their minds, "Want to change? Mark Qin is going to play?"

   Duan Xuan glanced at the online platform and said with a smile: "Mak Qin got up to warm up, but some viewers may not know it. This is a routine warm-up, not to play."

   Zhang Lu also smiled on one side: "It seems that some fans can't wait. Now both sides of the game have nothing to do, it's a bit dull"

  "Zhang will guide you to analyze why Liverpool has been unable to break through the gates of Marseille."

   "This Marseille is not a weak team either. It is also a powerful team in France. Today, Benayoun, Torres, and Gerrard's three main offensive points are a bit fragmented, and they can't cooperate."

   "Yes, although we watched Liverpool playing with great momentum, it was a little thunder and rain."

   "Yes, it's a bit of a separate fight, which shows that Marseille's defense is very good, and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to fight like this."

   It seemed that this sentence was fulfilled. Until the end of the first half, Liverpool did not score a goal. Mark Qin returned to the locker room with the main players and heard a room of gasps.

  Tired, very tired.

   Gerrard pours a sports drink, and Carragher wipes his sweat and shakes the towel. "This Marseille is like a turtle shell."

   "Oh~, comfortable", Gerrard breathed a sigh of relief, "the second half has to strengthen the long shot, it is difficult for them to get into the penalty area"

   Before I finished speaking, Benitez came in. The first sentence was: "Crouch, you replace Voronin in the second half, help Fernando and Steven make the fulcrum."

Maqin glanced at Voronin. He lowered his head and couldn't see the emotions or anger. Although a veteran of nearly 30 would not be as impulsive as a young player, it is unavoidable to feel unhappy. This way of substitution seems to be The main responsibility of the half is the same as him.

Benitez didn't pay attention or didn't expect this at all. He arranged his own tactics, supported by the two major gangs of the mainland and Spain. Benitez really didn't need some uninfluential singles, Gerrard He patted Voronin on the shoulder for comfort.

   After Crouch went up in the second half, Liverpool's offense really improved. This bamboo pole is not too thin, and it is fine to hold the ball with its back. Torres and Gerrard each threatened Mandanda's goal with a shot.

   caught Gerrard's long shot, Mandanda drove a big foot to the front court, Mascherano was born in the midfielder position is world-class, he pushed Niang and prepared to top the ball back.

It may be that his height affected his balance. When he jumped up, he raised his arm unconsciously and hit Niang on the head. Niang covered his head and fell down. The referee immediately ran over and stopped the game without any hesitation. A yellow gem card was shown to the horse.

   The two Liverpool midfielders were both recruited. Mascherano was still defending with the referee. The referee shook his head and blew his whistle to resume the game.

Zenden gave the winger Ziani a kick, and Ziani hit behind Enrique with one over the top. During the intermission, Egere arranged for him, and he resolutely beat Enri if he had the opportunity. Behind Ke, Niang caught the ball on the sideline of the penalty area by speed.

After receiving the ball, it was a cross. Scotter stretched out his leg and didn't block it. The pass was a bit curved. Valbrina then inserted a header to grab the spot. Carragher, apart from his height, was completely a template for a top central defender. This ball, he lost in height.

   Carragher took off on the spot, Valbrina rushed to the top, the ball was very flat and anxious, the quality was very high, he rushed ahead of Carragher and headed the ball into the net!

   This is the first time that Marseille hit the goal frame in the whole game and scored a goal. Football is sometimes so dramatic. The Marseille players are very excited and rush to the sidelines to celebrate.

   Carragher was a little upset. Just now Valbrenner rushed over from the side and the ball was too fast. He didn't get into position in time. Reina stood up and kicked the ball to the midfield. The ball was lost, really frustrated~

Benitez scratched his head, really worried about what was coming. He subconsciously looked back at the bench, thinking about how to change it. No one’s pain believes that every coach hates it. That means all your tricks are possible. Seen through by the other party.

   "Oh," Duan Xuan said in the studio, "Liverpool was attacked by one, this ball~"

   Anfield was lively for sixty minutes. The singing voice was a bit quiet. The most depressing thing was that he looked at the opponent and beat him for a long time, and was knocked to the ground by an abrupt uppercut.

   The game restarted. A few minutes later, Benitez looked at Liverpool's still ineffective offense, and finally decided to give it a go and waved Lucas and Maqin.

   The domestic fans who had guarded the middle of the night finally saw the light, "Makqin is ready to play", Duan Xuan said excitedly, "He will be another Chinese who will appear in the Champions League after Sun Xiang."

   McManaman commented: "Benitez is ready to give it a go. Now the situation is very serious for Liverpool. If Marseille wins two straight, then the situation in the group will be very unfavorable for Liverpool."

   Peterson took over and said: "What do you think of Lucas and Mark who are on the court?"

"Lucas has already become famous at a young age. His problem is to adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible. Regarding Mark, I returned to Liverpool. Many people spoke highly of him. We have not seen him yet. He is still very young. I hope he can grow up smoothly. Too much praise will make young players lost, after all, their mentality is still immature"

Sixty-eight minutes into the game, Lucas replaced Finnan, Maqin replaced Kuyt, and Benitez arranged for him to play right wing. I don’t know where he is so powerful. He was trained in the team. Never played this position.

   "Sister, your boyfriend is on the stage"...

   The Mark Support Group swiped and raised a huge banner. Aiming and the fat boss took a megaphone and led the team to shout slogans, "Mark Mark, invincible! Mark Mark, invincible!"

   What a bad slogan!

   Fortunately, Mark Qin couldn't hear him, otherwise he would shiver in fright.

   There is no time to express his feelings for his Champions League debut, Liverpool's attack is too fast, he must immediately enter the rhythm to help the team equalize.

   After Gerrard met Benayoun on the left, he moved the ball to Maqin with a big foot. Marseille defended the ball too tightly on the left, knowing that Benayoun and Enrique attacked well.

   Maqin stopped the ball with his chest, and the opposing left back and left midfielder had already surrounded them. They were not familiar with Maqin and did not dare to pounce too hard at first.

   He stopped at a forty-five-degree angle, and there was no right back on his side. It was too easy to lose the ball if he wanted to make a hard jump. After a glance at the penalty area, the mentality of these teammates was really anxious.

   Except for Lucas at the back, there was no one who came to meet and cooperate, and they were all in the penalty area to grab points.

   He had no good way, so he had to pass the ball at 45 degrees. In the past few years, he had practiced free kicks. This helpless cross gave him the taste of Bayesian arc.

   "Good shots~"

   "beautiful~"

The ball bypassed the outstretched foot of the opposing left-back, and quickly passed between the goalkeeper and the central back. The ball seemed to be heading towards the goalkeeper, but it had extremely fast internal spin. It was in the small penalty area. Moving away quickly, Mandanda was prepared to intercept, but when the situation was wrong, he quickly retreated.

   "Torres~, shot~", countless live broadcast platform commentators instantly raised their voices, and saw Torres kicking out from behind the Marseille defender Givet, with one foot on the ball.

   The fans behind the goal jumped up to cheer with a bang. They just raised their hands halfway, and found that the ball floated above the crossbar and fell behind the net.

   "Oh~", a huge sigh.

Torres slapped the lawn with annoyance, and got up and gave a thumbs up to the retreating Maqin. The ball passed by Maqin just now was too thief. Torres originally wanted to kick the goal, but he didn’t expect to spin so fast. I didn't stretch my feet a bit, and the ball bounced up against the ankle.

   The ball was so shocked that Egéré got up from the coach's bench. He quickly walked to the sidelines and confessed loudly to the left midfielder Kana, "Look at him, don't give him space!"

   "Makqin was not soft when he came on the court, and immediately instigated a very threatening attack, but Torres did not grasp the opportunity," Duan Xuan said with a little regret.

   Zhang Lu went on to say: "Torres didn't prepare enough for this ball. He didn't expect Maqin to pass the ball."

   "Ma Four Eyes Bull Pen", the Internet forum suddenly became lively

   "Upstairs, your nickname is as good as my athlete's foot"

   "Call Maham, this Bayesian arc is so angry"

   "It might as well be called a motor inside~"

   "Motor? Haha"

   "This sentence is broken upstairs, my heart swayed~"

  Makqin started his Champions League debut under these noisy and crowded circumstances.
