105 Metamorphosis 2

"Doot-doo-"

At 4 p.m. London time, the referee blew the whistle on time.

"The referee blew the whistle and the game began. Norwich have drawn five of their first eight games, and those draws have included against the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle. Norwich City took the same approach in this game, sending in five midfielders to strengthen the defence. It seems that Norwich have a clear goal and to take a point at Upton Park is their goal. ”

"Football is starting to go in a conservative direction again. ”

Richard Guise criticised the current style of football. Because although English football has been criticized for its low technical content, English fans like to watch attacking football. The same goes for commentators including these who are heavily influenced by the style of English football.

What English football is all about, what it pays attention to is to get the ball into the opponent's penalty area. It is a tradition among many coaches in England that the more the ball goes into the opposition box, the more threat it creates.

That's why a lot of clubs in England play 4-4-2 with wide players constantly crossing. As a result, English football is fast in attack and defence, and England fans love to watch the kind of intense games.

I don't like to look at teams that are defense-oriented.

"It's all a bad example for Rehhagel. ”

Andy Gray is a big mouth.

I don't know how to converge at all. Andy Gray has always thought that he understands tactics very well, so he arbitrarily evaluates the team's tactics and those famous coaches during the game. Now Andy Gray is directly criticizing the Greek coach who just won the European Championship, Rehhagel. I think it was Rehhagel who led Greece to the European Championship, giving others a bad example and bringing other coaches badly.

'It's not easy for West Ham to break down the Norwich defence in this game. ”

"yes. ”

Both men have the same opinion.

Dense defending, this is a headache for all teams around the world. The same goes for those who are at the top level. And for weak teams, dense defense is the easiest and most effective way to deploy against strong teams.

West Ham is a promoted horse no matter how it is said, and its strength is not as good as those top European giants, and it is indeed a headache to face dense defense. After the start of the game, several attacks did not have good results.

Lambert and Defoe were lonely up front without Carrick's support.

"Ribery, Ribery shakes off the angle and crosses...... The ball was a little too big. ”

'Lambert's header was given to Defoe, who shot from distance and the ball hit Fleming. ”

Norwich are really united.

All the players at Norwich City know that Norwich are poor. Norwich want to be relegated and have to defend and counter-attack. Picking up a point away from home is the goal for Norwich. Of course, if there is a chance to steal a three, so much the better.

So Norwich is defending with a numerical advantage. And every time they got the chance, Norwich countered quickly. Norwich will try to get the ball to Bentley and Darren Huckby because they are two of Norwich's fastest players.

"Bentley, Norwich's counter-attack. Norwich got a counter-attack...... Bentley's pace was good, Martin Anthony came over to defend. ”

Bentley was Norwich's counter-attacking point.

So there was a chance to counter-attack, and Bentley was able to dribble quickly down the flank. Norwich also analysed the situation of West Ham before the game, and West Ham's midfield defense has always been very good.

Michael Carrick has developed into an attacking and defensive midfielder and is one of the best midfielders in the Premier League. Not to mention his playmaking skills, Carrick's defensive ability is also very strong. Carrick is in a high position in midfield, positioning, defensive ability, and physical confrontation. In addition to Carrick, West Ham also have a strong defensive player in midfield.

One is Mascherano and the other is Leo Coke.

Both men are very good central players, with excellent defensive qualities, good running ability and wide coverage. Therefore, West Ham's middle is very difficult to break through, and the best breakthrough is still on the wing. West Ham's two wide players, in particular, are full-backs who are stronger than defensive.

Plus Bentley despised Martin Anthony from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, Bentley has almost forgotten the season when he was on loan at Oxford United. For Bentley, the time of Oxford United could not be regarded as his career at all. Because in Bentley's mind, the kind of team that Oxford United is not worthy of him at all. As for those players from the lower leagues, there is no chance to meet again in the future. Those players will never make it to the Premier League in their lifetime, that's Bentley's heart.

It's just that I didn't expect Chen Ping to come to the Premier League so soon, and even Lambert and Martin Anthony also came to the Premier League. But even if they make it to the Premier League, they are still rubbish in Bentley's eyes.

When Bentley was at Oxford United, Martin Anthony was nothing, except for being faster and getting better.

Clumsy dribbling, clumsy passing, headless fly-like movement.

Bentley's teammates in the Arsenal youth team, any one of them, even if they are substitutes, are better than Martin Anthony. Such a player, how can Bentley look at it. What can I do now in the Premier League? With Bentley's pride, I don't look down on the players of Oxford United at all. Including Lambert, who has just entered the national team, Bentley can't look down on him.

So Bentley came straight at Martin Anthony with the ball. Bentley wants to tell Martin Anthony not to think that he can really play in the Premier League with Chen Ping. The Premier League is not the place for garbage players like you.

"Bentley, Bentley broke through the middle, this is a feint, Bentley still has to go wide. Bentley is very good at technology, Bentley ...... Martin Anthony, Martin Anthony stuck in position and grabbed the ball!" I love

Bentley looked down on Martin Anthony.

So in the face of Martin Anthony's defense, he made the appearance of going to the middle. Then quickly move the ball to the side, ready to continue on the side. Bentley thought his movements were realistic.

In fact, Bentley's technique is really good. Under normal circumstances, many defenders eat this kind of feint. It's a pity he ran into Martin Anthony. Martin Anthony does have a lot of problems and his weaknesses are very obvious. But Martin Anthony has a good advantage, and that is that he is very calm.

Very calm on the pitch. As his experience increased, his calmness became more apparent.

Bentley had a beautiful feint, but Martin Anthony didn't shake it in the slightest. He stood there calmly, watching Bentley's movements. It was only when Bentley flicked the ball out to break down the flank that Martin Anthony made a move. Martin Anthony stepped forward very quickly and slipped a foot between the ball and Bentley, separating the ball from Bentley.

Bentley was already up in speed in order to break through from the wings.

But it hit Martin Anthony in the back. Bentley is a technical player, only 1.78 meters tall, not very strong, and is not a player who feeds on his body. But Martin Anthony is different, he eats on his body.

Look at Martin Anthony's body options, a row of red. Martin Anthony's speed, explosiveness, strength, agility, bounce, balance, and endurance averaged less than nine, but more than eight.

This kind of physical fitness makes him not suffer from physical confrontation with any player in the world. Bentley's physicality is a match for Martin Anthony. Bentley hit Martin Anthony directly in the back. Martin Anthony didn't have anything to do, and Bentley himself fell.

"Beautiful, Martin Anthony chose the timing very accurately. Bentley complained to the referee, apparently complaining that it was a foul. But this is really not a foul, it can only be that Martin Anthony's body is too strong. ”

"Yes. ”

Andy Gray laughed and said: "I always say that if West Ham's Martin Antony had been smarter and knew how to play with his defenders and midfielders, then he would have been the best left-back in England. Look at Martin Anthony's physicality, look at Martin Anthony's speed. England haven't had a defender in such physical condition for many years. ”

Bentley complained to the referee all the way, but the referee ignored him.

This made Bentley angry, even humiliated. I was destroyed by a garbage player like Martin Anthony. How is this possible, he is a genius, what is Martin Anthony? The more I thought about Bentley, the more ashamed I felt.

The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became.

If it were a different person, Bentley wouldn't feel so aggrieved. But a garbage player who he never put in his eyes and was about to forget about it actually broke his ball, which made him feel ashamed.

Bentley's personality is the axis, otherwise his career would not have been on bad terms with all coaches. Even coaches like Arsene Wenger and Redknapp, who are suitable for developing young players, did not have a good relationship with Bentley and eventually expelled Bentley. It was because of Bentley's poor personality that he retired at the age of 29.

In contrast, the group of Arsenal youngsters who won the FA Youth Cup with him were far less talented than him, and they have surpassed him in several careers.

Bentley and Martin Anthony are in a relationship. Norwich played a defensive counter-attack in this game, and under the pressure of West Ham, Norwich did not have many counter-attacking opportunities. But with a couple of counter-attacking opportunities, Bentley was completely involved with Martin Anthony.

"Bentley, Bentley, Bentley shook Martin Anthony. Martin Anthony reacted quickly, Martin Anthony caught up with Bentley, and Bentley couldn't get rid of Martin Anthony. Martin Anthony kept squeezing Bentley, who made a mistake with the ball and the ball went out of bounds. ”

"Bentley, Martin Anthony hit Bentley, Bentley fell to the ground. This was a normal collision, and the referee ignored Bentley's protests. ”

Why Chen Ping likes Martin Anthony.

It's because of his perverted physical fitness. Even if he was shaken by Bentley, Martin Anthony was able to put it back on soon. In terms of speed and explosiveness, Martin Anthony is a true fast horse.

Bentley's speed, while not bad, was completely impossible to get rid of Martin Anthony. Martin Anthony would stick to Bentley when he stepped forward, not giving Bentley a chance to get rid of it at all.

Martin Anthony is not afraid of this one-on-one, or this one-on-one confrontation, Martin Anthony is not afraid. Martin Anthony's biggest fear is that the opponent hits him behind with a coordination. It's a pity that Norwich is defending and counter-attacking, and there are only a limited number of people when counterattacking.

In addition, Bentley is too stubborn, so he has to go to Martin Anthony's side, that is, to break through Martin Anthony one-on-one. The result was a couple of encounters, all of which Bentley came home without a feather. Norwich's few counter-attacking chances were directly wasted by Bentley.

Overall, the game was very dull.

West Ham couldn't get in, and Norwich couldn't hit the counter-attack. However, the tempo of the game was still under West Ham's control.

"Carrick, Carrick gave the ball to Benayoun. ”

Norwich have stockpiled heavily in midfield, including Norwich striker Huckby who has returned to the middle to defence. Therefore, after Carrick gets the ball, he will not stop in the middle, and will hand it over to the two wings and let them figure it out.

"Benayoun, Benayoun didn't go to the side, he went to the middle. ”

Benayoun's technique is good.

Or very delicate, you can find a lot of space for emergency stops and turns. Benayoun had tried to break down the flanks a couple of times before and then crossed, but none of them worked very well. So this time he chose to go to the middle.

"Benayoun, Benayoun past Johnson. Benayoun's technique is really good, Benayoun continues to go to the middle, Holt, Hortra lives Benayoun. Benayoun fell, it was a foul, a foul. ”

"It's a really good position, about 26 metres from the goal. This kind of free kick is also a very good opportunity when the situation cannot be opened. West Ham have a good number of free-kick players. ”

'Ribery, Carrick, Martin Anthony were all in front of the ball. From the point of view, the left-footed player is more suitable for this free-kick, but the right-footed player can also shoot. Ribery, Ribery jumped...... Martin Anthony, this goal is Martin Anthony shot!"
