Chapter 652: The Scots and Italians
The Liverpool fans in the stands erupted in huge boos, a goal that made Liverpool hate and frustrate. Tomato☆Novel.com '-'.
Liverpool led twice, but were equalized twice, and that's not all, before the end of the first half, Manchester City actually scored another goal to reverse the score, and now it is Manchester City who lead!
Such a contrast makes Liverpool fans quite uncomfortable.
The Liverpool players were also dumbfounded, five minutes ago, they were still 2-0 up, and now, with a minute or two left in the first half, the score is suddenly 2-3!
Rao is that these Liverpool fans are all experienced stars who have seen big scenes, and they can't help but be a little confused.
Dalglish was even more dumbfounded on the sidelines, his face was ugly, at 2-1, Dalglish was very happy, he was thinking about whether Liverpool could seize the opportunity to score again, it was best to establish a lead of more than two goals, and he even began to think about whether to replace Gerrard in advance if Liverpool established the victory early in the second half, then whether to replace Gerrard in advance, the captain of the Reds was not long after returning from injury, but he could not be injured again.
Unexpectedly, the people of Manchester City suddenly exploded as if they had played chicken blood, scored two goals in a row, and even reversed the score after equalizing the score.
Dalglish was furious, and he burst into a rage on the sidelines.
Dalglish is notoriously short-tempered, in fact, the temperament of Scottish coaches seems to be mostly like this, and the famous Scottish coaches in football are all character coaches.
Compared with the English coaches, the Scottish coaches are not outstanding in terms of technique and tactics, but they are all full of personality, tenacity, toughness, paranoia, and enthusiasm...... The unique national character of the Scottish people has made Scottish coaching a great success.
Ferguson's label is tough: "That tough, unreasonable red-nosed old man!" is what all the stars who have worked with Ferguson have to say about the old man. Indeed, the premise of playing at Manchester United is that you must not offend Ferguson, Ince, Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy, David Beckham, Veron, Keane...... No matter how strong they are and how big the cards are, they will have to leave if they offend Ferguson, but the only constant is that Manchester United will always be so strong.
Sir Busby's label is tenacity: perhaps, there is no coach in the world more resilient than Busby. Tomato ''-.'f'q-x-s'-.comWhen Busby took over Manchester United in 1946, Old Trafford had been bombed into ruins, Busby led Manchester United to achieve a revival in just 5 years, but the Munich air crash caused Manchester United to suffer a devastating blow, but Busby started over, rebuilt a great Manchester United, and finally won the Champions Cup, it can be said that Busby's tenacity is unmatched.
Liverpool's legendary coach Shankly is even considered to be a paranoid: in order to inspire his players and maximize their potential, Shankly will even describe Bobby Charlton as a "garbage player", and those football quotes have influenced countless football people, Liverpool fans will never forget the two sentences that the old man said, "Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death", "In this world, the best team is the Liverpool team, followed by the Liverpool second team".
Compared with the English coaches, the Scottish coaches are not outstanding in terms of technique and tactics, but they are all full of personality, tenacity, toughness, paranoia, and enthusiasm...... The unique national character of the Scottish people has made Scottish coaching a great success.
George Stein was a passionate coach: Alex Ferguson once said that if I had to invite a Scottish coach to dinner, I would invite George Stein. Stan was the kind of passionate coach who led Celtic to nine consecutive titles from 1966 to 1974 and in 1967 with a group of locals all from Glasgow who beat Inter Milan in the final of the European Champions Cup. On 1 September 1985, Stan led the Scottish national team to a draw with Wales in Cardiff to qualify for the 1986 World Cup play-offs.
Graham's label is stubborn: now seeing Arsene Wenger's Arsenal team, it is hard for fans to imagine what Arsenal was like in the Graham era. His stubborn and hard-line "1:o doctrine" has always been scolded by hostile fans because the game is boring and boring, the fans in the stadium are not interested, and the Gunners put too much emphasis on physical confrontation, and their style of fighting is brutal, which has also been criticized by critics. Graham, however, were extremely stubborn and unfazed at all times, and led Arsenal to two English league titles, in 1989 and 1991.
These coaches have one thing in common – they are all Scottish.
Temper doesn't solve the problem, and after scolding, Dalglish regained his composure, dragging his chin and looking at the field with a hesitant face, he was thinking about the crux of the problem.
The eyes of the Liverpool King finally fell on Yang Fan, although the last goal was scored by Kolarov, but Manchester City's attack, the most critical pivot, is still on Yang Fan!
Kolarov's goal also illustrates this problem, Kolarov shot wonderfully, David Silva's score was also in place in time, but the most important thing is that Yang Fan passed the football out under the three-person package and instigated this attack, this young man is too powerful, when Carragher and Meireles surrounded Yang Fan, Dalglish also thought that Yang Fan had no choice, but he didn't expect that this person would make a Marseille maneuver and fight a way out of the siege, and pass the football to the most suitable position, so that David Silva could complete the last pass!
Skillful foot technique!
Calm mind!
Open horizons!
Quite a big picture!
These words began to appear in Dalglish's mind, yes, behind Yang Fan's getting rid of and sharing the ball, there are so many powerful things!
To put it bluntly, the Manchester City team suddenly exploded, and it was able to score two goals in a row, in the final analysis, it was Yang Fan. Fan○ eggplant ☆ novel network △▽△ -'-.'f-q'x-s-'.'c'o-m This is the role of the level stars, they may disappear temporarily, but once they explode, they can cause a devastating blow.
Dalglish looked at the time, it was already the forty-fourth minute of the first half, and there was not much time left in the first half.
In this way, at the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 2-3! According to international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is behind, and Manchester City has a 3-2 away lead over Liverpool.
The first half of the game was spectacular, Liverpool led twice, Manchester City equalized twice, the two sides fought against each other, and Manchester City scored a goal in the last minute of the first half, which made the fans addicted to watch.
Manchester City entered the dressing room with a one-goal lead. The Liverpudders who were one goal behind seemed a little frustrated, they once thought they could enter the break with a one-goal lead, but they did not expect to be scored twice by Manchester City, from a goal lead to a goal behind, such a psychological gap is very uncomfortable.
Commentators from all over the world have expressed optimism that they will be able to come from behind in this difficult game, which will help them win the game. ☆ □Tomato small ☆○△ say net ''-.-f-q-x-
"Man City have a one-goal lead! It's not easy to fall behind and equalise in an important game like this, they're on the other hand and it's even better for them to keep that lead until half-time!"
"Manchester City's tactics were quite successful, they were very strong, they were behind and they were immediately colorful, the whole team played with character, especially the last goal, their stars up front were involved, and it was the full-backs who scored the last goal, which caught Liverpool ......off guard."
"The first half was really exciting! it wasn't as dull as I expected, Manchester City and Liverpool, they deserve praise for their aggressive attacking attitude! In just the first half, there were five goals, which is rare, and it was a very enjoyable game for football fans!"
Manchester City fans were also happy with the result.
In the stands, fans were excited about the first half of the game, and one fan shouted, "Great!
"Hey, man, what do you mean by that, shouldn't we be ahead?" shouted someone next to him.
", of course you should be ahead!" I just didn't expect it to be the other way around in the first half, we had a hard first half, God forbid, we held on and we were ahead, and I was nervous when I saw Liverpool leading 2-1, this is Anfield!"
"The third goal was really beautiful, I thought it could be Young shooting, it could be Tevez, it could be Toure, it could be Silva, I just didn't think it would be Kolarov!
"We're definitely going to win this game. ”
"Of course, we have Yang Fan!"
Manchester City fans and many commentators are optimistic about Manchester City's game in the second half, but Manchester City's Italian coach is Mancini, who is a little optimistic at the moment. Upon walking into the dressing room, every Manchester City player could see the solemn expression on their faces, and it was clear that their manager was not happy with the one-goal lead, but on the contrary, seemed to be worried about something. ▽Tomato▽ △ '-'.'f'q'x-
The players always think a little less than the coach. Because they are players, they are only responsible for implementing the coach's tactical intentions on the field. It's not good to say. They are tools. And the head coach is at the helm of a team. He has to think a little bit more and see a little bit further than any smart player. Otherwise, the ship will run into a reef that you can't see, or a storm, and the manager has so much to think about anyway. They are at the helm of a team and they have to be thought through.
The players didn't have to think about what might happen in the second half, they just had to play according to the manager's arrangement, so everyone was happy to take the lead.
But Mancini thought about the possible changes in the second half, and whether it was raw or not, he had to take it into account. His task is to do his best to prevent a possible unfavorable situation from happening.
'It's good that we're one goal ahead, especially when we're down twice, and it's really good to do that. Mancini said.
"Guys. It stands to reason that I should praise you and congratulate you at this time. But I'm sorry, but I can't do that at the moment. Mancini shook his head. 'I thought about the danger we might face in the second half and Liverpool will not be willing to lose this game, so you should be able to imagine the difficulties and the pressure we will face in the second half. ”
The players looked at their manager and listened to what he had to say, and after two seasons of running-in, Mancini was still recognised in the hearts and minds of the City players. The Italian manager, though, is not able to get along with the players because of his personality, but of course it is not necessary. However, Mancini still has a certain prestige among the players.
Mancini continued: "The Liverpools are tenacious, they have the tenacity to come back, think about the Istanbul night, how they came back from 3-0 down to level the score, and dragged the game into a penalty shoot-out, and finally beat AC Milan to lift the Big Ear Cup!!? In the second half, if possible, I want you to try to take advantage of the chances you can score......"
That's right, the game against Liverpool, I have to mention the night in Istanbul, when you think of this game, you have to be wary of Liverpool's tenacity, even if you have a three-goal lead against this opponent, you can't relax.
So, hearing the manager mention the famous final, even the most optimistic Manchester City players had to put away their contempt and remind themselves to be nervous.
In fact, Liverpool really doesn't seem to have anything to show off in recent years, except for Istanbul Night.
Liverpool was once the proudest team in English football and now holds the record for the most Champions League titles. But since entering the British era, they have been up and down, and they have never been able to pierce the layer of window paper, and even have a tendency to decline. And the miracle in Istanbul seems to be just a deceptive that makes people sigh.
Reinforcements are the most direct way for a team to improve their performance, as it can be used to strengthen the team in a more targeted manner. But the Liverpool boss doesn't seem to be very good at bringing in reinforcements over the years. Houllier spent a total of £128 million on the Reds in '98 until O3, but there were not many good signings, and Hyypia, Reese and Hamann were more role players.
With a total transfer expenditure of 289 million in six years, including players such as Alonso, Mascherano and Torres, it was also the best and most consistent period for Liverpool. But Rafa's challenge is the inability to retain people and the difficulty of bringing in good replacements after the brain drain. Take, for example, the departures of Mascherano and Alonso, where they left and the boss found Aquilani, who was worth £2ooo million, but the Italian was never able to fit in with the team and eventually returned home. Since then, whether it is Poulsen or Lucas, the Reds have not been able to find a suitable midfield replacement until today. To paraphrase that sentence: I sold an iphone, and then used the money to buy a bunch of BP machines, business passes, and Wenqu stars.
Now, Suarez's arrival looks like a good signing.
One of the reasons why Liverpudlian people attach great importance to this match against local giants Manchester City is that they hope to prove themselves by beating Manchester City and prove that they are still a giant and cannot be bullied. In fact, it's a sad thing to be reduced to having to prove yourself through a game.
In the home dressing room at Anfield, Dalglish was also speaking to his players.
"You have done a good job, gentlemen. The Liverpool players thought that the grumpy king would be angry and would spit in the dressing room, but they didn't expect Dalglish's first sentence to praise the players first.
The players looked at their manager in amazement.
"I'm not sarcastic. We actually took the lead twice in the first half, which is a good sign and shows the desire to win the game, and even though the score in the first half was not as good as it could be, there were some good things in the process, which is very gratifying. Dalglish said.
Hearing the 'king' say this, the players, including the captain Gerrard, were a little moved, especially Gerrard, he knew Dalglish, knew the temper of the Liverpool king, he was angry, he would definitely be angry and scold, now since it is a compliment, this is definitely not against his will, he really feels that it is not so bad. This made the Liverpool players feel a little better.
"Okay, after talking about the good side, now it's the bad part! We are behind the score, this is the most direct problem that needs to be faced!"
"In the second half, we have to fight back, we have to attack, this game, except for the victory, any other result is unacceptable!"
'In the first half we gave City the chance to pick up the ball at will in our midfield and then the half would not be there anymore. We need to regain control of the midfield. 'He glanced at Lucas and Gerrard, who would be key.
'They pressed high on both wings and we had to take advantage of that in the second half. Suarez: You have to run more wide in the second half so that you can get more chances. Carroll you stay in the middle and we need your transition in the middle to push their backline as hard as possible and create space for our midfield. ”
The two strikers nodded, Suarez is not a center forward in the traditional sense, and he can play on the wing, while Carol, who is tall and tall, can play the role of a fulcrum in the frontcourt.
And on the Manchester City side.
"In the second half we stopped attacking and started attacking steadily. Mancini said.
No one was surprised, including Yang Fan, because before the game, Mancini stressed that the game at Anfield would be difficult, and one of the central ideas in his strategy for the team was that if they could take the lead in the first half, then gradually shrink the defensive line in the second half and start to play defensive counterattacks, either to maintain this advantage, or to take advantage of the opponent's pressure and attack, eager to equalize, waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack and then widen the gap.
Manchester City have Yang Fan and Tevez, both of whom are good at counter-attacking, and they are trying to take advantage of Liverpool's eagerness to attack to equalize, try to seize the gap after Liverpool press hard, and then score to establish the win.
In the dressing room at Anfield, the home team's Scottish coach gave the order to his disciples to attack, while the visiting team's Italian coach emphasised the importance of defending the counter-attack.
