Chapter 22: Victory over Marseille

On September 17, Liverpool will travel to Marseille. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is a famous French city.

There are always people who say that they dream of living in the flower sea of Provence, but few people know that Provence was a large province in ancient Roman times, and Marseille is the current capital of Provence.

Marseille is also a famous place name in the world of football.

Of course, Liverpool is great because Liverpool is a team with a glorious past, and Marseille is famous mostly because of Zidane's Marseille maneuvers.

Like many of football's top techniques, the Marseille slalom may have been invented on the street by an ordinary person in Argentina or Brazil, and was first used by Rodriguez in the A-category international competition, and Zinedine Zidane carried forward this move with his skillful technique, which as a Marseille man, was named the Marseille slalom.

And Marseille's team, in France is also a giant, however, the French team has always adhered to the characteristics of the civil war inside the outside, in the European competition, Marseille's historical results are not good, recently only won the International Toto Cup in 05, but this championship also led to Marseille's domestic competition vitality loss of the opportunity to reach the top of the league, in the Champions League last year.

In contrast, they and Liverpool, in the Champions League, belong to two teams from different worlds.

Most commentators believe that Marseille simply have the strength to compete with Liverpool, and the question is how much Liverpool can win.

However, when Liverpool arrived in Marseille on September 15, Benitez was shocked when the team habitually collected local newspapers.

The newspapers were full of news scolding Wang Zhen, and some unheard of Wang Zhen's black history was written.

Benitez also went to ask Wang Zhen: "Are you playing as a fan in France?" ”

Wang Zhen looked confused: "Why don't I know?" ”

"Written in the newspaper."

Wang Zhenle said: "You also believe what the newspaper wrote, if you really hit the fans, you won't be banned." ”

Benitez looked at the thick first-base newspaper: "I really doubt that if you play, you will not be thrown by the fans." ”

"I haven't offended Marseille either, have I?" Wang Zhen shrugged: "Whatever, entertain yourself." ”

Benitez nodded: "What do you think of the game?" What is your opinion? ”

"In the face of this kind of underdog team, we should try new tactics!"

Benitez was stunned: "Do I know why so many newspapers have scolded you, you look down on the French club from the bottom of your heart, right?" ”

"The French national team is strong, very strong, and the French clubs, very weak, very weak."

"Did you know that your old teammate arrived in Marseille?"

"What?" Wang Zhen was a little confused: "Old teammate, who?" ”

"Rovic Cana, moving to Marseille on September 1." The last two days of August this year were weekends and, according to the regulations, the transfer window only closed on the first of September, which means that Cana was sold to Marseille at the last minute.

That...... Mainz is really sold out right now, except for the super young group of players, who have basically been bought clean.

"It's okay, Canna can't afford a bad team on his own, he's not the kind of savior type of player." In today's football, the savior-type players are gone, and after Zidane retired and Beckham left, perhaps only Gerrard and other players can be counted as the first half of the saviors.

"New tactics? Think about it. ”

Benitez seems to feel that it is not yet time, if he plays well, it can only mean that the opponent is not good, and the new tactic is likely to be targeted by those who are interested, and if he does not play well, it will greatly slow down the formation of this tactic.

The so-called new tactics have only one characteristic, that is, the offensive and defensive system is placed on Wang Zhen alone.

Wang Zhen will retreat from the position, play the role of two strikers and forwards at the same time, and take into account the defense on the central axis at the same time, this tactic will definitely give the outside world an illusion in terms of intuitive effect, that is, Liverpool's integrity has weakened, and it has become a team that relies on Wang Zhen, which is nothing, but if Liverpool fans take the words of the media to heart, it will simply outweigh the losses.

In the new tactics, Wang Zhen's position will be split into three parts, the center of the positional battle, the second forward of the sports battle as the forward midfielder, and the scavenger in the defensive counterattack.

The position changes greatly, and it requires teammates to adapt to Wang Zhen's position extremely, otherwise it is easy to make mistakes in coordination.

Both Wang Zhen and Rafael Benitez know that his shooting skills are not enough to get too many shots in the more muscular Premier League, and that the Mainz era of Wang Zhen will be gone forever.

The solution to this problem is, of course, a regular retreat.

In Benitez's plan, Wang Zhen's retreat, if successful, will revitalize the entire team's offensive system, this tactic, there is only one person in football who can adapt, that is Wang Zhen, just like the free man tactics of the year.

However, Wang Zhen is not so free and needs to limit some different conditions.

When the game finally came, Benitez decided at the last minute to adopt a new tactic.

Marseille is the testing ground.

When the game started, Kana, who was still about to catch up with Wang Zhen, suddenly found that he was going to play against Wang Zhen!

It was a big surprise.

How strong Wang Zhen's personal ability is, and in what aspects, Rorick Cana is the person who knows best on this planet, and he is extremely reluctant to meet Wang Zhen in this position.

In the thirty-third minute, Wang Zhen faced Kana and directly used a technique that had not been used for a long time, Marseille Roundabout.

The body is straight, the feet are fast, and the eyes are firm, although it is different from Zidane's freshness, but it has the same effect.

"It's always a surprise to be in the Marseille maneuver against Marseille."

A Marseille maneuver shook over Cana, and then, Wang Zhen passed the ball directly.

Compared with the bad shooting footwork, Wang Zhen's straight plug has been trained by Baggio for many years, and the standard is very high.

When the football appeared behind No. 5 Ismaila Tavo, everyone thought that Wang Zhen had made a mistake in passing, however, Torres slapped the horse and fired a shot that Steve Mandanda couldn't save and watched the ball go in.

It's not that Mandanda is bad, but the pass is too sharp, you know, in the eyes of Ferguson, he used to be Manchester United's goalkeeper, if it wasn't for Van der Sar's outbreak, I'm afraid Ferguson would have bought him a long time ago.

"Wang Zhen's sharp pass assisted Torres to score, and sure enough, after Wang Zhen, Torres has performed very well in recent games, and there are signs of breaking out again."

In the 60th minute, Liverpool corner kick, Gerrard took a corner kick, after this period of training, Gerrard's corner kick barely reached the standard of header tactics, Wang Zhen rose from the ground and directly headed into the frame.

“goooooooooooooola――! Liverpool has won Marseille, and sure enough, as determined by the outside world, Liverpool is strong in the Champions League, and at the same time, Atletico Madrid also leads PSV Eindhoven 2-0. ”

If this game goes on like this, I'm afraid it's not impossible for it to turn into a massacre.

However, the problem arose, Marseille was looking to attack, Liverpool retreated all the way, and Wang Zhen entered his own penalty area.

However, in the 76th minute, there was a mistake in the cross between Wang Zhen and Daniel Ager, and Barica Kalou broke through to score a goal for Marseille.

And then, Liverpool sought to attack again, but the teammates did not match Wang Zhen's rhythm, rhythm is a very mysterious thing, sometimes it fits very closely, and sometimes it is not in the same boat at all.

In the end, the score was fixed at 2-1, and on the other field, Atletico Madrid beat PSV Eindhoven 3-0, so Liverpool temporarily finished second in the group, and it is always happy to win, however, the media still asked: "Does Benitez think that Wang Zhen is a newcomer and can adapt to the cooperation of all his teammates in the whole stadium at the same time?" It's not enough to just attack, but also to arrange defensive tactics? ”
