Chapter 175: One Hundred and Seventy-Five:

Dalglish lined up a 4-5-1 formation for the game, with Spanish goalkeeper Reina in goal, whose biggest characteristic is not his good technique or reflexes, but his steady form and tenacity. Before Reina, Liverpool's No. 1 goalkeeper was Dudek, and when it comes to him, fans think of the 05 Champions League final, which was the pinnacle of Dudek's career, when he conceded three penalties for Milan and helped the Reds to the top of Europe. After that match, Dudekwei's name spread all over the world, and Reyna was able to squeeze him away, relying on steady play.

Among Liverpool's starting eleven, Reyna is one of the most reassuring players for fans, and two more names to name are Gerrard and Suarez.

Needless to say, he mentioned the first team in '98, helped Liverpool win the Cup Championship in 01, and wore the captain's armband in 03...... Gerrard has given too much to Liverpool after more than a decade of ups and downs, he has given all his talent to this club, and he has always stepped up when it mattered.

As for Suarez, he transferred to Liverpool last season, when Dalglish had just become the manager of the Reds, Liverpool was in the most difficult moment, he got many opportunities after the transfer, quickly proved himself, integrated into the team, Suarez was the Premier League last season's "best transfer player in winter", another highlight of this game is the best against the best.

They both came to the Premier League last season, they are all strikers, they are all outstanding qualities.

Despite Leander's fame, Liverpool fans still trust Suarez.

After the start of the game, the Liverpool defense kept a close eye on Leander, in order to balance the physical consumption and share the defensive pressure, they exchanged and cooperated. If there are two people watching you at any time, no matter how good your individual ability is, it is not easy to do something, Leander is not surprised, firstly, it is too early, the game has just begun, and secondly, it is good for Manchester United to contain two defenders by himself, and it can give his teammates a lot of space to move, which frees up Rooney and Kaka.

Although Leander likes to talk to dead fat people, he can carry it clearly, so he glanced at Kaka, and then began to slip the back road.

From the start of the game until the fifteen minutes of the first half, Leander did not rest, he was always on the move, trying to get rid of defenders, trying to get out of gaps...... How did I know the truth, and what the fans saw was right.

Someone on the message board said that this scene has been seen!

The commentator also recalled, "There was a game last season that was very similar to this, the dead-to-man tactics didn't work against Blackburn, can it be useful for Manchester United? ”

Whether it's useful or not, you have to defend!

Of course, Dalglish has also considered the problems that fans can think of, although it seems to be a two-man joint defense in the ordinary sense of close marking, in fact, it has connotations, and the personnel responsible for defending Leander are not fixed, and there are frequent exchanges, which can not only balance the consumption of the body, but also avoid being figured out by him.

No matter what tactics, once you get used to them, you can always find a way to deal with them, and what Dalglish wants to pursue is to make him awkward, make him unaccustomed to it, make him unable to use his punches, and completely limit his play;

The idea is good, but it's hard to say what kind of Cheng dΓΉ can be done.

Fans complained that sacrificing two defenders to intercept him, even if it succeeds, the price is too great, and what about Kaka and Rooney?

You have to notice that Liverpool's formation is 4-5-1, Manchester United is 4-4-2, the Reds have one more person in the midfield, although they have an extra place on Leander, in fact, it is relatively balanced, there are definitely disadvantages, but not to the point of unacceptability, Dalglish dares to do this, he has also considered these problems in advance.

It is better to put all three substitutions into it, but also to avoid making Manchester United high, if it is like those previous games, conceding a goal at the beginning, 0:3/0:4 in the first half, basically no need to play, the player's confidence will only collapse, and the further it goes, the more difficult it becomes.

At least survive the first half, and then fight the Red Devils to the death!

Because of the belief in my heart, the defenders are really hardworking, and Leander seems to be working hard, in fact, it is just running blindly, if you want to play, I will toss with you for a while, let the dead fat man and Kaka be cool first, and there is still a balance between teammates.

Kaka and Leander lived together for two months, and there was always a basic tacit understanding, and after receiving that blink, he understood Leander's intentions, not because he had a good heart, but because he had watched a lot of games together, and every time he watched the game, Leander would repeat a few things, the first was to eat, eat his favorite fried chicken legs; The second is to evaluate, to make an evaluation from your own point of view.

For example, watching Real Madrid's game, in order to limit Ronaldo's play, people are staring at him, every time he encounters this situation, Leander is not talking about how to pass, but how to run people to death...... Seeing his acting skills explode and sneak around the Liverpool defense, Kaka couldn't help but feel sorry for the other side.

But the distress is only temporary, the assists and goals are eternal.

Accurately receiving the signal from his partner, Kaka replied with a tacit expression, and he began to assist Rooney and break through with the ball.

The first goal came in the 22nd minute of the first half, Kaka came to the goal after three people in a row, he did not hesitate to get up directly, the ball was saved by Reina, because the angle is more tricky, it is already a god reaction to be able to pounce, he has no spare strength to hold the ball. At this time, the defenders should be the first to stop and clear the ball before they can make a follow-up shot, but unfortunately they are too slow.

It was Kaka who shot the goal, no one knew the path of the ball better than him, he predicted the rebound path and started one step ahead of everyone else -

'After the shot was blocked, Kaka followed up with another kick and his angle selection was so good that Reyna didn't have time to make a second save and the ball went in!! It was a beautiful goal!! In the 22nd minute of the first half, Kaka opened the scoring for Manchester United, and now it is 1:0 away! ”

Seven consecutive wins allowed the lord to calmly face any frenzied situation, twenty-two minutes of scoring was nothing at all, and he smiled like a winner in life, compared to Dalglish with a frown and grim expression, it was completely two extremes.

The lord can be calm, but the fans can't!

The Manchester United anthem in the away stands has sounded, and the other lines are not clear to hear, and it is those few sentences repeatedly, the glory belongs to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United!

After all, this is Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium, and the Reds certainly can't let others be arrogant on their own turf, and almost at the same time, 40,000 home fans also sing the Liverpool anthem - you will never walk alone!

Manchester United's team song is actually more rhythmic, the chorus is impassioned, the Liverpool team song is slightly soothing, if the number of people on both sides is equal, the Red Devils will be more imposing, but this is Anfield, it is Liverpool's home stadium, they are completely crushed in numbers, Gerrard's eyes changed after this song was sung.

Can't let the Red Devils run rampant here!

Chase it back! Chase the score back no matter what!

The camera also focused on the soul of the Red Army, and seeing his resolute and focused expression, Liverpool fans were a lot calmer.

While the media always boast that Dalglish has led Liverpool to glory, the real pillar in the hearts of fans in this day and age is Steven Gerrard. Although he has had a number of injuries this season, although he has only played about a third of the games, although he has rarely started.

"That's the look! It was the same with AC Milan in Istanbul in '05! When the fans were about to give up, Steven Gerrard equalised and took the Rossoneri from the penalty spot! Steven Gerrard we know has the toughest will, he won't let the Manchester United kid dominate at Anfield, he will score, he will use the goal to drive the Red Devils out! ”

……

Gerrard did pick up the tempo of the counter-attack, and after the restart, he showed everyone his skills at his feet, curling past two defenders in quick succession before curling Suarez. There are two people between Suarez and the goal, one of them is Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, and the other is Samba.

Suarez used a juggling trick to pass the samba, he thought he could easily get past Samba!

If it was Christopher Samba a year ago, maybe it was indeed possible, but now it is different, from Blackburn Rovers to Manchester United, Samba is always practicing with Leander, practicing all kinds of dribbling and passing stunts, because I have been a sparring partner for a long time, I have seen all kinds of movements, so I will not panic so twice.

Samba didn't hesitate at all, his eyes were very focused, he was waiting, waiting for Suarez to finish those feints that were actually useless and just used to confuse people, and when he really activated it, he hooked the ball away with his feet.

Although he transferred to Manchester United, although Manchester United has a lot of capable people, Samba has developed a habit of looking for Leander after getting the ball, and he has to look for him across thousands of mountains and rivers! Samba snatched the ball from Suarez's feet, and the dragon father reacted always half a beat faster, he started as soon as possible, and chased the ball away.

Or the old captain is reliable!

This spirit of going forward and passing the ball no matter what, it's so touching!

Samba knows that speed is Leander's greatest strength, and he deliberately drives the ball farther away to give him time to sprint and distance himself from the defenders.

Who is keeping an eye on Leander?

It's Skrtel and Enrique.

Skrtel is a big player, 1.9 meters tall, very strong, because he looks like a well-known American drama actor, known as the prison break, Jose Enrique, who defended Leander with him, is a player who just turned back in August, he played for Newcastle before, and for various reasons it was a little uncomfortable to see Leander.

No matter how unhappy they are, if they can't catch up, they can't catch up!

The two fought hard, but the distance was still getting farther and farther.

Thousands of people in the stands were already on their feet, their hands folded in a prayer gesture, they were waiting, waiting for Leander to get his feet up, waiting for him to blast open the door of the Reina handle.

Andy Gray also took a deep breath, and he turned his speech up to the fastest, ready to enter the roaring mode.

"Leander is so fast! He ran like a gust of wind;! Neither Skrtel nor Enrique could catch up, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther! Leander received the ball from Samba, he stopped on his chest and got up directly, this kick is not very powerful, but the speed is very fast, oh, it's a pity to miss! ”

Commentary is such a profession that is easy to be slapped in the face! Andy Gray was already careful and still got an arrow!

He was sure that he could see it clearly, and there was also a signal in the headset that the ball could not be scored, and it did seem that it was a little off, and Reina noticed that the angle of the ball flight was off after starting and did not continue to follow up, but who knew that the ball would turn!

It's a bit too cheesy to say that, but it's actually a parabola that comes sideways, with a small starting angle, a subtle turn in front of the goal, and the ball seems to be drifting, and with a flick of the tail it goes into the net pocket......

The ball went in, the fans were overturned, the commentator's face was a little painful, and the goalkeeper Reina looked very annoyed, he was sure that the angle of the ball was off, and he felt that he couldn't go in, so he didn't continue to follow, I really didn't expect this kind of follow-up!

Reyna was very annoyed, he felt that he should not be empiricist, he told himself to be more rigorous next, Enrique was not idle, he tried to interfere with the referee, hoping to erase the goal, he kept signaling to the referee that it was offside, it must be offside, it was impossible to get rid of it without offside! The referee didn't listen to him!

The goal works!

Andy Gray sighed with emotion, "It seems that it wasn't just me who made the mistake, even Reina was blind, this ball is really wonderful, if it wasn't for the final change of direction, it would definitely be deflected!" Leander deserves to be Leander, the Premier League Golden Boot lives up to its name! ”

Richard Keith also nodded and agreed: "I have been commenting on the Premier League for so many years, I have never seen this kind of shooting, last year's leap of faith made many people stumble and flash, and this drifting shot is going to bring a new wave of trends!" This goal completely fooled the goalkeeper, and if you can learn it, it will be much easier to brush the goal! ”

Indeed, many times the goalkeeper is sure that the ball is deflected, and he will not continue to chase it.

Why do you think he is sure?

After all, he is a professional goalkeeper in the top league, and if he doesn't have any eyesight, he can only come in through the back door!

Anyway, Reyna was pitted by his rich experience.

It was the first time he had seen a shot like that that turning.

Richard Keith calls it a drift shot, and it doesn't look like it anymore!

It's been crazy on the message board.

[How the hell does this ball come out?] Where should I touch the ball and how much force should I shoot? Did you see anything you understood? ]

[…… If it was so easy to see clearly, could Reyna be fooled? ]

[It feels like it's the hardest shot ever, it's much harder to flick the ball halfway than to center of gravity, and it's hard to control lateral turns.] ]

Don't talk about them, even if a professional striker can't understand it for a while, playing football is not driving, you still flick your tail, how can you get rid of it?

The two commentators exchanged glances, but they didn't understand, even if the replay was still unclear, then forget it, skip it directly, "After the game is over, I must ask Ander how this ball was played, before that, let's talk about this wave of counterattacks just now." Suarez made a mistake and let Samba get the ball, and the Congolese defender and Leander are old teammates, and they have formed a tacit cooperation, and he directly kicked up the big foot to bring this wave of counteroffensive rhythm...... It's a pity that Gerrard created such a good chance, if Suarez had been a little more cautious, the result would not have been like this, even if the shot did not score, at least he would not have conceded the goal in a row! Just 25 minutes into the first half, Manchester United had a two-goal lead away from home, Liverpool survived the first 22 minutes, but conceded two goals in three minutes, the situation on the pitch changed too quickly. ”

Leander scored and walked around Rooney's side, all sorts of chatters.

Don't let you pass the ball to me!

You don't give someone else to give!

After he finished spinning, he went to high-five Kaka, so that Kaka could maintain this rhythm and strive for a hat!

Fat is always angry!

Why?

He can still find opportunities to score goals when he is stared at, and the gap between the scorers is getting bigger and bigger, and God is unfair!!

Like the fat boss, there is also the Liverpool defense.

After celebrating for dozens of seconds, after the game restarted, they were about to stick to each other again, and they were harassed by Leander's chanting.

"Don't follow me! It's useless with me! I have such a good temper, I don't get angry when I stick to death, and I can't get a red and yellow card if I am provoked! If I have the chance, I will break through, can you catch up? ”

"If you want me to tell you to stare at that fat man, you can lose a few balls if you stare him to death!"

……

Leander kept chattering, his voice was not loud, and he couldn't hear it from a distance, but if it was close to the defense, it would be a proper move, he made the defenders one head and two big, and made several low-level mistakes in the middle, and I couldn't wait to fork this SB out of the field!

I don't want to play against Manchester United anymore, their striker is so annoying, not only ADHD, difficult, but also a lot of talk.

"Really don't think about it? You two go to defend Rooney, one defense and one accurate, staring at me is useless! ”

"This is a conscience, for Steven's sake, I just said it!"

It's good to say that if they don't listen, then there is no way.

After two rounds of talking, Leander didn't want to play with them, he went straight from the front line, floated all the way to the midfield, played with a steal like a ghost, and then cooperated with Kaka to hit the wall and bring the ball to the front.

He used that trick again, this time even cooler, and climbed a little higher when he turned, as if he was walking on a winding road.

Reina is the hard-pressed with a capital letter, and this time he predicted it, but unfortunately the top and bottom are wrong......

3:0! Manchester United away 3:0!

Leander was also pleased, and he couldn't help but whistle and shrug his shoulders at the defenders who were catching up.

It's said don't follow, it's good to change the speed to be faster, this kind of muscular defense with a strong body that can withstand a collision but lacks absolute speed really can't do anything! As long as the start is slow, you won't be able to catch up at all, and you can't catch up with what is the use of growing strong?

It's rare for Leander to be so real, and she has encountered a dead brain.

At this point in the game, Gerrard hasn't given up yet, he's trying to figure out a way, he wants to do something, the others are a little panicked, it's 3:0 before the first half is over, this rhythm is too familiar to them, this is Manchester United's field, that's how they play this season!

There are also players who are holding their breath, such as Enrique, such as Suarez.
