Chapter 400: Shadows

"See, No. 18, it's the little man who looks less than 1.7 meters, your task today is to stare at him to death, so that he can't move an inch!"

As the players from both sides warmed up on the field, Alonso pulled Mascherano and pointed to Merian in the opposing lineup and said to the little pony. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mascherano, who was given the chance to start because of Deco's rotation rest, nodded with a serious expression, and looked at Merian with a cold glint in his eyes.

Merian's contempt for Notts County has already made a fuss, which is a provocation that Notts County will not encounter in the near future, even if Alonso doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to take care of Merian.

Anyway, the team doesn't need his offensive ability very much, as long as he follows Merian every step of the way, Little Pony is confident that Merian will be invisible on the court.

He is no longer the stunned young man in the Brazilian league, after more than two seasons of training in the English league, his own talent plus the confrontation from the English players, still all kinds of small actions, if he is really serious, it can make a player so uncomfortable that he wants to commit suicide.

Unfortunately, today Merian has become a victim.

Within a few minutes of the opening, the arrogant Merian felt the pressure, followed by a small tail-like Mascherano, wherever he ran, this little tail followed, and in these few minutes, he did not even receive a single ball.

Marseille started the game very cautiously, not attacking aggressively, but only testing a little in the midfield, and as a midfield commander, Merian could not get the ball, let alone a threatening attack.

Seeing that he had no chance to get the ball under the marking of Brother Xiaoma, he simply retreated to the backcourt to get the ball, otherwise he was really worried that he would not even have a chance to leave the country in this game.

But what he didn't expect was that he retreated, and the guy who looked like a stuffy guy in Notts County also followed him to the half, just like kraft candy, he wondered if this guy had any thoughts about his ass, and there were a lot of bends these years!

Mascherano had his task, but the rest of Notts County was playing as planned, and since Marseille didn't take the initiative, they didn't mean to be modest.

is still the high-intensity pressing that he has always been best at, and he has built a solid defensive line in the midfield, even if Mascherano did not return to his position due to special tasks, he is still blocked.

At present, the style of the Ligue 1 team is still very close to the Latin style, the pace is generally slow, and a large extent depends on individual skills, and the unity is not their specialty.

So this kind of high-level pressing is actually very restrained in the French team, Marseille, as one of the representatives, is naturally also very limited, the offense can't open the situation at all, even if it controls the ball, it can only be backward in the backfield, and it can't threaten the goal of Notts County.

Of course, a large part of the factor is in Merian's body, without which Marseille's attack would simply be disjointed.

As a result, before the game had been ten minutes, Marseille, which was fighting at home, had fallen into a passive situation, and the Marseille fans in the stands were in a hurry when they saw it.

Merian, who was extremely irritable by Mascherano's guard, was already a little unable to restrain his anger.

"Can you please not circle around me, okay, I'll poke your chrysanthemum!" Merian finally received a pass from his teammates, but had to pass it back to the goalkeeper under the close pressure of Little Pony, and finally became angry and turned his head to spray wildly at Little Pony.

Merian was of short stature, and Mascherano was not tall, but he was strong enough, and he looked condescendingly at Merian who was blowing his beard and glaring, his expression full of disdain.

Feeling Mascherano's contempt, Merian's eyes were red and he was about to make a move, but at this time, the referee saw the confrontation between the two of them, and quickly ran over to separate the two, and then each gave a warning, so that an all-out martial arts operation was finally eliminated.

To say that Merian still has a certain strength, otherwise he would not be hailed as Zidane's successor, received a pass from his teammates, used a very realistic feint to shake off Mascherano, and finally got rid of Mascherano's defense for the first time, and wanted to rush forward with the ball, but before he could get faster, he was shoveled to the ground by Alonso, who was killed in the oblique stab, and Alonso also received a yellow card for this.

Alonso got up and walked away expressionlessly, but Merian was so painful that he didn't want to get up, and his heart was surging up.

Little Pony hurriedly thanked Alonso, because Alonso got a yellow card for solving his troubles, but Alonso naturally didn't care about this, but just told him to be careful and never give Merian any chance.

The little brother who had learned a lesson was even more obscene in his stance, and when he was close, he didn't harass Merian with the small movements of his hands, and he didn't even let go of the sensitive parts, which made Merian get goosebumps.

"Could it be that this guy is a real, no wonder his expression was so secretive when he just said that he was going to explode his chrysanthemum." Merry muttered with peace of mind, and then looked at Little Brother Ma's eyes much more complicated.

I don't know if I'm disgusted psychologically, Merian is basically avoiding Little Pony in the next game, even if he can't get the ball all the time, it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't let Mascherano play on him.

Merian's abnormal behavior was seen by the Marseille coach, who didn't understand what was going on between the two, but felt that Merian was avoiding the confrontation with Mascherano, or paddling on the field, it was like sleepwalking!

The team's attack needs to rely on Merian, but if the team's core players are invisible on the field, then the team's attack must have no discipline at all, and the Marseille coach is extremely disappointed with Merian.

In the first half, neither side was able to score, Marseille was due to an unfavorable attack, while Notts County had a certain element of bad luck, and several good chances were not able to be grasped, but on the whole, Notts County had an absolute advantage.

When he walked back to the players' tunnel at halftime, Merian hurriedly ran a few steps, and at this time, there was finally no entanglement from Little Pony, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

"Merian, rest for the second half!" Back in the locker room, Merian didn't expect a slap in the face that awaited him.

He didn't know what was going on, so he asked in a puzzled voice: "Sir, why do you want to replace me, I am the offensive core of the team, without me, how can we break the Notts County goal?" (To be continued.) )
