Chapter 300: Top Running and Archery!
At half-time, Mark Hughes lost his temper and criticized the whole team, with a focus on centre-back Cameron and Shaqiri at the attacking end.
Cameron was played by Jiang Chenxi, and he was completely unable to interfere with Jiang Chenxi.
As for Shaqiri, the Swiss are all thinking about scoring today, taking the ball is a breakthrough, a breakthrough, and then it is really impossible to form a breakthrough, and finally the goal is barely finished, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Shaqiri is the end point of Stoke City's attack.
Mark Hughes made a change, and in the second half of the game, defenders Munesa and Cameron switched, with the former marking Jiang Chenxi.
Cameron breathed a long sigh of relief as he glanced at his partner, and it was clear that he knew how much pressure he would face in the second half.
As for Shaqiri, Mark Hughes asked him not to break through with the ball with his head bored, but to cooperate more with his teammates and pass the ball more, and the latter nodded sullenly in agreement.
After the start of the second half, Shaqiri did follow the manager's arrangement and began to try to cooperate with his teammates and send passes.
This also allowed Stoke City's offense to start improving.
Henderson was fouled in central midfield, Stoke City sent a quick free-kick, Shaqiri broke through the distance with the ball, and suddenly sent a cross that was very precise and Charlie Adam picked up the ball in the unguarded area.
"Chance!"
The Stoke City fans in the stands cheered, but the cheers soon fell to a halt and Charlie Adam's shot had little power or angle, and was easily held by Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet.
Shaqiri was unhappy with Charlie Adam's poor quality shot, shouting at his team-mate, who waved his hand in apology.
……
Subsequently, Shaqiri also created a decent chance for Diouf up front, but the opponent did not cut forward to chase the football and missed a good opportunity.
Perhaps seeing that two of his very good passes were wasted by his team-mates, and that he was still thinking about scoring goals, he felt that he might as well come by himself, Shaqiri soon began to play alone again.
Seeing Shaqiri start to go solo again, Mark Hughes looked embarrassed on the sidelines, but he didn't go up and yell this time, because he didn't criticize Shaqiri for anything, after all, the Swiss did listen to him before, pass the ball more and cooperate with his teammates more, but his teammates were not angry, and he wasted opportunities continuously, so in this case, Mark Hughes had no choice.
Speaking of which, Mark Hughes is indeed not a coach with a tough personality, if he is a coach who is very assertive and insists on his tactical choices, he should continue to criticize Shaqiri strongly at this time, because although his teammates wasted the opportunities created by Shaqiri, but at least this shows that Stoke City's attack has improved, the tactics are right, and they should continue to adhere to this style of play.
In the 63rd minute, Stoke City had the best chance of the game when Charlie Adam's long-range shot from outside the box caused Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet to save the ball, and Shaqiri was clever at the back post, choosing to shoot from a small angle instead of passing to the unguarded Diouf, which was blocked by Liverpool veteran Skrtel's outstretched leg on the goal line.
Diouf was furious at Shaqiri's choice, yelling at the other party, and the two seemed to have some verbal altercations.
"It was the wrong choice! Shaqiri just needs to cross the ball and Diouf will hit the empty goal! "John. Mortenson said mercilessly criticized.
"If the ball goes in, there's no problem, the problem is that it doesn't go in." He Wei's remarks are more direct, as an attacking player, choose to shoot instead of passing to a teammate in a better position, and that's probably right, provided you get the football in!
……
Liverpool seemed to be overly relaxed after the start of the second half, so much so that Stoke City were given a couple of good chances.
However, after Stoke City squandered chances in a row, Liverpool began to show their strength and began to fight back.
Not long after Stoke City squandered that great goalscoring opportunity, Liverpool began to push their way.
First, Jiang Chenxi was pulled to the ground in the front court, and Coutinho's free kick hit the crossbar, which shocked the Stoke City fans into a cold sweat.
Subsequently, Lallana dodged a shot at the edge of the penalty area, and the football hit the defender Cameron's calf and refracted it, the ball slowed down and became weak, and it seemed that there was no threat, but Jiang Chenxi ghostly appeared on the route of the football, stretched out his foot and touched it, and the football was almost attached to the post out of the bottom line.
"WOWO-" Lineker exclaimed, "this is Jiang, so good, after such a refraction, the football route cannot be mastered at all, but Jiang captures the football route, but it is a pity that this ball is a little bit worse." ”
……
Three minutes later, there was an unexpected situation in the field:
Liverpool veteran Skrtel was injured after completing a tackle, and after a team doctor's examination, Skrtel was unable to continue the game and Liverpool were forced to make a substitution.
Virgil van Dijk, who had joined Liverpool from Southampton for a few days, came off the bench to replace Skrtel.
'Dutchman Virgil van Dijk is on.' Duan Xuan said, "Van Dijk's transfer to Liverpool is not a transfer with a high transfer fee this summer, but it is definitely eye-catching, Southampton has just brought in players from Celtic, and he has not played an official game for the team, so the transfer fee has doubled to join Liverpool." ”
'With Van Dijk, four of Liverpool's players are now from Southampton. He Wei said that in addition to Van Dijk, there are also Lovren and Klein, as well as Lallana in the front, especially Liverpool's backline, two central defenders, a right-back, all from Southampton, Liverpool's backline is simply specially customized from his fellow countrymen.
It was Van Dijk's first game for Liverpool and no one could have imagined that the Dutch tallman's debut would be so impressive.
Stoke City's attacking opportunity, Van Ginkel hoisted the ball into the box, Van Dijk squeezed past Diouf, grabbed the spot, and pushed the ball out.
Liverpool launched a quick counter-attack.
Lallana was driving forward with the ball at high speed, and he faced Pieters' defence before catching a glimpse of centre-back Virgil van Dijk pressing up and passing the ball to his new team-mate.
Van Dijk received the ball, pulled the ball with the momentum, and then without the slightest hesitation, directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area with a long pass.
Van Dijk had only played two warm-up games since joining Southampton, and there was little impression of the Dutchman, in fact, the coaches of other teams in the Premier League had a blank impression of the Dutchman: what are his characteristics and what are he good at? I don't know!
……
The centre-backs instigated a direct attack with long balls, which caught Stoke City's defence off guard.
The Stoke City players were focused on defending at the top of the box and did not think about what was behind them.
Stoke City's central defender Munesa was even directing his teammate Cameron to defend Salah, who was running on the wing, but ignored Jiang Chenxi, who had been quietly inserted behind him.
I saw the football fly over the crowd into the penalty area, straight to the back point, Jiang Chenxi, who got rid of Munesa smartly, had already penetrated to the back point, and the unguarded Chinese star looked at the incoming ball and ran to the right position, without making adjustments, turned sideways and volleyed with his right foot, and hit the ball into the far corner.
“Goooooooooooooooooaaaaaal!”
"Jiang—" John. Mortensen shouted, and he praised Jiang Chenxi's goal, "It's so beautiful!" This ball shows Jiang's ability, top running ability and shooting skills are vividly reflected in this moment, and of course, the Dutchman's long ball is also very good! ”
After scoring the goal, Jiang Chenxi ran to the sidelines, knelt down to celebrate, stood up with his fists in front of his chest, and posed domineeringly in front of the camera, enjoying the tsunami-like boos of the home fans at Britannia Stadium.
At this time, Jiang Chenxi closed his eyes and shh
