Smitchell's appearance was welcomed by Millwall fans, and the feelings of Liverpool fans were a little complicated, because Smitchell is a former Liverpool player, and there are many Liverpool fans who like Smitchell very much, but unfortunately the Czech can only represent the opponent.

At this time, many Liverpool fans hope that Smitchell's performance is not good, and Liverpool is more likely to win.

The TV footage gave Smitchell who walked onto the field.

The Czechs hugged the coming Simpson, then took a look around and trotted to the right, where the game continued and he was quickly up and down.

Smitchell's purpose is clear, which is to limit Liverpool full-back Luis Garcia.

Simpson has been weak in this regard, but Smitchell will certainly make a difference, both because he has a good defensive game and because he knows Luis Garcia well.

When Liverpool launched a wave of attacks, again trying to find opportunities from the left, they found that Luis Garcia was defended, let alone breaking through with the ball, and it was not easy for him to receive passes.

Luis Garcia could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

Smitchell knows him very well, on the other hand, he has been a teammate for a year, he knows Smitchell very well, his foot skills are good, but it is difficult to break through Smitchell, in addition, Smitchell is very experienced, if he keeps staring, it is difficult for him to receive passes.

After two successive waves of attack, Liverpool began to look for opportunities again from the middle and on the right side, with Gerrard being limited in the middle and Xavi Alonso doing well, he was responsible for organising the attack and allowing Liverpool to play together and threaten the Millwall defence.

But it's just a threat, and so far there have been no shots from dangerous positions.

Liverpool's player on the right is Baldwin Zenden.

Baldwin Zenden's name is rarely known, but back five years ago, Zenden's name was still very loud, he was born into a judo family in the Netherlands, his father was a judoka, Zenden had previously won awards in judo competitions and achieved a black belt, but at the age of sixteen, he chose to pursue a career in football and joined PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

Back in 1997, Baldwin Zenden was already the best player in the Dutch league, played in the 1998 World Cup, and then joined La Liga giants Barcelona.

In the 2000 European Nations Championships in the Netherlands, Baldwin Zenden performed well at the European Championships, and although the Netherlands lost in the semi-finals, they were taken seriously by the big European clubs, and finally Zenden moved to Chelsea for £7.5 million in 2001.

At Chelsea, Zenden was once at the heart of the club, but his performances were not as impressive as they were at the European Championships, and when Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich took over, Chelsea made a personnel change, moving to Middlesbrough in 2003 and Liverpool last season.

Looking at Zenden's resume, from PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona to Chelsea and Liverpool, every team he has gone through has been quite good, joining the top teams in the league, which also proves Zenden's genius, but it is certain that since leaving Chelsea, his career has begun to decline.

At Liverpool, Zenden is also not taken seriously.

Benitez chose to add Cendon to the team, but also only to supplement the team's squad, he does not have a fixed main position.

This may be one thing, and it also shows Zenden's current ability, but his wealth of experience cannot be denied, and against Millwall, Zenden will face Braniff and Konchesky.

Liverpool are ready for the game, and Zenden knows a certain amount about Braniff and Konchesky, and he knows that the most important thing is to face Konchesky.

Braniff is good, but most of his performances are in attack, he was still a striker before, so there is no need to talk about defensive ability, and Koncheski is also an old rival, who has been in the Premier League for several seasons, and even if they are not in the same team, they will know each other well.

Zenden wants to help the team find opportunities, so he has to face Conchesky.

This time, when Liverpool attacked, the ball was passed to the feet of Zenden, who swept the midfield and the penalty area, slid his right foot across the ball, and the next moment he broke forward to Braniff.

Braniff was unwilling to be easily passed, and chased fiercely behind him, but Cendon didn't care too much, but carefully observed Konchesky, who was helping to defend.

At that moment, Konchesky came out of his way.

Konchesky was hoping to wrap up with Braniff back and forth, and the sudden kick would also make the opponent panic, but Cendon was even better, he seemed to know what Konchesky would do, took a step in advance and slid the ball sideways, and then twisted his waist and started to chase after him.

This small change of direction left both Braniff and Konchesky behind.

The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately shouted excitedly, and the commentator also shouted, "Cendon! Well done! It's beautiful! He shook off Braniff and Konchesky and single-handedly won the Millwall left defence! ”

"Look at this ball! Cendon, what is he going to do......"

With the shouts of the commentator, Cendon pushed the ball sideways to the edge of the penalty area.

Behind him a Liverpool player to follow!

It's Carragher!

When Braniff and Konchesky were thrown away together, Millwall's defense became very embarrassing, and the back line was suddenly understaffed, Gerrard, Morientes, Cisse and others were all scarred for, but the other players who were inserted could not be restricted.

Carragher is one of them.

Carragher played at the back, but don't forget that he is actually a good midfielder and has a decent attacking ability, and Carragher was Gerrard's midfield partner until Xavi Alonso's arrival.

Now Carragher plugged in in and showed that he hadn't forgotten how to attack.

Carragher swung his right foot at the rolling football!

Everyone in the stadium was staring at the goal, and Liverpool fans were expecting it, because the football was facing the goal, less than 20 meters away, and there was a good chance of scoring it directly.

Millwall was worried.

If Liverpool can equalise, the game will change and Millwall's advantage will not be there.

The commentators also shouted at the same time--

"Look at this ball!"

"Carragher!"

"Let's see! Shots"

At the same time as a few shouts, Carragher's right foot also swung into position, but the next moment the situation was somewhat unexpected, and the ball did not rush directly to the goal, but spun in place, turned a corner and rolled to the left.

Is it passing?

Wrong!

The ball spun violently, but it was so slow that Wes Morgan, who was in front of Carragher, rushed up and kicked the ball back into the Liverpool half.

What's going on?

Many of them were a little confused, and soon they saw that Carragher was unstable and fell to the ground diagonally......

He ...... Mistake! ”

Many commentators pulled the corners of their mouths, many fans widened their eyes, Millwall fans laughed, Liverpool fans wanted to laugh and were very depressed, other Liverpool players were stunned, Millwall players took a long breath, and on the coach's bench of both sides, Benitez covered his cheeks angrily, as if he was ashamed of his player's performance, Zhang Yang took a long breath, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, "Amen!" ”

Zhang Yang was somewhat sympathetic to Carragher.

As for why this happened, it can only be said that Millwall and Liverpool are rivals.

Zhang Yang could not have watched Liverpool score, and at the moment Carragher shot, he used the magic of 'words and words', 'mistakes', two Chinese tones, so that Carragher shot for a brief moment, and then he failed to kick in a trance.

So...... Carragher made a mistake!

A good goal turned into a ridiculous mistake, Carragher's performance disappointed Liverpool, the fans scolded angrily, teammates felt helpless, Benitez was so good-tempered that he almost scolded, such a good opportunity turned into a mistake to give the ball to the opponent, he didn't know what to say.

"It seems that experienced veterans may not be able to be trusted." Benitez thought about it, and couldn't help but look at Millwall's lineup, from the forward Darren Bent, midfielder Braniff are very young, Millwall's youngest is still the back line, Wes Morgan and Alan Hutton are only twenty-two years old, most of the defenders who have ever been so young can only serve as substitutes, but the two are already Millwall's main force, and they have had a pretty solid performance throughout the season.

Of course, in comparison, Carragher is definitely better.

But is Liverpool's back line too aged? Looking at Hyypia, who is the backbone of the back, Benitez feels that the summer transfer should consider bringing in a few young defenders to add some youthful atmosphere to the team, and the young players are full of physical fitness and can also make the tactical play more flexible.

Carragher was the one who was most wronged.

However, Carragher didn't know that he was 'wronged', he was really wrong, and at that moment, he didn't know what was going on and didn't kick accurately, and when he walked back to his own half, he still thought to himself, "Is it too nervous?" ”

"Yes, I guess, I haven't had a shot on goal in the last few games!" Carragher found a reason for the mistake, and he would never have known, and the root of the mistake was the opposing manager.

Zhang Yang exhaled.

In fact, Zhang Yang doesn't want to use 'words and words' to prevent the opponent from scoring goals, because the 'prediction' ability can make judgments in advance, but many failed experiences in the past have told him that the effect of making the players on the field 'pay attention' is not good, and it often does not play a role in preventing goals.

Zhang Yang also had some enlightenment.

'Foresight' may only be a basic ability, judging five minutes in advance, and it is not so expressive, because in the middle of the game, it is not easy to take time to call down a player, and what command to make in the middle of the game is also to take risks, so that the players can distract themselves, maybe the opponent will find other opportunities.

Abilities such as 'Speak the Way' and 'Lucky Blessings' are best used in conjunction with 'Foresight', and the best results can be obtained by using abilities at the most appropriate time in the case of making advance judgments.

In professional football, scoring goals is very difficult, and in many games, it is normal for two teams to go 90 minutes without scoring, especially if it is a decisive tournament where both sides will pay a lot of attention to defense.

This is especially true in the Premier League.

'Defence' and 'tough confrontation' are all Premier League styles, and when there is 'defending' and 'tough confrontation' in a game, it becomes difficult to score goals.

Before the start of many games, some commentators will comment on the game, saying, "One goal is enough to decide the winner!" ”

Mourinho also dared to say, "As long as we score a goal, it is equivalent to winning the game in advance." ”

Liverpool and Millwall are both 'traditional' English teams and it is very difficult to score goals when two teams play each other.

Liverpool were unaware of missing a chance to score, and this one could be the only chance of the game.

From this point of view, it is still very valuable to stop a goal with 'walking the talk', and the following game proved this, Liverpool tried their best to attack, the back line was a little pressed forward, and even ignored the defense, but for a long time, there was not even a threat to the ball in the Millwall penalty area.

When Liverpool don't score for a long time, Millwall have a chance.

This time Millwall launched a counterattack, Wes Morgan made a long pass from the backfield, passed the ball to the front ten meters of the penalty area, a figure quickly intervened, and before the landing point, the Liverpool players were sure that it was-

"Maurice!"

"Wes Morgan! A very decisive long pass, he found Morris, and Morris passed on to Lenn Bent! This is a great opportunity! ”

Throughout the game, Darren Bent couldn't find a chance because Liverpool defended him too tightly.

When the time came to the last ten minutes, Liverpool also had to step up their attack, and the defense at the back was a little overwhelmed, and Darren Bent felt a little relieved.

Darren Bent was moving forward quickly, Hyypia posted it, and so far in this game, Hyypia has been defending Darren Bent, which is the job given to him by Benitez.

Now Hyypia knows that Darren Bent must be stopped.

Hyypia was confident that he defended the whole game and knew a little bit about Darren Bent, he knew that the player was technically good, but he was still not physically strong, and as long as he was stuck in the right position, he could at least prevent the opponent from continuing to break through.

Darren Bent noticed Hyypia, but he didn't slow down and continued to rush forward.

He's getting faster and faster!

Hyypia followed, ran forward, and used his body to obstruct it, but he overlooked one thing: in the previous defense, most of the time, Darren Bent was near the penalty area, there was not enough space to play, and the speed could not explode at all!

Not anymore!

On the periphery of the penalty area, especially most of the Liverpool players, there was no time to retreat, and Darren Bent had plenty of space to rush up, and by the time Hyypia realized it, it was too late because he had been left behind by Darren Bent, and his legs were constantly waving and getting farther and farther away from the opposition.

When he really opened up a position, it was meaningless to do whatever he wanted to do.

Hyypia was a little annoyed that he should have been fouled, but he could only watch as Darren Bent rushed over and confronted his goalkeeper Reina.

Reyna rushed out.

Reyna realised the danger when he found it difficult for Hyypia to stop Darren Bent, and perhaps out of trust in Hyypia, he failed to rush out of the net at the first time and gave Darren Bent plenty of space to shoot.

Darren Bent glanced at the goal and swung his right foot without hesitation.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the ball rushed past Reina's hands, rushed across the goal line and plunged into the net!

"Darren Bent!"

“goooooooooooooal！！！”

The BBC commentator excitedly shouted, "This is the goal that decided the outcome and the goal that made the Liverpudlians desperate!" ”
