Volume 2 Chapter 27 There Are Eyes Behind Us (Ask for the First Order)

"Fans and friends, this game is about to start, we see that the players from both sides have stepped onto the pitch, this is the 23rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool are at home to Aston Villa......" said Peterson in the opening introduction.

The match was scheduled for 8pm local time, and the stands were already packed, with Liverpool fans watching every minute of Liverpool's journey to the title this season.

Countless red bars have also turned on the TV, this game must not be pulled away by Manchester United, the whole city of Liverpool is waiting for it, not a strong dialogue, but very crucial.

Steven Gerrard walked at the front of the line, leading his team-mates with a little caddie in his right hand, and Makqin at the back of the line, leading a little girl, all of whom were children from the Liverpool community.

During the monthly community week, they will go to the primary school or some welfare communities to do some public welfare community activities and run the club image of Liverpool.

In this game, he partnered Torres up front, and he was a little excited to play with Torres up front for the first time.

Torres is a complete goal-scoring machine right now, and without his goals, Liverpool are in an uncertain position, and after 22 rounds of league games, he has scored 16 league goals.

As he walked, he turned his head to look at Professor Yang in the future, he was now like a little green skin, and remembered the arrangement in the Benitez dressing room, "We must prevent the speed of Ashley Young and Abang Laho, their attack depends on the speed and crosses of these two men."

Liverpool wore a white shirt and Aston Villa wore a traditional maroon shirt, with both players in place and Aston Villa awarded the first kick-off.

Rafael Benitez and Martin O'Neill stood in the coaching area, waiting for the game to start.

Liverpool's starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Enrique, Skrtel, Carragher, Arbeloa

Midfielders: Benayoun, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard

Forwards: Mack, Torres

"Toot", the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Aston Villa kicked the ball off the first and Abonlaho kicked it back to Gardner and ran forward quickly.

Mackin followed Torres and pounced, Torres went to pounce on the player, he went to pounce on Gardner's forward pass, which they had agreed.

Gardner saw Liverpool's quickness, didn't drag, and kicked back to the back line.

Torres and Mack kept moving, continued to press forward, and the midfield would follow them, this was a pre-match tactic, and pressing this thing up front was a common occurrence for every coach in the Premier League at the time.

Villa captain Laursen, who scored a beautiful own goal against Liverpool in the first game, immediately received a long ball with a big foot and went directly to the head of high school striker Kalou.

Torres stayed in the front, Mackin immediately ran back, Torres didn't need to defend, he needed it, although it was not as heavy as Kuyt's defensive task, but the pressure on the opponent's back and pressing the defender in the middle was the defensive responsibility arranged by the coach.

Karui leaned hard against Skrtel and struggled to get his header down, but he couldn't control the momentum, and Carragher, who was helping the defence, took a step forward to push the ball into the midfield.

Alonso dropped back to receive the ball and played it to Enrique on the wing, and Aston Villa immediately retreated, leaving only a high school striker in front of him, Kalou.

Mackin immediately ran to the left side of the forward line, and it is not his job to take on the midfielder now, he can only trust his team-mates to push the ball up smoothly.

If there is no good passing midfield, no matter how good the striker is, the power of the striker will be greatly reduced.

Villa's four defenders, almost all of whom can play central defenders, do not step forward to assist, you can imagine their defensive strategy, Mackin inserted behind their right-back Davies, Enrique a side ball over the top, bypassing Benayoun who was defended by Davies, to find Mackqin.

Direct pass and speed, this is the biggest difference when midfielder Mack Qin is not there, Mark Qin never blindly passes directly, but once he passes directly, there must be a killing opportunity.

But Liverpool's regular game, when it comes to the front, is fast-paced, almost non-stop through passing, which is related to the efficiency and speed that Benitez pursues.

Makqin ran to the side, and as soon as he pulled the ball down with the outside of his left foot, he felt a strong force rushing against him, hitting him with a stumble, and the ball was almost knocked off the sideline.

He quickly caught up two steps, stepped on the ball with his left foot, and used his shoulder to stubbornly press against the defender who followed the defender, if he guessed correctly, it should be the Swedish tough guy Folberg.

Resisted a little, immediately pulled the ball, pushed with his right foot, and returned to Benayoun in the back, wrestling is not his strong point, and it is easy to lose the ball if he resists again.

Liverpool fell into a 30-meter area positional battle, and Benitez's offensive pursuit was to hit the ball to the opponent's dangerous area first, and then make a fuss, never too much entanglement in the midfield, so an Alonso command direction, too much is a waste.

After passing the ball, Macqin immediately turned and ran towards the penalty area, Benayoun also cut inside with the ball, and Enrique inserted it on the side, which is the most basic side attacking routine.

At the beginning of the game, the players who chased back Villa followed very well, Enrique did not run out of space, the ball was transmitted on the right periphery of Villa, Mackin ran to the line of the big penalty area, turned around and made a ball with Benayoun, and was pushed by Forberg again.

He glanced back at this clear-eyed Swedish tough guy, your strategy is to follow the defense? He decided to give it a try.

Thinking of this, he did not continue to swim around the penalty line, but continued to retreat, with a tendency to return to the front waist line to get the ball.

This time, Forberg didn't follow after a few steps forward, but shouted at his teammates to pay attention to Mack.

I see!

This is an opportunity to take advantage of.

'Villa lost possession at the start and immediately retreated, which was inevitable because this is Anfield,' said Pietersen after the opening.

McManaman was staring at Mackene's performance, and he was now slowly becoming a fan of Mackin, and he felt that this kid was full of all kinds of unbelievable creativity on the field.

He plays in the midfield, so playing as a striker, is it more expected?

The ball was transferred from Liverpool's left side past Alonso to the right, and Gerrard made a diagonal pass from the right in front of the big penalty area, trying to find Mackin who was back into the back of the box, the intention was too obvious, and the right-back Davies who recovered the box headed off the bottom line.

Benayoun took a corner, Mackin did not respond, but ran according to the tactics, he was responsible for cruising at the back post, the corners of the first team, he could no longer change tactics as casually as the youth team.

Unless one day he becomes the heart of the team.

Benayoun's corner went wide and was headed off the touchline by a Villa defender who didn't create much of a threat.

Isabella sat in the stands not far away and watched the game quietly, even if it was such a noisy environment, it couldn't drown out her tranquility, since her relationship with Mackin was exposed, as long as she had time, she would be there for every game of him, and she also began to learn football-related knowledge.

How can I know nothing about my boyfriend's career.

Mackin told her that this game is important for him, and he wants to make a name for himself up front so that he can be in a good position in the competition for appearances up front.

She doesn't know much about what the forward performance is to praise, maybe it's a goal, she quietly looks forward to it.

She didn't know that every time she broadcast live recently, the camera would seize the opportunity to give her a close-up, and as Mackin became famous, her fame also increased day by day because she was so beautiful.

Enrique took the throw-in and threw it again to Mackin who ran to the touchline, which he met on the left touchline and Torres on the right, which was also arranged.

This time Forberg didn't follow, Davis was behind him, there was no chance to play like this, Villa's formation was too flat, and the success rate of the cross was very low unless the pass was particularly accurate.

After receiving the ball, he didn't attack, took two steps back sideways, and a mid-distance pass back to Mascherano in midfield, and then ran back.

Villa's formation needs to be pulled out a little bit to give Torres and Benayoun and Gerrard space to sprint.

The ball began to pass left and right in Liverpool's midfield, and Alonso took the opportunity to give Torres a through ball, who had just escaped Laursen's defence.

After receiving the ball, he quickly turned, dribbled, knocked his right foot, flashed a gap and fired a left-footed shot from the top of the penalty area, the ball drilled through the gap between the two central defenders, and finally deflected off the post.

"Torres, shoot ~~~", Peterson shouted, "Seven minutes into the game, Liverpool had the first shot on goal, and they didn't find any good chances just now"

"Torres was a bit rushed with the ball and Mark was running on his left side, which may also be the reason why they were working together for the first time and didn't have a tacit understanding", McCa felt that the attack was a bit sloppy.

"Jossi, take advantage of the space behind Folberg," he whispered to Benayoun as he walked back.

"Huh?" , He looked up, now that Mark went to play the front line, he had no direct competition with him, he was not so awkward in his heart, "Okay, I'll see later"

Villa kicked the ball wide and this time Karui managed to spot the ball to Abonlaho.

After Liverpool retreated, Villa had no chance to break fast and had to hand it to Ashley Young to take advantage of his breakthrough and cross.

Benayoun and Enrique stepped back to follow Ashley Young, while Mascherano and Mackin also leaned in this direction.

Villa's space on the wing was tightened after a couple of passes, and Ashley Young had no choice but to force a cross.

The ball was confiscated by the outgoing Reina.

Reyna received the ball without delay, Ashley Young barely crossed and fell to the ground, Reyna quickly threw the ball to Enrique, who was already running forward.

"Liverpool quickly threw the ball to attack~", Peterson shouted.

Ashley Young got up and hurried back, Enrique drove the ball into midfield and passed the ball to Alonso in the middle.

Alonso kicked a pass to Gerrard, who cut in, and now Villa have not yet fallen into position, they are all fighting and retreating, and Gerrard rushed forward with the ball and went straight to the Villa penalty area.

"Stop him!" , Martin O'Neill shouted from the sidelines.

Gardner was in hot pursuit, and Riocock on the other side also caught up.

Gerard, who rushed up, the wind is loud!

Villa quickly shrank into Gerrard's impact lane, and when he reached the area of about thirty-five meters, he saw that he had already attracted Villa's defense, and he quickly pushed the arch of his foot in the run.

Mack Qin kept pressing Forberg's back line when Alonso received the ball, and when Gerrard burst through with the ball, he stopped near the line of the penalty area and ran back.

"Alonso received Gerrard's crossing again, Torres was in front, he wanted to ......, no, he passed to Mark who retreated to answer, good opportunity~"

"Woo~~", this is the sound from the stands, as if they saw the prelude to the goal.

"Mark catches the ball, he takes a sideways step, is he going to shoot from distance?" , Peterson shouted.

Of course not, he has successfully pulled out Forberg after the retreat just now, and now Torres is pressed in the penalty area, and Laursen will definitely not be able to fill his gap.

This is a gap that can be easily pulled out by the reverse running position of the two forwards, but whether it can be used depends on the timeliness and accuracy of the pass.

Mackin had just communicated with Benayoun, and he believed that Benayoun knew how to do it!

He lifted his thigh and took a long-range shot, causing Forberg to try to reach for it, but the moment he touched the ball, it suddenly turned into a buckle.

The ball rolled steadily behind him from under Forberg's raised thigh, penalty area!

Then, I had the time to turn around and see if the situation was not what I expected.

A white figure "swished" along the gap between Folberg and Davis, and thrust rapidly.

"Good shot, Mark very hidden kick through, Benayoun goes in ......"

Mack's pass was so comfortable that Benayoun received the ball and only Tyler, the goalkeeper who came to block the near corner, was left in front of him.

Like countless training sessions, he swung his leg sideways, made a small arc, and the ball flew past Taylor's side before he had time to pounce, and plunged headlong into the net......

"goal~al~al, Benayoun opened the scoring for Liverpool, scored with a clever shot", Peterson's passionate tone and the cheers of the whole stadium sounded at the same time.
