Chapter 631: Sneijder who dominates the half
Jamie Vardy's fitness has not been good since the end of the Club World Cup, and he has been playing for the team in a row, and with jet lag, he has not been in good form in training.
In Credrick's assessment, Vardy is likely to be injured, not to mention whether he performs well or not.
Zhang Yang can only rest Vardy.
In the game around Christmas, Suarez did well, scoring two goals.
It also puts pressure on Vardy.
After more than two seasons at Millwall, Vardy grew rapidly, starting with Darren Bent as a substitute, when Vardy was still a newcomer, and Darren Bent was a big star for him who could not even think of it.
With Darren Bent leaving to join Tottenham Hotspur last summer, Vardy has become an absolute mainstay, and even the arrival of Luka Toney can't shake his leading scorer position.
In this process, Vardy is also very clear about one thing: in the whole team, only the head coach Zhang Yang is the most important, and everyone else is not important, they are all dispensable, including himself, even if he is already the leading scorer, the league and the Champions League occupy the top scorer list, but wasn't that the case last season?
The player who dominated the two lists at the time was Darren Bent, who also gained huge popularity and was considered the top scorer in the world, and then what? With Darren Bent leaving, it's hard to hear in the media, even if he's doing well and is Tottenham's leading goalscorer...... So what?
It's the same with Millwall now.
Jamie Vardy is the leading goalscorer, but he doesn't feel like he's great, he feels a lot of competitive pressure, and he knows one thing: if he leaves Millwall, he won't be any different from Darren Bent, and it won't make a difference, because Suarez has grown up enough to take his place.
That's where the pressure comes on Vardy.
When he is available for the team, Vardy can't wait to play and he needs a good performance to maintain his position.
After finally helping to score a goal, Vardy was still quite excited, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief, he was worried that his performance was not good, and he was slowly being replaced by other team-mates.
The competitive pressure in the team is still very high.
ββββ
After Vardy's goal, Millwall continued to maintain the attacking pressure on Liverpool, but Liverpool's defense was good and the backfield was tight, and Millwall couldn't find a chance.
It was a great game.
Liverpool don't just defend, they can occasionally play beautiful counter-attacks and pose a threat to Millwall's defence.
From this point of view, you can see the difference between big clubs and small clubs, those small clubs that have been suppressed by Millwall, after they have been suppressed by Millwall, it is very difficult to rely on counterattacks to threaten Millwall, but Liverpool is focused on defense, and pushing and counterattacking can still create a threat.
The biggest contributor was Gerrard.
Gerrard is the core of the squad, but also the captain on the field, is the spiritual leader of Liverpool, his feet are outstanding, his body is extremely strong, and the most commendable thing is that he has a spirit of never giving up, and when he comes to the game, he will give his all to run and fight, Liverpool often plays reversed games, and Gerrard's fighting spirit and dedication are inseparable.
A player like Steven Gerrard is something every manager would want to have.
Looking at Gerrard's performance on the field, Zhang Yang couldn't help but be tempted, hoping that there would be such a player in the team, but it doesn't matter if you think about it carefully, there are Morris in the team, there is Blaniff, and young Sneijder, Sneijder will be the core of the future, Blaniff can also play for many years, and it is not easy to add a midfield core player.
Gerrard not only plays a big role in attack, but also plays a greater role in defense, he constantly runs personally, reminds his teammates to stand, defend, and organizes defensive formations at the back, which also makes Liverpool's defense more solid.
Millwall couldn't find any more chances in the first half.
After the start of the second half, Zhang Yang couldn't help it anymore and found a chance to help the team take the lead.
This time it was Pire's cross, Sneijder followed up and pressed the penalty line to play a 'drift', the ball failed to hit the force, and it was supposed to be taken into the arms of the opposing goalkeeper Reina, but with the blessing of 'walking the word', the situation is different.
Sneijder felt he was in great shape as he swept the ball straight behind the ball and slid it straight past the Liverpool defender in front of him and into the bottom left corner of the net.
Reyna did his best to make a save, but in the end he couldn't touch the ball.
βGOOOAL!!β
"Sneijder! The Dutch star shot hard enough to give Millwall the lead over Liverpool! β
Seeing Sneijder finish the goal, everyone else rushed out frantically, but Zhang Yang returned to his position, taking a long breath and not worrying too much about the game.
In such an advantageous situation, the lead score is not yet able to win, and he really has no good way.
ββββ
Liverpool are starting to get anxious.
They didn't want to lose to Millwall, even away from home, and it was better to be able to win, but the situation was not good when they started the second half, and they have been adopting a passive strategy that has not shown results.
What now?
Liverpool are also thinking about this in their constant defense.
On the coach's bench.
Benitez was also thinking about the fact that the game on the pitch made him feel helpless, Millwall's attack was too strong, with Jamie Vardy up front and Sneijder in the midfield, the two worked together to make the attack very technical, in addition, their defense was also very solid, and Liverpool occasionally had counter-attacking opportunities, and it was difficult to play a substantial threat.
Benitez's biggest headache is that Millwall's players are too efficient, they seem to find an opportunity to score the ball, just now there are two players in front of Sneijder, plus goalkeeper Reina, in the face of three people can score the ball, the Dutchman is too good.
"This is what the media calls Millwall, who is not in good shape?" Benitez smiled bitterly in his heart, complaining that the media was too unreliable, but there was nothing good to do about the situation on the field.
Liverpool got off to a pretty good start, scoring in the opening game and then defending patiently, which was the best way to deal with it.
Now that Millwall is overtaking the score, what else can be done?
Do you want the team to attack?
As soon as this idea turned in his mind, he was abandoned by Benitez, Liverpool is not a team that is good at playing against the attack, even if there is the Spanish golden boy Torres, the efficiency gap with Millwall is very large, it is impractical to attack, maybe the only thing to do is to invest more in the attack.
To attack, you have to sacrifice defense.
When Liverpool stepped up the attack slightly, Millwall quickly used the threat of the penalty area to create a chance, Sneijder was on the periphery of the penalty area, to shake off the defenders, and was put to the ground by the opposing defender, Sneijder stood up and stretched his arms twice, and jumped a few times on the spot, and found that there was no problem, and Millwall made a normal free throw.
This time it was also Sneijder who was in charge of the free throws.
The football is about twenty-five meters away from the goal, the distance is still a little far, seeing that it was Sneijder's free throw, many players subconsciously felt that Millwall was going to play a wave of cooperation, Millwall's most impressive penalty taker is undoubtedly Simpson, who is considered the successor of England team Beckham.
The rest of Millwall's players also made contention moves, but Sneijder opted for a direct shot on goal.
He kicked a high arc.
The ball flew to the highest point, spun and fell straight into the far corner, Reyna made a judgment, but when he jumped up, he found that his hands could not reach the ball, and in his surprise he could only watch the ball fall into the goal.
3 to 1!
Millwall extends the lead!
The Millwall fans cheered on the goal, mixed with shouts of 'Sneijder'' by his name, and Sneijder was the best performer so far into the game, scoring two goals to dominate the second half.
Snead was also very happy.
In the Millwall team, the competitive pressure is very high, there are Morris in the middle of the midfield, there are Braniff, as well as Livermore, Ljungberg and other players, until now he does not dare to say that he has the main position, because in many games, the appearance is rotated, especially in the big game, the head coach is more willing to trust Morris, Braniff and other players.
Sneijder can also understand that his team-mates are doing well, but he also wants his performances to be better and more consistent in his position in the team.
To score two goals in a row now is a huge help to him.
This game is also very crucial!
When the media reported that Millwall broke their all-time unbeaten run after the game, his name would definitely be mentioned, and the thought of this made Sneijder even more excited.
