Fast forward to October, Liverpool host Marseille in a game that could not be missed, and Benitez gave an interview before the game to talk about the squad.

'It's been a tough period for us, not only the fixtures are intensive, we've lost important players, Agg was a little bit unwell in training the other day, so we need to do our best to stay fit'

'For Marc, every step of the way is making history, he's played two games, a goal and two assists, and now he's fit, I can't think of any reason why I shouldn't take him, as for whether he can play or not, it depends on the situation'

Before the game, Sky Sports' Peterson also highlighted Mackin on the show, with the veteran sports commentator saying,

'There is no doubt that Mark is ready to set a new record, he is too young, he just broke the record for the youngest player to score in the Premier League a week ago, in today's game we have to see if he has a chance to break the record for the youngest player to score in the Champions League, the record for the youngest player to score in the Champions League is definitely not the same, Barbayaro in 1994 was only a dozen days younger than him, alas"

Another highlight of this game is that Liverpool's old players Cendon and Cisse will face their old clubs, and Cisse did not expect that he would be able to return to Anfield after only more than two months.

Before the game, the whole Liverpool team seemed to be very relaxed, two consecutive wins in the league and cup competitions allowed them to remove the burden of the first draw and the absence of the core, in this kind of dense schedule, once a draw or consecutive defeats, it is easy to collapse the team in just a few weeks, lose a season, and this is also the time when the players' mental pressure is the highest.

In China, CCTV and online platforms will broadcast this game live, King Dong has never had a chance to play, Sun Jihai's Manchester City does not have the Champions League, and Mackin is the only seedling.

The promotional video has already been played: let's look forward to and witness the birth of the record goal of the youngest player in the Champions League, so even though it is early in the morning, I believe that there will be no shortage of viewers in front of the TV.

Now the football environment is not the rhythm of the little demon blowing into the sky ten years later, a young player, if he has not played continuously in the big competition, the media will not crown the player with a new football star, supernova and the like because of a record.

But if Mackin can perform in this game, then at least the title of a rising star in football will not be able to run, and he will begin to accumulate fame on the European continent, breaking the record of two youngest goals in a row, not for fun.

Mackin didn't have any thoughts about starting the game this game, just kidding, unless he daydreamed and the bald man met him in a dream, and he was not satisfied with being able to mix up as a substitute to experience the continental game.

Liverpool's starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Enrique, Skrtel, Carragher, Finnen

Midfielders: Benayoun, Mascherano, Gerrard, Kuyt

Forwards: Voronin, Torres

Subs: Itanji, Hyypia, Arbeloa, Lucas, Mackqin, Zhar, Crouch

Ager's absence made the 3421 formation expected by Benitez die, and it is still immature, and the weak team can be tested, this kind of game is still safe, and now Liverpool is really not qualified to play in this Champions League group.

The line-up of Mackqin fans was the strongest ever, and Emin pulled a large slogan with the slogan "This is Anfield-Mark Support Group", and gathered more than 200 people, mostly students, but also some office workers and the elderly.

Peter and Marco were startled when they saw them outside the stadium and circled them twice before they confirmed that it was not an illegal assembly, and the most awesome thing was that they had bought the tickets together through various connections.

And according to the fat deputy head of the pizza parzzeria in his 40s, they also have to officially register with the club and book a home season ticket for one stand.

"Oh my God~", Peter and Marco looked confused and speechless.

In the best position of the VIP seat, there is a couple and a pair of young and beautiful children, especially the daughter, with very different silver-gray long hair, fluttering like a fairy~

"Cher, the Mark you're talking about is the 18th just now?"

"Well, yes, Mom"

It is impossible to hide this kind of thing in a family like theirs, and this concept is not unique to China, and as soon as the Madles and their husbands knew about it, they put down all their work to see this lucky boy.

"Sister, he's just as old as me, you can really do it~", the hairy kid next to him is wearing a hip-hop outfit, just two earrings!

"Charlie, shut up"

"Gloro~", Charlie grimaced at Isabella.

"Mom, look at my brother~", she shook Mrs. Maddles's arm.

"Don't make a fuss, look good," said Mr. Maddles, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the three of them were silent as soon as they spoke.

Julie, CCTV on-site editors and reporters, and the text editor of a certain wave and a certain news, respectively, sat in the partition of the live broadcast seat, and Julie tried her best to mix up a place as a live broadcast host assistant, and Ma Qin was her new hope both inside and outside the venue.

Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi sat in the box, watching the live broadcast, they didn't feel good in their hearts, they were jealous, he was only 16 years old and could get into the Champions League, which is the ultimate dream of all players except for the World Cup.

Life is full of situations, there is no time to pay attention, Mack Qin and they sit quietly on the bench, waiting for the game to start, Lucas, Zhar, the three Champions League rookies are waiting to rewrite their career trajectory, and even fate.

"Toot", the game begins.

In the CCTV broadcast studio, it was still Duan Xuan and Zhang Lu, Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Director Zhang, I think the biggest expectation of domestic fans today is to see if Ma Qin can break the record again."

"That's right, the domestic fans are looking forward to it, no one expected a 16-year-old Asian to play so well in the top European arena, which greatly surprised everyone."

"Let's watch the game first, Liverpool discharged 442 ...... today"

Gerrard rested for a week, and just opened the game with a long-range shot from 35 meters away, announcing Liverpool's attitude today: Attack!

Almost all of the midfielders have abundant physical energy, Voronin, Gerrard, and Kuyt are crazy in the midfield, and Marseille can't pass the half.

However, Marseille's established strategy for this game was to focus on defense and wait for opportunities to sneak attack, so the current situation did not panic them, and they retreated to the front of the penalty area to compress the space.

Liverpool relied on the home advantage and momentum, and then suppressed Marseille in the opening, and even striker Niang retreated to the center circle to help defend, Anfield has always been the devil's home of each team, and the sound and singing created by the whole stadium can shock any away team player and stir up the blood of the Reds.

"Benayoun receives the ball on the wing, chooses to cut inside, Cendon comes up, let's see the duel between the old and new Reds wingers, Maika, what do you think of Liverpool now", Pitter commented on the game in the studio.

McManaman sat next to him, and he was invited as a guest commentator today, as a former Liverpool legend, his guest career after retirement was as professional as his game.

"Liverpool have changed a lot this year, they have changed almost half of their team in the summer, and from my point of view, their style of play is still not formed, and I believe Benitez is still figuring it out, especially since they have recently lost their midfield commander Alonso"

Benayoun didn't find a chance just now, and after a few horizontal passes, Liverpool continued to organize, and Maika continued to comment: "I think Benayoun is the most important signing for Liverpool this year, I'm not saying that other people are not important, but Benayoun's arrival has solved Liverpool's stubborn side problems to a certain extent."

Peterson was a little surprised, "Oh? Isn't it Torres? ”

McCa continued: "Of course, Torres is a world-class striker and he proved it, but in terms of tactical integrity, the two most important people on the pitch are Alonso and Benayoun"

Peterson brought the topic back to the pitch, and Liverpool's attack ended in a failed cross, "McCa, what do you think of Liverpool's performance in the past 20 minutes today?" ”

'Today we need to look mainly at Gerrard and Benayoun and Enrique, in the absence of Alonso they need to share the organisation and the assault of the team, Marseille are not an easy opponent and they have been very well organised defensively from the start of the game'

As he spoke, Marseille intercepted Benayoun's through ball to Torres in front of the penalty area, and three passes and two downs avoided Liverpool's front-court counter-attack, and Niang got the ball on Liverpool's left wing, and Enrique didn't have time to get back into place.

"Oh~", there was a huge exclamation in the stadium.

Niang used his speed on the wing to shake off the filling Skrtel and sent a powerful cross, the ball slid past the goal, but fortunately Valbrena was a step late, otherwise it would have allowed Marseille to score.

Benitezten stood up from the dugout and hurried to the sidelines, gesturing to Benayoun and Enrique.

The left side is the strong point of Liverpool's attack and the weak point of defense, and Benayoun's weak defensive recovery ability and Enrique's frequent forward insertion make Liverpool's left gap more obvious.

Marseille won 2-0 against Besiktas last time out, and Liverpool were held to a draw by Porto in their first game.

"Sister, why doesn't that little boyfriend of yours show up yet?" Charlie in the VIP seat asked Isabella impatiently, he likes Real Madrid and really has no interest in Liverpool.

"He's bigger than you, what is the size of your little brat?"

"I don't care about you, old lady"

"Just take care of yourself and watch the game", in fact, she couldn't understand it at all, but the focused figure on the bench kept supporting her to sit here.

It is estimated that he did not look at his phone before the game, and Isabella did not get a reply to his text messages, and I don't know if he has any opinion on himself bringing his parents to see him, she is a little apprehensive.

Mackin didn't know anything about the situation of Emin and Isabella, and even if he did, he didn't have time to take care of it, and he developed a good habit this season, as long as he wasn't playing, he would focus on analysing Liverpool's style of play in the stands or on the bench.

To be honest, if he were Benitez, he would have replaced Voronin with Crouch, his performance in the past twenty minutes has been a disaster, and Crouch still has a certain ability to carry the ball and fulcrum.

Voronin is really only suitable for breaking forward, and his technical ability is average, a player like him is more suitable for middle and lower teams, a simple style of play is more conducive to his play, and his weaknesses will be infinitely magnified in the giants.

He has the impression that although Marseille has always been a strong team in Ligue 1, in the Champions League, the gap with the strong teams in the other four major leagues is still obvious.

But today on the sidelines, he didn't feel Liverpool's advantage, and even Marseille was good in some small techniques, with his current level of experience and technical and tactical level, he couldn't understand the competition for the rhythm of the pitch brought about by this difference in league style.

Players who are new to a league usually adapt to the league are adapting to this rhythm, and no one can explain how the rhythm of a league is formed, it contains too many factors.

Just like the beat of music, a player is a note, too high-pitched or too low can seem out of place, most notably Arsenal, whose style of play in the Premier League has been greatly reduced in Europe.

The main factor is that it has abandoned the most striking feature of the Premier League: the impact style of play. The old man, Mu Bird, and Bei Bald all fused their own tactical play with this British style, while Professor Wen was a thorough reformer and perfectionist.

He is very similar to Pep Guardiola, but in the end the difference in their fates is because Guardiola will always have a much better hand than Arsene Wenger.

In the torrent of this revolution in football skills and tactics, Ma Keqin is still learning and understanding, and even has to crawl and roll to be able to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.
