Volume 1 Chapter 47 A Ball Shines with a Sword
"Liverpool's attack is more layered, and after Lucas went up, Gerrard was liberated, and after Mascherano retreated, the two sides were also quite resolute," Zhang Lu analyzed.
Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Now the online messages are quite enthusiastic, all about Mackqin, and the fans hope that he will have a good performance."
Zhang Lu smiled: "The mood of the fans is understandable, but Macqin is just 16 years old, I think Benitez is still mainly training him, and it should not become a regular rotation"
Duan Xuan also said: "That's right, the fans still need to be a little patient, Mascherano broke the ball, let's take a look at this attack first"
Netizens suddenly sprayed, you two just blew a wave, and now you have started to save character for him again, being a father and a mother, it's really worrying!
Getting back to the point, Benayoun received the ball, as usual, it was an internal cut, but Arbeloa quickly stepped forward beside him, which immediately reduced his pressure, he took two steps horizontally, watched the opponent's back block it, and pushed the ball to Gerrard.
Birmingham's defensive formation remained very intact, did not give Gerrard space to move forward, he had to return the ball to Benayoun, these few kicks, Birmingham quickly blocked the offensive space on Benayoun's side, Benayoun and Arbeloa fell twice to see that there was no chance, and passed the ball back to Lucas.
Mackin saw the gap on his side just now and kept waving his hand, but I don't know if he didn't see it or didn't trust it, the ball didn't move over, and when he saw Benayoun pass back, Mackin had to follow the recovery to pick up Lucas.
Out of 30 meters, Birmingham doesn't care, whatever you want to reverse, Mackin feels that Birmingham's defensive distance is maintained very well, and after most of the attack, he has adapted to Liverpool's attacking rhythm.
Now the team does not have a good dribbling player on the wing, and there is little hope of breaking the game by individual ability, and now the most reliable crosser on the wing is Enrique, and he has to create some opportunities for him, so that Birmingham can feel a little nervous in order to blow their defensive confidence.
But they are so shrunk on the side that there is no space to sprint, and Makqin thinks of a way, so he habitually retreats to a deep depth to receive the ball, which is his habit of playing in the midfield.
The ball fell a few times in the backfield, and Lucas was a little surprised to see that Mackin was not waiting for the ball on the wing, but still passed the ball to him.
"Makqin retreated to respond, this is a historic moment, his first touch of the ball at the top level, let's see what he will do", Duan Xuan raised his voice for a while, and many domestic fans were also full of expectations.
How? Lao Tzu wants to hang the door!
Just past the centre circle, about 40 metres from goal, Birmingham's midfielder was still a few metres away, and before anyone could react, Mack turned to let the ball go and then a big kick.
As he walked back, he noticed that the Birmingham goalkeeper was also pressing forward, the chances were not particularly good, but it was enough to scare people!
"Hanging doors? Huh? Taylor! Oops, he was lifted out of the beam, and Ma Qin's foot was very sudden, showing his extraordinary view of the overall situation", Duan Xuan looked pity.
"Oh~", a huge exclamation from the stands, followed by thunderous applause.
"Beautiful! I like this kid, for this shot, give everyone a drink", said a fan in the bar holding up his glass......
"Let's take a look at the replay", Duan Xuan continued: "Macqin's foot is very hidden, Birmingham's two backs didn't react, old Taylor occupied a bit forward, fortunately he was more focused, and he took a few steps back to support the general."
Zhang Lu continued: "This goal, Taylor didn't support this one, it really went in, a little bit of a stroke of genius, no one thought that he could hang the door in this position"
Taylor fell a little back pain, gritted his teeth and stood up, and immediately yelled at the midfielder, "Show me that kid, don't let him get up so easily"
Benitez leaned back, and as the ball was lifted, he sighed regretfully, gave Mack Qin a few applause, and shouted to the court: "Just play like this!" β
The lack of entry was expected by Mark, and when he saw the referee pointing to the corner, he immediately ran towards Gerrard.
"That foot was beautiful just now~", Gerald said as he touched the top of his head.
"Steven, how about a corner kick combination"
"Huh? What do you want to do? β
"Play a tactic, I'll pick you up on the edge of the penalty area, you run to the position and prepare to shoot from a distance, see if there is a chance"
Gerald touched his nose, "Okay"
Players on both sides of the penalty area were pushing and pushing for important positions, and Mackin was now outside the box, seeing Gerrard preparing to serve, he immediately accelerated towards the corner flag area.
"Kelly, stop that kid"
Makqin did not stop receiving the ball, his current physique guard ball is too likely to lose the ball, he felt the distance between Kelly and him, and his back to him shook two shoulders in a row, making Kelly think he was going to break through, and when he hesitated, he quickly completed the catch and turn.
These successive actions quickly won the applause of the fans, after all, it looks very chic, and the fans on the scene paid extra attention to him through the foot hanging door just now, this kid's skills are really good!
Mack paused slightly, at this time Gerald had already bypassed him, he just had to push it to Gerald's running route, it sounded simple?
Most of the players would do the same, but Mackin noticed in advance that Birmingham's two midfielders were ready to block Gerrard's possible long-range shot, and they saw through the combination.
Mackin changed his mind in the final moments, feigning a pass to Gerrard, only to make a false kick and then knock the ball on the line with a backheel.
Enrique ran past Kelly like a gust of wind and he finally got the best space and cross of the whole game.
"Good shot!"
The Liverpool TV commentator shouted: "Chance! β
Enrique made a beautiful pass, Voronin in the box and two centre-backs! The fans behind the goal are all on their feet, ready for the upcoming goal!
"Voronin! Header on goal! The ball goes in... Alas~, this goal is actually deflected, this goal is more difficult than to score, he actually deflected the ball off the post, this is Liverpool's best chance in this game! There was a huge regret on Liverpool TV.
"Alas!" The fans in the bar were like they weren't going to score, and they couldn't believe they didn't score...
"Shit, I can go in!"
"Oops, that's a shame!"
Voronin held his head in his hands, unable to believe that he had cleared the ball, he had just wanted to avoid Taylor's save so much that he shook his head a little harder.
Mackin and Gerrard also held their heads in their hands, this ball... It's a pity, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.
"Oh, this person, my brother finally created this opportunity, and he me off~"
"Hey, Sanny, don't shake me~"
Mack felt that Birmingham had taken noticeably more of his attention, just like this time, Mark was chasing him to the midfield by Kelly and pushing him to the ground.
"Toot ~"
"Shh~, shit, you coward~", nearby fans yelled at Kelly.
"He's faking a fall, referee, I just gently put on his shoulder, he's too thin", Kelly defended to the referee who ran over with an innocent gesture.
"It's the third time", the referee held out three fingers, "don't challenge my eyes", and showed a yellow card.
Mark shrugged his shoulders without much excuse.
Benitez was originally going to replace Voronin, but seeing that he wasted such a good opportunity, he couldn't change it, which would hit his confidence and easily create contradictions.
"Ma Qin has played really well in the past ten minutes, he has no stage fright at all, he dares to make moves, and he has organized two attacks," Duan Xuan said.
Zhang Lu cooperated: "After the substitution, Liverpool's offensive gradually picked up, Enrique and Arbeloa were active on both sides, and Mackin had a large range of activities and was not limited to the left side."
"Bruce is a little anxious, Liverpool's attacks are very threatening, Gerrard's long-range shot just now almost broke the goal, he has run to the sidelines, see if there are any substitutions, just now they have replaced two new forces"
With about ten minutes to go, Birmingham were a little shaky on these occasions, but they were stubborn enough to hold on, and just now left wing-back Frank took the initiative to apply for a yellow card, and he fiercely tackled Benayoun.
"Frank is known as the evil sweat of the Premier League, his movements are fierce, Gerrard is ready to take this free kick, this goal is a bit off", Duan Xuan explained the situation at the scene.
There are too many people in the penalty area, the Birmingham head coach can't wait to stuff himself in, and Mack Qin has no good way to break the three magic weapons of the iron bucket formation: Shenfeng, long-range shooting and luck, and they can only rely on luck to remove the Shenfeng that they don't have on the field now.
Gerrard's free-kick was struck by Taylor's one-on-one punch and Lucas struggled to tip the ball to Macklin, who in turn fed it back to the trailing Mascherano.
To reorganize the attack, we must not rush now, once we lose the ball, Birmingham will definitely use all kinds of means to delay time.
Mackin retreated to receive the ball again, he came back and strengthened the control of the midfield with Lucas, so that Gerrard did not have to retreat all the time, and a few kicks with the horse were reversed, Liverpool rearranged the attacking formation, and Lucas pushed the ball forward to Gerrard.
In Liverpool's first few attacks, Gerrard usually turned around and distributed to Benayoun's side, but this time Mackin uncharacteristically did not go to the side to respond, but directly accelerated the attack from the middle.
Gerrard took the ball with his back, saw Mackin burst in from the other side, and knocked the ball back to him, at this time Gerrard pulled out one of the opponent's midfielders, and the other was preparing to block Mackin, and there was a brief gap between the midfielder and the defender.
He took the step and tucked the ball into the space behind Gerrard, where Benayoun had already slotted diagonally before the midfielders and the returning strikers flicked in.
Benayoun took the ball and took a few steps to the middle, okay, Mack, Gerrard, Benayoun are almost together, judging from the live broadcast, a circle of blue surrounded by three reds.
"Benayoun is a little too much for this goal", indeed, he has been close to the opposing defender, he was going to pull out the gap or shoot from a distance, but unfortunately there was no chance, and he could only return the ball to the nearby Mackin when he was about to make a mistake.
A beating elf flickered up, crossed the back line and fell to the bottom line of the penalty area, and Arbelloa successfully countered offside!
This kind of dense effect of personnel finally allowed the Birmingham back line to block the football by inertia, so that it leaked out of the wing.
Arbeloa didn't stop the ball and swept directly to the falling ball, the ball grazed past Frank's feet and flew straight into the small penalty area, Voronin had already thrown himself out, ready to grab the point to shoot.
It's a pity that his luck today is really not good, one foot touched the ball one step ahead of him, it was the Birmingham defender who chased back in place, but the time was too rushed, he couldn't control his footwork, the ball was not cleared out of the bottom line, but grazed his foot and flew directly.
After Mackin passed the ball, all the players' attention was drawn to the penalty area, there was Gerrard, Benayoun, Mackin did not stand and watch, but quickly went around to the back post.
The sense of smell is something that can't be said, he just instinctively fills the empty space of his side's attack, so when the ball is cushioned over the heads of countless people in the small penalty area and falls backwards.
Makqin slapped his horse to arrive, picked up his left leg on the corner of the small penalty area, and met the high-speed spinning ball with a volley!
Electrically flashing, no one could react at all, so he didn't hear anyone say anything, and he didn't notice whether Taylor had a frightened look in his eyes, it was just a kick that burst directly.
Draw to despair, kick to fear, kick away fate!
In a very short period of time, the ball hit the net like a white light directly from the upper corner of the goal and grazed the post, setting off a white wave high, which was the beautiful end, that was the beginning of passion.
