Mandanda looked busy today, but Liverpool's shots from inside the woodwork were actually few and far between.

Space, or space!

If you rank the four giants this season, the impact of the opponent's compression space on the team should be Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal.

Arsenal's excellent small-range combination coupled with Cesc Fabregas, who came out of nowhere like the Heavenly Sword, has the least need for space, and what they lack is a lack of domineering.

Manchester United and Chelsea actually play no different in nature, they are all crazy to attack the wings with world-class wingers, but Manchester United is good at arranging on the wings, and Chelsea is good at defending and counter-attacking.

Liverpool, on the contrary, is in the most chaotic state, Benitez has been in charge for three years, and it can be said that the technical and tactical transformation is only half completed, because he racks his brains every year to build the team.

Let's return our eyes to the field, Torres just barely dodged the gap and hit the goal, there was no threat, it was easily confiscated by Mandanda, and today Marseille watched him very closely, with a top defense in front and a pinch attack.

Marseille have certainly studied the recent Liverpool games, with Fernando Torres on a hot streak in recent games and a chance to change the game and he is on his way to superstardom.

Thirty minutes into the game, Liverpool got nothing but a yellow card from Steven Gerrard, Marseille's counter-attack was like a fish in the throat, and Gerrard brought down his former teammate Cendon when he chased back and got a warning card.

McManaman commented: "Gerrard's recent form has been a bit sluggish, Gerrard has taken on too many tasks after Alonso's injury, Marseille didn't leak any obvious holes today, Liverpool are going to break down the door for Marseille, Gerrard has to step up'"

Indeed, of the four midfielders today, only Gerrard is reliable for long-range shots, and the midfielder's attack is not strong, and Marseille will be more confident to shrink into the penalty area.

After a long period of attack, the scene slowly fell silent, Benitez has not returned since he left the coach's box, he scratches his hair anxiously from time to time, and the scene has always given him a bad feeling.

Coaches have their own hunches about the game, and if their team is playing smoothly or not, they can often feel it first-hand, and Benitez doesn't feel very good.

Liverpool didn't play their rhythm!

Open and close, this is Liverpool's usual rhythm in recent years, not complicated, meaningless short passes are few, scheduling, non-stop scheduling, but today, all of them are gone, and they are stuck in the quagmire woven by Marseille.

E. Geret sat firmly in the dugout, and the absence of Nasri, the team's playmaker, made him more determined to line up the 451 formation to strangle the midfield and defend the counter-attack at Anfield, and he was satisfied with it for the past 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, several people on the Liverpool bench got up one after another to warm up on the sidelines in order to prevent their bodies from getting too cold.

The domestic audience who stayed in front of the TV in the middle of the night came to the spirit, "Want to be replaced? Is Makqin playing? ”

Duan Xuan glanced at the online platform and said with a smile: "Mark Qin has warmed up, but some viewers may not know that this is a routine warm-up, not to play"

Zhang Lu also smiled on the side: "It seems that some fans can't wait, and now both sides of the game have made no achievements, which is a bit dull."

"Zhang instructs you to analyze why Liverpool have been unable to break through the door of Marseille for a long time"

"This Marseille is not a weak team, it is also a strong team in France, today Benayoun, Torres, Gerrard The three main offensive points are a little fragmented, and they can't cooperate"

"Yes, we see that although Liverpool is playing with a lot of momentum, it is a little thunderous and rainy"

"That's right, it's a bit of a separate battle, which shows that Marseille's defense is very good, and Liverpool will have a hard time playing like this"

As if to fulfill this sentence, until the end of the first half, Liverpool did not score, Mackin returned to the dressing room with the main players, and heard a room of whirring gasps.

Tired, very tired.

Gerard grunted with a sports drink, Carragher wiped his sweat and shook the towel, "This Marseille is guarded like a turtle shell"

"Alas~, comfortable", Gerrard breathed a sigh of relief, "In the second half, we had to strengthen our long-range shots, and it was difficult for them to score in the penalty area"

Before he could finish speaking, Benitez came in, and the first thing he said was: "In the second half, Crouch you replace Voronin and help Fernando and Steven do a good job"

Mackin glanced at Voronin, he lowered his head, he couldn't see joy and anger, although a veteran who is almost 30 will not be as impulsive as a young player, but it is estimated that it is inevitable to be unhappy, and this substitution is as if the main responsibility in the first half is him.

Benitez didn't pay attention or didn't expect this at all, arranging his own tactics, with the support of the two major gangs of home and Spain, Benitez really didn't need some single gangs that were not powerful, and Gerald patted Voronin on the shoulder to show comfort.

After Crouch went up in the second half, Liverpool's attack really improved a little, this bamboo pole don't look thin, it's okay to hold the ball with his back, Torres and Gerrard each had a shot that threatened the goal of Mandanda's handle.

Catching Gerrard's long-range shot, Mandanda drove forward with a big foot, and Mascherano was born world-class in the midfield position, and he pushed Niang to push the ball back.

It may be that his height affects his balance, he unconsciously raised his arm when he jumped up, hit Niang's head, Niang covered his head and fell, the referee immediately ran over and stopped the game without hesitation, and gave the horse a topaz card.

The two Liverpool midfielders were both hit, and Mascherano was still arguing with the referee, who shook his head and blew the whistle to resume the game.

Zenden pushed to the inserted full-back Ziani, Ziani hit the back of Enrique with a cross overhead, Egere arranged it at half-time, and when he had the opportunity, he resolutely hit Enrique, and Niang relied on his speed to receive the ball on the sideline of the penalty area.

Immediately after receiving the ball, it was a cross, Skrtel stretched his leg and didn't block it, the ball passed a bit arc, Valbrena inserted a header to grab the point, Carragher in addition to his height, he is completely a template for a top central defender, this ball, he lost in height.

Carragher jumped on the spot, Valbrena rushed to the top, the ball was very flat and urgent, the quality was very high, he grabbed the ball in front of Carragher and put the ball into the net!

It was the first time in the whole game that Marseille hit the woodwork and scored, and football is sometimes so dramatic, the Marseille players were very excited and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.

Carragher was a little annoyed, just now Valbrena rushed from the side and back, the ball speed was too fast, he didn't get stuck in time, Reina stood up and kicked the ball to the midfield, this ball was lost, it was really frustrating~

Benitez scratched his head, he was really worried about what was coming, he subconsciously looked back at the bench, thinking about how to change it, no one's pain believes that every coach hates it, that means that all your tricks may be seen through by the other party.

"Oops", Duan Xuan said in the studio, "Liverpool was attacked by a sneak attack, this ball~"

Anfield's lively singing for 60 minutes was a little silent, and the most depressing thing was to watch the other party beat him for a long time, and was knocked to the ground by the other party's cold hook punch, and the people who were holding back were extremely depressed.

The game restarted, and a few minutes later Benitez watched Liverpool's still ineffective attack, finally decided to give it a go, waving Lucas and Mackin for him.

The domestic fans who watched for most of the night finally saw the dawn, "Makqin is ready to play", Duan Xuan said excitedly, "He will be another Chinese after Sun Xiang to appear in the Champions League."

McManaman commented: "Benitez is ready to give it a go, the situation is tough for Liverpool right now, and if Marseille win two in a row, then the situation in the group will be very bad for Liverpool"

Peterson answered: "What do you think about Lucas and Mark who came on the pitch?"

'Lucas has already become famous at a young age, his problem is to adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible, about Mark, I went back to Liverpool, a lot of people think highly of him, we haven't met him yet, he's still very young, I hope he can grow up smoothly, too much praise will make young players lose because they are not psychologically mature"

Sixty-eight minutes into the game, Lucas replaced Finnan, Mackin replaced Kuyt, Benitez arranged for him to play as a right winger, I don't know where he got so bold, he has never played this position in the team's training.

"Sister, your boyfriend has appeared......

The Mark support group raised a huge banner, and Emin and the fat boss led the team with a megaphone and shouted the slogan, "Mark Mark, invincible!" Mark Mark, invincible! ”

What a rotten slogan!

Fortunately, Mark Qin couldn't hear it, otherwise he would have been scared.

There was no time to lament his Champions League debut, Liverpool's attack was too fast and he had to get into the rhythm right away to help the team equalise.

After Gerrard received Benayoun on the left, a big foot transferred the ball to Mackqin's side, and the left side was too tightly defended by Marseille, and they all knew that Benayoun and Enrique were strong in attack.

Mackin stopped the ball with his chest, and the opponent's left full-back and left midfielder were already surrounded, they were not familiar with Mackqin, and they didn't dare to pounce too hard at first.

He stopped at a 45-degree angle, there was no right wing-back on his side, it was too easy to lose the ball if he wanted to break through, and he glanced at the penalty area, and the mentality of these teammates was really anxious.

Except for Lucas in the back, there was no one who came to pick up and cooperate, and they were all ready to grab points in the penalty area.

He didn't have much to do, so he had to cross the ball from 45 degrees, and he had practiced free kicks in recent years, and this helpless cross made him pass the taste of Beck's arc.

"What a ball~"

"Beautiful~"

The ball went around the outstretched foot of the opponent's left wing-back, and spried between the goalkeeper and the central defender, the ball seemed to be headed towards the goalkeeper, but there was a very fast internal spin, and it quickly moved away in the small penalty area, Mandanda was about to intercept, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he quickly retreated.

"Torres~, rush to shoot~", countless commentators on the live broadcast platform instantly raised their voices, only to see Torres kick out from behind Marseille central defender Givet and put his foot on the ball.

The fans behind the goal jumped up with a bang and were ready to cheer, and as soon as their hands were halfway up, they found that the ball fluttered over the crossbar and fell behind the net.

"Oh~", a huge sigh.

Torres slapped the lawn hard in annoyance, got up and gave a thumbs up to the retreating Mackqin, just now the ball Macqin passed too much, Torres originally wanted to pad into the goal, but he didn't expect to spin so fast, a little bit of footwork, the ball rubbed against the bare foot and bounced upward.

The ball was so startled that Ejere got up from the dugout, and he quickly walked to the sideline and shouted at the left wing-back Cana, "Look at him, don't give him space to cross!" ”

"As soon as Macqin came on the court, he didn't relent, and immediately instigated a very threatening attack, but unfortunately Torres didn't take the opportunity," Duan Xuan said with a little regret.

Zhang Lu continued: "Torres was not very well prepared for the ball, he didn't expect Mack Qin to pass the ball"

"Ma Four-eyed Cow Pen", the Internet forum suddenly became lively

"Upstairs, the level of your nickname has a fight with my athlete's foot."

"It's called Maham, this Pei arc is so riotous"

"Then it's better to call it Madane~"

"Motors? Haha"

"Upstairs, my heart is broken~"

It was in these noisy and somewhat crowded situations that he began his Champions League debut.
