Volume 2 Chapter 22 Brazenly Draw the Sword
"I don't seem to be too excited about Makeqin's performance today," Zhan Jun said after watching Makeqin shoot over the crossbar.
Twenty minutes passed before the game passed, and Liverpool had the ball, but it was difficult to get into the box.
"Hey, Mark, you don't seem to be out of shape today?" , while Manchester City goalkeeper Hart went to pick up the ball, Kuyt said to him when he returned to the field.
The two of them cooperated more in training, and usually gave him the ball in front of the penalty area, and Mackqin's shot would not be so high even if he didn't score......
"Well, it seems that I suddenly feel that the ball is very unfamiliar, I don't know if it's because the weather is too cold", Ma Qin was also worried.
In these 20 minutes, they dominated the ball at the back, but the efficiency of the two wingers was really not high.
He stops the ball, dribbles, shoots, and when he moves, he doesn't feel like he's on point, and his body is always slow.
The slower you are, the more anxious you are, and the more anxious you are, the more you want to exert your strength, but the result is counterproductive.
"Then run and get warm, that's my way, of course, but you can try," Kuyt told him about his experience.
Kuyt's run was really a full-court rush, which reminded him of Firmino, who was later pushed to the center position by Uncle Scum, who was a pseudo-nine player with average finishing ability, but who was particularly outstanding in creating, responding, and playing the ball.
Makqin felt that he really had to change, in the past, he was used to the ball at his feet, or with or passing, and always focused on himself, but now it is obvious that the wind is not smooth, and the hard-won starting opportunity cannot be wasted like this.
Hart kicked the goal, Kuyt, Benayoun, Mackin and Gerrard all pressed to the front court to press, not allowing Manchester City to take the ball comfortably, and Hart drove to the front court with a big foot.
Fresh from injury, Agger played the ball to Mascherano on top of Vassell, and the ball fell a few times between several players at the back, avoiding the pressing of Manchester City's midfield.
Gerrard pulled back a little and received a push from Lucas.
Mackin immediately started to move forward along the touchline, and Gerrard looked sideways into the wing, and a diagonal cross over the top was behind Bol.
Mack ran at full speed and finally stopped the ball near the baseline, and as soon as he stopped, Bol chased back and set up a defensive position on the sideline of the penalty area.
At this time, Kuyt must have outflanked the front point, one is to be able to respond to Ma Qin's push, and the other is that he is small and fast, so he has more advantages in grabbing the front point.
Mack Qin made a feint, did not entangle on the bottom line, took two steps back, and directly handed it to Finnan, who plugged in the answer, he went around a small arc and began to insert diagonally into the ribs along the corner of the big penalty area.
Finnan really pushed sideways and handed it to Gerrard, who had already come to pick it up, Gerrard did not stop the ball, and met the incoming ball during the run, with a pinch of his right foot.
"Good ball, Liverpool made a small combination on the right side, Gerrard passed an over-the-top ......", Zhan Jun suddenly raised his voice, which also means that this attack is threatening.
Mark Qin followed the incoming ball, quickly stepped forward, just made a small arc, he had successfully detoured Bol behind him, in the penalty area, he believed that he would not dare to push people to foul easily.
Gerrard's pass is a bit hard!
It's just not as dexterous as wearing a flower lead, if it's when Mack is in good shape, the ball can definitely be sent to the chest of the receiver, so that the chest stops the ball and connects to the next action.
But Gerrard's pass was a bit straight towards the baseline.
Mack Qin judged it, and ran towards the bottom line quickly, Dunn in the penalty area also came to block him, and when he was close to the bottom line, he kicked the ground with one foot and jumped up hard.
turned his head sideways, turned his forehead to meet the ball, and went to the top of the small penalty area, and then he couldn't ensure his body balance, and fell out of the bottom line when he landed and retreated.
"Mack, header ferry......"
Kuyt hated himself again for being ten centimeters shorter, and Joel Luka's height of 1.92 meters made Kuyt's idea of heading the goal unsuccessful, and directly before Kuyt hit the ball, he pressed him and pushed the ball out of the bottom line.
"Good shot", Benitez slapped loudly on the touchline, encouraging the attack.
Gerrard went over and pulled up the fallen Makqin and patted him on the back, "Good ball, I passed a little too big just now, it's okay"
"It's okay, captain", he got up and patted his butt, ready to go to the corner.
Run! , since the foot wind is not smooth, then bring less passes, and there is no shortage of good passers in the midfield of your team, so you will play according to the point-grabbing winger!
Who is the most famous point-grabbing winger? Of course, it is the president Cristiano Ronaldo who has completely degraded after dribbling to Real Madrid.
Liverpool's general lack of height today did not pose any threat from the corner, and they were pushed out of the box by the air bully Joel Luca, and Liverpool reorganized.
Benitez stood on the sidelines and stood calm, Liverpool had already done their job in these three games, and even if they lost this game, they would be the winter champions.
Because Manchester United, which started first, lost again!
Every year in December and January, the big teams are not in particularly good shape, which is caused by weather, fatigue, and psychological factors.
Liverpool have been happy with the start of December, and the team's form during this period was as expected, such as a hard-fought win over bottom Derby County.
So he asked Sami Lee to practice defending and set-pieces.
"At the back point, Mack Qin rushed to the top, oops, it was high under Pol's marking!" , Zhan Jun said regretfully.
Just now, Liverpool passed a few quick passes on the left side, Aurelio crossed from the side, Mack Qin outflanked to the back point, and he lost his balance a little under the confrontation with Bol.
Mackin gave Aurelio a thumbs up, and as the first half drew to a close, the two teams played a bit tepidly, and it was only thirty minutes before Liverpool had a decent couple of attacks.
"Slap", Benitez slapped in the locker room, "Jossi (Benayoun), switch positions with Makdo in the second half, Steven, step forward a little more resolutely"
The atmosphere in the locker room was a bit dreary, and everyone had a more or less tired feeling.
Benayoun nodded his head in acknowledgement.
"Mark, insert more firmly into the box, and play well in the last fifteen minutes", he turned to Mack Qin and said.
"Got it, boss"
After a few minutes of talking, Benitez let them rest and now there is no problem in terms of tactics, it depends on whether they can score.
When the time was almost up, Mackqin and Lucas walked back to the court, "This damn weather, my balls are almost frozen", Lucas spat out a rare swear word.
"Hey", Makqin smiled, "Think of the beaches and beauties of Brazil~"
This kid has had to adapt to the British weather in his first year, so it's no wonder that so many South American players don't like to stay in the UK.
"If I want to win this year, I'll have to go back and take a good vacation in the summer," Lucas said.
"Fans and friends, let's see that the players have walked out of the passage to see if the second half can be more exciting, the first half may be due to the weather, the scene is a little dull", Zhan Jun's voice sounded again.
"It's not decided, I can book a ticket", in a small discussion group opened by the domestic MKQ18 group, a message called Winter Nuanyang said.
"It's decided, I've booked my ticket to the magic capital," someone replied.
This is the "Liverpool pilgrimage group" organized by Liu Qi and Song Ziqi for a while, most of them are students, some office workers, a total of more than 20 people.
"Can you get in touch with Mackin and I want an autographed jersey," someone said.
"When I get there, I'm sure I'll be able to find out where he lives, there are signs floating on his house, and the thief is eye-catching!" , the warm winter sun replied.
"Shhh......h
Mackin switched to the left wing at the beginning of the second half, just now he received the ball on the side, a gear play played too hard Richardson, this black man turned and pushed Mackin who wanted to break through the touchline.
He was not the Prince of the Etihad, and seeing him play with the young talents of the team like this, there were already away fans who booed him because of England's defeat, and the stadium was suddenly booed.
Richardson wants to say that he is still a national team teammate, and he doesn't give him any face, and the national team of Western immigrant countries like this has always had racial problems, such as the Tulip Dutch team.
Richardson was black and strong, and it was a little uncomfortable to meet Mackchen, who was more flexible than Benayoun.
Within a few minutes, it was Marken who received the ball on the side again, and Richardson's frizziness still did not change, and he was directly erased by him alone.
Richardson was furious, turned around and threw a shovel behind his back......
Mackin saved him with a keen instinct, felt that something was wrong, and the ball was gone, and immediately jumped up on both legs, but he was still brought down, and with a loud "ah", he rolled out along the sideline......
I'm Nyima!
On the pitch he is rarely provoked to anger, and Richardson is a complete revenge tackle!
It's trying to scrap his legs!
"Oh~", a huge exclamation sounded from the stands, and the nearby players immediately ran to the place where the incident occurred.
Mark is so angry that he is diligent, it is not easy for Lao Tzu to stand on the green field, if you shovel this foot, he will let me go back to the pre-liberation period!
He turned and got up, and in a fit of rage rushed at Richardson, who got up before him, and tried to make a deliberately fierce face to scare him.
I'm going to Nima's!
This black guy is 1.8 meters, and now Mark Qin is about 1.75 meters, and he didn't give him time to react at all, so he ran to the front and put his hand behind his back to Richardson's mouth.
This lustful and inward-looking baby originally came to see Mark Qin with his hands behind his back, thinking that he was going to spray a few words with each other, who would have thought that he would not play cards according to common sense at all!
"Hmm~", Richardson covered his mouth and planted his head on the ground, Made's dare to shovel Lao Tzu's legs, I will destroy your teeth!
"Tut, toot~", the referee hurriedly ran over, and the teammates on both sides rushed up when they saw Mackqin's action, and Gerald and Kuyt quickly protected him behind him.
"F**K, do you want to fight", Dunn, the captain of Manchester City, shouted at him as he ran over and shouted at him.
"Hit your sister!" , Mark Qin scolded back!
At this time, Hamann came over and separated the players from both sides who were about to get entangled, "Calm down, Dunn, Steven, pull away from teammates......"
"Oops, Mackin was a little uncalm just now, and now a direct conflict has broken out between the two sides," Zhan Jun said.
Richardson covered his mouth for a long time and didn't get up, blood was already flowing from between his fingers, and the team doctor hurried in.
"What are your players doing? Is this a fighting ring? Erikson was anxious and shouted at Benitez.
"Your player is the butcher, and if he hadn't made a behind-the-back tackle and wouldn't have angered Mark, he would have been permanently suspended!" Benitez is unfazed.
The referee managed to calm the situation with the help of Hamann and the two captains, while Richardson was sitting on the grass and letting the team doctor look at his mouth.
The camera clearly shows the lip tear on this goods, and there is a leaky front tooth!
"Poof~, Mark is good! Kill that! Haha~", countless Liverpool bars raised their glasses and cheered, this kind of bloody shot has always been the favorite of these old British fans!
But Ittihad is two heavens, "Shhhh......h ”
The referee ran over at this time and gave the first ruby in Macqin's life with a snap!
Then he ran to Richardson, who had just stopped the bleeding, and teleported twice!
Then point to the sidelines and let them both leave!
"Shh......h
