Volume 3 Chapter 101 Radical Change by Superstars
The sound of the wind, the rain, the swaying jerseys, the water droplets raised, the fire-like Anfield.
If you want to see if a player is professional enough and hard enough, if you really take off his shirt, you know that it is more direct than any words and performances.
The figure is not muscular, the edges and corners are clear, and the muscles of the arms, chest, abdomen, and back are raised, which is enough to verify a sentence, take off the flesh, and look thin in dress!
Countless female fans in front of the live broadcast camera instantly drooled nympholy, and a big red heart appeared in their eyes, what a clean and sunny big boy!
This is the result of seven or eight years of reasonable and scientific diet and uninterrupted training, as well as regular living and rest habits, an Asian physique, if you don't spend more effort in training, will really be crushed by the physical talent of Europe and Africa.
Running to the sidelines, Mark Qin threw out his jersey, arched his arms and roared at the camera, he was so refreshed with this goal, he scored a lot of goals, but there are few goals like this, which is naturally crazy.
"Roar", "roar", one after another teammates rushed over, hugged him and kept shouting to the stands, and in response to them was a group of arms waving, shouting like a tide.
The rain curtain became clearer and clearer under the stadium lights at Anfield, washing over the tense body, making this scene look extraordinarily proud and wild.
Do you remember the sunset on the banks of the River Mersey?
Do you remember the days and nights at Cocoby's base?
Do you remember Istanbul's refusal to admit defeat?
Do you remember the arrival of a superstar at Old Trafford?
Anfield's name was destined to be full of history, and then a new poem was written.
"Unbelievable, unbelievable, even though I already knew he could put the ball in that damn goal in any way, every time I was dumbfounded," Peterson still screams.
"Maybe he's playing football that doesn't belong to this world, it's beyond most people's realization, I've been in Corkby for almost a decade, I can't imagine how a player like Mark can be produced there," says Maika, "he's a phenomenon"
He's a star himself known for his creativity, and he's had a lot of creative shots like scissor legs in the air in his career, but he's still a five-body shot.
This has even gone beyond winning and losing, to a celebration of football understanding and skill.
Spalletti and Benitez were already wearing rain jackets, just an excited celebration, one shook his head with a wry smile, he hadn't seen him for a year, he had become so powerful, so powerful that if you wanted to limit him, you would naturally have to sacrifice the team's attack.
But players like Ibrahimovic and Silva, you can't stop putting them on the pitch, which is also an inevitable worry for many coaches after having many attacking superstars.
So why is Mu Niao so angry at Abu for buying a striker he doesn't like, because it will ruin his entire style of play, so expensive to buy a striker, is it sitting on the bench? , but if they do, there will naturally be one less defender in the backcourt.
Only Barry is a pure defensive midfielder, and he will definitely not be able to restrain Mack, but fortunately, it is the league, and Benitez is not too anxious, if it is a cup match, maybe he will put on a pure defensive counterattack at the beginning.
By the end of the first half, the stadium had completely turned into a heavy rain, and the people in the stands wore raincoats and umbrellas, but the enthusiasm was still the same, and the singing was the same.
The score is 2:1, the home team is in front, the away team is behind, and the superstars from both teams, Mackin and Ibrahimovic.
"Hey, the weather in the UK is really changing", Zhan Jun looked at the live broadcast camera that was pulled to a wide angle and said, "The first half was really exciting, especially the world wave of Makqin who overtook the score"
Zhang Lu nodded, "His level is already the best in the world, which shows that my country is not unable to produce football talents", he still couldn't help but nod.
"Then in the second half, Zhang instructed you how to watch," Zhan Jun asked.
"Benitez's tactics are not conservative, although some rely on the individual ability of these superstars in the frontcourt", Zhang Lu said, pointing to the record book, "but these guys are very well matched, each has his own duties, the world-class coach still has a level, if Manchester City play well in the second half, it is not without chance"
Rafael Benitez didn't choose to be conservative in the dressing room, but he made a targeted change, replacing right midfielder Phillips with a midfielder, Frenkie de Jong.
Then Yaya Toure went on top, Phillips had a near-none-presence in the first half, and Benitez turned the lineup into 4222.
"Forget those two goals", he said in a rare way, "it wasn't our defensive problem, but we had to play better in the second half, Liverpool are all small men at the back, Ibrahimovic, you have to make a fuss in that area in the second half"
On the other hand, Spalletti kept the habit of not changing the winning side, just telling the players to pay attention to the slippery ball on rainy days and pay more attention to the unexpected ball.
At the beginning of the second half, the rain was a little lighter, and it turned into moderate rain, which could not be seen without careful attention in the live broadcast signal.
"Oh? City opted for a substitution, Frenkie de Jong replaced Phillips, and they had to rely on Glen Johnson on the right flank," said Peterson unexpectedly.
McCa went on to say: 'Phillips has been slowly losing his spirit since moving to Chelsea, his performance in the first half was really average, Mark is in such hot form at the moment, it is normal for Benitez to change to a midfielder to limit him'
Pepe South, De Jong North, Mark Qin looked at the bald head Qiang who appeared on the stage, thinking that the legend had finally made his debut, Benitez touched half the game and did not make targeted changes, he didn't believe it, so there was no surprise.
"Toot ......", with a whistle from Dodd, the second half began, this time with the ball in front of Manchester City.
Yaya Toure was finally able to press forward more confidently and boldly after De Jong came on, which suddenly increased the pressure on Iaquinta, and Glen Johnson stepped forward more often.
At this time, the strong god can squeeze Zabaleta out of the first main force, in addition to the England account, more because he is indeed more capable of round-tripping at this time, and he is one of the few fullbacks in England who can cut inside and hit the goal, not to mention Real Madrid, Chelsea has indeed let go of many stars in those years.
Spalletti stood on the sidelines with a frown, and he wanted to see what changes they had in attack in addition to limiting Mackin for City's change of formation.
The results were immediate.
"Yaya Toure inserted the ball, this body is too strong, he actually carried the same more than 1.9 meters of Iaquinta, handed over to Ibrahimovic on his back, Ibrahimovic against Skrtel, Silva, really fast, he dodged Mascherano's pressing, straight plug, oh, Darren Bent, turned and volleyed directly, hit the side netting"
Reina's goal kick was directly kicked under the pressure of the front court, Mark jumped diligently, but was still pressed back to the midfield by Barry in the back.
It was Yaya Toure who took the ball directly and rushed in, Yaquinta had to chase back as soon as he came up, Spalletti frowned when he saw this, Yaya Toure did not have to retreat frequently, and directly tied up Yaquinta who went to the front court to stir up.
The next scene confirmed his guess, after Liverpool broke the ball at the back, he quickly passed it to Mackin in the front, but at this time Iaquinta had not yet gone up.
Makqin, who had just stopped the ball and avoided Barry, was directly knocked to the ground by De Jong with a ferocious tackle, and Makqin, who jumped up, said in his heart, I Nyima, are bald monks so virtuous.
"Shhhh......h
Iaquinta had just run over at this time, but it was still useful, and he pushed directly to the chest of De Jong, who was standing up, and successfully led the battle.
"Oh, De Jong's tackle sparked a big clash between the two sides, and this is Anfield, and De Jong would have better be more restrained, even though he has always been known for his ferocity," said Peterson.
The scene quickly became chaotic around the location of the accident, but Gerard and Colo Toure ran up in time to pick up their teammates.
"What do you see your players doing?" , Spalletti clashed with the opponent's manager on the sidelines for the first time, and when De Jong put the shovel just now, he was nervous, and he was afraid for a while when he saw that Mark was fine, and everyone in the team lacked a substitute, but Mark Qin was irreplaceable.
Benitez knew that he was wrong, not to mention that this was Anfield, so he didn't respond. Dodd and the others separated the players on both sides, showing De Jong a yellow card and then Yaquinta.
Mack Qin patted him on the back, "Thanks, Vincenzo, but you have to pay attention to defending Yaya Toure, don't get caught by the referee again"
"I know," Iaquinta nodded, and the object's English was on the rise.
"The game restarted, Mark should be fine, he dodged very fast, the free kick went straight to Gerrard, Gerrard, the wing used the speed to eat Kolarov, shot ......", Peterson suddenly shouted.
Because Gerrard shook off Kolarov with speed on the wing, glanced at the penalty area, did not cross, and directly pulled his leg near the corner of the penalty area to shoot, which surprised everyone.
The rain slipped and bounced off the ball with the outside of Gerrard's outside instep arc, and it jumped straight to the far post, breaking Hart's 10-finger barrier again, and he simply memorized the game.
Duang was the kind of unreasonable shot, but luckily God heard his call, and the ball hit the far post with a "Duang" and bounced straight to the other sideline, where it was picked up by Glen Johnson.
'The goalpost, Gerrard's shot hit the post, it was another world wave,' exclaimed Peterson, 'City got out of the way'
"Man City's counter-attack", his voice was high again, as the ball flew directly towards Ibrahimovic in midfield, and he only resisted lightly, squeezed Mascherano to the side, and then pointed the ball to his side.
It was Yaya Toure, and like a heavy truck, the ball was forward, and Iaquinta strode back like crazy.
'Yaya Toure, fast pushing, Ibrahimovic on the left, Darren Bent on the right, good chance for City to counter-attack,' said Pietersen, looking at the Liverpool backfield with only a few men left.
Yaquinta finally caught up with the furious Yaya Toure, but he had already passed the ball to Ibrahimovic next to him, and Ibrahimovic's long legs shook off Mascherano with a single button, and then pushed straight into the box.
Darren Bent slapped the horse, Mackin looked at the linesman from a distance, did not raise the flag, and then saw Darren Bent shoot directly low along the incoming ball, the ball grazed the attacking Reina, and flew directly into the goal.
Spalletti flashed his waist, a look of pity, and then made a decision in an instant, he has been thinking about it recently, and today he has to change the formation again.
"Dirk, go warm up", he turned to Kuyt and said, and then while Manchester City celebrated the goal, he quickly called Gerrard and Iaquinta over, "Vincenzo (Iaquinta), I'll replace Dirk in a while, you go play right midfield, play as you used to"
"Steven, you can replace Javier (Mascherano) in a moment as a single midfielder, do a good job of scheduling and inserting long-range shots, pull out their forward line for me, don't let them contain Mark easily", he said to Gerrard.
Benitez finally forced him to withstand the pressure and replace Liverpool's absolute midfielder Mascherano for more than two years, he had been hesitating, but now he had to change, he was too little help to the team in attack.
After a while, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the substitution card, and Spalletti pulled Kuyt on the sidelines, and said tirelessly: "Dirk, you ...... when you go up."
