Volume 2 Chapter 25 Fly Mark

"Goal~~, Mark, a kick to push the spot, opened the scoring for Liverpool, Liverpool led Luton Town 1-0"

"Oh~oh~", Sam's phalanx was a little larger, and the huge MKQ18 flag fluttered in the wind.

"Haha~", Emin was next to Jenny on the left, and Isabella was on the right, pointing to Makqin who ran over to make a heart-shaped hand.

On the big screen, the figure of Isabella in the stands was played at the right time, with a pink down jacket and a plush hat that had been worn over the ears, only showing a small face, which was not charming.

Her relationship with Mackin was completely exposed, and she became the object of more attention at school, and Isabella, the school girl who had never been in the school, had already had a boyfriend.

"Hehe", Lucas came over and put his arm around his shoulder, "Lifting the ban and paying, opening the record, congratulations!" ”

It was the third round of the FA Cup match between Liverpool and Luton Town on the number 16, and all three new signings were introduced, with defender Gary Cahill and Agger at the back.

Bruno joined Lucas in midfield, with Liela on the left wing, and Voronin and Makqin up front.

Just after Mackin returned to the team, Benitez had an in-depth conversation with him, and now Mackin is no longer the time for him to use it at the beginning of the season and throw it at any corner if he doesn't need it.

He is a representative of Cocoby's new generation of Liverpool Academy and the hopes of the club and the fans.

He had several highlights in the first half of the season and was dubbed the Prince of Anfield by Liverpool fans.

He is the bridge between the club and the Asian market, and the club is eager to play the whole game.

But Benitez can't do this, Liverpool's strongest place is in the midfield, without Mackqin, and Lucas, who has now gradually played his value, has also tended to be complete.

He once felt that it was still far away when he was seriously thinking about this issue, but he didn't expect that Mackin would develop and progress so quickly.

There's no way he's going to let the prince of Anfield play a pure sub, even if he's so young, it's a matter of status.

Fortunately, he thought of a way early on, and the thinness of the front line and the versatility of Makqin relieved him, which is why he dared to let Crouch go.

Macqin can play midfield, wing, and striker, which suddenly enriches the frontcourt play, and his range of activities is very large, so it does not limit him to the front line.

That's right, the position he assigned to Mackin was nine and a half times.

Five or six years ago, when the nine-and-a-half was in full swing, Robert Baggio, Piero the Bianconeri Prince and Totti, the Wolf King Totti, were all well-known figures between the front line and the front midfield.

"Nine-and-a-half?" , Mack Qin asked.

"That's right", Benitez took out a report and handed it to Mack, "This is a data analysis report of the games you have played, and most of your running hot spots are concentrated in the middle of the midfield and in front of the penalty area"

"Well, that's right", he nodded as he looked at the report, it did have something to do with the position he liked to play.

Even if he is placed on the wing, he rarely goes down like a traditional winger.

"Now we are playing in a four-four-two and four-five-one, and the return of the second striker Kuyt has helped us a lot in the middle, and to be honest, you are in the middle of the midfield to make our defense less hard, which is the main reason why I don't let you play in the middle", Benitez explained in a rare way.

Cesc Fabregas is thinner than me, and I don't see how much it drops, this is the difference in coaching philosophy, Mackin is noncommittal, nodding in approval.

"That's why I've put you in the rotation of the nine-and-a-half, so that you can play to your strengths and you don't have to take on too much defensive duty," Benitez finally concluded.

……

Rafael Benitez applauded from the sidelines, and Liverpool were held to a draw in the last league game, with two consecutive draws allowing Liverpool to relinquish the leader, who was not yet hot.

Strangely, the whole Liverpool team seemed to be relieved, and Makqin pondered for a moment, thinking about this kind of psychology of gains and losses, and they still have one game less, so it is not necessarily a bad thing for them to adjust their state quickly.

This game against Luton Town is a good opportunity for Liverpool to stop the decline, just eight minutes into the game, Voronin leaned on the opponent's defender and crossed the penalty area, and Makqin rushed to take the lead!

Pulling back and then inserting into the box, he got closer to the box than ever before.

'Luton couldn't withstand Liverpool's strong attack, and despite their substitutions, it was clear that Luton were not in the same level and they needed to think about whether they could afford to let Liverpool score a few fewer goals,' Liverpool TV's Walker commented on the game.

"Mark is in good form after a two-game ban, and Liverpool Crouch switched to Portsmouth in the winter, but we see Mark on the front line today, Benitez seems to be relying on something"

Luton goalkeeper Brill frustrated the ball out of the net, Liverpool's goal just now was too simple, Ag had a big foot on the side, and Voronin inserted it and leaned on defender Jackson into the penalty area.

This Russian big man's body is really not covered, and he ran seven or eight meters with Jackson on his shoulder, and a horizontal pass allowed Mark to easily push and shoot.

When the game restarted, Mack returned the ball and pushed it to Lucas, turned and pressed it forward, and Lucas pushed it to Liela on the wing.

When he came, Markin always thought he was a center forward, tall and strong, and it was a waste to play a winger.

The newly arrived Lera, who obviously wanted to perform well in front of the fans of his new club, flicked his left foot and hit the bottom line like a traditional winger.

Voronin likes this style of play the most, pressing the defender and running into the penalty area, Mackin hurriedly prepared to grab the second landing point, the awkwardness of not playing in the midfield is here, he has to adapt to the running position according to the midfielder's style of play, and he is not free to command others.

In the end, Liela barely finished a cross from the baseline, but Voronin and Makqin couldn't get the spot, and the ball was controlled by Lucas on the perimeter.

Mackin immediately retreated, and the number nine and a half were both strikers and midfielders, with Liverpool controlling possession and attacking in the box around Luton......

Fifteen minutes into the game, Mackin retreated in front of the penalty area to receive the ball, turned and passed a small pick to Arbelloa on the wing, and then ran to him to receive it.

Arbelloa took it to the baseline and returned it to Finnan, who was behind him, and Finnan pushed it to Mackin who ran from the corner of the penalty area.

Mack Qin received the ball and half-turned with his left foot, pushed it to Lucas in front of the penalty area, and then quickly inserted it into the ribs.

Lucas heard the song and knew what it meant, and a pass over the top was sent to the ribs, and Mackin led the central defender Bale to stop the ball with his chest first, and then immediately arched his foot~

"Mark, chest stop~, good ball~, Liera, header, Goal~al~al, 2-0, Liela scored in his first game with Liverpool~"

Leela happily came over to hug Mackin after scoring the goal, this kid has been appreciated by Zidane and Pep Guardiola, and is also quite well-known in Spain.

Lera knew that Liverpool had such a new midfield star before he came, but he didn't expect to be so good at playing the striker.

This game is a training match that Liverpool used to familiarize the newcomers with the role as soon as possible and get Makqin used to the position......

"Goal~, another, in the 38th minute of the game, Agger shot a long shot and penetrated the door of Luton Town again", Walker said excitedly.

"In the first half of the season, Agger didn't play very much, there were many minor injuries, hopefully he will find his form as soon as possible and stay healthy in the second half of the season"

"Oh ~ Oh ~ ", Liverpool has drawn three times in a row, which makes Liverpool fans, who were excited to win the winter championship, a little worried about the state of the team.

In the 60 minutes of the second half, Liverpool made three substitutions in a row, Insuya, Hobbs, and Benayoun came on one after another, and Aurelio, Ager, and Arbeloa were replaced.

In the 70th minute, Insua, who had just come on the field, sent a cross of quite high quality, and Voronin beat Jackson to shake his head to attack the goal, 4-0.

In the 82nd minute, Liverpool broke the ball and counterattacked, Mack Qin made a straight kick in front of the penalty area, and Lucas, who was inserted in the back, made it 5-0 in one fell swoop.

After that, Liverpool Mingjin withdrew and advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup amid the cheers of tens of thousands of fans at home.

"Congratulations to Liverpool, they made it to the fourth round of the FA Cup cleanly, and also stopped the decline of three consecutive league draws, and now Liverpool have a game less, one point behind the top team, and the competition for the title is naturally fierce!" , Volcker concluded.

Mackin shot two passes, not surprisingly, once again won the best of the game, "Mark, Mark", the reporter of the Liverpool Echo pulled Mackin who was holding champagne and was about to leave.

"Can you tell us about your game?" , the other party asked.

Makqin wrapped his coat, the weather was still a little cold, "I think it's in good shape, our strength is above Luton, so the result is not unexpected"

"We see you taking Kuyt's place, is that a special arrangement? Or will you always play this position in the future"

"Well......", he organized the language and said: "The coach does have arrangements for me, I can't say that I replaced Kuyt, he is unique, I am different from his characteristics, the coach will make different arrangements according to the opponent~"

'Which position do you prefer to play as a midfielder or as a striker?'

"I like the position where I can win," he replied with a smile.

"Haha, so last question, what do you think about the recent news that Barcelona is going to bring you in?"

Ma Qin looked confused, "What do you think?" Of course, I watch TV or read the newspaper~"

“……”

"Haha", he said with a smile, "Just kidding, I don't have any other ideas right now than to help the team win the league championship, and as for other people's thoughts, I can't influence and I won't care"

He forgot what the points of each team were this season, and he remembered that the final point difference between the teams was very small, that is, a matter of one or two games, so he couldn't be careless about a single game.

If you don't have a champion, you can't be a superstar.

The fact that he was able to buy Cahill was a bit of a surprise for Mackin as the defender who occupied the main position at Chelsea for many years, although he was not very stable, but he was very strong.

Bruno is not very familiar with him, only that he is one of the four midfielders of the Chilean engineer when he is in the yellow submarine in the future, and it stands to reason that it should not be too bad.

Since the team has a carrot and a pit, as long as it can play, the team winning the championship is the most important thing, and there is nothing to play the forward line, maybe it can play a new world.

Even Steven Gerrard is in the right-back position, what else can he say, it's just that there are too many Spaniards in this team.

After the game, he signed autographs to the fans at the exit of the stadium as usual, which they arranged by themselves, and the club only stipulated a form, and several players would come out to sign autographs for fans at the end of each home game.

"Marc, will you go to Barcelona?" , a little fan took his signed scarf and asked him childishly.

"Then you don't want me to go?" , he asked with a smile while signing it for others in his hand.

"Of course I don't want to~", the little boy replied seriously.

Ma Qin looked at the father who was looking at the child with a doting face, and said with a smile: "Then listen to you, don't go"

"Yay~, I'll leave Mark behind~", the little boy said proudly.

He came from later generations, so he didn't take Barcelona and Real Madrid too seriously like many players, they are just a better team, he plays football in his life, first of all, he must be happy to play himself!
