Volume 2 Chapter 5 Defeat of Marseille

It's weird, if it's not on the shelves, there will be such a thing as a monthly pass?

……

Before leaving for Marseille, Valle and Elmer came to him, and they were team-mates in the Champions League together in the summer, winning their first and only Under-18 title together.

But after four months, everything changed.

They are still struggling with the Under-18s, and Mackin is already a first-team regular, Prince Anfield, and even made the national team.

They also watched the news from the national team's disturbances, and as friends, they should come over to see him.

Valle fiddled with the more and more sad backgammon, and said depressedly: "If you don't play football well, you can endure it, how can you play chess?" ”

Elmer laughed next to him, "Valle, you can admit it, Mark plays football by his brain, you rely on speed, this backgammon is obviously playing with the brain, how normal it is for you to lose~"

Valle scratched his head, feeling that there was some reason.

He put down his chess pieces and completely conceded defeat, Mackin was going to play the Champions Cup again, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to compete with him.

Ma Qin knew the thoughts of the two of them, this person, even if he was afraid of comparison, their development was logically smooth.

"At the end of the year or at the end of the season, Cocoby will be handed over to Melwood, so you two will do well and try to be promoted to the Under-19s next year to have a chance to get to the reserves, like Hobbs," he said as he cleaned up the board.

"The rumors are true?" , they said in surprise.

He nodded, "Don't spread the word."

"Don't worry, we never like to chat~"

He looked at Valle, thought about it and couldn't help but say: "Vallai, you are fast, but your skills are not outstanding, pure speed strikers are not popular now, you try to develop as a winger, you can take the inward cutting route, and you can practice well in crosses~"

Valle and Elmer looked at each other, turned their heads and said: "Mark, I believe you, I will think about what you say, you mean a similar style of play to Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo"

"Yes, you have the pace, you are not slow to change direction, you are flexible, you are more developed in the position of the in-cutting winger", he recalled the prosperity of the winger in his previous life, and continued: "The in-cut shot, the weak foot cross, these two things are practiced, plus your speed, there will definitely be a place for you in the Premier League"

Elmer listened quietly, and looked at Mack with hope, both of whom were not confident that they would be promoted to the first team.

"As for you, you have the advantages of England's traditional defenders, but they won't be too prominent in the Premier League", he turned to Elmer and said, "I suggest you practice more skills at your feet, as well as long passes, so that you can play the ball like a weakened version of the playmaker, which will increase your competitiveness~"

They scratched their ears and cheeks for a while, Valle's winger transformation is good to say, and now it is slowly emerging, Elmer's point point central defender? Unheard of~

As soon as Pep Guardiola takes office next year, you will know, Mackin thought to himself.

Elmer was very decisive, thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll do what you say when I go back, you succeeded, your experience and views must be more insightful than ours"

He patted Elmer on the shoulder, whether you can change your own fate depends on how well you practice~

……

Marseille, this is the first time he came to this city, the largest port in the Mediterranean.

In his previous life, he loved the single-player game Age of Discovery, Marseille was an important Mediterranean base city, and the warlords were powerful.

Marseille was a guest at Anfield, and was equalized by a fairy ball by Mack Qin at the last second, it can be said that the top and bottom were very impressed by Mackqin, and after a while, I didn't expect this kid to be more famous!

"Mark, you really know it now," Lucas said as he warmed up with a small pass to the ball as he watched the sporadic boos around the stands.

"Bang", Mack Qin sent the ball into the gate guarded by Reina with a volley, and said: "Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles"

"It's good or bad, that's fame," Lucas said, bringing another ball.

The Liverpool duo are now extremely popular in the team, with both men playing with a dashing style of play and an excellent sense of the big picture, and complementing each other well in midfield.

They were both substitutes in this game, and due to Aurelio's injury, Arbeloa is now in the rotation of two full-backs, with Benitez having to play Gerrard at right midfield.

The first half was nothing short of Gerrard's individual performance, since signing a lifetime contract with the club, Gerrard, who put aside his personal honor and humiliation and only wanted to win the title, has completely exploded, and even surpassed Torres in goals in these games.

Just four minutes into the game, Gerrard broke Mandanda's ten fingers with a powerful header, and when it came to the right midfielder, Gerrard's impact was really not something that ordinary full-backs could block.

That was the goal, as Benayoun played the ball for Enrique on the left, who ran with a high-quality cross that went straight to the back post, and Gerrard cut in from behind to beat the Marseille left-back to open the scoring for Liverpool.

Less than three minutes into the lead, Gerrard's iconic long-range missile once again broke through Mandanda's Ten Fingers.

But that's not the end of it!

In the fourteenth minute of the game, Gerrard sent a cross from the right that was comparable to a Bayesian arc, which directly found the top of Torres' head, and Torres flicked the header, 3-0!

Marseille is simply vulnerable today! depressed and wanted to hit the wall, and the boos from the audience still couldn't stop Liverpool's play.

By the time Mandanda picked the ball out of the goal for the third time, the whole team was stunned, and Ejere sat back in the dugout with a dejected face.

The game was over and it took only fourteen minutes for Benitez to smile.

"Marseille have no chance, this game has ended early because they have met the unstoppable captain of the Reds ~ Gerrard!" , Zhan Jun explained.

Benitez, who had the winning hand, waved his hand at halftime, Lucas replaced Alonso, Mackin replaced Torres, and Arbeloa replaced Gerrard, and the troops were ready for the double red meeting.

Mackin was placed in the forward position again, but the top one became Kuyt, and it seems that Benitez is ready to find him in this position.

The chances of him returning to the middle of midfield under Rafael Benitez are getting less and less likely.

"Audience friends, the second half of the game is about to start, we watched Liverpool go up and down three times, and we have started to stay for the Double Red Club, and the Chinese player Mackin also came off the bench, Director Kim, what do you think?" , Zhan Jun said.

"Obviously, Liverpool has withdrawn the troops, and the state of the first few games of Mackin is incredible, and it also shocked European football~", he said.

"After scoring a hat-trick against Besiktas, he said that he could become the king of the ball in the future, and he played an international game in the middle, and the momentum of the sudden rise was interrupted, and Benitez obviously made him find his form again in these games......"

This score is much easier than against Reading, and his mentality is relaxed all of a sudden, so as soon as he kicks off, Kuyt pushes the ball, and he follows with a hanging door!

Imagination is a thing, first of all, the mind must be relaxed, so that there can be a lot of improvisation.

Mandanda was standing between the small penalty line and the big penalty line, waiting for the kick-off, and look at me! Pull your legs and retreat.

Mark Qin ...... Hanging door~", Zhan Jun's opening is a shot in the arm, and he has always been known for his passionate commentary.

"Huh~, I went out by rubbing the beam, this ball is really eight or nine and ten~", Director Jin said.

"Netizens, our favorite Mr. Ma is back again~", Zhan Jun said with a smile, "I scared Mandanda into a cold sweat with a hanging shot at the beginning!" ”

"Oh~, shh~~", this foot hanging door really reminded many Marseille fans of the flying fairy in Anfield, so he booed him louder.

Ah~, Mark Qin holds his head in his hands, and he feels a lot of flirtation, when you think faster than others and feel more than others, the pleasure of playing with cat and mouse is really not enough for outsiders~

It's just a little bit......

"Mark, Mark, you can do anything, Mark, Mark, you are fearless, you are the prince of Anfield......", the Liverpool fans who came with the team excitedly began to sing the song they wrote for Mack.

Kuyt high-fived him, "Bull break~", this player who is almost ten years younger than him has to impress him again and again, he is just whimsical when he plays~

The recent disturbances have made him a little tired, and he played very mechanically against Reading on the field, and this foot hanging door finally made him a little excited~

The excitement on the field is cool, it is sprinkling flowers, it is hi~

"Mackqin, oops, this ball is beautiful~", he and Benayoun finished a two-to-one on the side, and it was directly a sideways Marseille spin, and the left heel knocked the ball directly between the unclosed legs of the Marseille right-back.

At that moment, it was really cold and cold, and my eyes were full of tears~

Then he turned and brushed past right-back Julian, and without looking at the penalty area, the coquettish outside instep crossed.

In fact, he knew that Kuyt couldn't grab the high point at all, and the ball should go to the penalty area with a low cross, but this series of actions was done, and the imperfect connection of an outside instep was like taking off his pants to see his aunt!

"Oops~, Kuyt, if he grows ten centimeters taller, this ball will definitely be able to enter the top five balls in this round~", Zhan Jun sighed there, too aura!

Zhan Jun himself is a Liverpool fan and a professional football practitioner for many years, and Mackqin's natural posture makes him extremely emotional today.

"Mr. Ma is really a fairy who does what he wants~, in the second half, Liverpool was completely out of pressure, and Mr. Ma was also having fun, all kinds of improvisational actions~"

Unless he consciously restrains himself on the court, he never likes to stay in one place, the scientific name is obsessive-compulsive disorder, because he can always feel the gap and running position of his side or the other party, and it is too uncomfortable not to use it or make up for it.

With 59 minutes to go, he cut diagonally to the right to receive the ball, and Finnan just made a direct push from the side to the open on this side, and left-back Bonner was just out of Abero ala.

Football tactics are not complicated at all, there are only so many of them, and in the final analysis, they all need to use the space on the wings or in the ribs, no matter what means they rely on.

Tactical scheduling, speed tearing, body hard squeezing, and technical excellence are all OK, as long as you can achieve the goal of tearing the opponent's guard line apart, you will achieve the goal.

The closer you are to the goal, the higher the goal rate, and the rules of the basketball court apply as well as the football field.

Mackin pulled centre-back Rodriguez out this time, and opened up the pass space with a lateral escape from receiving the ball.

The gap is only temporary, because the player is athletic, you don't need to look at him to know that the right-back Julian has been retracted, and a left-footed curling ball goes straight to the back point~

Timely and accurate.

Benayoun arrived in time! With a cross-arch kick, the ball was brought in front of Kuyt in the middle, and these two pulls completely tore apart the Marseille backline, and the midfielders did not have time to return.

Kuyt sent the ball into the net with an easy cushion shot, 4-0!

"Another one, this time it's the Red Army model worker ~ Kuyt!"

Mackin went over and hugged Kuyt, and the ball was played exactly as he had expected.

The defensive discipline of the Ligue 1 team is not so good, if it is Italy or a team that plays defensive counter-attack, the right midfielder should be replaced, and it was Ziani who did not keep up with Benayoun just now.

In the end, Liverpool easily defeated Marseille 4-0 away, and won three games in a row in the first three rounds of the group stage, drawing two and losing one, and won the top spot in the group strongly.

After playing Marseille, Liverpool rushed back to Melwood overnight, because they were about to face their old enemies, Manchester United!
