Chapter 040: Becoming a 'Media Darling' Again?

On December 20, the 17th round of the Premier League has been transferred, and at Anfield, the Reds Liverpool face Wolverhampton.

Since 1995, after the Bolton Act came into effect, due to the economy, the general environment, internal policies and other issues, Liverpool no longer has the glory of the eighties, but in England, Liverpool is still a presence that many Premier League teams need to look up to, obviously, Wolverhampton is one of them.

Under Benitis, the Reds remain strong this year. The team has Michael. Owen, Gerrard, Barosh, Hyypia and other well-known stars, as well as many outstanding new stars, Liverpool can be described as star-studded, and the strength must not be underestimated.

In the last minute of the last game, Dave asked Wang Li to be a free agent, which instantly turned the situation on the court and made the team successfully win, which also gave him a lot of confidence. Before coming to Liverpool, Dave even thought about taking away the victory, and in his heart, he also had an accurate positioning for Wang Li, who was always surprising, that is, to act as a free man and play at will.

'This kind of almost all-around talent, let him play with his feelings, so that he can play to his strength,' Dave thought.

But is that really the case?

Today's Anfield stadium is very crowded, almost all the stands are filled with fans, a total of 45,600 tickets were sold for this game, and of them, more than 3,000 are Wolverhampton fans, they are all with the team to cheer on Liverpool, for the previous Wolverhampton, this is unthinkable, and the main reason why the fans are so enthusiastic is that in the last two games, the team has performed very well, and several youngsters are especially' Dance maestro Allen's play gave them the motivation to support the team!

There were a lot of reporters who came today, and almost the entire perimeter of the venue was occupied by cameras. Usually, a game with such a huge difference in strength and weakness, it is impossible to have so many reporters, most of them are coming for Wang Li, the 16-year-old has performed too well in the previous two games, so they also want to see if in front of the powerful Red Army Liverpool, this magical boy with oriental blood, can still stage a gorgeous dance, or a dream dance step?

In anticipation of the fans, referee B. Barry blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Wolverhampton kicked off and headed for Liverpool's half.

After passing a few kicks, the ball was handed over to Wang Li, who had just been inserted. The latter pedaled two bicycles in succession with both feet, and shook Diouf in front of him. After getting rid of Diouf, two Liverpool defenders immediately caught up, and the manager said before the game that he must be careful of this young brunette boy, Benitis is very authoritative in the team, and they don't want to be reprimanded by the manager for conceding a goal for a little carelessness.

Wang Li carefully stared at the Liverpool players who came to defend him, and poked the ball between the two in the moment when the two were sandwiched, and then performed a move of Ling Bo's footwork to pass through the gap between the two bodies.

However, after flashing the two, before he could catch up with the ball, the ball had been intercepted by a small black man in a red team uniform.

The little black man smiled at Wang Li, and then passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Benitis veteran sliding, he knows a lot of Wang Li's information from the Internet or scouts, according to the characteristics of Wolverhampton, he arranged a set of 442 chain defense tactics, each position has a few people to defend, using the player's physical strength to increase the ability to defend against the surname.

This chain defence tactic works well for teams that don't work well together, rely on stars for a long time or are completely rough, but playing the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea is a joke, and Benitis knows it.

Their opponents today are Wolverhampton, so it would be fitting for this game.

Since this interruption, Anfield Stadium has staged a Wolverhampton tragedy, but also a tragedy for Wang Li...

Liverpool relies on a strong midfield maneuver, the connection between the back and the midfield, like a tight machine, provides a steady stream of scoring opportunities for the front, and in defense, through the tacit cooperation between Colwill, Gerrard and several defenders, it is not weak at all.

As a free man, Wang Li seemed to be completely out of shape in the game, and he ran in vain in the front, midfield, and back field almost like a novice player, but without any effect.

He was a little at a loss, what should he do as a free man? Every time he dribbled the ball, he was caught by several guys, who would never leave any gaps for you to pass or pass, and he had been cut off three times in a row. And many times, his team-mates couldn't pass the ball at all, even if Liverpool didn't specifically target him, it was still the case, and this game also made him realize the gap between himself and the big star players.

……

In the 17th minute of the game, Wang Li dribbled the ball past two players in a row, but was cut off by Kewill. Seeing the opportunity, Kwillma passed the ball to Steven Gerrard, the team's most trusted man.

Gerrard dodged the half-ball to deceive Newton next to him, and directly made a straight stop, Owen successfully countered offside, got the ball and ran quickly, facing the attacking Paul Jones, Owen opened the scoring with a light hanging shot.

"Gerald, Owen, is our Michael. Owen, our England golden boy!! goooooo…… al……!! The goal was scored and now the score is 1-0 with Liverpool in the lead. ”

……

Just five minutes after the last goal, it was Gerrard again, after receiving a pass from a team-mate near the Wolverhampton penalty area, he deceived two defenders in succession, adjusted the rhythm to the left, and fired the ball into the goal with his right leg aside!

Paul Jones, who is 34 years old and came to Wolverhampton only to earn a salary based on experience, was helpless or even reacted to such a shot with impeccable speed, power and angle.

"Gerald...... Long Shot !! Yes...... The ball is in!! It was Gerrard's long-range shot, and it was a beautiful shot!! Steven Gerrard, our midfield engine, your long-range shots are just as powerful!! The score became 2:0!! ”

……

The Liverpool players played with rhythm and felt and the whole game almost became a group performance for them.

In the 53rd minute, left winger Smitchell, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, actually performed a beautiful upside-down golden hook in the small penalty area of Wolverhampton, which amazed the fans!

Even Wang Li secretly gave a thumbs up to his action in his heart!

……

In the 71st minute of the game, after a series of passes, the ball reached the feet of Gerrard on the edge of the penalty area.

After he shook off a defender, he shot from distance!

Paul Jones made a sideways save on the ball, and Owen was in the middle of the chaos and pushed the empty goal to score, 4:0.

……

Until the end of the game, Dave's mind was still in a mess, he didn't understand why it was playing like this, and today's lineup was exactly the same as the previous round, with Wang Li acting as a free man, and the rest of the people's positions basically remained the same.

Originally, with Dave's idea, this lineup would not be too different even if it couldn't beat Liverpool, but the result didn't go according to his ideas...

It can only be said that in terms of professional tactics, Dave does still have a big gap with these old foxes, and Benitis made a move to dissolve his tactics.

However, is it really appropriate for Wang Li to play a free man? Dave doesn't have an exact answer to this either, and it needs to be proven by race practice.

The reporters who came to interview today were all disappointed, they didn't see the hearty confrontation, and they didn't see Allen. What is the good performance of Wang, the rising star of England, will this be a shooting star again?

After the game, Benitis was unconcerned about the victory, and when asked by reporters, what do you think of Wolverhampton's No. 99 Allen. When Wang had any opinion, he said: "This player's dribbling level is still good, he has easily passed our players several times, but the Premier League is not a place for individual heroism, football is a game of eleven..."

"So, you mean to say, Alan. There are too many sticky balls for the king, or...? One of the reporters asked relentlessly.

'I didn't say that, he's not my player, how he plays, how he plays, that's not what I should care about.

After speaking, he got up and left the press conference, provoking these reporters to only count all today's anger on Wang Li, it seems that tomorrow's news protagonist can't do without him again, but this time it's just negative news...;
