Chapter 7oo Who is the strongest center? (Above)

With the referee Cantalejo blowing the whistle, the Champions League quarter-finals between Liverpool and Fiorentina kicked off.

It was Liverpool who kicked off first.

Today, Liverpool's forwards are Chen Yu and Crouch, one high and one fast, and Benitez tries to occupy an absolute advantage in height and degree.

In the midfield, Benitez is a combination of Gerrard, Alonso, Mascherano and Reese, this combination may lack a bit of creativity, but it is very balanced at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and it is very impactful, playing away, such a midfield should be the most stable, with Benitez's character, it is impossible for Pennant and Garcia to appear in such an important game together.

The backline and goalkeeper position were the least suspenseful, with Aager and Carragher playing at centre-back, Finnan and Aurelio on either flank, and Reina in goal.

After the whistle blew, Crouch and Chen Yu rushed to the Fiorentina penalty area as fast as possible, and the central midfield behind them moved forward in the middle, maintaining a distance between the three lines that could meet each other.

In the face of Liverpool's brave giants, Fiorentina's lineup today is also stable, the forward line is undoubtedly a combination of Toni and Mutu, the midfield is Pachenza, Montolivo, Liverani and Donader, but in the position, Liverani is behind the two forwards, as a forward midfielder, in the backline, Ujfarusi, Gambellini, Dainelli, Pasquier lined up, and the last line of defense is goalkeeper Frei.

How powerful Crouch is, the Florentines don't know very well, but how powerful Chen Yu is, every Florentine can no longer be clearer.

As soon as Chen Yu rushed to the Fiorentina half, Montolivo followed Chen Yu.

Montolivo is one of Chen Yu's best friends in Fiorentina, the youngster learned a lot from Chen Yu at that time, and after this season's hard work, he has become more mature and has gradually become one of the main players in the Fiorentina midfield.

Seeing that Montolivo was following so closely, Chen Yu couldn't help but turn around and say, "It's progress, Montolivo, but relax, this will reduce the consumption of the body."

Montolivo didn't feel as familiar as Chen Yu in such an important game, his face was nervous, and his speech was hard.

"I don't dare to talk to you, if I lose my position, the coach will scold me to death."

Chen Yu couldn't help laughing, at this time he remembered that Montolivo was just a year old, and last season was only sporadically gained some time in the Champions League, and it was impossible for him to relax now.

“…… Chen Yu rushed to Fiorentina's position and he will charge at the team he played for, and we will see if he can break the only goal he has not scored in Serie A......"

The commentator at the scene was also deliberately funny at this time.

Chen Yu and Crouch are one of Liverpool's tactics, and Benitez wants to give Fiorentina a taste at the beginning, as long as they can score first, the next games will be much better.

Crouch and Chen Yu had just arrived in the 30-meter area of Fiorentina, and Alonso in the backfield hit a long pass, looking for Crouch and letting Crouch choose the way to attack.

The role of the Crouch bridgehead is still obvious.

meters, once considered the height limit for football players. When Crouch of Mi-Zero first appeared in front of people, most of the skeptical stares awaited him. In the minds of most fans, such a tall player is usually associated with words like "clumsy" and "sluggish". In particular, Crouch, who weighs only 7o kilograms, has earned the nickname "Big Bamboo Pole", which is somewhat ridiculous.

But Crouch completely turned people's traditional ideas on its head. In the game, he not only fully swung his header to grab the point, but also had a full aura of expression.

Today, Crouch impressed the Florentines, in the face of Alonso's high-altitude ball from 30 meters away, he firmly leaned on the position of Pachenza, ferried to Chen Yu with a header, and turned around nimbly, wiped past Pacchenza, and ran to the Fiorentina penalty area.

Crouch's ferry is normal, as the highest altitude of the stadium, it is strange if he can't compete for Pachenza with his head, but this turn and run position shows his flexibility and agility, because Chen Yu has been followed by Fiorentina's players, and may not be able to get the ball, if there is no passing point, it is easy to be caught and stealed, and Crouch runs out of position to share Chen Yu's worries.

Sure enough, Chen Yu didn't dare to stop the ball under Montolivo's marking, and his header passed directly to Crouch, and he ran quickly and then went to pick up Crouch.

This header relay was very clever, and the defenders followed when it was completed, but because Crouch and Chen Yu moved quickly, the defenders didn't have time to react.

The Fiorentina fans at the scene all had the urge to cheer, but they did not lose their minds after all, and they all tried to remain silent.

Montolivo let Chen Yu complete a header relay, regretting in his heart, this time he didn't dare to let Chen Yu take the ball easily again, into the 30-meter area, Chen Yu touched the ball again and was able to shoot directly.

Montolivo is the Fiorentina midfielder's second only to Liverani, he defends against Chen Yu, but his eyes are watching how Crouch handles the ball in order to make judgments in advance.

Crouch himself still didn't get the ball, and in such a situation, he must have given priority to passing to Chen Yu.

Crouch headed the ball over again, and he quickly cut into the Fiorentina penalty area, and if Chen Yu could pass the ball over this time, he would be able to shoot directly.

However, Montolivo judged the purpose and direction of Crouch's pass in advance, and he boldly gave up Chen Yu, and a header was destroyed on the way to the flight.

Chen Yu was surprised by Montolivo's successful defense, and he gave Montolivo a thumbs up when he rushed over to press for the full-back Pasquel, who had the best chance to get the ball.

The Fiorentina fans at the scene burst into applause, and being able to complete such a preemptive destruction when staring at Chen Yu is definitely commendable.

The commentator at the scene, He Shiren, couldn't help but praise: "Montolivo is good, for ordinary people, I really don't dare to give up Chen Yu to destroy this pass, that is, he is too familiar with Chen Yu, today's game, Chen Yu is really not good to play, at least 9 of the opponent's 11 players are familiar with him." ”

Prandelli on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief, he did not use the most experienced Donadale to mark Chen Yu, but used the youngest and most familiar with Chen Yu Montolivo, that is, he thought Montolivo was smart enough, and now it seems that in such a heavy game, Montolivo's swing is good and there is no abnormality.

Pasquel was one of the starting points of Fiorentina's attack, and the ball that had just been destroyed by Montolivo was just picked up by him near the touchline, and as an attacking full-back, Pasquel was the first to dribble forward and attack from the wing.

However, Pasquier had just taken control of the ball, and Chen Yu rushed over with the degree of a leopard.

Pasquier knew Chen Yu's degree, he didn't dare to be careless, and before Chen Yu ran away, he immediately passed the ball to the central defender Dainelli, and he moved forward quickly, ready to play a relaxed one-two with Dainelli.

Chen Yu's purpose was not necessarily to steal the ball, his purpose was to delay Fiorentina's attack, Pasquier crossed, he ignored it, continued to pursue Pasquier, and did not give them a chance to play a one-two.

Dainelli saw that Pasquier could not get rid of Chen Yu's pressing, but he did not dare to stop the ball and choose another spot, because Crouch was pressing towards him.

Dainelli was a solid choice to open wide, and the ball flew across the air towards Liverpool's backfield.

At the end of the first round of attack and defense, Liverpool and Fiorentina each showed their offensive and defensive strength, which was a draw, and Chen Yu's positive attitude reassured Liverpool fans and coaches, they were worried that Chen Yu would be affected by off-field factors today, and now it seems that Chen Yu is professional enough, and today's opening table is very strong to win**.

Dainelli's long pass was aimed at Toney, but with Crouch pressing he didn't have enough time to prepare, his centre-back's footwork was not comparable to that of a midfielder like Alonso, and the ball almost put Toney on the knife as he had to fight with Carragher for the header.

Two people compete for the header like this, and their heads can easily touch each other. But Tony is determined to compete with Chen Yu, and he will not let go of such an opportunity, relying on his height advantage, Tony jumped high and prepared to ferry to his teammates Mutu or Liverani.

Today, Fiorentina is also equipped with a combination of one tall and one fast, but it is equivalent to a weakened version of Liverpool, Toni is 1o cm shorter than Crouch, and Mutu is not as fast as Chen Yu, but even if it is not as tall and fast as the combination of Chen Yu and Crouch, their deterrent power against Florence is definitely not to be underestimated.

Carragher would never dare to let Tony easily play with his teammates, they are tall defenders, and they are very afraid of the fast and dexterous footwork of the viper Mutu, if they are picked up by Mutu, they will definitely be very passive, so Carragher desperately will not let Tony easily get the header.

boom

Toni grabbed the spot, but almost at the same time as Toni reached the ball, Carragher's head behind him was also on Tony's head, and the ball was too forced, and instead of reaching Mutu, it flew to the center circle.

Tony was dizzy by Carragher's blow, but he forced himself to hold himself back, while Carragher crouched down with his head covered.

This is a good opportunity to switch from defense to attack, Liverpool is such an experienced giant, it is impossible to let go of such an opportunity, after seeing that Carragher is not a big problem, immediately Liverpool's captain Gerrard and the forward-defending Reese rushed to the ball, and their striker Chen Yu also quickly retreated, also to grab this landing point, only the slower Crouch is still waiting in the front court to pick up his teammates.
