Chapter 992: Guardian of Anfield

Benitez's substitution was a forced substitution, but the substitution adjustment was still very powerful, fully demonstrating his world-class commander's battlefield insight and tactical adjustment ability. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pennant came on the field to increase the attack power of the side and the technical content of the midfield, Kuyt came on the field to improve the ability of the striker to return to defense, and also partially liberated Chen Yu, because Crouch has no ability to return to defense, Chen Yu must often retreat to the midfield, and Kuyt can return to defense, but also pull the side, with this model worker-like partner, Chen Yu can rest assured to attack.

Liverpool's attack was interrupted by Marseille's goal for a few minutes, and after Benitez's two successive substitutions, Liverpool gradually found the feeling of attacking again, and the Marseilles gradually shrank back because of the lead, relying on their own half to play defensive counterattacks, which also made Liverpool's attack easier, unlike the original difficult to pass the ball from the back to the front. More importantly, due to the reduced pressure on Liverpool's defense, the two fullbacks have also been liberated, and they have pressed from almost the front to the midfield to assist the attack, so that the ball cleared by Marseille has basically fallen into the hands of Liverpool, and Liverpool's attack has become more continuous, and the pressure on the Marseille penalty area has also increased.

In the 72nd minute of the game, Finnan crossed from the side, Chen Yu, Kuyt and Benayoun shot three arrows together, rushed into the penalty area to grab points, Marseille defended in the penalty area There are also a lot of players, their main energy is not to grab points, but to interfere with Liverpool's players to grab points, under the interference of Marseille players, Benayoun at the front point was not able to grab the landing point, Chen Yu did not have the top force under the entanglement of the two players, the angle was not right, and the ball flew out against the crossbar.

There was a cry of regret in the stands, and Benitez almost jumped up, shaking his head regretfully when he saw the ball fly out of the bottom line.

However, this was only the beginning, after Marseille retreated, Liverpool's attack was unstoppable, and they received plenty of support from the forwards as their players almost all played in midfield, with Chen Yu and Kuyt getting shots in quick succession.

In the 75th minute of the game, Pennant suddenly cut inside after breaking through on the side, and made a wall-hitting cooperation with Chen Yu, and shot at the edge of the penalty area, but there were many players inside and outside the penalty area, and Pennant's shot hit the player's leg and bounced out.

The ball fell in front of Mascherano, who lifted his foot and fired again, which flew high over the crossbar.

Marseille goalkeeper Mandana took the ball in goal, Cisse and Niang did not compete for Liverpool's centre-back, and the ball was headed by Hyypia to Liverpool midfielder Marcos Alonso.

Alonso glanced at his team-mates up front as he picked up the ball, but there was more space on the flank, and he immediately made a long pass to Pennant for him to attack on the wing.

Although Pennant has a good attacking ability on the wing, but now Marseille's players are in their own half, and the half is crowded so much, it is not enough for Pennant to move freely in the crowd, after he got the ball, he paused slightly, and waited for his companion Finnan to come up, before launching a sprint to Marseille's bottom line.

At this time, the Marseille players had moved to the side, trying to encircle Pennant on the wing, Pennant quickly approached the defending Sherou, distributed the ball to Mascherano who came to pick up in the middle, and inserted himself behind Sherou.

Mascherano saw two teammates cut forward from the wing, but he didn't pass the ball to the wing, the Argentine played very thief, he looked at the formation, knew that the Marseille wanted to defend the side, so he rushed forward with the ball, which could not only draw Marseille's attention to the middle, but also help his teammates in the forward line to open up space.

Seeing Mascherano's brave dribbling forward, Benitez nodded, very satisfied with the Argentine's choice, being able to judge the situation and make the right choice, which is the basic requirement of a good midfielder, if Mascherano continues to grow like this, without burning the CPU, there will be no problem to succeed Alonso in the future.

Mascherano's sudden dribbling forward made the Marseilles a little unprepared, they all thought that Liverpool was going to attack the wing, but they didn't expect Mascherano to break through with the ball from the middle, pointing directly at the middle of the Marseille penalty area, and the Marseille players had to concentrate their forces in the middle to block Mascherano's dribbling line.

Mascherano still did not pass the ball in the face of Marseille midfielder Nasri, who pounced first, he was more excited after seeing Nasri score, and he pounced a little fast, Mascherano boldly changed direction and shook Nasri over.

The Marseilles, who had gathered in the middle, were still a little hesitant, not knowing if Mascherano was a feint, and now they were all resolute to come over to surround Mascherano.

Mascherano passed the ball at this time, but he still did not distribute the ball to the wing, but rubbed the ball up and passed it to Chen Yu, who was standing at the front of the penalty area.

It was another unexpected pass.

Chen Yu and Kuyt were both marked by opponents, and it was difficult to hold the ball at this time, and even if they did, they couldn't turn around and get rid of it.

So why did Mascherano pass it on to himself?

Chen Yu looked at the side when the ball flew over, and immediately understood Mascherano's intentions, he did not stop the ball, he swung the ball to the side with his back to the Marseille defender, fell and turned, and slid into the penalty area with a lightning reflex.

And almost at the same time as Chen Yu, Kuyt did not step forward, but moved laterally behind Chen Yu.

This is a beautiful match, Chen Yu's header ferrying and reflexive insertion are flawless, his header is just ferryed to Finnan's face, yes, it is Finnan, at this moment Pennant attracted the attention of the side defense, Fennan overtook him from behind, Chen Yu just gave him a advance, Fennan didn't have to slow down, got the ball and then took a big step forward, immediately passed the ball to the penalty area, looking for Chen Yu on the point.

Finnan received the ball comfortably, the ball was accurate, and the timing of the pass was also very reasonable, which was the line that Chen Yu inserted, but this distance made it very difficult for the goalkeeper to attack.

It was a pass that satisfied Finnan so much that he even thought it was his best cross of the season.

Chen Yu's header ferried, Finnan crossed from the side, the time spent in the middle was only two or three seconds, and the time for Mandana to react was very short, but Mandana still returned to the middle of the goal at the fastest time, but Finnan's pass was too uncomfortable for him, Finnan did not go to the bottom, and passed the ball out when he was still two or three steps away from the bottom line, this distance is the distance that Mandana may not be able to get the ball, because Chen Yu, who grabbed the point, was too fast.

After an extremely brief hesitation, Mandana chose to attack, not to attack, waiting for Chen Yu's header is waiting for death, the distance is too close.

However, if Mandana strikes at the first time, there is still a one-third chance of getting the ball, a little hesitation, he may not have it at all, Chen Yu accurately grabbed the landing point before Mandana's hand arrived, he lightly, the ball flew from Mandanna's hand into the net behind him.

Marseille goalkeeper Mandana did everything he could, but Chen's header was so close to goal that even the likes of the world's best goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffonciech couldn't touch the ball.

The goal was unmistakable, and referee Plautz pointed his finger to the center circle to signal that the goal was valid.

1:1

Chen Yu was not too excited after the goal, he was knocked down by Mandana when he just shot, at this time he stood up unhurriedly, covered his ears with his palms, and arrogantly asked the fans for applause.

Liverpool fans were ready to applaud for a long time, but because of the impact of the offside goal in front, the fans were worried about being slapped in the face, so they still waited for Plautz to point to the center circle before applauding wildly, chanting Chen Yu's name, "Chen! Old! Chen ......"

The applause was like a tsunami, and in the applause of the fans, the Liverpool owner Gillette in the VIP box was even more excited than the Robert couple just now, he jumped up violently, waved his hands like messy branches in the wind, and shouted in his mouth, "Chen Chen, you are really the guardian of Liverpool!" ”

Robert and his wife have long heard of Chen Yu's name, and they have also seen Chen Yu's game from the video and TV, and know that this is a powerful killer, but only by watching the scene can they know how powerful Chen Yu is, so to speak, the game has played until now, Marseille has never relaxed its defense against Chen Yu for a minute, but Chen Yu can create a threat as long as he gets the ball, and now, it is Chen Yu who breaks the goal of Marseille.

"Awesome! It's really amazing! ”

Robert held his wife's hand and said with infinite emotion.

Margarita's eyes flashed with a strange light, and said: "If you don't move, you will kill, this is the real killer, compared to Chen, Cisse and Niang are weak." ”

Robert smiled and said, "This is not a level, Chen should be the World Footballer of the Year this year." ”

Margarita said with a serious face: "I'm worried that our people won't be able to look at him and let him break the door again." ”

Robert comforted his wife and said: "Probably not, he only got a chance to score once after 70 minutes, Gretz and his players should be more vigilant, I think if we don't have bad luck, maybe we can get a draw." ”

Margarita obviously did not relax because of her husband's comfort, and she said softly: "This is difficult to say, I think this Chinese is very mysterious and powerful." ”

Marseille coach Gretz on the sidelines looked at the Liverpool players celebrating passionately on the field, his heart was cold, he saw not only the score being equalized, he also saw the change of the opponent's tactics, the improvement of morale, and the improvement of luck, all of which was not good for Marseille, although there were only twenty minutes left in the game, but Gretz could not even see the hope of a draw, he felt that if he did not make changes and continued to play like this, Liverpool would score 90% of the goals, but how to change?

With time to think about it, the Liverpool players and fans were celebrating, and referee Plautz didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it, so Gretz called the assistant coaches over to discuss what to do next.

The assistant coaches expressed their opinions, and some believed that the starting point of Liverpool's attack was on the wing, and Liverpool's wing attack should be choked; Some believe that Liverpool's point grabbing in the middle is the key, and the defense at the front of the penalty area should be thickened; Some people think that Chen Yu is the key to winning or losing, and the top priority is to watch Chen Yu first.

Gretz groaned for a while, waved his hand to the chattering crowd, signaled them to stop arguing, he already had an idea, and then he went to the bench to call Arache, explained a few things to do on the field, and replaced Sheroux at the time of a dead ball, and switched Ala.
