Chapter 227: Substitution Guarding
Thanks to the generous reward of the book friend "[Nangong Aotian]", I continue to ask for member clicks and recommendation votes ^_^
Even if it is only a personal appearance, Gao Jun did not only contribute a goal in the first half, even after being targeted by Carragher, he still used his excellent off-ball running to find a fighter, and set an example for the whole team with his positive attitude, and Gao Jun's positive running also caused an effect that even he was a little surprised at first
"Jamie, what's wrong with you? Is it because you are not feeling well? On the way into the tunnel, Gerrard asked Carragher with concern.
"It's nothing, it's just a little tired." Carragher barely managed to squeeze out a smile in reply, but the uncontrollable panting of breath spoke volumes about how tired he was now
Carragher is definitely the first class in physical fitness among the central defenders, such a good physical fitness, just playing half the ball to make him tired like this, really surprised Liverpool. However, after all, Benitez has a lot of experience, and after asking Carragher, he quickly realized the crux of the problem, "It seems that it is more difficult to keep an eye on that Chinese kid than I originally thought!" β
It turned out that after being ordered to keep an eye on Gao Jun, Carragher had to keep an eye on Gao Jun throughout the whole process, which meant that wherever Gao Jun ran, he had to follow him. However, Gao Jun's running in this game was extremely positive, and the running distance in the first half even exceeded 5ooo meters, except for the attack that caused the score, it was basically a low run of aerobic exercise. It doesn't matter if Gao Jun runs like this, but in this way, Carragher also has to run low with Gao Jun for a long time, and rarely has a chance to rest halfway, so the problem comes out.
You know, the basic responsibilities of the central defender are mainly to plug leaks and save dangers, so the ability to physically fight, jump and compete for the top and sprint is very demanding, these are anaerobic sports, so the muscle type of the central defender is basically based on white muscle with good explosive power but poor endurance (except for East Asia, where white muscle types are more scarce), and more importantly, there are few central defenders running tens of thousands of meters in a game in training and games, so their aerobic endurance cannot be fully exercised. Therefore, even though Gao Jun's physical fitness is not particularly outstanding, because his muscle type is pink muscles with good endurance, and the position he kicks also requires high aerobic endurance, the result of the two chasing like this is even more unbearable for Carragher
"It's true that I was negligent, following a player all the way, a task like 'Duzi', for central defenders, it is not very common, and it is generally done by the midfielder", Benitez thought of this, and had an idea in his heart, when the defender Mascherano called over, "Gao Jun will be handed over to you, I believe that your physical strength is enough to entangle him to exhaustion, so that they don't want to play any tricks"
As we all know, the aerobic endurance of the back waist, especially the defensive back waist, is leveraged, and Gao Jun and Mascherano are definitely not good to eat when they run long distances. As for the Kualin, who has no one to specifically keep an eye on, since the degree he activated is not as exaggerated as the Gao Army, he doesn't have to worry about letting Carragher pay attention to the defense protection, anyway, Carragher was free after relieving himself of the heavy responsibility of staring at the Gao Army.
"Huh? Someone else is staring at me? In the second half, as soon as Gao Jun walked on the field, he saw the changes in the Liverpool team, and he couldn't help but scratch his head slightly, "If you run long distances with Mascheranoby, even if I am fully mature in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, let alone now, it seems that the strategy must be changed in the second half."
As a result, after the start of the second half, Gao Jun could no longer see the active running of the first half, and returned to the "walking" rhythm that he was most familiar with when he was a player before the crossing. However, due to the manager's strict orders, even if Gao Jun is just walking on the field, Mascherano has to follow closely, which is equivalent to Gao Jun abolishing an important main force of the Liverpool team without doing anything.
Moreover, although Mascherano is a few centimeters shorter than Gao Jun, his weight is several kilograms larger than Gao Jun, and his strength is far better than the current Gao Jun, and his instantaneous start and prediction ability is not much inferior to Gao Jun, which is enough to interfere with Gao Jun's ball advancement at the first time, which can be said to almost reduce the possibility of Gao Jun riding alone again to zero. But as a traverser, Gao Jun knows that Mascherano has a rather fatal weakness - there are many low-level mistakes, especially when receiving the ball and short passes, if this point is caught, it will definitely make Benitez, who sent Mascherano to target Gao Jun, regret it
Of course, strictly speaking, Mascherano's problem is not as strict as Cheng DΓΉ, who comes several times in every game, and he is protected by a central defender behind him when he plays in the back, so this can only be regarded as a minor flaw at best, which is not enough to affect his status as a world-class defensive midfielder. However, once Mascherano plays as a central defender, as the last line of defense before the goalkeeper, his flaw is very fatal, and those teams that have done so in history have almost without exception been punished, the worst of which is the Argentine national team under the coaching of Maradona, and even almost overturned by the South Korean team that is far inferior to itself in the quarterfinals.
And now Mascherano follows Gao Jun throughout the whole process, and Gao Jun is always at the front, he naturally becomes the de facto central defender, and he is also a lagging central defender, once he makes a low-level mistake, Gao Jun, who has an unparalleled ability to seize opportunities, will never waste it.
But then again, now that there is only half time left in this game, the possibility of Mascherano playing with fire is actually not too great, so Gao Jun can only be "ready at any time", but he will not pin his hopes on "undercover".
However, even if Gao Jun was temporarily confined to death, perhaps due to the lead in the score, or perhaps because of the wide sweep without Mascherano in the midfield, the table of the Eastern team in the second half was still better than the first half, and in the 49th minute, the Eastern team even passed the ball into the Liverpool penalty area for the first time in this game (Gao Jun's goal was brought in by him). However, the Liverpool team's defense was very fast, and Gao Jun was forced to turn around by the sandwich defense of Mascherano and Hyypia, but in this case, he unexpectedly shot directly at the goal, which shocked the Liverpool team into a cold sweat. But Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina is worthy of being one of the best goalkeepers in world football now, always maintaining a strong concentration, and the goal-line technology is really good, in the face of Gao Jun's sudden cold shot, he jumped up without panic and lightly stretched his ape arm, confiscated the ball shot by Gao Jun directly, and quickly got up and threw the ball to move the fast attack!
