357 Debuts (B)
"Jankoler, Jankoler. Jankoller scored a goal in Liverpool's first competitive game and it was a beautiful debut. This ball can see the characteristics of Jankoler, and the header is Jankoler's biggest characteristic. It looks like Jankoller has maintained his excellent form in the Shijie Cup for the club. ”
"One to zero, one to zero. With Jankoller's opener, Liverpool took the lead over Tottenham. Liverpool started the game a little passively, but scored a goal with just a simple counter-attack. ”
Jankoller is already 29 years old, and he is playing for the first time in a real European giant. So after scoring the goal, Jankohler was very excited.
Liverpool are Premier League clubs with a lot of homegrown English players. Of course, there is no shortage of internationals from other countries, but Jankoller, who is coming to England for the first time, does not feel strange to Liverpool at all. Because Liverpool have the manager he knows best, and there are former club teammates like Vicente, of course, Gilberto. Silva, Baroshe, teammates from these countries.
"Liverpool! Liverpool! Liverpool! ”
"Hooray! Jankoller! Banzai! Jankoller! ”
Although Jankohler has just arrived at Liverpool, and he replaces Husky, who is preferred by Liverpool fans. But fans are always the easiest, and fans are also the most forgetful. As long as Jankoler can score, they'll back Jankoller and they'll forget about Husky.
In addition to following Jankoller and broadcasting the scene of Jankoller and the Liverpool players celebrating, the broadcast camera also came to Benitez's side. Benitez is a young coach though. But it's also a coach who has the Champions League on his body. As the hottest young coach in European football at the moment, many people still care about Benitez very much. English football is more concerned about Benitez.
After all, the Premier League before this was a two-man rotation of Manchester United and Arsenal. But Liverpool, as the number one giant in England, now has an excellent coach like Benitez, and many people in English football want to see if Liverpool will really rise. Therefore, the footage of this game is on Benitez's side several times.
In the summer transfer, Benitez's transfer was criticized. Because in their opinion, the players brought in by Benitez have too much to do with him. Benitez in the camera is just a simple applause, as usual. But Benitez was very happy in his heart. Because his descendant disciple Yan Kohler is very competitive. Jankoller's performance is good for Benitez to gain a foothold in Liverpool.
When kick-off was resumed, Rafa Benitez stepped forward and beckoned Gerrard to come over. Benitez couldn't grasp Gerrard's position for a while, but Gerrard's all-round made Benitez like it very much. Because when you need a position, you can just bring Geraldra back.
"Steven, don't limit yourself to the right. All the space in the front court can be used. I don't limit yourself to where you are. You can find your own position on the field. ”
Benitez didn't just spend time in Spain. While working at Real Madrid, he also studied in places like Italy and England. Although it was not for a long time, his English was still good.
Gerald nodded. Steven Gerrard is an English midfielder, but what sets him apart from those English midfielders is that he's more explosive, quicker and passes the ball better than them. And that's not all. Steven Gerrard's possession and dribbling are also stronger than the traditional England midfielders. It's fair to say that Gerrard doesn't just bring together all the good things in English midfield. And he's stronger and more versatile than the traditional English midfielders.
'Steven Gerrard started the game on the right. But as the game progressed, we could see that Gerrard didn't have a fixed position. Benitez should not have found the best position for Gerrard. ”
Gilberto. Silva and Hamann are both very defensive, with Tottenham players not dominating in midfield. Especially after Harman began to follow Poyet, the thirty-four-year-old Poyet was greatly weakened. Poyet is the heart of Tottenham's midfield. After he turned off the fire, Tottenham's attack was also blocked.
And as Gerrard runs more and more in midfield, Liverpool slowly dominate the field. Gerrard doesn't just go forward to attack, he also drops back to defend. Steven Gerrard's all-round play has added a notch to Liverpool's midfield quality.
"Poyet, give the ball to Anderton. Hamann was successful in defending Poyet, who tried unsuccessfully to break through Haman on several occasions. The thirty-year-old Hamann defense Jishu is really getting more and more mature. ”
Poyet couldn't break through Haman. At the age of 34, except for the ability to control the ball, he has not declined, and everything else has dropped a notch. In particular, the lack of explosiveness makes it difficult to break through a good defender like Hamann. So the ball was handed to Anderton on the right. Anderton is also difficult at the moment, although he plays as a right midfielder, he is definitely not the kind of wide player who has a strong ability to break through. In the face of Risser's several breakthroughs in dresses, he was unable to break through. So the cross could only be reluctantly made.
"Anderton, cross. The ball was barely passed, and Hyypia pushed it out. Gerrard got the ball, Gerrard made a long pass! ”
Anderton's cross was poor, so Hyypia easily headed the ball out. Gerrard stepped forward to receive the ball without any pause. Gerrard's turn was immediately followed by a long pass.
Just like the cross, Gerrard's passing is very powerful and very fast, which is one of the characteristics of Gerrard's passing. Some players who are not familiar with Gerrard's passing style are very uncomfortable with his style and simply can't stop his ball. Later, the best fit for Gerrard to pass the ball was Torres. Fernando Torres was able to easily latch on to Gerrard's pass and finish off the ball every time.
Now Liverpool also have Gerrard's best partner, and that is Owen. Owen and Steven Gerrard have played together since the Academy and know each other very well and have a very good understanding of each other. Houllier actually used the tacit understanding of the two of them to fight back last season. Of course, Benitez will not change this one, because this routine is already the most coordinated routine when Liverpool counterattacks. Therefore, after he turned around, he immediately handed a long pass to Owen in front.
"Owen, Owen and Gerald really have a heart. Owen started up quickly and he got rid of Ledley. Gold. ”
Ridley. Kim is a centre-back with strong frontal defensive ability. Thierry Henry once recalled his Premier League games and thought that the most difficult centre-back to play against was Ledley. Gold. Thierry Henry has been a big hit at Arsenal and no defender in the Premier League can stop him. But every time Henry mentions Ridley. Kim, are very admired. It can be seen that Ridley. How tough Kim's frontal defense is.
But in the face of Owen's anti-offside position Ridley. Kim is hard. Because Owen is too explosive, his speed is too fast, and more importantly, Owen is very flexible, and it is most suitable to deal with English central defender Owen. So Owen is in Ridley. Kim reacted before he had successfully won the ball from Gerrard in an offside position. If it's any other striker who isn't familiar with Steven Gerrard, it's definitely a big stoppage. But Owen is different. He didn't stop the ball, but went straight to the front. This time, Owen faced the Tottenham goalkeeper directly.
"Owen, Owen is already a one-man knife. Owen, shoot! ”
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Owen, Owen. This is the most classic Liverpool style of play, Gerrard's passing, Owen's counterattack. 2-0, at the end of the first half, Liverpool led Tottenham 2-0 with Owen's goal. Coach Benitez's first game was a success. ”
With Owen's goal, the entire Anfield stadium erupted in huge cheers. No matter how successful a player like Jankoler is at Liverpool, he can't compare to Owen and Gerrard. Because Gerrard and Owen are Liverpool's own people, they are Liverpool bred. So Liverpool fans cheered for Owen and Steven Gerrard much more than Jankoller's goal.
After Owen scored, he was also waiting for Gerrard, who had an assist for him, to come up. Then the two of them hugged each other and celebrated. It can be said that Gerrard and Owen are the best representatives of Liverpool's academy now.
"Daniel, how's it going?"
Although the game was passive, Daniel. There was no angry look on Levy's face. If every game is angry, Daniel. Levy, Tottenham chairman, doesn't have to do anything.
"Owen is strong."
Rist smiled. Owen is really strong at the moment, and if it weren't for the injury, Owen's achievements could be great. Rist didn't follow Daniel. Levy said with a smile: "Daniel, Coach Hoddle can't keep up with the development of football anymore. ”
"Huh."
Daniel. Levy did not directly answer Lister's words. But I also agree with Rist's words in my heart. As English football became more and more influenced by continental football, many of the older English coaches began to be eliminated. The same goes for coaches who have achieved a lot of success.
It's not just Hoddle, it's Dalglish and Graham. They have achieved great things, but they have not been able to keep up with the development of football.
"Daniel, I'm still saying that. Know Redknapp. If you want to find a coach like Redknapp, it will definitely take Tottenham to the next level. And don't envy Irving, if you trust me, I can give you a striker as good as Irving. ”
"Coach Redknapp?"
Daniel. Levy didn't care about Lister's words in the back. Because there can be a few strikers of Owen's level in European football, even a super agent like Rist can't just take it out. But the coach he wanted to change for a long time.
Redknapp? Could he really be? (To be continued......)
PS: Two shifts today. I hope these days will pass soon.
