668 The First Shot of the Young Marshal (Part II)
Denelson was panicked. Don't look at Arsenal's auspicious three treasures are very famous, in fact, they are all young players. Like Denelson, it has been many years since he became famous. He was the captain of Brazil's Under-15 to Under-19 teams, leading the Under-17 national team to win the South American championship and the world runner-up. He has just arrived at Arsenal and has been able to play in the Arsenal first team in his first season. He was already a regular at Arsenal in 2007 when he was just 19 years old. Among the auspicious three treasures, the talent is the best, the first to be famous, and the first to become the main force in Arsenal. But don't look at his five or six years of fame, in fact, he just passed his twenty-third birthday a month ago.
It didn't take long to start the game and conceded a goal, and it was just cut off by Vidal. This made the young player very nervous, how to say that this is the Carabao Cup final. He's been at Arsenal for so many years and it's the first time he's played in a final like this. Under the tension, Denelson entered a new vicious circle. Pass the ball when you take it, pass it when you get it. I didn't dare to dribble the ball at all.
"Cazorla, give the ball to Song. Song passed the ball to Denilson, who gave it to Wilshere. The ball was passed so badly. ”
Cazorla couldn't stand it in front, and Arsenal's garbage midfielder made him very uncomfortable in front. When I used to partner with Cesc Fabregas, it was really a fairy partner. Cesc Fabregas controlled the tempo of the game, and Cazorla just had to find an open space and then attack. But since Cesc Fabregas's injury, he has become the Denilson, who only knows how to dribble slowly in midfield. This made Cazorla quite dissatisfied.
So this time Cazorla dropped back and helped the midfielder to control the ball. But the ball was still at Denilson's feet. Seeing Vidal coming over in a menacing manner, Denilson panicked and could only pass the ball to Wilshere.
Wilshere's position at this time was very bad. There is Vidal in front and has not yet passed, and there is Lucas next to him. However, Wilshere is quite good at his skills and he has always been a player with a lot of self-confidence. It doesn't matter how many people are next to him, he just pulls the ball and turns around and breaks through next to Lucas. It's a pity that there is another person behind him.
"Wilshere, nice break...... No, Gerrard, Gerrard broke the ball! ”
Gerald's reaction was quick. The moment Wilshere pulled the ball and turned, he came behind Wilshere. Stretching his foot and breaking the ball.
"Gerald. Long pass! ”
Gerald is relocated by Simeone. Originally a powerful attacker, a super attacking midfielder who scored more than 20 goals in a season. But now he is slowly retreating and has become the heart of the midfield that controls Liverpool's tempo. Although I didn't get used to it at first, it took more than half a year. Steven Gerrard's performance in this position is getting better and better. Gerrard, in particular, is already very good at long passing. Perfect for the location.
"Royce. Reus is on the left. Reus stopped the ball with his left foot and Sagna came over. ”
That's how Royce is. Simeone doesn't have a lot of restrictions on Reus's position, and Reus can determine his position according to the changes on the field. At the time of the first ball. Reuss was up front as a double striker. This time, however, Reus moved to the left and played as a left winger.
"Royce, Royce Breakthrough!"
While stopping the ball with his left foot, Reus pulled the ball over and made an inside appearance. Sagna is a defensive right-back who doesn't rush in. But it's also about being prepared to defend him inside.
But Sagna made such a small change, the moment Sagna was slightly distracted by the defense, Reus kicked the ball forward with his left foot, and then accelerated past Sagna's side. Royce is very fast, and the combination of man and ball is even better. The so-called "little rocket" in history is not boastful. The speed is too fast, the explosive power is too strong, and Sania has no way to do it.
"Brilliant ball splitting. Reus's breakthrough was brilliant, and Reuss was going straight into the box. ”
After Royce got rid of Sania, he didn't care about his teammates and opponents at all. To dribble the ball is to go directly into the penalty area, Sagna has already passed, and Juru comes to defend.
"Royce, face Juru. Royce, smash the ball! ”
When Royce runs with the ball, the ball is not far from Reus's feet, allowing him to control the ball at any time. Royce is fast, but definitely not the type to go far and then keep up with the ball. On the contrary, the ball is at the feet, and the fundamentals are very solid.
Entering the vicinity of the penalty area, in the face of Julu's defense, Reus made a look of breaking through with speed. Jolu is a man of good shape and bravery, and it has worked very well to let him defend one-on-one against the Premier League strikers.
But Julu's shortcomings are more pronounced. Positional sense is not good, and it is easy to be confused by feints in the face of flexible players. Royce simply made a breakthrough, and Julu was immediately fooled. When Djulu moved to the right, Royce immediately smashed the ball with his left foot and pulled the ball back. All at once, there was a huge space for shots.
"Royce, he shook Juru. Reuss, shoot! ”
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Szczesny, he couldn't save the ball. The ball is fast and has a good angle, and it really hangs in the dead corner, and Szczesny has no way to do it. Two to zero, two to zero. Reuss, Reuss' brilliant performance completely broke down Arsenal's defence. Now only 32 minutes have passed, and Roig has already made a pass and a shot to help Liverpool lead Arsenal 2-0. ”
"Marco! Marco! Marco! ”
If you are handsome, you are popular. Among the players Liverpool have brought in this season, Lewandowski has been the best performer, with Subertic and Vidal the second best. Although Reuss also performed well, Reuss made a strong effort three months after joining Liverpool, and he was not as good as the other three.
So far, Reus has only scored four goals and provided four assists for Liverpool. But Reus is definitely the most popular of Liverpool's new signings at the moment. The handsome face and style of playing football are also very popular with fans. Therefore, at present, Reuss is the most sought after by Liverpool fans.
"Look at Reuss' popularity among Liverpool fans. But since the end of October. Royce is getting better and better. He has become one of the best players in Liverpool's front line. This League Cup final is a stage for Royce alone. ”
Reus saw the goal and ran to Simeone excitedly. Speaking of which, Royce was already the main force of Sparta Prague when Heynckes was there. But it wasn't until Simeone arrived at Sparta Prague that his performance improved by leaps and bounds. That's why Royce was very fond of Simeone.
Simeone reached out his fist and touched Royce, then patted Royce on the shoulder. The commentator saw Simeone and began to praise Simeone: "Simeone, 40 years old, has just coached Liverpool this season. His tenure at Liverpool has been a success, as Liverpool are not only fourth in the Premier League, but also ahead of Arsenal in a direct duel. It looks like he's going to win his first League Cup in England. ”
"It's not just that he's done well, he's been very successful in recruiting guys. At the beginning of the season, a lot of people criticized Simeone. The players were all his disciples of Sparta Prague. It is believed that there is some suspicion of nepotism. But it turns out. The four players he brought in from Sparta Prague were all excellent value for money. ”
The narrator has high praise for Simeone.
"John, next year you Liverpool are going to play in the Champions League. It's a two-front battle, and you still have to invest. ”
The current Liverpool squad is very strong. In the first team, there are Lewandowski, Reus, Vidal, Gerrard, Lucas, Subertich, Lennon, Kuyt, Reina. But in terms of bench thickness. Liverpool are woefully lacking at the moment. Last season's signings were just too expensive. In order to bring in Subotic, Vidal, Reus, Lewandowski, Liverpool paid more than 90 million pounds in transfer fees alone, plus other expenditures, and finally exceeded 100 million pounds.
In order to raise so much money. Liverpool is purging a lot of players. Not just for some transfer fees, but to free up salary space. With no Champions League assignments this season, nothing has happened to Liverpool. But if you want to play in the Champions League next season, such a set of lineups will not work at all.
If nothing else, just look at the current opponent Arsenal. Arsenal's main squad is not weak, but while playing the Champions League, the Premier League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup, it will be unbearable after one round. Cesc Fabregas's injury was a fatal blow to Arsenal. Without Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal's midfield is too chaotic.
"As long as we can get into the Champions League, of course we have to invest."
John. Thierry Henry knows that the Champions League is definitely the biggest cornucopia and one of the club's biggest revenues at the moment. How many clubs invested a lot back then, hoping to recover from the Champions League. Arsenal has been so difficult in recent years, and they have been able to persevere, because of the amazing Champions League income.
Of course, with new Premier League contracts starting in the next 13 years, Premier League champions will earn more than Champions League winners. But the current Premier League broadcast fee is not so high, so the Champions League income still belongs to the first. With Liverpool's strength, as long as it enters the Champions League, basically the income of about 30 million pounds is guaranteed.
'Lister, don't forget to give Liverpool more information about players like Marco.'
"Of course."
It's a virtuous circle. If the club has good results, then the income will be high. When the income is high, there is money to continue to buy good players. Buy good players, better results.
Of course, this is the ideal situation. That's what a lot of people think. Leeds United and Dortmund all thought so that year, but unfortunately there was a year when the results were not good, so there was a problem with funds. If the results are not good in the second year, then the club starts to decline. In the end, you can only sell players and pay off debts at the same time. Therefore things are never absolute.
'Vidal, give the ball to Gerrard. Gerald is fast, Song, Song can't keep up with Gerald's pace. ”
Simeone has taken a very aggressive approach to defending midfield. Constant pressure on Arsenal in midfield, with frequent mistakes in the midfield. Whether it's Wilshire or Denilson, it's all the same. After Vidal broke Denilson's ball again, he handed it to Gerrard, who was cut in behind.
Gerrard may have dropped back to play in the midfield, but his explosiveness and speed are still there. When he stepped in to break through Alexander Song, Song couldn't keep up with Gerard at all. Alexander Song was not a fast midfielder, and in the face of Gerrard, who was very explosive, he lost his position directly.
"Lewandowski and Reus, they spread out to give Gerrard a chance. Gerrard, shoot! ”
Lewandowski and Reus pressed so that the Arsenal backline did not dare to come out at all. Because both of them are fast, explosive strikers, as long as they are let go, Gerrard's pass will immediately appear to have a chance on goal. Therefore, they did not dare to steal, which just gave Gerrard a huge space to shoot from distance.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
"In the League Cup final, there is no suspense. At 3-0, Gerrard's goal at the end of the first half sealed the game. Liverpool are on the verge of winning this year's Carabao Cup. (To be continued......)
