Marseille's goal was cancelled and Ziani received a yellow card, which had a certain impact on Marseille's morale, and the Liverpudlians took the opportunity to launch a counterattack to try to snatch back control of the midfield. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Alonso's speed is not good, and if the overall formation is not improved, he himself will not dare to go up easily, at this time Mascherano and Benayoun became the vanguard, and the two took the lead in attacking Marseille's half.

Benayoun had been frustrated in front of Cenden and had few chances to break through, but this time he was supported by Mascherano and he was very determined to dribble towards Cenden.

Zenden had already built up confidence in Benayoun, and when he saw Benayoun coming with the ball, he didn't let his teammates come up to help, and while he met him, he asked his teammates to cut off Benayoun's passing lanes.

Benayoun's technique and speed are not bad, and he swayed his upper body two times in a row, and immediately started quickly to prepare to break through Cendon from one side.

Cendon was not busy running with Benayoun, first pulled Benayoun with his arm to stop Benayoun's speed, and then quickly leaned over to find a physical confrontation.

As soon as Benayoun saw that he was not able to completely leave Cendon alone, he knew that he couldn't take the ball away, and he was definitely not as good as Cendon in terms of body, even if he was entangled for a while, the Marseille players would surround him, and at this time Benayoun did not continue to control the ball as he had done the previous times, and quickly passed the ball to Mascherano who came over.

If Cendon hadn't let him cut off Benayoun's passing lane, the other Marseille players would have come over to wrap it up, or at least move to this side, but Cendon had to go head-to-head with Benayoun, and the Marseille players would have cut off Benayoun and the other players' passing lanes, and when Benayoun passed the ball to Mascherano, Marseille captain Cana suddenly came out and stole the ball before Mascherano got the ball.

Mascherano counter-attacked on the spot, and Kana handled the ball quickly, quickly passing the ball to his team-mate Nasri, hoping to let his attacking engine handle the ball.

The praying mantis pounced on the sparrow, and Cana broke the ball and passed, dodging Mascherano's counter-attack, and was happy when he suddenly noticed a Liverpool player rushing out from behind Nasri and stretching out his foot to break the ball.

It was Chen Yu who broke the ball, he had very little time to get the ball in front, Crouch was too tall and not suitable for defense, it was too wasteful for the two to stay in front, Chen Yu had a lot of time to return to the midfield, just now he saw Cana break the ball, and guessed that Kanna should pass to Nasri, who was in a good position and good at attacking, so he ran in advance and stole the ball.

Chen Yu is the number one enemy in the hearts of the Marseille people, as soon as he gets the ball, all the Marseille people are nervous, and the nearby Marseille players invariably surround Chen Yu.

Seeing so many people rushing towards him, Chen Yu was surprised and a little proud, Marseille seemed to be too afraid of himself, he didn't dare to hold it up, so many people surrounded him, he didn't say that it was difficult to break through, it was difficult to pass the ball out, he rubbed the ball up and passed it to Crouch at the first time.

After passing the ball, Chen Yu ran quickly and wanted to play a wall match with Crouch.

Crouch's start today is to be a bridgehead, not to score goals, seeing Chen Yu's passing and running, Crouch did not hesitate to use his height to head the ball a little, and pushed the ball to Chen Yu's running line.

Chen Yu was very fast, running without the ball was almost unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the encirclement of the midfielders and got the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

Without exception, this time Marseille's players once again gave up defending against other players and surrounded Chen Yu who was holding the ball.

Chen Yu can pass the ball to the object of Crouch and Benayoun on the side at the moment, but Benayoun's position is behind, Chen Yu has to wait for him to run from the side after passing to him, although Benayoun runs to the bottom line is two seconds, but at this time, a second can not wait, one second is enough for Marseille's players to return to the penalty area, Chen Yu decisively rubbed the ball to the penalty area, let Crouch go to grab the header.

Crouch quickly ran to the penalty area after the ferry, Chen Yu passed the ball to the penalty area, his people also arrived, facing the attacking goalkeeper Mandana, Crouch headed a little, and the ball flew into the net from Mandana's ribs.

However, just as Crouch ran to Chen Yu to celebrate, he found that the linesman was raising the flag and the referee was waving at him.

"Offside?"

Crouch was furious, he felt he wasn't offside.

"What ****** I was offside?!"

Crouch yelled at the referee, and Chen Yu also looked at the referee Prout in confusion, he was worried that Prouch had just awarded Marseille an offside goal, and this time he wanted to find a balance.

The referee, Plautz, was reluctant to explain to them, and only said "obey the referee's decision" and walked away.

Crouch still wanted to continue to plead, but Chen Yu quickly pulled him back, "Okay, okay, don't say it again, if you want to eat red and yellow cards, then continue." ”

Crouch has not yet lost his mind, accepted the reality of offside and did not continue to anger the referee.

The game continued, the two sides continued to strangle in the midfield, Liverpool improved the passive situation after Chen Yu frequently retreated to the midfield, although it cannot be said to have the upper hand, but at least it can be on par with Marseille, but after Chen Yu retreated, he was far away from the goal and could not directly launch an offensive, and the threat to Marseille's goal was reduced, and he did not create a few opportunities to shoot.

Marseille's main energy is spent on the control of the midfield, the purpose is actually more to cut off the connection between Liverpool's midfield and forwards, midfielders and defenders, as for the attack, because Liverpool's defenders do not assist much, most of the time to maintain a complete defensive line, they have not been able to form a chance to shoot in the Liverpool penalty area again, and the only few shots on goal are only long shots that do not hit the goal frame.

In the first half, the two sides fought very fiercely, but no one could help the other, so they could only shake hands and make peace.

When the players from both sides came off the pitch, the Liverpool fans were not very satisfied with the game, but still sent their players back to the dressing room with applause.

The players were also not happy with their performances and went back to the dressing room to discuss the problems of the game, with coach Rafael Benitez returning to the dressing room for about five minutes.

Benitez did not directly criticize the performance of the players in the first half, but said that the players were too entangled in the midfield in the first half and did not hand the ball to the striker smoothly, which was the main reason for the passivity in the first half, because after losing Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield has no advantage, and Marseille's midfield has one more player, and it is too difficult for Liverpool to control the midfield.

Benitez made a tactical adjustment, allowing Liverpool to avoid the entanglement of the midfield in the second half, launching an attack from two wings, and if the side is blocked, he will launch more long passes, even if the efficiency is not high, he must try, Liverpool is stronger than Marseille on the front line, and must give full play to Chen Yu's strong scoring ability to let him face the goal directly.

In addition, Benitez criticized Liverpool's players for not naming Cisse, Cenden, and Sheroux for restricting too little, and the activity of the three of them was the main reason why Liverpool was very passive in the opening period of the first half, and Benitez hoped that the players would not give them too much room to move in the second half, and if they continued to be excited, they would use fouls to knock down their momentum.

Benitez saw some problems with Liverpool in the first half, and made changes and adjustments, but he did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup, judging from the situation in the first half of the game, Crouch had a height advantage, but did not play much of a role, because the physical confrontation did not have any advantage, he did not receive many long passes, and because the height was too high, the return defense became a problem, and could only stay at the front of the opponent's penalty area, unable to retreat to respond, could not provide too much help to the midfield, if replaced with active running, Kuyt, who is physically strong and has a better understanding with Chen Yu, may have a better effect, but Benitez has always been very stubborn and will not easily adjust the starter, so although he sees Crouch's problems, he still hopes that Crouch's air superiority can make up for his shortcomings in the active area.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool took the lead, after the adjustment of the midfield, Liverpool's attack has improved, they are no longer as stubborn as in the first half and Marseille compete for possession, the middle can not be opened on the side, or long passes, and the restrictions on the three Liverpool veterans have also been strengthened, which made Marseille not adapt for a while, and was disrupted by Liverpool.

It was only less than three minutes before the scene began, and Chen Yu returned to the center circle and broke the ball at high speed from the side, walking on Cen Deng's side.

Cen Deng was very successful in defending Benayoun in the first half, and he was a little too confident in himself, when facing Chen Yu, he actually did not retreat as quickly as possible, waiting for his teammates to respond, and tried to destroy Chen Yu's dribbling with a foul, but was divided by the ball, resulting in the result that his wing had to face Chen Yu alone.

When Chen Yu hit the front of the penalty area from the side, Crouch had already hit the penalty area of Marseille, Chen Yu did not go down, and directly passed the ball into the penalty area at 45 degrees to find Crouch.

Chen Yu wanted Crouch to give full play to the advantage of his height, and passed a banana ball that rotated inward, and the ball flew very high, so he looked for Crouch.

But Marseille's defenders are also thieves, they obviously can't top the ball, but one player desperately uses his body to push Crouch to prevent him from comfortably competing for the top, and the other player jumps high to interfere with Crouch.

Crouch has mostly been a substitute for Kuyt in the past year, and he didn't start much, and today's starting state was average, Chen Yu passed the ball to him very well, but under the interference of the opponent, he was not able to hit the target, and the ball flew high over the crossbar.

Although the attack was not successful, it boosted the morale and confidence of the Liverpool players, who were more determined to attack from the wings, and the fans in the stands also cooperated, they made a wave of people, and shouted, so that Liverpool's momentum rose wave after wave, and the Marseille players retreated step by step, and finally retreated to their own half to barely stabilize the situation.

Gillette, the owner of Liverpool sitting in the VIP box, was in a better mood at this time, and when Liverpool's offensive was at its strongest, he couldn't help but stand up and applaud.

Marseille's male boss Robert didn't say anything yet, but the female boss Margarita lowered her face and whispered to Robert, not knowing what she was talking about, but judging from her expression, she was probably dissatisfied with Marseille's performance.

On the sidelines, Marseille manager Gretz couldn't sit still, he replaced Ziani, who received a yellow card in the first half, and replaced striker Niang, changing the formation to 442.
