Liverpool 6:1 Celtic
Although I know that this is not a score that can really reflect the strength of the two teams, I got a full second half of playing time, and the result of 1 goal and 2 assists still makes Zhao Yuyu more satisfied!
The two central defenders in this game are Hyypia and Carragher, and the two gates are Finnan and Reese; The hub of the midfield is Hamann and Biscayne, and the wings are Colwill and Smitchell; Up front are Owen and Barosh.
In the 4th minute, Baros made a free kick, and the European Cup Golden Boot is still very deterrent! Hamann took the penalty, flicked to the left, Reeser shot hard, shot through the wall, 1-0, Liverpool took the lead!
In the 17th minute, Reese's long pass from 35 meters away found Owen, Owen started to receive the ball, directly shook off the opponent, burst into the penalty area and shot a shot, rewriting the score to 2-0. For the rest of the first half, Liverpool didn't play any more and the scene fell silent!
In the second half, Benitez replaced Zhao Yuyu, Gerrard and Salif in midfield, and changed the forward line to Cisse and Pongele.
Zhao Yuyu took Colwill's place and stood on the left flank.
Soon after the opening, Zhao Yuyu took the ball for the first time and cut directly to the middle, walked along the outside of the big penalty area to the middle, passed to Cisse, and after leading away the defenders, he shot directly, and the football went straight into the near corner!
Zhao Yuyu happily ran to celebrate, although it was only a friendly match, but it was always the first goal of the senior team: Mr. Benitez, I have a lot of skills!
It's a pity that this gentleman values his tactics the most, and he is still shouting and commanding, and I can't see if he is happy!
In the 62nd minute, after Cisse received a single shot from Pongler and hit the post, he grabbed the ball again and passed it to Zhao Yuyu in front of the arc of the penalty area.
Zhao Yuyu accelerated into the penalty area, and then knocked the ball back in front of the goal, and Cisse rushed to it in one fell swoop.
4:0!
In the 69th minute, Zhao Yuyu made a long pass to the penalty area, and the defender who was competing for a header with Cisse put the ball in front of Henkoz, who volleyed and the ball hung in the dead corner of the net.
5:0!
In the 72nd minute, Celtic were awarded a penalty kick which was converted by Craig Beatty.
5:1!
In the 76th minute, Zhao Yuyu cut inside again, attracting many defenders to block, Zhao Yuyu stuffed the ball from the gap to Cisse, who shook the central defender and hit the target before the goalkeeper fell to the ground.
6:1!
In the 80th minute, it was Cisse again! The guy shot straight at the edge of the box and hit the post!
Before the end of the game, Zhao Yuyu took advantage of the Celtic's defense line to be too pressed, picked up a pass in the penalty area, and Cisse ran to the position, but unfortunately his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper!
In the end, the score of 6:1 was maintained to the end, and after the game, Cisse also deliberately found Zhao Yuyu to praise him in broken English, which Zhao Yuyu accepted calmly - this performance is really good!
Before the second game began, Spanish defender Jose Jose rushed to the United States to join the team.
Is this what Benitez said about Spain's strong reinforcements, and Liverpool's reliance on technological transformation? Zhao Yuyu's face is full of question marks?
However, the news that Owen's contract renewal is about to be successful, and the weekly salary will reach 100,000 pounds makes Zhao Yuyu even more sideways - this is the top salary of the Premier League, which shows the importance that the club attaches to Owen!
……
Liverpool's second game drew 1-1 with new European champions Porto.
In this game, Liverpool Owen and Cisse partnered for the first time, Whitbright and Warnock appeared in the backline, Reese moved forward to play left midfield, and Gerrard made his first start after the European Championship.
Porto left coach Jose Mourinho and a large number of key players, and the new coach Del Neri's squad included Quaresma, who had returned from Barcelona.
In the 24th minute, Cisse received Gerrard's overhead ball and volleyed high from the right side of the penalty area.
In the 28th minute, Porto's Delle burst into the right side of the penalty area and caused a scuffle, and Quaresma hit the post with a shot from 30 meters in front of the goal!
In the 34th minute, Porto took a high ball from the right, and McCarthy's volley from a tight angle was blocked by Dudek.
In the second half, Benitez replaced Barosh, Colwill, Pongele and others, and the two sides continued to maintain an attacking posture, but there were not many chances in front of goal, only Liverpool took advantage of their height advantage and formed a few threats through set-pieces. In the 61st minute, Liverpool took a free kick and Baroshe's header from 9 yards out was just wide. In the 73rd minute, Liverpool took a free kick from the right and Biscayneth headed high. In the 78th minute, it was again Biscayne who fought for a header that went high.
In the 80th minute, Zhao Yuyu, who thought he was going to sit on the cold bench, replaced Biscayne - okay, the central midfielder is not impossible to try!
Zhao Yuyu quickly felt his struggle in defense!
Zhao Yuyu's defense relies more on predicting the card position, but this requires tacit understanding with teammates, in the case of insufficient tacit understanding, it is inevitable to fight for the body, although Porto players are not known for their physical strength, but it still makes Zhao Yuyu more difficult to deal with!
In the 85th minute, Zhao Yuyu had to choose to pull down his opponent! Porto took a free kick in front, Liverpool leaked in the middle, Jorge Costa got the ball back to the middle and crossed low into the middle, Ricardo Costa leaked the ball, and Alberto, who was outflanked at the back post, pushed into the empty goal with his right foot four meters from goal.
0:1
Liverpool launched a fierce attack after conceding a goal, and Porto was in front of the goal!
Although no one blamed himself, Gerrard also deliberately appeased him, but Zhao Yuyu still felt that it was not a taste, seeing that the game was about to end, Zhao Yuyu rushed straight to the penalty area after receiving the ball, rushed left and right in the penalty area, suddenly deducted a space, pulled out his foot and was about to shoot, but was knocked down all of a sudden!
Penalty kick! Porto's goal-scorer Alberto knocked down Zhao Yuyu, and Gerrard hit the penalty!
1:1! Zhao Yuyu breathed a sigh of relief!
Gerald ran over and hugged Zhao Yuyu, and patted Zhao Yuyu's back hard: "Good boy, good boy!" ”
Zhao Yuyu still enjoys it very much!
……
After the game, several players left the United States - they were sold!
Liverpool's first team has slimmed down to twenty people, which is originally in line with Benitez's strategic thinking, he needs a main frame of about fifteen people, and then add a few more people around the main frame to tinker! But midfielder Smitchell underwent surgery after the European Championship and now there is news that he will be out for up to six months!
This is the main candidate in Benitez's mind, and now this situation is obviously not expected, in the left midfield position, Colwill performed well when he was healthy, but unfortunately this is a glass man; Zhao Yuyu can also play, but his age is still too young.
Benitez needed a key player for his playing years, and he fell in love with Chelsea's Duff, but unfortunately the club had no money and asked him to sell a few players and raise the transfer fee for this valuable transfer on his own.
Chelsea, who have deep pockets, can't look down on this little money, not to mention that the "special one" Mourinho attaches great importance to the wing and is not happy to sell Duff, so the idea is in vain!
