Volume 1 The Red Sun Rises Chapter 54 The Cold Wind Blows (I)
Zhao Yuyu, who had arranged the little brother, was still in a happy mood until he came to cold Greece.
Zhao Yuyu tightened his coat, but in fact, it was not only the cold wind in Greece that made him feel cold, but also the unacceptable situation on the field in Liverpool!
Rafael Benitez fielded the same line-up in the Champions League group stage against Olympiacos as they did in the Premier League win over Norwich, but the content was completely different.
The Greeks showed their discipline and were all in retreat, leaving veteran Rivaldo to harass Liverpool's defence and fill their own half.
In such a situation, Cisse simply did not have room to show his pace, and Barosh also looked very uncomfortable in the position of dragging the forward forward.
Garcia's deft dribbling brought Liverpool a couple of good free-kick opportunities, but Barosche and Reese were too high or too wide!
Alonso also seemed to have nothing to do, his passing and dispatching were of little use against such a tightly guarded muscle forest, and when his own team-mates were not good enough......
Zhao Yuyu didn't know what other people thought, he was starting to miss Gerrard, if Gerrard was there, with his impact, the situation might be much better.
"It's a pity that he's going to take an eight-week truce!"
Zhao Yuyu recalled the information he got when he went to visit Gerald, the fifth metatarsal bone was fractured, and he had to rest for two months, and he couldn't quench his thirst!
And then Colwill, who was sitting next to him, had just recovered from an injury, he had a thigh strain before the game against Norwich, and said he had recovered, who knows?
If he's fully fit, he'll be much better at central midfield, or at left central midfield, and getting Garcia in the shadow forward position than he is right now!
And Nunez, who came to Liverpool as part of Owen's transfer, was seriously injured in his first training session, and after finally returning last week, he actually partially tore his ligament in his second training session and will be out again for about six weeks! What position is he playing? Forgot!
……
"Oh God! Once again, Riser came with an anti-aircraft gun! Was there something in the sky that was attracting him? ”
"He was a big disappointment today! What a disaster for Liverpool to face a dense defence today! ”
"The strikers couldn't get to the point, the set-pieces and long-range shots were out of par......
“OH!!! SHIT! Olympiacos has scored! Rivaldo's long-range shot! ”
"Rivaldo's mediocre long-range shot hit Carragher and refracted into the net!"
"Rivaldo's performance today deserved the last goal, the 32-year-old has already broken through Riese, Josemi and Hyypia many times!"
“……”
Those who witnessed the scene could tease the emotions with the fuss of the BBC commentators.
Zhao Yuyu covered his face with both hands and fell to the back of the chair: this is a big trouble, the offense can't open the situation, and the score is still behind......
Benitez was furious, but unfortunately no matter how much command there is, it must be supported by the performance of the players!
Liverpool's performance after conceding the goal did not improve much, and Zhao Yuyu was unsurprisingly instructed to "warm up directly" at half-time......
At the beginning of the second half, Zhao Yuyu came on the field as usual, and this time it was Warnock who was replaced, playing right midfield.
Warnock's performance at both ends of the pitch proved only one thing: he wasn't fit for the Champions League yet.
Zhao Yuyu tried 45° bombing after coming on the field, and the effect was not good as expected, in the case of Carragher and Hyypia being pushed back by Rivaldo, Zhao Yuyu's best choice was to find Baroshe, but Barosh's nerve knife really didn't have a nerve today - it's just that you can't kick the ball if you retreat a few meters back from the initial position?
Looking at Cisse again, Zhao Yuyu decisively stopped thinking - his ability to grab the high point is not as good as Baroshe!
Then there is the combination of the side and the middle, Zhao Yuyu tries to dribble the ball himself or cooperate with Jose Mi who assists him, open the width of the opponent's defense, and then quickly pass the football to the middle or left side, exchanging time for space, hoping that the opponent will have a hole or lack of concentration!
Then I found a helpless old problem, in the case of the striker pulling the crotch, there is one less long-range shot master outside the arc of the big penalty area, Hamann and others are logically okay, but after all, they are older, more inclined to defend, and it is easy to retreat to the front court in time to cause dislocation. That is, less Gerald!
Zhao Yuyu broke through the defense line of Olympiacos with great effort, inverted triangle back pass, at the top of the arc of the big penalty area, after Barosh came to the sky again, he missed Gerrard to the extreme: Brother Thigh must hurry up!
It's not that he doesn't want to pass directly in front of the goal, it's just that the defenders are too dense to penetrate it!
After Reese stepped forward to assist again, but it didn't play a role, and the opponent took advantage of the gap that he didn't return to defend in time to counterattack, Zhao Yuyu kept an eye on it again, and this situation can't occur on the right side - fortunately, it's not Rivaldo who is opposite Reese, otherwise the fun will be great!
……
"After Yu Yu came on the pitch, he did bring a lot of vitality to Liverpool, but it was not enough, Liverpool made the envy of the forward group a few months ago seem to have lost their crosshairs!"
"Another free kick, this time by Yu Yu to take the penalty, his free kick footwork is really good, the arc and strength are very perfect, the famous work is that corner kick directly scored!"
"Oh! Hit the door directly, rubbed the beam and flew out! ”
"The ball went five inches lower and it went into ......"
……
Zhao Yuyu covered his face with both hands, wiped his mouth, and looked at Carragher, who was applauding and waving his arms at him: Come again, I won't believe it!
……
At this time, Benitez began to make substitutions again, and Finnan replaced Cisse!
Fennan went to play right midfielder, and Zhao Yuyu once again pushed to the forward position!
Then it was Colwill who replaced Barosh.
……
"Benitez's substitution adjustment is really unexpected, Yu Yu has been pushed to the striker position again!"
"Yu Yu may become a tall power forward in the future, but with his current body in the muscle jungle of Olympiacos, will it not be enough to see?"
……
After Zhao Yuyu was changed to the forward position, he still tried very hard to gain a foothold in the penalty area, but unfortunately he didn't succeed!
After Colwill was substituted, Zhao Yuyu immediately understood how he should play!
Zhao Yuyu then withdrew from the penalty area, linked with Colwill and Garcia, and repeatedly attacked the penalty area, three players with excellent skills approached each other, supported each other, and tore apart Olympiacos' defense with their own cooperative running.
This time it worked!
Zhao Yuyu received Colwill's ferry at the front of the penalty area, knocked the ball directly with his heel and pierced his crotch against Venettidis, and at the same time turned directly and rushed to the penalty area......
The helpless Venettidis shot and pulled down Zhao Yuyu - with this kid's skills, letting him hold the ball in the penalty area is almost the same as losing points directly!
