Chapter 119: Kill Them
"I'm sure you know. The importance of this game. I've thought about it before, too. In the end, it is an all-out fight for the league title. Or give up the league. Go all out for the Champions League. But come to think of it. I still wonder why we can't go all out to win both events. We have that right now. Last time we lost 2-1 to Juventus. And that's okay. After all, we have a valuable away goal. On our home turf. We at Liverpool have nothing to fear. Just score a goal. We were able to knock out Juventus. Successful promotion. So. Now all I want to say is: kill them. ”
"Kill them!" In the locker room. Lao Bei began to inspire before the war. And the Liverpool players also roared one by one. It's like what manager Rafael Benitez said. As long as it's a professional player. Naturally, I want to win more championships and honors. No one will be disgusted.
"Since that's the case. All right. I believe that the tactics are already clear to everyone. First half lads. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans. Be brave and go into battle. ”
With Lao Bei's order. One by one, the Liverpool players walked towards the tunnel of the players. At this time, everyone in Liverpool felt that their blood was boiling. Can't wait to play faster.
"Oh. If it beats Juventus. Next game. We're going to meet Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga. Or CSKA Moscow, Dortmund's opponent. But look at the current big. ”
I saw the players walking out of the dressing room one by one. Lao Bei has already begun to move towards the next opponent at this time. And if Liverpool wins against the mighty Juventus. Then the next opponent. It was the victor between Dortmund and CSKA Moscow.
CSKA Moscow has been in excellent form in the Champions League this year. I was stunned and crashed into the knockout round. But even so. Lao Bei is also not optimistic about CSKA Moscow. Because compared to Dortmund. CSKA Moscow was clearly weaker than Dortmund.
Actually, to put it bluntly. CSKA Moscow was also not very strong. It's just that CSKA Moscow players are very strong. Tall stature. Outstanding fitness. More importantly, CSKA Moscow has a huge home advantage. CSKA Moscow was able to make it to the knockout round. It can be said that it has a huge relationship with home field advantage. Because every opponent of CSKA Moscow. First of all, they are adapted to the cold climate of CSKA Moscow's home field.
However, Dortmund and CSKA Moscow played each other in the last game. Borussia Dortmund won 2-0 away from home to CSKA Moscow. As it stands. CSKA Moscow lost its advantage in the bitter cold at home. And to go or the score is behind. Its own strength is not as good as Dortmund. Want to play a big comeback at Dortmund's home stadium. It's almost impossible.
If you look at it this way. Liverpool's next opponent. Quite possibly. Although it is said that football is round. On the main court. Everything is possible. But Lao Bei was very convinced. CSKA Moscow couldn't be more powerful. In t. I'm afraid I won't be able to play any big reversal. So now Lao Bei's home. The footage of the Dortmund match has been slowed down. Especially the footage of the match against the Bundesliga powerhouse and the Champions League.
"Oh. What do I want to do so much now? At the moment we are still behind Juventus. Juventus is not a bully. It is still a question whether Liverpool can beat Juventus to advance. Now I think it's too early. ”
Come to think of it. Lao Bei couldn't help but laugh at himself. Shake your head. Started walking towards the outside of the court.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Anfield. The knockout rounds of the Champions League are about to be played here. Liverpool host Serie A giants Juventus at home. In the last round of the fight. Liverpool lost away to Juventus. But Liverpool still managed to score a valuable away goal. Now Liverpool are back at Anfield. One thing is for sure. Liverpool will definitely give it their all. Of course. The mighty Juventus will not be relenting either. Who will make it to the first round? Let's wait and see. ”
With the narrator's commentary. Liverpool and Juventus players walked onto the pitch one by one with their heads held high. And naturally, the fans began to erupt into their own loudest cheers. Start cheering the game is about to begin. minds. It doesn't matter if it's a Liverpool fan or a Juventus fan. They all think that it is not a good thing for the two teams to meet so early. In the minds of fans on both sides. It's best for the two teams to collide in the quarterfinals. Because at that time there were only big teams. I can't find a weaker one. And not like now. Crashed into each other early.
"Boy. You be careful today. Don't think it's your home turf to be arrogant. I'll let you know what an Italian defense is. If my foot is broken by me. Don't blame me then. ”
Stand in the middle of the court. George couldn't help but think of just being in the players' tunnel. Juventus defender Tudor warns against himself. It even almost caused a clash between the players on both sides.
George understood Tudor's feelings. No way. Who called himself in the last match against Juventus. Managed to break through Tudor's defense. Shook Gianluigi Buffon to score the goal. Juventus' head coach Lippi certainly gave Tudor no less bitter fruit. So Tudor began to regard himself, the man who had broken through his defenses, as an enemy.
". Isn't it that I'm too honest during this time. I have forgotten my title of wicked man. I was threatened just now. During this time, I have been used to threatening others. This time I heard someone else's threat. It's really a little uncomfortable
Thinking of the threat that Tudor had just made. George thought. Shook his head helplessly. Obviously. Even if you want to be a villain. Less, you just have to be honest for a few games. People will forget about you.
Of course. Threats to Tudor. George was contemptuous except for sneering. As for fear. According to George's words that often comforted himself. Dudes are people who have died once. What else is there to be afraid of.
". Since you dare to threaten me. You can't blame me for that. You're not kind to me. Just bear the responsibility that I'm not kind to you. He gave Tudor a cold look. George secretly decided
George had no reason to be afraid. Speaking of heads-up. Tudor was indeed tall and strong. But that's about it. The two really fought. George was consciously sure. It can be in five seconds. Put Tudor in.
Gang fighting. George was even less afraid. I didn't see this as Anfield. It's Liverpool's home stadium. More than 40,000 Liverpool fans watched from the sidelines. If only Juventus really dared to do it. George would absolutely believe it. Liverpool's over-the-top fans. It will make Juventus understand the madness of the Reds fans.
The game begins. Juventus continued to play unhurriedly. I want to take my time and get to grips with the pace of the game. Because Juventus is still one goal ahead of Liverpool at this time. So the Juventus players are not in a hurry at all. Instead, he waited patiently. Waiting for Liverpool to find an equaliser and show their holes. Thus teaching Liverpool a hard lesson.
Because there was a fight. Liverpool have also somewhat adapted to the fact that Juventus did not do the last time. In the first half of the game. The pace of the game was almost firmly controlled by Juventus.
Steady and steady in the face of Juventus. The Liverpool players also showed a lot of patience. There is no rush at all. From the outside. There is no indication that Liverpool are still behind Juventus.
You're not busy. Never mind. We're not busy either. You guys love callbacks. It doesn't matter. We'll let you send it back. But you don't always hold the ball at the feet of a defender at the back. Don't attack.
Seeing Liverpool unusually stay in their own half. And George and Owen are two forwards. It's just for show. Slowly rushed to the Juventus player with the ball. Be prepared to grab the ball. The Juventus players were stunned. What the hell is going on. What the hell is Liverpool's conspiracy?
Seeing that Liverpool didn't have the heart to grab the ball. Juventus are not welcome. Start putting the ball through the midfield. Prepare for the offensive.
But it was different from Juventus' half. When the ball crosses the middle and long lines. Heading into Liverpool's half-time. The Liverpool players were like they were stimulated by something. Crazy rushed towards the Juventus players with the ball. That hideous expression. Let the Juventus players have no doubts. Will the Liverpool players take the opportunity to give themselves a few tricks?
Come to think of it. Juventus can't help it. Immediately passed the ball. However, Liverpool's scramble is too aggressive. No way. In the end, you can only pass the ball to the back.
A full ten minutes passed, and Ventus started the game. The ball was firmly at his feet. Liverpool, on the other hand, didn't even touch the ball. So far, so to speak. Juventus spent an astonishing 100 per cent of their possession on the ball. The situation is put there. It's an impossible thing.
". Here's what's going on. What the hell the hell is that damn bald guy fighting? 'Lippi also saw the unusual atmosphere on the pitch. He looked at Benitez on the Liverpool bench. I thought with a puzzled face.
I thought about it for a long time. Lippi couldn't figure out what Liverpool were paying attention to. The more I don't understand what Liverpool is conspiring with. The more Lippi worried. Because Lippi is sure. There is definitely a conspiracy in Liverpool. And it's very insidious to go. If you can't find out in time. Liverpool may be the most fatal blow to Juventus.
Thinking of this...... Lippi couldn't sit still. Came out of the bench. Standing on the sidelines yelling at the Juventus players. Signal the player to attack. Lippi wants Liverpool to show their feet under Juventus' attack.
"Hey, hey. You're still fooled. "I saw that Lippi couldn't hold his breath. Stand on the sidelines and signal your players to attack. Benitez couldn't help but glance at Lippi. There was a hint of a sinister smirk.
"Huh. I'm afraid of the cunning Lippi. I can't think of it. The so-called conspiracy in his mind. Just scare yourself. Assistant coach Thompson on the side heard Lao Bei's laughter. also endure that Lao Bei is preparing some conspiracy at all. Everything that is happening on the field at the moment. It was all deliberately arranged by Benitez. Why. It was to make Lippi suspicious. Suspect yourself of a conspiracy. I couldn't help but let the players press and attack.
To know. In general. If you don't know what the other party is conspiring against. Pressing up and attacking is undoubtedly the best way to do it. If you do this, you can make the other person accidentally show their feet. Expose your own conspiracy. If you can score a goal on the press. That's for the best.
But this time Lippi was wrong. Benitez had no plans for any conspiracy at all. Rather, he deliberately let Lippi scare himself. Let the players can't help but press the attack.
Lao Bei knew very well. Although the strength of his own team is very strong. All the players are very good. The technique at the foot is also very good. But play with Juventus to control the pace of the game. Than said Liverpool. Even any team in the world. I'm afraid it's not as good as Juventus.
Since that's the case. Lao Bei completely gave up the idea of competing with Juventus to control the pace of the game. Deliberately asked the players not to push Juventus too hard. Unless the ball goes into the half.
As long as Juventus press the attack. Then there will be holes in Juventus' backline. That's when Liverpool's chance comes. With the speed and footwork of George and Owen and Colwill. Lao Bei believed. Even if it's a one, it's definitely the best team in world football that can play this set of tactics at the moment.
Of course. Lao Bei arranged it like this. It is also entirely built on Liverpool's strong backline. And the team has George and Irving and Colwill three fast. Offensive players with very good individual skills.
If not for these conditions. Kill Benitez. Don't dare to play these small tricks at Juventus' current level. Of course. If Lippi is breathing. Ignoring Liverpool's abnormal appearance. Continue to pass the ball to each other to stall for time. Half an hour maximum. Benitez will not be able to hold his breath. Ask the Liverpool players to start pressing all over the pitch. Attack with all your might.
After all, Liverpool are still behind Juventus. Liverpool don't give up on games so easily. Let's not say yes or no. Even if it's the Liverpool players and Lao Bei himself. Nor will it be agreed.
But sometimes small things can help. Natural current location. Lippi had already been fooled when he scared himself. Start asking the players to attack. So. Benitez's plan was a success. The next step is to look at the quality of Liverpool's defence at the back and the attacking quality of the forwards.
Received orders from the head coach. The Juventus generals were not welcome. Thuram played the ball straight to Nedved on the left. This is where Juventus' attack begins. Or rather. Juventus' first serious attack. Finally the Pu backline was ready. Now we see Thuram passing the ball to Nedved. I know that Juventus is serious this time. One by one, they are ready to fight. Prepare for Juventus to crash into themselves. The head was hit and the blood flowed.
Nedved had just received a pass from Thuram. Gerald appeared right in front of Nedved's eyes. Staring at the ball at Nedved's feet. Motionless.
Seeing that Gerrard had no intention of rushing over to grab the ball. Nedved didn't rush forward either. I looked aside. Immediately distributed the ball to the feet of Tacinadi who stepped forward.
But Tacinadi didn't feel good either. Just received a pass from Nedved. Haman rushed over. Entangled with Tacinadi. If it weren't for Tacchinadi's body, he would still be strong. I'm afraid that Hamann has already squeezed over the ball and broken the ball.
No way. Seeing that he couldn't shake off Haman's entanglement. Tacinadi also had no choice but to pass. And this time. When Tacinadi saw Zambrotta, who was cutting forward at high speed. Immediately passed the ball through.
It turned out that Zambrotta saw that Liverpool's defense was tight. His own team-mates simply couldn't break down Liverpool's defence. Push the ball into the box. So I couldn't help but start to plug forward. After all, Zambrotta went up. Juventus' attacking players have one more passing option. This will allow Juventus to get closer to the box with the ball. Approaching the goal.
It's not just Zambrotta. Thuram, on the other side, saw the attack stalemate. Also the same as Zambrotta. He rushed forward. Obviously. Thuram is the same as Zambrotta. Prepare to support your teammates.
With Thuram and Zambrotta in front of the thrust. Juventus have more attacking players. Liverpool's backline is under pressure. Zambrotta and Nedved made a one-two. After passing Traore. Started with the ball. Prepare for the bottom cross.
But. At this moment. All the people didn't notice. With Liverpool heavily defended. Successfully attracted two of Juventus' full-backs. Now in the back line of Juventus. Only Montero and Tudor remained. And, of course, goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. It can be said that Juventus' defense at this time is the weakest time. (To be continued.)
