Chapter 20: The Titov Moment
Tove's dribbling was really good, and the passing was quite good, but unfortunately under the defense of Good) T7, Husky still couldn't grab the first point, which also made Husky even more depressed. /
"The O~Gudbergsen team is so tight defensively that it is really difficult for Liverpool to break the deadlock on the pitch. However, fortunately, Gudbergsen's defensive tightness makes his team's attacking ability is not enough, at least Liverpool do not have to worry about breaking the deadlock for now. I think that at this time, Benitez should replace George and Michael, and let the two rush with their own degrees, otherwise, the situation on the field is still deadlocked, and this kind of game is obviously not what we want to see. ”
The narrator's words naturally fell into Benitez's ears word for word, and hearing the narrator's reminder, Lao Bei subconsciously looked at George and the others sitting on the bench, and after thinking about it, he decided to wait a little longer.
How to say that Liverpool is also a dignified English champion, playing a Gudbergsen team that is not strong in attack, and sending all the main forces, isn't this telling everyone that Liverpool's attack is not good.
The threat from the forwards Gudbergsen is really limited, and this is also evident in the Liverpool players on the pitch. Seeing this, captain Hyypia stood in the backfield and yelled loudly, signaling that Hamann and Alonso, as well as Titov and Smitchell, could rush up to help a group of Husky and Barosh and not worry about the opponent's attack.
The Gudbergsen team's defensive strength is very strong, really strong, and the strong English League champion Liverpool is also in front of the Gudbergsen team's iron bucket formation, which seems helpless.
But in the same way, while the Gudbergsen team is very strong in defense, the offensive strength is too weak, and it can be said that the attack and defense of the Gudbergsen team are simply two extremes. No, the Gudbergsen players didn't even have the ball in the midfield, and they were cut off by Smitchell.
Smitchell, who broke the ball, immediately rushed towards the Gudbergsen team's penalty area with the ball, and before the opposing defender rushed up to grab the ball, he directly stuffed the ball diagonally to the front of the penalty area, and at this time, a red voice instantly caught up with the ball, pulled out his foot and shot angrily, this person was Hamann who just stepped forward, and the ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
"Boom!" With a muffled sound, in the lament of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, the ball was blocked sideways by the goalkeeper of the Gudbergsen team.
"O~Hamann's long-range shot is really powerful, but unfortunately the ball is too positive, otherwise, Liverpool may have broken the deadlock on the field."
"!" Seeing that his long-range shot did not score, Hamann couldn't help but curse.
Three minutes later. Liverpool are making a comeback. This time it was the Russian Titov. After receiving a pass from Haman. I began to show my gorgeous turf belt. Defended by a Gudbergsen player. Very laid-back. Deliberate. With both feet firmly in control of the ground, the ball kept closing in on the Gudbergsen team's penalty area. Finally, in the absence of a shot on goal. Knocked the ball to Alonso.
Get a pass from Titov. Alonso's first thought was to shoot. Because this warm-up match can be regarded as his first time representing Liverpool in a local competition. So Alonso can't wait to put on a show in front of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans. After scoring a goal with his own shot. Enjoy the cheers and applause that the Liverpool fans have given you.
Think of it that way. But Alonso didn't have a shot on goal. Because the moment Titov passed the ball over. The man cut into the Gudbergsen penalty area. Titov was not guarded by Gudbergsen's players. The Goodberg Sendi players have been pulled aside by Husky and Baroshe.
Alonso knows. The situation is best handled at the moment. It was to knock the ball back into the penalty area for Titov. Made a two-by-one. Let Titov finish the shot. Although Alonso was very reluctant to do so. I don't want to let Titov, a Russian guy who is a newcomer like himself, steal the limelight from him. But Alonso also understands. This is not the time to care about these places. After all, tens of thousands of Liverpool fans are watching.
Come to think of it. Alonso didn't hesitate either. Suddenly out of the way. Stuff the ball into the box. The ball is like a child looking for his parents. Roll quickly to Titov's side.
See the ball. Titov did not make the slightest adjustment. In fact, there is no time to adjust. Because the goalkeeper of the Gudbergsen team has already attacked at this time. If you don't shoot, you don't have a chance.
Thinking of this, Titov glanced at the ball at his feet, then fell sideways and fired the ball into the far corner of the goal in an almost tackle manner.
This time, the Gudbergsen goalkeeper did not succeed in blocking Titov's shot, and the ball went over the Gudbergsen goalkeeper's hands, past the goalkeeper, and into the far corner of the goal.
Titov, the strong Russian lad, finally broke the deadlock on the pitch for Liverpool, who are currently 1-0 ahead. Although this game is not an official game, but from the shooting T3 just now, Titov is still very good in attack, you must know that Titov is not in his best position this time, and now we have reason to believe that in the upcoming league, Titov will bring us constant surprises. In the same way, let's not forget Alonso, who sent a wonderful pass for Titov, Liverpool's new arrivals this summer have all performed well in the game, and I believe that Liverpool will continue to win in the new season. ”
The moment the ball drilled into the goal, more than 40,000 Liverpool fans suddenly stood up from their seats frantically and began to shout incessantly. Aren't you good defensively, aren't you tactically atrophied, so what, you're nothing in front of our mighty Liverpool.
Equally happy was Titov, who scored the first goal for the team, and although it was not an official goal, Titov was still very happy, with a happy smile on his face and his hands raised in celebration.
Of course, Titov did not forget Alonso, who assisted him, and rushed towards Alonso with a smile on his face, hugging Alonso tightly.
Alonso was also depressed by Titov's excitement, this is not a final and an important game that cannot be lost, not even an official match, just an ordinary friendly match, scoring a goal, is it so exciting.
Although Alonso really couldn't figure out why Titov was so excited, seeing Titov rushing towards him with excitement, Alonso also smiled and stretched out his hands to hug Titov who rushed over tightly.
"Well done, polar bear!" At this time, Haman also ran to Titov's side and hammered Titov the shoulder, praising Titov.
Since Titov is Russian, and polar bears have always had a special connection with Russia, people think of Russia and they don't think of polar bears. In the Liverpool team too, because Titov is Russian, Rieser suddenly gave Titov the nickname of the Polar Bear.
"Good boy, you just made a good pass!" After complimenting Titov, Hamann turned his head to look at Alonso on the side, and in his own way, punched Alonso hard in the shoulder.
In the competition, Alonso has been recognized by Hamann with his excellent performance. After all, the likes of Hamann and Hyypia are not as vindictive as the young players of George and Gerrard. A veteran player like Hamann contributed his best years to the Liverpool team, and Hamann naturally has a special affection for Liverpool.
Hamann, like all the old players, naturally hopes that Liverpool can get better and better, and he is naturally very happy to see young players with good strength and talent in the team, because in this way, Liverpool's future will not have to worry.
It is precisely for this reason that whether it is Fowler or Redknapp, or the current George, Owen and Gerrard and Colwill, although they are very young, they are talented and powerful, relying on their wonderful performance and outstanding swing in the game, so that people like Harman and Hyypia can easily identify with these young players, and give these young players unlimited help and trust.
Now the situation is the same, but the person has become a newcomer Alonso, Hamann was originally worried about what to do with Liverpool's midfielder after he gets old, but after seeing Alonso's excellent swing, he suddenly made up his mind that Alonso must be cultivated well, and trained into a better midfielder than himself, to replace his position.
Although Gerrard was also cultivated by Hamann, Gerrard's style and Hamann do not belong to the same type at all, Gerrard is physical, physically strong, has excellent long passes, can shoot suddenly, this kind of person is placed in the center of the midfield, as the team's midfield core is the most suitable.
Although Gerrard also has good defensive ability, it is impossible for Gerrard to give up his offensive talent for the sake of the team's defensive needs. In doing so, not to mention what Gerrard would think, even Harman felt it was a waste.
But now it's different, Alonso's style is very similar to Hamann, which also makes Hamann feel that Alonso is his best successor.
"Ao~ Polar Bear's shot is good, and he can even play a difficult shot." Seeing Titov score, the George Four also stood up from the bench and stood on the sidelines clapping and cheering for Titov.
Although Titov was able to score, half of the credit was also due to Alonso, who passed the ball to Titov. But at this time, the relationship between Owen and Alonso was not very good, so Owen deliberately only said that Titov shot beautifully, ignoring Alonso's existence at all.
