Chapter 64: The Eagle (Part II)

Well done, George! Gerald jumped on George's back and touched George's head with an excited face. During this period, because Liverpool defended with all their might, it made Lazio's attack even more crazy.

And when Gerrard is defending, acting as a defensive midfielder, or even a defender, the pressure can be imagined. On several occasions, Gerrard couldn't resist and tried to dribble the ball in front of Lazio's penalty area and kick it hard, but eventually gave up.

But now it's good that Liverpool have not only scored a valuable away goal, but are also temporarily ahead of Lazio. It is believed that with Liverpool's defensive strength, it is almost difficult for Lazio to equalize. After all, the current Lazio has lost the initiative because of falling behind, and Lazio has to prevent Liverpool's rapid attack when they are bent on equalizing.

But Liverpool's fast attack is not something that can be defended defensively, and in such a situation, it will be even more difficult for Lazio to equalise.

In fact, it was not only Gerrard who was so excited, but also other Liverpool players who seemed very excited at this time, as if they had shot by themselves when they had just shot, not the same as George's.

"Oh my God, this cunning thief of Liverpool, when Lazio didn't pay attention, stole the first goal that should have belonged to Lazio." Seeing Lazio bombarding indiscriminately and failing to score, and Liverpool only relied on a chance that was not a chance to take the lead, which made the commentator very depressed and sour.

"Damn it!" Lazio coach Ballardini couldn't help but curse the moment he saw Liverpool's goal.

"What the hell are you doing, it's a game, it's a game, it's not a game." Peruzzi was furious at this time, got up from the ground, and loudly accused his teammates.

Don't talk about Peruzzi's anger, at the moment when George grabbed the ball and shot, there was no defender within three meters of the surrounding area, which means something, this shows that there was a serious mistake in the Lazio backline, and the mistake was ridiculous, after all, the amateur team will not have such an exaggerated low-level mistake, after all, George's shot was not a successful shot against offside, but ran directly outside the penalty area and rushed in, and his teammates did not chase George, which made Peruzzi not angry.

In the face of the roaring Peruzzi, both Negro and Odo chose to remain silent, because Odo and Negro themselves also knew that Liverpool's goal just now had a lot to do with them, and what a ridiculous and low-level mistake they had made.

As the captain of the team. Peruzzi was disappointed with his teammates. But also understood. Just scold a few words. After all, the team is still behind. Encourage your teammates. Find a way to tie the score first.

Although Peruzzi has a high prestige in the Lazio team. But Peruzzi also understands. As long as it is human, it will have a temper. If you speak in too heavy a tone. Fear that your teammates will secretly resent. When the time comes, don't say it's an equalizer. It's terrible to balance the locker room relationship.

Come to think of it. Peruzzi said helplessly: "Okay, okay. Let's get in the spirits. We still have time to go. It was enough for us to equalise or even overtake. Let's work hard. ”

Hmph, I don't bother you. Someone will always be looking for trouble. Anyway, the first half of the game is almost over. At halftime. I'm sure the manager won't be polite to you either.

Peruzzi's encouragement was still very effective. Or maybe it's in front of tens of thousands of home fans. Liverpool's goal made the Lazio players feel good. So when the game restarts. All Lazio players. It's like a doping. Start playing with your life.

Pity. Liverpool are not soft persimmons either. You Lazio casually pinch a few times. That's it. Crazy attack in the face of Lazio. Liverpool have shown the quality of a big club. Again and again, the Lazio attacks were defused. The standout performer was of course goalkeeper Dudek. Dudek stood like a giant in front of goal. Let Lazio attack again and again in vain.

“***!” When Di Canio saw that his shot was blocked by Dudek sideways again, even Di Canio, who had a very strong psychological quality, couldn't help but curse.

You must know that Di Canio's age at this time is almost an old player who is about to retire, and he finally opened a gap to shoot, and even didn't Dudek block it sideways, the anxious Di Canio couldn't help but curse, you must know how much effort it takes for an elderly player like Di Canio to open a gap shot against Liverpool.

If it were normal times, a player of Di Canio's age would almost be desireless. But at this time, Di Canio couldn't help but scold, which shows Di Canio's nervousness at this time.

Lazio's corner was no threat to Liverpool. Whether it's Di Canio or Muzi, the two are not tall either, and their header skills are not very good. What's more, the age and body of the two are far from the Liverpool defenders who often hone in the fierce Premier League

When Lazio took a corner, Yepes didn't give the fat Muzi any chance and directed the ball straight outside the box. Gerrard grabbed the ball first, flashed a steal from Cesa, swayed it forward and began to dribble towards Lazio's half.

If Liverpool says that their counter-attacking speed is second, I am afraid that no team in this world dares to say that their counter-attacking speed is the first.

Gerrard ran wildly with the ball for more than ten meters, and immediately distributed it to Colwill on the side, Colwill continued to run wildly with the ball, and after making a one-two with George to avoid Negro's steal, he continued to run with the ball and crossed directly.

Otto returned in time to get the ball out of the box before Owen did. Owen looked at Otto on the side, shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Colwill who passed the ball, and said that he was helpless, after all, Owen is not good at grabbing points and heading goals.

Liverpool's counter-attack took a total of more than a dozen seconds from the back to the shot. Although Owen failed to grab the point in the end, Lazio was still scared into a cold sweat, and he no longer dared to press on it, lest Liverpool seize the opportunity and score another goal.

Lazio slowed down their attack, and Liverpool also watched that the first half of the game was about to end, and they were still one goal ahead of their opponents. So the two sides had a tacit understanding to delay the time, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half amid the boos of the Lazio fans in the stadium.

"Well done, boys." As soon as he returned to the locker room, Lao Bei praised the players excitedly.

Lao Bei was happy at this time, although he only scored one goal in the first half of the game, but don't forget, this was still a goal when he asked for full defense. Even Lao Bei didn't expect that he just couldn't get used to seeing Lazio so arrogant in front of him, so he let the team attack at will, and warned Lazio not to be too arrogant, and he was able to score, which was simply unexpected.

What is even more satisfying is the double back combination of Alonso and Gerrard, although it is only a short first half, but Lao Bei with his sharp eye, he suddenly saw the huge potential of the duo.

Steven Gerrard and Marcos Alonso form Liverpool's first line of defence in midfield, and any opponent who wants to attack, if not on the wing, will have to meet the two. But the result showed everyone that the combination of two midfielders had a clear effect, at least in the first half, completely freezing the core of Lazio's midfield, Dinocho.

Don't look at Dino Baggio's age, he is not strong, he is not fast, his foot skills and shooting skills, as well as his passing, seem to be very average. But Lao Bei, who has done detailed research work, knows that Baggio is the well-deserved core of Lazio's midfield, because this old guy can always appear in the most critical places at the most critical time to pass or shoot.

Don't look at the surface Baggio doesn't seem to play a central role, but the effect is really obvious, when Baggio is frozen by Gerrard and Alonso, Lazio's attack can only attack around the wing, but whether it is cutting inside or crossing, it is clear that there is little threat to Liverpool's goal.

Thinking of this, Lao Bei decided to return to England and test the double back combination of Alonso and Gerrard in the Premier League. After all, Liverpool is a Premier League team, and its team's main tactics and playing styles are still formulated around the Premier League.

Alonso dragged on to protect, and Gerrard acted as a blender in front of Alonso because of his good physical fitness, thinking of this, Lao Bei couldn't help but feel excited.

"I don't want to talk nonsense, in short, I am very satisfied with everyone's performance in the first half, and I don't ask much in the second half, everyone just continues to play in the league according to their usual style, now let's take a break."

Lao Bei simply said the arrangement of the second half, and then let everyone rest, while he began to discuss with Thompson on the side about the opponent he was about to meet in the league, an opponent who could never lose, that is, the city rival Everton.

"Damn, look at what you guys did in the first half, bombing Liverpool for half an hour, and no one had any. Liverpool were able to score with just one casual attack, is that how you play? ”

Lao Bei was happy and satisfied, but Lazio's head coach Balardini was very unhappy and angry at this time, and as soon as he returned to the dressing room, he began to roar.

Lazio's players also know that the first half was a bit bad and manager Ballardini will certainly be unhappy and angry. So as soon as they returned to the dressing room, everyone lowered their heads, and there was still manager Balardini who swallowed first.

"Look at what you look like now, are you still a professional footballer, are you still a warrior in the eyes of the fans, a hero?" Seeing the players bowing their heads one by one, Balardini, who was already very angry, was even more angry, and couldn't help but point at the players and yell one by one.
