Chapter 66: The Chinese
In fact, it seems that George has changed because of Liverpool's tactical changes, and in all ways, George not only has excellent physical condition, but also has outstanding heading ability. But I forgot that George's athletic battle is not weaker than his good buddy, good partner Michael Win.
You must know that since George participated in the Premier League at the age of 17, George has always been famous for his speed, sharp breakthroughs, and dazzling shaking, and famous throughout European football.
If it weren't for this, George wouldn't have been almost scrapped by Materazzi in the Champions League. It is because of George's constant impact and continuous breakthroughs that the pressure on Inter Milan's defense has increased greatly, and Materazzi, who is also hot with the ball, just can't get used to George, a boy who is still a little hairy boy in his eyes, is arrogant in front of him, so he put his foot on George.
With George returning to the Liverpool team again, after Lao Bei's adjustment and the needs of the team's tactics, George more often appears in the eyes of people in the form of a strong center forward, but forgets that George is fundamentally a technical striker.
And now, both Peruzzi and Lazio are paying the price for their carelessness, when Peruzzi and Lazio's defenders are focusing all their attention on Owen and not on George. George took advantage of this opportunity and scored directly from distance.
Nonsense, Liverpool has Hamann, Gerrard and Reese in the team who are good at long-range shooters, George tried to train with a few people in the same team, although long-range shots rarely appear during the game, but this does not mean that George will not shoot from a distance.
On the contrary, the excellent physical condition and strength allowed George to calmly shake off Negro's defence under Negro's pull, and then shoot from distance to form the second goal of the game.
"It's over!" When Ballardini saw George score the second goal, he sat on the bench in frustration, looking at the Liverpool players celebrating with blank eyes, muttering a word in his mouth.
Indeed, although Lazio are on their home turf, Liverpool are actually an easy opponent to deal with. George's second goal not only widened the gap between the two sides, but also greatly damaged the morale of the Lazio players. At this time, the morale of the Lazio players was almost impossible to score two goals in a row.
Ballardini was frustrated, but Beck on the side was completely different, and when George scored the second goal, Beck couldn't help but jump up in excitement and yelled in Spanish, as if venting his inner excitement.
Lao Bei knew very well. A two-goal lead. Although there is still some time to play. But this game can basically be regarded as an early end. Lazio wanted to score two goals in a row. It's not impossible. But it's an extremely difficult thing to do. Not to mention scoring three goals in a row. Overtake the score. It's basically a miracle.
If Lazio really scored three goals in a row. Overtake the score battle to win Liverpool. I'm afraid that at the same time as the transfer market opens. Liverpool's backline will be recruited for the big purge.
Nonsense. The team that has always wanted to win the championship. was scored three goals in a row by the opponent in the last half hour. This kind of backline is not cleaned up, what is there to do.
Of course. It's just casual talk. Hyypia and Yepes, among others. Naturally, Lazio will not be on his own. staged a major reversal. A miracle.
When the game starts again. Although Lazio began to attack wildly. But already two goals ahead of Liverpool. It was under the command of Lao Beidi. Started the first half of the field tactics. That's all about defending.
Although Lazio attacked fiercely. There were even a couple of times when he was close to scoring. But in the final interception of Dudek. It was still resolved one by one by Dudek.
As the game time became less and less, the mentality of the Lazio players also changed, and the Lazio players were anxious to score, but the more anxious they were, the more they could not effectively organize the attack, let alone score goals.
Even in the last ten minutes, because of the obvious change in the mentality of Lazio players, the anxious mentality has greatly weakened Lazio's offensive level, and Liverpool's defensive pressure has been greatly reduced.
In the end, when Valardini saw that there was no longer a chance, he replaced the team's main players, and with Di Canio, Dinoccio and Otto being replaced, Lazio had completely abandoned the game.
There is no way, this game is already lost, Balardini naturally will not let his main players continue to stay on the field, this is just an ordinary championship group stage, although lost, but there is still a second leg of the competition, and there are two opponents to play.
And Lazio's new season in Serie A is in a good form, and Valardini also wants to let Di Canio and other old players maintain their fitness and leave all their energy in Serie A. Or with the current situation of Lazio in the league, maybe Lazio can still win the league title this season, although it may not be large.
In this way, when Lazio had no morale and Liverpool did not want to attack, the game suddenly became boring, and the angry Lazio fans were very dissatisfied with their team's performance, some fans chose to leave the field early, while some radical fans were shrill boos, but they could not be excited
Ao's fighting spirit.
In the end, with the referee's whistle, the first game of Group G of the Champions League, Liverpool defeated Lazio at home with a score of C:2 away from home. Walking out of the Olympic Stadium with his head held high, ready to return to England for an important match.
When Liverpool returned to Liverpool with three points, they were not moved and happy because of the away victory over Lazio, but instead devoted themselves to intense training, because in the next round of the league, Liverpool will meet a strong opponent, although this opponent is only for Liverpool.
Maybe the championship battle can make people excited, even boiling, but on top of the championship battle, there is another kind of game that can even make people crazy, and that is the city derby.
I don't know when the word city derby appeared in the eyes of the world, but in short, no matter which corner of the world, that place, as long as it is a city derby, it is destined to be popular.
Today, Derby didn't stop its footsteps and came to Liverpool City. And England's most famous Liverpool derby is about to be played at Goodson Park, Everton's home stadium.
The 40,000-capacity Goodson Park stadium was already packed, and Everton fans rushed from their homes to the stadium to cheer on their favourite team.
Of course, Liverpool fans will naturally not be entangled, what about the away game, what about 2,500 tickets, 2,500 Liverpool's most loyal and brave fans, have taken out the tickets in their hands, Ang walked into the world's most dangerous stadium for Liverpool fans, cheering for their team.
Before the game, the managers of both sides did not play any aggressive players, nor did they deliberately arrange any tactics. Because both Moyes and Benitez know that in the derby, they don't need to encourage the players at all, and the word derby hanging over the pitch in this game alone will completely arouse the players' combat effectiveness.
So neither of them had any of the players as they usually played, but simply arranged the roster and let the players rest in the dressing room to prepare for the derby that was about to take place.
Reminded by the staff, George walked out of the locker room with the team, and came to the time when there were too many players and quietly waited for the time to enter the field.
Less than half a minute after the Liverpool players came to the players' tunnel, the Everton players also came to the players' tunnel with murderous eyes. The two sides stood quietly in the players' tunnel, no one chatted with anyone, and suddenly, the atmosphere on the scene became very depressing.
"Uh, the countrymen?" Just as George, who was bored, kept looking at the Everton players, a yellow-skinned Asian suddenly appeared, standing in the team of Everton players.
"Li Tie!" George exclaimed in his heart, and immediately remembered who Everton was as an Asian player. Obviously, the Everton team is one of the two flags of Chinese football in the Premier League at this time, Li Tie, and Sun Jihai of the Manchester City team in Manchester.
Indeed, it is only 2003, and among the Chinese players in the Premier League team, Li Tie and Sun Jihai can be regarded as banners and representatives.
Looking at Li Tie's face, yellow face and black eyes, this kind of face that was once very familiar, but at this time felt extremely unfamiliar, George suddenly fell into deep thought. After living in Britain for too long, it seems that George has almost been Anglomatized, and at this time, when George saw Li Tie, he suddenly realized that although he is now an authentic British, his own heart and soul still belong to China.
"Oh, I hope you'll have a good performance later." I really couldn't help it, George looked at Li Tie with a surprised face, smiled and said. Then he ignored Li Tie, turned his head and stared at the exit of the player's tunnel, quietly waiting for the game to officially start.
Li Tie was also very depressed at this time, it was not easy for him to get out of China, and come to the Premier League, which has a higher league level, but sadly now, he belongs to the level of top strength in China, and in the Everton team, he can only be regarded as average, and can only be used as a substitute. If it weren't for the injury of one of the team's main midfielders in training today, I am afraid that I would not have been eligible to play in an important game like the derby.
With excitement, Li Tie stood quietly in the team, waiting for the game to start. Unexpectedly, in the Liverpool team, a handsome guy is staring at himself. And this guy Li Tie is no stranger, he knows that this guy is very powerful, and he can be regarded as a top striker in the Premier League, even in Europe or the world.
Li Tie couldn't have imagined that the other party would greet him, although he was very puzzled, but when he saw that the other party only said a word, he turned his head and ignored himself, and Li Tie also chose to be silent.
It can be seen that the other party has no intention of continuing to talk to him, so there is no need for him to say anything. What's more, this game is a veritable derby battle in Liverpool City, and in this tense and serious situation, Li Tie didn't dare to chat with George.
