Chapter 177: Two Unlucky Eggs
Away Tottenham Hotspur starting line-up is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon
Defenders: Rio Ferdinand, Saul Campbell, Thuram
Midfielders: Claude Makelele, Pirlo, Nedved, Beckham
Forwards: Ronaldo, Henry, Cang Yaozu
Managers: Zeman, Jose Mourinho
Zeman has a starting lineup of 343, which seems to be going to attack to the end, and it is estimated that Liverpool's defense is relatively weak.
Liverpool starting line-up:
Goalkeeper: David James
Defenders: Right-back McAtier, centre-backs Dominic Mateo and Mark Wright, left-back Steven Harkness
Midfielders: McManaman, Redknapp, John Barnes, Patrick Borg
Forwards: Collymore, Robbie Fowler
Manager: Roy Evans
Liverpool is still playing in the 442 formation, with a large number of big names in the team, goalkeeper James, midfielders McManaman, Redknapp, John Barnes, and striker Collymore partnering Fowler, all of which are famous existences.
Liverpool's midfield is very strong, but the back line is much worse, and Liverpool goalkeeper James often makes mistakes, which is the reason why Zeman still chooses to play against the attack away from home, and Liverpool manager Roy Evans' ability is also relatively average, well, the ability to develop young players is still quite strong.
Fowler's popularity has peaked this season, not only has he staged a senior blight, he has been inducted into the Liverpool 100-Ball Hall of Fame, he has also been selected for the national team, and he is currently in a relationship with Emma Burton, the baby girl of the Spice Girls.
Indeed, 1997 was the peak of Fowler's life, and in 98 Fowler began to suffer injuries, and the wind-chasing teenager Owen quickly rose to the top, and a new generation replaced the old.
This is Anfield, where the home fans are singing Liverpool's anthem 'You'll Never Go Alone'.
The game started, and it was Cang's second game in the Premier League, starting for the first time. But he didn't feel nervous at all, the players on both sides on the field combined, and then the substitutes, the head coach, and the team owner all added up are not as much as he alone has more money, so thinking about it, it is still nervous, and being rich is so capricious.
Cang Yaozu wandered back and forth next to Steven Harkness, and sometimes ran to Matteo in the middle, Cang Yaozu was more like a right winger, Ronaldo and Thierry Henry moved in the middle and left, and the two often switched positions, sometimes one behind the other. The two of them are actually quite similar, both are bald, both have delicate skills, and are very fast, relatively speaking, Ronnie prefers to operate in the middle, and Henry is more like a mixture of left winger + center forward, often attacking with the ball from the left side to the penalty area.
Tottenham's three strikers are all very fast and have good skills, especially Henry and Ronnie, whether it is dribbling, breaking, passing, passing, and shooting, they are all very good at it, and Cang Yaozu's running position and speed are also very good, and it is not at all obvious that he has rarely participated in training, and the three of them have made a mess of Liverpool's penalty area. A few people in the midfield did not stop, Nedved also came forward from time to time, Pirlo and Beckham's accurate long passes were like installing a navigation system, Cang Yaozu understood why Tottenham could stand at the top of the table now, if these people came to Tottenham at the beginning of the season, then Tottenham should have locked the championship a few rounds in advance.
Tottenham Hotspur 8 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in the first half, only 28 points, the second half now played 17 games, Tottenham 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses accumulated 41 points, after Newcastle beat Tottenham 7:1 last year, Cang Yaozu took over Tottenham, and then 16 games Tottenham only lost 1 game, only 2 draws, a total of 13 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, which shows that Tottenham Hotspur has a good result in the second half of the season.
In the 28th minute, Liverpool's attack was blocked by Makelele, who would retreat from midfield to the defender's position. This time it was his active running to intercept and snatch the football, Makelle passed the football along the side to Beckham, Beckham took a few steps, and a long pass was transferred to Henry on the other side, Henry received the ball and cut it diagonally into the penalty area, and then Ronnie in the middle and Cang Yaozu on the right were quickly inserted, and Nedved followed behind Ronnie, which was the second echelon.
Henry dribbled the ball into his favorite Henry area, and of course Piero liked this area too, so it was also called the Piero area, well, in this area they were very threatening.
Henry's sudden dribbling into the penalty area instantly disrupted Liverpool's defense, Henry's breakthrough ability was extremely good, I saw him as if he was wearing flowers, under the continuous shaking, bypassing Liverpool's right-back McAtier, dribbling directly into the penalty area.
Ronnie pulls sideways and takes Dominique Mateo with him. Henry made a feint to divide the ball, facing the hesitant Mark Wright, suddenly flicked the ball, flashed out of the shooting space, and the inside of the arch of his right foot, the football drew a beautiful arc in mid-air, bypassing Liverpool goalkeeper James, straight to the bottom of the net, 1:0.
Henry saw the ball in, turned around and ran, only to see his right index finger pointing to the sky, diagonally across the court, all the way to Beckham who passed the ball to him, Cang Yaozu also ran over, Beckham and Henry had already hugged each other, Cang Yaozu also grabbed them with one hand, and touched Henry's bald head with the other.
Ha, with the sweat of one hand, Cang Yaozu hurriedly wiped his hand on Henry's clothes again, and shouted in his mouth: "Congratulations, Thierry." You've captured Anfield, you're a Tottenham hero!"
Henry bared his big white teeth and laughed, he had already scored a lot of goals this season, but because he had only played half a season, he was only in third place in the team in terms of goals, and he wanted to score more.
David Beckham was also pleased that the goal came from his instigation, and if they win this game against Liverpool, Tottenham could well hold Manchester United to win their first Premier League title. Ah Yao is right, Tottenham's group of players are indeed very powerful, and their passes will not be wasted at all.
Looking at the players who were celebrating, Cang Yaozu was also very excited, the two saddest giants in the Premier League were the two protagonists of this game, Liverpool and Tottenham. The two teams have not won a Premier League title since the inception of the Premier League until 2020, and they are a pair of unlucky pairs.
Liverpool was lucky enough to finally win their first Premier League title in 2020, and Tottenham's first Premier League title still doesn't know where it is. Forget it, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, they are all difficult brothers in the trenches, so no one laughs at anyone.
In this life, Cang Yaozu started a crazy buy-buy-buy mode during the winter break, and successfully created a super team with sharp offense and tough defense.
After the year, Tottenham restarted, and several strong dialogues were steadily won, and when it was strong, it was stronger, and when it was weak, it was stronger, which created today's good situation.
After scoring the first goal, Zeman did not let the players settle down, although he is not young, he is not a stable person at all, his temper is still hot, and Tottenham continue to strengthen their attack as if they are the ones who are behind on the pitch now. Liverpool's back line in particular has tightened the guard on Thierry Henry.
But will Tottenham's forward line allow you to make such adjustments? Surely it is not allowed, Rooney's skills simply do not allow it. Ronnie, who was stimulated by Henry's almost personal perfect performance just now, also became excited, and his breakthroughs increased significantly, and he frequently rushed into the penalty area with the ball, which was very active.
After Ronnie rushed into the penalty area with the ball three times in a row, everyone on and off the field was expecting him to create the next goal, but he didn't expect him to suddenly play a backheel pass in front of the Liverpool goal, the ball was sent back by him, but he still made a lateral breakthrough to the left, and when Mark Wright and Mateo caught him, they found that the ball was missing, and the two quickly turned around, and saw the right rear Cang Yaozu directly fell to the ground and shoveled the football into Liverpool's goal with a small piece of turf.
Cang Yaozu was following behind Ronnie just now, he just got rid of Harkness's defense by pulling back and forth, and then burst out with all his might, a sprint, trying to rush into the penalty area to pick up a leak or something.
Cang Yaozu didn't expect Ronnie to pass the ball, in the first ten minutes, Ronnie's performance was indeed a little impatient, and he wanted to score a goal, but he didn't expect him to act it all.
This pass was a bit sudden, Cang Yaozu didn't have time to think about it, so he could only kick out quickly, and shoveled it directly with his feelings, and he didn't even have time to look at the goalkeeper's position and make a little adjustment.
Luckily, the ball went in, 2:0.
As soon as Cang Yaozu got up from the ground, Ronnie pounced, then Nedved and Henry, several people clenched their fists and yelled, and the Anfield stadium was a little quiet. As more of Tottenham's players joined in the celebration, the home fans on the pitch also regained their strength from the goal and began a louder chorus.
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on,Through The Rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone
Liverpool's morale is up again and all the players are running positively. Thankfully, the first half ended quickly, which disrupted some of Liverpool's rhythm. Players from both teams returned to the dressing room.
Zeman and Mourinho are explaining to the players separately, and Zeman stressed that the forward line continues to attack, keep the pressure on Liverpool, and the attack is the best defense.
Mourinho helped the backfield players sort out the gains and losses in the first half, pointing out the problems in the running and coordination of the backline, Mourinho actually hates the back three, he likes to create a stable back and then attack, unless the team is already behind, he will give it a go like Zeman. However, Zeman is also right, the offense can reduce the pressure on the defense.
Cang Yaozu changed into a clean jersey, well, he has a spare jersey. Then I talked to my team-mates and some of the players about Manchester United's away game against Lecce. Lecce led Manchester United 2-1 at half-time and Arsenal trailed Newcastle 1-0 at half-time, with all 10 games played at the same time. Actually, the half-time result doesn't mean much, because as long as the game is not over, anything will happen.
Cang Yaozu and the players replenished some water together and began to prepare to play. As soon as the second half started, Liverpool started fighting, and they didn't want to fall out of the Champions League places, which would be too embarrassing.
For Liverpool's desperateness, Tottenham did not retreat, but fought against Liverpool, yes, there was no retreat, it was just. In fact, now this Tottenham team prefers to attack. Both sides switched attack and defense quickly, which stimulated the fans to stand up nervously.
Liverpool began to put their forces into attack, which led to more space at the back, and Tottenham's several attacks were thanks to James' play to not concede another goal.
It's not that Liverpool don't know that they have problems at the back, but now they are two goals behind, and losing three goals is the same loss as losing one, so they just fight.
This led to a direct explosion by Ronnie, and in the first 15 minutes of the second half, he scored two goals alone, one after shaking off the defender, and the other with Thierry Henry, scoring with a burst in front of goal.
4:0。 In the 75th minute, Zeman made a substitution, replacing Ronnie and bringing Gattuso on, intending to strengthen the control of the midfield.
Ronnie went off the field, and the Liverpool fans also gave applause, Ronnie made one pass and two shots, creating three goals, and Liverpool lost convincingly.
After Ronnie came off the field, Henry and Cang Yaozu were left and right, and Nedved was behind. In the 85th minute of the game, Fowler received a pass from McManaman and pulled a goal back with a burst shot, 4:1, but time was running out.
In the final stages of the game, Tottenham still had a physical advantage in midfield, Zeman replaced Henry with Klinsmann on the right, and the Golden Bombers had reached the end of their careers, but they still had a good goal efficiency on the field, scoring seven goals in the past half season.
Cang Yaozu began to consciously raise the ball, trying to help Klinsmann score a header, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game when stoppage time was over.
At the same time, some substitutes came up to tell the players about the result of Manchester United's game, Manchester United won 3-2 away to Lecce, and it was Darren Anderton who transferred from Tottenham Hotspur to seal the final victory.
It's a coincidence, well, Darren Anderton is not weak at all, and he can still suppress Beckham in the national team.
Then let's see how Manchester United perform next. Hopefully they can have enough stamina, you know, it's four games in nine days, and the more you go on, the more difficult it becomes.
Good luck to Manchester United!
