LRAB Chapter 181
Chapter 181
Liverpool is the only top team in the Premier League that Manchester City has not played against yet.
After the game with Tottenham, Stewart has already started to study Liverpool's tactical system this season.
If Chelsea focuses on defense, Arsenal and Manchester United are more offensive, then Liverpool combines the characteristics of the other three giants.
Between the two ends, a balance point is found.
The golden mean, balanced offense and defense!
The Liverpool led by Benítez highlights the two characteristics of fierceness and efficiency on both offense and defense.
There are both the shadows of Chelsea's quick counterattack and Arsenal's efficient ground cooperation.
Sometimes you cover the team name and see Liverpool in red jerseys and think it is Manchester United playing on the wing to break through and attack.
Liverpool's style this season.
It is inseparable from the training of Rafael Benítez, the head coach who came from the youth training of Real Madrid in La Liga.
In the 2000-01 season, he led Valencia to La Liga. In the first season of the newly promoted team, he won the La Liga championship in 2001-02, and then won the La Liga championship again in the 2003-04 season.
Rafael Benítez, who was honored, combined the style of La Liga with the Premier League, which led to Liverpool, which topped the European summit last season.
Maybe his name is not as loud as Ferguson, Wenger, and Mourinho in the Premier League, but he is definitely a head coach whose comprehensive strength is not weaker than any of the above three.
Fans affectionately call him "Master Bei"!
He has his own coaching style and his own persistence!
So.
How to play Liverpool?
After nearly a month of careful research, Stewart still failed to come up with a clear answer.
Liverpool, which closely cooperates and forms its own system, seems to have no top aspects, but also no weak breakthroughs!
On the court.
The game has been going on for 1 minute. Liverpool, the visiting team, is organizing the attack slowly.
..............................
"Musampa's pressing on the left!"
"Gerrard passes the ball back to Alonso who is responding behind him!"
"Alonso!"
"He made a long pass and found his teammate Garcia on the right accurately!"
"Luis Garcia, a Spaniard who came from the Barcelona youth team, was the main right winger of Valencia's two La Liga titles!"
"After his mentor Benítez came to Liverpool, he called him to the Premier League!"
"Garcia, who joined Liverpool for 9 million euros, quickly gained the trust and support of the fans here."
"He is now Liverpool's main right midfielder!"
"He has contributed several wonderful assists and shots this season!"
While Zhan Jun was explaining, Luis Garcia on the court had successfully broken through Manchester City's right defense.
Knight, who was passed by him, was chasing him relentlessly!
Unlike traditional right-handed players, Luis Garcia is not good at passing the ball from the bottom.
After arriving at the front court, Luis Garcia accelerated and changed direction, then cut inside and rushed to the penalty area!
Distin took the initiative to attack, trying to intercept Luis Garcia outside the penalty area.
But the Spaniard, who played as a midfielder in this game, still has the heart of a winger.
He shook his body continuously, and suddenly knocked the ball with the inside of his right foot and changed direction. The football rolled into the penalty area from the right side of Distin.
Then, Luis Garcia stepped up and accelerated, and passed Distin at the same time.
This ball is dangerous!
"Bang!"
Manchester City captain Dunn appeared in time and sent the football out of his own backcourt with a strong kick.
"From Dunne!"
"A beautiful clearance!"
"Garcia's wing-side cut-in breakthrough is fierce!"
"Almost caused a threatening shot at the beginning!"
"The camera is aimed at Liverpool coach Benítez on the sidelines."
"He seems to be dissatisfied with some of Garcia's choices in this round of attack."
The Manchester City fans who were just extremely nervous at the Etihad Stadium breathed a sigh of relief. On the side of the field, in front of the Liverpool bench, Benítez was spreading his hands to signal Garcia on the field.
"Cross!"
"You have a chance to cross!"
"Garcia, stay calm!"
Benitez tapped his temple, as someone who came all the way from Valencia to Liverpool.
"Master Benítez" Benítez knows the character of his Spanish player very well.
As long as he successfully cuts in and comes to the vicinity of the penalty area, he will fall into the paranoid mood that he must take a shot.
On this side, Benítez is dissatisfied with the operation of his own players, and on the other side, Stuart is straightCold sweat.
"Knight!"
"Keep your distance and defend!"
"That guy likes to dribble past people!"
Both head coaches personally guided the players on the field to attack or defend passionately.
................................
The game is still going on.
The football is currently at the feet of Steven Gerrard.
Liverpool captain!
Member of the golden generation of the England national team!
Ranked second in last year's Ballon d'Or selection, unfortunately losing to Ronaldinho!
Whenever you talk about the best midfielder of this era, you can't avoid the name Steven Gerrard.
An all-around modern midfielder representative, attacking midfielder, forward, defensive midfielder, free man...Since his debut, Steven Gerrard has played almost all the positions in the midfield.
And he can be first-class in every position, can attack and defend, has a tough style of play, and excellent physical fitness.
The Liverpool captain rushed up on the left!
In the past few games, Benitez has put him in the attacking midfielder or right position.
Put him on the left today.
I saw the weakness on the left side of Manchester City, and I hope Steven Gerrard can completely tear apart the defense on the left side.
"Gerrard!"
"Face Musampa!"
"No fancy passing moves!"
"Dribble the ball and speed up!"
"Drag Musampa directly!"
"Go down the bottom!"
"Liverpool's frontcourt players have gathered in front of Manchester City's goal, and launched a fierce attack under the captain's attack horn!"
On the court, Manchester City's midfielders and backcourt players quickly returned to defense, and the red and blue jerseys in the penalty area were intertwined, and there was chaos.
Steven Gerrard paused for a moment.
He directly raised his foot and knocked on the bottom of the football, and the ball flew to the penalty area in front of Manchester City's goal.
At this moment, the Etihad Stadium was very quiet.
A tall figure in a red jersey jumped up, standing out among the players!
"Little Giant" Peter Crouch!
Peter Crouch, who is 2.01 meters tall, is not only the tallest player in Liverpool's history, but also the tallest player in the Premier League!
"Crouch!"
"Header pass!"
"This ball!"
"Uh..."
"It's powerful, but a little weak!"
"The football was caught by James, and Manchester City successfully blocked Liverpool's first direct attack!"
"Crouch's header is good, but the power is indeed a little lacking."
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun sighed, and Wang Tao beside him laughed and teased.
"Teacher Zhan Jun."
"Is it possible that it was Su Fei's violent header."
"Your appetite has been spoiled, haha."
- [Hahaha, Wang Tao said the truth! ]
- [Hey, it's not just Teacher Zhan Jun, the fans' appetite has been spoiled, too. I'm afraid of headers now, and I think it will definitely go in! ]
- [I didn't expect that this Crouch's head looks scary, but the power is so weak. 】
-【Well, then you should just watch the Chinese national football team more. The Chinese national football team’s headers are heading to the sky! 】
-【Don’t mention the Chinese national football team. The World Cup in Germany is coming this year. I get angry when I think about the Chinese national football team missing one goal in the World Cup qualifiers! 】
