v5 Chapter 80： Manchester City's offense

Intermediate break wins in particular emphasized the possible counterattack in Liverpool's second half. He told the team to pay more attention to defense and said nothing to Robbie Fowler. He believes that mature players like Robbie Fowler are No need to say too much, just let him understand what he means and inspire his fighting spirit.

At the beginning of the second half, Wan Sheng followed everyone back from the locker room to the court. Before calling on, he called Robbie Fowler and patted his shoulder and said, "Come on! Robbie!"

"I will, boss!"

Robbie Fowler nodded seriously.

After a dozen minutes of rest, he already wanted to understand the meaning of Wan Sheng, and he also knew more about where his problems on the court were.

Injury is indeed a big problem, but he probably should also believe the young coach in front of him. Recently, he has indeed felt in good health. Apart from this, he must actually dare to fight. In the Premier League field for so many years, he knows not to The consequence of daring to fight is that the performance will not be good. If the performance is not good, it is better to simply fight with the opponent.

After he firmly answered, he turned and walked into the stadium.

Wan Sheng looked at his back with a smile, and slowly walked back to the coach seat, waiting for the game to start. He still has to observe Robbie Fowler's status, but he is not too worried, but he is looking forward to it.

Liverpool did not make substitutions in the second half, and Manchester City did not make substitutions. Some of the commentators who analyzed the two teams ’substitutions were all wrong. Many of them analyzed that Andy Cole may play, like George Woodgate. The statement, "Wan Sheng has given Fowler enough playing time, but the latter almost disappeared on the court in the second half of the first half."

"Perhaps Finnan's foul was still somewhat influential. If Andy Cole played, Liverpool's defense would face a greater threat."

This statement has been widely supported, but unfortunately Manchester City did not change substitutions, Andy Cole is still on the bench, and it is Robbie Fowler who plays.

The commentator who supported Manchester City said, "Now the score is 1: 0. Manchester City has the advantage of the score. It is Robbie Fowler who created the penalty opportunity. His condition is actually good ..."

...

After the second half started, Liverpool immediately launched an attack. They are one goal behind, which is also a necessary choice.

Wan Sheng had expected Liverpool to do this, and had already arranged the defense.

From the start, Manchester City's formation was stable.

Although it was suppressed by Liverpool's massive offensive for a time, it was actually. Manchester City's defense is still very solid, Liverpool is attacking, but there is no good chance, there is no threat to the goal.

At the beginning, Manchester City fans were still worried about their goals, but they did n’t worry much about time after time, because Liverpool ’s attack was difficult to reach the front of the penalty area.

The opportunity to attack soon fell to the foot of Manchester City.

Goalkeeper James did not make a big kick kick, but steadily threw the ball to captain Distin.

Distin looked around and transferred the ball to Reto Ziegler.

Liverpool coach Benitez apparently did more than just attack, and their formation pressed very forward. The advantage of this is that it can be forced to grab in the frontcourt, but also makes the fight intense, and gives the team more opportunities.

Manchester City are not in a hurry to face the pressure. Their tactics are always full attack and defense. The pressure is always done. This is also the way they suppress their opponents, so they are able to deal with no panic, but every player can calmly respond. .

Liverpool originally intended to use oppression to **** the situation to suppress the situation, but did not achieve substantial results. They found that the situation was different from what they had imagined. After they were forced to rob, Manchester City were still calm, but they made them a little uncomfortable.

This is mainly because Manchester City players run more than they do.

In Wansheng's tactics. Everyone must continue to run, so as to leave more room for cooperation. When Liverpool rushed for the whole game, after the formation was opened, they ran not as much as Manchester City. As a result, the space in the frontcourt was pulled more. Big. So that Manchester City can easily pass the ball.

So Manchester City's offensive is even sharper!

After Reto Ziegler handed the ball to Morris again, he ran forward slowly. When he ran to the center line, the football had already passed from Joey Barton's feet and passed to him again.

Ziegler stopped the ball steadily. When he looked around, he found that the Liverpool player was far away from him. He tried to take two steps forward. When he saw the other defender rushing over, he immediately transferred the ball to Joey Button.

Joey Button takes the ball and then crosses Morris.

There is no one around Morris. He can take two steps forward with peace of mind. At the same time, Manchester City's formation has also moved forward, because it is Morris who takes the ball, and this is a good opportunity to attack.

Morris is a midfielder. In fact, he is the core of the organization and the brain of the team. When he gets the ball, Manchester City is likely to launch a tough attack.

It depends on the timing.

When the timing is good, you can attack. If the timing is not good, continue to search. It is Morris who makes the judgment. Liverpool is very aware of this, so they focus on Morris.

When he saw Morris got the ball and was unmanned, two players immediately pushed him up. One was Harvey Alonso and the other was Gerald.

Xavi Alonso is an offense-oriented player, but in Liverpool, everyone must participate in defense, Alonso is no exception, this game he spent most of the time in the backcourt, he and Gera Germany's midfielder defense created a lot of trouble for Manchester City.

In the face of the two men's defense, Morris is very experienced.

Last season, Morris played against various strong teams and accumulated a lot of experience. His strength is already strong. Coupled with the experience of a season in the top league, he is not weaker than those world-class midfielders. Gerald is only as good as him. In the English team, although it is difficult for him to replace Gerald, no one will say that his strength is weaker than Gerald. Gerald is the main force or because of his qualifications Or tactical needs.

Faced with the defense of Gerald and Alonso, Morris no longer craved the ball and decisively transferred the ball out, which disappointed those who were expecting Morris and Gerald to meet, and this pass It's also very plain, just a crossover transfer.

But for the game on the court, it is precisely this kind of plain pass!

Morris completed the pass, like a signal, so that Manchester City's entire formation followed the movement, looking down from above. Manchester City's three-line formation quickly pushed forward, and Liverpool suddenly faced the pressure of the storm.

When Gerrard hadn't responded yet, Morris had suddenly started to rush over him.

Gerald was about to turn around to keep up, but he saw that football had been passed back again. It was just at the foot of Morris, who was about to sigh Manchester City's tacit understanding, but Morris passed the ball again, and he stabbed the ball directly to the right of the penalty area.

Gerald watched Manchester City pass again and again, but was powerless.

There is no one on the right side of the penalty area. He prayed that this was a bad pass, but he was disappointed in the next moment. The veteran Reina, who started from the right forward, had rushed up, and he steadily ran over the ball.

Liverpool immediately realized the danger!

Reina made a ball stop motion in the penalty area line. The surrounding Liverpool players immediately passed around without giving him time to adjust, but they did not expect Reina to pass the ball again. He kicked the ball back into the middle.

The camera then pointed to the middle road, and saw that the middle road was Morris!

Gerald went to follow others, and Alonso's attention was in the penalty area. Unexpectedly, football could still pass back, so when Morris took the ball, there was no one to defend.

"Danger!"

Many Liverpool people realized it.

Gerald immediately wanted to pounce again, but Morris still did not plan to take the ball himself, he passed the ball again.

This time he gave it to Joey Button on the right.

Manchester City moved several times in a row in front of the Liverpool penalty area to make Liverpool's defense in a mess. Joey Barton turned the ball. There was only one Alonso next to him, and Alonso followed him closely. At the same time, other Manchester City players also began to cooperate with the running, the entire formation was running, and in contrast, Liverpool's defensive formation has long been chaotic.

Take advantage of the opportunity. Joey Button sent the ball to Anelka's feet with a single kick.

Liverpool is suddenly facing the enemy!

Manchester City's two players are the most threatened. Liverpool must pay attention to defense. One is Morris as the core, and the other is Anelka. Anelka has a strong body and excellent technology. His recent state is very good.

Now Anelka gets the ball near the penalty area. The threat is too great.

Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher has been watching Anelka.

In the first half, Anelka scored only one penalty, the other play was not very conspicuous, so Carragher subconsciously felt that Anelka was definitely going to shoot!

...

Wan Sheng saw Anelka got the ball, his expression was more serious, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

He is looking forward to the next scene, and now is also the opportunity for Manchester City.

Anelka got the ball and made Liverpool's defense very nervous. They thought Anelka wanted to come alone and had a tight handle on the goal. But Anelka didn't bring the ball, but passed the ball. .

The football was shifted to the side, and Sinclair followed to finish the shot.

It's a pity that the ball was a bit high, Manchester Stadium all sighed, and Sinclair was also very annoyed. It was a very good shooting opportunity just now. For him, there are not many such opportunities.

Wan Sheng also had some regrets, but he was not annoyed because he saw what he wanted to see from the offense. The whole team cooperated and played very smoothly. Anelka transferred the pass and created a good shooting opportunity.

These are enough.

...

Liverpool are aware of the danger, but they are behind, they can only continue to maintain the offensive, hoping to break Manchester City's goal first.

But this was a bit whimsical.

Soon Manchester City carried out a quick offensive again. The attack was still launched from the middle. After a series of cooperation, the football was handed over to Anelka and Liverpool was once again facing the enemy.

This time Anelka didn't pass the ball any more, but chose to break through directly!

Facing the tough Anelka ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Liverpool players are more defensive in their defense, Carragher is close to him for the first time, trying to pester him to interfere with the ball, but then, Anelka suddenly Stop, pull the ball back and poke your heels behind you.

Carragher did not react at all!

This is not the team's usual cooperation, but Anelka has just brought the ball over and is very sure that there will be teammates in that position to keep up, so he passed the ball.

"Anelka broke into the penalty zone! Carragher was defending him, he was entangled!"

"Oh? Pass! It's the pass! Anelka passed the ball behind him, an exquisite heel, Robbie Fowler! God, Robbie Fowler!"

George Woodgate exclaimed.

Robbie Fowler has already got the ball in the big penalty area line, no one is defending beside him, and he swings his right leg easily without any obstacles!

At the next moment, Manchester Stadium fell into a sea of ​​cheers! (To be continued.)
