Chapter 175 utilitarian football 3

In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Redk Knapp still wanted the team to fight back, but after waiting for the whole first half, under the command of Benitez, Liverpool left almost no loopholes for Portsmouth. It seems that unless Portsmouth sends more players to participate in the attack, it will almost be Liverpool's goal. It's impossible.

However, Redk Knapp can't let the team play an offensive battle with Liverpool, that is to say, Liverpool has long been invincible. How can they play next?

Redknapp didn't know that at halftime, he just told the players to pay attention to defense. Even if Anfield can only get one point, it is completely acceptable. For a relegation team like them, taking one point in the hands of every big team is simply a big victory.

Portsmouth's tactics remained unchanged in the second half. When the players gave up the attack, the defense became tighter.

And Liverpool players are a little anxious!

This is at Anfield. They always play like this and can't break the deadlock. If they are really dragged by Portsmouth to the end of the game, it will be a failure for them. It's not a joke to get two less league points. Now Arsenal is so strong, and the Blues Chelsea have three consecutive victories. It's easy to widen the gap between the two points, and it's too difficult to catch up.

You don't have to think about it. This season's championship battle must be very hard. They don't want to fall at the feet of such a team first.

In order to break the deadlock, Jack Don soon returned to the center position. Gerrard's temporary plan is to use Jack Don's impact in the penalty area to find opportunities for others. This is a temporary adjustment of the offensive tactic. Don Jack is used to attract defensive pressure, so that Seyce and other midfielders will definitely have more opportunities.

So, 20 minutes later in the second half, Don Jack simply stood still in the penalty area, while the Liverpool players hung the ball into the penalty area again and again. Don Jack kept running in the penalty area, trying to take the opportunity to hit the goal with a header. In this way, Portsmouth's defenders put most of their energy on Don Jack. Even so, they were a little surprised to find that this new Liverpool player can still score the ball again and again. As long as the football falls a little bit, Portsmouth's defender seems to become uncompetitive.

Is this the gap?

Portsmouth players are a little terr out of it, but Liverpool players don't think so much. After the Portsmouth players shifted their focus to Don Jack, they finally have more opportunities outside the penalty area.

At this time, the fans of Anfield Stadium were also hot, because they saw that the black-haired boy in the penalty area had been hitting, which was nothing once or twice, but the continuous impact had become a good scenery. This scene was really rare. Looking at the black-haired boy, many fans suddenly Thinking of Manchester United's Fan. Nistrruid, the Dutch striker always becomes the center of the opponent's defense in the penalty area, because if he doesn't pay attention, the Dutchman will turn around and volley, which almost means a goal.

Jack Don has become the focus again.

Unfortunately, he really don't have many opportunities. Although his teammates pass the ball one after another, under the defense of so many players, it's amazing that he can touch the ball in the penalty area. If you want to head the goal, it depends on the opportunity. It's almost impossible to stop the ball and find a good opportunity. Goal... Not to mention the difficulty.

But other Liverpool players have a lot of opportunities.

For example, Cisse and Gerrard, these two guys are much more active outside the penalty area. They occasionally insert into the other side of Don Jack in the penalty area, so that the defensive pressure is not great, and they will shoot directly if they have a chance.

You will always get a good opportunity again and again.

The two of them were right. Soon the opportunity came. This was still a high pass. The pass was passed by Cowell on the side. This guy has not been in good shape recently, and the foot ball is also a little lucky. The football was kicked on the side and hung directly to the left. In fact, Don Jack was on the right, and Cowell also played against Don Jack. But when he played, the football fell into a little. At this time, Cisse just inserted in from the penalty area, and the football fell straight down to his feet!

Before the Portsmouth defender behind Cise caught up, he had stopped the ball with his feet. In the running, Cise put the ball in front of him with his heel. This highly technical action won a lot of cheers. The next moment, Cise waved his legs and shot directly!

The football flew into the Portsmouth net without any suspense.

One to zero.

After 79 minutes of hard play, France's striker Cisé finally scored a goal for Liverpool, breaking the deadlock between the two teams. The goal seemed to have suddenly wiped out the efforts of Portsmouth.

What is conservative?

What is utilitarian football?

After Cisse scored a goal, Benitez interpreted these two problems vividly. Just a minute ago, Portsmouth was still conservative. The whole team participated in the defense, while Liverpool was looking for opportunities. After Cisse scored, the situation changed directly. Benitez personally took the battle and stood. He shouted at Gerrard on the sidelines and told him the next tactics.

After the kick-off, Liverpool immediately replayed the whole line.

Even Don Jack returned to his half to participate in defense. Although his defensive level is really a little, his continuous running still plays a great role in the overall defense of the team, which has caused a lot of trouble for Portsmouth's attack. More importantly, the significance of Don Jack's return to defend: Liverpool retreats across the whole line. Don't take the initiative to attack at all...

Seeing Benitez's despicable and shameless tactics, Portsmouth coach Redk Knapp almost spit blood angrily. It was not over. Benitez completely carried out his lifeless style. He stood on the scene regardless of his demeanor and personally commanded the team's defense, so that all Liverpool fans at Anfield finally saw it. The Spaniard is conservative.

According to reason, the level of the two teams is very different. Liverpool's continued attack is likely to bring the second goal and the third goal. The probability of winning is very high, but Benitez doesn't think so at all.

The result of that is really good, but in the same way, Portsmouth may also score a goal. In case they advance one, the result will not be very good...

And now this tactic can completely guarantee Liverpool to win.

Although it is not 100%, at the front line level of Portsmouth, how good is it necessary to break the turtle golden shell of Liverpool's All-Star lineup in ten minutes?

In a word, in order to ensure a stable win, full-line defense is the best choice.

As a result, all the Portsmouth players almost burst into tears. Don't mention their depression. Think about the full-line attack now? But what about the defense? Even if the other side only has a black-haired boy who has the opportunity to participate in the fast attack, that boy is the defensive object emphasized by the head coach. In fact, it is self-evident that they can't let go of the defense at all.

And defense, right?

Fuck's Liverpool, they put a turtle shell, and we also defend. What kind of bird game is this? And the main reason is that Portsmouth is now lagging behind. Liverpool can afford it, but they can't afford it!

In a daze, Portsmouth's attack was in a mess, and Liverpool didn't seem to encounter any defensive pressure at all.

And Portsmouth coach Redk Knapp is even more depressed. Now he only feels that he should criticize Benitez at the post-match press conference. This Spaniard is simply an asshole, a football scum!

"Fuck! Fuck his whole family!"

Under the tactical command of Benitez, in the mood of Redknapp, and in the strength gap between the two teams, the final result of the game can be imagined: 1 to zero, Liverpool easily defeated Portsmouth at home...

This is a game with no suspense at all.

However, the whole game made everyone feel depressed, even Liverpool fans. Originally, the team's strength was so strong that it could also win when it was released, but this conservative Spaniard... Many fans feel that they have nothing to say.

But the team won and easily took all three points. They can't criticize the head coach, can they?

People who do that are definitely not loyal Liverpool fans, but like people who are purely looking for trouble, such as reporters at the post-match press conference. Many reporters are dissatisfied with Liverpool's final performance and constantly question Benitez's tactical decision, believing that he is too conservative, bringing Liverpool a 'bad' atmosphere, bad tactical ideas, and 'pure and flawless utilitarian football'...
