Chapter 164 Gerrard's Goal

That's true!

The form of the two teams explains the reason for the attitude of the two coaches.

Manchester City coach Keegan didn't expect Liverpool to send three strikers and form a 433 formation. In this way, Liverpool's formation must move forward. Although the defense against the brunette boy is very successful, Liverpool has three strikers, and the other two strikers are not a decoration.

Don Jack has no chance. He is defended by the targeted card position of the whole Manchester City team. There will not be too many ways to put it on anyone. If he is very conscious, he may find loopholes, but Don Jack's consciousness and overall view are not very good. It is difficult for him to find gaps under such a defense. .

But Liverpool has three strikers!

With Manchester City's defense, the opportunities for Cise and Baroche naturally increase.

Manchester City's defense is originally aimed at the 442 formation. In the case of double strikers, it is impossible for Liverpool to attack too forward and the firepower will not be so fierce. What they can do is to intercept two players on Liverpool's front line and hinder the passing route in the midfield.

The three strikers are completely different.

Cise and Baroche always have a chance. Although there is a chance, they will definitely receive a pass, let alone a goal. However, in the case of tactical failure, there is always a chance.

Benitez soon found this.

So the Spaniard stood on the sidelines happily and personally called Gerrard to let him command the team to continue to press on, and the formation moved forward a little more.

Such a temporary tactical adjustment is very weak, but it has a great effect.

If Manchester City could take care of it at the beginning, after Liverpool's formation moved forward, there was a loophole in their defense immediately. They found that it was difficult for their own defenders to take care of so many Liverpool attacking players. From time to time, there were leaks, which made Manchester City players very annoyed. The opposing goalkeeper Huo Huade kept shouting to get the attention of his teammates, but this kind of thing always happens.

The next ten minutes seemed to be Liverpool's unilateral offensive performance.

Gerard and Cisse on the middle of the road, constantly use passes to tear the line of Manchester City's defense. If the two have a chance, Gerald will shoot directly, and Cisse will choose to break through the penalty area and look for better opportunities. Other good players include Barosh, who stands in the Manchester City penalty area like a benchmark. Even if the Manchester City defenders ignore Don Jack, they will not ignore him, but he always gets the opportunity with his constant penetration. In ten minutes, Baroche scored two consecutive headers, although he did not score. The ball still won a lot of applause from Liverpool fans at Anfield.

On the two sides, the performance of Harman and Riese is a little unsatisfactory. In the attack, the two of them are just a supplement to Liverpool's passing cooperation. As Benitez's view, Harman and Risser have a good level, but their age, health and other reasons make them no longer have the original. Strength.

Now, their performance can only be considered qualified.

However, the two also know their own situation, and they focus more on Liverpool's sideline defense. The two are also very relaxed. The phrase 'attack is the best defense' is not just a saying. Liverpool's attack is smooth, and Manchester City's attack will not be smooth.

In fact, the star Wright on the side road. Phillips hasn't touched the ball for a long time.

※※※

The whole situation on the court seems that Liverpool has taken the majority of the initiative.

But in fact, there are eleven people on both sides. Coincidentally, Benitez's tactics just restrain Keegan's tactics, which is the reason for such a big gap.

The center of the gap is Don Jack.

Although Don Jack himself did not perform well and received a few times, when Manchester City players gave energy to take care of him, the tendency of defensive power caused Manchester City's defense to not take care of all Liverpool players, so Liverpool's offense went smoothly.

Soon, the advantage of this situation became the advantage of scoring.

Among the Liverpool's three strikers, not to mention Don Jack, the level of Cise and Baroche is absolutely guaranteed.

Cise is the top scorer in two seasons of Ligue 1. His strength is recognized, and Barroche has been a talented player in Liverpool for many years, and his experience has long been extremely rich. Even if he really goes to the European field and can't catch up with the more experienced Cise, but at least for the Premier League, Barrow Shi Ke is much more familiar than Cise.

Therefore, it is difficult for Benitez to choose between the two.

In the 26th minute of the game, the two had a perfect cooperation with Gerrard. Gerrard made a high cross outside the penalty area. Baroche successfully competed for the point. A back of his head swings to put the ball to the penalty area line, but Cisse followed a diagonal pass, and Gerard, who was in the empty position, waved his leg and shot---

The football went straight into the Manchester City net, and Howard didn't respond!

"The goal is scored! Goal! Gerard!"

The long-lost goal finally came, and Anfield commentator Bert couldn't help shouting: "Perfect cooperation! Perfect shot! Gerrard, Steven, Gerrard... Our Steven helped the team lead 1-0!!! Steven is really excellent. His goal performance is the strength of Liverpool. His performance is impeccable. The perfect Steven guides us in the direction... I know how to express my excitement, Steven... Steven... Steven... Our favorite..."

In the end, Belt is a little crazy.

Liverpool fans obviously understand him, because they are also caught in this madness. In the madness, Liverpool fans only care about the sound of shouting 'Gerard, Gerard, Gerrard'. As for Barrowsh and Cise, they seem to have been forgotten, and even the commentator Belt does not seem to mention them. The name.

The shouting of the whole audience came into the ears of Liverpool players, and Baroche and Cise could only be looked at by each other, and they felt a little pity for each other.

After working hard for such a long time, it created an opportunity for Gerrard to open the door. The latter easily kicked the goal. As a result, the fans wrote all the credit on Gerrard, which was really unpleasant.

However, there is nothing we can do...

Almost all Liverpool fans are Gerard's supporters, and Cise has just joined Liverpool. Obviously, not many fans are familiar with him. As for Barrosh... This guy is not very good in the impression of Liverpool fans. The 'all kinds of goals' off the court make everyone think that he is a bad boy, and it's not an assist or a goal. It's normal for him to be forgotten.

Fortunately, Gerrard didn't forget the two.

Gerard gave each of them a warm hug and kept saying 'thank you'. This goal was really important to him.

In the past few seasons, with the rise of Gerrard, he and Irving were the bosses of two teams in Liverpool. This is not only formal, but also on the court. The former head coach also acquiesced in this, because both of them performed very well, which can be said to be the best of the team.

Now, the head coach has changed.

The Spaniards obviously don't care about big cards, because of some other reasons of the team's contradictions, England's famous golden boy Owen is directly sold cheaply by Benitez. Although it has nothing to do with Gerrard, there is not much difference in the situation between the two in Liverpool.

On the contrary, the new Spanish coach trusts Gerard.

But this kind of trust still needs to be supported by performance. Gerrard is actually very stressful. He must repay this trust with his performance in the league, so that the trust will not decrease and continue to lead Liverpool to victory one by one as a captain.

Now he has scored!

Although scoring goals in a game is not all the key, goals always account for the majority, and Don Jack's four goals directly become the main force, which is the role of scoring goals. In the eyes of the fans, they will remember the name of the goal scorer for every goal, and the assist will be forgotten...

So, Gerrard is very excited and excited. He is sincerely grateful to Cise and Baroche. Without these two teammates, he would not have been able to get such a chance to shoot.

Gerrard didn't forget to hug Jack Don and said to him, "Jack, keep up the good work. You are the most credit!"

Jack Don's words are a little inexplicable. What credit can he have?

However, considering that Gerrard was excited about scoring a goal and did not forget to 'comfort' himself, Don Jack's fondness for Gerard also rose sharply. No wonder he became the captain of the team and so many people were convinced.

"Thank you! Congratulations!" Don Jack replied.

But Gerrard really doesn't comfort him. The average player's tactical awareness will not reach the coach's level, but Gerrard's tactical awareness is already enough. As a midfield commander, he can clearly interpret his own and the opponent's advantages on the court, the reasons for various performance, etc., so he has long seen Manchester City's vs. Tang Jie. Ke's defense is the key to Liverpool's advantage. It is right to say that Don Jack is the "most meritorious" player on the one hand.

Unfortunately, ordinary people can't see this credit. Even Jack Don himself doesn't know. He is still thinking about how to break through the blockade of Manchester City.
