Chapter 165 Center 1

After celebrating the goal, the game starts again. Because of Gerrard's goal, the two teams are not at the same starting point. Liverpool takes the lead, so Manchester City must score a goal if they want to get points.

However, it's different now.

Their tactics are completely suppressed, and the large-scale adjustment of tactics is not clear in a word or two. Keegan is very anxious off the court, but there is nothing he can do. He can only keep praying in his heart that the first half will end quickly. In the case of one goal behind, Manchester City is still likely to equal, but if it is Wupu scored another goal and fell behind two goals. At the Anfield Stadium, even Keegan felt that there was little hope.

In this way, after Liverpool scored, the game between the two sides did not seem to have changed at all.

Liverpool still has a great advantage in the game. The stormy attack makes Manchester City tired of fighting. They can only make up for the leaks again and again. At this time, the busiest person in the game will be Manchester City goalkeeper James. Although he is not the most touched the ball, as a goalkeeper, he sees the football flying in his own penalty area. Flying around, its nervousness can be imagined.

He kept running back and forth in front of the door, and always shouted to remind his teammates to pay attention to the defense on that side and so on. After this half of the game, James felt that his throat was almost hoarse. It was the first time he was so tired in the game.

When did Liverpool become so powerful?

Last season, the two teams played against each other twice, and Manchester City played one win and one loss without falling behind. James still remembers the feeling during the game, which seems to be... Is it easy?

Recently, Liverpool has become the focus of the media because they are trying to introduce two Spanish midfielders, which makes the whole England very interested, but even if those two midfielders are better, it is not... Haven't you come yet?

Can those two guys increase Liverpool's strength if they haven't come yet?

Halo effect?

James doesn't know what he is thinking. In short, he just thinks that Liverpool is surprisingly strong today. Even at Anfield Stadium, it should not be like this. At least his team's lineup is not much worse than Liverpool's. How can he play the game is so much worse.

James feels that other Manchester City players are not much better.

Manchester City players feel that they are not playing against Liverpool, but with a European gold medal giant. The other side is not like Liverpool, but Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid... In a word, now they feel like a competition at the same level, but their own strength is much worse.

It's really depressing!

The feeling of Don Jack and Manchester City players is not much different. Although Manchester City players feel a lot of pressure, they play well. Their defense of Jack Don is still so tight. As a result, Jack Don now takes the ball every three minutes on average, and there are two or three Manchester City players from around each time. Surround him and let him have no room to shoot.

Don Jack has an impulse to beat people... But reason still asked him to pass the ball to his teammates.

Happy for Manchester City players and Don Jack, the first half of the game will end soon. They don't have to continue to suffer here. In the first half, Gerrard scored the only goal. The reward of Manchester City's efforts is that they did not lose another goal.

After the referee blew the whistle, the Liverpool player walked into the player's channel with a smile on his face and returned to the locker room to rest. The only one who did not laugh was Don Jack. For him, the first half was really depressing.

※※※

In the locker room of the home team, Benitez also came in with a smile. Looking at his face, he knew that he was very satisfied with the first half. However, in the locker room, Benitez immediately became solemn. He first praised everyone's performance in the first half: "Everyone played well in the first half, which is worthy of praise. . We got an advantage of scoring a goal. Here, I will focus on Jack, Jack. Don't care about the first half. It's normal for Manchester City to have no chance for you to defend you. As long as you insist, there is no problem in winning the game.

Looking at the Spanish's confident face, everyone feels that this game is already winning. However, Jack Tang still doesn't quite understand. It is reasonable that if he doesn't perform well, he should be replaced. The coach seems to be quite satisfied with himself: "Oh, thank you." He could only say so, but he was still thinking about how to kick it later.

At this time, Benitez has begun to arrange the tactics of the second half.

In the first half, due to Keegan's tactical mistakes, Liverpool had a great advantage. In fact, Benitez was not satisfied with the score. In such a big advantage, the team only scored one goal, which was really a little less.

However, there is nothing he can do about it.

He is very clear about Liverpool's disadvantages. Even if the forward line has an advantage, the attack also has an advantage, but only Gerrard among the midfielders can still struggle to support. The advantage of the front line needs the continuous support of the midfield to ensure the efficiency of the goal, but only Gerrard can obviously not do it.

He remembered Harvey who came to the club today. Alonso, which box is that boy watching the game now?

These ideas just went around in my mind, and Benitez was still talking about the tactics of the second half: "... In the second half, you must pay attention to the formation, don't press too forward, put it properly at the beginning, and pay more attention to defense. When attacking, you should also pay attention not to press too forward.

"John and Sami (Riser, Hepia), you should pay more attention to defense. Don't attack too forward on the sidelines. Our offensive focus is still on the middle. If the opponent's defense is too tight, try to hit Barrosh's point. Barrosh, you should pay attention to the position. In the first half, I saw that your position is always parallel to Cise. You don't want to look at the ball, but pay more attention to the opponent's guard line!"

"... Press forward more, as long as it is not offside... I don't think you are a qualified center. You always run backwards. What do you run for? It's not Jibril and Jack there!"

......

In the locker room, Benitez has been talking about tactics throughout the process of arranging tactics, but when it was Baroche's turn, he took care of him, which made the latter very depressed.

Benitez is really not satisfied with Barosh.

Barosh is 184 centimeters tall and weighs 65 kilograms. He is a strong impact striker, but as a strong center, this is not very qualified. Fortunately, Barosh's speed is very fast, his shooting ability is also very strong, and his disk technology is also good. He is the main force of the Czech team and the gold of the European Cup this summer. Boots.

However, it is also a balance of all aspects of ability, which affects his performance.

Now, due to the weakness of the midfield, Benitez used Cise more as a shadow striker, and Baroche was pushed down to the center position. Baroche's passing ability is not very good, and he can barely be competent as a center, but Liverpool does not have the strong midfielder control ball like Czech captain Nedved. Member, Baroche doesn't get much support. In addition, he always likes to hang out in the penalty area and wastes a lot of Liverpool opportunities. Of course, Benitez will not be satisfied.

But there is nothing we can do. Liverpool only have two centers. As a shadow striker, Barrosh must be qualified as a center.

Don Jack seems to have been forgotten...

"Boss, can you let me play center? Milan and I will change positions..." Listening to Benitez's 'remind' Baroche, Don Jack felt that he should share it for his friends. In fact, the main reason was that he was too depressed in the first half, and he also wanted to try to change his position.

Hearing Don Jack's words, Barosh immediately gave him a secret thumbs up and shouted in his heart that he was too loyal!

Barosh really doesn't want to play the center. The team's center should have been Cise. Liverpool's midfield is weak, so he can't get any support when playing the center. There is no guaranteed position for the goal. Who is willing to play?

"You?"

Benitez was puzzled: "Jack, do you play center?" But he was puzzled.

Everyone who hears that Jack Tang plays the center will wonder that Jack Tang is not taller than Cise, and his body looks thin and weak in the East. Such a player is really different from playing the center. What's more, Jack Tang's long-range shot is so powerful that there are definitely no more opportunities to play the center than the shadow striker, which is obviously a waste.

Benitez also regards this as Don Jack's sympathy for Baroche... So, he shook his head and didn't continue to 'remind' Barrosh. He just continued to arrange tactics, as if he didn't hear Don Jack's words at all.

In fact, Benitez has already thought about it in his mind.

What is the reason for Liverpool's tactical advantage in the first half? Not bad Manchester City's tactical layout for this brunette boy!

If this brunette boy enters the penalty area, then Manchester City will not need to arrange any tactics at all. They only need to defend close to the penalty area like defending Barrosh. Because the space in the penalty area is limited, it is not easy for Jack Don to receive a pass, and it is not as troublesome as getting stuck in the route.

In this way, it is a loss both from a tactical point of view and from a threat point of view.
