Chapter 240 Towards Maturity
This goal stunned Rivaldo.
As the World Footballer of the Year, Rivaldo has much more experience. He has played against the Premier League team many times and has some understanding of the English style. But after all, he has never participated in the Premier League, and his understanding of the style of the Premier League has certain limitations. Rivaldo feels that such a goal is really unpredictable.
And... Helpless.
Just now, Rivaldo just thought that he had made a mistake, and then the other side scored such an outrageous goal. In Rivaldo's football world, goals should be gorgeous, and there are many ways to score goals, but he never thought of using his personal skills to break through the opponent and shoot directly.
Rivaldo feels that this straightforward way is not desirable.
But the brunette boy from Liverpool scored two goals in this way, and he had to face up to it.
"Changes should be made..." Rivaldo is helpless.
He knows what to do next, that is, to use his ability to drive the whole team to score goals, improve the morale of his teammates to fight against Liverpool, and score goals.
Now, his team is one goal behind, and the goal is the main goal. Although I have to admit it, Rivaldo knows the struggle between his defense and the black-haired boy's attack, and he still lost. As the world's top player, Rivaldo is very unwilling. He wants to find the field from the attack.
So, after the game restarted, Rivaldo began to use his big picture and personal skills to lead Olympiacos to attack.
Rivaldo's football is gorgeous!
In Olympiacos' attack, Rivaldo is irreplaceable. The reason why he didn't play in the first half was more because of his physical fitness, which had nothing to do with his own skills. Rivaldo's football is much more gorgeous than Gerrard's. He is a natural midfield commander. His exquisite passing and gorgeous footwork can greatly increase the team's offensive power.
In the situation that Liverpool had not yet reacted, in the 81st minute of the attack, Rivaldo first shook away Gerard and Carragher, and then cut into the middle, but stuffed the ball straight to the side. Then the Olympiacos player on the side was unguarded, easily passed the middle, and the teammates who followed immediately carried it up. The foot shot, but the football hit the goalpost and popped up the bottom line.
"It's a pity..."
With the gorgeousness of the front, the football failed to score, which makes some Liverpool players feel a pity. As professional football, they want to win, but they also have a love for football.
After these few minutes of competition, they have learned deeply about the horrors of Rivaldo.
This world-class ball control master, his personal skills are too comprehensive and gorgeous!
If it is a comparison, Liverpool launches an attack, passes the ball to the penalty area and gets a shooting opportunity. If the effort to be made is 'ten', Rivaldo, with his gorgeous technology and exquisite passing, he wants to lead the team to find an opportunity. The effort to make is only 'five', 'six' or even less.
This is the strength of a generation of ball control masters.
However, it can't be said that Olympiacos with Rivaldo is better than Liverpool. The main reason is that the average difference between the players between the two sides is too big. Although Rivaldo is strong, football is a game of eleven people. Other Olympiacos players can't keep up with his skills at all. He can only constantly create opportunities, but the team Friends are wasting opportunities again and again.
This makes Liverpool still suppress Olympiacos as a whole.
In Liverpool, there are eleven people on the court, and the most eye-catching is still Don Jack. Unlike Rivaldo's football, Don Jack's football is not gorgeous at all. It should be said that the word 'gorgeous' has nothing to do with him, and his football is 'barbaric' if the fans describe it.
** Naked 'barbaric'!
Many people like gorgeous football, because it is more eye-catching and the game will be better, but Don Jack will not. When he first came into contact with football, he also liked to practice fancy skills. But after the experience of the Bundesliga, Jack Tang has abandoned the original idea. In the real professional field, that The half-hanging technology is completely impractical. It can easily change direction. Why do you need to do a few bicycles?
It's not only a waste of time, but also a waste of your physical energy!
Therefore, the Liverpool attack led by Don Jack is simple and direct. Passing the ball is passing the ball, and shooting is shooting the goal. Perhaps the two sides and a few Spaniards have good disk skills, but others can't find anything gorgeous at all. They have been using the simplest and direct technology to Olympiacos plays the game.
But it's just this simplicity, but it's difficult for Olympiakos to defend.
※※※
The game lasted for eighty-fifth minutes, and the two teams had another **-like confrontation.
Under the leadership of Rivaldo, the Olympiacos team played a wave of classic cooperation. Rivaldo and two Olympiacos players cooperated continuously in the midfield. Finally, Rivaldo divided the ball to the left. After Olympiacos left-back Mirb will pull the ball and shake off Josemi's interception, another He kicked the ball into the middle open space.
At this time, Rivaldo just plugged in.
"Look at this ball... Good opportunity! Rivaldo..." The live commentator is crazy.
And Rivaldo also received the ball along the run. Then he stopped and stretched out his foot to pick the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area. The Olympiacos player there jumped up but headed back and passed it back to Rivaldo. Rivaldo got the ball again and there was no defensive player. In an instant, he chose to swing. Leg twitching.
In the end, the football was blocked out of the penalty area by Gerrard's body, but the ball won the applause of the Greek fans in the audience.
This is not over yet. The football did not go out of bounds, and the game did not stop. After the football was blocked from the penalty area by Gerrard, it was blocked by Louis. Garcia grabbed it. Garcia did not waste time to show off his feet, but passed it directly to the middle. Carragher directly passed the ball to the open space in front of him. The fans saw a figure in a Liverpool jersey and quickly ran to the open space.
That speed is really terrible!
An Olympiacos player beside him was thrown farther and farther away. Soon, he got the ball, and then an Olympiacos player also came up from the front, but the player did not stop at all, and rushed straight forward with the ball. His speed was too fast, even with the name next to the ball. The Olympiacos player was still thrown away, and after reaching the bottom line, he could calmly stop the ball and start to cross.
The football was kicked in front of the door.
At this time, the fans noticed the player's number, '10', which made Olympiacos fans a little chill. At the same time, another Liverpool player rushed up in the penalty area, which was the right-wing Gibryll. Cissé, in the case of a Frenchman with a player next to him, he stepped forward with his left foot and kicked the ball into the net with a straight kick before the goalkeeper attacked.
One to three.
The goal is so simple!
"What a pity... Liverpool scored another goal!" The commentator also had to admit that the Olympiacos team had no hope in this game: "We are going to lose. Although we don't want to admit it, there is still a big gap between the team and the Premier League giants like Liverpool. In the whole game, we only won the first half."
That's not bad!
As a top professional player, Rivaldo is even more unwilling!
Rivaldo is not unwilling to lose. In fact, Rivaldo can come to Greece and come to the unknown Olympiacos, which itself means that he wants to withdraw from the most gorgeous football circle in Europe and leave the attention of the public. After all, Rivaldo is already 33 years old, whether it is physical or state. It is impossible to compare with before.
In such a Greek club, how easy is it to talk about hegemony with European giants? Rivaldo is a man, not a god. He has been prepared for losing.
What Rivaldo can't accept is that his gorgeous football lost to 'savage football'. In his opinion, the style of the English team, especially the current Liverpool, is completely barbaric. Their passing, shooting and tactical system are almost straightforward, but it is so straightforward, but Rivaldo and Olympiacos have nothing to do.
He even felt that this was a regression of football culture...
But no matter what, Olympiacos finally lost. The final score was one to three. The two teams could not score again in the last time. At the end of the game, not only Olympiacos, but also the Liverpool players breathed a long sigh.
This game is too difficult.
Judging from the score, Liverpool seems to win easily, but everyone who has watched the game knows that it is not easy to win the game. Olympiacos has Rivaldo, and their offensive ability is really strong. In addition, Liverpool's tactics were suppressed in the first half. Some young people in Olympiacos rely on a boost. It makes the whole Liverpool team in a hurry.
Winning is not only strength, but also some luck.
"It's hard for us to win."
At the post-match press conference, Benitez said calmly, "Yes, as you can see, the game was very difficult. At the beginning, we were careless, but I just want to say that it is because we are not mature enough. I will try my best to lead the team to maturity step by step.
