Chapter 391 Istanbul Night 6
Not only Benitez, but Don Jack is also thinking about this problem.
He has been caught in defense. There is no gap in the front court for himself. Naturally, there is no way to play. Don Jack replaces Baroche's position. He can play left and right in the front court, but for him, this area is still too small. Running back and forth in this 'narrow' area, even if you get the ball and have the opponent's three players to focus on defense, there is naturally no room to play.
The offensive ability of other Liverpool players is obviously insufficient.
Without the drive of Don Jack Don, Liverpool's performance is no different from that of the team in the first half. Don Jack's role is to attract a lot of defensive forces from AC Milan. Liverpool has an offensive momentum, but there is a lack of players who make up their voice. At the beginning of the second half, many balls were passed to AC Milan's penalty area, and the football had been passed back and there at AC Milan's half, but as a result, no one shot, and the attack was always a tiger's head.
Under such circumstances, AC Milan counterattacked frequently!
In the 49th minute, Pirlo hit Liverpool's left side and passed the ball directly to the small penalty area line. With a 'danger' sound, the football hit Dudeck's knee. Crespo immediately knocked back. The inserted Carfoe raised his foot and shot low, and the football was blocked from the bottom line by Gerald.
Liverpool launched an attack again. After a few passes, the football came to Don Jack's feet again. He got the ball at the front of the penalty area, and several players gathered around.
Jack Don's eyes swept, his left foot was hooked in front of the ball, his right foot was buckled in the back, and the football was on the left side of his body. The opponent's player was shaken like this, and his reaction slowed half a beat. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Don Jack rushed back and passed the ball low to the front of the penalty area.
"Hula..." What a wonderful pass!" Shock the whole audience!
There was an exclamation in the audience, AC Milan fans were worried, and Alonso in the middle was unguarded!
The Spanish boy ran two steps forward and shot with his legs!
The football roared and flew towards the goal. This was a strong volley of about 23 meters. The football went straight to the dead corner of the goal. AC Milan goalkeeper Dida rushed to the right, but he knew that he could not reach it.
"Dong!"
With a sound, in everyone's eyes, the football directly hit the left post and flew out of the bottom line, causing the whole audience to sigh.
"Jack was heavily defended by the other side, but he still passed a wonderful pass!! Unfortunately, Liverpool's Spanish player Harvey. Alonso does not cherish the rare opportunity. His shot is very powerful and the angle is also very tricky, but he still hit the post and flew out of the bottom line. The quality of such a shot is very high. Alonso's strength can also be seen, but the current situation is that what Liverpool needs is not a threat, but a goal!"
Goal!
You need to score!
Now Liverpool have no time to make any threats, formations and other things. What they need is a real goal, scoring, and any threat is completely useless. That will reassure AC Milan. A few minutes have passed in the second half, Liverpool still have three goals to chase, even if there are no more threats. Goal is the most important thing.
Don Jack is also lamenting the waste of opportunity.
If it goes on like this, it seems that Liverpool are really going to lose... Three balls, how to chase!?
"No!"
A voice told Don Jack that they must not lose! This is the final of the European Champions League, how can you easily admit defeat! Even if the strength is not good, there is a gap in the lineup, and there are still three goals behind, but if you don't play until the last minute of the game, how can you admit defeat!
We won't lose!
Intellectually, Don Jack thinks that he can't continue in this position. Let the opponent focus on the defense, and you will become very passive and can't carry the ball. It is very difficult to break through the defense of several world-class players without speed.
"Steve Steven, change the position!" He came to the backcourt, wiped his sweat, and said to Gerrard.
"Change the position?" Gerald frowned.
Don Jack's current situation is not caused by changing positions. Now when it comes to this topic, Gerrard is still a little hesitant. Don Jack continued, "Steven, do you also want to win the Champions Cup?"
"Of course!" Gerrard did not hesitate at all.
Jack Don breathed a deep breath and said, "We have no hope. We are three goals behind. We have to equalize the score to hope to win." Speaking of this, Gerrard was also a little disappointed, but he turned excited and said, "Jack, we will win!" Believe me!"
"No!"
Don Jack said, "I never said we would lose!" Steven, this is my last game in Liverpool. I don't think we will have any competition in the future. It's the same with Jamie. Why do we keep fighting for the position in the last game? Now it's the game. Winning the game is the most important thing. I think I can play the best in your position. I think the team has a greater hope of winning by changing positions! So what about you? What do you think is the chance of Liverpool winning without changing the current situation?
Gerrard looked at Jack Don solemnly, as if he saw the fighting spirit in his eyes. He hesitated and said, "Okay, Jack, I believe you!" He said so.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
Don Jack and Gerrard patted each other and saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes!
As the soul of Liverpool, Gerrard is loved by fans not only because of his skills, but also because of his unyielding spirit. Although he is now three goals behind, Don Jack knows that even if he does not play, Gerrard will not easily admit defeat! This is Gerrard, who inherited the spirit of Liverpool football.
At this point, they have something in common, so they can become good friends. There is no contradiction or competition, but Don Jack's appreciation and recognition of Gerard remain unchanged.
Don Jack also knows that it is very difficult for Gerrard to make this decision.
Now the English media all know that the conflict between Don Jack and Liverpool is because of position competition. Don Jack is 'stubborn' that he performs better in the midfield, so he is very unhappy with Carragher and Gerald, who firmly believe that they can play a greater role in the midfield and are more helpful to the team. .
This cannot be confirmed.
Unless Don Jack can stay longer in Liverpool and adapt to various positions to verify, no one knows which side can do better. In fact, Gerard and Carragher also know that they can't do better than Don Jack, because Don Jack can bring continuous goals and the team's attack in this position. The defense has obviously risen to a higher level. But everyone has their own decision. Don Jack is in this position, so what about them? As pure Liverpool native stars, they also want to contribute to the team and become the favorite stars of Liverpool fans. They must stick to themselves.
Don Jack asked to change his position. If he can really do better in the backcourt, it seems to prove that Don Jack can do better than Gerard and Carragher. The fault is on the side of Gerard and Carragher... This has gone beyond the scope of pure competition.
However, Gerrard still agreed.
For victory!
