Chapter 475 Don Jack VS Gerrard 2
Jack has attracted the attention of all the fans, but the Liverpool players on the court are more concerned about Luke, who is struggling to break through with the ball. Gerrard quickly commanded his teammates to support the right side. At the same time, he himself was close to Don Jack to defend. Gerrard knew too much about Don Jack. The consequence of letting this guy play was to be scored. It was so simple, and this result was unacceptable to Liverpool.
Similarly, Crouch in the front court can't accept the game like this.
As a newcomer to Liverpool, Crouch seems to have little affection for Liverpool, but this is wrong, because Crouch was born in Liverpool and grew up in Liverpool when he was a child. However, because of his clumsy figure, he has not been favored by the Liverpool youth team, so he chose to leave London and wore hot tattoos. The team has a place.
Crouch's first Premier League team is also Tottenham Hotspur, but he has not played in any league. The Tottenham Hotspur coach also thinks Crouch's figure is too clumsy. In 2000, the 19-year-old Crouch was loaned to Sweden's low group club Hesligol. A year later, Crouch moved to the Queens Park Rangers in League One, playing 42 league games and scoring 10 goals.
Since the 2001-02 season, Crouch has started his frequent transfer career, playing for some Premier League downstream clubs, including Portsmouth and Aston Villa. Crouch scored 6 goals in a total of 37 games during the two seasons in Aston Villa.
Since the 2004 season, he was loaned to League One club Norwich City Football Club and scored 4 goals in 15 league games. After returning to Aston Villa, Peter Crouch was sold to Southampton. In this season, Crouch played 27 league games for the ball and scored 12 goals. His genius's performance made the English media shine, but Southampton was relegated... Crouch can only choose to leave.
Such an experience seems to make people frustrated. Unlike Everton youth training genius like Rooney, Crouch's football career before joining Liverpool has been ups and downs, as if there has never been a way out. Every team dislikes Crouch's clumsy figure. Although his performance is not bad, he lacks With flexibility, it is difficult for him to get favor from the head coach.
However, he still got the call of Benitez!
This is a shocking pleasure for Crouch. Originally, Crouch was a real Red Army fan. The Red Army plot of a child born in Liverpool is engraved in his bones. Although he has nothing to do with Liverpool, Crouch is willing to devote his life to joining Liverpool now.
Crouch loves the team more than those players who have been in Liverpool for several years!
Tseven million pounds! Such a price makes many people question Crouch's ability, not that the price is too low, but too high. Thinking about the clumsy striker of a relegated team, he actually sold for a high price of 7 million pounds, which really makes people doubt his ability, while Benitez regards Crouch as a representative of playing: "There is Crouch in front of him controlling the ball, Our players have time to suppress it, which will help the team reverse the passive situation.
In the summer, Ribenites's evaluation of Crouch was quite pertinent. The Spaniards believed that Crouch's tactical role was far greater than the technical role.
Unfortunately, for a period of time at the beginning of joining Liverpool, Crouch fell into a goal shortage. It was not until December 3 last year that he finally scored in the game with Wigan. From that game, Benitez officially started Crouch. If he didn't score, he would have it. As soon as he scored, he There is no pause. Up to now, in the league played by the Reds, Crouch has only one game without scoring. Such high efficiency makes Benitez have great trust in Crouch.
More importantly, Crouch's Liverpool plot is so deep that he can't stand the current situation that the team seems to be a little passive.
Whenever the other party's black-haired boy behaves, almost the whole audience will stare at him. When he dribbles the ball, more of the whole team exclaims, what is this?
Is this still a game?
Has the game become a one-sided solo performance of Newcastle United?
Crouch can't accept that there are 22 players on the court, and the other 21 players seem to have adapted to this rhythm, because whether Don Jack is in Liverpool or Newcastle United, he will be the protagonist of the whole game. Only Crouch, a newcomer, feels that such a game is very abnormal, and he can't accept Liverpool. It seems to be defeated by one person.
So Crouch began to run frequently to look for opportunities.
Newcastle United's attack this time was ineffective. Although Don Jack ran very fast, Gerrard's defense was very tight. He didn't find any good opportunity. Luke's ball was cut off without passing, and the attack ended in failure. Soon the football was handed over to Gerrard's feet.
When it comes to Gerrard, many people can only think of Gerrard's long-range shot, which is very strong and powerful. At other technical levels, it is difficult to think of Gerrard's strength, but in fact, people who really know football know that Gerrard is better than C. Ronaldo plays a much bigger role on the court, because he is the core of the midfield and an all-round warrior.
To put it an analogy, a football match is a battlefield, Manchester United's superstar C. Ronaldo is also a strong vanguard, while Gerrard will be a calm general. He simply commands his soldiers to do this and that, a few C. Ronaldo came up for nothing, except for an alternative like Don Jack.
The reason why Gerard is an all-round warrior is because of his body. Gerard's strong body can no longer be described. He may not have those really strong men who can hit him, but Gerard is almost rarely injured. Even if he is injured, he is a minor injury. He is very good at protecting himself on the court, which is not a core. It's often important, otherwise, like Owen, he can't play in two games, and such a glass man can't be the core of the team anyway.
This time, Gerrard did the same thing in peace, that is, he brought the ball forward, someone grabbed the ball and passed it to his teammates, and then picked up the teammates to pass the ball again. Such a simple pass made Newcastle United's defense line have no choice. The collective strength is the most powerful. Don Jack had no choice but to defend again. Guard Gerrard, as soon as he left the penalty area, Crouch was liberated.
From the beginning, Crouch rarely took the ball.
In terms of the number of touches, Crouch is definitely the least except for the two goalkeepers. He stands in the front court like a pile. Although he runs, his clumsy body feels distrustworthy. So far, he has only touched the ball three times. This data is very bleak under the gorgeous attack of the two teams.
After passing the two feet, the football finally passed to Crouch's feet. He ran out of the penalty area to meet his teammates.
However, no one expected that Crouch did not pass the ball. Taylor even symbolically ran forward and retreated, but at this time Crouch took the opportunity to start and change direction to Taylor.
The people on the forbidden area line!
"Dangerous!" Everyone is aware of the danger.
"Taylor is too careless. The strength of this Newcastle United defender is very average. He was actually passed by Crouch. Newcastle United's defense..." Huang Jianxiang didn't go on, and everyone understood what he meant.
After passing Taylor, Crouch arrived in the penalty area. Taylor wanted to pursue Crouch again but ran forward with his body stuck. Bruble on the left side came to make up for the defense, but Crouch shot in an instant---
"Dong!"
A sound made many players stop. At the same time, Jiwen hit and held the ball with both hands. Fortunately, Jiwen performed well this time, and the ball was still held out of the crossbar by his hands.
"Wow....."
Liverpool fans were a little disappointed, but they still shouted Crouch's name. This shot was too threatening.
"Taylor, are you an idiot! It's so easy to be passed by that stupid big man!" After Jiwen was afraid to roar, Taylor shrugged his head and didn't say anything. This was indeed his mistake.
"Liverpool's attack is too threatening. This time it is their striker Crouch. The shot is very threatening. From the opening to now, Crouch has had a very threatening shot four touches. This is the most threatening attack since the opening, but Newcastle United's goalkeeper Gwen also performed. It's excellent. So far, he has saved two shots within the frame. It seems that he is in good shape, but Newcastle United still have to be careful. Liverpool's goal is only a matter of time.
