Chapter 400 Quick Attack
Liverpool took the lead in kicking off. Husky, who was standing in the middle circle, passed the ball to Owen, and then ran quickly forward. Owen received the ball and continued to pass back. He also ran forward on Husky's side, but his body was two positions behind Husky.
In this game, Holier did not send fans' idols, Fowler, known as the God of Liverpool, but sent the combination of Husky and Owen. The main reason is that Owen is in such a good state that he definitely can't put it on the bench. Husky hopes to take advantage of Husky's height. The 1.9-meter Husky is like a solid in the front. The fixed fortress can make balls for teammates and attack directly.
Although Inter Milan played the 4321 Christmas tree formation, they did not play conservatively. When Liverpool passed the ball back, Inter Milan's three lines pushed forward at the same time, preparing to burn the war to the middle circle near Liverpool's half.
When the ball passed back to Liverpool's defender line, Inter Milan's striker also pushed to the front of the penalty area. Central defender captain Haipia divided the ball to the side and handed it to left-back Carragher.
There is only one center in front of Inter Milan, and the positions of Sedorf and Rekoba are a little behind. Carragher has no one to rush, so he took the ball forward.
Seedorf quickly followed and intercepted Kalag. The speed of Kalag's front insertion was not fast. He saw that Sedorf was very fast. With the wet and slippery turf after the rain, he pushed the ball to the inside and moved forward. He shook over Seedorf and continued to move forward.
Before Karage took a few steps forward, Sanetti greeted him, and Yugowitsi also approached the defense from the inside line to the side road.
Carragher is an engineering player who can play multiple positions in the backcourt, but assists are not his specialty. Steady defense is what Holler value most, so he is appointed as a left-back to defend Zanetti with excellent assist ability.
Seeing that Sanetti came to meet him, there were players on the inside to assist him. Carragher and steadily passed the ball to the veteran McAllister in the middle, and then began to retreat to catch McAllister instead of inserting in front. For him, the first thing to ensure is the stability of the defense line, not that the attacking players are not in place. It's time to plug it in.
Veteran McLister knows that the right side is not the focus of their attack. Today, they are focusing on the left side where Inter Milan's left-back Simic is located, where their German defender Babel's assist ability is stronger than Carragher. So McLister took a step forward to the right after receiving the ball, then turned to the left and passed the ball to full-back Babel.
On the court, the simplicity and complexity of this pass are not absolutely good or bad. Just like McCollister's pass, if he passes directly to the left, it must be concise. It's a little complicated to take a step forward, but it is easy for the opponent to pass the ball to defend directly, and this step forward, However, the center of gravity of Inter Milan's defense shifted to the right front, and then to the left, leaving a lot of room for Babel to sprint. At this time, complexity is actually better than simplicity.
Babel is different from Carragher. Today, his task is to assist in addition to defense. When the ball passed, he did not wait for the ball in the backcourt, but grabbed the ball forward.
Look at the opponent's midfielder who hasn't been forced to get it in place. Babel stopped the ball in a direction away from his body, and then accelerated the forward assist.
Recoba was shaken by the step that McAllister brought forward, started a little slower, and was thrown behind by Babel, and could no longer catch up.
After crossing the middle circle, Babel saw that Inter Milan's troops were concentrated on the side. He immediately passed the ball to Gerard, continued to insert himself, and decided to complete the task of the bottom pass before the opponent's defensive force arrived.
However, Gerrard did not pass the ball to Babel. He saw Owen suddenly interspersed from the right to the left, and there was a big gap on the left side of Owen and the two Inter Milan central defenders. Gerald knew how fast Owen was. He immediately passed the ball to the blank area and asked Owen to get the ball.
Owen and Gerrard were both born in Liverpool youth training camp. They cooperated very well with each other. When he saw Gerrard taking the ball, he began to accelerate to the blank area. He believed that Gerrard would definitely pass the ball. Even if Gerrard did not pass the ball, it was nothing. At most, he ran for nothing, but once Gerrard passed it. This is a chance to shoot.
Gerrard and Owen are the most dangerous players defined by Jiang Mu before the game. They will receive the attention of the Inter Milan team, not just the defenders. When Gerrard passed the ball, Inter Milan midfielder Pirlo has run over to block the area. He sees that Gerard's ball has been passed out. He couldn't block this area, so he fell to the ground and tried to destroy the ball.
Pirlo's reading and insight into the court are no worse than Gerrard's. His judgment is very accurate. The difference is that his physical condition is not good enough and his speed is a little slower, so he didn't have time to block the area first, but his tackle still hit the ball, which slightly changed the direction and speed of the ball.
Although the change in the direction of the ball is very small, it has a great impact on Owen. Owen's speed is very fast. When he saw Gerald passing the ball, he was already running in the direction of the ball. Pirlo's shovel made Owen's running a big deviation, and he was fast and It was difficult to control his body. When he ran, Simic also arrived. It was impossible for Owen to control the ball. He could only reluctantly move the ball to the sideline, then pulled his arms and raised his knees, and bumped into Simic.
Owen's foot is still very smart. Simic ran over to make up for the defense. Inter Milan has no one on the side. If Babel followed at that time, he could get a chance to cross from the bottom. If Babel didn't keep up, he would give his opponent an out-of-bounds own half-court ball. What threat.
Babel did not give up the assist when Gerrard passed the ball. He still ran forward at his own speed to pick up Gerald and Owen.
Babel's bold attack was rewarded. The ball was pulled back by Babel when he was about to leave the sideline, and then took advantage of Simic's loss of position to quickly pass the ball.
Babel's attack is a regular British style of play, breaking through the side, and then looking for his own center in the bottom pass, instead of the complicated inner cut to cooperate with Owen and Gerald.
However, Inter Milan was very familiar with the study of British impact play. Materazzi has been following Husky. Compared with Husky, nicknamed "Black Panther", Materazzi is only explosive power. The two are about the same height, but Materazzi's brain is better than He. Ski is light, and the person is bad. When he saw Babel go to the bottom, he pushed Babel first, then pushed forward quickly, grabbed the front point, and pushed the ball out of the sideline.
In the first minute of the game, Liverpool got a chance to cross the bottom with an active attack, but Inter Milan's defense also withstood the test, not only did it not give the opponent a chance to shoot, but also did not give Liverpool a corner kick.
After Liverpool's out-of-bounds ball was sent out, they had lost room to attack on the left, and Inter Milan's defensive center of gravity had shifted. Gerrard wisely passed the ball back to McLister and let the veteran organize the attack again.
Liverpool's way of playing in this game is very clear, that is, to guard the backcourt, the midfield passes quickly, and the sides move quickly, waiting for the captain to pass behind the opponent's defender. Holier's tactics are mainly because most of his players are engineers, and Harman is a typical engineers. Now Gerrard does not have much organizational ability. The main thing is the impact, and there is also a strong long-range shooting skill. If there is a little technical content, it is Murphy. Murphy's overall view and small skills are good, but his state is not stable, so Holliere insists on introducing 36-year-old veteran McCulister, because he lacks technical players.
As soon as McAllister received the ball, Vieri, Rekoba and Sidov formed a zigzag shape and surrounded it. At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan did not expect Liverpool's attack to be so urgent and bold. Liverpool easily completed an attack. Now Liverpool still wants to complete the transfer so easily. It's so easy.
McAllister didn't have time to observe. In fact, he didn't need to observe. When he received the ball, he had already figured out the direction of passing the ball, but at first he was ready to pass the ball, but this time he could only pass the high-altitude ball, and in order not to be intercepted by his opponent, the arc he passed was obviously high, so that the ball was in the air. The flight time is longer, and the opponent's defense time must be more sufficient, but at this time, McCollister has no other choice. The return pass must be very stable, but his teammates have reached the front court in the first wave of attack. After the return, the teammates have to run back, which is a waste of both physical strength and time.
The ball is looking for Murphy, but Murphy is very dissatisfied with this pit's pass. He thinks that McAllister can pass a ground ball. Even if it is a high ball, it is better to pass a low and fast ball, rather than such a high ball. When the ball is passed, Inter Milan 11 players can pass it if they want to He surrounded him.
Although Murphy was scolding in his heart, there was no ambiguity under his feet. He quickly ran to the landing point of the ball, trying to jump up and stop the ball with his chest.
But at this time, Sanetti arrived head-on, and Dibiao also jumped from one side and rushed to the landing point of the ball.
Murphy temporarily gave up the idea of stopping the ball in his chest. The opponent's two players rushed over like a tiger. It was impossible for him to stop the ball with his chest. He wanted to hit the ball with his head and hit the back of Sanetti.
However, Murphy thought well, but the reality was very cruel. Dibbiao hit him first. Murphy flew to one side, and Dibbiao also fell down. Neither of them touched the ball, and the ball was grabbed by the later Sanetti.
At this time, most of Liverpool's players were still in the front court, and Murphy fell to the ground again. There were no players in front of Sanetti's nearly 30 meters, which gave Sanetti a wide assault space. Of course, Sanetti would not be polite. He immediately hit the ball hard and hit Liverpool's half.
