Chapter 231 The Captain’s Battle! Countdown to the final kill! Suarez: Victory waves ahead! [Please subscribe]
While the Chinese in Bethwater slaughtered the Queen's Park Rangers with 6 goals at home, the fifth round of the Premier League also came to an end.
The focus of this round is Manchester United's home match against Chelsea.
Boas coached by the Blues ushered in the first big test.
As a result, Ferguson taught Boas a good lesson at Old Trafford.
Both teams competed in the Europa League on Wednesday.
Although neither side intends to do their best in the Europa League, the team still makes appropriate rotations and adjustments.
Ferguson even arranged a 442 formation at home.
This is a very bold decision.
In front is the double striker combination of Eldernandez and Rooney.
The midfielder is a combination of Ashley Young, De Rossi, Fletcher and Nani.
From the performance of the whole game, Manchester United's midfielder has no technical and tactical advantages except highlighting a fast one.
But it was this fast that highlighted the slowness of Chelsea, who was in power in the veteran, and directly crippled Chelsea in the first half.
With goals from Ashley Young, Nani and Rooney, Manchester United led three goals in the first half.
Although Etoo later scored a goal for Chelsea, Rooney scored another penalty in the 56th minute.
In the end, Manchester United beat Chelsea 4-1 at home.
After playing the Queen's Park Ranger, Yang Cheng watched the live broadcast of the game with the coaching staff.
Then, he specially asked the technical team to cut the game into a highlight and put it in the coaching team meeting after the game and the tactical review meeting for the first team for analysis.
Yang Cheng believes that this game actually reflects a change in Ferguson's ideas to a certain extent. "You see, Manchester United's midfield has almost no advantage."
"Their real good passers didn't play, and Juan Mata, Carrick and Giggs were all hidden." Giggs is now very low-key because of the incident of his sister-in-law's door, which has caused a lot of controversy in the summer.
"Chelsea has the advantage in the midfield, and there are players like Sneijder, Anelka and Etoo in the frontcourt."
"But this is from the scene."
"If we combine the data, Manchester United, which does not have the advantage in the midfield, has a ball possession rate of 56.5%, but it has the advantage."
"But Chelsea created 22 shots, while Manchester United only had 14."
Just judging from the data listed by Yang Cheng alone, it is very contradictory.
The midfield does not have an advantage, but can get a ball possession rate of 13 points more than the opponent.
With the ball possession rate of 13 points, the number of shots is actually 8 less.
Isn't this very contradictory?
In fact, it may not be a contradiction!
Because Boas didn't want the ball possession rate, he wanted to hand over the ball to Manchester United, let Manchester United take the ball, and Chelsea rob it.
After grabbing it, then strike quickly.
So the Blues need to speed up.
Even Drogba did not play in this game.
But the problem lies here.
The Blues' slowness is obvious.
Mickell in the midfield is slower, Lampard, Terry, Ashley Cole and others are all very old.
Ferguson's strategy in this game is indeed very clear, just play fast.
Fight the enemy with speed.
It doesn't matter if I don't have an advantage in everything else, as long as my counterattack is fast enough, it can threaten your goal.
Small shots?
It's okay, I'm very efficient!
Yang Cheng deliberately set aside some time to let all the players and coaches think about the logic here.
"In my impression, Ferguson has always been a person with a very keen sense of tactics."
"If he wants to form a new Manchester United, it must be the most in line with the current tactical trends of the times."
"He chose to change the fast-paced offense and defense, speed up comprehensively, and speed up again!"
"But we do not recommend Manchester United's style of play."
"Because once their fast-paced play cannot be effective, they will have no choice."
"So, we still have to continue to capture the midfield. As long as the midfield continues to maintain its advantages, we can still play fast."
"In fact, we have always been the fastest team in European football."
"Once there is no effect, we will give full play to the advantages of the midfield and reorganize."
What Yang Cheng is talking about is the technical and tactical trend in the next few years.
He needs to build a consensus for everyone, including players and coaches. "But what I want to share with you more today is that you can think about what changes will happen to players under such a big trend?"
Yang Cheng threw this core issue to the players and coaches.
This is a way for him to guide players and assistants to think.
The players and coaches present are not unfamiliar with them, and they are really thinking. "In the past, we often said that classic midfield combinations, such as AC Milan, Pirlo was responsible for organizing and passing the ball, Gattuso was responsible for grabbing the ball; at Liverpool, Xavi Alonso was responsible for organizing and passing the ball, and Mascherano was responsible for grabbing the ball..."
Yang Cheng's words were recognized by everyone.
This is a classic combination recognized by the whole world.
"But now, I can tell you that when mainstream tactics require higher and higher requirements for offense and defense conversion rhythm and efficiency, and faster and faster, everyone, whether in front, midfield or backcourt players, must make themselves more comprehensive."
"Even extremely comprehensive!"
"Everyone's advantage must be based on a comprehensive enough foundation!"
"In the past, your Pirlo's defense was not good, it's okay, I'll give you a Gattuso."
"But what happens in the future?"
"Sorry, even if you are Pirlo, you have to grab it like Gattuso."
"I can't do it? Then change it!"
Why is this happening?
Because when Pirlo and Gattuso are two people, they need to cooperate.
But if it is one person, he can complete the work of two people alone, and his efficiency will be improved.
Perhaps someone will say, isn’t this very ridiculous?
Isn’t football just about collaboration?
Yes, but I asked Pirlo to do Gatuso's work at the same time, so why don't I need Gatuso?
I can replace Gattuso with Kaka, don’t I have two Kakas at the same time?
There are actually many logics like this.
For example, in Barcelona, Busquets is just one person who has to do two people's work.
So, Barcelona's defense relies heavily on pressing and oppressing in the midfield.
Yang Cheng felt that if Busquets arrived in the Premier League, he would not be able to do this position well.
On the contrary, it is more suitable for Matic and Harvey Martinez, who are skilled and physically capable, can attack and defend well.
In this way, can we equip Tony Cross and Modric at the same time in the midfield?
In fact, if you stand in 2024 and look back, you will definitely find this trend in the midfield.
Everyone must believe it.
With the development of modern science and the progress of sports concepts, whether it is the cultivation of players, or the training methods and training concepts, they are constantly making leap progress.
The players trained will definitely be stronger.
Of course, super geniuses like Maradona and Ronaldinho cannot be cultivated.
But for most players, with the support of advanced technology and concepts, their overall strength will develop rapidly.
This is why, in 2024, a large number of players around 20 years old have already performed very well.
Some even mature at the age of 17 and play football extremely reasonably.
Behind it is the improvement of youth training level and training level.
But when you get on the court, fans may find that the players seem to have become mediocre.
It's not.
But because while the players are more comprehensive, the opponent is also becoming more comprehensive.
A more comprehensive defensive player must have more advantages than a more comprehensive offensive player.
But on the football field, the advantages of technology, speed and confrontation are all compared.
It's like throwing a young player who is useless in the professional arena into school, and he is almost as good as Maradona.
It not only requires you to become more comprehensive, but also requires you to enlarge and strengthen your strengths as much as possible.
This presents a new and higher challenge for professional players.
But this is the meaning of professional competition!
Yang Cheng did not analyze Manchester United's problems too deeply.
He just put forward the questions he wanted and guided the players and coaches to think.
Because he feels that the development trend of modern football makes everyone have to learn to think.
It's like Hazard.
A player who plays football with pure talent entirely based on his feelings would shine 10 years ago, just like Ronaldinho.
But this kind of player who plays football based on his feelings often has a problem.
When they face transformation and when their feelings are not working, they suddenly cannot play football, and their condition can fall directly from the clouds to the ground, or even fall over the surface.
This is a very terrible thing.
Of course, Yang Cheng can only be responsible for guidance.
As the saying goes: the master leads the door and practices in person.
How much they can learn and understand is not something that Yang Cheng can control.
...
After playing the fifth round of the Premier League, the third round of the League Cup was ushered in the middle of the week.
Baswater Chinese went north to Leeds and challenged Leeds United away.
Yang Cheng played with all the young players in this game.
Goalkeeper: Begovic;
Defender: Ryan Bertrand, Jose Fonte, Kompany and Kyle Walker;
Midfielders: Pogba, Aaron Ramsey and De Bruyne;
Forwards: Hazard, Harry Kane and Sterling.
Leeds United dispatched its main players. Although the Chinese on the Bayswater are all dealing with them as young players, they not only did not have a disadvantage in the field, but instead continued to play a fast attack after the opening.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Hazard broke through on the left and Harry Kane got a chance to kick in the penalty area.
The England center stopped the ball and shook the defender away, and scored.
1 to 0!
In the 33rd minute, Pogba dribbled and pushed the ball and passed it with a pick-up pass, and Harry Kane headed the ball.
2 to 0!
England center scored twice!
The player performed well in both the youth team and the reserve team and scored a lot of goals.
In the past few years as a Chinese in Bethwater, he has been influenced by Yang Cheng's technical and tactical philosophy and has been influenced and trained under the advanced tactical system, which makes him look ordinary and actually play very smartly.
More importantly, he is very confident!
British players are generally confident in playing in the Premier League, and even overconfident.
For example, like Bertrand, Kyle Walker, or Manchester United teenager Phil Jones, etc.
These players are very confident, but they lack tactical qualities and are not smart enough to play. They always give people the feeling of being a hard bridge and hard horse, very stiff and reckless.
But in the past few years, the youth training of the Chinese in Bayswater has always been at the forefront of the times, and even ahead of the same era.
So, players trained by the Chinese in Bayswater often have strong technical and tactical skills and qualities.
Especially in the past two years, with the first players who have experienced complete youth training, although they cannot stay in Bayswater Chinese, they have also been sought after by many League One and Championship teams.
There are even joining Premier League teams.
Today's Brent Training Center is regarded as a palace-level youth training camp by countless young players and their families.
Now, the youth training echelon of Bayswater Chinese even started from U6.
It's 6 years old.
Basically they are children from the area around Brent.
Each is selected from the best, so the youth team's performance is very impressive.
Good results and excellent resources have led to the influx of players and parents.
Harry Kane is undoubtedly one of the most serious direct descendants of the Chinese youth training in Bethwater!
Before the first half, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and cut in, assisted De Bruyne to break into the penalty area and hit the goal.
3 to 0!
Baswater Chinese finally won three away goals in Leeds United!
This group of young players performed very well.
Even 17-year-old Sterling has repeatedly scored the ball on the court.
The speed is extremely fast and the skills under the feet are delicate and exquisite, which makes Sterling show his unique qualities every time he takes the ball on the court, leaving a deep impression on people.
By the way, in the third round of the League Cup this season, all the strong teams passed the level safely.
Obviously, they all clearly realized that at the moment when the Chinese in Bayswater are so strong, they have to cherish the League Cup even if it is mosquito meat!
…
On the afternoon of September 24, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.
In the 6th round of the Premier League, Bethwater Chinese challenged Liverpool away.
When the game reached the 11th minute, a long mid-range pass from Rakitic passed the heads of two Chinese defenders of Bayswater and landed on the left side of the penalty area arc.
Suarez rushed out quickly from the middle of the two central defenders, stopped the ball before everyone, and walked into the penalty area.
Thiago Silva chased back very quickly and caught up with Suarez in time on the left corner of the small penalty area.
But the Uruguayan striker seemed to be deliberately stopping there and waiting for him.
As soon as Thiago Silva arrived, Suarez did not give him any reaction time, but directly made a move to spike the ball and cut it inward.
At this time, Pepe had also returned to defense, just behind Thiago Silva.
But the two central defenders obviously didn't have time to communicate.
So much so that Thiago Silva did not let go, but was deceived by Suarez.
The Uruguayan striker made a first move to cut inside and almost shook Thiago Silva away.
But the Brazilian central defender is not good at slapping.
When Suarez dunked the ball back with his right foot, Thiago Silva also adjusted immediately and continued to block between the Uruguayan and the goal.
But at this moment, Suarez made an action that everyone unexpectedly had.
His body had a slight move that wanted to spike the ball inward again.
In that moment, Thiago Silva was bewildered.
But in fact, Suarez wafted the ball to the bottom line with his left foot, and then caught up with his left foot and shot directly.
Tiago Silva stood on the left line of the small penalty area, and Courtois was behind him.
Suarez went forward again and his shooting angle was very small.
But this is what the Uruguayans do, and after they go through it, they directly shoot.
Courtois's vision was blocked by Thiago Silva. When he reacted, he directly saved the game, but it was already slow.
The ball happened to drill into the penalty area from the extremely narrow gap between Courtois and the goal post.
1 to 0!
The deafening cheers of Liverpool fans were heard at Anfield Stadium!
All the fans were shouting Suarez's name loudly.
The Uruguayans rushed to the sidelines to celebrate with excitement.
"This goal is so beautiful!"
"Excellent shot from Luis Suarez!"
"Liverpool's first shot in the game, the first threatening counterattack, created the first goal!"
"After the opening, the Chinese in Bethwater kept creating threats and almost broke through Liverpool's goal."
"But after Liverpool withstood the pressure of defense, Liverpool took the lead in a quick counterattack."
"This is football!"
Yang Cheng shook his head when he watched on the sidelines.
The ball really can't blame Thiago Silva.
I can only say that there is really no way to face a player like Suarez.
This Uruguayan has a really strong desire to win, and she is also very physically strong and likes physical confrontation.
Yang Cheng noticed that when he stopped the ball, he deliberately waited for Thiago Silva to come up before making the move.
This is not arrogance, nor is it about deliberately angering the opponent. This is a game strategy that professional players often see.
Practice the moment you are in place, and you will be caught off guard and handed over the center of gravity.
Such fake moves are very troubled by the defensive players.
Tiago Silva has actually done a good job. "It's okay, it's okay, keep cheering!" "It's better to stick to our strategy, come on!" Yang Cheng walked to the sidelines, applauded vigorously, and shouted loudly.
Although it was amid the cheers all over the Anfield Stadium, many players could still hear Yang Cheng's shouts.
Even if they couldn't hear it, they could see Yang Cheng applauding on the sidelines.
This is the greatest encouragement for them!
It is also an incentive!
…
The game starts over.
After the Bethwater Chinese conceded the goal, they were not curbed, but instead played more resolutely on the offensive end.
Yang Cheng's team is never intimidated by the defense center.
Liverpool adopted a 4231 formation in this game, and also had a considerable rotation.
Gerard had an injury before and had two consecutive games as a substitute, sitting on the bench in this game.
Goalkeeper: Buffon;
Defense: Kolarov, Carragher, Scotter and Martin Kelly;
Midfield: Mascherano and Aquilani form a double midfielder, with Balotelli, Rakitic and Kuyt in front;
Forward: Suarez.
Torres also missed the game due to injury.
Judging from the game process, the Reds still focus on defensive counterattacks.
Yang Cheng sent all the main players in this game.
Goalkeeper: Courtois;
Defense: Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Pepe and Piszczek;
Midfield: Matic drags behind, Tony Kroos and Modric are in the center;
Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski and Di Maria.
This is the best starting lineup in the Bayswater Chinese so far.
Yang Cheng was also very clear in his heart that strong dialogue was related to winning the championship in the season, so he had to grab as many points as possible.
But he didn't expect that after a snatch, he would be attacked by Liverpool counterattack.
Suarez's goal made the Bethwater Chinese more passive.
Now it's an arrow on the string and I have to fire it.
The team can only continue to strengthen the offense.
Whether it is the starting tactics before the game or the fact that they are behind now, Yang Cheng still resolutely plays on both sides.
Especially on the left side of the team.
21-year-old right-back Martin Kelly is the direct lineman of Liverpool's youth training.
Mainly because Glenn Johnson suffered a thigh injury and missed these games at the beginning of the season, Martin Kelly took over his position.
But this defender, who is 1.91 meters tall, is still not stable enough.
Gareth Bale had threatening attacks after the opening, and was basically on this side.
Even, even Di Maria occasionally came to support the attack on the left side.
It made a lot of noise.
But after scoring a goal, Liverpool retreated very firmly.
The entire defense line is basically not forward, and the defensive counterattack is also very determined.
The front is left to Balotelli and Suarez to fight alone.
This made the Bayswater Chinese play very hard.
Not only the players on the court have a hard time, but even Yang Cheng on the sidelines also empathizes with it.
No visiting team playing in Anfield will be easy.
But the more this happens, the more you should grit your teeth.
Yang Cheng kept encouraging his players on the sidelines, and also made adjustments.
When seeing Kuyt actively retreating and almost treating himself as a full-back, Yang Cheng encouraged Marcelo to be bolder.
The game was strangled for another 20 minutes in such a stalemate, bayonet-like hand-to-hand battle.
The players on both sides are very expensive.
But Liverpool's defense doesn't leave even a slight gap for the Bayswater Chinese.
Every time I attacked the outside of the penalty area, two defense lines were stacked layer by layer, and they were placed neatly there.
I have to admit that the Italian head coach plays defense, which is really awesome!
After experiencing the baptism of losing to Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals last season, the players of Bethwater Chinese have obviously become much more mature and have played more patiently. They know how they lost last season.
So, when encountering similar situations, especially such strong dialogues, they know how to win.
Tony Cross and Modric in particular.
The two midfielders patiently controlled the rhythm, controlled the ball, and guided the team's offensive direction.
In the 31st minute, Modric cooperated with Pisczek to steal Balotelli's foot ball on the right and passed it to Di Maria.
But the Argentinian was pressed by Kolarov and immediately passed it back to Tony Cross.
The German glanced at the right side, then took a sneak peek at the left side, immediately stopped hesitating, pointed his hand forward, shouted Marcelo, and immediately sent a diagonal pass.
The ball was divided on the left side of the frontcourt.
Marcelo quickly stepped forward and rushed to Liverpool's 30-meter area to catch the ball.
At this moment, Gareth Bale immediately followed the penalty area line and ran horizontally from the outside to the top of the arc.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Lewandowski was originally in the top area of the arc, and at this time he quickly inserted into the left side of the penalty area and formed a reverse running position with Gareth Bale.
Marcelo was like Suarez just now, holding the ball and waiting there.
The tall and powerful Martin Kelly rushed over and before he could gain a foothold, Marcelo moved.
A fake move tricked Martin Kelly from the center of gravity. Marcelo dribbled the ball into the penalty area and sent a diagonal pass, passing the ball to the left side of the penalty area.
After Lewandowski pulled over, he stopped in the direction of the goal and then passed the ball back to the left side of the arc top area.
Garrez Bale stood here to catch the ball.
There are no defensive players around.
The two of them seemed to have exchanged offensive positions, but invisibly, they pushed the entire offensive line to the outside of Liverpool's penalty area.
The gap with no defense may be only 1 second, and at most 2 seconds.
But that's enough.
Garrez Bale immediately started and kicked the ball back to Lewandowski.
After passing the ball, the Welsh avoided Mascherano and rushed forward quickly.
After Lewandowski just passed the ball, he pulled a position to the side and stuck Scotter with his body.
When the ball came, the Poles kept stopping and knocking back.
The football passed back to Gareth Bale's feet.
But at this time, the Welsh had already rushed into the penalty area along a straight line from the left side of the arc.
Faced with the football passing by, Gareth Bale stood firm with his right foot, bent his bow and arrow on his left foot, and directly pulled out an angry shot.
The sound of the football popping in the air can be heard throughout the Anfield Stadium.
The ball flew out from Gareth Bale at extremely fast speed, and after passing an arc, it drilled into the upper left corner of the goal.
When goalkeeper Buffon reacted and rushed out from the side, it was too late to stop it.
The whole goal process is complicated, but in fact, the players pass and cut back and forth on the court, constantly running and pulling, and chiseling a gap from Liverpool's iron walls.
Garreth Bale seized the gap and hit the ball directly into a blind spot!
"1-1!!"
"Goal from Gareth Bale!!"
"A very wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt offense!"
"Baswater Chinese's attack was very beautiful!"
"They made it difficult for Liverpool's defensive players to follow suit through this continuous pass and cut, especially the interspersed running between the players, and it is easy for the defense to have loopholes."
"In the end, it was Gareth Bale who made the final decision!"
"1-1!"
"In the end, it was Gareth Bale who made the final decision!"
"1-1!"
"This goal is very important."
"In the 31st minute of the first half, the Beswater Chinese successfully equalized the score."
...
...
The first half was finally shaken hands with a 1-1 hand.
At the break, Yang Cheng named and praised several players, especially Lewandowski and Gareth Bale.
This goal in the first half was crucial.
But we have to continue working hard in the second half.
However, both sides are fighting very hard and even giving each other strength.
The movement is not small, but there is no intention to maliciously hurt people.
Modric was fighting for 55 goals with Mascherano, and he collided hard, shoulder to shoulder, and both of them fell to the ground.
As a result, Mascherano quickly stood up again, but Modric was lying down and was carried off by a stretcher.
This is the 49th minute of the second half.
Yang Cheng had to make a substitution as soon as possible. Aaron Ramsey replaced Modric, and the captain's armband was worn on Pepe.
The Portuguese central defender walked back while wearing the team logo on his arm.
He turned around from time to time and looked at the familiar figure in front of the coach's seat on the sidelines.
The captains of the wealthy teams have certain rules.
For example, Real Madrid's captain is always the oldest in the team.
The captain of Barcelona is often chosen in the locker room.
If you follow the qualifications, Modric came in 2003 after Yang Cheng coached the team, and he is the oldest.
After going down is Piszczek.
Yes, Poles are also very experienced.
And Jose Wonte, who also joined in 2004 and has always been the team's deputy captain.
Pepe joined the team relatively late. He transferred from Porto in 2006.
Even later than Gareth Bell, Walcott, Marcelo and others.
But Yang Cheng ordered Pepe.
Why me?
When Pepe handed this question to Yang Cheng, the answer given by Yang Cheng touched him. "Because we need a role model like you, who is self-disciplined, hardworking, hardworking, full of love for football and hungry for victory!"
When we first came to London, Pepe actually didn't like it here.
It rains often here, and you may not see the sun for a long time, which always gives people a very gloomy feeling.
Pepe and his family have a bad feeling about London.
At that time, the Chinese in Bayswater had just made their mark in the Premier League.
Pepe's idea is very simple. Come here to perform better and strive to play in La Liga or Serie A.
The climate in Spain and Italy made him more happy, and his family also liked it there.
But he himself did not expect that he had been in London for 5 years.
During these five years, he met his current wife and gave birth to a daughter. He has a happy and happy family.
They also owned their own house in London and began to look forward to their future life.
This is something Pepe never thought of when he joined the Bethwater Chinese 5 years ago.
This made him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to break this comfort and comfort.
So, he competes with everyone in training and competitions.
Because he has to work hard to keep up with the pace of progress of the Chinese in Bayswater.
Now, he is a well-known top central defender in European football.
At the age of 28, it's not too young.
But he is still the same as before, fighting for every ball, never fearing any opponent.
He has never been the most eye-catching player in the locker room.
But on the court, especially in defense, he has always been the first.
The comfortable environment did not destroy his fighting spirit, but made his irritable heart gradually mature when he was young.
It's like at this moment, when he took over the captain's armband from Modric on the stretcher, he felt like he had taken over a heavy task.
When he put on the captain's armband and returned to his own defense line, Pepe looked around his teammates left and right and front, and the Portuguese central defender clapped his hands with both hands.
"Brothers, we are going to win this game!"
"Come on! Come on! Come on!!"
The players of the Bayswater Chinese applauded in unison.
…
The game continues.
The players on both sides worked very hard.
The Chinese are constantly strengthening their offensive.
But both sides of the attack were frozen by Liverpool.
Mancini's defense was organized quite closely and did not even leave much opportunity for the Bayswater Chinese.
Anfield fans were also cheering and cheering the players on the court.
Even, in order to boost the morale of the players, Mancini decisively substituted the players in the 72nd minute when he saw the Bayswater Chinese gradually overwhelming Liverpool.
Gerald replaced Aquilani.
Rakiti retreated to the back midfielder, and Gerald became the front midfielder.
The captain's appearance greatly encouraged Liverpool's morale.
The most obvious change is that the Chinese who were obviously suppressed by the Bayswater just now was unable to rebound, and even several times he was about to be scored.
Liverpool suddenly resurrected.
This is what the captain does!
Especially in teams like Liverpool, Gerald has such influence.
Ten years captain, soul core!
After Gerald comes on the court, he just needs to encourage his teammates around him and they are willing to continue to fight desperately.
But on the Chinese side of Bethwater, Pepe, who wore the captain's armband, was also unambiguous.
He was also constantly encouraging his teammates around him.
Every time he gets the ball, he will signal his teammates around to press on.
Goal!
We want to score a goal!
"We can see in today's game that the captains of both teams performed very well."
"Modric in the first half and Pepe in the second half both helped to drive the teammates around him well."
"Gerard's appearance even more boosted the morale of Liverpool."
"In this kind of game, until now, morale is more important than any skill and tactic."
Yang Cheng quickly made a substitution.
In the 75th minute, Giroud replaced Matic.
At this time, Yang Cheng wanted to use Giroud to suppress the opponent's defender, let Lewandowski free up his hands, do his best to attack, and strive to create goals.
There is another very obvious point in this game, that is, Liverpool rarely fouls outside its own penalty area.
So, whether it is a corner kick or a free kick, the Bayswater Chinese actually have few opportunities and fail to pose a threat.
The stalemate between the two teams is a very painful torment for all teams.
When the time entered 80 minutes, both teams were obviously a little anxious.
However, both sides consumed very much physical energy, which made it difficult for each other to achieve results.
The scene is still stalemate.
Time passes by bit by bit.
Yang Cheng used his last substitution in the 82nd minute, and Hazard replaced Di Maria.
But Liverpool also made a substitution immediately.
Lucas Reva replaces Kuyt.
Good guy, Mancini directly adopted the 4312 formation, allowing Balotelli to hit the front line and partner with Suarez.
This is to stick to the defensive counterattack to the end!
Faced with such a strong defense, the Chinese in Beswater kept pulling and moving, and Hazard, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale and others were trying to break through with the ball.
But the results are not very good.
The cross from the side did not work.
Liverpool players are taller and stronger than the Bethwater Chinese!
Transfer and penetration?
Liverpool has now laid the penalty area into a solid wall.
Gerard said he was playing at the No. 10 position, but when defending, he retreated deeper than anyone else and fought harder than anyone else.
How could this look like a guy who just recovered from injury?
But it has to be said that his approach has also led Liverpool players.
It seems that the time is getting less and less.
Especially when the 4-minute stoppage time sign was raised on the sidelines, everyone felt relieved and regretful, but after thinking more deeply, it seemed that the draw was reasonable.
Although Liverpool played very passively.
But the defensive counterattack can freeze the Chinese in Bayswater, isn’t it also a thing to be proud of?
"There is not much time left now, and both sides are still 1-1."
"Both teams have used up the substitution quota, and now the game can only be handed over to the players on the court."
"We see that many fans in the stands are no longer able to sit still."
"Although it is Liverpool's home court, being able to draw the Beswater Chinese 1-1 at home is also a very good result for many Liverpool fans."
"But we see that in front of the coaching seat of the Beswater Chinese, Yang Cheng was still signaling the team to press forward to attack."
"Tony Cross still stabilized the pass and transfer as always."
"Obviously, they are not willing to accept the draw!"
"Indeed, with the performance of the Beswater Chinese, the draw is really bad for them."
"But this is Anfield!"
"
"92 minutes!"
"The last two minutes left in the game."
"We saw that the Bethwater Chinese, who started the five consecutive victories this season and did not lose one goal, lost the first league goal at Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, and is about to usher in the first draw of the season."
"These two teams contributed a game to us. Although they didn't score many goals, the game was very fierce and a very exciting showdown."
"One and a half minutes left."
"There are 1 and a half minutes left."
...
As time the time jumped to 92 minutes and 38 seconds, Aaron Ramsey was a little anxious.
The young Welsh midfielder wants to help the team make a contribution.
But the route to pass cannot be found.
He gave the ball horizontally with some venting.
He thought Tony Cross would be there.
But he didn't notice that Gerald, who had been lying in ambush nearby, suddenly rushed forward and intercepted the ball before Tony Cross.
When Aaron Ramsey was about to pass the ball, Tony Cross realized something was wrong and shouted, but it didn't have time.
At this moment, when he saw Gerald intercepting the situation in the middle, his first reaction was to commit a foul.
The Germans put it on as fast as possible and wanted to reach out to Rajerard.
Because there are two Liverpool players ahead.
Baswater Chinese only have two central defenders.
The others rushed up.
But Gerald reacted faster and took the lead and reached out to push Tony Cross's hand away.
Aron Ramsey fell into an ice cellar and ran back as soon as possible.
He swore that he had never run so fast in his life.
But he still couldn't catch up with that damn Gerald.
Under Tony Cross's interference, Gerald immediately gave a pass and made a direct pass to find Suarez.
Time seemed to be frozen in this moment.
Suarez has observed it in advance.
Balotelli, not far away, is ready to start.
Tiago Silva is already preparing to retreat.
As long as he catches the ball and passes it over, Balotelli can pose a threat.
Break through the goal of Bethwater Chinese and scored this precious 3 points!
Victory waves in front!
But just before Suarez was about to catch the ball, a mountain of pressure suddenly came from beside him.
It felt like the whole mountain had collapsed.
Pepe suddenly came out from the diagonal stab. Before he received the ball, he first gave him a physical confrontation and forced him away from the position.
This damn Brazilian is really strong!
Suarez cried in his heart: I really can't rob him!
After Pepe squeezed away Suarez, he rushed forward and intercepted the ball at his feet.
After intercepting the ball, the Portuguese central defender did not stop, but kicked the ball forward with one kick.
At this moment, Pepe was possessed by Lucio's soul, dribbling the ball and rushing forward quickly through the 30-meter area of the side, passing by Gerald, and quickly rushing across the center line.
The first reaction of the surrounding Liverpool players is to retreat and continue to tighten the defensive formation.
Baswater Chinese offensive players quickly dispersed and prepared to launch an attack.
This is likely to be the last attack!
But Pepe continued to drive the ball forward.
Because he found that no one from Liverpool came up to intercept him.
So, he continued to lead.
Take it all the time.
When he dribbled the ball into Liverpool's 30-meter area, the Reds midfielder who had reacted realized the danger and quickly stepped forward to grab the block.
But at this time, Pepe had already seen a pass line and sent a straight pass against the ground.
In the past few years, he has played for the Chinese in Bethwater. Pepe has improved his passing ability very significantly.
Don't forget that he is Brazilian.
As a Brazilian, underfoot skills are a must.
This pass happened to penetrate Liverpool's midfielder, and on the right side of the penalty area, he wanted to pass to Giroud, who was between the two central defenders.
If the Frenchman stops the ball and takes the opportunity and directly enters the penalty area, the situation will be very dangerous.
So, almost at the same time, goalkeeper Buffon also chose to attack.
Because Giroud only needs to catch the ball and break into the penalty area, he will be a one-on-one shot.
At this critical moment, Carragher directly fell to the ground and tackled the ball on the penalty area line and intercepted it.
But before everyone could recover, the ball Karag scored fell to Lewandowski's feet outside the arc top area.
Liverpool's entire defensive formation just now was disrupted by Pepe, and there was no defensive player beside Lewandowski at this time.
After the Polish center stopped the ball, he took a look in front and shot directly.
The ball was extremely fast, sticking to the turf, swept across from the left side of the penalty spot and drilled into the lower left corner of the Liverpool goal.
Buffon, who attacked near the small penalty area, rushed to the right side of the penalty area.
Although the Italian goalkeeper had tried his best to save the ball, he could not touch the ball at all.
No matter how many Buffon has three heads and six arms, there is no way.
Unless, he is a rubber man whose arms can stretch freely.
The football went straight into the bottom of Liverpool's goal net.
The sudden change left everyone stunned.
Even the Liverpool fans in the stands who could not sit still and wanted to celebrate were shocked to the point of being beyond words.
Countdown to the final kill!
I originally thought it was a draw, but I didn't expect Liverpool to suddenly intercept the ball in the midfield and initiate a counterattack.
But unexpectedly, halfway through the counterattack, the ball was stolen.
Pepe actually drove the ball and ran dozens of meters.
Finally, Lewandowski ended the attack with such a long shot.
But at the same time, the game ended.
The score on the scoreboard jumped ruthlessly to 1-2.
Liverpool fans and players stood there in a daze.
They can't accept it!
