Chapter 356 The Birth of the King ([-])
The game is not easy to play, not only Lao Bei thinks this way, but even George and everyone in Liverpool thinks so. After all, Valencia's strength is there, and whether it is covered or not, people with a discerning eye can see it at a glance.

No, the game has just started, and Valencia has gradually gained control of the midfield by relying on its strong midfielder. Under the organization of Aimar, it launched a targeted attack on Liverpool's goal.

Although reminded by Lao Bei, Gerrard, Alonso and others are also working hard in the midfield, but Valencia's midfield strength is too strong. The personal abilities of each midfielder are very good, let alone one more than Liverpool.

In the 7th minute of the first half, Valencia launched a threatening attack from its core Aimar.Albelda cleanly cut off the ball at Alonso's feet and handed the ball to Aimar in the frontcourt. Aimar and Corradi made a one-two, passed Carragher's defense, quickly entered the penalty area, and shot from a small angle.

However, Liverpool was lucky, Dudek's position was very good, although Aimar's shot was very threatening, but Dudek still pushed the bottom line with a single palm.

"O~Aimar's shot, the great Dudek successfully saved the Argentine's shot and saved Liverpool. Liverpool must cheer up and not let the Argentine continue to be arrogant in the penalty area."

Seeing Aimar's shot, the commentator couldn't help being very nervous. Although Aimar's shot was blocked by Dudek and no goal was scored, the commentator could still see that this could only be said to be Liverpool's luck, or Dudek's good luck.If Valencia does this again, I'm afraid Liverpool will concede a goal.

"Cheer up, cheer up!" Dudek got up from the ground, bent over and clapped continuously, reminding his teammates loudly.Aimar's shot just now also made Dudek break out in a cold sweat, but Dudek also knew that it was not his teammates' mistake, and it can only be said that Valencia's strength is too strong.Therefore, in addition to cheering up his teammates, Dudek didn't know what to say.

"Understood! John, the opponent's midfield is very strong. Don't get in too easily. Come on, everyone, and defend against Valencia's attack." As the core of the team's defense, Hyypia naturally assumes the task of commanding the rear.After hearing Dudek's words, Hyypia responded immediately, and at the same time signaled Riise not to advance too easily, and then encouraged his teammates to defend against Valencia's attack.

Under the command of Hyypia and the efforts of the Liverpool team, Valencia's corner kick did not pose any threat to Liverpool's goal.Carragher, who has been doing better and better in the position of central defender, rushed ahead of Corradi and took Valencia's corner kick out of the penalty area, which was won by Smicer.

If we are talking about playing positional warfare, then Valencia, which has five players, is obviously stronger than Liverpool in terms of strength.After all, to play positional warfare, it is necessary to pass and control the ball for a long time, and then patiently look for offensive opportunities.Therefore, for teams that are generally good at playing positional warfare, the team's midfield strength is often very strong.

Although Liverpool is still weaker than Valencia in positional warfare, you must know that Liverpool's playing style, especially the offensive style, has nothing to do with positional warfare at all.Liverpool's offensive style is very simple, that is, the fast attack that they are best at, or from time to time, a few traditional long passes in English football.

No, Smicer, who got the ball, as an old player, naturally did not make the mistake of replacing a young player.Without giving the Valencia players any chance to return to the defense, they directly pass the ball with big feet and pass the ball to the left side of the court. At this time, Kewell has already reached out for the ball on the left side of the court.

"Far away in Australia, the vast land allows you to run freely, run, children from Australia, run, Liverpool's wings, run, Kewell."

When Kewell stopped Smicell's pass, the entire Anfield stadium erupted into a burst of cheers, and the Liverpool fans spontaneously sang a hymn composed for Kewell.I have to say that there is no doubt about the madness and music creation of England fans. Although this madness is not very friendly, this music is just a change of words from popular songs.

Of course, Kewell would not disappoint the Liverpool fans. He stopped Smicer's pass, threw the ball towards Valencia's frontcourt, then spread his legs and started to catch up with the ball, taking the ball towards Valencia's goal.At this time, both George and Irving also began to rush towards Valencia's goal at the moment Kewell took the ball.

After withstood Valencia's first attack, Liverpool also began to use their best way to start a counterattack towards Valencia's goal.

Obviously, for the study of Liverpool, Valencia's head coach Emery has also worked hard, knowing that Liverpool is good at fast offense, so Emery is also fully prepared for this point of Liverpool.

No, at the moment when Valencia took a corner kick, none of Valencia's four defenders rushed to Liverpool's penalty area to compete for a corner kick. On the contrary, they all stood in their own half, guarding against Liverpool's rapid attack.At this time, with Liverpool's rapid offensive launch, Valencia's defense line is also under the command of the defensive core Ayala, retreating quickly, and at the same time guarding against Liverpool's offensive trident.

"Curo, you go up!" Ayala yelled at Torres when Valencia's defense retreated to the arc of the penalty area.Seeing that Kewell hadn't passed the ball yet, and had already entered a distance of 30 meters from the goal, Ayala couldn't tolerate Kewell continuing. Who knows if Kewell will suddenly shoot a long shot. Thinking of this, Ayala reminded Torres loudly and asked Torres to post it.

Ayala has absolute authority and command in Valencia's defense line. After receiving Ayala's order, Torres didn't even think about it, and rushed directly towards Kewell who was dribbling the ball.At this time, the seasoned Ayala slowed down and greeted Marchena, who was on the side, and turned to Kewell on the side without saying a word.

"Just because you want to guard against me!" Seeing Torres posting it, Kewell thought to himself disdainfully.

When the distance between the two sides was still three meters away, Kewell immediately threw the ball towards Torres' back.

I have to say that although Kewell's trick seems simple, the simpler the thing, the more effective it is.Torres also discovered Kewell's plan. Although he understood Kewell's thoughts, it was not an easy task to really guard against Kewell.

No way, Torres immediately changed direction, ready to use his body to block Kewell's way forward. At this time, Torres was already mentally prepared to be slammed by Kewell at high speed.

But Kewell was especially able to stop him so easily. Seeing Torres blocking in front of him, Kewell smiled disdainfully. When the two were about to collide, he suddenly exerted his left foot, stepped aside, and rushed past Torres.

At this time, Torres only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then Kewell broke through from his side in an instant.Seeing this, Torres smiled bitterly. Defenders often seem helpless and helpless in the face of such breakthrough forwards, especially speed forwards.

"Hmph~ that's all. If you want to stop me like this, you think I'm Kewell, what!" After breaking through Torres, Kewell sneered disdainfully. He was staring at Torres' words when he suddenly saw a fat ball two or three meters away from him, and a foot appeared suddenly, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Knowing that he couldn't get the ball at this time, although he was very unwilling, the quality and morality of professional players also made Kewell jump up subconsciously, lest the two collide.

"O~ Kewell's breakthrough is so beautiful. Kewell broke through Torres' defense like a gust of wind. In front of Kewell, Torres' defense was like a clown."

Seeing that Kewell broke through Torres, the commentator couldn't help talking excitedly, but he saw that after Kewell broke through Torres, the ball was immediately snatched by the opponent.

"Ayala~ It's Ayala~ When Valencia was at its most dangerous, Valencia's defenseman, Ayala from far away Argentina, successfully intercepted the ball. Although he was the opponent, I have to admit that Ayala's interception was really beautiful and neat."

"Ayala!" Kewell finally stopped his forward pace, turned around, and wanted to see who broke the ball.When Kewell saw that it was Argentine Ayala who broke the ball, he couldn't help but frowned and said coldly.Because many things can be seen from Ayala's steal this time, at this time, Kewell also had to sigh: "Sure enough, the shadow of the tree of life, Ayala, an old guy over [-] years old, is a big trouble."

It turned out that when Torres rushed up, Ayala had already quietly leaned towards Kewell, ambush behind Torres.When Kewell pushed the ball past Torres, Ayala, who was ambushing behind Torres, rushed out immediately and broke the ball before Kewell.

"Damn!" The moment Ayala steals the ball, both George and Irving, who were still running in front of the Valencia penalty area, stopped at the same time and cursed secretly.After running so hard for so long, Ayala broke the ball like this, all the hard work I just did was in vain. Thinking of this, the two of them didn't have a good impression of Ayala who broke the ball.

After breaking the ball, Ayala immediately handed the ball to Vegas in the frontcourt, but Alonso quickly posted it. In the end, the two scuffled and the ball hit Alonso's feet and rolled out of the sideline.

"Steven, come here!" As Liverpool's attack was resolved by Ayala, Lao Bei couldn't sit still at this time, and when he held the ball out of the touchline, he immediately stood on the sidelines and yelled at Gerrard in the field.

"Coach, do you have any orders?" Hearing Lao Bei's yell, Gerrard immediately ran to Lao Bei's side and asked.Because Gerrard knew that under such circumstances, if the head coach called him over, there must be some arrangements.

"Steven, you go tell them, tell them not to hit the ground ball, the opponent's midfielder is very strong, I believe you have experienced this too. Tell everyone, we hit our long pass and lob it, understand?"

"Understood, coach!" Gerrard nodded to express his understanding when he heard Lao Bei's voice.

"Well, go!" Seeing that Gerald knew what he meant, Old Bei nodded, and ordered Gerald to tell the players how to fight.

Torres looked at his teammates around him and threw the ball to Ayala in the backcourt. Ayala shifted his foot and handed the ball to Aurelio on the left.

"Take your time, don't worry!" After getting the ball, Albelda saw that his teammates had already started rushing towards Liverpool's penalty area, and immediately yelled, signaling his teammates not to worry, and slowly looking for opportunities.

Albelda is still very prestigious in the Valencia team. After being reminded by the captain, the Valencia midfielder immediately slowed down and began to pass the ball continuously in the midfield, looking for opportunities to attack.

After several passes, the ball finally landed at Aimar's feet, and at this time, Carragher had already stuck it up, preventing Aimar from breaking through the distance and space.

Carragher leaned tightly on Aimar, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab Aimar's jersey, preventing Aimar from having the opportunity to break through himself with speed.At this time, Carragher deeply remembered the reminder of the head coach Lao Bei, knowing that Aimar is a typical Argentine offensive midfielder with a stronger desire to attack than to organize passes. To put it bluntly, it is the same as Maradona.

Regardless of the fact that both of them play as an organizing midfielder, their desire to attack is no less than that of any forward. As long as there is a chance, Aimar will definitely take his own breakthrough to complete the shot. Unless necessary, he will generally not pass the ball.

Aimar tried it and found that Carragher's defense was quite satisfactory, and his hand movements were not very obvious, but it also made him unable to shake off Carragher's nasty hand for a while. Thinking of this, Aimar had no choice but to distribute the ball to Vicente on the side.

Although Aimar was very unwilling, he hoped that he could break through Carragher's defense and complete the goal.However, his physical weakness made Aimar suffer a lot when he was stuck with the strong Carragher.Because every time Carragher exerted strength, Aimar felt that he would lose his position as soon as he made a mistake, just like the ball. There was no way, Aimar could only pass the ball to Vicente on the left.

I have to say that South American players, especially those from Argentina and Brazil, seem to be relatively independent.Look at Argentina's Crespo, Aimar, Maradona, Brazil's Ronaldo, Romario, and of course Ronaldinho. They all get the ball. The first consideration is how to break through the opponent's defense and complete the shot. Only pass the ball if it doesn't work.

Although Ronaldinho often passes the ball for assists in Barcelona, ​​but if you really observe carefully, Ronaldinho hopes to break through the opponent to complete the shot.It is precisely because of this that when Brazil came out with a Kaka who was more inclined to European passing style, the Brazilian media called Kaka a great fortune for Brazil. No, Kaka at this time is also the absolute midfielder core of the Brazilian national team.

As for Argentina, although Riquelme's temper is not very good, Riquelme often enters the Argentine national team because Riquelme has outstanding free kick skills and is willing to pass the ball.

No way, a real organizing midfielder is what any team needs. After all, everyone is going to attack, no one is organizing the offense, no one is passing the ball, and it is useless.

Vicente may not have performed very well in the past, but since joining Valencia, he has grown rapidly and immediately became a left midfielder in world football, and of course a left winger.

After getting the ball from Aimar, he looked at Hyypia who was blocking him. When he knew that he could not shoot or pass the ball, Vicente immediately changed his strategy and rushed towards the sideline with the ball, as if he was going to pass directly from the bottom.And Vicente did intend to do so, he rushed straight to the bottom line, took a light bite, evaded Riise's defense, and immediately kicked a pass.

Able to become Valencia's single center forward, Corradi's header ability is unquestionable. Facing Vicente's pass, Corradi opened his hands, pushed Carragher away from him, jumped up high, faced Vicente's pass, and smashed the ball hard to the lower left corner of the goal.

"Ha!" Facing Corradi's header, Dudek roared, and immediately rushed sideways to the left of the goal, his eyes fixed on the ball, and he stretched out his left hand to slap the ball out of the baseline.

"Oh~ beautiful save, Dudek's save is really beautiful this time, it seems that the Polish is in a very good state today." Seeing Dudek's sideways attack by Corradi's header, the commentator was not stingy with all the compliments, praising Dudek for making a wonderful save.And the Liverpool fans in the entire Anfield stadium also stood up in their hearts and gave their warmest applause to Dudek who made a wonderful save.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound, and everyone was taken aback immediately, and looked suspiciously at the place where the sound came from.At this time, the scene presented to everyone was Dudek lying on the side of the goal post, slightly arched, with a pained look on his face.

What happened? At this moment, everyone had the same thought at the same time, and everyone was puzzled. They didn't know what happened to Dudek.

At this time, the big screen on the scene cooperated to explain to everyone.On the big screen, in order to block Corradi's header, Dudek used too much force and slammed into the goal post hard, so this scene appeared at this time.

"Kirkland~ Warm up for me, hurry up!" Seeing this scene, Lao Bei couldn't help being startled, and a bad thought suddenly appeared.From the replay on the big screen, Lao Bei knew that Dudek's injury might be really troublesome this time. Thinking of this, Lao Bei couldn't help yelling at the substitute goalkeeper Kirkland.

"Ugh!" Kirkland couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the head coach's words. Kirkland couldn't be blamed for this. After all, the goalkeepers are all out of position. Unless they are sent off by a red card, generally speaking, it is impossible to replace the goalkeeper.But when he saw Lao Bei's serious and serious expression, he immediately said yes loudly, took off his coat, and started to warm up.

At this time, Liverpool's team doctor rushed towards Dudek, ready to see what happened to Dudek's injury.The referee also blew the whistle very cooperatively, so that the team doctor could take a closer look at Dudek's injury.

"What's the matter? Is Dudek's injury serious?" At this moment, all the Liverpool players on the field rushed to the goal one after another. Seeing that the team doctor was examining Dudek, George asked worriedly.

"Damn it, how could such a thing happen, please don't worry!" Old Bei was standing on the sidelines at this time, and he couldn't help but nervously looked at the team doctor who was examining Dudek, hoping to get good news from the team doctor.

You must know that the position of the goalkeeper in a team is not changed frequently. You must know that in the position of the goalkeeper, generally unless the goalkeeper suffers from any injury, otherwise, the goalkeeper is impossible to change.

But it is a pity that the team doctor disappointed Lao Bei, because Lao Bei saw that the team doctor shook his head and made a gesture of changing players to him, which meant that Dudek's injury was serious and he could not continue this game.

"Substitution!" Although he was very reluctant, the team doctor had already said at this time that Dudek was unable to continue the game because of his serious injury, and Lao Bei had no choice but to signal the fourth official to make a substitution.

At this time, Kirkland also took a deep breath and rushed towards the field after receiving the nod from the fourth official.You must know that Kirkland has been waiting for this day for a long time. You must know that Kirkland usually only plays in some insignificant cup games at most, but this time against a strong team like Valencia, it is the first time for Kirkland to play in the Champions League.

When Kirkland stood in front of the goal, the referee blew the whistle to continue the game. Gerrard caught Riise's throw-in ball, kicked the ball into Valencia's backcourt, and returned the ball to Valencia.Because the moment Dudek was injured just now, it was Lopez who kicked the ball out of the baseline so that Liverpool's team doctor could go on the field to check Dudek's injury.

Since this is the case, then Liverpool will naturally have to behave very professionally and return the ball that originally belonged to Valencia to Valencia again.

Perhaps it was because of Dudek's injury that made all Liverpool players worry and concerned. Everyone wanted to know what happened to Dudek's injury earlier, so they behaved a bit abnormally and were often distracted.

Suo Xing Hypia's mental strength is very concentrated, and Kirkland, who has just been replaced, looks very excited because he wants to prove his strength.Although Valencia supported the Liverpool players' lack of concentration and launched several attacks, with the efforts of the two, Valencia's attacks were resolved again and again.

"What's the matter, isn't Dudek's injury serious?" At this time, the team doctor had already carried Dudek to the Liverpool bench, and Old Bei stood beside the team doctor, asking nervously.

"I'm sorry Raphael, I'm sorry to tell you that Dudek's problem is very serious. I suggest sending Dudek to the hospital at this time for more detailed examination and treatment."

"Okay~ Since the time is like this, then send Dudek to the hospital!" Hearing the team doctor's answer, Old Bei couldn't help feeling cold.Dudek's injuries were so serious that he had to be sent to the hospital.Thinking of this, Lao Bei felt a headache.

But Lao Bei also nodded in agreement directly, after all the team doctor said so, what else can he say.Although I felt very surprised, because Lao Bei didn't expect Dudek's injury to be serious enough to be sent to the hospital, but Lao Bei could only nod and agreed to send Dudek to the hospital.
