football dynasty

Whether Levi will regret his substitution this time, the audience doesn't know, they only know that Ian Wright will soon be slapped in the face for his words.

After the substitution, the Liverpool midfielder's running ability is even stronger.

Vidal's pass is not as sharp as Motta's, but the midfield running ability formed by him and Gerrard is very strong.It is often to participate in the offense at the front of the opponent's penalty area in the first minute, and participate in the defense at the front of your own penalty area in the next minute.

Although Vidal and Gerrard's playing styles are not exactly the same, in fact, these two players are of the same type-B2B players!

The full name of B2B is box-to-box.

Box means restricted area.

To means to, to, towards.

Literally translated, it means that the kicking area is enough to cover the all-round champion from the penalty area of ​​the own side to the penalty area of ​​the opponent.

A box-to-box midfielder is a midfielder who can control and influence the game on both offensive and defensive ends. Such a player needs to have super endurance and continuous explosive power throughout the game, as well as certain ball control, organization, and shooting. , defense and other capabilities.

The box-to-box midfielder is a player who can appear in any position in the entire team. It is the core of organizing and directing the defense, and also the initiator of the team's offense.

Most importantly, physical strength!

It is now 75 minutes into the second half. No matter how fierce Atletico Madrid's attack is and how loose their schedule is compared to Liverpool, they can't hide a problem. The physical strength of their players has declined particularly badly.

Liverpool's midfielder Steven Gerrard seemed to be running like an engine that would never turn off. Vidal, who just played, was more energetic. He was a full-bodied beast. He never stayed in one place for more than three seconds after playing. time.

The most important thing is the cooperation between the two. Although Vidal and Gerrard are of the same type, they will not form conflicts in the national team like Gerrard and Lampard. Two players playing at the same time will cause one plus one effect of less than two.

Among Liverpool's locker room and fans, Gerrard has a high prestige. It can even be said that Levi's speech in the locker room and fans is not as convincing as Gerrard.

And this is why Luo Diao and the club executives forced Gerrard away later.

In this case, Vidal naturally would not have the confidence to challenge Gerrard. When Gerrard attacked, he would honestly stay behind and defend.

Gerrard is not a ball bully player either. As long as Vidal is in a better position than himself, he will pass the ball to Vidal, and then retreat to the back to play the role of defensive midfielder.He will never claim to be the boss in the locker room, and occupy the ball and let Vidal stay in the backcourt to defend.

With the excellent running of the two, Atletico Madrid's players had the illusion that 11 players were playing 12 players.

Slowly Atlético Madrid was a bit overwhelmed.

But their head coach, Enrique Flores, didn't mean to slow down the pace of the game. Like Levi, he stood on the sidelines and stared at the football field with his teeth gritted.

Now both sides are playing very fiercely. The football is almost not overdone in the midfield, and they attack directly when they hit the opponent's penalty area.

It's just that in comparison, Liverpool's players have stronger running ability. When defending, not only Vidal and Gerrard came back, but the two wingers Griezmann and Gareth Bale returned to the defense at all costs.

The reason why Torres didn't return to defense was that on the one hand, Li Wei knew that he was not good at defending, and on the other hand, Liverpool needed someone to contain Atletico Madrid's players in the frontcourt.

After all, if Torres also comes back to defend, Atletico Madrid's central defender can boldly attack forward.And when Torres stands in the middle circle, even if he doesn't run, just standing in place like this is enough to make Atletico Madrid dare not be careless, leaving two defensive players behind him at all times.

…………

In the 809th minute of the game, everyone thought the game was about to enter overtime.

The fourth official also held up an electronic card on the sidelines, showing the minutes of stoppage time.Because the two sides did not have any conflicts in the second half, and no one was injured, the biggest impact on the progress of the game was Liverpool's two goal celebrations. For this reason, the fourth official did not give much stoppage time, only 2 minutes.

There are less than 3 minutes left in the game.

Enrique Flores is also considering whether to use the last substitution.

His assistant is preparing by the side. If it really enters overtime, the players will not have much time to rest.Because after the end of the regular time, there is only a 5-minute rest period. During this short period of time, the head coach has to explain the tactics to the players, the players have to replenish water, and some players have to have a massage, otherwise they may experience cramps during the game. .

It's 90 minutes into the game, and the running distance of Atletico Madrid's players has dropped significantly.It's almost overtime, and they also want to save energy.

In the 901st minute of the game, there was an accident on the court.

Gerrard suddenly fell to the ground while running without the ball. Glenn Johnson, who was holding the ball, saw this and immediately kicked the football out of the sideline.

Team doctor Johann Wolfgang hurried on to the field, and medical staff came up with a stretcher.

The wireless headset Levi bought with a lot of money worked, and Johann Wolfgang was still on the court, so Levi knew the situation.

Gerald's situation was not serious, but serious.

Gerrard has calf cramps, which is not a common occurrence for athletes, but it is not a serious thing, just take a break and do lats.

However, now Liverpool's three substitution places have been used up.

…………

Alan Hansen said worriedly: "I hope Gerrard's problem is not serious, and he doesn't need to leave the field, otherwise Liverpool will fall into a ten-man vs. 11-man dilemma."

On the other side, Ian Wright gloated: "Gerrard has cramps, even if he can continue to stay on the court, how useful will he be without the running ability of Gerrard? It is estimated that he can even run. Can't get up. Li Wei's performance in this game was too bad, he should have defended after the goal, not against Atletico Madrid."

…………

Levi, who was on the sidelines, heard the news of Gerrard's cramps. He could only stare blankly when there was no substitution quota, and finally said helplessly to John Wolfgang through the microphone: "Ask Gerrard Don't take a break."

For the sake of the players' health, ten people against Li Wei also admitted.

Gerald finally stood up tenaciously, jumped on the spot, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the boss, I'm fine!"

Seeing this scene, the fans on the Anfield stood up, moved by Gerrard, and applauded.
