ball at foot

"Hello everyone, this is Sky TV. This game is Liverpool vs. West Bromwich Albion, and I, Andy Gray, and Martin Taylor will comment for you."

Soon, in the fifth round of the Premier League, in Liverpool's game against West Bromwich Albion, Zhao Yaning played.

Liverpool put out a 451 formation: goalkeeper Dudek, right back Finnan, center backs Carragher and Hyypia, left back Riise, double midfielders Gerrard and Alonso, frontcourt Zhao Yaning In the center, Kewell is on the left, Luis Garcia is on the right, and Baros is in front of him.

This game was a home game. As soon as he entered the stadium, Zhao Yaning raised his head and saw the famous sign.

This is Anfield - when Shankly wrote this sentence, Liverpool was still the strongest team in England and even in Europe. This sign reminds people to be careful.But now, after Liverpool has been in decline for a long time, Zhao Yaning feels even more that such a brand is like a jng reminder, jng reminds Liverpool players, don't forget the past glory, and don't shame Liverpool's name. [

Tradition is a very powerful thing. It not only puts pressure on the enemy, but also on one's own side.At least Zhao Yaning faced this brand, and after remembering the brilliance Liverpool had had, he didn't feel that his life here would be easy.

"Liverpool's pressure in this game is not small. They won, lost and tied in the first three rounds, and ranked No. 12 in the league with four points. And this game is facing the newly promoted West Bromwich Albion. It's a game that must be scored, and if they can't win this game, they will really be over." Andy Gray introduced the situation of Liverpool.There is nothing wrong with what he said. Liverpool now has one less game and is ranked No.12 in the league. It is indeed a poor result.

But fortunately, the timing of this game is not bad.West Bromwich Albion had three draws and one loss in the first four rounds. Their strength is not strong, and as newly promoted, their lineup is not neat. Not too strong.In contrast, Liverpool has ushered in a lot of good news: Kewell, who was absent in the previous rounds, returned to the team from injury, and Zhao Yaning, who played for the national team, also returned to the team. Great confidence to get three points at home.

What really surprised Zhao Yaning was that when he stepped on the lawn, the fans around him cheered overwhelmingly, which made him a little flattered.He has been absent for a long time and delayed the team's game for the national team game. He originally thought that the fans would be very dissatisfied, but who knew that they would still give him such warm applause.

"Don't be surprised, it's normal." After seeing his attitude, Gerrard smiled and patted him for fear, "Kopte will never be dissatisfied with any Liverpool player who plays on the field. They are the best Fans, as long as you work hard for Liverpool, no matter what you do, they will give you the warmest applause."

This made Zhao Yaning look up at the viewing platform: Here, there are fans wearing red clothes everywhere, holding signs and signs, and constantly cheering for Liverpool. This makes Zhao Yaning even have an illusion: Could this be Manchester United?It's just a match against a newly promoted horse, so what?The fans had never been this crazy in France.Moreover, if Monaco played against a newly promoted horse, it is estimated that half of the people in the stands would be about the same. Last season, Monaco won the triple crown, and the average attendance rate was less than 80%, but this time Liverpool played against the newly promoted horse. The seats are almost full.

"The fans are really enthusiastic..." Zhao Yaning couldn't help but opened his mouth.

"What is this? When you play against Manchester United next time, look at the reaction of the fans. They can sing from beginning to end, non-stop for 90 minutes." Gerrard laughed, "England Its fans are the most enthusiastic in the world, and you will know it after a long time."

Zhao Yaning didn't speak. Although he felt uncomfortable with such fans, it wasn't that he didn't like it.To play for such fans, you must play well.

"In this game, the glass man Kewell came back again." Although it was the first time he came back this season, Martin Taylor still felt that he had seen such a scene many times. Very neat, this lineup should be their main lineup."

"Yes, purely in terms of strength, this lineup is not too bad. It should be qualified to compete for the top four in the league and the knockout round of the Champions League." Andy Gray said, "This game, including this season's Liverpool's biggest One of the highlights is Zhao Yaning—the Champions League, the League Championship, the French Cup, the Asian Cup, the Olympic Championship, and five championships. I hope he will be sore without raising the cup. He is also one of the strong contenders for the Ballon d’Or. Let's see how he performs."

The game started quickly, the opponent was only a newly promoted polo team, and Liverpool quickly took advantage of the field.After all, with the defense of Gerrard and Alonso, it is difficult for West Bromwich Albion to pass halftime.

But on the offensive end, Liverpool has a lot of problems.Several people in the frontcourt, Kewell has just recovered from injury, Zhao Yaning has just returned, and Luis Garcia is also new. This is the first time for the three to play together. open the game.

Zhao Yaning is very clear about this. After trying to cooperate a few times, he gave up the idea of ​​ground cooperation: the three of them are a bit sticky to the ball, and it is too difficult to kick out the ground cooperation.In the 8th minute, he made a long pass and sent the ball to Baros in the penalty area.

A very accurate pass, but unfortunately, Barosh missed it.

However, this ball still earned cheers from the fans.This also made Zhao Yaning play harder.Soon, in No. 13 minutes, he once again passed the through pass and gave the ball to Baros.

After taking the ball, Barosna smashed the ball, dodged, then smashed the ball again, took a step, and then shot the goal and missed the ball...

Why are you so sticky... Zhao Yaning glanced at Barosh with some gloom.Barosh looked at him with a smile, indicating that he was also very sorry.

Well, each has its own style of play. [

Zhao Yaning didn't want to blame his teammates too much, so he continued to kick.

"This is Zhao Yaning's first Premier League game." When Zhao Yaning was kicking the ball, Martin Taylor also had a preliminary impression of him, "However, I have seen some potential for success. Have you seen it? Andy, his dribble is very easy, very few people can stop him. This kind of outstanding technique is really very rare in the Premier League."

While speaking, Zhao Yaning changed direction easily again, leaving the defensive players behind.The faster pace of the Premier League has its advantages and disadvantages: the disadvantage is naturally that people who are not physically fit enough to adapt to high confrontation games, or people whose skills are not top-notch, their skills are deformed in high-paced games, and their skills are rough.But the advantage is that the defensive actions of defensive players will also have corresponding technical deformations due to rhythm problems. If the skills are good enough, it is very easy to pass them.

"He is really skilled in passing people, but I don't know who is better than Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo." Andy Gray replied.In fact, he already has some answers. At least, Xiao Luo has never been so relaxed and freehand, and he is extraordinary without deliberately exaggerating. He is not on the same level as the two of them.

But how strong he is, Andy Gray still dare not make a conclusion.

At this time, Zhao Yaning was also thinking about how to play football.After passing the ball to Barosh twice, he also felt that some cooperation was not smooth.That being the case, it would be better not to experiment like this.

When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning rushed directly from the wing.When he reached the edge of the penalty area, he smashed the ball directly into the penalty area from the side. With one step, he passed the interception of the opponent's defender and rushed directly into the penalty area.But looking up at Baros, Zhao Yaning was a little discouraged. His running position was obviously not as good as that of Morientes.

Instead, it was the midfielder. At this time, Gerrard had already rushed up.

Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to Gerrard, Gerrard took a step after receiving the ball, then suddenly raised his foot at the front of the penalty area, and slammed the goal!

The extremely fast ball surprised Zhao Yaning in the penalty area, and when he came back to his senses, everything around him was already ringing, and Gerrard also rushed into the penalty area at this time, hugging Zhao Yaning.

Did you score a goal?Zhao Yaning looked at the goal and saw the disappointed goalkeeper, Zhao Yaning couldn’t help but say, “So much strength…”

This is the first time he has seen such a distant she.

"Gerrard's long-range goal! When Liverpool needed to score the most, Gerrard still stood up. Zhao Yaning's assist, Gerrard's goal, beautiful long-range!!!!"

This goal boosted Liverpool's morale, and the surrounding fans also began to sing.Among the noisy voices, Zhao Yaning couldn't hear it very clearly, but he still knew what this song was, Liverpool's team song, Never Walk Alone, of course he knew it.

Such support from the fans made him slightly excited.

As the game progressed, Zhao Yaning gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, and when he stepped in again, Zhao Yaning swayed into the penalty area with his foot again. He made a trip to the right and wiped it towards the ribs. Then, he stopped the ball with one foot and made a cross with his foot.And this time, several defenders were also attracted, but this time, Zhao Yaning didn't shoot the goal directly, but lifted his foot and passed the ball, and then knocked the ball with his heel, knocking the ball behind him.

Fennan who received the ball was facing a huge space, he raised his left foot, and suddenly shot the goal!

"gooool!!!!!! Finnan's goal!!!!!! Finnan's first goal since joining Liverpool!!!!!! No. 308 minutes, Liverpool lead by two goals!!!"

ps: This is Finnan's only goal in five years at Liverpool, and also the last goal of his career...
