Chapter 412 The Arrival of the New Year

With two goals from Morientes, Liverpool beat Charlton 3-2 away.After three days of rest, Liverpool ushered in the No.20 six-round game against Fulham.

This game, the process is much easier.After all, facing the underdogs, Liverpool played much more easily.

Just 10 minutes into the first half, Zhao Yaning broke through the middle and directly found Morientes with a cross. Morientes jumped high at the front post in the penalty area with a header and the ball flew straight into the far corner. Liverpool played at home to lead 1-0.

"Only 8 minutes into the game, Morientes scored a goal. This is Morientes' third goal since joining Liverpool, but this is the first time the Spaniard has scored at Anfield."[

Martin Taylor was quite surprised that Liverpool were able to use Morientes so quickly.Although Morientes was known as the top three centers in La Liga when he was in Spain, the physical confrontation in La Liga is really not very good in the Premier League. He can play a center in La Liga, but he may not be able to succeed in the Premier League.

But Morientes is playing pretty well now. Except for the game against Manchester United, which was really restricted, these two games are pretty good.Although it is a certainty that a player's ability cannot watch a game, at least his performance shows that he still has a certain strength and is worth looking forward to.

But this kind of happiness didn't last long, and Liverpool made another mistake.Biscayne made a mistake in the pass in the midfield and was successfully intercepted by Clarke. The horse passed the ball to Boamote on the left. The serious miss made him a calm header, the ball flew straight into the net, and the score became a 1-1 tie.

Carragher looked at his mistake with some annoyance, and made an apologetic gesture to his teammates.

The teammates could only accept this apology verbally-what else can they say?Carragher has not rested for a single league game this season. It is normal for him to make a mistake after playing so many games.

Even if it is a mistake, it is so-called, just win it back.

But in the constant attack, Zhao Yaning also found something not quite right.

First, Liverpool got a free kick in the frontcourt. Zhao Yaning drove the ball into the penalty area. Carragher headed the goal, but Van der Sar easily confiscated the ball.Then, Morientes made a pass from the bottom, Zhao Yaning took the ball back in the penalty area, and Biscayne responded with an angry shot from outside the penalty area, but the ball was confiscated by Van der Sar again.In the 42nd minute, Liverpool got a corner kick and Zhao Yaning took the penalty. Finnan responded with a right-footed shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball hit the opposing defender and returned.

Throughout the first half, Van der Sar's defensive arrangement was extremely good.What surprised Zhao Yaning the most was that his positioning skills were already excellent, but he was still repeatedly saved by Van der Sar.

When I watched Serie A before, why didn't I find that Van der Sar's defense is so good?At that time, I always felt that he was a colander.This is not from Zhao Yaning. The Juventus fans at the time complained about his colander and low-level mistakes. Even Buffon had just arrived at Juventus at the time. Fans dubbed 'Van der Buffon'...

But now that Van der Sar has arrived in the Premier League, his performance has stabilized instead.This kind of performance is better than that of some giants.

"He has a lot of experience and special characteristics. It is normal for your free kick to produce effects." In the locker room, Benitez explained to him in detail, "Don't do it by yourself, we Set up a tactic and you can score well."

On this point, Zhao Yaning agrees very much. Although Van der Sar was indeed prone to mistakes when he was at Juventus, his experience is still sufficient after all.Defending free kicks relies more on tactical coordination than personal ability. After all, Van der Sar is a goalkeeper from Ajax, not to mention his height and arm length. With outstanding technology, it can be used as a half-scavenger.Such a goalkeeper, when young, may appear reckless because of his more delicate skills, or even a colander, but relying on the accumulation of experience, when he gets older, he will become more stable and his strength will improve.

At this time, Benitez made gestures on the tactical board, telling him how to use free kick tactics to deal with Van der Sar, and Zhao Yaning soon understood.

In the second half, in the 64th minute, Liverpool got another free kick in the frontcourt. Zhao Yaning took a free kick with his right foot from the left and passed the ball into the penalty area. In the open space, Hyypia headed in front of the goal and hit the goal. The ball hit the net and Liverpool took the lead again 2-1 at home.

Relying on such a ball to take the lead, Zhao Yaning had a lot of new ideas: When he was in Monaco, Deschamps didn’t arrange free kicks very much. That's fine. Therefore, Deschamps didn't do much to direct the set kicks.

But Benitez was able to make deployments so quickly. Obviously, he must have seriously thought about his free kicks before he was able to arrange tactics.This coach is indeed what Morrow said: he rarely praises players, but he pays more attention to players than anyone else.

In the 77th minute, Liverpool ushered in another chance. They played a quick counterattack. Morientes passed the ball to Riise on the left. The running position opened up the space, and Zhao Yaning easily shot the ball into the net after responding in front of the goal. The score on the field became 3-1, and the game has come to an end.

Two consecutive victories have allowed Liverpool to sit firmly in the third place in the league standings, and there are even signs of approaching No.2.At this time, Gerrard is about to come back. [

But at this time, Benitez also had to let Zhao Yaning go back to China to play the first game of the world preliminaries-the date of the game is February [-], plus the time of traveling back and forth, I am afraid that when he comes back, it is right. In the Newcastle game, he will not be able to play either.

But think about it, Liverpool's original task was just to compete for the top three.Now the top four armies have already moved away from No.5 Everton by a lot. No matter how slippery they are, they will not be overtaken by Everton. , anyway, the third and fourth teams have to play in the play-offs, and there is no big difference.

And Zhao Yaning, who has returned to China, is also starting to prepare for the first world preliminaries against Uzbekistan at this time.

After all, Uzbekistan is weaker than China. Before the game, Uzbekistan's head coach publicly stated that he thought he would lose. Although in the locker room, Zhao Yaning warned everyone not to take it lightly. It is indeed not China's opponent.

China is not doing well, and it is also the new champion of the Asian Cup at this time.Although compared to Japan and South Korea, Iran may not be able to win the game. It is also difficult to predict against Saudi Arabia, but against other teams, as long as the team does not lose the chain by itself, the problem is not big.

This group is called a death group, anyway, the Chinese media is used to calling the group that the Chinese team joins a death group, but it is also for Saudi Arabia, China, and South Korea.Uzbekistan is here to contribute points.

If there is anything worth noting about this game, it is the time of this game, which is still very special: the game time is February [-]th, which is the [-]th day of the Chinese New Year.

This is the first time Zhao Yaning has celebrated the Spring Festival in China in recent years.

This game cannot be ruined.For the New Year's Eve, don't disturb the mood of the fans.

The game was just as Zhao Yaning expected, with almost no pressure at all.Not only Zhao Yaning thinks that Uzbekistan is here to play, but even the Chinese team thinks so. What is even more tragic is that even Uzbekistan itself seems to think that he is here to play... Such a group, even the third team They don't even have to think about the play-offs.

No. 20 minutes into the first half, Hao Dapao received a pass from Shao Jiayi and scored a goal for the Chinese team.

In the second half, after Hao Dapao was replaced, Zhao Yaning broke into the penalty area again and scored for the Chinese team.

I thought that this 2-0 victory would be enough, but in the final stage of the game, Uzbekistan still scored a goal after a counterattack.If it weren't for Li Datou's outstanding performance on the back line, he might even be tied by his opponent.

And what is the reason for this problem, Zhao Yaning can naturally see it.Back in the locker room, Zhao Yaning immediately became angry, "Why did you put down the physical training again? When it comes to the last moment, your legs are weak. Are you all idiots!"

"We won anyway, what are you talking about..." Li Yi complained.

"If you play like that, just talk nonsense." Zhao Yaning scolded, "Kick me well, stop cheating and playing tricks! You have won the Asian Cup, and you have also enjoyed the benefits. You have won the Olympic Games, and some people have eaten it." Good thing. How come now, it’s not been half a year, are you all this kind of virtue? Do you remember to eat or fight? Or is it so difficult for you to practice? "

Looking at the locker room, Zhao Yaning still said, "Brother Hao is old and doesn't have the physical strength, so I won't force it anymore. If any of you have Brother Hao's skills, I won't force it. But if you don't, just practice hard for me Hai Bo starts with you, isn’t there a month left for the next competition? If your physical strength doesn’t improve, you don’t want to enter the national team.”

After saying these words, Zhao Yaning also left the national team.Now that he has enough status, no one dares to confront him if he is ruthless in the national team.Now Zhao Yaning is enough to give orders to anyone in the national team.

These guys are really not worrying. They just played a good round this summer, and they started to degenerate again.If this continues, even with Zhao Yaning, the Chinese team is hopeless. Maybe it will be difficult to even enter the World Cup finals.

Zhao Yaning didn’t expect that in the summer of 2006, he was fishing at home.I don't dare to think too much about winning the championship, but it would be a bit regretful if I didn't even lead the team to the World Cup once.

And this time the group stage was actually full of dangers.Not to mention the strength of Saudi Arabia and South Korea, but one thing is enough to make Zhao Yaning scold his mother: the AFC stipulates that every group match will be held at [-] pm local time.

If there is still no decision in the final round, Saudi Arabia will play in the fifth East District, and China and South Korea will play in the East Ninth District.When the China-Korea game started at [-] o'clock, the Saudi side was still at [-] o'clock in the afternoon. This game was over, and the other side didn't start. It was clear that they wanted to assassinate the Chinese team-who said that people can only rely on black whistle to assassinate people. ?When it comes to playing with the system, people are unambiguous. [

However, that also requires you to have that strength.If you want to plot against me in the last round, you have to be careful, don't lift a rock and hit yourself in the foot!

------------------------------------

ps: The schedule of the AFC does have a strange problem that the last round of the group stage is not played at the same time, and the other game will start after one game.And because the Chinese team at that time was always eliminated early, there were not many reports.
