Array football

Chapter 40 There is no suspense...!
"Kewell made a cross... Crouch! He hit it! I have to say that Crouch's height advantage is simply too obvious!... He didn't attack the goal, but just rubbed lightly... After the football arrived Go... Bellamy! Bellamy shoots!"

"It's Crouch again! Crouch beats Richards again...Let's look at the second point! Bellamy! It's Bellamy again! Wonderful save! World class save!"

"Crouch! Peter Crouch! The Manchester City defender is a weak baby against Crouch! The header is diverted! . . . The ball is in the penalty area, but Bellamy is in the penalty area! Ah! Gera De! Gerrard shot from long distance!...Wow, it hit the crossbar! The goalkeeper has given it up, but the post disagrees!"

Isaacson, who was just in shock, quickly cleared the ball out of the baseline, and then opened his mouth and roared at his teammates: "Defense! Gentlemen! You missed someone! Don't defend with your eyes!!"

At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, the Swedish national gate has the illusion of Kahn possessing a body and the lion king descending into the world.

Thatcher, who was in charge of marking Kewell, waved at Isaacson, indicating that it was his fault.Thatcher worked very hard. In such an important game, he didn't want to be the team's shortcoming.But the gap in ability, sometimes really cannot be made up with hard work.

If it weren't for Isaacson's magical performance, Manchester City's goal might have fallen.

"Manchester City is too passive!" Even the commentator's words were full of worry: "Manchester City's left back is a loophole! I believe everyone will miss Sun Jihai at this time! Without Sun Jihai's defense on the left, sooner or later he will lose Ball!"

Sun Jihai is the "jack of all trades" in Manchester City's backcourt, capable of playing almost every position in the midfield except the goalkeeper.This season, with the development of the game, Sun Jihai has brought this characteristic to the extreme.

At the beginning of the season, the main central defender Distin left the team. The team introduced Trabelsi, who shined in the World Cup. At that time, Sun Jihai played as a right back.

But then Trabelsi switched to playing right back, and Sun Jihai went to the midfield to make up for Barton's vacancy, serving as a midfielder.After the winter break, the team brought midfielder Mido from Tottenham, and Sun Jihai became the left back.

What's even more amazing is that although he has changed three positions in a row, Sun Jihai's main position has become more and more imprisoned, and he has started more than ten games in a row.

But the good times didn't last long. Sun Jihai got flu the day before the game, which made the already stretched back line even worse.

Thatcher was the team's former left-back, but he was inferior to Sun Jihai in terms of ability.

On the sidelines, Diop looked at the field, but the corners of his eyes kept scanning Duncan, and the corners of his mouth twitched to show his gloating: There is only such a left back in the team, is it stupid?

Hmph, let you pretend again!Diop couldn't see Duncan's expression behind the sunglasses, so he could only slander.

Duncan raised his head slightly and looked at the time on the big screen: 35 minutes in the first half.

There are still 10 minutes, and the four-element array will be available!

The opponent must be zero-blocked!

But if the team continues like this, the left side will lose sooner or later!
Duncan observes the field, Liverpool invests in offensive forces, and Manchester City has carried out key marking: Barton follows Gerrard, Trabelsi defends Mark Gonzalez, Crouch is surrounded by Richards, Thatcher takes care of Kobe Will.

Among them, Barton and Trabelsi's defense was successful, and Richards' defense was a bit difficult.

And Thatcher's side has already been completely blown away by Kewell!

Such a mighty and domineering name like "Thatcher" is simply useless!
With Kewell's infinite crosses on the wing, Crouch's fulcrum role has also been infinitely magnified.Whether it is containment or support, Crouch can handle it with ease.

So to restrict Kewell, in fact, you only need to restrict Crouch.

But Crouch's header is not good, his threat lies in his header ferrying ability.

Although Crouch also made several header attempts, the soft ball did not pose any threat to Isaacson.

Duncan walked to the sideline for the second time.

"Wow, Duncan got up for the second time, what's the use this time?"

"Mills, second spot!" Taking advantage of a dead ball, Duncan called center back Mills to the sidelines and gave him instructions.

"No problem, I promise to complete the task, boss!" Mills promised that as a backup central defender, he can step up when needed!

In the Manchester City team, Duncan has established a high prestige and won the respect of the players.

Kewell naturally saw it, he knew that the threat of Liverpool was mainly on his side.He thought Duncan would make a substitution, or send a midfielder to help defend, but Kewell didn't panic.

But no, Kewell was still facing Thatcher.

Without any suspense, after Kewell broke through, he made a cross.

Without any suspense, Crouch hit the ball.

No suspense, Bellamy...

No, Bellamy was about to take a shot when a thigh stretched out and destroyed the football.

It's Mills!

Off the court, Duncan smiled, there were two people in the Erlong out of the water formation.

Although lacking in height and strength, Mills' frontal defensive ability is not strong.But Mills, who can play as a full-back, moves very fast. As long as he judges the landing point correctly, he can always be the first to grab the second landing point!
Coincidence right?
Liverpool players thought.

But immediately, they were dumbfounded.

Once, twice, three times... Crouch's header was ferried, and Mills appeared in time every time, grabbed the second spot, and then destroyed the ball.

Success rate: 100%!

This ability to judge the location is too perverted, right?
Does he have a computer in his mind that can calculate the landing point in real time?

The little friends of Liverpool were stunned together.

Nima, Gerrard, the core core, was frozen by Barton, and encountered such a frenzied ability to judge the placement of a cross from the wing. The Liverpool players collectively burst into tears: Can they still play happily together?!
Coupled with Manchester City's "turtle tactics" in the first half and goalkeeper Isaacson's performance like a god, the Liverpool players collectively lamented bad luck.

In the first half of the game, Manchester City completely closed their doors and defended themselves, playing dead and not attacking. They made it clear that they "harm others and benefit themselves", which made Liverpool both love and hate.

Benitez also kept pacing on the sidelines, but couldn't think of a way to crack it.Watching his offenses come back in vain again and again, the Spanish coach can't wait to rush into the opponent's penalty area with two feet.

The Liverpool players who are weak in offense are also full of anger, and the smell of gunpowder on the field is getting stronger.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Liverpool won a free kick in the front court. Alonso wanted to take the free kick quickly, but Mido twisted his butt and dawdled in front of the football.

Alonso went up and pushed Mido, who fell to the ground with a scream.

Barton immediately ran over, waving his fists, trying to teach the Spanish youngster a lesson.

Gerald, who knew his character well, hurried up to persuade him to fight.

Players from the two teams gathered more and more, and the scene was chaotic.

In the end, the referee and the linesman separated the crowd and showed the first yellow card of the game to Alonso, who "shot" first.

"This yellow card was given in a timely manner. I believe that the hot-headed Liverpool will definitely be able to calm down."

The yellow card did wake up the Liverpool players, but their mad attack still did not stop.

Seeing that the time is approaching the stoppage time, the stoppage time at work generally does not exceed 2 minutes.

The score on the court at this time is still 0:0!

In the stands of the home team, all kinds of boos have never stopped at all, and middle fingers and abuse can be seen everywhere. Obviously, Liverpool fans despise Manchester City's defensive tactics.

"Man Dog, there is a kind of attack!"

"Are you a turtle?"

"Cowards! A group of cowards who dare not attack!"

……

Amidst the spitting stars, Liverpool fans kept sending all kinds of swear words.Of course, the thousands of Manchester City fans who came with the team were also not to be outdone. They were uniform and chanted to cheer for the team.

Although the number is at an absolute disadvantage, but in terms of momentum, they can compete with the disorganized home team.

There was not much time, and Benitez signaled the players to press on and use the last bit of time to score.

Alonso, who has been guarding the rear, once again overwhelmed the midfielder.

Liverpool's two full-backs also assisted in the frontcourt.

The pressure on Manchester City's restricted area suddenly increased.

Alonso dribbled the ball past Samaras, and suddenly there was an openness in front of him!
No, it's in range!

Button is defending Gerrard, Mido is supporting the audience, and Alonso is empty!

Alonso's long-range shooting ability is also a great offensive weapon for Liverpool!
A defensive player stepped forward to defend, but was easily passed by Alonso.As a Spanish player, Alonso also has good foot skills.

"Oh shit!"

Button cursed in a low voice, dropped Gerrard, and ran over to defend Alonso.

At this moment, Alonso passed the ball, and the target happened to be Gerrard behind Button.

"Gerrard has the ball, he's in the most dangerous position! Swing your leg... and shoot!!"
