Chapter 45 Team!

Samaras was very happy after scoring.

In the last game, Mido scored two goals, which made him doubt his position for a while, but this goal gave Samaras confidence again.

"Andy Cole went into the box, nice heel. Mido shot... oh, he didn't shoot, he chose to pass the ball, he swept the ball. At the back post, Samaras, The goal...scored, wow! The goal is scored! Manchester City equalized the score!" The on-site commentator was also taken aback before reacting.

The tone was as flat as describing what he ate and did yesterday.

But the ball really went in!
It's not that the commentator has no strength to shout, but that the commentator's emotions are firmly tied to the field.Manchester City's goal is really not the kind of passionate, fast-paced, shocking goal.

It was as if he was practicing passing the ball in normal training, and when he passed it to the last person, he took advantage of the trend and swept the ball in.

Flat and flat, no ups and downs!
Samaras' final shot was so slow that Reina wept bitterly.

How careless and off the ball was this shot?
Of course, the Manchester City commentator quickly discovered the mystery: "Oh my God! What a wonderful goal! Starting from Button, Manchester City used 17 consecutive kicks to hit the goal, and finally Samaras completed the goal. This goal can be said to be Manchester City passing the football into the goal."

Benitez on the sidelines looked at the celebrating Manchester City players with some surprise.The goal itself was nothing, what surprised him was the way it was scored!
In this goal, he played the ball many times and moved flexibly, which instantly disrupted Liverpool's defense, and it was finally scored by Samaras.

In Benitez's view, such team goals should not appear in the Premier League, but should appear in La Liga.

Among the Premier League teams, apart from Arsenal, who can play such a smooth teamwork?

Can this group of Manchester City players have personal skills comparable to La Liga players?Benitez immediately scoffed at the idea.

Can a player like Barton, who is full of brains and muscles, play technical football?
Are you kidding me?
Benitez looked up, just in time to find Gerrard looking over: Boss, this goal...

Gerrard nodded, and his mentality stabilized again.

Benitez shook his head at him, and concluded in his heart: It must be a coincidence!

Benitez looked up at the time. It was already 58 minutes into the second half. Thinking of Button's vicious tackle just now, even Benitez couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows at that moment.

That is not only Gerrard's foot, but also the hope of supporting Liverpool!

If Gerrard falls, then the probability of Liverpool reaching the final will definitely be reduced by [-]%.

If it is an ordinary league, Benitez may continue to attack and expand his advantage.

After all, from the perspective of the scene, Liverpool is still at an advantage.

But it is a pity that Liverpool still have a Champions League game to play in three days.

In this game, not only Gerrard, Alonso, Carragher, Finnan and other main players also appeared on the stage. If there is a wild confrontation with Manchester City, it will have a great impact on the physical fitness of the players. consume.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and Liverpool are the ones who wear shoes.

So the better way now is to get the most affordable benefits at the least cost while the team is still ahead.

Benitez made a decision to keep the ball!

So Benitez waved the flag, Sissoko went on, Gerrard went off, and at the same time made arrangements, Bellamy retreated and hit the midfielder.

Although he still wanted to continue to attack, Gerrard obeyed the coach's arrangement, handed over the captain's armband to Carragher, and walked off the court slowly.

"Phew, we're finally going down!" Barton pretended to wipe his sweat, and the voice was not loud enough that Gerald could hear it.

Gerald tilted his head, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger.

But looking at the sign raised by the fourth official, he still walked off the field.

After the high-five, the defensive midfielder Sissoko couldn't wait to run onto the court.He partnered with Alonso to play a double midfielder, and Liverpool's intention to keep this ball is very obvious.

With Mourinho's use of Makelele, a "black and hard" role that protects the entire midfielder-the role of the midfielder has received more and more attention from major teams.

Makelele even created a new era of "defensive midfielder". His legendary performance even added a term "Makelala-Role" (Makelale position) to the football world.

As a result, a large number of strong African brothers who specialize in dirty work have been widely welcomed and have taken up the post of defensive midfielder. Sissoko is one of these "black and hard".

This kind of black and hard is the strangler of technical football.

In the UEFA Champions League this season, Liverpool met Barcelona in the quarter-finals. It was the "nonsense" of Sissoko in the midfield that made Liverpool eliminate Barcelona.Sissoko was even named the best player in the game because of his performance in that game!
So the deployment of Sissoko in this game is also a "good medicine" for the symptoms of Manchester City's "team goal"!
Of course, Sissoko also inherited the "good tradition" of the black brothers' reckless actions and impulsive personalities.

As soon as he came up, he shoveled Midorian with the ball as a greeting gift.If Barton hadn't received a yellow card, then the captain of Manchester City would definitely find his way back.

The game continued, without Gerrard's scheduling and restraint, Liverpool's offensive intensity dropped to a level, and the threat it created was far less than before.

At this time, Manchester City was finally able to free up their hands and let go of the attack!

3:2 is a very delicate score, leading only by one goal.Liverpool want to attack but dare not attack, want to defend but are afraid they will not be able to defend, and they are entangled like constipation.

Soon Liverpool will not be entangled, because Manchester City immediately made a decision for them.

Manchester City's defense pressed forward, Mido retreated to the central defender's position and received the ball.Then Mido turned and dribbled the ball forward, and he soon ran into the defense of Sissoko again.

In terms of defense, Mido is indeed worse, but he is very good at offense!
Without hesitation, Mido passed the ball to the full-back Trabelsi.

After the football was passed to Trabelsi, Button moved closer to him, and Andy Cole also retreated to respond, and it suddenly became the most densely populated place in Manchester City.

Liverpool naturally made deployments for this-they adjusted their defensive focus and concentrated their forces in this side corridor to intercept Manchester City's offense.

After Trabelsi passed the football to Andy Cole, Andy Cole did not stop the ball, but stepped on the football directly to Button with his heel.

Button didn't stop the ball either, he swung his right foot and pushed the ball directly to the center.There, Samaras received the football easily because there was no one marking him.

Benitez's eyes narrowed: it's not a coincidence that he kicked the ball consecutively.

On the bench, Gerrard had a towel to wipe sweat on his shoulders. He didn't even have time to drink the water from the staff. He just stood there and looked at the field.

Gerrard noticed that Button didn't observe the pass before, it was a subconscious behavior, and it was a direct short pass without stopping the ball.Such an exquisite pass is definitely not something that a rough guy like Button can make.

If Barton really has this ability, then he is not a substitute for the England national team.

This is definitely not a normal Barton!

Gerrard couldn't help looking at the Manchester City bench, the head coach who was one year younger than himself.The coach's five-game winning streak and the habit of wearing sunglasses in every game have spread throughout the Premier League.

For Barton to make such an exquisite cooperation, this head coach is definitely not as dependent on "luck" as the media said.

Liverpool's defensive focus is on their left, which is Manchester City's right.After Samaras received the ball in the middle, Liverpool's center was very empty!

The Liverpool players panicked, and the team hurried back to the center to defend.

Samaras protected the ball with his back, and before the Liverpool central defender came up, he suddenly passed the ball behind him to the left!

Andy Cole appeared behind the entire Liverpool defence, and he got the ball!
With no one to interfere, Andy Cole pushed a far corner, the football hit the far post and bounced into the net!
"goooooooooooooooooal! Andy Cole! The 37-year-old veteran scored the third goal for the team! 3:3 Manchester City magically equalized!"

"Wow, beautiful team goal! The whole process is very clear, from Mido who initiates the attack, to Barton who attracts the fire, to Samaras who completes the key pass, and finally Andy Cole completes it Fatal blow! Four-legged pass, a goal, from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and then to the goal, the whole process only took 40 seconds!"

After the goal, Andy Cole ran to Samaras who assisted him, and other Manchester City players also rushed over.

Gerald covered his face in pain.
