Chapter 336

Anfield, this is Liverpool's home stadium, and there are too many stories in this home stadium. As long as you know the Premier League, you can definitely tell about Anfield.

But for Li Yi and Cagliari, this is just the opponent's home court, and there is actually not much difference between Anfield and San Siro in the previous game.

"We've already taken a big lead in the league, and we've reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia. Now, we're going to start the most difficult journey, defeat Liverpool, and advance to the knockout round." In the visiting team's locker room, Li Yi said to the players who had changed their clothes.

"Is Liverpool strong? No~~~ They are not strong. Although they are called giants, in fact Liverpool relies on their heritage and the glory they have achieved. What achievements have Liverpool achieved in recent years? They have been under pressure by Arsenal and Manchester United."

"So~~~ Guys, don't be afraid of Liverpool, because we are stronger than them, as long as we play our own rhythm, the victory will only belong to us."

"This is the first time the two teams have played against each other" While Cagliari and Liverpool were making final preparations, the outside was already buzzing.

In the stadium, the fans of the two sides have already started to collide. In front of the TV, the fans are listening to the commentators' nonsense, bringing the two unconnected teams together.

However, all of this began to change after the appearance of players from both sides. With the appearance of players from both sides, the game officially kicked off.

The Cagliari captain guessed again, but unlike in the league, Conte chose to attack from the back, which means that Cagliari gave up the first wave of the ball.

To be honest, if there is a choice, in fact, Liverpool does not want this first wave of possession. Although both sides have studied each other very deeply, it is the first time that the two teams have played against each other.

After the trial, Liverpool did not rush to attack after the start of the game. The ball slowly moved towards Cagliari's half under the control of Smicer.

Li Yi said that Cagliari had the upper hand, but he never underestimated Liverpool. Gerrard and Alonso were both top midfielders. Although Alonso missed the game due to injury, it was no surprise that Alonso was not seen in the two rounds of exchanges. During this winter break, a traditional Chinese festival, Alonso was injured in the match between Liverpool and Chelsea, so the Czech midfielder Smicer was the first player in this game.

It is said that Smicer is a player of the same era as Poborski, a member of the golden generation of the Czech Republic, and his skills at his feet are very good.

On both sides of Liverpool's midfield are Kewell and Nunes, plus the German midfielder Hamann, these five people form Liverpool's midfield for this game.

In the back line, Hypia and Carragher are very good central defenders. On both sides are Finnan and Riise, and the goalkeeper is Dudek. Reina is still in Villarreal this season.

On the front line, Benitez chose the Czech striker Baros for this game, and the French striker Cisse returned from injury soon, so he sat on the bench for this game.

Seeing Cisse, Li Yi couldn't help but think of that famous friendly match, because of that match, the poor striker missed the 06 World Cup.

As for Cagliari, the defense line is Hierro and Barzagli's central defender combination. If Liverpool played Cisse, then Li Yi would definitely not choose Hierro.

The combination of Balzaretti and Maicon on both sides, Conti and Guardiola in midfield, Ribery and Poboski on both sides, Milito and Di Natale on the front line, that is to say, in this game, except for Zola, several other veterans will all appear.
In order to better cope with the game, Li Yi also used a status card on Hierro. Hierro's experience is the team's treasure, but Hierro's physical fitness has declined significantly compared to last season.

After half-time, Guardiola stood in front of Smicer, and then the Czech midfielder passed the ball back to captain Gerrard, who took the ball again and crossed the half-time.

In the first 10 minutes of the game, both sides had only one shot. Liverpool's first shot happened in the 4th minute, and the captain tested Petr Cech with a long shot from outside the penalty area.

According to the original history, Gerrard and Cech should have fought each other long ago, but because of Li Yi's appearance, Cech is still in Cagliari.

Li Yi knew Gerrard's long-range shots very well. Before the game, Li Yi had enriched Cagliari's players to minimize Gerrard's long-range shots outside the penalty area.

Coincidentally, Cagliari's first shot was also a long-range shot, and it also came from the captain of the team, Gerrard's long-range shot was excellent, and Conte's long-range shot was also very good.

However, compared to Gerrard who focuses on offense, Conte focuses more on defense. Captain Cagliari is too important to the team and can even be irreplaceable.

This can be seen from the number of appearances of Carus. Except for the goalkeeper position, Carus is the player with the fewest appearances of Cagliari players.

The shooting method is the same, and the result is the same. Conte's long-range shot failed to hit the goal frame and was slightly higher than the crossbar.

After 10 minutes of testing, the two sides began to speed up the pace. The Premier League itself is a fast-paced league, on the contrary, Serie A is a slow-paced league.

However, Cagliari has always been regarded as an alternative team in Serie A. No, it should be said to be a comprehensive team. It can be slow when it wants to be slow, and it is absolutely not timid when it is fast.

The last match against AC Milan is the best proof. As for confrontation, Cagliari is not afraid. Don't forget, Li Yi is a man with buffs.

And before this game, Li Yi spent almost all the points in the mall in order to permanently improve the Man of Steel, from the original 15.00% to [-]%.

The body is the capital of the revolution. This sentence is also applicable on the court. For players, the body is the foundation of everything. If you don’t even have a healthy body, then no matter how good your skills are, your awareness will be useless.

Football history has never lacked players ruined by injuries, not to mention others, in Serie A, Inzaghi is a typical example, if Inzaghi didn't have so many injuries, perhaps his achievements would be even higher.

Of course, because of the injury, Inzaghi has many attractive advantages, but Li Yi believes that if Inzaghi is given a choice, he will definitely want a healthy body.

In the 12th minute, Cagliari took the lead. Guardiola found Ribéry. After taking the ball, the Frenchman resolutely attacked Finnan, and with Li Yi's own speed and technique, he directly passed the Liverpool right back.

In the middle, Milito and Di Natale both rushed into the penalty area, drawing the attention of other Liverpool defensive players for Ribery and creating space for Ribery to shoot.
