Chapter 71 The Magical Midfielder (1)
Liverpool's core Gerrard is one of the best midfielders in the world, with almost no weaknesses. His interception and the running impact between the two penalty areas are the source of Liverpool's motivation. After getting rid of the shadow of the departure storm, the Reds have been waiting for higher achievements for a long time, and with him, there is always a possibility of miracles.
In 1892, a quarrel broke out between Everton Club and John Houlding, the owner of Anfield Stadium. The former left Anfield to go to Goodison Park, while the latter angrily established a new club, Liverpool. Between 1900 and 1947, Liverpool won five top league titles and quickly became one of the best teams in England.
Now, Manchester City will go to Anfield to challenge the powerful Liverpool. Huanglong has made major changes to the team. Heitinga replaced Mikhailovic and appeared in the defending lineup, which greatly compensates for the turning and speed problems on the defense line.
At the same time, Ayala's frontal defense ability and header strength can be fully utilized. In the midfield, Huang Long arranged two midfielders, Davis and Maduro started at the same time, among which Maduro was responsible for the transition from defense to offense, conducting large-scale interludes, while Davis was only responsible for intercepting the midfield, setting up the first barrier for the back line!
Juan roman riquelme (juan roman riquelme) serves as the midfielder, and most of the offense will be handed over to him to organize. At the same time, the rhythm of the game will be controlled by him. However, before the game, Huang Long put forward a point for him, that is, to speed up his personal rhythm and to increase the speed.
Fowler serves as the center on the forward line, while Vassel and Sinclair use their speed to tear the opponent's defense from left to right. Now, except for the goalkeeper and two fullbacks, Manchester City can basically be considered world-class. So today, although on the away game, Huang Long is determined to play an attacking battle with Liverpool!
Now Huanglong is standing in front of Anfield.
The building opposite Paisley's gate was hung with the "the KOP" and the Liverpool Club's team logo. This is the KOP stand as huge as its reputation. Anfield = Liverpool, or Liverpool = Anfield, and the huge KOP stand first gave him a clear concept.
Anfield Stadium’s own fame and long history have long made it a temple of football spirit. But around this temple, it is full of crowded houses and "working class settlements". Today is the first time Huanglong saw Anfield, which really shocked him. On the one hand, it is because Anfield is as majestic and sacred as the legendary majesty and sacred; on the other hand, it is because the crowded and messy and dilapidated residential areas around it forms a huge contrast. It is possible, in a moment, history and present, imagination and reality, sacred and rough, surged into his heart at the same time. Can all the beautiful things be accompanied by huge regrets?
Today's game will be broadcast live to the whole world. Huang Long felt extremely excited when he thought of his friends who were far away in China who could see him commanding the game on TV!
However, more excited than him is Fowler (robbie fobsp; The main lineup of Liverpool today is: Reina/Finnan, Carragher, Hypia, Volvok/Gerard, Alonso, Harman, Rithia/Cisse, Crouch
This game is Benitez's 100th Premier League game that led Liverpool to participate. Centen was injured before the game, and Riser replaced the Dutch winger as the left front, and young player Volvok as the left back. Crouch, who has not scored in eight consecutive games, is still trusted by Benitez, and he partnered with Cice. Captain Gerrard continues to serve as a midfielder.
The newly bought Serbia national team central defender Nemania; Vidic, along with Morientes and others, was placed on the bench.
When Manchester City entered the court, Anfield fans shouted the slogan "Fowler, welcome you home", which made him feel a little moved. After all, the fans did not forget the happiness he once brought to them. Fowler's eyes began to get a little wet, but when he saw the Liverpool officials on the rostrum, his eyes turned cold again.
The teammates standing beside him all felt a chill coming out of him.
After guessing first, Manchester City kicked the ball first. After the game, Manchester City focused on the left guarded by Volvok. In the third minute, Sun Jihai made a long pass on the right. Maduro did not wait for the ball to land during the high-speed running, and directly picked the ball to Juan román riquelme, who was more than ten meters in front of him.
As soon as Riquelme got the ball, the whole game became nervous. This was his first game in England. Now it was his first time to get the ball. What would happen to this player who was introduced by Huanglong at the highest price in the history of the club? People are waiting and seeing!
Can he adapt to the Premier League style? Is his performance as failure as he is at Barcelona or as outstanding as he is at Villarreal? Can he control the rhythm of the game? Can his passes tear open the defense of a strong team? Can he speed up his speed? This all needs Riquelme to give the answer!
At this moment, he finally got the ball. Manchester City fans are now looking forward to it, while Liverpool fans are puzzled. They hope that they can't adapt to Premier League games at all, because his opponent is Liverpool. Only the team they support will no one want the team they support to lose the game, even the generous Liverpool fans.
Alonso and Harman pressed up at the same time the ball reached Riquelme. German veteran Harman said before the game: "Ricklme is a very excellent player. We must strictly guard him and not let him take the ball at will." But when he really faced the opponent, he realized that many things were much more difficult than saying it!
