Li Ang touched his chin and thought about Benitez's two substitutions.
Pennant was signed by the Gunners from Notts County for 2 million pounds when he was only 16 years old. There is no doubt that Wenger has high hopes for this young winger with unlimited potential. Pennant became a member of the Gunners at the age of 16 years and 319 days.
At that time, the youngest player to make his debut in the team's history, he lived up to expectations and scored a hat-trick in his league debut. However, Pennant, who became famous at a young age, was always causing trouble off the court and was almost jailed for being accused of "qiangjian".
Because of these off-field problems, Pennant was ultimately unable to fully unleash his potential with the Gunners. After later transferring to Liverpool, his performance fell far short of people's previous expectations for him.
Pennant has speed, so replacing him is a signal that Liverpool needs to strengthen their wing attack. Of course, replacing Crouch, who is 2,201 centimeters tall, further points to Benitez's tactical intentions.
Li Ang then observed Liverpool's position after this substitution. After Finnan was replaced, Liverpool's formation changed to 352! This is a very offensive lineup.
Carragher, Hyypia and Aurelio formed a back three, Lucas, Gerrard and Alonso formed a midfield three, Babel and Pennant were on the wings, and Crouch and Torres were in front.
Benitez is about to make a fatal blow.
A smile appeared on Li Ang's lips. With such a lineup and such an overwhelming performance, Liverpool, who are best at seizing opportunities, are definitely the favorites of Inter Milan.
Three minutes later, Leon also used up his last substitution spot. Diego Milito was replaced and David Silva came on as a substitute.
Commentators Ferrari and Rossi were surprised to see Li Ang's substitution adjustment. This is a lineup that Inter Milan has never used before. Aguero was passively substituted because Materazzi was sent off.
Now, Milito has also been replaced, and now Inter Milan can even be said to have no real forward on the field.
"Is Li Ang going to use a forwardless tactic?" Ferrari exclaimed.
"Let's look at Inter Milan's current midfield and frontcourt. Carlos, Muntari and Modric are of course still in the midfield. In front are Mata, Silva and Arshavin..." Liverpool's commentator was also thinking about it.
Li Ang's substitution adjustment, he paused, and then laughed out loud, "Three dwarfs in front... Is this the three dwarf combination created by Li Ang for Inter Milan?"
With Liverpool trailing 3-0, the Liverpool commentator finally laughed out loud, as if Inter Milan's frontcourt configuration was so funny.
***********
Crouch's appearance provided Liverpool with a high fulcrum in the penalty area. Liverpool made a lot of crosses from the wing and achieved certain results.
Pennant made a cross, and Crouch stood out from the crowd in the penalty area, swinging his head to attack the goal. Although under the interference of Zanetti, his header was deflected and failed to directly threaten Inter Milan's goal. However,
But it caused a chaos in the Inter Milan penalty area. In the chaos, Torres found an opportunity and completed a difficult half-turn sweep shot.
This shot was of extremely high quality, but Cesar still made a high-quality save. He jumped out and almost touched the football out of the baseline with his fingertips!
"Cesar!! Great save! Incredible save! He proved his strength and kept the goal!"
After throwing the football away, Cesar clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly to remind his teammates to pay attention to defense.
Zanetti also ran over, hugged Cesar, patted his back hard, and thanked him for this crucial save.
Li Ang also applauded on the sidelines. Cesar's save was very crucial. The game has entered the last 20 minutes. Inter Milan's players, who were sent off in the first half, may also have a physical crisis. This is International Milan.
Milan's biggest crisis at present is that at this moment, if Liverpool pulls a goal back, it may have an immeasurable impact on the trend of the game.
Liverpool's corner kick, Xabi Alonso drove the football into the penalty area. This time Cesar performed more steadily. He struck out early and picked the football off in the air. Then he was knocked to the ground by Crouch. The referee's
The whistle sounded, Crouch collided with the goalkeeper, and Liverpool committed an offensive foul.
***********
Liverpool, which was fully attacking, encountered a dangerous situation in the 75th minute of the game and almost conceded a goal: this time, Inter Milan played a beautiful counterattack, and Modric, Mata and Arshavin connected.
After passing the ball, Modric sent a reverse pass. After receiving Modric's diagonal transfer ball, David Silva dribbled the ball along the wing to the heart of Liverpool. He got past Lucas.
Then he took a shot and shot it slightly over the crossbar.
Two minutes later, Gerrard suddenly shot a long shot in front of the penalty area. The football was saved by Cesar again and it was Liverpool's corner kick.
Crouch received Alonso's corner kick and headed the ball towards the goal in the penalty area. Unfortunately, he failed to keep the ball straight and hit the ball high again.
Just ten seconds later, Inter Milan's counterattack came.
Zanetti assisted in the frontcourt. He tried to cut horizontally into the middle, but he used the heel of the football to stab Muntari behind him. The latter suddenly swept the football to the middle. Modric suddenly kicked off after dribbling the ball.
A long shot, the football missed the right post.
During this period, both Inter Milan's and Liverpool's offenses suddenly intensified. The two sides attacked back and forth. In the words of the commentator, at the last moment of the game, the pace of the game suddenly accelerated.
However, what surprised the commentator was that in the subsequent game, the Liverpool team, which was alone on the field, gradually fell into a disadvantage in the midfield confrontation.
Inter Milan's numerical disadvantage was not reflected much at this moment.
It’s not that the current physical condition of Inter Milan’s players is not bad, but because Inter Milan has Carlos in the midfield, he almost sweeps the midfield, from left to right, from side to center, wherever there is danger, there is this
Figures of Spanish players.
***********
"Inter Milan is actually fighting with Liverpool and still has a certain initiative at this time." Ferrari marveled, "You can't even see the impact of the visiting team's numerical disadvantage yet!"
"Juan Carlos, one person is worth two people on the court. Now Inter Milan is not at a disadvantage in terms of numbers because they have Carlos!" Rossi also praised Carlos' performance.
.
Li Ang sat on the coaching bench, scratching his chin, but his expression was a little gloomy. He replaced David Silva just to see how Silva, Mata and Arshavin, three short players,
What kind of chemical reaction can be produced in a short period of time? This is also an attempt by Inter Milan's strikerless formation. Although Silva's previous shot also posed a threat to Liverpool's goal, overall, the three players on the field are now
The performance of a player who is not very tall has not yet met his expectations.
Li Ang stood up, walked to the sidelines, whistled, and waved his hands with an angry expression: he was expressing his dissatisfaction.
