Chapter 432 The Wily Benitez

Chapter 432 The wily Benitez

"Looking at my starting lineup, Gerrard, the captain of the Red Army, did not appear in the team's starting lineup today. This is really unscientific!

You know, the opponent the Red Army faces today is Crystal Palace. If the Red Army could still send out most of the substitutes to despise the opponent in the first confrontation last season, can the Red Army still despise the defending champion of the league now? Beni

What kind of trouble is Tes trying to make with this move?

Well, it seems that the topic has gone too far, so let me continue talking about Liverpool's starting lineup.

In the midfield, the four players sent by the Red Army today are No. 15 Benayoun on the left, No. 11 Riera on the right, No. 14 Xabi Alonso and No. 20 Mascherano in the middle.

At the front are No. 18 Kuyt and No. 7 Robbie Keane.

After talking about Liverpool, let’s take a look at the defending league champion Crystal Palace.

Today, Crystal Palace's starting lineup has changed a lot from last season when they won the championship.

First of all, in terms of formation, Friedman has come up with something new, completely abandoning the 5-3-2 he was comfortable with last season and playing 4-2-3-1! [

Lineup:

There is no change in the goalkeeper, it is still No. 1 Diego Lopez.

In terms of defense, none of the four familiar faces we were familiar with last season are missing!

Today, the four players standing in the Crystal Palace defense are

Left back Zabaleta, right back Glen Johnson, two centre-backs Vincent Kompany and Lescott.

In the midfield, there are two defensive midfielders, Yaya Toure and Modric.

Left midfielder Gareth Bale, right midfielder Wright Jr., Wright-Phillips. The forward one, No. 10 Sneijder.

As for the person at the front, I don’t need to tell you. Everyone knows it. It’s naturally Lee, the new European footballer!

Okay, the game has started, let’s enter the game scene together.”

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

"Beep, beep, beep!" As the referee on duty blew his whistle, the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at home was announced to have officially started.

And when the game started, Liverpool, playing at home, quickly showed a desire to win that was obviously much stronger than that of Crystal Palace!

As the saying goes, when the road is narrow, the brave will win!

Crystal Palace and Liverpool, strictly speaking, there is not much difference in strength between the two. Under such circumstances, when one of the two warring parties obviously has a stronger desire to win, the situation on the court will be somewhat deflected, just a little bit.

No wonder![

10 minutes! Crystal Palace only relied on defense to withstand Liverpool for 10 minutes. Crystal Palace, which lacked fighting spirit in this game, unfortunately lost the ball first in the 11th minute of the game!

Moreover, the goal conceded was not really the kind of goal that Liverpool relied on the team's skillful cooperation to create, but the kind of goal that should not have been conceded no matter how you look at it.

At that time, it was Riera who got the ball from the right wing, went down at high speed and sent a cross.

However, this simple high-altitude ball defense could not be simpler for either Lescott or Kompany. After some courtesy, in the end, Lescott took the ball from the Crystal Palace side.

Pushed out of the restricted area.

The first point of the cross was cleared by Crystal Palace in advance? It doesn't matter. In the last two minutes, almost the entire team has passed the half. Liverpool, who was practicing half-time offense and defense in the Crystal Palace half-time, said, let's do it again!

No, after Alonso took the second point of control of the ball not far from the penalty area, he quickly sent the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area again.

And perhaps seeing that the previous high-altitude balls did not have much effect on Crystal Palace, when passing the ball this time, Alonso, who has never lacked creativity, chose a half-high ball.

"!" Seeing the ball being whipped into the penalty area by Alonso flatly and quickly, following the instinct of a defender, Lescott stretched his head forward without hesitation before the ball flew right behind him, ready to

The second end!

However, before making this instinctive action, Lescott really forgot a very important issue, that is - Alonso's cross was not only fast, but also, Alonso's ball was not

A high ball, but a half high ball!

What is the difference between a lob and a half-lob?

The balls are all flying off the lawn. At first glance, there is no difference. Even for the forward, it is just a straight body to hit the ball, or a diving dive to the top, there is not much difference!

Unfortunately, for the defensive players, there is a big difference between defending such a half-high ball and defending a high ball!

First of all, the first difficulty in defending this kind of half-high ball is to choose which body to supplement the ball to clear the ball!

And it is obvious that Lescott, who was on the court and started the game for Crystal Palace, made a very wrong demonstration in front of the fans watching the live broadcast of the game all over the world - using his head!

Well, in theory, it is not impossible to use the head to clear the ball in a half-high ball. However, it is a pity that after choosing to use the head to clear the ball, Lescott, who is relatively stiff, failed to make a clearance before the ball arrived.

Complete your own bending movements simultaneously!

Then, Lescott was in tragedy on the court, then Diego Lopez was in tragedy, and Crystal Palace was also in tragedy!

Seeing Lescott use a very standard diving leap to the top of the pitch and directly head Alonso's cross into his own door, all the Crystal Palace personnel present today were stunned!

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

"Uh! goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, Crystal Palace scored, 1-0! No! It was Liverpool who scored! Uh, that's not right either!

Ah, anyway, it was Lescott's header and own goal, and Liverpool led the score 1-0!

Although this goal was a self-imposed own goal by Crystal Palace, to a large extent it still reflected the success of Liverpool's opening tactics.

Looking at the first 10 minutes of this game, it can be said that Benitez brought his cunning to the extreme!

Knowing that your Crystal Palace hasn't adjusted well yet, I wasn't polite to you at all when you first came up. I hit you hard with a few heavy punches, and Crystal Palace was immediately blinded!

Friedman, Friedman, adjust quickly. If the game goes like this in the first 10 minutes, then Crystal Palace may be massacred for the first time since they were promoted to the Premier League today!

Yes, you heard me right, it was the first time I was massacred! As we all know, thanks to the possession of Lee, a unique gun, Crystal Palace did not commit any massacre last season.

Could it be that today, Crystal Palace is really going to follow that warning and come out to mess around, and sooner or later it will have to pay back?"

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

The score on the field was just 1-0, and the Sky TV commentator JK started talking about massacre and bloodbath! It sounds like his argument is ridiculous, but if Friedman hears this sentence, as a Crystal Palace

The head coach, but he didn't think the other party was joking.

Yes, it is true that the score is only 1-0 now, but anyone with eyes can see the past 10 minutes of the game! The reason for Liverpool's success today is not actually their super fighting consciousness, but more importantly

The reason is that they have grasped the lifeblood of Crystal Palace, which is the highlighted incompatibility between Modric and Yaya Toure.

In this game, Crystal Palace switched from defense to offense 9 times out of 10, all of which were destroyed by Liverpool when Modric and Yaya Toure cooperated. As a result, Liverpool could continue to suppress Crystal Palace!

Otherwise, you can't explain why Crystal Palace, which has one more luxury midfielder than the opponent, including Yaya Toure, Modric, Sneijder, Bale, and Wright-Phillips, was replaced by Liverpool.

He couldn't even get through half the game!
