Chapter Four Hundred
"Did you see, No. 18, the little scumbag who looks less than 1.7 meters tall, your task today is to stare him to death and make him unable to move an inch!"
When the players on the two sides were warming up on the court, Alonso pulled Mascherano and pointed to Merian in the opposing team's lineup and said to the colt. ? Hunting? Wen? ?? ?????????? ??
Mascherano, who got the opportunity because of Deco's rotation rest, nodded with a serious expression, and looked at Merian with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Merian's contempt for Notts County has caused a lot of trouble. This is a provocation that Notts County will not encounter in the near future. Even if Alonso doesn't say it, he will take the initiative to take good care of Merian.
Anyway, the team doesn't need his offensive ability very much. As long as he follows Merian, he will have the confidence to make Merian invisible on the court.
He is no longer the stunned young man in the Pakistani League. After more than two seasons of training in the English League, his own talent and the confrontation he has trained from English players are still all kinds of small moves. If he is really serious, It can make a player feel so uncomfortable that he wants to kill himself.
Unfortunately, today Merian became a victim.
Within a few minutes of the opening, the arrogant Merian felt the pressure, and was followed by a small tail-like Mascherano. Wherever he ran, the small tail followed. In these few minutes, he even scored once. Neither received.
Marseille started very cautiously, not aggressively attacking, just a little test in the midfield, and as the midfield commander Merian could not get the ball, let alone a threatening attack.
Seeing that there was no chance to get the ball under the man's marking, he simply retreated to the backcourt to get the ball, otherwise he was really worried that he would not even have a chance to leave the country in this game.
But what he didn't expect was that he retreated, and the guy from Notts County who looked like a boring jerk also followed him to halftime, just like candy, he wondered if this guy had anything to do with his ass. What are you thinking, there are a lot of people who have been bent over these years!
Mascherano has his task, but the rest of Notts County is still playing step by step. Since Marseille does not take the initiative, they have no intention of being modest.
He is still the best at high-intensity pressing, and has built a solid line of defense in the midfield. Even if Mascherano did not return to his position due to special tasks, it was still blocked.
At present, the style of the Ligue 1 team is still very close to the Latin style, and the rhythm is generally slow.
And to a large extent rely on individual skills, integrity is not their forte.
Therefore, this kind of high-level pressing is actually very restrained by the Ligue 1 team. Marseille, as its representative, is naturally subject to great restrictions. The attack cannot open the situation at all. Even if the ball is in control, it can only fall in the backcourt. , did not threaten the Notts County goal.
Of course, a large part of the factor lies in Merian. Without his link, Marseille's offense would simply be out of touch.
As a result, the game has not been played for ten minutes. Marseille, who is playing at home, has fallen into a passive situation. The Marseille fans in the stands are anxious to see that.
Merian, who was extremely irritated by Mascherano's marking, could no longer restrain his anger.
"Can you please not circle around me, okay? I'll stab you out!" Merian finally received a pass from his teammate, but he had to pass it back to the goalkeeper under the close pressure of Xiao Ma. , finally burning with anger, turned his head and sprayed wildly at Brother Xiao Ma.
Merian was short in stature, and Mascherano was not tall, but he was strong enough. He looked down at Merian, who was blowing the beard and staring at him, his expression full of disdain.
Feeling Mascherano's contempt, Merian's eyes were red and he was about to act, but at this time the referee saw the confrontation between the two of them, and quickly ran over to separate the two, and then each gave a warning, Only then did an all-martial exercise disappear into nothingness.
To say that Merian still has a certain strength, otherwise he would not be known as Zidane's successor. After receiving a pass from his teammate, he used a very realistic fake to shake Mascherano away. After finally getting rid of Mascherano's defense for the first time, he wanted to dash forward with the ball, but before he could get up, he was shoveled to the ground by Alonso, who came out of the diagonal stab. , Alonso also received a yellow card for this.
Alonso got up and left expressionlessly, but Merian was so painful that he didn't want to get up, and his heart was surging.
Brother Xiao Ma quickly thanked Alonso, because Alonso got a yellow card for solving his troubles, but Alonso naturally wouldn't care about this, just told him to be careful and never give Merian anything. Chance.
The little Ma, who has been taught a lesson, is even more obscene in his marking on Merian. When he is close to the body, he is not harassing Merian with his small gestures, and even the sensitive parts are not spared, which makes Merian get goosebumps all over. .
"Could this guy be a real gay? No wonder his expression was so secretive when he said he was going to blow his chrysanthemum." Merry muttered under his breath, and then looked at Brother Ma with a more complicated look.
I don’t know if it’s disgusting psychologically. Merian basically avoided the pony in the next game. It doesn’t matter if he can’t get the ball all the time, as long as Mascherano doesn’t let Mascherano get on him. That's it.
Merian's abnormal behavior was seen by the Marseille coach. He didn't understand what happened between the two. He just felt that Merian was avoiding the confrontation with Mascherano, or was paddling on the field. It's just like sleepwalking!
The team's offense needs to rely on Merian, but if the team's core players are invisible on the court, then the team's offense must have no rules to speak of. The Marseille coach is extremely disappointed with Merian.
In the first half, neither side was able to score. Marseille was unfavorable in offense, while Notts County had a certain element of bad luck. There were several good opportunities that were not able to be grasped, but on the whole, Notts County dominated. Absolute advantage.
When walking back to the player tunnel during the intermission, Merian hurriedly ran a few steps. At this time, there was finally no entanglement from the little brother, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed.
"Merian, take a break in the second half!" Back in the locker room, Merian didn't expect that what was waiting for him was a blow to the head.
He didn't know what happened, so he asked in a loud voice, "Sir, why did you replace me? I'm the core of the team's attack. Without me, how can we break the Notts County goal?" (Unfinished) to be continued.)
