Chapter 82 The Final Goal!

In Benitez's view, Wansheng was really bold and chose to sacrifice Anelka's scoring ability to create opportunities for others.

Compared to letting Anelka play, this style of play is really not good or bad, but Liverpool didn't expect it, he didn't expect that the goal just now proved that Wansheng's tactic was successful. Can smile.

He certainly wasn't willing to lose like that, but with a 2-0 deficit, his side won't have any chance unless the 'Istanbul Miracle' plays out at Manchester Stadium.

At the same time, the scene in the stands of Liverpool fans attracted many people's attention. After seeing Robbie Fowler's goal, many Liverpool fans shouted a touching sentence, "Robbie, come back!"

There were only a few voices at the beginning, and soon Liverpool fans started shouting, which made the whole stadium atmosphere very touching. Robbie Fowler also stopped and looked over. His face was no longer excited. Some It's just complex, and the only thing that's not in complex emotions is moving.

He was indeed a player from Liverpool, but instead of leaving voluntarily, the club insisted on selling him!

At that time, he was plagued by injuries, and he could only watch his friend Michael Owen gradually become famous, while he was gradually forgotten, and then Liverpool Club also gave up on him, he was traded to Leeds United, and then came again and again. Manchester City.

In the past few years, Liverpool never thought of recalling themselves, and now they suddenly think of themselves! ?

How ridiculous!

Liverpool's striker is weak, lacks strikers, and they are in good shape, so they think of themselves, but now they don't need to leave Manchester City, because they are in good shape and leave for Liverpool. No one knows what it will be like.

So the answer is already obvious.

Robbie Fowler shook his head, stopped thinking about these annoying things, and continued to run forward and threw himself into the game.

......

The game on the field has heated up.

Although everyone knew that Liverpool had little chance, they still played as hard as they could, and they had already scored. The pressure on the entire formation is still very powerful. There was no need for Manchester City to fight with them, so they retreated slightly, but Liverpool actually had some advantages on the field.

At the most intense moment of the game, the coaches of both sides, Wan Sheng and Benitez, did not sit on the bench, but walked to the sidelines. Both were focused on the game.

Now both sides have some opportunities.

Manchester City due to have two goals. They didn't have to fight with Liverpool, so they focused more on defense. Liverpool fought hard and pressed very forward, but it can be seen that their defense in the backcourt is very empty, but now their only option is to attack.

For a period of time, the luck of both teams was a bit bad.

Liverpool put the ball into the box three times in a row. Two more threats were made but ultimately failed to score; City also had two chances and played a quick counter-attack. But the two mistakes of the frontcourt players wasted the opportunity.

Until the last ten minutes of the game, the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and the score on the field did not weaken at all because of the passage of time.

The score is still 2:0, Manchester City lead at home.

Although Liverpool played very well on the field, the face of the Liverpool media is not good, because it is obvious who wins and who loses. They originally came with the expectation of defeating Manchester City. As a result, Manchester City is now leading by two goals. Far from what they expected.

They were also dissatisfied with the course of the game, as Robbie Fowler became a key player and performed very well.

They were expecting Robbie Fowler to return to Anfield, but they definitely did not expect Robbie Fowler to perform so well, because in this case, it is impossible for Manchester City to let go. Robbie Fowler will definitely play for Manchester City until the season The end - even if he wants to leave.

So they could only curse in their hearts, "Damn Manchester!"

Minutes later, both sides were still entangled and deadlocked.

On the other hand, the Manchester City media is elated. There are too many things to say about this game. The splendor itself has been unexpected. Manchester City's victory is the biggest champion, because this is their tenth victory in the league -- ten consecutive victories. what!

The ten-game winning streak in the Premier League is a very dazzling achievement!

Chelsea's nine-game winning streak at the beginning of the season was already quite appalling. They didn't expect Manchester City to have such a good result, so they had enough reason to be happy about it.

So after seeing the time passing by a little bit and the end of the game getting closer and closer, the Manchester City media reporters are as excited as the fans. Some of them are real Manchester City fans. It is normal to be happy for Manchester City's results. The others are purely excited for the post-match reports. They are sure that Manchester City's 10-game winning streak will definitely attract the attention of the whole of England and even the whole of Europe.

Seeing the appearance of the Manchester City media, the Liverpool media could only curse in their hearts.

But they have to be a little envious in their hearts... Ten consecutive victories, such a good result is indeed worth celebrating.

......

Now everyone thinks that the game is over, and a 2-0 win by Manchester City is the best result.

But there is one person who doesn't see it that way, and that is Wansheng.

Indeed, to beat Liverpool 2-0 at home and to win the league's tenth game is great, but he knows better that every minute of every game is taken very seriously, even now 2-0 Leading, in fact, the team did not do the best, some players on the field were slack, their running became inactive, so that some opportunities were missed.

Wan Sheng couldn't help walking to the sidelines and yelling, "Be serious! The game isn't over yet! It's not clear yet!"

Under his supervision, Manchester City's performance on the field has improved a lot.

Next, Li Wansheng plans to make a substitution.

At this time, with the team leading 2-0, substitutions are very technical, because victory is not the only one, and substituting substitute players can also give others a chance. Of course, the most important thing is not to affect the victory.

So who to replace?

Wansheng replaced two people in one breath, one was Koppelle Ferreira, who replaced the captain Distin, whose physical fitness declined. The other was Andy Cole, who replaced Robbie Fowler, who was doing well.

Comparatively speaking, the subsequent substitutions are notable.

Robbie Fowler's performance is really good. Both of Manchester City's goals are directly related to him. Now Wansheng chooses to replace him. There are actually two reasons. One is naturally to give him a chance to enjoy the applause of the fans in the audience, and the other is that his physical fitness is reaching its limit. There are too many movements in the 'kill' tactic, and the physical requirements are still very high, especially in the frontcourt. Players, need to constantly run back and forth, but also to build a wall in the front court. These are all very energy-intensive.

In fact, the increase in physical consumption in football matches is an overall general trend. Not only Wansheng teams do this.

In the era of fifty years ago, a good professional player only needed to run 4,000 meters on the court; ten years ago, a professional player who ran 10,000 meters was already considered a top class player. At that time, such a player would definitely be praised as diligent; But now, 10,000 meters has almost become a professional standard for division - if you run 10,000 meters in a race, you are just passing the test.

This is also the general trend of football development in terms of running. There are eleven people on the field, and the positioning of each position is gradually blurred. A team becomes a whole, and more and more movement drives the movement of the whole.

Wansheng's "kill" tactics. It is absolutely in line with the law of football development, so it has a good power. Of course, the running requirements of the players are also very high.

There are several players in the team who are very physically fit, such as Joey Barton, Distin, Anelka, etc., but Robbie Fowler is definitely not one of them. Due to frequent injuries in the past few years, even if Now the physical condition is not bad, and the physical fitness is also in the bottom of the team.

Since he can't run anymore, staying on the court is also a drag on the entire team, so Wansheng can only choose to replace him.

......

When Robbie Fowler came off, the Manchester City fans in the audience applauded, and he hugged Andy Cole, who came on, and walked off the pitch.

Wan Sheng also greeted him, threw a bottle of water over, patted Robbie Fowler on the shoulder and said, "Nice job!"

Robbie Fowler smiled and thanked the compliment.

Next, Wan Sheng grabbed Robbie Fowler's hand and walked back to the coach's seat. It's not that he wanted to touch a man's hand... well, it's a bit disgusting to say that, but In fact, this is mainly done for the media.

You say Robbie Fowler is infinitely close to Liverpool?

have a look!

Robbie Fowler is indeed in very good condition. He became the decisive player in the game against Liverpool, and at the same time he has a very high relationship with the head coach Wan Sheng. The two can chat and laugh like friends. There is no contradiction at all, so how could Robbie Fowler choose to leave Manchester City and return to Liverpool?

......

Andy Cole has played.

In the team, Andy Cole is a rookie, but no one dares to underestimate the veteran. In fact, some Manchester City fans once objected to Cole's status as a rival Manchester United in the summer. In several league games, Cole's performance on the pitch made him accepted by more Manchester City fans.

Now he has become a very important card in Wansheng's hand.

Among the Manchester City strikers, Anelka is the most attractive, and his performance is too eye-catching; in addition, as a rookie Darren Bent, his performance can definitely be excellent, because he is only a teenager, many media, Fans are paying more attention to him; Robbie Fowler is in excellent form again in the current game.

Manchester City's striker has blossomed more!

But under such circumstances, no one dares to ignore Andy Cole. As a 34-year-old veteran, his steady goals are shocking.

In the previous league, Andy Cole scored three goals, which is not a lot, but in fact, he only played 8 times, and 4 of them were on the bench. This efficiency is still very good.

Wansheng is also looking forward to Andy Kerr's appearance, and he wants to see what surprises the veteran can bring.

But not everyone understands his substitutions, especially Robbie Fowler, who was the best performer, so when they saw Manchester City's substitutions, some commentators said, "Look! Manchester City is doing it. Substitution adjustment, Robbie Fowler walked off the field with the cheers of the audience. It seems that Wansheng wants Fowler to enjoy a heroic treatment, but it is still a bit early to make substitutions. 2:0 is indeed guaranteed Victory, but with Robbie Fowler on the field, the threat to Liverpool will be even greater. Even if substitutions are made, a teenager should be replaced to give young players some opportunities to play on the field..." It's a pity that he said everything Can't change Wansheng's decision, and Andy Cole has played.

Liverpool felt a little humiliated when they saw Andy Cole play, they thought it was Manchester City that they were sure to win the game, and their attack was even more fierce.

The game has reached its final stage.

Manchester City did not expect that Liverpool would attack so fiercely, and they were a little passive for a while, but their defense was still very tight. At the same time, with the help of Morris, Joey Barton and others, they also frequently counterattacked.

This time, when Morris steals the ball, he is very calm in the face of Liverpool players' pressing.

He passed the ball firmly to Joey Barton.

Joey Barton stopped the ball and transferred it directly to Andy Cole in front. Andy Cole then transferred it to Sinclair. The football has been transferred several times, and it has been from Manchester City half to Liverpool half. field.

This kind of pass and coordination is very pleasing to the eye, and many fans in the stands cheered.

The football had reached Sinclair's feet, and under the cheers coming from his ears, he suddenly sped up and took it forward.

Sinclair is not well-known, but he has always been Manchester City's main full-back, even Wright - Phillips is difficult to replace his position.

He relies on speed and breakthrough ability. His speed is very fast, and the breakthrough action is simple and practical. It is relying on these two aspects that he can take a firm position in Manchester City, and his speed and breakthrough have also become Manchester City's important offense. means.

Now Liverpool are pressing very high. They have just finished a wave of offensive, and the defense in the backcourt seems to be very empty. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sinclair directly chose to dribble the ball himself.

In fact, this is also the task that Wansheng gave him.

The 'kill' tactic does require cooperation, but the arena is ever-changing, and it is impossible to always rely on cooperation. When the opponent's defense is empty, it is most practical to counterattack more quickly. Now has reached the critical moment.

When Sinclair rushed up with the ball, the Liverpool defence immediately panicked.

Their back defense is already very empty, and the flank can be described as almost nobody. When Sinclair rushed up, they could not defend effectively at all. As a result, they could only separate the right side from the middle and only one Finnan to interfere in the past. But he also had a hard time stopping Sinclair.

Bringing it closer to the Liverpool penalty area, Sinclair slowed down.

He didn't intend to bring the ball to the bottom line, it was very impractical to do so, he just glanced in the direction of the middle, and then directly chose to pass the ball!

This pass is very sudden!

Finnan originally wanted to stop Sinclair in front, how could he know that he just passed the ball like this? As a result, he could only watch the football rush to the middle.

There's a figure there - Maurice!

Morris followed, and he received the ball in front of the penalty area line. This position is quite dangerous. The retreating Jamie Carragher gave up Anelka and ran over almost immediately, but what he did not expect was, Morris didn't stop the ball at all, but continued to make a pass.

left?

Yes...Andy Cole! !

A dark figure followed, and he waved his right leg without hesitation, and the football was instantly hit and flew towards the goal.

Andy Cole's shot didn't hit the goal from a small angle, but it was powerful enough. In addition, it was very unexpected, making it difficult for Liverpool goalkeeper Reina to react. The only thing he did was to take his arm and watch it Fly into the net with the football from hand.

“Goooooooooooooal!!!!!!!”

"Andy Cole!!!"

"3:0! The game can be announced early, Andy Cole helped Manchester City score the third goal!" (To be continued ~^~)
