Chapter 470 Battle at Anfield②

"Nice steal!" John Mortensen yelled into the headset.

Insua tried to get past Milner, but Milner shrewdly stabbed him first.

The football is poked open.

Then Milner stepped forward directly, and at the same time pouted his butt, pushing Insua away, separating the opponent from the football.

Offensive and defensive changes, Insuya hurried up to fight back.

"Here!" someone yelled.

Milner didn't seem to know who was responding, he only glanced at the light blue jersey, which is the away jersey worn by Aston Villa today.

He passed the football directly, and he continued to advance.

Petrov who received the ball did not stop the ball, and immediately passed the football again.

The two hit a wall on Liverpool's left flank.

This time, Milner completely got rid of Insua.

Seeing this, the young Liverpool central defender Daniel Ayala could only drop Deisler and turn around to intercept Milner.

He tried to keep Milner outside the box.

Milner, who was dribbling the ball, collided with Ayala, and the two fell to the ground together.

"Penalty kick!" Fang Jue raised his hand on the sidelines and shouted loudly.

"Diving!" Benitez also raised his hand, angrily indicating that there was no foul, it was a flop.

The referee did not blow the whistle, nor did he draw a card to indicate a flop, but raised his hands forward flatly - this is a gesture that the offense is favorable and the game continues!

Before Milner and Ayala collided, Milner had already passed the football first.

...

Who is this ball for? !

In the penalty area, Heskey suddenly appeared at the front point, and he fell to the ground and shoveled.

"Fuck!" Fang Jue gritted his teeth excitedly. Hesky and Deisler rushed to the same spot. Originally, Deisler's position was more suitable, but Hesky rushed forward and took the first shot.

Of course, you can't blame Heskey for this, he rushed to the position, the football came, he shot, it didn't count as a mistake.

It's like lightning and flint, two players fight together, this kind of situation is very common on the court.

"Husky-"

As the commentator roared, the football was shoveled by Husky and flew up suddenly.

When Husky shot, Reina made a save action.

"Pounced out!"

Reina hit the football with his left hand.

However, before the Liverpool fans cheered, they saw a blue figure rushing up, directly dribbling the ball into the net!

...

"Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaal!"

"Sebastian Deisler! The German scored in front of the goal, 1-0, Aston Villa scored, and they led Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield!"

"Deisler! Beautiful goal, so beautiful! The game has just started, Aston Villa pressed the frontcourt to steal the ball, and then quickly instigated the attack, one to zero, Aston Villa made a fantastic start, you know It's at Anfield!"

"This should be the fastest goal conceded at Anfield in the last ten years."

"Aston Villa's press was successful, they scored, and to hear the boos at Anfield is the best compliment to the visiting team."

After scoring the goal, Deisler went up and hugged Hesky directly. He did not complain that Hesky had repeatedly grabbed points with him, which delayed his first shot. Instead, he thanked Hesky for creating a supplementary shot for him. Opportunity.

"Hahaha, thank you, buddy! Let me have a chance to play empty goal."

Off the court, watching this scene, Fang Jue laughed and applauded, even, this scene was happier than seeing the team score.

He likes this kind of atmosphere.

There is also a healthy, sunny and happy Deisler.

very nice.

...

Benitez was very unhappy with Liverpool's conceded goal.

After seeing the ball dropped, he waved his arms on the sidelines, looking angry.

Benitez does have a reason to complain. What he is most dissatisfied with is Insua's behavior of playing with fire in his backcourt just now.

Aston Villa's players still celebrating a goal.

The Liverpool players were a little confused. They didn't expect the team to concede the goal so early.

Goalkeeper Reina was very upset. He yelled at Insua, "Bastard, what are you doing?"

Insuya looked embarrassed, and he knew he had messed up.

"I'm in charge of the ball," Insua said.

"You are responsible, you are responsible for the fart!" Reina was very angry.

"Shut up, stop arguing, it's just a ball, let's get it back!" Carragher walked over and yelled loudly.

It is not uncommon to complain about losing the ball. Everyone is angry. The important thing is that someone comes up and scolds in time to calm down both sides.

Benitez is pulling team captain Gerrard to the sidelines.

Tell him what to pay attention to in the game after losing the ball in the opening game.

"The ball was an unexpected situation."

"The game will be disrupted because of this goal."

"...after they lead, they will defend and counterattack, shrinking the defense line, we must press up and attack."

Gerald nodded in agreement.

"Tell Insua, let him press on boldly."

"Take advantage of his excellent passing characteristics."

"At Johnson's place, we should also press it up."

Benitez bent his hands slightly and made an enveloping motion, "Let Dirk Dirk to go to Villa's penalty area to interfere."

Gerrard nodded, this is to use Dirk as bait to create space and opportunities for Torres.

"Be more determined when you charge forward, and shoot long-range if you have the chance!"

Long-range shooting is one of Gerrard's forte.

Gerrard glanced at Benitez and saw that the coach had nothing to say, so he took the order and left.

...

Fang Jue was also conveying tactical instructions to the players on the other side. He called Deisler's name loudly, and when he saw the opponent looking over, he raised three fingers.

Deisler nodded.

Then Fang Jue pulled Petrov past him again, and gave a few words to the team captain, who nodded sharply and ran back to the court.

The order to Deisler was because Fang Jue trusted Deisler the most, and the latter understood what he meant.

As for Petrov's special exhortation, it is because the Bulgarian is the captain of the team, which is a respect for the authority of the captain.

Fang Jue's instructions were simple and rude.

Aston Villa did not hesitate to adopt a more thorough defensive counterattack strategy.

Originally, according to the scheduled plan, Petrov had to press forward appropriately, organize the offense, and hand over more defense to Clement.

Now, Petrov's offensive task is lightened, and he is also more involved in defense.

Generally speaking, taking the lead at the beginning is an unexpected start, but few teams will start to be so conservative at this time because of this goal.

However, Fang Jue did just that.

His wishful thinking is that he doesn't expect the team to hold for 90 minutes, what he wants is to hold the first half.

Then in the second half of the game, Salif will be replaced immediately... to fight Liverpool's counterattack!

Aston Villa's defense is successful.

Clement's defensive coverage is large, coupled with Petrov's help, and Milner's efforts, Liverpool's offense seems to be very violent, but there are not too many scoring opportunities.

"I have to give Clement a compliment," said John Mortensen. "That's the screen in front of Aston Villa's defense and it's a treat to watch him defend."

"Yes, Clement's defense is not the kind of foul that is very rough. His judgment of the landing point and the prediction of the position are very good." Lineker also praised.

"The most surprising thing is that two and a half years ago, Clemente was still playing in the Second Division B, and even in the Second Division B, he was a substitute who had difficulty getting much playing time." Tony Parker also said in admiration.

This person is very smart, and when he should praise Aston Villa, he will not be stingy, just like when he fired at Aston Villa and Fang Jue, he would definitely not be the stupidest. Try to find some evidence, even if it is evidence that can be seen through at a glance... that is evidence.

Fang Jue was sitting on the coach's bench. He was in a good mood. Thirty-nine minutes into the game, the score was still 1-0, with the visiting team Aston Villa leading.

As long as he persists for another six or seven minutes, the first half will end and the second half will start. Liverpool, who are behind in the score, will press out even more frantically...he can amplify his moves.

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded.

This is Wilfred Bauma bringing down the dribbling of Didier, the referee gave Liverpool a direct free kick.

Fang Jue couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately stood up and protested loudly, he was complaining, in his opinion, this was not a foul at all, it was just a reasonable physical collision.

"Shut up!" Liverpool's assistant coach Paco Yesterdam heard it clearly and roared angrily, "The Dutchman almost knocked Torres into the air. Do you think it was a reasonable collision?"

Fang Jue glanced at this man, he did not go up to fight.

"You're blind, it's because of your poor health."

Ceballos rushed up and fought Yeserdan.

This is the battle of equality.

After being reminded by the fourth official, the referee ran over and verbally warned Yesterdan and Ceballos.

"You two, be honest!" The referee pointed to the two assistant coaches.

Yesterdan glared at Ceballos, who was not to be outdone, and then all spit on the ground, turned and walked away.

In the summer of 2004, Yesterdan came to Liverpool along with Benitez. Before that, he was Benitez's assistant in Valencia.

In fact, since 2000 in Tenerife in West Second Division, Yesterdan has been Benitez's assistant coach. The two can be described as close relatives and friends who have fought side by side for many years.

In Liverpool, Yesterdan is mainly responsible for the daily training arrangements, and at the same time organizes the physical training of the players. In his eyes, nothing is more important than training.

Let's put it this way, Yeserdan is the most important one in Benitez's coaching team, just like Ceballos' position in Fang Jue's coaching team.

There is only one reason why Fang Jue is so preoccupied with the penalty of this free kick. This foul site is too dangerous.

He smelled a hint of danger.

Gerrard is a master of free kicks. In this position, Gerrard has the ability to score a direct free kick.

The commentator also thinks so: "28 meters from the goal... This distance is very suitable. This is one of Gerrard's favorite positions."

Aston Villa's players are dawdling in the wall, they want to waste a little more game time.

Everyone knows the coach's intention, which is to keep the 1-0 score at the end of the first half.

Now spend a little more time, and they will be closer to this goal.

After Aston Villa's wall was finally lined up, the referee stepped back, and then he signaled for Liverpool to kick-off.

The whistle sounded.

Gerrard runs up and shoots.

The shot is powerful.

The football flew up suddenly.

There was almost a flash of white light, and the football bypassed the human wall and flew directly to the upper left corner of the goal.

For this shot, Aston Villa's old American goalkeeper Friedel has tried his best to save it, but he still can't touch the football with his best efforts, the ball is too fast!

With Friedel in the air, he can only watch as the ball travels at high speed and flies straight into the top corner of the goal.

Aston Villa players stare wide-eyed at the football in the net.

Liverpool people have begun to celebrate wildly.

In the stands of Anfield Stadium, there was a sudden burst of crazy sound.

"Fuck me!" Fang Jue cursed from below.

Benitez raised his arms excitedly. He accepted the congratulations from his assistants, then walked to the sidelines to applaud, and then returned to the coach's bench, bowing his head and quickly recording something in his notebook.

...

"Goooooooooooooooaaaaaal!"

"Steven Gerrard! WOWOWO, wonderful free kick, one to one, Liverpool equalized the score."

"In the case of being unable to attack for a long time, the captain of Liverpool took advantage of a set kick to equalize the score. This is Steven Gerrard, the captain of Liverpool!"

"One-on-one, Fang Jue was punished for his conservative tactics, which were too conservative after a fantastic start."

After Fang Jue swears unhappily, he shouted at the players, and he called Petrov over to teach him the opportunity.

Fang Jue's tactics are very straightforward, continue to defend, the ball has already been lost, don't worry about it, don't think about it.

The goal now is not to concede more goals and to keep the 1-1 half-time score.

To be honest, Fang Jue was angry when he was equalized by Liverpool, but he was not as frustrated as the commentator imagined.

Ending the first half 1-0 is the best result.

However, one to one is not unacceptable.

It is impossible for Liverpool to accept the result of being tied by Aston Villa at home. It is 1-1 at halftime, and Liverpool will inevitably attack desperately in the second half of the game.

One to zero and one to one have similar effects.

Of course, Fang Jue still prefers one to zero.

In the end, in the remaining few minutes of the game, Liverpool hoped to make persistent efforts and take advantage of the momentum to score another goal to overtake the score.

However, Aston Villa's defense was very successful. Despite some embarrassment, they finally managed to defend the 1-1 draw.

The camera captured that when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Aston Villa coach breathed a sigh of relief and even smiled.

This was immediately caught by Tony Parker, who attacked Fang Jue:

‘No confidence and aggressiveness to win. '

"Young man terrified by Liverpool."

'

"I look down on this guy." - He said, "I didn't mean to target Coach Fang Jue, but in today's game, he doesn't deserve my respect."
