Chapter 35: This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (Third update, please vote for me)
Until the end of the first half, Liverpool was unable to score another goal, and the score remained at 1:0. This score may allow Liverpool to win, but no Liverpool player will be satisfied with this.
Although Martin O'Neill didn't know what the players were thinking, he knew where the problem lay - the players were too anxious.
It's not good to be too eager to score goals.
In fact, given Liverpool's strength, there is no suspense in beating Aston Villa at their home court.
But it's because the players are too anxious and always want to score goals, but they don't know how to play football. His tactics are too simple and crude. You must know that Liverpool's tactics are not "simple and crude", but "concise and efficient".
The literal meaning is different, but the actual effect is even worse.
During the halftime break, he constantly reminded the players to stay calm, not to rush to shoot, but to operate the midfield.
But it doesn't have much effect.
Liverpool players are thinking, I beat you Manchester United last season, but this season has only started three rounds, and you are like the sky is turning upside down? How can that work!
So everyone only had hatred. After the start of the second half of the game, everything was business as usual. Obviously, O'Neal's words went in one ear and out the other...
The situation did not improve and no goals were scored.
Martin O'Neal looked anxious off the court. At this time, it was useless to yell on the sidelines. He had to make decisive substitutions to make timely adjustments!
※ ※ ※
From the beginning of the second half of the game, Gotze and several teammates were rushed to the warm-up area to warm up.
This does not mean that they will get a chance to play, it is just a precaution-if there is an injury on the field, or the head coach suddenly thinks of a substitution, he can substitute it immediately without having to Give you a few more minutes to warm up. In these few minutes, if the team is allowed to play more with less, they may lose the ball.
At this time, he saw assistant coach Sammy Lee running over from the coaching bench.
He ran straight in front of him.
"Go back, Mario. Get ready!"
Gotze was stunned for a moment. The second half had only started for less than ten minutes!
He thought that if he was going to play, it would have to be in the last ten or twenty minutes.
Who would have thought that it would be his turn to appear so soon.
But he was just stunned for a moment. He nodded to Sammy Lee and followed him back to the coaching bench.
When Martin O'Neill saw Gotze, he hooked his hand and motioned for him to run in front of him.
Gotze ran up to him. He tried his best to speak slow English and explained his mission to Gotze in a concise and concise manner.
"Organize the attack and get the midfield working again. Use your dribbling and distribution to disrupt the opponent's defense!"
Gotze nodded and replied simply in English: "I understand, boss."
※ ※ ※
When Martin O'Neill was coaching Gotze on the sidelines, the TV broadcast also noticed him. It immediately cuts to a shot in front of the Liverpool bench.
In the footage, Gotze has returned to the bench. He took off his vest, inserted the shin guards into his socks, tied them carefully, then got up and ran to the fourth official.
"It seems that Gotze is finally going to play! When the team's midfield is out of control, it is a good idea to replace Gotze. But his state..."
"If Gotze's condition is good, he can easily control the midfield. But if his condition is not good, it will be another result..."
Commentators are still questioning Gotze's status.
The reporters in the media gallery felt that Martin O'Neill was confused.
They talked a lot.
"This is definitely a stupid move! He thought that by replacing Gotze, the midfielder can operate freely? But if Gotze does not perform well, wouldn't this substitution be wasted? If it is just a waste of one substitution That's fine, but if Liverpool's offense becomes blocked because Gotze stays on the court, who will bear the responsibility?"
"Putting the block on Gotze? This is not a wise approach..."
"Did O'Neal do this deliberately to dispel our doubts and make us think that he and Gotze have no problems?"
"Well, Liverpool decided to strengthen their defense when they were leading 1:0, and they brought on Gotze..."
※ ※ ※
The reporters complained to their heart's content.
Gotze off the court is ready to play.
What he replaced was...midfielder Yinle!
"It's really crazy!" After seeing this scene, the reporters in the media box shook their heads, feeling that Martin O'Neal was hopeless. Aston Villa will definitely benefit from this substitution!
Of course they know why Martin O'Neill made such a substitution. Because Aston Villa did not show any offensive power, Martin O'Neill thought that he could stop defending and attack with all his strength, but this was a big mistake!
Because his opponent is not a wooden person!
Seeing that he removed Inle, this fierce defensive midfielder, could Aston Villa have no idea?
Originally, in the away game, we would definitely win if we lose less. Now it seems that the opponent is going to press forward with all his strength, wouldn't there be a huge space behind him?
If this sneak attack is successful, wouldn't it be an equalizer? Zero points turned into one point? If the opponent becomes disorganized because of this lost ball and presses forward more violently, then Aston Villa can comfortably launch a defensive counterattack. By then, I am afraid that one point will not satisfy Aston Villa... …
※ ※ ※
The reporters’ thoughts at this time were those of Aston Villa head coach Alex McLeish.
The two sides have the same idea because this is indeed an obvious situation. What every fan knows, how could he, McLeish, not see it?
If you replace Inle, then I will sneak attack on your backcourt!
Alex McLeish, who succeeded Martin O'Neill as the team's head coach, suddenly came up with an idea - if he could beat Liverpool, wouldn't defeating Martin O'Neill greatly increase his reputation?
You can do this!
McLeish stared at the pitch and began to think about which route his team should take to counterattack...
As for Gotze who was substituted? This kid is not used to English football, and he was ordered to do so under such circumstances. He is under a lot of pressure, so he should not be a threat.
※ ※ ※
After Gotze high-fived Inle, he ran onto the court. He directly found Chen Yingxiong and told Chen Yingxiong the coach's tactical intentions with words and gestures.
"You go to the front and stay at the front. You don't have to retreat frequently."
"Is there anything you want me to say to others?" Chen Yingxiong asked.
"Tell Luis to stop thinking about shooting and use breakthroughs with me to disrupt the opponent's defense. This is what the boss said."
Chen Yingxiong nodded: "No problem, I'll tell him. Is there anything else?"
Gotze shook his head: "No more."
Chen Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job, Mario. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Gotze was stunned for a moment, and then he realized why Chen Yingxiong said that the opportunity was once in a lifetime.
Because the team is in a dilemma now, and the dilemma happens to be in the midfield. If he can lead the team out of the dilemma, wouldn't he be able to prove that his status and ability are no problem?
This is indeed a good opportunity.
Seeing that he understood, Chen Yingxiong smiled at him, then turned and ran away. He wanted to inform Suarez.
※ ※ ※
How many people would have thought that Gotze took this as his opportunity? The reporters in the media box were criticizing and ridiculing Martin O'Neill for losing his mind. The Aston Villa people were thinking about how to use the space after Inler came off the field. The Liverpool fans were also worried that the team would not be able to attack for a long time. We are only leading by one goal. If the opponent seizes the opportunity to score a goal and equalize the score, wouldn't it be the end?
Under such circumstances, Gotze began a game that changed his destiny... ah, no, it was half a game.
※ ※ ※
No matter what, Gotze is still the object of everyone's attention, so when the football is passed to his feet, the commentator has to say a few more words.
"Ah, Gotze has the ball! This is his first time touching the ball in this game. This German genius player transferred from Dortmund this summer and is worth 2,300 euros plus a Shaheen... But However, he has not shown his ability. So far, he has only played half of the Community Shield game. Three rounds of the league have started, and he has not played a minute in the first two rounds. There have always been rumors that Martin O'Neal is against Gotze has lost patience and plans to sell him, and his agent is also actively looking for a home for Gotze. Of course, there is no need to worry about a super talent like Gotze that no one will want him, but his experience in Liverpool If unsuccessful, it will inevitably affect his future development..."
Before the commentator, Rory Basuo, could finish his words, he saw Gotze holding the ball suddenly start on the spot, using a very covert shaking of his ankle to grab the ball from his Aston Villa player. He moved past him, twisted his body, and almost completed the dodge and breakthrough actions against the opponent!
His words stopped abruptly.
When Chen Yingxiong saw Gotze's breakthrough in the frontcourt, he clenched his fists - this was the Mario Gotze in training!
He immediately moved to pick up the ball, looking for an opening.
※ ※ ※
Old Hutson's scream started again: "Mario Gotze - a beautiful breakthrough! His starting speed is so fast!"
As he shouted, Gotze bypassed the Aston Villa players who were guarding him, regained the ball, and carried it forward with a steady rhythm.
He just dribbled the ball towards Aston Villa's defense, and Aston Villa's defenders knocked Chen Yingxiong and Suarez to the ground in an instant, with eyes and The only thing in his mind is Gotze with the ball.
Whoever has the ball is the biggest threat. In line with this principle, Aston Villa's defenders rushed towards Gotze.
Being able to make so many defenders instantly regard him as the most threatening enemy, this is the "Super Mario" who is the core of Dortmund's offense!
