Chapter 1204 This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity (seeking a monthly ticket in the third update)
Until the end of the first half, Liverpool failed 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 was—the players were too anxious.

Too eager to score is not good.

In fact, in terms of Liverpool's strength, there is no suspense about defeating Aston Villa at their own home court.

But it is because the players are too anxious and always want to score goals, but they can't play football. His tactics are too simple and rude. You must know that Liverpool's tactics are not "simple and rude", but "simple and efficient".

The literal meaning is different, but the actual effect is even worse.

During the intermission, he kept reminding the players to be calm, not to rush to shoot, and to run the midfield.

But it doesn't do much.

The Liverpool players thought to themselves that I beat you Manchester United last season, and this season has only started three rounds.How can that work!
So there was only hatred, and everything went on as usual after the start of the second half. Obviously, O'Neill's words went in one ear and out the other...

Things didn't improve and goals didn't happen.

Martin O'Neill watched anxiously off the court. At such a time, it is useless to yell on the sidelines. He must 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 for warm-up.

This does not mean that they will get a chance to play, this is just in case of a performance-if there is an injury situation on the field, or the head coach suddenly thinks of a substitution, they can be replaced immediately instead of Give you a few more minutes to warm up.In these few minutes, if the team is allowed to play more with less, it may lose the ball.

At this moment, he saw assistant coach Sammy Lee running over from the coach's bench.

He ran straight to himself.

"Go back, Mario. Get ready to play!"

Gotze was stunned for a moment, the second half had only started in less than 10 minutes!
He thought that if he wanted 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 play so soon.

But he was just stunned for a moment, he nodded at Sammy Lee, and followed him back to the coach's bench.

When Martin O'Neill saw Gotze, he hooked his hands at him, beckoning him to run in front of him.

Gotze ran up to him, and he tried to use very slow English to explain his mission to Gotze succinctly.

"Organize the attack and get the midfield working again. Use your dribbling and distribution to disrupt the opposition's defense!"

Gotze nodded, and replied in English very simply: "I understand, boss."

※ ※ ※

When Martin O'Neill gave Gotze face-to-face instructions on the sidelines, the TV broadcast also noticed him.Immediately cut to a shot in front of the Liverpool bench.

In the camera, Gotze has returned to the bench, he took off his vest, inserted the shin pads into the socks, tied them carefully, and then got up and ran to the fourth official.

"It seems that Gotze is finally going to play! It is a good idea to replace Gotze when the team's midfield is out of control. But his state..."

"If Gotze is in good shape, he can easily control the midfield. But if his state is not good, it will be another result..."

The commentators are still questioning the state of Gotze.

The reporters in the media seats felt that Martin O'Neill was in a daze.

They talked a lot.

"This is definitely a stupid trick! He thought that by replacing Gotze, the midfielder could run freely? But in case Gotze's performance is not good, wouldn't this substitution be a waste? If only one substitution was wasted That's fine, but if Liverpool's attack becomes unsmooth because Gotze stays on the pitch, who will take the responsibility?"

"Put the plug on Gotze? This is not a wise approach..."

"Did O'Neill do this on purpose to reassure us and make us think that he and Gotze have no problems?"

"Well, Liverpool decided to defend 1-0 up and they put on Mario Götze..."

※ ※ ※

Reporters rant.

Off the court, Gotze is ready to play.

What he replaced was... the midfielder Yinle!
"It's crazy!" The reporters in the media seat shook their heads after seeing this scene, thinking that Martin O'Neill was hopeless.Aston Villa will definitely benefit from this substitution!

Of course they knew why Martin O'Neill made such a substitution.Because Aston Villa didn't show any attack power, Martin O'Neill thought he could attack without defense, but this was a big mistake!
Because his opponent is not a wooden man!

Seeing that he has withdrawn Inle, this fierce defensive midfielder, can Aston Villa have no idea?

Originally, in the away game, it must be a win when you lose less.Now that the opponent is going to press with all his strength, isn't there a lot of space behind him?

If this sneak attack succeeds once, wouldn't it be an equalizer?Zero points turned into one points?If the opponent is thrown into chaos because of this conceded goal and presses up more violently, then Aston Villa can comfortably play a defensive counterattack. At that time, I am afraid that Aston Villa will not be satisfied with one point... …

※ ※ ※

The thoughts of the reporters at this time are the thoughts of Aston Villa coach Alex McLeish.

The ideas of the two sides coincided with each other because this was indeed the obvious situation.How could McLeish not see something that fans know?

You replace Yinle, then I'll attack your backcourt!
Alex McLeish, who succeeded Martin O'Neill as the head coach of the team, suddenly had an idea - if he could beat Liverpool, then defeating Martin O'Neill would greatly increase his prestige?

This thing can be done!
McLeish stared at the field, thinking about which route to send the team to counterattack...

As for Gotze who was replaced?This kid is not used to English football, and under such circumstances, he is under a lot of pressure and should not be a threat.

※ ※ ※

After Goetze and Inle high-fived, he ran onto the court, and he went directly to Chen Yingxiong, and told Chen Yingxiong the head coach's tactical intentions with words and gestures.

"You go to the front, stand at the forefront, and don't have to retreat frequently."

"Is there anything you want me to tell others?" Chen Yingxiong asked.

"Let Luiz not always think about shooting, and use breakthroughs with me to disrupt the opponent's defense. This is the boss's words."

Chen Yingxiong nodded: "No problem, I'll tell him. Are there any more?"

Gotze shook his head: "No more."

Chen Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder: "Do it well, Mario. This opportunity is once in a lifetime!"

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 predicament now, and the predicament happens to be in the midfield, if he can lead the team out of the predicament, wouldn't it be able to prove that his state and ability are all right?
This is indeed a good opportunity.

Seeing that he understood, Chen Yingxiong smiled at him, then turned and ran away. He still had to inform Suarez.

※ ※ ※

How many people would have thought that Gotze took this as his opportunity?The reporters in the media seats were criticizing and mocking Martin O'Neill for losing his head, the Aston Villa people were thinking about how to use the vacancy after Inle left the field, and the Liverpool fans were also worried that the team would not be able to attack for a long time. With only one goal ahead, if the opponent seizes the opportunity to score a goal and tie the score, wouldn't that be the end of the game?

Under such circumstances, Gotze started a game that changed his destiny... Ah no, it was a half-time game.

※ ※ ※

In any case, 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 got the ball! This is the first time he has touched the ball in this game. This talented German player was transferred from Dortmund this summer. He is worth 1 euros plus a Shaheen...but However, he has not shown his ability. So far, he has only played half a game in the Community Shield. The league has started three rounds, and he did not get a minute of playing time in the first two rounds. There have always been rumors that Martin O'Neill is against Gotze lost his patience and planned to sell him, and his agent is also actively looking for a home for Gotze. Of course, a super talent like Gotze does not need to worry that no one wants him, but his experience in Liverpool If it is not successful, it will definitely affect his future development..."

The commentator Rory hadn't finished his wordy words when he saw Goetze, who was holding the ball, suddenly start on the spot, and with a very subtle movement of shaking his ankle, the Aston Villa player who robbed the football from him He moved over to his side and twisted his body, almost clinging to the opponent to complete the dodge and breakthrough!
His words came to an abrupt end.

Chen Yingxiong clenched his fists when he saw Gotze's breakthrough in the frontcourt—this is the Mario Gotze in training!

He immediately ran to meet him, looking for an empty space.

※ ※ ※

The old Hutson screamed again: "Mario Gotze - beautiful breakthrough! His starting speed on the spot is so fast!"

While he was shouting, Gotze bypassed the Aston Villa players who defended him, regained the football, and led it forward steadily.

He just dribbled the ball towards Aston Villa's defense, and the defenders of Aston Villa threw Chen Yingxiong and Suarez to the Java State in an instant, eyes and eyes. Gotze with the ball on his mind.

Whoever gets the ball is the greatest threat. In line with this principle, Aston Villa's defenders rushed towards Gotze.

It is the "Super Mario" who is the core of Dortmund's offense that can make so many defenders regard him as the most threatening enemy in an instant!
