my team is going to attack

Chapter 56 Anfield (three requests for courtesy)
"This is Anfield!"

Su Bai raised his head and glanced at this famous sentence in Europe. In the 90s and [-]s, this place represented the highest level of English football and the most glorious period.

When Liverpool won the Champions League for two consecutive years, Su Bai was not born yet.

Today, he will lead his team to challenge the former king, the sleeping lion.

There were not many fans at the scene, maybe about 4, and Anfield was not filled. Liverpool's performance has been poor in recent years, and correspondingly, there are not as many fans as in its heyday.

"Hello, Sue."

Holding Benitez's hand, looking at the head coach who has coached Liverpool for many years, Su Bai saw a lot of gray hair on his head, and his face was a little tired. Benitez has been under a lot of pressure recently.

"Hello, Raphael."

The two were not very familiar with each other, and both of them shook hands politely, and returned to the command seats.

Today's chief referee, Da Dao, checked his watch, and it was still a little short of time. He confirmed the time with the line referee and the fourth official on the sidelines. The weather was fine and sunny.

Except for Torres, who was unable to play due to injury, Liverpool's other main players have come out today, and the goalkeeper is Reina.

On the back line, Insua, Skrtel, Carragher and Agger are lined up. Except for Skrtel and Carragher, the other two Su Bai are not familiar with. It can also be seen from this that this season Liverpool's dilemma.

In the midfield, the captain Gerrard and Didier, Aquilani and Lucas, without Alonso and Mascherano, Benitez can only use Lucas and Aquilani , How can such a combination be compared with the original, Liverpool's midfield is now supported by Gerrard and Dirk.

Gerrard is more defensive, and Dirk is more offensive. Liverpool's lineup is really bad now.

The strikers are Ngogo and Babel, Torres is injured, and Ngogo, who faced Manchester United's attack in the last game, has high hopes.

Su Bai's starting lineup is still the same as before, and the goalkeeper is Hart;

Marcelo, Kompany, Cahill and Maicon at the back;
Midfielders Mascherano, Wright Jr. and David Silva;
Royce, Lewandowski and Bell in the frontcourt.

Robben was also included in the squad today, but Su Bai didn't let him start and chose Royce. Lewandowski is already in good health, and Negredo can only return to the bench.

Su Bai's entire forward line, that is, Bell's attendance rate is relatively high, and Su Bai has begun to ask him to make less long-distance raids on the field.

As Bell's strongest weapon, does Su Bai want to seal him up?No, Su Bai just hoped that Bell could use this ability as a trump card instead of a conventional weapon.

Why did Kaka fall so quickly? In addition to various reasons, he likes to play football for long distances is also a very important factor. This action is too heavy on the body.

It's like Ronaldo's pendulum-style extraordinary, with high efficiency and excitement, but it also has high physical requirements for players.

Players are also very aggressive in defending this way of dribbling, and the possibility of injury is high.

In Su Bai's view, the reason why Bell in his previous life could not keep up with Ronaldo and Messi was that he was always injured in Real Madrid and also limited Bell's performance.

Now, Su Bai hopes that Bell can fully display his abilities, so a good body is the prerequisite.

The intensity of this round of competition was beyond Su Bai's expectation.

As soon as Dodd blew the whistle to start the game, Ngogo rushed towards Wright who was catching the ball. When the latter passed the ball, he did not stop himself and knocked Wright over. land.

Little Wright was not a timid person either. He could clearly see that the other party was coming towards him, so he got up and wanted to push Ngogo up.

The two sprayed their heads.

Daode felt very angry, but he didn't play any cards at the beginning of the game. He just separated the two and warned them severely, "One more time, you will end up with me."

Manchester City kicked off again, David Silva kicked from outside the penalty area, but it was too far and not strong enough, Reina easily took it.

Liverpool did not hesitate either. In the 5th minute, Gerrard took a free kick from the right, Agger headed the ball, and Skrtel headed the goal above the heads of the crowd.

Hart flew and shot the ball with one palm.

Liverpool, who played at home, also played wildly. They strangled with Manchester City in the midfield. Under the leadership of Gerrard, Liverpool began to press in the midfield, looking like they were dying.

As soon as Cahill received the ball, Babel shoveled over, and before he could stabilize the ball, he passed it to Maicon next to him, but as soon as Maicon received the ball, Gerrard came up, using both hands and feet, making Maicon Kong couldn't hold the ball.

It was passed out to find Lewandowski, but the pass was missed under Gerrard's interference. After intercepting the ball, Lucas rushed to the edge of the penalty area and kicked it. Instead of lowering it, he went to the Liverpool stands.

Even if the ball was stopped, Liverpool's frontcourt players did not retreat to the half court, but stood in various positions in the frontcourt. It seems that this posture is to wait for the ball to come out and they will go up and grab it.

Hart saw that the opponent was in his own half, and he didn't hand it over to his teammate in the backcourt. Instead, he kicked the ball across the half with his big foot. Bell rushed the ball to Royce in front of Dirk, but the latter didn't catch the ball. , because Aquilani and Carragher surrounded Royce in an instant.

"Come on, don't stop." "Come on!" "Come on!" Gan him-damn! "——
Amidst the cheers of the fans now, Liverpool's players suppressed Manchester City's counterattack as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

What is he trying to do?
Su Bai frowned, did he play so impulsively at the beginning?

But the sky will not spare Liverpool, their bad luck is coming.

In the 11th minute, when Agger and Cahill were scrambling for a high-altitude ball, Cahill broke his brow bone. The Danish defender bled profusely. Substitution.

Agger couldn't play anymore.

There is only one defender Kirjakos left on Benitez's bench, and he has no choice but to let him warm up in a hurry and replace Agger.

In the 14th minute, Babel took a long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area, and Maicon blocked it with his body, but Babel sprained his ankle after the shot and went to the sidelines for treatment.

Manchester City took advantage of one more man to bring back the situation in the midfield, Mascherano made a long pass, Lewandowski headed the ball to Royce on the wing, the latter volleyed the ball, Reina concentrated, single Hand save the ball.

Then Carragher drew a foul while defending Silva. Daode showed the first yellow card of the game. In the 18th minute, Manchester City got another chance. Marcelo crossed and Mascherano was unguarded on the edge of the penalty area. He shot vigorously, but it was a little high.

Babel, who was treated for more than 3 minutes, gave up and Benayoun came off the bench.

Less than 20 minutes into the game, Benitez was forced to use up two substitutions. The fans on the sidelines felt sad. Is the team going to be slaughtered by Manchester City today?
