super sharp

Chapter 163 This magic has no support

After the goal, Jovetic was so excited that he was about to go crazy. He showed two rows of white teeth and frantically ran to the sideline camera to celebrate the goal.

This ball is very important to him, because on the one hand, he is negotiating with the team on the renewal of his contract recently.

On the other hand, scoring a goal against Liverpool with Gerrard and Torres, or in a game that attracts worldwide attention like the Champions League, is extremely important to his self-confidence.

Moreover, Jovetic's popularity in the team can be said to be super good. The simple smile he often hangs on his face and his heartless playfulness make people very comfortable when getting along with him.

Therefore, the teammates deliberately slowed down the pace of preparing to celebrate together, leaving him more opportunities to get applause and shots.

Prandelli was even more excited and almost rushed into the stadium to celebrate with the players!
Not to mention the ecstasy of Fiorentina, from the head coach to the players, the entire Liverpool team on the other side was silent for a while.

Especially Benitez, known as the King of the Cup, frowned and looked at the Fiorentina players who were celebrating in front of him, and then glanced at the ecstatic opposing coach not far from him.

Although he conceded a goal, he did not fall into depression. If the team can play smoothly, tying a goal is not a big problem.

So he is mainly thinking about tactical issues.

In this game, Fiorentina and Liverpool have almost the same lineup, even the composition of personnel is similar.

Torres VS Mu Jianfeng

Behind them is also an attacking midfielder, Jovetic VS Gerrard.

The other four midfielders cooperated and two wingers broke through.

Judging from the strength on paper, the combination of Torres and Gerrard is definitely stronger than the combination of Mu Jianfeng and Jovetic.

But specifically for this game, the frequent changes of positions between Mu Jianfeng and Jovetic caused the targeted deployment before the game to completely become a burden on the defense.

In this regard, Gerrard, who is incapable of being a striker, is not as good as Jovetic, who has the ability to break through. As a result, Torres is regarded as deadly, and he can only rely on Gerrard's long-range shots to threaten the opponent's goal.

If this continues, there will inevitably be defensive problems to give Fiorentina a chance.

This made him suddenly miss Agger and Mascherano, who were absent due to injuries. With these two people on the court, there would be no such obvious loopholes in his defensive tactics.

Thinking of this, Benitez withdrew his thoughts, and before the game started, he called out to his two defenders, and then made a strange gesture.

Skrtel and Carragher nodded after seeing this gesture. They naturally knew the coach's tactical arrangement. This was to tell them that the man-marking tactics were canceled and replaced by zone defense to keep the defensive formation intact.

Seeing that his two guards understood what he meant, Benitez sat back in his seat and continued to study the next tactical arrangement with his assistant.

……

When the game started again, Mu Jianfeng keenly noticed the tactical adjustments in Liverpool's defense.

He found that neither the opponent's No. 23 player (Carragher) nor No. 37 player (Skrtel) was following his running, but was firmly defending in his own area.

This made a lot of his running and tearing useless, and after Jovetic entered the penalty area with him, he had no choice but to return several times without any space.

Mu Jianfeng also tried to run into the penalty area to try to get a chance to finish the shot, but in any case, there was an awkward feeling, which made him completely lost his focus when shooting, and two consecutive shots missed the goal.

When both of the team's attackers misfired, Fiorentina began to try to threaten the opponent's players from the periphery with long shots.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Vargas received a long pass from Zanetti at the front of the penalty area. After a simple adjustment, he took a long shot.

This shot was so powerful that Reina made a very embarrassing save and barely destroyed the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to launch a wave of counterattacks. Benayoun dribbled the ball in from the side.

Immediately afterwards, he knocked the ball behind him and passed the ball to the feet of Glenn Johnson who was inserted in the back row.

Glenn Johnson raised his eyes and glanced at Captain Gerrard who was asking for it in the middle, and then quickly passed the ball.

At this time, Torres was tightly guarded by Fiorentina captain Dainelli in the penalty area, and he had no chance to get the football.

Seeing that Gerrard barely completed a long shot against the incoming ball, the ball had neither strength nor angle nor suddenness, so Frey took it off without any doubt.

But it is worth mentioning that this long shot is the only shot Liverpool has hit so far.

Frey, who took off the ball, threw the ball out, and Florence took advantage of the opportunity to start his own counterattack.

Zanetti retreated to the front of his penalty area and received a pass from Frey, turned around and grabbed the ball before Liverpool player Lucas stepped forward to press, and distributed the ball to Marchionne on the wing.

At this time, Liverpool's players were running towards their own half quickly, and there was a large gap in front of Marchionne!
So Marchionne simply glanced over his head, kicked the ball out and strode forward towards the baseline.

At this time, Marchionne was only defended by the teenager Insua in 89. At this time, he seemed a little nervous, leaning sideways to defend Marchionne.

But Marchionne has rich experience and found the nervousness of the teenager, so he dribbled the ball and resolutely broke through to Insua!

Just when Insua was nervously staring at the ball under Marchionne's feet, he didn't expect that Marchionne suddenly knocked the ball at the foot of Montorivo in the middle!
Just as Insua followed the ball and looked towards the middle, Marchionne ran past him quickly.

At this moment, Montolivo passed the ball to the baseline again!
Seeing this, the young general Yinsuya turned around quickly in shock, but he could only watch Marchionne complete a cross!
The ball drew a beautiful arc and flew straight to the penalty area!

The speed of this cross was so fast that Mu Jianfeng had very little time to adjust.

But Liverpool's two defenders are tall, tough defensive style guys who are also very experienced.

So the two made a clear division of labor. Carragher stared directly at Mu Jianfeng, wrapped his arms around Mu Jianfeng's waist, and at the same time put his shoulders on his body and tilted his center of gravity to exert pressure on Mu Jianfeng.

As a result, when Mu Jianfeng broke free from Carragher's defense, the ball flew over his head and flew directly towards Skrtel's defense zone.

But Mu Jianfeng did not give up, but chased after Skrtel quickly. Once the opponent controlled the ball under his feet, he would immediately throw himself into the counterattack!

"Dangerous! Destroy it!"

After being freed by Mu Jianfeng, Carragher subconsciously yelled at Skrtel.

This shout startled Skrtel, who was already a little nervous, and he also noticed the figure approaching quickly.

So in a hurry, he could only choose to push the ball out with his head, but because the ball was too hasty, the power to push it out was not strong.

And by coincidence, he came to the foot of Vargas in front of the penalty area!

Vargas was slightly taken aback after taking the ball, obviously he didn't expect the opponent to push the ball to his feet.

But immediately after, he faced the goal and completed a low-level pass that seemed to be passed and shot!
The ball was touched by Dirk, who came to help defend, but it made the ball speed up a lot in vain!
At this moment, Mu Jianfeng just appeared on the trajectory of the ball, and he saw the ball flying towards his feet!

At this moment, he felt something touched the instep, which made him subconsciously "hook" it with the instep.

At the same time, his body's center of gravity rotated clockwise towards the goal, and then he suddenly exerted force on his ankle, and threw the thing on his foot towards the goal!

Under the watchful eyes of the fans and the surprised eyes of the Liverpool defenders, Mu Jianfeng completed a shot with a juggling movement!
And, with a "swish", the ball rolled into the goal!
To this, Reina did not react at all, and even his body was still in the completely opposite direction to prepare for the save.

It's just direct instinct that makes his head look hard to the side of himself, even though he can't see the ball anymore, he is sure that he sees the ball flying past the goal line...

"Yeah! Yeh! Yeh..."

After a brief absence, just after the number on the scoreboard changed to 2-0, cheers erupted in Frankie Stadium!

Fiorentina unexpectedly led the group's top seed Liverpool with a score of [-]-[-] in the first half!

And it was their hot newcomer Wang Mu Jianfeng who scored the second goal this season!
