[Football] Crown of Thorns

During the half-time break, the atmosphere in the locker room was neither warm nor silent. The old players chatted and listened to the music. Most of the new transfers were not very serious. Some tidied up while others drank water or closed their eyes. Resting his mind, Jia Ma still went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and came out wrapped in a towel.

In the first half, he fought fiercely. He not only wanted to intercept but also considered the cooperation with his teammates. He played very tired not to mention that he was hit by opponents a lot. Compared with the Bundesliga, the Premier League has more strong rushes. Germany No matter how fierce the league fight is, it will not be too rough, because the referee will call a foul if caught, but the Premier League seems to use such roughness as a means, and the referee will not care about these seemingly excessive collisions. Care, basically there will be no penalty.

It's not that there are so many black whistles, it's really because the two leagues have different views on physical collisions.

In the past, it was common to have bruises all over the body after a game. He hadn't seen so many bruises in his first league game before, but today, it was only half of the game, and Gama found that there were many bruises on his body. It's bruised.

It may not be so obvious for people with darker skin, but it is more obvious for people with fair skin.

Even though Gama has been running on the court for many years, his skin is still very fair. Compared with the complexion of his captain who vowed to tan himself into black charcoal, it is simply too white.

Tsk, the dressing room at Anfield is really simple, whether it is owned by the home team or the guests!

Standing in front of the red bench with his own jersey hanging on it, Gama took off the towel and began to put on clothes with his back to his teammates-no wonder his gang of unscrupulous teammates (club and national team) after knowing that he was moving to the Premier League Both) will laugh and laugh at him with a mocking and mysterious tone and tell him "careful ass", "watch out for big JJ" and so on. It doesn’t matter if you can’t block the tall and noble dressing room of the Bernabéu (at least there are cabinet doors that can be opened to block it a little bit), here is a circle of benches, the space under the chairs is for throwing your bags, and the wall above is for hanging. Hook up the jerseys, there's a mirror on the diagonal wall, and... gone.

Oh no, there is that kind of reclining chair for massage in the middle of the locker room, and now it is gone.

At this time, the team doctor was helping Jie Dui rub his legs. This... Gama, who was putting on his ball pants, turned his head and took a look. Jie Dui was in good shape, but although his muscles were strong, he felt a little fleshy. Tsk tsk, but for those rumors, Jia Ma smacked his lips when he already consciously knew that he was also unscrupulous, hehe~

"Shiko!"

Captain Jie, who was lying on the bench, raised his head and called out.

Gama, who walked up to him in two steps, asked while putting on his vest, "What's wrong?"

Team Jie rested his hands on his chin, "How do you feel?"

"Fortunately," Gama thought for a while, "We need to increase our defense in the second half."

Coach Rodgers followed him into the locker room when he exited the field at the end of the first half. He went out after saying a few words. From the current point of view, Rodgers has done a good job in scheduling. I have directed six and a half games, three warm-up matches, three official matches, and today's half-time. I can't say whether it is good or bad-after all, everyone has an adaptation process.

Gama said that he should increase his defense in the second half, which is actually what Rogers said just now.

Manchester City, which was able to win the league championship last season, has not changed many players this year, and the game is not easy to play.

"If there is a free kick in the second half, you can try it."

Team Jie suddenly said this to Gama.

Jia Ma was stunned for a moment, and stopped wiping his hair, "I'll punish you?"

"Well, I watched the video of your previous game. Your free kick is very good. Why don't you try it."

Team Jie said with a smile.

The air in the small locker room seemed to be silent for a second, and then there were all kinds of noises.

Jia Ma lowered his eyes and smiled, "Then try it!"

Every team has its own first free-throw shooter, sometimes designated by the coach and sometimes recommended by the players. There are not many free-kick masters in the Liverpool team. In the past, the Jie team usually took the penalty, and sometimes it was also determined by the team. Players who create chances will punish themselves, and there are not many specially designated players.

Gerrard also has no choice. Now that he has more and more injuries, he often cannot play the game. When the team has this kind of set-piece opportunity, different people will take the penalty. Suarez used to take the penalty often, but in the last game He wasted too many chances in the game and the first half of today's game. Instead of doing this, it's better to let Gama take the penalty. Anyway, Gama has a reputation as a free kick master, so there will be some opportunities anyway.

Naturally, Gama would not be polite.

In the territory of foreigners, there is no such thing as modesty. If you can, you can. Of course, you must seize the opportunity.

No matter where you play, it is good to be able to score goals, especially when newcomers come and work harder. It is also very important to please the fans.

When half-time is up, walk out of the locker room and meet the players of the away team face to face. There is no way, the home and away locker rooms at Anfield Stadium are facing each other on both sides of the aisle.

The players who knew each other greeted each other, and even the staff smiled and shook hands and chatted. Only when they stepped out of the tunnel and stood on the field, the two sides immediately faced each other coldly and entered the fighting mode.

At the beginning of the second half, Gama stole the ball from the midfield and dribbled the ball to the front court and then crossed. As a result, Suarez inserted into the penalty area and stabbed in the middle but missed the shot. The ball missed the left post.

The speechless Jia Ma stared at me and stared at me.

Suarez looked back at Gama, and raised his hand to signal that he was innocent, sorry!

I pooh you black curly hair, I'm sorry, just say what you said to me, what does it mean to turn your head and look at Team Jie immediately?

Gama expressed his outrage.

Then after another successful interception, he directly gave the ball to Borini. As a result, Borini also shot blind.

Jia Ma: ...You guys are fucking playing with me!

The Red Army soldiers suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, as if someone was venting black air.

Team Jie, who saw his teammates suddenly cheered up: This is very good!

So... Balotelli dribbled the ball in the frontcourt and was knocked down by Coates.

Fortunately, the referee ignored Balotelli's falling to the ground, which made him very angry when he was sitting on the ground. After a roll and jump, he rushed towards Coates. Fortunately, his teammates reacted quite quickly. Yatoure held him back so that the incident did not expand further.

At this time, the referee seemed to have noticed the problem just now. He did not play a card but gave Balotelli a verbal warning.

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini gestured from the sidelines to ask his teammates to rein in their emotions.

At this time, Gama is curiously observing the Italian golden boy who is called "Bashen" by many people - oh, the golden boy's face is too dark to see, even if he has a strong temper and strength, Yaya Toure almost failed to hold him, but Nasri helped him.

But his appearance is actually not ugly, but the hairstyle is too strange.

Gama muttered and walked aside, the ball belonged to them, and he was going to ask for it.

After receiving a throw from his teammate, Gama easily passed the Manchester City player who was a little distracted, and passed the ball.

Gerrard received the ball and made a breakthrough, but he was intercepted by the opponent and the ball flew out. Kompany ran over to make a clearance, but his clearance was missed. The ball hit Balotelli and bounced back. On the right side of the penalty area, Suarez who ran over made a direct pass in the air. Unfortunately, this time, no one followed behind the middle of the penalty area, and the ball was hugged by Joe Hart.

Gama squatted on the turf and scratched his head. He thought Borini would follow and didn't go forward, but Borini ran off to the side, leaving the center empty.

At this time, Manchester City made a substitution, and Rodwell replaced Nasri.

In the 61st minute of the second half, Milner of Manchester City responded to his teammate through the pass and then crossed the bottom line of the Red Army penalty area. Balotelli followed up and pushed...

The linesman raised the flag to indicate that Milner was offside first, and the goal was not counted.

Balotelli shook his hand angrily and was dragged away by his teammates again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mancini made another substitution, he replaced Balotelli with Dzeko.

The situation between the two sides continued to be stalemate for a while. Gama failed to make a pass or cooperate after stealing the ball several times due to various reasons. The free kick opportunity mentioned by the Jie team, MD did not say that there was a set kick opportunity before. , After I said this, I didn’t even get a set kick until this point, Team Jie, don’t you really like to trick me! ! !

Gama, who was indignant, suddenly ran over to open the gap. Joe Allen hooked the ball away from the Manchester City player.

What should I do, I really want to beat him up!

Suarez, who didn't seem to be wearing shooting boots in the last few games, scratched his head with a simple smile. Gama's eyes wandered. He doesn't want to see that simple smile at all now, not at all!

Joe Hart kicked the ball to his teammate, Kolo Toure dribbled the ball from the wing and took a few steps before kicking the ball forward.

Carlos Tevez got rid of Sterling after getting the ball from the right, ran all the way down the baseline and made a pass. Reina hit the ball from the front of the goal but failed to touch the ball. Kelly made a mistake in stopping the ball with his thigh. Yaya Toure in the penalty area turned around and volleyed with his left foot, and the ball rushed into the lower right corner of the goal.

1 to 1, Manchester City tied the score.

This is retribution for wasted opportunities.

Gama was shouting inwardly, then swung his paw with great momentum, and gave me the ball.

The kick-off was restarted in the middle circle. Joe Allen gave the ball to Gerrard first, and Gerrard gave the ball to Gama after taking two steps.

After pushing forward with his arm, Jia Ma took the ball and took a few steps forward. Facing the opponent who was about to surround him, Jia Ma swayed his feet and did a continuous pedaling action. out the ball.

Da Gama, who had passed his opponent, passed the ball to Borini. After Borini failed to break through, he had to pass the ball back to Gama.

At this time, Gama, who was already dangling in the opponent's half, hooked the ball at his feet and directly transferred the ball outside the penalty area.

Gerrard rushed over and kicked heavily outside the penalty area. This powerful long shot made Joe Hart a little nervous. He stared at the football and threw himself forward, but the football came and hit Manchester City's new substitute like lightning. No. 17 on Rodwell's arm.

This time, the referee gave Liverpool a free kick directly towards the goal.

At this time, the Red Army coach Rodgers played a substitution card, Enrique replaced Kelly, Enrique served as left back, allowing Glenn Johnson to return to the right.

Because it was agreed during the intermission, Gama stepped forward and prepared to take a free kick directly.

Taking a deep breath, Gama stared at the opponent's wall and served.

Gama's right-footed curve ball just crossed the left post from the outside of the wall and flew directly into the dead corner of the goal. Although Joe Hart tried his best to throw his body across the goal, there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly. Flying the football into the net.

In the 70th minute of the second half, Gama scored directly from a free kick, 2-1, and Liverpool took the lead again.
