Green Life

Mubarak left the podium at half-time and never came back. The team's performance this season is not even as good as Chelsea's first year.

He had studied Chelsea's rise in depth before the summer, buying second-tier stars and achieving results. This is the only way to go, so he has no scene requirements for Mark Hughes.

He considers himself to be a rather enlightened chairman, he did not completely abandon the rules of football, and gave the team a lot of freedom, but according to this posture, they will be ranked outside the tenth place this season.

Before Abu Dhabi settled in last year, they were ranked sixth. I really don't know what to do with spending so much money!

"Hey rich guys, you can't buy a European golden boy"

"Hey, rich man, you can't buy a Red Prince"

"Hey rich guys, you can't buy a win"

In the stands during the halftime break, the Red Army fans even made up a song improvised. The simple tune and lyrics quickly spread, and there was a lot of response.

They treat the team as warm as family, but they are merciless towards the enemy!

"I have to say that you performed very well in the first half, but this is the Etihad, so there should be no slack in the second half," Sami Lee said happily in the locker room.

What caught his eye the most in the first half was the stability of the team. The team was like a sword in the left hand and a shield in the right.

Every move was smooth and steady, hardly giving Manchester City any chance to shoot, and he took the time to counterattack two swords, which was bloody.

Left-back Enrique is only 22 years old, and he is already one of the best left-backs in the Premier League. Nicknamed "Bull", he supports Liverpool's left side alone.

Finnan is already on the last year of his contract this year, and he will be 33 after this season. In the summer, he did not renew his contract with the club. Instead, he decided to transfer freely at the end of the season just like Hyypia.

Agger, Skrtel, Cahill, Mascherano, Lieira, and Torres are all around 25, and they are paired with veterans around the age of 30 like Gerrard, Dirk, and Carragher.

It was the peak age of the team, and it was a pity for Sami Lee when the results were achieved. If it weren't for the club's messy things, they might be able to create a dynasty.

"Our rhythm was well controlled in the first half, and we can play a little slower in the second half. Be patient, but don't be careless," Sami Lee continued.

The atmosphere in the locker room was relaxed, and the players chatted while listening to Sami Lee's arrangement.

It is mainly to discuss the experience of the first half. After the style change, the cooperation of each small group and the timing of passing and receiving have to be re-adjusted and adjusted. Feel.

"You disciple is really amazing." After a few words, Sami Li gave the locker room to the team members. He and Xio went outside the locker room to smoke and chat.

"When he was in Kirkby, we all agreed that he was a natural core, but at that time we didn't realize that his goal attack ability was so strong," Hugh said unexpectedly.

Sami Li said while puffing out the smoke: "Rafa forced it out. After I came here, I found that this kid trained very hard and often practiced extra."

"Rafa's employment. To be honest, sometimes I can't understand it. He seizes every opportunity to substitute, which makes Rafa look at him differently."

Xio nodded, "You can leave the midfielder to him with confidence. He has been under my management for two years and has never let me down. Sometimes I can't even guess his train of thought."

Sami Li stubbed out his cigarette butt, and decided to call these captains in the tactical meeting in the future. He is not good at training and attacking, how to play and how to cooperate, and let them play more by themselves.

So sometimes a good coach does not necessarily have thoughtful and specific arrangements, is comprehensive, knows how to use his talents, and maybe players can bring you success.

After four years of training by Benitez, this team has matured in many aspects. In fact, their current situation is the same as Chelsea after Mourinho left.

As long as the locker room is stable, with some fine-tuning,

The strength is there, and the results are not much worse.

...

"Friends in the audience, we see that the second half of the game is about to start. The players of the two teams have already walked out of the tunnel. In the first half, as a guest, Liverpool led the British upstart Manchester City 2-0. It can be said that it was both unexpected and expected. , Director Zhang, what do you think?" Zhan Jun's voice emerged from the live broadcast screen with background music.

"Hey, yes," Zhang Lu showed a familiar laugh, "Manchester City spent a lot of money, and the offense didn't see any significant improvement, but they lost the defense of Eriksson's time."

"Liverpool's style of play has completely changed today. They played possession in the midfield. This is rarely seen in Liverpool in the past. Especially after Mark Qin's return to the midfield, their midfield is extremely strong. "

"In addition, Gerrard is like a side attacking midfielder, and Dirk's range of activities is also very large. With Manchester City's current midfielder, if they want to recover their disadvantages in the second half, they have to find a way."

Mark Hughes is also worrying about this, but he looked at the bench, and there is no one to replace. There is only one veteran Haman in the orthodox midfielder, but he is already 36, so he asked Kompa during the intermission Ni mentioned the premise to strengthen the pressing of the midfielder.

Now that they are behind by two goals, they must press up, otherwise, with Liverpool's formation today, there is no way to move back.

Mark Qin looked at Manchester City's overall forward-pressing formation, as expected, "pull the two sides apart", he received a pass from Alonso, and instead of going forward to try to get rid of Ireland, he kicked it back to Reina. By the way, he shouted to both sides.

After the pass, he ran back, "Harvey, I'll go back to meet you", when Alonso passed by, he turned his head and said.

"Manchester City stepped up their pressure in the second half. We saw Mark drop back to respond, and Liverpool's backcourt opened up," Peterson said, watching Mark Qin and Mascherano run to the midfielder together.

Mark Qin wants to see if their two central midfielders dare to come up, otherwise their frontcourt pressing is a joke.

Sure enough, only Ireland came up, and it seemed that they also knew that the desperate rush was easy to be counterattacked.

"I seem to see Pirlo," Peterson said sincerely when Mark Qin was hit by Ireland and Ruo's back and forth, turned back with a light push ball, and was caught by Agger, who was pressing forward.

Liverpool deftly poured the ball back and forth in the backcourt. With the protection and support of Mascherano, Mark Qin completely failed the pressing line built by the four players in the frontcourt of Manchester City.

Capello raised his eyes, took out his notebook, and lowered his head to memorize something. Pirlo is a signature figure after Albertini in Italy's midfielder. How could he not be familiar with it.

The reason why Pirlo plays the midfielder so freely has a lot to do with his background as a midfielder with small skills. He thinks that Mark Qin is playing that kind of demeanor today.

England's current organization of Mark Qin has only liberated Lampard and Gerrard in the initial stage, and the entire England team has not yet fully recognized Mark Qin as the core in terms of consciousness and tactics.

However, he has a much stronger sense of forward attack than Pirlo. I didn't expect England to encounter such a character when he was lucky.

Capello now holds the highest salary of the coach of the national team in the world. Entering the World Cup is only a basic job.

As for the qualifiers, if he fails to lead the team, he feels that he can retire directly.

...

The situation throughout the second half has been under the control of the Liverpool team, or Mark Qin. Alonso and Gerrard are in the midfield, so that Manchester City dare not press unscrupulously.

McManaman looked at it for a while and shook his head, "The gap between Manchester City and Chelsea back then is not even a little bit. The offense has no structure, and the defense has no help in defense. It is difficult for them to make a difference this season."

Not to mention that McManaman's vision is quite accurate. Mark Qin remembers that they seemed to be ranked outside the tenth place this season, and they got nothing until Mancini came, and then they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to barely make it. Squeezed into the top four teams.

But that will be three or four years later, so even if they spend more money, Mark Qin will not come here to waste his youth now.

Kompany's defensive midfielder has always been a big problem, that is, he does not have the ability of the defensive midfielder to respond and distribute the ball. Elano must come back, but most of the time the ball is at the feet of the Liverpool players. Elano has no choice but to join the tight end. force.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Liverpool could afford it, but they couldn't afford it.

After being poked away by Agger again, Mark Qin retreated to take the ball. Instead of routinely splitting the ball to both sides, he turned back and gave it to Alonso near the middle circle.

Then he turned around and moved forward quickly. Alonso had a tacit understanding, and with a long oblique pass, he found Liera, who was cruising on the left line. He knew that this time he was going to play a fast attack.

So in many cases, the reason why the cooperation between stars and stars is so powerful is because their thinking is synchronized, and at a certain level, they can exert the effect of one plus one greater than two.

When Liera came to Liverpool, he still failed to correct his faults. The tactics arranged for him to go in as far as possible, but he still liked to move along the sidelines, and he would only go forward when he saw a gap. It was too traditional.

Fortunately, with Enrique, I saw the two red players in the left midfield rush forward like the wind when Liera received the ball and was about to face Sabaletta.

Enrique detoured outside the sideline and ran directly past Liera. Here Ireland followed Mark Qin closely. Pass to the left, Enrique comes up..., he's like a gust of wind"

"Beautiful, Enrique punched Richards, so fast," Peterson yelled.

Of course it was fast, Enrique already had enough time to start up the speed, Richardson was going to turn around while backing up, Enrique went to the bottom line with his instep, and overtook directly.

"Enrique, Enrique, he entered the penalty area, and Dirk Dirk desperately squeezed forward," Peterson's rhythm quickened.

"Enrique passed back, an inverted triangle, he didn't pass to the goal"

Ma Keqin led Ireland into the ribs quickly, without touching the ball at all, and ran directly with Ireland, letting the ball pass behind him.

"Mark, he gave the ball away," Peterson yelled, as he saw Alonso, "Alonso...", he went on.

But Liverpool seemed to be against him on purpose. Alonso scored with both feet and shook Elano behind him. The ball crossed the penalty area and was red and blue. Owner.

"Javier Mascherano...", this time Peterson really shouted, and if he doesn't shoot, he will definitely go to live PK.

There was no one around Mascherano, he even took a step towards the penalty area with a kick, and then he swung his thigh directly, "bang", the ball stuck to the turf, drilled through a thicket of thighs, and appeared with a "swoosh" In front of Joe Hart.

It was right at his feet, only a few feet away from him, but he didn't even have time to reach out, let alone fall to the ground to catch the ball.

"Goal...al...al..., Mascherano, 3:0, Liverpool seal the victory!"

McManaman said with a smile: "It's not easy, even he scored. It seems that Liverpool has completely stepped out of the shadow of consecutive victories..."

In his opinion, the game is over. Manchester City's midfield was completely suppressed today, and they have no chance of pulling back.

"Haha...", Ma Keqin ran to the sidelines and hugged Mascherano in celebration, "Don't wash your feet today, it's too difficult for you to score a goal."

"Ah...", all the Liverpool players raised their arms and shouted to the stands. We said that one day, we will stand up and return to that frightening time.

Liverpool's away team roared the tsunami in the stands, just like celebrating Christmas, Mark Hughes sighed, sat back on the coach's bench, and accepted the result.

"Bang", 100 million blown balloons were completely pierced by Liverpool's three shots in the seventh round, and you could hear the echo of the shattering...

Farewell, 100 million battles, let's go, thank you, 100 million battles.
