Green Life

"Just one thing for you guys, I haven't won a title in my life as a manager," Sammy Lee told the Liverpool generals in the luxurious dressing room of the new Wembley.

Everyone looked up at him, not thinking that he was joking, nor did they laugh at him, but felt a warm current in their hearts.

This coach used to be conscientious in the position of assistant coach and has a good relationship with everyone. This season he put out fires and stabilized Liverpool's dressing room. Before many games, he would say: "My coaching level limited, you need to rely on yourself on the court.”

Ever since he became the head coach of Bolton, he has always thought that he is not suitable to be a head coach, especially the head coach of a wealthy family, because he lacks on-the-spot response and doesn't have many offensive ideas. He only trains defense. He is a very serious coach. .

This season, most of the time, he has followed the offensive routines of the Benitez era, with the cooperation of the trident in the frontcourt and the control of the scene by the dual cores in the midfield.

His biggest advantage is that he has a very objective understanding of his own level, and then he can face it squarely, so he has gained great respect in the locker room.

This is a kind of personality charm. This old man with a beer belly in the UK who usually smiles has stabilized Liverpool.

"Champion, to the boss," Mark Qin stood up and shouted.

"Dedicated to the boss", everyone got up and shouted loudly.

Sammy Lee nodded with a smile, thanked him, and then turned back out of the locker room. He has nothing to emphasize. The problem of defense, they have practiced countless times in training, attacking, watching individual performance, and then, watching Will luck be on their side tonight.

In the locker room on the other side, Redknapp was tirelessly emphasizing, "Speed, speed, I hope you remember this word. The key to our victory this time is speed!"

Redknapp has been swinging between 442 and 451 this season. The reason is the problem of Bell and the double forward. They have Cameroon's powerful Hector at the left back. Bell is awkward at the left back, but He performed particularly well after being pushed to the left wing.

But the Magic Flute has already occupied a position in the middle. When playing against ordinary teams, Redknapp can only play a defensive midfielder, but against Liverpool, he does not have the guts.

That way Liverpool's powerful midfielder and the impact of Gerrard will smash their midfielder to pieces, so he gave up the double striker in this game and only let Keane serve as the single striker.

"Mark's importance to Liverpool's midfield,

I don’t need to say more, when he and Alonso are on the court at the same time this season, he will go forward frequently, Janus, and Palacios, I must keep an eye on him at all times”, Redkner Pu continued.

"This time we have to build a defensive line on this line", Redknapp drew a little behind the center circle of the tactical board, "don't close too far, it will give them a chance to threaten the goal with a long shot, Also don't press too far forward, that will give Torres room to accelerate."

"Lennon, Bale, the two sides must suppress their full-backs. Once the ball is stolen, hand it over to the wing to launch a quick attack immediately, and the frontcourt needs to run more interspersed"

The final is about to start. This is the last leg of the League Cup. Whether any team will get off early depends on the last 90 minutes.

The coaches of the two teams were making the final arrangements in the locker room, but there was already agitation outside the stadium. The red fan area and the white fan area were clearly separated. From the sky, it looked like a disc was divided into two parts with different textures, and it was extremely difficult to integrate. .

Today Lineker and Wilson sat behind the commentary booth and were analyzing the lineups of the two teams. Lineker said: "Tottenham's right back Joel Luka is 1.93 meters tall and is called a giant defender. And he can play multiple positions, although he is tall, his flexibility is not bad at all, and his speed is not slow."

"This is the star defender that Tottenham brought over from Manchester City in the summer," Wilson said cooperatively. "The opponent he will face today is Dirk Dirk. Since Torres returned, Liverpool's left winger Lieira has faded out of the main lineup. The Spanish winger is somewhat traditional, he hasn't adapted to the Premier League yet"

"Other aspects, the two teams have not changed much," Lineker continued. "It is worth noting that Tottenham have adopted a single striker formation that they have rarely used this season. It seems that they are more afraid of Liverpool. Midfielder"

With the sound waves of the commentary and the howling of the audience, Liverpool and Tottenham players officially entered the field from the tunnel, and Mark Qin was a little excited and eager to try.

To be honest, this is the first time he has participated in an official cup final, and he is not as calm as he told the media outside the court. In a final that determines the outcome, his mood will always fluctuate.

Since it was the final, the opening ceremony of the two teams took a long time. The championship trophy was placed under the rostrum of the passageway. The shape was very orthodox, like a silver cup magnified many times. Mark Qin had seen the trophies of national cup competitions on TV in his previous life. , I think this one of the English League Cup should be regarded as one of the best.

The players of both teams couldn't help but silently glanced at it, expecting to be the team that won it after the match, and the battle of glory was about to start.

The starting lineups of the two teams are as follows:

Liverpool: Reina; Enrique, Agger, Skrtel, Cahill; Dirk, Alonso, Mark Qin, Mascherano, Gerrard; Torres.

Tottenham: Cudicini; Hector, Woodgate, Dawson, Joel Luka; Bale, Janus, Modric, Palacios, Lennon; Keane.

Referee: Anthony Taylor

...

With a kick from Dirk Drivet back to Mark Qin outside the center circle, the temperature in the new Wembley Stadium suddenly rose, and the final of the 2008 England League Cup officially started.

Mark Qin didn't catch the ball, but turned around and ran forward. Mascherano caught the ball and gave it to defender Agger.

Little Keane quickly pressed towards Agger. His speed and agility are the guarantee of Tottenham's frontcourt mobility.

Agger didn't pay much attention to it, and turned around and passed the ball to Skrtel who was lagging behind. Taking advantage of this time, Enrique pressed into the midfield, and Liverpool quickly fell into the 343 offensive position.

Seeing that Tottenham did not overwhelm their own back line, Skrtel slowly pushed forward and passed a kick to Alonso in front. Alonso, under Modric's defense, pushed his foot forward To Mark Qin.

Since Mark Qin became the core of Liverpool, the rhythm of the entire team has gradually stabilized, and it is no longer as fast as before. Although it has followed many offensive routines from the Beitu era, it is completely two teams. team.

Bell and Janus quickly pressed on Mark Qin from both sides. He pushed back to Mascherano behind him, and then ran back. The horse didn't stop the ball, and knocked again. When you come back, you can treat yourself as a wall that needs to be erected at any time.

As Maxine retreated, Janus and Bell followed, but the speed and determination were completely different. Bell strode up from behind his left to steal the ball. Janus glanced back and ran away. Half did not press forward.

With two simple passes, Ma Keqin tried out the defensive attitude of Tottenham's midfielder today, and he probably had a spectrum in his heart.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles. Ma Keqin has inherited the great ideas of his ancestors and applied them to the football field.

He passed back to Cahill again, this time without waiting for the ball, but ran straight forward, Bale was pulled over by him, and Cahill simply pushed straight to Gerrard in front of him.

"Under Mark's organization, Liverpool advances unhurriedly. This is a picture we often see in the league. At the beginning, Mark led the first offensive advance," Lineker said.

"On Gerrard's side, Hector and Bale are wingers with very strong assist ability, they can go up and down," Wilson continued, "Gerrard needs to play a threat to suppress them."

Both Torres and Alonso moved closer to Gerrard, ready to play offensive cooperation, and Janus was close to him after Mark Qin passed halftime.

Gerrard caught the ball with his back, tapped his left foot, and turned towards the midfield. Janus looked at Mark Qin, and Palacios had to come to cover.

He took a step, and the ball rolled on the outside of his instep, and passed to the midfielder. Mark Qin knew that it was not for himself, so he didn't move at all.

"Liverpool's midfield is beautiful. Since Mark and Alonso formed a midfield, I haven't seen a team that can suppress their midfield. They are too strong," Wilson commented.

"Yeah, look at the offense," Lineker said.

The defensive area of ​​Modric who turned around was too small to contain Alonso at all. Alonso made a lateral move, got rid of Modric, and shoveled directly to the bottom of the ball.

"Alonso, pass over the top, Dirk Dirk crosses into the penalty area," Lineker yelled, "Duit and Dawson are fighting for speed, good shot, Dirk flies to hook the ball back from the baseline Small restricted area”

Woodgate struggled to lean against Torres who was going to grab the ball in front of the point. Cudicini made a vertical pounce and pressed the ball under Torres one step ahead of Torres.

"The ball Cudicini came out in time, otherwise... Cudicini got up, threw the ball vigorously, Lennon picked up speed..." Tottenham's counterattack followed.

Like a sword, A Fei's sword, A Fei's sword described by Gu Long, Ma Keqin turned his head and looked at the white that was dazzling because of its swiftness, so fast that he had no friends.

"My God, Lennon sent the ball ten meters away and passed directly from the outside. Mascherano had no time to come over. He returned to the penalty area, Agger pressed it out, turned around and raced with Lennon", Lai Inkel was also stunned by the speed.

Tottenham relied on these two swords to stab Manchester United to death at home. He came out of the world just after the opening game today.

"Lennon, he's wading through Agger, it doesn't make sense, just wading...", Lineker yelled, "He entered the penalty area, Mascherano came over, dialing out, or speed"

Lineker, stimulated by the adrenaline of the speed, unconsciously roared, "He reached the baseline and passed back to the penalty area."

The ball crossed Mascherano's shovel, and Skrtel, who chased back to the front point, fell to the ground without touching the ball. Keane swung his thigh outside the small penalty area, and Cahill threw himself out.

Redknapt stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the sidelines, and the goal was right in front of him.

"Kean, shot..., no, it was a cross, he handed it to Bell who came from the left, Bell, volley..." Reina turned around in vain and watched the ball swiftly swipe from his left hand However, one set off the net.

Too close, a volley, and he was powerless after he came over.

In the opening four minutes, a fast sword came out, blood was seen!

"Goaaaaaaaaaaaaal...", Lineker's tail can be dragged ten miles, "Gareth Bale, Liverpool became another team that was pierced by two lightning wings of Tottenham. unreasonable"

"Hey...", the white behind the net boiled instantly, their start was very smooth, Redknapp clenched his fists and raised his arms, excited.

Unreasonably fast, the fledgling Tottenham have already shown their sharpness, Mark Qin looked at the Tottenham players who ran to the sidelines to celebrate, and did not expect to fall behind at the beginning...
