Green Life

Reina stood in the channel, looked at everything he was familiar with, and greeted several players on the opposite side. After Dudek won the Champions League with Liverpool, he was given up by Benitez. At this moment, Villa Real goalkeeper Reyna came to Anfield.

The other one who followed Reina's path was Bruno. To be honest, the two teams really have a lot of origins.

Just when the Hillsborough case was restarted, the Love Song Stadium once played a slogan "96, you will never walk alone" in a league match, spontaneously supporting it.

Even their nickname "Yellow Submarine" has an indissoluble bond with Liverpool.

Because the word first came from the best-selling single of the Beatles from Liverpool, because Villarreal is wearing a yellow jersey, and the results are as unpredictable as a submarine every year, and it may surface at any time. Call this nickname.

But today the fans of the yellow submarine will not be so enthusiastic anymore, because this is the Champions League quarter-finals, they will only greet the Red Army with the biggest boos, and they also expect the team to repeat the Champions League quarter-finals three years ago. strong feat.

"...the...", as the UEFA Champions League theme song played in the stadium came to an end, the players of the two teams followed the referee into this home court that was not very worthy of the UEFA Champions League.

The stadium at full capacity can only accommodate a little over 20,000 people, so there are very few Liverpool fans in the stadium. What surprised Mark Qin most is that the dressing room aisle is in the southwest corner of the stadium, which is quite different from most of the methods of putting the aisle in the middle.

With the smoke rising, the Champions League rekindled the flames of war, and Manchester United VS Porto also started at the same time.

"Hello, audience friends. After the opening ceremony, the two teams have already settled down. The first round of the Champions League quarter-finals between Villarreal and Liverpool will start soon. Let's take a look at the two teams first. Starting lineup," Zhan Jun's voice sounded on time.

"Liverpool is still in their traditional starting lineup. There is no change. The Chinese superstar Mark Qin is still in the midfield. He is in very good form recently. I look forward to his wonderful performance for the vast number of domestic fans in this game."

"On the other hand, domestic fans have become more familiar with Villarreal in the past few years. They are a strong team in La Liga. The team has former Deportivo players, Capdevila, and former Spain's main midfielder. , Senna, and Italy's golden boy Rossi"

Zhang Lu answered from the side and said: "On the bench they still have the veteran Pires and the Turkish veteran Nihat. They are also well-known figures, but it is worth noting that the yellow submarine defense's prospective rookie Godin, This Uruguayan guy has just been transferred for two seasons and is already the backbone of their defense."

"Yes\

,"Zhan Jun nodded and said, "Godin has played an important role in Villarreal's defense this year. Whether he can defend Spain's golden boy Torres today depends mainly on his performance."

"Oh yeah..." With a sudden cry from the love song stand, the game officially started.

Rossi kicked the ball back to Senna, the metronome of the yellow submarine, and Senna passed the ball to the back line in a leisurely manner.

Their rhythm has not been fast this season, and they rely more on teamwork and the skills of Spanish players to create opportunities.

This is also a helpless move, because there are only three or four players under the age of 30 in their starting lineup, most of them are in their early 30s, and there are two veteran players who are 34, including Senna.

But this group of people have played football together all the year round, and they are very skilled in tacit understanding and cooperation, and the team players are either from Spain or South America. The only Italian, Rossi, is also a small man, so the technical ability of the whole team cannot be underestimated. watch for.

Ma Keqin and the others specially watched the video of Yellow Submarine’s elimination of Panathinaikos in the round of 16 and the group stage. They knew that the key to playing it was not to allow him to rely on technical transmission, and to give them a chance to cooperate near the penalty area. , They scored most of their goals like this.

So at the beginning of the game, Liverpool's frontcourt trio followed by Mark Qin pressed towards the yellow, and Mark Qin pressed Senna.

With Liverpool's forward pressure, Huang Qian did not rush to pass forward, but the whole team followed suit. Forward Llorente (not the one from Bilbao) also returned to his own half, leaving only a small man in front Rossi.

The average Spanish team is not particularly afraid of pressing. Even the defenders have the courage to play with their footwork under the pressure. Today's Huang Qian is that the back line has passed the ball out of Liverpool's pressing range after a few times. The foot pushes the ball to the forward midfielder.

This is a kind of patience and rhythm. No wonder they were able to reach the quarter-finals. They have formed a complete whole. If it is not for the player's individual ability gap, it may be a powerful team. Fortunately, Liverpool's integrity is also very strong. The division of responsibilities and positions of the players is quite clear, and the two teams fell into a stalemate in the midfield for a while.

"Villarreal played out their characteristics. On their home court, facing Liverpool's frontcourt press, they didn't panic. Everyone dared to take the ball and dribble it," Zhan Jun explained.

"Hey, that's right," Zhang Lu replied, "Spanish teams all have this characteristic. They are not too afraid of the usual frontcourt pressing. Today is an away game, and Liverpool didn't dare to press the defense too much."

The fans in the love song stand spared no effort to cheer for the team. This small seaside town has been able to play the role of a dark horse in European competitions year after year, which has made their fans full of confidence and dare to challenge any team.

The game lasted for more than 20 minutes, and neither side had any absolute chances. During the period, Huang Qian made a pass from the side passing through the top, which almost gave Rossi a one-handed chance, but Skrtel returned to the defense in time to hold Rossi , Let Reina confiscate the ball first.

Liverpool also had an excellent opportunity. Facing the double-team, Mark Qin promptly distributed the ball to Alonso. Alonso made a long pass to the front of Gerrard. Unfortunately, Gerrard's low pass slipped in the end. The goal passed, neither Torres nor Dirk Didier touched the ball.

The two teams met for the first time in the European arena. They were full of caution at the beginning and put a lot of energy into defense. As a result, after 20 minutes, the two teams were evenly matched, even with the same ball possession rate.

Mark Qin is also constantly feeling and observing Villarreal's style of play. Although they are both Spanish teams, they are more Spanish than Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, frequently interspersed with running and passing passes, No wonder in the past few years, he has attracted a large number of fans as a dick.

The reason is that they played gorgeously and beautifully. Most of the time they played mainly short and medium passes.

Mark Qin looked at the time on the big screen, thinking that it was almost time to test. He didn't dare to press up for more than 20 minutes, because he was afraid that Huang Qian would have some special arrangements for the opening. Don't be caught off guard, it's better to be steady .

It seems that Pellegrini is really not a coach who is used to surprises. In Mark Qin’s impression, whether he coached Real Madrid, Malaga, Manchester City or China Fortune, he played step by step according to his own rhythm. There are heaven and earth coaches.

The abbreviation is that I am not good at adjusting the command on the spot, you bite me! , Uncle Zha ran all the way behind him, master, wait for me...

After testing, just do it! , as Mark Qin approached the hanging door 45 meters away and was higher than the crossbar, the two teams opened the horn of attack at the same time.

"Lopez, kick-off goal, oh, Liverpool suddenly pressed up, he had to kick big, Agger and Llorente competed for the top, the second point, Eguren, was kicked away by Mark Qin, Aaron Get the ball and give it to Enrique"

Pellegrini and the Villarreal players suddenly saw Mark Qin become active in the frontcourt. His figure was everywhere, left and right in the middle.

How to defend Mark Qin has been a problem for the coaches of the teams this season, because he is not like a striker, you can stick to him all the time, he is a midfielder running around.

To suppress him, there is basically no good way except that your team's midfield is more controllable than Liverpool's.

So this time Pellegrini didn't bother with that, and he might mess up his defensive system, that is, regional assistance defense, and focus on marking in key areas.

The ball was pushed forward by Mark Qin and Alonso, because Villarreal's five defensemen basically didn't rush forward, and their movements were all integrated, so there was no obvious gap. files.

Ma Keqin didn't play behind the back easily. It was easier to lose the ball and play positional battles. Liverpool's current strength is also higher than that of Villarreal. Liverpool slowly put the yellow submarine in this way. Pressed back to the area of ​​​​the restricted area of ​​​​the side.

This is a battle of rhythm between the two teams. Villarreal is a team that always needs to control the ball to create opportunities. Their counterattack threat is not high.

Mark Qin just couldn't let them do what they wanted. Their main lineup is really on the verge of success now. They need speed, control, and solid defense. Otherwise, it would be impossible to smash Real Madrid to pieces at the Bernabeu.

This time they played another exquisite teamwork.

Mark Qin moved to the area he was most used to attacking and received the pass from Gerrard's dunk. Liverpool's trident was on the right side of the team and near the opponent's big penalty area, and the cooperation became more and more tacit.

He pretended to break through, took two steps forward but didn't take the ball, and directly led the opponent's Uruguayan midfielder Eguren to the side. All four goals he scored at the Bernabeu were in this area, so he couldn't help being nervous.

As a result, after one movement, Ma Keqin changed from facing the attacking direction of the goal to facing the goal sideways. The ball hit the outside of his left foot and opened the gap for passing the ball.

This is the shadow of the famous tree of people, which is called deterrence.

"Mark Qin, you got rid of it beautifully, and the arc ball passed diagonally behind the penalty area." Zhan Jun raised his voice because he saw Mark Qin pass the ball directly into the penalty area with his left foot.

"Strike, who is that, Didier Dirk?" Zhan Jun yelled out this time, and a red figure stood out from a row of yellow guards and went straight to the point where the ball landed.

Goalkeeper Lopez quickly moved to the near corner, and Villarreal's defense quickly retreated to watch people, preventing a possible header from Dirk.

The ball flew to the outside of the penalty area, and Dirk Dirk jumped high, but instead of facing the direction of the penalty area, he completely turned his back to the baseline, and smashed the ball back to the penalty spot of the penalty area with his forehead.

"Dukit, head it back, Alonso, Alonso goes up"

Alonso wanted to volley with his left leg, but when he saw Senna coming back not far ahead, he changed his mind temporarily. With an arch of his left foot, he half-turned and brought the ball to the top of the penalty area.

It's a guard with a knife coming up, Agger!

His first Premier League goal was a heavy bombardment from 40 meters away. Although he is not strong, his calf is very explosive, and the kick is urgent and fast!

Now that the top of the arc in the penalty area is empty, Agger comfortably swung his left leg and smothered his foot on the ball.

The ball was really like a white light, and with a "swish", it jumped past the two yellow lines of defense in the penalty area against the turf, and then blasted into the goal at a speed that Lopez had no time to react.

Even in slow motion playback, there are afterimages, which shows how fast the speed is!

"The ball... scored... la... Liverpool, the guard with the knife, Daniel Ag...", Zhan Jun shouted loudly, matching the rapid goal with passion.

"Good goal, Liverpool's series of cooperation", Zhang Lu also called out, "The two teams played a positional battle today, but Liverpool scored the first goal. It was a surprise that Age came up. It should be Mascherano. Afterwards, the position of Liverpool players is becoming more and more flexible.”

After scoring the goal, Agger, like Gerrard, excitedly lifted the jersey and put it on his head, revealing his tattoos all over his body, and ran to the sidelines frantically, but this made him look even wilder.

Mark Qin chased and ran up to celebrate. This was the result he expected. The two teams played so slowly, and Liverpool must win in the end. There is nothing else but the difference in star ability.

As long as Villarreal are not allowed to play their usual rhythm, they can't win just relying on the player's ability. Pellegrini pulled his hair and stood up from the coach's bench. The game is not easy...( )
