20. The power of the "Six Meridian Sword"

20. The power of the "Six Meridian Sword"

As a classic battle handed down from generation to generation, the following points must be summarized after looking at the development history of football.

First of all, there are ups and downs. A football game without ups and downs is not magnificent enough, and the splendor of the game is not enough to satisfy the ups and downs, because there are many exciting games in the history of football, but there are only a few classic games.

Secondly, there are legendary characters. Similarly, if two civilian teams play a match, who will pay attention to it no matter how wonderful it is? The biggest difference between football games and basketball games and other sports is that the brilliance is often just that moment, and if it is a legend who completes this moment, then he will definitely live forever.

For example, Zidane, when Zidane is mentioned, the first thing people think of is definitely his flying fairy in the Champions League final.

Then, a classic game must be a battle of wits and courage, and the head coaches of both sides must not be supporting roles, because in the modern team, the intrigue and conspiracy of the head coaches of both sides are very attractive.

...

The game started, and the prelude to the defense of Meazza began in the retreat of the Liverpool people.

I didn't take Liverpool's full-line defense against Inter Milan at all, because this is Liverpool's style.

The powerful Red Army that once swept Europa is gone. Shankly, Dalglish... they have become a thing of the past. Now this Liverpool team can only rely on defensive counterattacks when facing the other seven giants.

However, the outcome of a football game is definitely not determined by the game process.

At this time on the court, Benitez sat on the bench with full confidence. This wretched Spanish fat man may be one of the few people who believes that Liverpool will have the last laugh at this time.

The fun has begun.

I don't know if Benitez has read Chinese history books. As the saying goes, the emperor guards the gate of the country. Today, Benitez uses the soul of the Red Army Stephen Gerrard to guard the gate of Liverpool.

One man should be guarded by ten thousand men.

"Stephen, your task today is to restrict Lionwell. I don't give you any offensive requirements. You only have one request, so that Lionwell can't organize an attack with peace of mind."

Gerrard did it, and the soul of the Red Army was at the forefront of Liverpool's defense line. He has been entangled with Lionwell all the time!

What a Benitez, what a Stephen Gerrard, Liverpool is not retreating across the board, they are defending with shrinkage, the entire Liverpool defense line is centered on Gerrard, and it is targeted against Inter Milan Local oppression.

Benitez has indeed accumulated a lot of experience in defensive counterattacks in the past two years. Under his leadership, the concept of defensive counterattacks has already penetrated into the bones of every Liverpool player.

Sacrificing Captain Gerrard's offensive talent and letting him interfere with Lionwell, what Mourinho failed to do, Benitez did.

Because the biggest difference between Benitez and Mourinho is that Mourinho wants face.

Chelsea can put up an iron barrel, but they must not shrink back like Liverpool. In fact, Chelsea still had the upper hand in the Stamford Bridge battle.

However, Benitez doesn't care about face, he only cares about the effect.

The defensive plan adopted by Liverpool is different from that of Chelsea. Although Chelsea has Makelele, after all, Makelele has too many objects to take care of. It is impossible for him to follow Lionwell all the time.

However, Benitez's defense is to retreat across the board, so the troops are naturally much more abundant than Chelsea.

When Leon was restrained, Inter Milan's offense really began to be unsmooth, but this could not completely contain Inter Milan's offense, because Mancini also prepared a commander for Inter Milan-guerrilla general Luiz Figo.

When Inter Milan's commander-in-chief Lionwell was heavily surrounded by Liverpool, Luis Figo's performance time came.

Why Inter Milan introduced Figo at the last moment of this season is to help Leon relieve the pressure.

But Benitez is ready to come.

He set up a barrier for Figo.

Spaniard Xabi Alonso.

After all, Figo is old. Under the entanglement of young juniors like Alonso, for a while, Inter Milan's offense often cannot be organized when it reaches the frontcourt.

Gradually, the mentality of Inter Milan's players began to change. After all, this is the Meazza Stadium. Inter Milan was eager to score goals, so they began to make mistakes.

...

closure

The defensive counterattack adopted by Benitez's Liverpool is not the same as that of ordinary teams, because during this period, Liverpool's offensive ability was really poor, at least compared with the other seven giants, Liverpool's offensive ability is definitely not high. good.

But why does Liverpool always score? The reason is simple, there is a tall but inconspicuous guy in Liverpool's frontcourt.

Goofy Crouch.

Speaking of this man, I have to talk about his height of 2.02 meters. To be honest, Crouch is too thin. Many people think that Crouch, who is like a bamboo pole, is difficult to stand in the fierce physical confrontation of the Premier League. survived.

However, Crouch survived, and he was also selected for the Three Lions. As the most efficient striker in the Three Lions, he can basically guarantee to score a goal every two games.

This is something that both the golden boy Irving and the golden fat Rooney are difficult to do.

Moreover, relying on his tenacious vitality, Crouch is like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang who has won the striker seal of this Liverpool team.

Crouch is definitely not a good center, he is not a good forward, but he is definitely a good player.

He is tall, but has good skills at his feet. To be honest, many players in England should learn from Crouch. At least Crouch's ability to hold, control and play the ball is unmatched among English forwards.

And he is not like Ibrahimovic, he has a certain header ability.

Of course, when it comes to this, many people will be very surprised. Since he has a good ability to hold the ball and his header is better than Ibrahimovic, why is he not as famous as Ibrahimovic?

The reason is simple, he lacks speed and power.

He can take the ball, even if the opponent is two or three defenders, he can also take the ball, but just hold the ball well, and like Ibrahimovic, Ade, Tony and Drogba can carry the opponent's defender forward Type of punch.

Crouch's impact is too weak, so he is not favored by the giants, but in this Liverpool team, Crouch is definitely a key existence.

Many people ignore him too much. This striker who can basically hand over ten goals and ten assists every season is seriously underestimated.

It is also very strange to say that the British media, who have always liked exaggeration, underestimated Crouch, which has to be said to be a strange thing.

As mentioned earlier, Liverpool's offensive impact is not strong. Their counterattack depends on Crouch to make a transition to exert its greatest power.

So when Inter Milan made frequent mistakes in the frontcourt, Crouch's performance began.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Crouch stopped the ball with his chest after receiving a long pass from his teammate, and then directly stuffed the ball to Cisse who was about to pass through!

This man Cisse has nothing else, his speed is definitely not inferior to track and field athletes.

Although his technique is really bad, he can still drive forward with the ball, right?

Liverpool's counterattack almost caused Inter Milan to lose the ball. Fortunately, Cannavaro's defense was in place at the last moment and he used a world-class tackle to shovel Cisse's oversized ball out of the baseline. Otherwise, Inter Milan would really be defeated. Liverpool scored first.

However, Liverpool's counterattack did not attract the attention of the Inter Milan players on the pitch, because in their view, as long as they put more effort, Liverpool's defense would collapse.

Inter Milan is too confident.

Note that it is not to underestimate the enemy, but to be confident.

If Inter Milan underestimated the enemy, then they would play very slack, but they did not underestimate the enemy, they were too confident!

All Inter Milan players, including Leon, are very confident in their own strength, so they seem to play in an orderly manner, but the formation is too high.

In the 28th minute of the first half, 11 minutes after Liverpool's last counterattack, Liverpool ushered in another chance to score. This time, they did not miss it.

It was Crouch who was in charge of the transfer. Under Samuel's interference, Crouch stopped the ball and passed the ball in one go, while Luis Garcia, who stepped in from the left, rushed towards Inter Milan with lightning speed. restricted area.

Mancini seems to have forgotten one thing before the game. Although Luis Garcia's Six Meridian Excalibur is not effective from time to time, he is usually very effective in key games, especially in big games...

Manchester United, Chelsea, and Arsenal have suffered a lot from Luis Garcia.

Now it's Inter Milan's turn.

I saw Luis Garcia, who was dribbling the ball from the left and was about to cut into the penalty area, suddenly swiped to the middle, dodged Cannavaro to get the angle of the shot, and the Spanish elf raised his foot and shot...

The power of the unique skill of the Six Meridians Excalibur lies in the fact that when it comes to life, it is really hard to defend against.

In fact, Cesar's position is very good, but Luis Garcia's shot on the penalty area line draws a strange outer arc!

The ball suddenly changed its trajectory in mid-air and turned to Cesar's right. Cesar, who was already moving to the left, was caught off guard.

It's not a good thing to react too quickly...

When Cesar turned around and wanted to dive, Luis Garcia's magical shot had already fallen into the net.

One to zero! There was a smile on the corner of Benitez's mouth on the sidelines, it was successful, his tactics were successful! Inter Milan is not too strong to be defeated! Mourinho, what you can't do, I, Benitez, can do it!

At this time, on the Meazza Stadium, all the Inter Milan players looked confused.

Liverpool's first goal of the game knocked on their door!
