Chapter 142 Surprise

Zero to one!

The home team was in front and the away team was in the back. In the ninth minute of the game, Liverpool's offense was a perfect cooperation, which caught Tottenham off guard. Cice, who had just joined the team, received a wonderful pass from Barroche and helped Liverpool take the lead with a low shot!

“Wow…”

There was an uproar on and off the court, and even the Liverpool players who reacted were a little unbelievable. Cice even muttered to himself: "I scored a goal?" He was not sure.

However, after reacting, Sisai immediately hugged Baros next to him happily and kept saying: "Thank you, thank you!"

He can't help but thank you!

How many people fell in the Premier League? Originally, after Cice joined Liverpool, he felt that he had to adapt to the main position for a while. He had never thought about the main position. In fact, he always felt that Don Jack and Barrosh should be the main players.

But now, he scored a goal just as the opening game.

Most of this is thanks to Barros. The exquisite heel pass just now was so great that he almost shot into the net. At that moment, Cice felt incredible, but the ball had already scored. This goal was too important to him, not only to stabilize his position in the team and win the support of Liverpool fans, but also to him, it greatly increased confidence in the game.

Cice did not worry about these aspects, but he knew that this goal was very important and very important!

At the White Hart Lane field, all Tottenham fans were discussing the goal just now. They were not excited, but felt the terrifying cooperation of Liverpool's forward line. It was difficult for them to understand why such a new player can cooperate with a young player like Barroche so well?

yes!

How could a new player cooperate with the original old player? This is really hard to explain. More importantly, everyone thinks that Liverpool's offensive power is really not strong. Many professional fans have analyzed Liverpool's lineup and the characteristics of each player. They understand this. After Irving left, before Don Jack and Cice were fully integrated into the team, Liverpool's offensive ability was absolutely worrying, not to mention that their head coach Benitez was rumored to be a very utilitarian and conservative coach.

In this case, Liverpool's forward line can be imagined.

But this scene on the field subverts general perception.

In fact, they were right. The goal just now can be described as a flash of inspiration, which was Baroshi's flash of inspiration. This kid originally wanted to shoot by himself, but there was not much chance. He could only retreat and choose to pass the ball. Occasionally, a red figure appeared out of the corner of his eyes. He passed it directly behind his heels without thinking...

So, the goal was already scored.

This was just a flash of inspiration, and it could even be said to be a coincidence. If Baroshi was sent to him again, he would not have the confidence in his heart. But when he was surrounded by the team, Baroshi would not guarantee his own trump card: "Haha, I am a genius, I knew that Gibril would definitely come..."

All the teammates around were fooled... They felt that they could not underestimate this kid...

However, Cice didn't feel anything. He just felt a warm feeling, because he noticed that Baroche called him "Gibrill" instead of "Cice". This is a name that is close to friends. If it is a stranger, it would be impolite. However, Baroche, who had just passed the ball, called him like this, and he felt that he had slowly integrated into the team.

This feeling is really good.

※※※

Don Jack off the court didn't have so many ideas, and he didn't know what was going on the court.

In fact, Don Jack can't wait to play now, but it seems that Liverpool has no disadvantage at all. He is a little depressed. If he continues to play like this, when will his chance to play last?

So he himself kept struggling on the bench.

Although Benitez promised him to play, playing soybeans in the last five minutes is also called playing soybeans, turning the tide for the team is also called playing. The meaning of the two is completely different. Don Jack Don doesn't want to play soybeans for the first time when he officially debuts in the Premier League...

Now he was a little envious of Xisai. This guy's performance in the warm-up match was only average. He was not as good as he did. He even forced his coach Benitez to hide him in advance and use it at critical moments.

But in this way, when will I appear...

Ignoring Don Jack was struggling here, on the court, after Liverpool celebrated slightly, the game started again.

This time, it is obvious from the situation that Tottenham's offense has become much more stable. At the beginning, Tottenham's players were all thinking about attacking, but the goal just now forced them to care about the team's defense, so their current offense has been maintained, and they are afraid that Liverpool will score another goal.

The goal just now is a wonderful cooperation, but if they score another goal, they will fall into an extremely passive situation. Although the "turnover" is very attractive, in fact, no one wants to do any "turnover". Winning just right is better than anything else.

However, the format is better than that of a person. Tottenham is also a backward side. They want to win just now...

Gradually, Tottenham had to strengthen its offense again, which is their specialty. Tottenham, a defensive team, is not called Tottenham. When it comes to defense, perhaps everyone can think of Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham belong to North London teams. Influences of history and team style, they are good at attack.

Only attack!

As Tottenham's offense gradually started to fight, the atmosphere on the court became popular. For Tottenham fans, the team's offense has always been something they are proud of. They like to watch the team's game, not only for winning, but also for the passion in the team's offense.

Soon, Liverpool gradually lost its support in this kind of attack...

I have to say that the media's evaluation is still reasonable. At least Liverpool's midfielder is a little stretched on the court. Gerrard is indeed strong, but no matter what, he is alone. "Midfield Superman" is just an honorary title that fans are used to. He is still in the category of normal people.

As for other midfielders, it's not very good.

Cowell on the right is a little better, and Finnan on the left is a half-baked guy, because this guy is a full-back, or a defender can be all-around. Although the speed is pretty good, he has been a little over-the-top. Moreover, this guy's performance on the left back can only be said to be average. You know, in Liverpool and Tottenham's level matches, his performance usually means that he is not qualified...

As for Gerald's midfield partner Dietmar Harman?

This guy is a traditional German midfielder, a player who is extremely defensive. If he wants to kick a free kick, he may be able to take advantage of it. In real competition, his role in the offense is extremely limited. Moreover, Haman's performance in this game was really poor. Maybe he played too happily in the summer. He probably hasn't found his form yet, and his performance is really unsatisfactory.

In a ball grab, Haman was easily overwhelmed by the opponent's winger and chased the ball one step later, which made the opponent easily throw him away, making Benitez so angry that he almost rushed over and cursed.

This way, the midfield composed of four players can be imagined.

Although Gerald was like a "unstoppable soul", running all over the field and seeing him everywhere, he was not a "Superman" after all, and he could not replace other people's tasks. Therefore, Liverpool was suppressed by his opponents more and more powerfully without midfield control.

In fact, this also has Benitez's responsibility.

Now assistant coach Haidings is asking this question: "Sir, will this be too conservative?"

Haidings is an old coach. He is 65 years old this year. This age means that he will retire from Liverpool, so he is not afraid of offending Benitez. In Haidings's opinion, Liverpool's lineup is too conservative on the court now. Among the four midfielders, only the right winger Cowell is good at attacking, Gerrard is a firefighter, and the other two are standard defensive players.

You know, the midfield is the center of the entire team's formation, and it is the most critical. If the midfield performance is not good, the forward line can get few opportunities. It can be imagined that Baros and Cice are almost foils now. If the team's offense is not good, they can only stare at it.

So now Cice has replayed, with Barros standing by Liverpool in the frontcourt, but it hasn't been getting the ball for a long time.

After 30 minutes of the first half, Liverpool had no momentum to open the game. After being attacked by Tottenham, Liverpool was already suppressed and could not breathe.

Fortunately, Liverpool is the leading side now, which makes the players feel a little fighting spirit. However, if the game continues like this, it will be a matter of time before Liverpool concedes the goal. Now Benitez is considering whether it is time to introduce two midfielders to the team after the game is over?

This summer, Liverpool introduced four players, but sold them again and loaned nine players. Originally, Benitez was hoping that Liverpool could play games with the original lineup, but now he found the problem. Those with strength are not suitable for his tactics, or those who have not adapted to the Premier League, those who have no strength have been sent out by themselves, and Liverpool is in a tight midfield line.

What to do now?

Benitez and Haidings chatted for a few more words, then stared at the court again. He was considering that the team would hold on for a while and it would not be too late to make adjustments during the halftime break.

In fact, Benitez had long thought about how to adjust!

The team has a heavy gunner who has not yet played. He originally didn't want Don Jack to play for too long and was planning to use him to turn the tables. But it seems that this "heavy gunner" that has been preserved for a long time will be used in this game, otherwise the game will be really difficult to play. Benitez doesn't want to lose the first game he coached.

"Wait a little longer..." As the game became worse and worse, Benitez's heart continued to move. He kept reminding himself to stay calm and not be affected by the situation. But there was no way. How could he not worry about the game on the court, the head coach.

There is a saying: Whatever you are afraid of is what you are...

When Benitez was nervous, Tottenham scored directly!

This is a solo performance.

In the 41st minute, Tottenham launched a steady offensive. After they fell a few shots in the backcourt, the full-back Edman passed the ball to the frontcourt. On the penalty area line, the sudden forward Canut rushed to the ball and directly attacked the goal!

This shot was too sudden!

Dudek did not react at all, but because the shooting position was far away from the goal and the header was not very strong, Dudek still blocked the ball back with his hand. After that, the forward Difoe who inserted got the ball from the right side of the penalty area. This guy seemed to possessed a god and drifted past Finan and Hypia continuously. When he approached the baseline, he shot directly.

"goooal!!! The ball is in! It's Defoe! Jermaine Colin Defoe!"

The White Hart Lane Stadium made a shocking cheer, and Tottenham fans went crazy. They finally scored a goal with their offense to tie the score. The goal came so smoothly, from the backcourt pass to Canute and then to Difoe's passer, it took almost ten seconds. Such a goal was so refreshing. Tottenham fans all felt the heat, while Liverpool fans were heartbroken!

The score is not the key, the key is that the team played in the second half of the first half was so depressed.

Liverpool!

We are Liverpool! How could we play so passively when we fight with Tottenham?

The Liverpool fans who came with the team were very dissatisfied. They shouted to cheer for the team and wanted to use this to help the players on the court to regain their confidence. This made the players on the court feel a little embarrassed. Their performance today is really a bit sorry to the fans.

However, what made them happy happened soon...

Defoe is really a very "free and easy" Englishman. Such an Englishman is really rare. After scoring the goal, Defoe ran to the fan stands and staged a "disguised show". He shouted at the fans shirtlessly... The result is conceivable. The referee who followed him directly showed him a yellow card.

※※※

After the game started again, Liverpool stabilized its position and under the command of Gerald, they wanted to play two steady attacks and find a chance to lead again. Tottenham also wanted to score another goal while taking advantage of the momentum. As a result, the game was very hot, and the two teams each found a very good shooting opportunity.

However, neither team was able to score, and with the tie, the game entered the halftime break.

Don Jack was a little nervous. When Liverpool scored a goal, he was anxious to play by himself. As a result, Tottenham performed an offensive show for the entire half. This made him secretly happy, and he felt that his thoughts were a little sorry for the team.

But who doesn't think about himself?

"The coach will send himself on the court, right?" When walking in the player passage, Tang Jack thought to himself.

He really wanted to play. He didn't participate in the official game for a summer. Don Jack was afraid that he would forget the feeling of the game. Now, Liverpool's situation is a bit passive. Although his tactical awareness is not good, it can be seen that if he wants to change the situation, the coach will definitely substitute. After all, with the current lineup, it is difficult for Liverpool's offense to fight.

Maybe my chance has come?

With this feeling, Don Jack finally waited for Benitez to appear in the locker room. The Spaniard did not disappoint Don Jack. The first thing he said when he entered the locker room was a substitution: "Jack, you replace Cice in the second half. After you get on the court, you will be near the penalty area and shoot from a long distance if you have the chance."

"Milan (Barroche), you should wander around the opponent's penalty area in the second half, be careful not to offside. Also, pay attention to Jack's position and remind him of his position..." It seems that Benitez was still worried about Don Jack's consciousness. He knew that this black-haired boy had a bad consciousness on the court, so asking Barroche to remind him more will also help the game.

Tang Jack didn't think much about this. His consciousness was not good at all. He knew very well. A teammate reminded him more, which would help him integrate into the team faster.

Such a simple substitution seems to have little impact on the game, but when Liverpool players heard that Don Jack Don was going to play, they were all excited. After so much time together, their long shots on Don Jack Don were almost rising to the level of admiration.

This shows the shocking effect of Don Jack's long-range shot!

Having such a turret is also a great deterrent to the opponent, or it may be caught off guard by the Tottenham. Think about the scene when Don Jack practices while practicing shooting. Everyone in the team is envious and praying for Tottenham... Especially Dudek, this guy is not training with Don Jack Don, his feelings are the deepest. Now Dudek is thinking about the depressed expression of the opponent's goalkeeper Paul Robinson when he sees this black-haired boy's shooting power...

"Maybe he would be kicked?" Thinking of this, Dudek kept gloating in advance, mainly because he received too much damage...

After ordering the substitution, Benitez gave a few more words to each player, and then left everyone with rest time. Overall, the halftime tactics have not changed much, and the biggest change is that Cice was replaced by Don Jack.

But just one change made Liverpool full of morale.
