- Alonso quietly watched everything happening on the football field. It was not until the end of the first half that Red Army fans were most looking forward to it.
Even the substitutes sitting on the coaching bench are the same. Only by mastering the absolute advantage on the field can these substitutes be able to play. For them, one more goal difference means one more chance to play.
For example, young goalkeeper Carson.
Having tasted the taste of the competition and performed well, he really hopes to stand on the court again and experience the moment when thousands of people are watching him.
Maybe the fans will not pay attention to him as a young goalkeeper, but after every game, he will be excited for several days to find her own name on the tofu-sized place.
Turning his head to look at Alonso next to him, Carson could clearly feel Alonso's mood towards the man on the court even though there were two players between them.
envy?
Maybe there are some, but not all.
Every place has its own small team, especially among wealthy families.
When Benitez entered Liverpool, the Spanish gang he brought was considered to be the largest "alliance outside the local forces." However, in this alliance, there appeared the "traitor" Garcia, who was very close to the Chinese, at least in personal terms. , everyone can see it.
Putting it on the court, it is the tacit understanding between Garcia and Lin Shaodong. In all competitions so far, more than 30% of Lin Shaodong's personal assists have been given to Garcia, which speaks volumes.
In an attacking lineup with Morientes, Gerrard, and Baros, it is unexpected that Garcia can achieve such results.
Carson had a heated game with some substitute players, and everyone was envious of the young Lin Shaodong. But they know better that the Chinese are not comparable to them. Such players are unique in world football.
In a highly competitive team like the Premier League, it is unusual to have one or two outbursts occasionally, but his perseverance is really a result of his own strength and is not the envy of others.
Carson doesn¡¯t want anything else, he just hopes that Liverpool can take the lead as soon as possible so that he can have more than ten minutes of playing time in the second half.
But this hope is slim. The head coach will never allow precious substitutions to be used on the goalkeeper. This is a very difficult thing to do.
The goalkeeper is the most stable player on the court. Unless something unexpected happens.
The first half of the game ended with a score of 1-1.
Back in the lounge, before everyone could take a breath, Benitez started to get angry.
"Look, our 'heroes', how honored you are. With the cheers of tens of thousands of fans on the stadium, you can get a score of 1-1. So why not let the opponent score one more goal, and then stage a Jedi big game in the second half? What about counterattack?¡±
Everyone can hear the irony in Benitez¡¯s mouth. If you take it seriously, you are wrong.
Lin Shaodong leaned on the seat as if no one was there, enjoying the massage from the physical trainer. During the short halftime break, unless the head coach had any new tactical arrangements or other instructions, he was mostly just a spectator for the rest of the time.
Lin Shaodong has long been accustomed to being in such a locker room, and the players around him seem to have acquiesced to it all. It seems like the time when the Chinese entered Liverpool. That's how he does it. As time went by, everyone became accustomed to it.
This has even become a benefit for "privileged" players like Lin Shaodong, and at least some people like Carson are envious of it.
Alonso sat aside and listened to all this quietly. Since he knew that he would appear in the second half, he has been mobilizing his energy and trying to find ways to get excited.
It has been several months since I said goodbye to the golf course, and I started to take sick leave almost before the winter break. Until this time, finally embarking on the last train of the league, which can be considered a good or bad news.
"In the second half, Xavi (Alonso) replaced Nunez and played as a double midfielder with Steve."
Benitez¡¯s sudden substitution. To the surprise of all the players in the locker room, if Liverpool's overall state was sluggish in the first half, Gerrard, as the leader, has to bear most of the responsibility. But it was Nunez who was replaced. This was somewhat unfair to the latter, at least he played very well.
¡°Is Benitez¡¯s pick of persimmons soft?
Lin Shaodong was also a little confused: Double midfielders? This is a clear indication of playing three midfielders! So who is the midfielder, who else but myself?
This is not Lin Shaodong¡¯s boasting, it is the truth. But what about the Norwegians? ?How should the position of the attacker be arranged, and how should the attacking madman on the left be placed.
Don¡¯t forget, Riise is also a player who has just played?
"John (Riise) retreated to the left back position, and we played five backs But whenever there is a chance, we also have to fly on both wings. Lin has a heavier task in the middle. He must be decisive in attacking and quick in retreating. "
Benitez¡¯s final decision made all the players nod.
With five defenders, playing in such a formation at Anfield would be too disrespectful to the opponent.
In the second half, as soon as Liverpool's new lineup came on the scene, most fans were stunned. Even the commentator Simon found it a bit incredible, but soon, he shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Our Xavi is back. Alonso finally returned to Anfield after months of absence. Let our applause be louder."
The doubts of the crowd did not stop their excitement. For them, they had long wanted to see the scene of Lin Shaodong and Alonso coexisting. This is something they have been looking forward to for a long time!
For such a midfield lineup, if it runs well, it would be really exciting.
Gerrard and Alonso are both old teammates, and there is no big problem with Lin Shaodong joining. Now it depends on whether Lin and Alonso can find that kind of tacit understanding.
The Tottenham players were also in a daze. Including the head coach, they didn¡¯t know what kind of card Benitez was playing. Could it be that he just looked so good?
You know, when an untested lineup appears for the first time, it represents two extremes!
The start of the second half was still dull, and it seemed to take some time for both sides to get into the game.
Lin Shaodong¡¯s delay was more due to the retracement of Riise, Hyypia and Finnan, and the occasional attack. The first point was also passed to Gerrard. As for Alonso's ball, it seemed that there were a few.
"Oh, it seems that Lin's support for Alonso is not enough!"
The substitute players sat on the court and speculated that Alonso made several forward attempts but ended in failure.
The scene is calm, or rigid. It made people look a little anxious, but Benitez had no reaction. As if everything is under control.
"Sir, should we strengthen our offense? Lin seems to be a little too conservative."
The assistant coach¡¯s reminder made Benitez glance at him sideways.
"No need for the time being, Tottenham is more anxious than us."
yes! Regardless of whether the scene is ugly or not, Liverpool controls the rhythm of the game. This is an indisputable fact. Tottenham were like a headless fly in attack, and the forwards could only go back and forth, making useless runs.
As for Lin Shaodong¡¯s conservatism, Benitez does have his own opinion.
Rather than saying that Lin Shaodong is conservative, it is better to say that Liverpool has difficulty finding opportunities in the midfield. Benitez didn't believe it. The position competition between Lin Shaodong and Alonso made the Chinese reluctant to pass the ball to Alonso.
The Spaniard's eager attack often only takes a few steps before he is surrounded by the Tottenham crowd. Although the Spaniard has been away from the game, his offensive ability is still there. He is still well known to everyone, so he is closely guarded.
Therefore, Lin Shaodong's failure to pass the ball was also for a reason.
Alonso is also a little anxious. He knows that he wants to prove himself eagerly, but after running so many times, Lin has only a handful of effective passes. This was hard to imagine in the past. Could it be that he thinks he is here to do hard work? What?
"Pass the ball!"
Alonso started running again. And shouted loudly to Lin Shaodong, who was controlling the football behind him, but before turning around, Alonso was tripped by Tottenham's Davis again. But at this time, Lin Shaodong's pass also came over. The target was not him, but Gerrard.
The Chinese did not pass the ball because of his eagerness. Instead, he was very patient and made a gesture that he understood.
Alonso felt a little anxious inside.
The Chinese people look down on others so much. Although they were a little eager to ask for the ball just now, and the Chinese people's behavior is understandable, it always made him feel embarrassed.
What you see off the court is completely different from what you see on the court. Alonso has always considered himself a generous person, but there are not many times when he feels embarrassed like today. The Chinese made him feel the long-lost grievance.
"Steven, you know what I want, pass the ball and give me a chance, okay?"
Alonso said to Gerrard with some jealousy.
Gerrard looked at his poor teammates and nodded: "I understand.How you feel, but Lin is kind-hearted. As long as you have a chance, I believe he will put the football at your feet. "
"Really?" Alonso doubted: "But that's for you! The Chinese always follow the crowd. He is willing to pass the ball to you, but I have never seen him pass the ball to me."
Alonso¡¯s words made Gerrard, who was running, furious.
"Do you want to leave the team? Then go and try!"
Thinking about it, Gerrard kicked the football coming from behind, and Alonso was ecstatic when he caught the ball.
In the 56th minute of the second half, Alonso received a through ball from Gerrard in the middle and suddenly rushed forward. Tottenham's midfielder was caught off guard and he broke through in the middle.
But Tottenham defender Edman made a timely defense, fell to the ground and made a tackle, intercepting Alonso.
Baros, who was standing on the other side, came back disappointed. He had already moved out of position just now. This was a very rare opportunity after the start of the second half!
but¡¡
Edelman knocked back the football to goalkeeper Robinson, who took the kick and handed the football directly to Kanoute in the Liverpool backcourt.
As a forward, Kanoute did not dare to stick to the ball and quickly distributed it to the center. When Riise arrived, he passed a penetrating pass to Robbie Keane who intervened in the center.
Lin Shaodong, who was returning to defense, was not far away. Seeing Robbie Keane receiving the pass, he directly headed the ball towards the goal without stopping. Dudek was helpless against this sudden header.
¡°goooal!!!¡±
This voice comes from Tottenham fans.
"Oh my god!"
Simon covered his face and said pitifully, from the time Alonso was intercepted to the opponent's goal, Tottenham only passed through a simple three-legged pass. Such efficiency is really surprising. It can be said that this is a classic defensive counterattack.
Is this ball just an offensive error by Liverpool?
Alonso looked at his opponent blankly.
The transition between offense and defense happened in an instant. He didn't even realize that his loss of the ball would have such serious consequences.
"Look at the good things you've done!"
Garcia¡¯s temper is not good, but he is not bad either. It¡¯s just that his good temper seems to be given to the Chinese.
However, the score changed from 1 to 1 to 1 to 2, and everyone¡¯s efforts succeeded their opponents, which still made Garcia find it difficult to accept.
"Why don't you pass the ball, me, or Milan (Baros), at least our chances are better than yours."
"Forget it, we still have time."
Lin Shaodong grabbed Garcia, who was a little angry. He knew very well the entanglements in the hearts of several people.
The game restarted. Although Lin Shaodong intended to speed up the attack, Tottenham, who had the initiative on the court, shamelessly defended the score to the end. No matter how the opponent attacked or lured the enemy, they always huddled near the penalty area.
The fans in the Kop stands have taunted their opponents several times, but it does not help the score on the field.
"Lin, the coach asked you to attack with all your strength, reduce passing, and try for a personal breakthrough!"
Taking advantage of the gap between boundary balls, Riise whispered beside Lin Shaodong, who nodded understandingly.
This sideline ball position is not bad. Tottenham always destroys Liverpool's good balls from the sideline. The style of play is very shameless.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Lin Shaodong received a side ball thrown by his teammate on the wing.
Suddenly he crossed into the penalty area. According to Lin Shaodong's passing strategy, his initiative surprised others, but Carrick, who had been following him, was unaware of it.
"Lin, Lin broke into the restricted area!"
Lin Shaodong's start shocked the Liverpool players. At least several core offensive players began to find their positions in the penalty area, looking forward to Lin Shaodong's pass at the last moment.
Even Gerrard couldn¡¯t help but confront Kelly next to him, trying to squeeze out some space.
Facing Ledley King¡¯s defense, Lin Shaodong put his upper body against him. When the former was stunned, he stepped on it nimbly, and a beautiful circle appeared on the football field.
"Perfect!"
Simon exclaimed: "Seeing Lin's Marseille spin again, I really feel like I haven't been away for a long time. Facing Lin's extraordinary skills, Ledley has no way to defend."
Lin Shaodong, who bypassed Ledley King, made a move to hit the goal. The former couldn't care too much anymore. He subconsciously grabbed the opponent's jersey, and then pulled hard, only to hear a "chi" sound.
"Red card, absolutely red card"??. "
Simon shouted happily: "Ledley pulled Lin down in the penalty area. He made a serious mistake in the penalty area."
Lin Shaodong¡¯s boldness and Ledley¡¯s foul gave Liverpool people cheers.
The referee gave a red card very forcefully, and then pointed to the twelve yards.
"A penalty kick and a red card will make Tottenham cry."
With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Liverpool once again took the initiative on the field, while Tottenham Hotspur was sent off.
