The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 118

However, Benitez changed the subject: "He is still a bit immature and not suitable for starting in the league yet."

Ha ha
Li Tiancheng watched Benitez talk so eloquently on TV, and he couldn't help but laugh. It's really something he can do, and he always throws cold water on people when they are happiest.

But this is Mailer's business. I need to solve a lot of problems now, so I don't want to worry about it.

How to deal with foul tactics?
Of course, the best thing is to prevent the opponent from fouling frequently. In the last game, I took six direct free kicks, four of which were within the range of the goal frame, and they were all turned away. This is really a hell!

The level of free kicks needs to be strengthened.

The other is to strengthen running, fast catch and fast pass without giving the opponent reaction time.

On the one hand, it is to strengthen the tacit understanding with teammates.

On the other hand, the selection of running positions must also be optimized, at least to be able to appear in more dangerous areas and keep opponents at a loss.

Well, this also requires intensive training.

I have to find Paco and the others to study the training plan.

But the most important thing is mentality. How to maintain a stable mentality in the triple pinch of petty moves, fouls and trash talk is the most important thing.

If you can keep your mentality stable, at least the quality of free kicks will not be so bad, and none of them have made any contribution.

It was different from playing against Millwall. It was anger at that time, and keeping calm in anger was very familiar to me, and I was familiar with it, and I could control it even when I was furious.

But now it's different, it's too annoying, but it's okay to talk about fouls, petty moves are everywhere, and trash talk is everywhere, it's just driving people crazy.

It would be great if I could keep calm all the time, so that even if I was in a bad state, I wouldn't lose my standard, at least I could maintain a certain bottom line.

Mr. Yang gave suggestions, meditation and Qing Jing Sutra, it was just a joke, as soon as he sat quietly, his mind would not stop for a moment, how to meditate.

As for chanting scriptures, let’s try it, I guess it won’t be of much use to me, the seniors are highly cultivated and can practice these things, can I really do it?

Try it, after all, it was Mr. Yang who said it.

Li Tiancheng rearranged the schedule, and before he felt anything, he ushered in the Crystal Palace.

On November 11, in the No.11 round of the Premier League, Liverpool played against Crystal Palace at home.

Crystal Palace has four wins, one draw and one loss in the last six rounds of the league. The results are very good. They quickly walked out of the relegation zone and swept away the haze of one draw and five losses in the first six rounds.

Especially in the last round of the league, against Arsenal, if it weren't for Henry's last-minute goal, they would have won.

Being a guest at Anfield at this time, given that Liverpool's current situation is miserable, and their own state is bursting, of course they are eyeing and trying to get all three points.

The same is true for Liverpool. If they want to continue to covet the championship, they cannot continue to lose points. In addition, the main players have finally rested for a few days, which can be regarded as a relief, and they do not intend to let their home court fall again.

In this campaign, Benitez continued.

Baros came back from injury and was at the front, Kewell was behind to support, and Garcia was still on the right.

On the left is Li Tiancheng. Although he failed to win the last round of league starts, Benitez chose to continue to let Li Tiancheng start, but the position was once again at the forward line.

Riise dropped back to left back.

The rest of the positions remain unchanged, with Hyypia, Carragher, and Josemi in solid positions.

Kirkland is still the main goalkeeper.

It is not surprising that Crystal Palace took advantage of the kick-off to launch an offensive. What is surprising is that their offensive wave after wave actually suppressed Liverpool for a while.

Liverpool was busy but not chaotic, so they really didn't fear anyone in the frontal defense, and they started to counterattack after recovering.

Li Tiancheng liked this scene. At this time, there was no harassment by small movements, and he turned around after catching the ball and rushed straight to the opponent's ribs.

Behind him, Riise had already gone straight to the baseline and took away a defender. Li Tiancheng dribbled the ball at high speed, touched the ball with his left foot, followed by a bicycle with his left foot across the football, and immediately dialed the ball with the outside of his right foot and cut into the ribs.

The Crystal Palace quickly began to encircle them as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Facing the blockage, Li Tiancheng passed the ball to the top of the arc in the penalty area, and accelerated his insertion.

Then he noticed that Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian swooped across, grabbed the ball in his hand, and looked back at Baros in astonishment.

Brother, why are you in such a hurry, you just shot directly like this, be patient, is it not good to pass a kick?

Seeing that Barosh raised his hand to indicate that it was his fault, Li Tiancheng smacked his lips and said nothing. This guy is under a lot of pressure, and it is understandable that he is eager to score.

Attack failed.Liverpool settled down quickly, waiting for Crystal Palace to attack. Li Tiancheng did not have much confidence in his one-on-one defense, but he still focused on analyzing the attacking route of Crystal Palace and actively made up for his own loopholes.

Sometimes blocking the opponent's passing route and slowing down the opponent's attack speed is enough for your teammates to run to the position to start defense.

Liverpool's defensive line is layered, and Crystal Palace's offensive momentum cannot be sustained. With the weakening of physical strength, it is inevitable to fall back.

Liverpool's formation naturally unfolded forward, but they did not take advantage of the situation to attack.

At this time, Li Tiancheng began to practice changing positions with Garcia and Kewell.

This is the correct way to open. It has been a long time since I played football so freely.

Li Tiancheng kept changing positions to the center and right. It became more and more difficult for Crystal Palace to keep watch on him, and naturally it became very difficult to foul and harass him.

This time Li Tiancheng cut from the right to the center, and made a cross with Garcia in the ribs, and Alonso passed the ball forward in time.

Li Tiancheng received the ball at the front of the penalty area, dribbled the ball horizontally and continued to walk towards the middle.

Seeing the opponent's defender Popovich leaning forward to block his shooting route, Li Tiancheng made a false shot with his left foot, but after falling, his left foot continued to flick the ball.

Popovich tried to block the hole of the gun. Seeing this situation, he moved his body vigorously and continued to block it. Unexpectedly, this was also a fake action.

Li Tiancheng raised his left foot across the football, and when it fell, he kicked the ball with his heel. The football went from behind his right foot and went straight into the penalty area along the route Popovich had just evaded.

Barosch went forward to outflank the ball and fell down!

you……

The referee believed that Boyce made a foul by pushing.

Fortunately, a penalty kick.

Baros made it overnight, 1:0!

The Crystal Palace players were very angry about this, they thought Baros flopped.

Li Tiancheng is quite satisfied, it doesn't matter if there are no assists, as long as Barosh scores a goal.

Scoring a goal just after returning from injury will definitely play a positive role in Baros' recovery.

A striker in excellent condition is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for Liverpool to compete for the league title.

15 years without a league title, long enough...

The angry Crystal Palace took advantage of the kick-off to launch a counterattack, and they chose to attack Liverpool on the right.

Josemi was in a hurry for a while, but they made them threaten a few times, and Liverpool's defense seemed precarious for a while.

But Liverpool also had a chance to counterattack. After Li Tiancheng received a pass from Riise, he dribbled the ball all the way to attack, and after attracting the siege, he promptly distributed the ball to the middle.

Kewell caught the ball and stuffed it into the penalty area. Barosch went forward to catch the ball at high speed. It was Boyce again. This guy put a shovel in the penalty area and directly brought Barosch down!

Ah……
