Chapter 432 The Wily Benitez

"Well, judging from my starting roster, the captain of the Red Army, Steven Gerrard, did not appear in the team's starting lineup today. This is really unscientific!

You know, the opponent the Red Army is facing today is Crystal Palace. If the Red Army was able to send most substitutes to despise their opponents in the first confrontation last season, can the Red Army still despise the defending champion of the league now?What kind of trouble is Benitez trying to do?

Uh, it seems that the topic is far away, let me continue to talk about Liverpool's starting lineup.

In terms of midfield, the 4 players sent by the Red Army today are No. 15 Benayoun on the left, No. 11 Riera on the right, No. 14 Harvey Alonso in the middle and No. 20 Mascherano.

At the top of the front are No. 18 Dirk Dirk and No. 7 Robbie Keane.

After talking about Liverpool, let's take a look at the defending league champion Crystal Palace.

Today, Crystal Palace's starting lineup has changed a lot from last season when they won the championship.

First of all, in terms of formation, Friedman is considered old and new. He completely abandoned the 5-3-2 he used to settle down last season and changed to 4-2-3-1! [

Lineup:

The goalkeeper has not changed, it is still No. 1 Diego Lopez.

In terms of defense, none of the 4 faces we were familiar with last season has disappeared!

Today, the 4 players standing in the defense of Crystal Palace are

Left back Zabaleta, right back Glenn Johnson, two central defenders Vincent Kompany and Lescott.

In the midfield, there are 2 midfielders, Yaya Toure and Modric.

Left forward Gareth Bale, right forward Wright Jr., Wright Phillips.Out of nowhere, No. 10 Sneijder.

As for the person at the top, I don't need to say, everyone already knows it, of course it is--Lee, the new European Footballer of the Year!

Okay, the game has started, let's enter the game scene together. "

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

"Beep, beep, beep!" With the whistle of the referee on duty, the match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at home was officially announced.

And when the game started, Liverpool, who were playing at home, quickly showed a much stronger desire to win than Crystal Palace!

As the saying goes, when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

Strictly speaking, there is not much difference in strength between Crystal Palace and Liverpool. Under such circumstances, when one of the two warring parties clearly has a stronger desire to win, the situation on the court will be slightly deflected. No wonder! [

10 minutes!Only relying on defense to top Liverpool for 10 minutes, Crystal Palace, who lacked fighting spirit in this game, conceded the goal first in the 11th minute of the game very unfortunately!

Moreover, conceding this goal is really not the kind of goal Liverpool created by relying on the skilled cooperation of the team, but the kind of goal that should not be conceded no matter how you look at it.

At that time, it was Riera who got the ball on the right, went down at high speed and sent a cross.

It's just that this simple high-altitude ball defense, whether it is for Lescott or Kompany, is nothing more simple. Top out of the restricted area.

The first point in the cross was cleared by Crystal Palace in advance?It doesn't matter. In the last 2 minutes, almost the whole team has overwhelmed the halftime. Liverpool, who was rehearsing halftime offense and defense in the Crystal Palace halftime, said, just come again!

No, after Alonso took the second point of control of the ball not far from the penalty area, he soon sent the ball into the Crystal Palace penalty area again.

And maybe seeing the high-altitude balls played a few times before did not play a big role for Crystal Palace. In this cross, Alonso, who has never lacked creativity, chose a half-high ball.

"!" Seeing the ball being drawn flat and fast by Alonso into the penalty area, following the instinct of a defender, Lescott stretched his head forward without hesitation when the ball flew right in front of him, ready to The second is over!

However, before making this instinctive action, Lescott really forgot a very important question, that is--Alonso's pass, not only the speed of the ball is fast, but also, Alonso hit, not A high ball, but a half high ball!

What is the difference between a high ball and a half high ball?

They are all balls flying off the lawn. At first glance, there is no difference. Even for forwards, it is just a straight body to go to the top, or a dive to the top. The difference is not big!

Unfortunately, for defenders, there is a huge difference between defending this half-high ball and defending a high ball!

First of all, to defend this kind of half-high ball, the first difficulty is to choose what body to fill in to clear the siege!

And it is obvious that Lescott, who was on the court and started to represent Crystal Palace, made a very wrong demonstration in front of the fans watching the live broadcast of the game all over the world-use his head!

Well, in theory, it is not impossible to use the head to clear the siege. However, it is a pity that after choosing to use the head to clear the siege, Lescott, whose body is relatively stiff, failed before the ball arrived. Simultaneously complete the action of bending over!

Then, Lescott on the court was tragic, and then Diego Lopez was also tragic, and Crystal Palace was also tragic!

Seeing Lescott use a very standard dive to the top on the court, directly pushing Alonso's cross into his own gate, all the Crystal Palace personnel present today were all stunned!

-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

"Ah! gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, Crystal Palace scored, 1 to 0! No! It was Liverpool who scored! Um, not right!

Ah, anyway, it was Lescott's header and Liverpool led the score 1-0!

And this goal, although it was an own goal by Crystal Palace, to a large extent, still reflects the success of Liverpool's opening tactics.

Looking at the first 10 minutes of this game, it can be said that Benitez has brought his cunning to the extreme!

Knowing that you, Crystal Palace, haven't been in place yet, I didn't treat you politely at all when you first came up, and you were so awesome. After a few heavy punches, Crystal Palace was immediately beaten!

Friedman, Friedman, hurry up and adjust. If the game continues like this 10-minute game, then today Crystal Palace may usher in their first massacre since they were promoted to the Premier League!

That's right, everyone heard it right, it was the first time to be slaughtered!As we all know, because of the peerless gun of lee, last season, Crystal Palace did not kill the bloodbath.

Could it be that Crystal Palace is really going to respond to that famous warning and come out to mess around today, and will they have to pay back sooner or later? "

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------

The score was just 1-0, and the commentator jk of Sky TV started talking about massacres and bloodbaths!It sounds like his argument is ridiculous, but if Friedman heard this sentence, as the head coach of Crystal Palace, he didn't think the other party was joking.

Yes, it is true that the score is only 1 to 0 now, but anyone with eyes can see it in the past 10 minutes of the game!The reason for Liverpool's success today is not actually their super fighting awareness, but more importantly, it is that they have grasped the lifeblood of Crystal Palace, that is, the prominent incompatibility between Modric and Yaya Toure.

In this game, Crystal Palace 10 out of 9 defensive transitions were all destroyed by Liverpool when Modric and Yaya Toure cooperated, which led to Liverpool's continued pressure on Crystal Palace!

Otherwise, you can't explain why Crystal Palace, which has one more player than the opponent, and Yaya Toure, Modric, Sneijder, Bale, Wright-Phillips, who are heading towards luxury midfielders, will be defeated by Liverpool. We couldn't even make it past halftime!
