The weather is sunny and the sea breeze is gentle.
Liverpool sounds a bit like Detroit, the car city, but in fact, Liverpool is a port city.
The seaport city sounds romantic, and it is true. The famous Beatles are from Liverpool, the band that sang "Hey Pig~Hey Pig~~" and "Hey Jude".
However, such a romantic city is also one of the origins of the Industrial Revolution.
Romance and industrial revolution, there is no doubt that these are two completely different words, but when combined together, they have a strong and tender flavor.
This is also true. Liverpool fans can accept softer songs like "You'll Never Walk Alone" as the team's anthem, but they are also extremely iron-blooded when dealing with their opponents.
"Get Arsenal out! This is Liverpool! This is Anfield!"
"Gerald will piss your ass off!"
"Chen Mo's legend will come to an end today!"
"Hey! If I say Chen Mo, say NO!"
"Chen——Mo——"
“NO————”
"Chen"
"Haha, Liverpool fans are really excited today. Jianhong, this should be your first time to commentate on the Champions League knockout games."
The majestic Anfield stadium was buzzing with people, and the whole stadium was uniformly saying NO to Chen Mo. This scene also affected the commentator He Wei who was wearing a suit and collar in the corner of the stands.
Hearing his words, his partner Liu Jianhong laughed and said, "Aren't you the same, haha."
"Haha, indeed. Okay, everyone, welcome to the CCTV5 live broadcast room. I am today's football commentator He Wei, and beside me are your old friends Liu Jianhong and Teacher Liu."
"Hello everyone, I am Liu Jianhong. Today's first leg of the 2007-2008 Champions League knockout semi-finals will be brought to you by the two of us."
"That's right. I believe all the fans who are still awake at this point are all very die-hard fans, haha. Okay, let's get to the point. Jianhong, I don't know about this game. What do you think? "
He Wei looked at Liu Jianhong beside him, who smiled and said: "I think it's 50-50. Haha, I'm not trying to hold back. It's mainly based on the staffing of Arsenal and Liverpool and their past style of play. , I think both sides have opportunities.”
"I actually think so too. Since Fabio came to Liverpool last year, Liverpool's formation and style of play have gradually stabilized. It's the diamond-shaped 442 position.
Second forward Torres, high forward Crouch
————High midfielder Sissoko————
——Alonso————Gerrard——
————Xiaofa————
Riise, Agger, Hyypia and Finnan.
This lineup is actually AC Milan's Pirlo playing style of attacking midfielder and back. In my opinion, regardless of the upper limit of strength, only talking about the versatility of the players, Liverpool's lineup is even more balanced than AC Milan back then. Almighty. "
He Wei spoke eloquently, and Liu Jianhong nodded: "Yes, the key point is that the three players, Alonso and Gerrard, can constantly change positions.
You see AC Milan was Pirlo, Gattuso and Seedorf. Gattuso is a pure blue-collar player. Seedorf can organize the offense but is not strong in defense and cannot stand in the midfielder position.
So this led to the fact that after Pirlo was forced by Chen Mo in the defensive midfielder position, Pirlo could only switch positions with Gattuso, but Gattuso did not have the ability to pass the ball. When he went to the defensive midfielder position, he simply swept the interception. Chen Mo didn't even need to worry about his waist, he couldn't cause any damage.
But this Liverpool is different. Fabregas' normal position is in the midfielder. If Chen Mo wants to defend, Fabregas can switch positions with either Gerrard or Alonso at any time.
Gerrard's defensive ability is much better than Seedorf's. Although the defensive midfield position is not very suitable for his style, he can still make a cameo. Although Alonso's strangulation ability is not as good as Gattuso's, his long passes are accurate, and he can still provide a lot of threats after moving to the midfielder position.
Even speaking of attacking midfielder Sissoko, he can also play left or right, and Fabregas can also push forward.
This will give rise to a situation, that is, I don’t know if you have seen a movie, where a bug crawls into a person’s body and crawls under the skin. If you grab your left hand, it will run to your right hand. If you grab your right hand, it will run away. Feet up.
It is difficult for Arsenal to grasp where the core of Liverpool's offense is, because Liverpool's core of offense is constantly moving, and this movement will continue to pull Arsenal's formation. "
Liu Jianhong rambled, and He Wei smiled and said: "You are right, versatility and balance are synonymous with this Liverpool team. And there is another key point. Liverpool's attacking midfielder Sissoko is 1.91 meters tall!
And it’s not just Sissoko, Liverpool’s high forward Crouch is 2.01 meters tall! Arsenal's defensive midfielder Javier Mascherano is only 1.74 meters tall! How can Arsenal defend against Liverpool's high ball? They will play more uncomfortable than that game against Inter Milan! "
"Yes, it is difficult for Arsenal to defend against Liverpool's offense, so the key to this game is ball possession! Liverpool's offense is more of a headache for Arsenal than Inter Milan, but accordingly, Inter Milan's sacrifice on the offensive end is in exchange for The three midfielders are holding back, and Liverpool does not have three midfielders. With Chen Mo's ability, as long as Arsenal can control more of the ball, this game will be easy."
"That's right. Okay, after listening to what I have said, the audience must not be able to wait anymore. Now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's hand over the cameras to the scene!"
.
The sky is clear and clear, and the air is filled with the fragrance of earth and grass.
"It's not easy to play. However, it should feel much more comfortable than playing against Inter Milan."
Just after tossing the coin, Chen Mo, wearing a white away jersey, stood nearby and moved his shoulders from side to side, staring at Xiaofa not far away.
The commentator felt that Arsenal would be more difficult to play in this game than when they played Inter Milan, but in fact, in his eyes, this game was actually easier.
the reason is simple.
They can attack in this game.
The game against Inter Milan really disgusted him. Three historical midfielders were standing in the middle. Chen Mo was a god and couldn't move him, but this game was different.
Football has always been difficult to have both offense and defense. Even if they are Barcelona, they use possession of the ball instead of defense.
Although Liverpool's offense and overall team operation were stronger than Inter Milan at the time, Chen Mo was also liberated accordingly.
Looking at Xiaofa, he kept thinking in his mind, but at this moment, he seemed to feel his gaze, and Xiaofa turned around and winked teasingly.
"Teasing me? Don't cry later, you guy."
After being interacted with by his old friend, Chen Mo's lips unconsciously curled up into a smile, and he made a "wowo" mouth shape.
Xiaofa rolled his eyes and prepared to fight back, but at this moment, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Wearing a white jersey, Arsenal kicked off and attacked from left to right.
Damn it! If I can keep up the pace of writing this chapter all day long, I can definitely make 20,000 a day!
