After the game started, Robbie Keane, who was standing in the center circle of the court, immediately passed the ball back to Carrick behind him, and then ran forward - after two official games, little Keane was very interested in him. Now we have a general understanding of Tottenham's positioning, and they have kept George's pre-game arrangements in mind. Therefore, he knows what should be done most at this time.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, according to George's pre-match arrangement, Tottenham players took advantage of the opportunity when the game had just started and the Liverpool players had not fully entered the state to launch an offensive-if they could steal from Liverpool at the beginning of the game, If a goal is scored, Tottenham can have a very dreamy start. After taking the initiative in the game, they can safely fight the Red Army's counterattack.
Faced with Tottenham's opening offensive, Liverpool players also reacted very quickly. Gerrard immediately attached himself to Robbie Keane and refused to give him any room to play; on the other hand, Hamann was also following Luca Toni at every step. For this man who just passed his thirties yesterday, For the German midfielder who is 10 years old, Toni, who is strong but slightly slower, is obviously more suitable for him to defend.
At the same time, Bierovka, who was wandering on the wing, was also entangled by Murphy and Finnan. Just like that, before Carrick could organize an offensive, Tottenham's frontcourt players were all stared at by Liverpool, and for a while they couldn't find a suitable offensive route at all!
Seeing the Liverpool players reacting so quickly, George, who was sitting on the coaching bench, couldn't help but "tsk" with regret and said to Cristiano Ronaldo next to him: "Chris (Cristiano Ronaldo), do you see that? If you want to join the team as soon as possible, Playing the main role, strengthening your sense of teamwork and scoring ability are just two of the more important aspects. The most important thing is that you must have a strong body. Otherwise, with your small arms and legs, you will be beaten by that guy Rise If he gets hit, he'll probably have to stay in the hospital for ten days and a half."
Just like in his previous life, Cristiano Ronaldo is still just a little guy with only one season of professional league experience. Although he has honed good personal skills at Sporting Lisbon, he is still a rough diamond that needs to be refined in many aspects, especially in terms of physical fitness.
After all, in modern football, where competition is becoming more and more intense, especially in the Premier League, which emphasizes physical confrontation, even technical players must ensure that they cannot easily suffer in physical confrontation. Otherwise, before they can make technical moves, the players defending them can use their physical advantages to force them to be unable to perform their skills, and then steal the ball at their feet!
Therefore, if we put Roberto Baggio or Davo Suker in 2016, I am afraid they will not be able to get away with it. Because at that time, with the exception of goalkeepers, almost every player in the teams in the four major leagues could run an average of 10 kilometers or more per game, and the confrontations were more intense. Running distances like Baggio and Suker Few players can easily become surrounded by opponents.
"Boss, don't worry. From today on, I will go to the gym every day to exercise my muscles!" Looking at Bieroff, who struggled to get rid of the ball under the attack of two big men, Danny Murphy and Finnan. Cristiano Ronaldo felt like he was sweating all over his body, and quickly assured George, "But boss, I think you'd better arrange a professional physical trainer for me, so that I won't suffer from the wrong training methods or... It’s not scientific enough and takes many detours.”
"Well, I can agree to this request." Hearing Ronaldo's statement, George nodded with satisfaction. After all, Ronaldo is almost like a little brother to George. Therefore, as long as Ronaldo's request is reasonable, George doesn't mind giving him more tricks. Moreover, George is also very relieved about Ronaldo's professional attitude. Therefore, George believes that if he sends a physical trainer to Ronaldo, this kid will definitely squeeze out the value of this arrangement to the maximum before giving up.
While George was educating Ronaldo, the confrontation between the starting players of Tottenham and Liverpool became increasingly fierce. However, since both George and Houllier focused on defensive counterattacks and deployed heavy troops in their own half, which reduced the team's investment in the offensive end, although the confrontation between the players was fierce, they did not create many scoring opportunities. , and even the number of shots is very few!
"These Liverpool players are really annoying. Is it interesting to park a bus in front of their house every day?" He finally received the pass from Bierovka, but he lost the ball due to Hyypia's pressing and Gerrard's help. , Robbie Keane couldn't help but complained in a low voice. What he hated most was this kind of opponent whose defense was airtight.
As the leading striker of the Irish national team, Robbie Keane has superb shooting skills, diligent running, and can play an extremely obvious role in an open environment. However, Keane also has a weakness, that is, he is very bad at dealing with such intensive defensive situations. Once he encounters a team with this style of play, Keane will basically become invisible unless there is a teammate who is smart enough to support him.
This can be seen from Robbie Keane's two best periods in his previous life, the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and the 2006-07 season. In the World Cup in Korea and Japan, Keane had Duff, who was full of aura and not suffering from injuries, delivering cannonballs behind him; and in the 2006-07 season, Keane had the "dashing brother" Berbatov with excellent skills and top-notch support. Partner with him. Therefore, during these two periods, Robbie Keane performed at the peak of his career, and he was able to perform well even against the superb Kahn and the German team that won the World Cup runner-up that year. And when Keane played for Inter Milan and Liverpool, he himself was not taken seriously, and at the same time he lacked such teammates around him, and even needed him to be a wedding dress for others, the Irish's performance was basically disastrous.
It is a pity that Robbie Keane currently lacks such a teammate. The creativity and personal skills of Drogba and Luca Toni on the front line are not enough to provide this kind of support, so they are basically not considered; Darren Anderton is a traditional wing midfielder, and his breakthrough and cross passing skills are his key. Bierovka's old profession; Bielovka does have aura, but the German has not completely recovered from the shadow of playing in Leverkusen last season, and he cannot be counted on at this time. Therefore, under such circumstances, facing Liverpool's intensive defense, it is naturally difficult for Robbie Keane to get enough space to play.
Although Keane failed to control the ball under the defense of Liverpool players, causing Tottenham's offensive to end in vain again, Liverpool also failed to launch their familiar quick counterattack - Gerrard got the ball and handed it to the left wing Riise, but the Norwegian's cross to Heskey was destroyed out of the penalty area by Ledley King, and Liverpool's counterattack also failed to succeed.
If the style of the game is one attack and one defense, then this game will naturally be full of excitement. However, when both teams on the field focus on defensive counterattacks, you can naturally imagine how boring this game is. Unfortunately, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are both defensive and counterattack teams!
Therefore, like the previous scene, one side's attack was destroyed by the opponent before it had time to start, and the other side's counterattack was aborted due to too few troops invested just after it was launched. This was not uncommon throughout the first half of the game. The head coaches of both sides assembled heavy troops in their own half and laid out heavy defense lines, over-emphasized the stability of their own defense, and only invested a small amount of troops on the offensive end, which naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the fans at the scene. So, as time passed, bursts of boos began to be heard from the stands at Anfield Stadium. And most of the boos were given to George and Houllier sitting on the coaching bench!
Although being booed by fans is a very embarrassing thing for anyone, George will not change his mind because of the boos coming from the stands. After all, even though George is also being booed now, Houllier's side is definitely under the greatest pressure. After all, this is Liverpool's home court. Taking away a point from here is enough to satisfy Tottenham fans. And if Houllier can't bring a victory to the team in this game... Haha, then the league will The reality of not winning in three rounds is enough to trigger Houllier's coaching crisis.
It wasn't until the end of the first half that this somewhat lethargic defensive battle made a splash - in the 43rd minute of the game, the Tottenham team suddenly showed up at George's signal. The pressing tactics caught the Liverpool players who were organizing the offensive off guard. Gerrard, who was controlling the ball in the backcourt, was forced to pass back under the crazy pressing of Carrick and Mascherano, but he failed to prevent Robbie Keane, who was ambushing at the side, from intercepting the pass midway!
Keane didn't hesitate at all when he got the ball. After dodging Henkez's flying dive, he immediately accelerated towards the Liverpool gate! Immediately afterwards, during the sprint, Keane also played a standard two-on-one coordination with Tony, successfully breaking through Hyypia's defense, single-handedly!
The next thing is very simple. Although Robbie Keane doesn't have many options when facing dense defense, his scoring efficiency has always been very impressive with single-handed goals like this. So, facing Dudek who was forced to abandon the goal, Robbie Keane gently moved the ball to the outside with his right foot, rushed past the Polish goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal. Than zero!
