Super Marshal

Emotion is a very scary thing. It does not only affect one person, but even affects those around him.

When Inter Milan scored the equalizing goal, every Liverpool player felt a crisis. They originally wanted to win, but became worried about losing, even more than their confidence in seeking a tie.

This is directly reflected on the playing field, that is, every Liverpool player becomes cautious in passing, intercepting, and stealing, for fear that he will accidentally make a mistake, for fear that he will accidentally become the sinner of the team's tragic reversal.

But Inter Milan's morale was boosted and they began to launch waves of threatening offensives.

Benitez made a prompt decision and replaced Hyypia and Finnan to further strengthen the team's defense.

Arbeloa performed very well in this game, freezing Cristiano Ronaldo almost perfectly, but the price paid was also obvious, that is, he received a yellow card and would not be able to participate in the second round of the match between the two teams. , and at the same time, he also exhausted his physical energy early and was forced to substitute early.

The other player who was substituted was Zenden.

The Dutch player's performance in this game was indeed quite good, especially in Liverpool's goal. He played a vital role and worked very hard in the game, but this also caused cramps in his legs and was substituted.

After replacing Hyypia, Liverpool began to adopt a three-centre-back style of play. With Finnan and Riise forming the wings, five defenders and three midfielders, Liverpool deployed eight players in the entire midfield and backcourt. It's a heavy deployment of troops.

But even so, under the fierce attack of Inter Milan, Liverpool's goal was still in danger.

After substitutions and adjustments, everyone in the Red Army calmed down. Every player did not hold back at all and tried their best to stop every attack of Inter Milan. Gerrard returned to the goal many times, and Carragher even more He did not hesitate to use his body to block Inter Milan's shot.

With such tenacious willpower, even Gao Han, his opponent on the sidelines, had to admire him.

This still equalized the score. Without Adriano's goal just now, I'm afraid the game would have been even harder to play.

"After the game, I must have a good drink with Benitez." Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He is still very positive about Benitez, his colleague. Whether he was in Tenerife or later coached Valencia, he admired Benitez's coaching ability very much.

In this game, Liverpool's performance further strengthened his view.

Benitez is definitely one of the top tacticians in European football today.

"He may not be willing to drink with you."

Guardiola on the side listened to Gao Han's words and replied with a wry smile, "I heard that he is not particularly gregarious."

Gao Han also knows this.

Benitez's character is indeed a bit too strong, but this is also normal. However, any head coach like him who is obsessed with tactics and obsessed with his own pursuits will inevitably have stricter requirements on his players, and even They wish the players were just robots, with no emotions and only knowing how to execute.

But this does not hinder Gao Han's positive evaluation of Benitez at all.

"Liverpool was able to win the Champions League back then and is able to reach this point this season. Benitez is indispensable. It's not that they don't have the strength to compete for the Champions League, it's just..."

The cruelty of the Champions League knockout rounds is that not only strong teams can advance, or even have the last laugh.

After all, this is a life-and-death knockout match. Only the team that performs better on the spot can stand out and advance smoothly.

"Don't talk about that stubborn guy, you should think about how to break Liverpool's goal first." Cantarero reminded from the side.

The game is still tied one to one so far. Although it ends with this score, it is also very beneficial to Inter Milan, but Gao Han's winning streak has been shattered. It will definitely become the headlines of the world's media tomorrow.

This is the first time Gao Han has been tied in these years of coaching.

Seeing that Cantarero was so nervous and even more concerned about him than himself, Gao Han shook his head in a funny way.

"Don't be nervous, Carlos, isn't there still more than five minutes?"

"It's weird if you're not nervous," Cantarero replied angrily.

Having followed Gao Han for many years, he also knew that he had not experienced such thrilling victories in the past.

But tonight's opponents are obviously different. They are Benitez and Liverpool. Can they be the same?

Gao Han smiled, entered the coaching system, and took a look at the skill card. The offensive card on Ibrahimovic had less than two minutes left, and the assault card was on Cristiano Ronaldo, assisting When stuck on Recoba, the time is consistent with the attacking card.

Gao Han knows this well. If the time is up and he still hasn't scored a goal, he will upgrade his skill card and strengthen his offensive.

Glancing at the court, Gao Han saw that after Cristiano Ronaldo got the ball, he failed to get rid of Finnan's defense and was forced to pass back. The Portuguese looked a little frustrated.

Tonight, he was first frozen by Arbeloa, and then replaced by Finnan, but his performance did not improve, and he was probably depressed.

"Let Pandev warm up and be ready to play at any time."

After Pandev joined Inter Milan this season, he performed well in many games and was considered a qualified substitute player, which Gao Han attached great importance to.

Cantarero nodded in agreement and turned back to make arrangements.

But at this moment, Yaya Toure passed the ball to Recoba who was cutting in from the right. As soon as the latter received the ball, he made a low ball with his left foot and sent the ball directly into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic's feet.

The Swedish center received the ball with his back, and the ball that came straight to him was like a well-behaved and obedient child, and it was stable as soon as it stopped.

Carragher stood behind Ibrahimovic, and Hyypia was on the side to help defend. Both of them were facing a formidable enemy.

After Ibrahimovic caught the ball, he suddenly took a step back, as if to take him out of the penalty area.

Carragher was afraid of being turned away by him and didn't dare to stick too close to him.

Unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic suddenly turned around and faced Carragher.

Both Carragher and Hyypia were shocked. The former immediately moved forward to block Ibrahimovic's shooting angle. Unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic gently moved to the right. Dial the ball twice.

It was these two shots that confused Carragher and Hyypia, making them mistakenly think that Ibrahimovic wanted to control the ball. Even everyone in the audience, including Gao Han on the sidelines, felt this way.

But suddenly, without any warning, Ibrahimovic suddenly took a big step forward, accelerated to catch up, and started to volley.

The whole process happened in an instant, and neither Carragher nor Hyypia could react in time.

The ball quickly passed by Liverpool's two defensive centre-backs and hit the upper right corner of the goal.

At this time, Reina suddenly reacted, but it was already too late.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"

"In the 85th minute, oh my god, in the 85th minute, all of a sudden Ibrahimovic takes a shot."

"This is definitely a reflection of the player's individual ability. We really can't believe that when Carragher, Hyypia, and Reina behind them almost blocked all shooting angles, Ibrahimovic suddenly Hit a dead end."

"This goal is very similar to Adriano's goal just now. The Brazilian forward hit the upper left corner, but Ibrahimovic hit the upper right corner, but both times were dead ends."

After Ibrahimovic scored, he didn't look excited at all. He just walked to the sidelines in a pretentious manner, opened his arms toward the stands, and his expression was very calm, as if he had just scored an insignificant goal. .

But his teammates behind him rushed forward and hugged him.

No one would have thought that suddenly, the goal would come like this.

Gao Han was also dumbfounded and surprised.

Of course he knows that this is the six-star offensive card at work, but the problem is that the premise for the offensive card to work is that Ibrahimovic must have this strength and this idea.

Faced with such a sudden goal, he could only say that Ibrahimovic's thinking logic is somewhat different from others.

"I guess he won't even score a goal that's not difficult." Gao Han shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Why don't Guardiola and Cantarero feel helpless?

As early as when he was at Chelsea, Gao Han was very familiar with Ibrahimovic and knew this guy's character, but later under Gao Han's training, he really changed a lot.

But there is a saying that goes well, a country can change its nature but its nature cannot be changed. This kid still makes some news and brings some fresh excitement from time to time.

He does have a big heart, though.

Towards the end of the game, he received the ball in the penalty area and dared to do it alone. This definitely requires courage and confidence.

"He is really like a template for a perfect center." Guardiola praised.

Throughout Guardiola's career, he has had an inseparable affection for centers, especially high center forwards with outstanding foot skills like Kluivert and Ibrahimovic. He is even more obsessed with them.

The reason is also very simple. They are all in line with Guardiola's football philosophy, but at the same time they can provide the tactical advantages of traditional high forwards, and their role in the game is indeed quite large.

Among the current centers, Adriano has strong impact and excellent scoring ability, but his role as a tactical fulcrum is weak. Chelsea's Didier Drogba has excellent power confrontation, but his foot skills are rough.

Only Ibrahimovic, this kid is simply perfect.

The moment he stopped the ball with his back to Carragher was very stable, and then he turned around very quickly. Suddenly he stepped forward, and he was able to catch up and hit the goal directly, which greatly surprised Hyypia and Kara. Unexpected.

Judging from the results, both central defenders have problems, especially Carragher, who did not guard Ibrahimovic closely.

But the question is, even if Carragher is close to him, can he defend him?

Ibrahimovic has many precedents of scoring goals by forcing defensive players to get the ball in the penalty area.

It can only be said that facing a player like Ibrahimovic is definitely a nightmare for defensive players.

…………

…………

After Ibrahimovic scored, the game was basically over.

Gao Han then replaced Pandev and Marchisio, using two substitutions to delay time.

But Liverpool suddenly took advantage of Inter Milan's substitutions, disrupted the Nerazzurri's rhythm, got rid of Inter Milan's control, and still stubbornly wanted to fight for opportunities and equalize the score.

The Red Army fought tenaciously until the moment the whistle sounded at the end of the game. Many players such as Gerrard and Carragher collapsed on the grass after the whistle sounded.

They have exhausted their last bit of strength, but they still can't change the ending.

But in the stands of Anfield Stadium, tens of thousands of fans sang the song "You'll Never Walk Alone".

The majestic chorus floated over the Anfield stadium.
