Chapter 748 When the champion is in progress (3)
The final battle
For this game, Liverpool players waited for a season, and even at some point in the middle they thought they had no chance. Now, not only do they have this opportunity, but they also have their destiny firmly in their hands. As long as they defeat the relegated team in this game, they can hold the golden trophy in the stands.
The relegation team was the unified name given to Charlton by Liverpool players since they learned that Charlton had received black gold. They looked down on this team very much and wanted to ravage them in the game and shatter their dream of making money. Moreover, the championship trophy is close to you, and you can even look up and see the beautiful patterns on the trophy. This is extremely exciting for Liverpool players, so that they are a little anxious to win.
After Clattenberg's whistle was blown, Charlton was not eager to attack forward. Even forward Darren Bent and front midfielder Zheng Hua were just hovering around Liverpool's 30-meter area, without any intention of stimulating Liverpool.
Charlton accepted black gold, and there were more than one, two, one from Manchester United and the other from Chelsea. Manchester United’s requirement was to at least draw Liverpool, and Chelsea’s requirement was to defeat Liverpool. Charlton people believe that not only them, but Manchester United’s opponent West Ham also accepted Chelsea’s black gold. Although Charlton’s hope of defeating Liverpool and West Ham United against Manchester United is not very high, as long as he pays a small amount of money, he can have one more hope of winning the championship. This is what the rich Chelsea likes to do the most, and paying black gold for winning is similar to the club setting up bonuses for winning. Even if the Football Association knows, it’s no big deal. The FA hits the intentional loss rather than winning. Winning is welcome at any time.
Although Charlton accepted the black gold, Padou was not without self-knowledge. They knew very well how big the gap was between Charlton and Liverpool. In a real battle, Charlton had no chance of winning. If Charlton wanted to win or draw, there was only one tactic, that was defensive counterattack.
The 44ll formation Charlton has arranged today, in fact, only four players are actually investing in the offense: forward Darren Bent, front midfielder Zheng Hua, two full-backs Ambrose and Sam. These four people also have defensive tasks in addition to offense, especially Zheng Hua. Although he is a front midfielder, because he has experienced playing as a back midfielder and a back, Padu asked him to start today to play his role in defense.
Liverpool is not polite if Charlton doesn't attack. They can't wait to end the battle immediately, so as to touch the championship trophy that had been envious for many years. Before the ball could be passed back to Charlton's back line, Liverpool's three forwards arrived at the speed of lightning.
In general games, Crouch did not participate in pressing much. He was too tall, was not fast, and consumed a lot of physical energy, so Benitez did not ask him to press the opponent's defender. However, today, Crouch took the initiative to participate in Liverpool's pressing operation. He, Chen Yu and Kuyt directly pressed Charlton's three defenders, forcing Charlton's defenders to pass the ball to the midfield or kick it.
Charlton has four defenders, Liverpool's forwards, and only three strikers. When Chen Yu, Kuyt and Crouch pressed, Charlton's back line can always leave an open position, but Charlton's central defender does not dare to pass the ball in front of Crouch for a long time, because Crouch is two meters tall and tall and long legs. Once he intercepts the ball, it will undoubtedly be a nightmare for Charlton. As for passing it to the midfield, it will not work. Liverpool's midfield runs a larger range and has richer experience in stealing, so Charlton's defenders can only steadily drive the ball out and throw the ball to Liverpool.
Less than a minute into the game, Charlton defender took a big kick, and the ball was taken by Liverpool's defender, and the ball was easily at the feet of Liverpool players.
The red ocean in the stands couldn't help but roar, as if a hurricane had been swept over the sea. In the eyes of Liverpool fans, Liverpool, who has the right to ball, can immediately crush the small Charlton to pieces.
The mood of Liverpool players is actually similar to that of Liverpool fans. In such an excited environment, people's emotions will be infected. Even people as calm as Chen Yu and Alonso are about to boil in the atmosphere of the manic scene. They are just thinking about immediately crushing this weak team that dares to stop them from winning the championship.
Liverpool's defender passed the ball to Alonso. Alonso did not lead the ball forward without anyone pressing, but passed the ball to Chen Yu, who was the winger at the fastest speed.
If you have an air bully like Crouch in the middle, you will be a fool if you don’t make full use of it. Of course, Benitez will not be a fool. He is a tactical master. He is very clear about the principle of attacking the enemy with his own strengths and weaknesses, so he arranged a 433 formation, making full use of Crouch’s height and Chen Yu’s impact on the wing to attack Charlton’s goal.
It is difficult for Chen Yu to defend from the cross on the side. Even if Charlton invests two players on the side, Chen Yu is able to pass the ball, so Charlton no longer cares about this. They only leave one full-back stuck in the inside line and Chen Yu is not allowed to cut inside. As for crossing, let him go. Anyway, Charlton has deployed heavy troops in the middle. It is too difficult for Crouch to play in the crowd with a thin bamboo pole.
Chen Yu passed the ball out without any obstruction, and the target was Crouch. This guy stood very eye-catching everywhere, completely like a big bamboo pole.
Crouch is very tall, but just like his nickname, Big Bamboo Pole, Crouch is too thin. If he is as strong as Drogba and still so tall, then he will be invincible. But now, Crouch has seen the landing point, and only he can reach it. However, under the clamping of Charlton's two central defenders, Pogra and No. 3 Herdashson, Crouch cannot jump up normally. The two sluts who are impossible to touch the ball pretend to jump up, pushing against him with their bodies and holding him with their arms, so that Crouch can only watch a good opportunity to slip away from his head.
Crouch did not meet, and Gerald, who was in front, had no chance. Kuyt, who was in the back, quickly retreated to the sideline, preparing to stop the ball from the sideline, but the full-back Thatcher, who followed him, did not allow Kuyt to control the ball easily.
Although Kuyt was so strong, Thatcher had a way to deal with Kuyt. He didn't look at the ball flying from the sky, but just stared at Kuyt seriously. When Kuyt jumped up with his feet and was about to stop the ball with his forehead, he jumped hard and hit Kuyt.
Kuyt was almost about to hit the ball, and at this time his body was out of control. The ball rubbed against Kuyt's head and then flew out of the sideline.
"Foofing"
The fans in the stands could see clearly that they were still looking for trouble. At this time, they even shouted loudly and put pressure on the referee Clattenberg. Although it was difficult to let the opponent take the cards, it was very likely to obtain the ball.
However, Clattenberg did not say that he not only did not punish the foul full-back Thatcher, but also sent the ball to Charlton for the out-of-bounds ball.
This made Liverpool fans in the stands angry, and they couldn't help but shout an insulting word "Manchester United Dog".
Although Kratenberg is called Ferguson's referee by the media, he actually has no close relationship with Ferguson. His penalty is beneficial to Manchester United only because he prefers Manchester United and Ferguson. However, now Liverpool fans are humiliating him like this. Kratenberg is a little angry and he decided to be strict with Liverpool.
Charlton's out-of-bounds ball was actually not very useful. The ball was passed at Charlton's player three times and was immediately forced to kick off again. The ball fell to Liverpool's feet without any suspense, and Liverpool launched a new round of attack without any hesitation.
The ball transitioned from the defender to Alonso's feet, and Alonso immediately passed the ball to Chen Yu, continuing to implement the tactics of breaking wildly on the wing and grabbing points in the middle set by coach Benitez.
Chen Yu is bound to the consciousness of intermediate superstar Figo today. This is an all-around midfielder who is good at making trouble on the wing, can also organize in the middle, and can also use goals to solve problems.
The reason why he chose Figo was because Chen Yu expected that the battle with Charlton would definitely be an offensive and defensive battle. Most of his position was fixed around Charlton's penalty area, so the awareness of binding an all-round midfielder would be more threatening.
Seeing the ball coming, Chen Yu did not attack directly to the bottom line because the middle lane was not enough and he lacked confidence in Crouch. Chen Yu wanted to wait for his teammates to press forward. He then made a cross, and the threat might be much greater than his current cross.
Chen Yu had been slowing down for only a few seconds, and full-back Luke Yang and Ambrose came to attack, and Charlton's front midfielder Zheng Hua was also making up for defense here, with the intention of looking to be preparing to cut off Chen Yu and the players behind him.
Chen Yu knew that this was the time for him to break through. At this time, as long as he could break through to the bottom line and cross, there was Crouch's high point in the middle, and Gerald and Mascherano who had forwards, the probability of scoring would definitely be much higher. Even if he couldn't touch the middle point in the front point, Kuyt, who quickly cut in the penalty area, had hope to grab the back point.
Chen Yu made a fake move and quickly moved forward, preparing to use his speed to break the double-team defense between Luke Yang and Ambrose.
Ambrose is a midfielder and his defense ability is worse than that of the defender, but seeing that Chen Yu had the intention of breaking through, he pulled Chen Yu, who had already started, and staggered to the ground.
