However, Benitez changed the topic: "He is still a little immature and not suitable for starting in the league."
hehe
Li Tiancheng laughed a little while watching Benitez chatting on TV. It's really something he can do. He always pours cold water on people when they are happiest.
But this is Mailer's business. He needs to solve many problems now, so he better not worry about it.
How to deal with foul tactics?
Of course, the best thing is to prevent the opponent from committing frequent fouls. In the last game, he took six direct free kicks, four of which hit the goal frame, but all of them were turned away. This is really damn good!
The level of free kicks needs to be improved.
The other is to strengthen running and pass quickly so as not to give the opponent time to react.
On the one hand, it is to strengthen the tacit understanding of cooperation with teammates.
On the other hand, movement selection must also be optimized, at least to be able to appear in more dangerous areas, leaving opponents helpless.
Well, this also requires more training.
We still need to find Paco and the others to study the training plan.
But the most important thing is the mentality. How to keep the mentality stable even when being hit by small moves, fouls and trash talk. This is the most important thing.
If he could keep his mentality stable, at least the quality of the free kicks would not be so bad, and none of them would be successful.
It was different from the game against Millwall. At that time, I was angry. I stayed calm in the anger. It was very familiar to me and I was familiar with it. Even if I got angry, I could control it.
But it's different now, it's so annoying, it's just easy to talk about the fouls, little tricks are everywhere, and trash talk is everywhere, it's just crazy.
It would be great if you could keep calm at all times, so that even if you are in a bad state, you won't lose your level, and at least you can maintain a certain bottom line.
Mr. Yang actually gave some advice on meditation and the Jingjing Sutra. It was a joke. He was so distracted when he sat in meditation, how to meditate.
As for chanting sutras, let’s give it a try. I guess it won’t be of much use to me. The seniors are highly cultivated and can practice these things. Can I really do it myself?
Give it a try, after all it was Mr. Yang who said it.
Li Tiancheng rearranged his schedule and arrived at the Crystal Palace before he felt anything.
On November 11, in the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool faced Crystal Palace at home.
In the past six rounds of the league, Crystal Palace has four wins, one draw and one loss, which is a very good result. It quickly got out of the relegation zone and swept away the haze of one draw and five losses in the first six rounds.
Especially in the last round of the league, against Arsenal, if it weren't for Henry's last-minute goal, they would have won.
At this time, we were visiting Anfield. In view of Liverpool's miserable situation and our own team was in great form, of course we were eyeing the game and trying to get all three points.
The same goes for Liverpool. If they still want to compete for the championship, they cannot continue to lose points. In addition, the main players have finally rested for a few days, which can be regarded as a breath of relief, but they do not intend to let their home court fall again.
In this campaign, Benitez continued 4231.
Baros returned from injury and was at the front, with Kewell supporting from behind, and Garcia on the right.
On the left is Li Tiancheng. Although he failed to win in the last round of the league, Benitez still chose to continue to start Li Tiancheng, but his position was once again on the forward line.
Riise dropped back to left-back.
The remaining positions remain unchanged, with Hyypia, Carragher and Josemi in stable positions.
Kirkland is still the main goalkeeper.
It was not surprising that Crystal Palace took advantage of the kick-off to launch an offensive. What was surprising was that their offensive came one after another, suppressing Liverpool for a while.
Liverpool were busy but not in a hurry. They really didn't have anyone to worry about in frontal defense. After they regained their composure, they started to counterattack.
Li Tiancheng likes this scene. At this time, there is no small movement to harass, he catches the ball, turns around and rushes straight into the opponent's ribs.
Behind him, Rise had already gone straight to the baseline and took away a defender. Li Tiancheng dribbled the ball at high speed, touched the ball with the inside of his left foot, followed up with his left foot and crossed the football, and immediately moved the ball with the outside of his right foot and cut into the ribs.
As if facing a formidable enemy, the Crystal Palace quickly began to encircle them.
Facing a block, Li Tiancheng passed the ball to the top of the penalty area and accelerated to insert himself.
Then he found that Crystal Palace goalkeeper Julian dived across the ball, grabbed the ball in his hand, and looked back at Baros in shock.
Brother, why are you in such a hurry that you actually shoot the ball directly? Be patient and pass the ball, isn't it?
Seeing Baros raising his hand to indicate that it was his problem, Li Tiancheng smacked his lips and said nothing. This guy was under a lot of pressure and it was understandable that he was anxious to score.
The attack failed. Liverpool quickly positioned themselves and waited for Crystal Palace to attack. Li Tiancheng did not have much confidence in his one-on-one defense, but he still concentrated on analyzing Crystal Palace's offensive line and actively making up for his own loopholes.
Sometimes blocking the opponent's passing route and slowing down the opponent's attack speed is enough for your teammates to move into position to defend.
Liverpool's defense is layered, and Crystal Palace's offensive momentum cannot be sustained. As its physical strength weakens, it is inevitable to fall back.
Liverpool's formation naturally expanded forward, but they did not take advantage of the situation to attack.
At this time, Li Tiancheng began to practice changing positions with Garcia and Cowell.
This is the correct way to open the ball. I haven’t played football so freely for a long time.
Li Tiancheng kept changing positions to the center and right. It became exponentially more difficult for Crystal Palace to keep him in check, and it also became very difficult to foul and harass him.
This time Li Tiancheng cut from the right to the center and crossed paths with Garcia in the ribs. Alonso passed the ball forward in time.
Li Tiancheng caught the ball at the edge of the penalty area, hit someone with the ball laterally and continued walking towards the middle.
Seeing the opponent's defender Popovich coming up to block his shooting path, Li Tiancheng faked a shot with his left foot, but after it fell, the ball continued to be pushed with his left foot.
Popovich tried to block the hole of the gun. Seeing this situation, he moved his body vigorously and continued to block it. Unexpectedly, this was also a fake move.
Li Tiancheng raised his left foot and crossed the football. After falling, he knocked the ball with his heel. The football went straight from behind his right foot into the penalty area along the path that Popovich had just given way to.
Baros stepped forward to catch the ball and fell down!
You...
The referee believed that Boyce committed a foul by pushing someone.
Fortunately, a penalty kick.
Baros made it in one go, 1:0!
Crystal Palace players were very angry about this. They thought Baros had dived.
Li Tiancheng was very satisfied. It didn't matter if he lost the assist, as long as Baros scored.
Scoring a goal just after returning from injury will definitely play a positive role in Baros' recovery.
A striker in excellent form is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for Liverpool to compete for the league championship.
There has been no league championship for fifteen years, which is a long enough time...
The angry Crystal Palace took advantage of the kick-off to launch a counterattack, and they chose to attack Liverpool's right flank.
Josemi was in a hurry, which actually allowed them to create several threats, and Liverpool's defense seemed to be in danger for a while.
But Liverpool also had a chance to counterattack. After receiving the pass from Riise, Li Tiancheng dribbled the ball all the way. After attracting the crowd, he promptly distributed the ball to the center.
Kewell received the ball and stuffed it into the penalty area. Baros moved forward to receive the ball at high speed, and it was Boyce again. This guy put a shovel in the penalty area and directly knocked Baros down!
