Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liverpool didn't expect Marseille to play so decisively and toughly. Not only did they not give their opponents a blow after the start, but they almost let Marseille give themselves a blow.  It doesn¡¯t matter if the momentum does not overwhelm the opponent. After all, the strength is still there and there is a home field advantage. However, being controlled by Marseille in the midfield gives Benitez a headache.  The midfielder is like a person's waist. Both offense and defense depend on it. That's why it is said that the midfielder wins the world. If the midfielder is controlled by the opponent, it is almost equal to the fate being in the hands of others. Unless you insist on playing hard, the midfielder is like a person's waist.  Counterattack, but Liverpool's strength and reputation are stronger than Marseille's, and they are still playing at home. Defensive counterattacks are definitely not allowed. Otherwise, even if they win, the fans and media will probably boo.  Since they can't defend and counterattack, they can only fight hard in the midfield. However, Liverpool's skills are not better than Marseille's. They are physically stronger than their opponents. Under Marseille's efforts, they don't seem to have much advantage. The most important thing is that Marseille is more competitive in the midfield.  Liverpool has one more player, but they already have a large number of people, and they are so active in running. It makes Liverpool's midfielders anxious but unable to change the situation of the midfield being restricted.  Benitez saw that the start was not going well and was anxious, but he had no good moves. It had just begun. He could not make any tactical adjustments or substitutions. He could only patiently observe and see if the players could  Adjust yourself, get back the feeling of the game, and break the unfavorable situation on the court.  Marseille's head coach Gretz is not happy just because Marseille dominates the midfield. He is very aware of the strength comparison between Marseille and Liverpool. He knows that the reason for playing so well at the beginning is not how strong Marseille is, but because of himself.  The players performed actively today and entered the game quickly. In addition, they arranged five people in the midfield. The numerical advantage also played a big role. However, how long this advantage can last, even Gretz does not know.  Clearly, all he can do, like Benitez, is wait.  This start made the Liverpool fans in the stands a little disappointed. Although Marseille is famous in the history of Ligue 1, Marseille is now a declining aristocracy in Ligue 1. It is difficult to even enter the Champions League. Compared with Liverpool, there is a gap  It was huge. Liverpool fans thought they would overpower Marseille at the beginning, then take the lead easily, and finally win with an advantage of more than two goals. However, the reality surprised them. Liverpool not only failed to take advantage, but fell into a disadvantage. The team's  The three lines were cut off in the middle, and the forwards had to rely on long passes from the back line to get the ball. The game was played very passively.  The fans of Marseille were overjoyed. Although they were diehard fans of Marseille, they did not dare to expect how well Marseille could play at Anfield when they came. After all, the gap in strength was there, but Marseille's performance made them happy.  Ruo Kuang, this is still Marseille, which has been losing consecutive games in the league. It is simply a giant on the same level as Liverpool.  In excitement, the Marseille fans desperately applauded the players and shouted the names of Zenden, Cisse and other outstanding players, but they soon discovered that their voices could not be heard at all.  In front of the fans, their voices are not much louder than the buzzing of flies. Although the Marseille players perform better than the Liverpool players on the pitch, in the stands, the Liverpool fans crush them.  The game lasted eight minutes before Liverpool had its first shot.  This was the first time that Liverpool midfielder Benayoun got rid of Cenden and gave Chen Yu a short pass. Chen Yu was double-teamed even worse today. Crouch could not share the pressure with him. Benayoun passed the ball.  After that, Chen Yu didn't even look at the goal. He pulled the ball, turned around, raised his foot and shot.  Although there was not much movement, and the shooting position was 256 meters away from the goal, Chen Yu was so explosive that the ball was not weak at all, and it went straight to the upper left of the goal.  Although Marseille goalkeeper Mandanna had nothing to do in the first eight minutes, he was highly focused today. Chen Yu¡¯s cold shot did not escape his eyes. The moment Chen Yu took off, he had already jumped out and saved it.  Mandana blocked the ball out of the baseline with his fingers. After it landed, Mandana secretly rejoiced. If he didn't concentrate enough, Liverpool's first shot might have been scored.  Marseille's first shot came in the 12th minute. The midfield advantage gave Marseille more opportunities to pass the ball to the forwards than Liverpool did. Ziani finally penetrated Liverpool's goal with his third through ball.  After layers of blockade, the ball passed to the feet of forward Cisse.  Cisse is actually a striker with very good shooting skills. He scored 24 goals in more than 70 games in three years at Liverpool. In the era of "weak forwards" in Liverpool, Cisse played at the center position and had the highest scoring rate.  player, but Benitez always puts him in the right wing position. This is a waste for Cisse, who is good at attacking and grabbing points to shoot immediately, but the stubborn Benitez insists on him.  Be a blue collar passerAnd Cisse is not as versatile as Chen Yu. Of course he looks like a waste, and in the end he can only be sold to Marseille.  Cisse took the ball with his back to the goal on the penalty area line. Behind him was Liverpool defender Carragher, but Carragher was almost two meters away from him. This gave Cisse room to make moves. He did not stop the ball.  Instead, he pulled the ball and turned around, entering the penalty area first, so that Carragher did not dare to foul, and then raised his foot to shoot the ball towards the far corner of the goal.  Both of Cisse's actions were very beautiful and did not waste any time, but Reina, who was standing as the Liverpool goalkeeper, was his former teammate. The two had had countless confrontations on the training ground. For him, Reina  The familiar couldn't be more familiar. When he pulled the ball into the penalty area, Reina had already attacked. When Cisse shot, Reina saved it. As soon as the ball left Cisse's feet, he hugged the ball.  In his arms.  This was the first time that the two teams entered the opponent's penalty area after playing for more than ten minutes. Liverpool fans were shocked at the time, but Reina's timely and decisive attack prevented the Liverpool goal from falling.  The performance also won warm applause from Liverpool fans.  Seeing Marseille actually forming a shooting opportunity in the penalty area, Benitez was very nervous. He shouted at the Liverpool players: "Seal the penalty area and prevent him from receiving the ball!" Benitez said this "He  "Of course it's Cisse. When he was at Liverpool, Benitez and Cisse had conflicts. Now he knows that Cisse wants to perform, but Benitez can't let him perform, because Cisse performs well because of  Hit him in the face.  At their home court, in front of tens of thousands of fans, even if Benitez didn't say anything, Liverpool's players would not let Marseille penetrate into their penalty area again. After Cisse's shot, Liverpool's midfielders Alonso and Mas  Celano's position was lowered, closer to the two central defenders, further compressing Cisse's space for movement, and it became very difficult for Cisse to get the ball.  Both Liverpool and Marseille have strengthened their control of the midfield. It has become very difficult for the ball to pass through the midfield from the ground. The error rate of long passes is too high, which is almost equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent, so the competition in the midfield has become  The highlight of the game came after more than ten minutes.  Players on both sides competed for it. The ball had just been intercepted and was immediately destroyed by the opponent before the ball was passed. Not only could the ball not be passed, but the physical contact between the two sides was also very severe. From time to time, people fell on their backs.  The referee Austrian Plauts was extremely busy and issued yellow cards continuously, but he still could not reduce the number of fouls in the midfield.  Although the game was very fierce, both sides were able to attack the opponent's penalty area very rarely, and there were no threatening shots. From the first shot of each side until the 35th minute, the two teams did not shoot a shot.  Within goal range.  In the 35th minute of the game, Marseille suddenly launched a long pass. Nasri did not know when he inserted the ball diagonally to the left wing. He picked the ball past Finnan and swept the ball towards the penalty area near the baseline.  Cisse quickly inserted into the penalty area from the center when Nasri was in the bottom line. With such a large space in the penalty area, no one can stop Cisse from running without the ball. They can only block important positions and increase the chances of Cisse and Marseille players grabbing points.  difficulty.  However, Marseille¡¯s offense has been rehearsed countless times. Liverpool¡¯s players thought they had stuck the key point, but the ball was so fast that neither the players in the front nor the middle were able to grab the landing point, and the ball flew straight to the back point.  Cisse happened to run towards the back point. He fell to the ground three meters away from the goal and took a shot. The ball flew against the turf towards the near corner.  When Cisse fell to the ground and tackled the shot, he didn't even pay attention to goalkeeper Reina. He was too fast and he couldn't make it in time. However, he felt that the ball was almost there. It was too close. As long as it was in the goal frame, no one could react.  But after the ball flew out, Cisse suddenly felt like a dog, because goalkeeper Reina unknowingly stood at the near corner again, and the ball hit his leg and bounced out.  This is not because Reina¡¯s judgment of the ball path is better than that of defenders and forwards, but Reina knows Cisse too well. When he was looking at the ball, he was still looking at Cisse with the corner of his eye, so he was able to win in the first place.  For a moment, it blocked Cisse's shooting angle.  However, Reina just passively blocked the ball with his legs. The direction and force of the ball bounced were random. The ball just hit the feet of Marseille midfielder Ziani who had just inserted into the penalty area. Ziani subconsciously used his feet.  With one push, the ball flew into the empty net.  Ziani did not expect that pie would fall from the sky. He covered his head with his jersey in excitement, raised his arms and ran out of the field, completely unaware that the assistant referee had raised the offside flag at this time.  The other players in Marseille suddenly fell from the peak of joy to the bottom, and their anger was uncontrollable. They rushed to the assistant referee and asked him why he was called offside.  The assistant referee ignored him and the referee??Plautz quickly came over to support the assistant referee, signaling that the offside penalty was valid and letting the Marseille players disperse.  At this time, Ziani also felt that something was wrong, because he heard applause like a roaring mountain and a tsunami. Such loud applause must not be from Marseille fans. He put down his jersey and took a look and found that his teammates were surrounding the assistant referee. Immediately  Understanding what was going on, he rushed over angrily and said to the assistant referee and the head referee: "It was offside at some point. There were people in front of me when I shot." No matter how Ziani defended it, the head referee Plau  Of course Ci ignored it. Not to mention that he didn't think the assistant referee made a misjudgment. Even if it was a misjudgment, he must persist. If the referee's authority cannot be maintained, the game will not proceed smoothly.  Seeing that the referee was ignoring him, Ziani became more and more excited as he spoke. Regardless of the obstruction of his teammates, he reached out and pushed the assistant referee. The assistant referee staggered due to the push. This angered the referee Plautz, who  He immediately took out the yellow card and warned Ziani.  Qianni was unconvinced and wanted to defend himself. Team captains Kana and Zenden were worried that he would get another yellow card, so they quickly took him away.
