    Marseille's goal was canceled and Ziani received a yellow card. This had a certain impact on Marseille's morale. The Liverpool people took the opportunity to launch a counterattack in an attempt to regain control of the midfield.  Alonso is not fast enough, and if the overall formation does not move up, he will not dare to go up easily. At this time, Mascherano and Benayoun became the vanguard, and they took the lead towards Marseille's half, one after the other.  Attack.  Benayoun has always been frustrated in front of Zenden and has few chances to break through. This time he got the support of Mascherano, who rushed towards Zenden with the ball very resolutely.  Zenden has already built up his confidence in Benayoun. When he saw Benayoun bringing the ball, he did not ask his teammates to come up to help. While he was approaching, he asked his teammates to cut off Benayoun's passing line.  Benayoun¡¯s technique and speed are both good. He shook his upper body twice in a row and immediately started to quickly prepare to break through Cenden from one side.  Cen Deng was not busy running with Benayoun. He first pulled Benayoun with his arm to stop Benayoun from gaining speed, and then quickly leaned over to find a physical confrontation. In the previous encounters between the two, Cen Deng was  It was through physical confrontation that destroyed Benayoun's offense.  As soon as Benayoun saw that he could not completely put Cenden away, he knew that the ball could not be passed. In terms of physical strength, he was definitely not as good as Cenden. Even if he struggled for a while, the Marseille players would surround him. At this time, Benayoun  He did not continue to control the ball like the previous few times and quickly passed the ball to Mascherano who was following.  If Cenden had not cut off Benayoun's passing line just now, other Marseille players would definitely have come over to double-team, or at least move this way. But if Cenden wanted to duel with Benayoun, the Marseille players would have gone  The passing line between Benayoun and other players was cut off. When Benayoun passed the ball to Mascherano, Marseille captain Cana suddenly burst out and stole the ball before Mascherano got it.  Mascherano counterattacked on the spot, and Cana handled the ball quickly and quickly passed the ball to his teammate Nasri, hoping to let his offensive engine handle the ball.  The mantis fluttered behind the sparrow. Cana intercepted the ball and passed it, avoiding Mascherano's counterattack. He was feeling happy when he suddenly found a Liverpool player running out from behind Nasri and stretched out his foot to steal the ball.  Come down.  ?It was Chen Yu who stole the ball. He had very little time to get the ball in front. Crouch was too tall and was not suitable for returning to defense. It would be a waste for the two of them to stay in front. Chen Yu had a lot of time to return to the midfield.  He just saw Kana stealing the ball, and he guessed that Kana would pass it to Nasri, who was in a good position and was good at attacking, so he ran ahead and stole the ball.  Chen Yu is the number one enemy in the hearts of the Marseille people. As soon as he got the ball, all the Marseille people became nervous, and the nearby Marseille players invariably surrounded Chen Yu.  Seeing so many people rushing toward him, Chen Yu was surprised and a little proud. Marseille seemed too afraid of him.  It was difficult to pass the ball, so he picked up the ball and lobbed it to Crouch at the first opportunity.  After passing the ball, Chen Yu ran quickly and wanted to play a wall-type cooperation with Crouch.  Crouch started today to be a bridgehead, not to score goals. Seeing Chen Yu passing the ball, Crouch did not hesitate to use his height to header the ball towards Chen Yu's running route.  superior.  Chen Yu is very fast, and his running without the ball is almost unstoppable. In the blink of an eye, he breaks through the circle of midfielders and gets the ball at the front of the penalty area.  Without exception, this time the Marseille players once again gave up their defense against other players and surrounded Chen Yu who was holding the ball.  The only objects Chen Yu can pass the ball to at this moment are Crouch and Benayoun on the wing. However, Benayoun is positioned further back. After Chen Yu passes the ball to him, he has to wait for him to run over from the wing. Although Benayoun runs  It only took two seconds to reach the bottom line, but at this time, he could not wait for one second. One second was enough for the Marseille players to return to the penalty area. Chen Yu decisively rubbed the ball towards the penalty area, letting  Crouch goes for the header.  After the ferry, Crouch quickly ran to the penalty area. Chen Yu passed the ball into the penalty area, and his men also arrived. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Mandanna, Crouch headed the ball a little, and the ball went from Mandanna's ribs.  It flew into the net.  But just when Crouch ran towards Chen Yu to celebrate, he found that the linesman had raised his flag and the referee was waving at him.  "Offside?" Crouch was angry. He felt that he was not offside.  "Where did I f****** offside?!" Crouch roared at the referee. Chen Yu also looked at the referee Plautz in confusion. He was worried that Plautz had just ruled Marseille offside.  Ball, this time is trying to find balance.  The referee Plauts was unwilling to explain to them. He only said "obey the referee's decision" and thenIt's open.  Crouch wanted to continue his defense, but Chen Yu quickly stopped him, "Okay, okay, stop talking. If you want to get red and yellow cards, then continue." Crouch has not lost his mind yet and accepted the reality of offside.  , did not continue to anger the referee.  The game continued, and the two sides continued to strangle in the midfield. After Chen Yu frequently retreated to the midfield, Liverpool improved their passive situation. Although they could not be said to have the upper hand, they were at least on par with Marseille. However, after Chen Yu retreated,  It is far away from the goal and cannot directly launch an offensive. The threat to Marseille's goal is reduced, and it does not create several shooting opportunities.  Marseille's main energy is spent on controlling the midfield. The purpose is actually to cut off the connection between Liverpool's midfielder and forward, and the midfielder and defender. As for the offense, since Liverpool's defender does not provide many assists, most of them  Maintaining a complete defense line most of the time, they did not have another chance to shoot in Liverpool's penalty area. The only few shots they had were long shots that did not hit the goal frame.  The two sides fought very fiercely in the first half, but no one could do anything to the other and could only shake hands and make peace.  When the players from both sides came off the field, Liverpool fans were not very satisfied with the game, but they still applauded their players and sent them back to the locker room to rest.  The players were not satisfied with their performance. When they went back to the locker room to rest, they kept discussing the problems in the game. Coach Benitez did not go back until the players returned to the locker room for about five minutes.  Benitez did not directly criticize the players' performance in the first half, but said that the players struggled too much in the midfield in the first half and did not hand the ball smoothly to the strikers. This was the main reason for the passive performance in the first half.  , because after losing Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield has no advantage. Marseille's midfield has another player. It is too difficult for Liverpool to control the midfield.  Benitez made a tactical adjustment to allow Liverpool to avoid the entanglement in the midfield in the second half and launch attacks from both wings. If the wings are blocked, they will launch more long-pass attacks. Even if the efficiency is not high, they still have to try.  Liverpool is stronger than Marseille in the forward line. They must give full play to Chen Yu's scoring ability and let him face the goal directly.  In addition, Benitez criticized Liverpool's players without naming them for having too few restrictions on Cisse, Zenden, and Cheroux. The activity of the three of them was the main reason why Liverpool was very passive during the opening period of the first half. Benitez hopes that  Don't give the players too much room to move in the second half. If they continue to be excited, use fouls to knock them down.  Benitez saw some problems that occurred in Liverpool in the first half and made changes and adjustments, but he did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup. Judging from the situation in the first half, Crouch had no height.  Although he has the advantage, it does not play a big role. Since he does not have much advantage in physical confrontation, he does not receive many long passes. And because he is too tall, returning to defense becomes a problem. He can only stay at the edge of the opponent's penalty area.  Unable to retreat to support, he cannot provide much help to the midfield. If Kuyt is replaced by Kuyt, who is active in running, strong and cooperates better with Chen Yu, the effect may be better, but Benitez has always been very good.  He is stubborn and will not make adjustments to the starting lineup easily, so although he sees Crouch's problem, he still hopes that Crouch's aerial advantage can make up for his shortcomings in active area.  After the start of the second half, Liverpool took the lead to kick off. After adjustments in the midfield, Liverpool's offense improved. They no longer stubbornly competed with Marseille for possession of the ball like they did in the first half.  In addition, the restrictions on the three old Liverpool players were also tightened, which made Marseille unable to adapt for a while and was disrupted by Liverpool.  It was less than three minutes after the scene started. Chen Yu returned to the center circle to steal the ball and then cut in from the side at high speed, going to Cen Deng's side.  Cenden was very successful in defending Benayoun alone in the first half. He was also a little too confident in himself. When facing Chen Yu, he did not retreat as quickly as possible. He waited for his teammates to respond and tried to destroy Chen Yu with a foul.  Dribbling the ball, the ball was passed by, causing his wing to have to face Chen Yu alone.  When Chen Yu went from the wing to the front of the penalty area, Crouch had already reached the Marseille penalty area. Chen Yu did not go down and directly passed the ball into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle to find Crouch.  Chen Yu wanted Crouch to take advantage of his height, and passed an inward-swinging banana ball. The ball flew very high, and he focused on Crouch.  But Marseille's defenders are also very thieves. They obviously can't hit the ball, but one player desperately uses his body to push Crouch, preventing him from comfortably fighting for the top. Another player jumps high to attack Crouch.  interference.  Crouch has mostly been Kuyt¡¯s substitute in the past year and has only started infrequently. Today¡¯s starting performance isNormally, the ball passed to him by Chen Yu was already in place, but due to the interference of his opponent, he failed to get it straight and the ball flew high over the crossbar.  Although this attack was not successful, it boosted the morale and confidence of the Liverpool players. They launched the offensive more firmly from the side. The fans in the stands also cooperated. They started a human wave and shouted to let Liverpool  The momentum rose in waves, causing the Marseille players to retreat step by step, and finally retreated to their own half before barely stabilizing the situation.  Liverpool boss Gillette, who was sitting in the VIP box, was in a better mood at this time. When Liverpool's offensive was at its strongest, he even couldn't help but stand up and applaud.  Robert, the male boss of Marseille, didn't say anything yet, but Margarita, the female boss, lowered her face and whispered to Robert in a low voice. She didn't know what she was talking about, but judging from her expression, she was probably dissatisfied with Marseille's performance.  .  On the sidelines, Marseille head coach Graetz couldn't sit still. He replaced Ziani, who received a yellow card in the first half, and replaced him with striker Niang, changing the formation to 442.
