Cicega Morientes, a 70,000-pound striker, didn’t exert any power. They didn’t perform as well as some small Premier League teams. At this time, Benitez thought of Charlton, Tottenham striker Fowler and so on. When these two players transferred in winter, he considered Fowler almost came to Liverpool, but it will be summer when Fowler moved. Now it is definitely not available, and it is all about Liverpool.
In winter, the striker didn’t add strength. Benitez came to hope that one of Cisse and Morientes could play a little strength, and the result is still the same.
Benitez was somewhat disappointed.
He also began to turn around frequently, and he was hesitant. After all, the game was only ten minutes. Now changing players is not only a denial of his own formation, but also a psychological blow to the players who changed teams.
In this way, another ten minutes passed.
In the 23 rd minute, Gerrard lifted the ball from the midfield and Alonso gave it to Morientes, who moved to the wing. Garcia Garcia returned to the middle of the baseline and Cisse just found a good opportunity.
Cisse missed the opportunity again when he exclaimed on the scene, with a kick that missed the baseline.
Benitez first hugged his head and lamented.
The action was captured by many cameras. The bb announcer commented with a smile, "It seems that Benitez is disappointed with Cisse’s performance. This is indeed a good opportunity, but Cisse may be too flustered …"
Where is disappointment? It’s a big disappointment!
Benitez came here with a glimmer of hope. After all, Liverpool took the initiative. Even if Fica defended well, a hundred secrets will be lost. There are still many opportunities for Liverpool, but no matter how many opportunities there are, they can’t help such waves.
Finally, Benitez’s thugs waved "Zhang Chang!" Everyone on the bench looked at Zhang Tiehan.
Zhang Tiehan was a little stunned. He didn’t expect Benitez to replace him after only twenty minutes of the game, but after watching the game just now, he also knew why the coach did it. He didn’t hesitate to take off his coat and put it in his chair to warm up.
Soon the fourth official raised the substitution card to signal Zhang Tiehan to change Cisse.
When they saw the number’ 13′ on the substitution card, the Anfield stadium immediately boiled. The fans had long been looking forward to Zhang Tiehan’s appearance, but just like many people in Zhang man of iron, they also felt that they wanted to see Zhang Tiehan at half-time. They didn’t expect to appear so soon, but they immediately responded to welcome Zhang Tiehan.
The Anfield Stadium immediately erupted into a warm applause.
This palm is used to make all the players in the game feel at heart. Fica threw the ball back and forth in his backcourt just like welcoming Zhang Tiehan, just like welcoming Zhang Tiehan to play. Actually, at this moment, they are a little distracted … In the eyes of these Fica players, it is definitely a star of the same level as Steven Gerrard, and the Anfield palm also proves this point. He just won these palms without doing anything, which really makes people envy and hate … So they watched Zhang Tiehan step by step on the court neatly.
It is more depressing to hug Cisse with Zhang Tiehan.
He knows why he was replaced, but he is also very naive. In fact, Benitez could have replaced Morientes, but who let himself miss two opportunities?
Cisse and Zhang Tiehan were not enthusiastic when they embraced, but Zhang man of iron could understand his mood and patted him on the shoulder. Cisse nodded in response.
Although the two men are competing, the competition is not bad, and it is just a competition for team position. In the eyes of Cisse, it should not be said that Cisse is not Zhang Tiehan’s opponent in the eyes of all Liverpool people. His competitor may say that Morientes is more suitable for the latter, but his performance is not better than him. Who can make Morientes play more positions?
This is the advantage.
Zhang Tiehan turned his eyes and stepped on the court.
He jogged to the center line to prepare for Fica’s attack, and other Liverpool players quickly recovered and re-entered the game.
It goes without saying that Zhang Tiehan changed the position of Cisse, that is, the first striker and high center Benitez sent him out in the hope that he could score. This game is the last 16 in the Champions League, and the second is an important game. In the next few minutes, it will be decided whether Liverpool or Fica will advance to the top.
Such an important game makes Zhang man of iron’s blood boil. He can’t wait.
……
Fica knows something about Liverpool. After a round of matches, they have analyzed the current situation of Liverpool and the abilities of all players in Liverpool, but they don’t know Zhang Tiehan, especially these players. They don’t need to do a series of analysis on opponents and potential opponents like coaches. They actually know that Zhang Tiehan is an excellent striker and scores a lot of goals, that’s all.
Good at heading and long-range shooting?
The world knows this, but just knowing this and how to finish defense are two concepts. When Zhang man of iron arrives at the stadium, how to limit him and how to defend him is really difficult without coach guidance.
They didn’t expect Zhang Tiehan to appear and … so early.
This is unexpected.
The most important thing is that when Zhang Tiehan appeared in Liverpool, it was like changing a team. Their tactics were automatically adjusted. As far as attack is concerned, when Cisse was present, he was the first striker to seize the opportunity, while Zhang man of iron was a center, a high center and good at long-range shooting. Now it is also good to cooperate with his teammates … A series of abilities make Zhang man of iron want to go to the stadium and he will be the core of the frontcourt attack.
All attacking players almost have to look at Zhang Tiehan’s position when they get the ball. Obviously, Cisse can’t have this kind of treatment. This is the difference between the core striker and the ordinary striker
These changes made Fica feel a little overwhelmed in the face of Liverpool’s attack.
They suddenly found that this Liverpool team has changed to be continued.
Chapter three hundred and seventy-three This is simply art!
When Zhang Tiehan came out, Liverpool was like a different team.
Their attack is no longer so slow, and they are much more decisive in catching the ball, even in the forward ball.
Defending man of iron in the frontcourt, Liverpool have more choices, that is, to force a fight and start intercepting in the frontcourt, rather than retreating in formation to stop Fica’s attack.
These changes made Fica very passive for a while. They didn’t expect Liverpool to change their tactics and play these big changes. They were a little uncomfortable for a while.
But Liverpool will not give them a chance to adapt.
In fact, the level of Liverpool players is higher than that of Fica. Although Fica is a Portuguese super-giant, it is only a Portuguese super-giant. Liverpool is one of the four giants in the Premier League, and their strength is very strong. Every player’s ability is higher than Fica’s. Some tactical changes and the suppression of the team’s comprehensive strength have led to Zhang Tiehan’s one-sided suppression in the backcourt, which many people did not expect.
Even those reporters, media commentators, Anfield Liverpool fans and even Benitez didn’t expect Zhang Tiehan’s appearance to have such an effect.
Before Zhang Tiehan broke out, Liverpool broke out.
Seeing this situation, Fica coach Coleman scratched his head, but he couldn’t help it. The tactics of the game could not be changed just because they were suppressed for a while. He hoped that the team could cope with this period and it would be much easier to play when they got used to the game.
Fica’s defense is really good
They are famous for their defense in Portuguese Super League and Champions League. After Zhang Tiehan played for ten minutes, Liverpool’s offensive play was very smooth. The scene was so suppressed that Fica didn’t play a good attack, but they didn’t score.
Zhang Tiehan did really well.
He was staring at two or three defenders in the restricted area of Fica, and he was under pressure to find opportunities to head the goal again and again. Although the other side defended him very closely, Zhang man of iron still hit the goal twice, but he still didn’t feel very well. He shot twice, once the football rushed directly into the goalkeeper’s arms and once the ball crossed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Although he didn’t score, the media didn’t think badly of him
"Two headers in ten minutes, Zhang’s performance is quite strong. Although he hasn’t scored yet, it’s only a matter of time to score like this."
"Benitez’s decisive choice to let Zhang play is wise."
"Zhang’s dominance in the penalty area is not comparable to Cisse’s. Although he has just experienced three months of injury, his first appearance is still so imposing. This is Zhang! Liverpool 13th! "
But Zhang Tiehan is not satisfied with his performance.
In his opinion, no goal means no performance. He has been looking for good opportunities. He knows that it is just to play now and he is looking forward to breaking the goal. He has not played for three months, and he has not scored, which really suffocates him.
Goals! Goals! Goals!
For Zhang Tiehan, a team like Fica, especially the other team, is not ready for their own defense. It is not difficult to score goals. What he lacks is an opportunity. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely score goals. This is his belief and his firmness.
During this period, Zhang man of iron stayed in the restricted area of Fica. He is the Liverpool center at the front, looking for opportunities, and at the same time, he will maximize his tactical center to attract more defense and create opportunities for his teammates.
But the desire to score goals has not changed. man of iron has been waiting.
Generally speaking, he often gives the ball to his teammates. After all, he doesn’t belong to the kind of striker who scores by luck. If he is not sure, Zhang Tiehan won’t shoot rashly. It’s just an attack opportunity.
In this state of mind, Zhang Tiehan’s performance for ten minutes is not very outstanding.
After 20 minutes of playing, three shots were shot on the same head, which made Fica defenders look down on Zhang man of iron a little. They thought that Zhang Tiehan was only the kind of tall guy who was good at heading, but it was nothing special.
With the opening of the half game, Fica’s defense did not know when to relax.
Zhang Tiehan gave the opportunity to his teammates in Liverpool, and the others had a lot of opportunities. They were not polite to Fica’s goal. In 20 minutes, Gerrard and Morientes both had two chances to shoot, and Riise on the wing also had a chance. Even defender Hyypia had a long-range shot.
