Green Life

After Ai Ming's appeasement and the arrival of Little Angel, Ma Keqin's restless heart calmed down a bit, but he hasn't made up his mind on what to do. If it doesn't go well, he may return to the youth team, which would be embarrassing. Basically, it will ruin Mark Qin's future in Liverpool.

But the loan is not easy to operate, after all, his age is there. As for the substitutes for the first team, the Premier League still has 5 substitutes. If I remember correctly, there will be 7 substitutes next season. Something needs to be done to allow Benitez to include himself in the rotation.

Ma Keqin didn't tell Peter that he didn't want to add trouble to him when he was delighted with the arrival of his daughter. He worked hard for a while and looked at the situation.

Liverpool's first game of the season was away against Aston Villa on August 12. Aston Villa is one of the two representative teams of Birmingham in the Midwest of England, and the other is Birmingham City. These two teams are located in Birmingham, the second largest international city in the United Kingdom. It's really weird.

During the team's game, the players who did not enter the big list are free to train under the leadership of the first team coach. The time is very loose. The game time is at 5 pm. Mark Qin bought the tickets by phone in advance and sat down after 3 pm Take the Intercity Express to Birmingham.

As long as he is not included in the squad, he plans to go to the scene to watch every game as much as possible, to feel the tactics and rhythm of the first team as soon as possible, and to see where he is, he has a chance.

Ma Keqin can play in many positions now, both sides and midfield. Of course, his breakthrough speed is average when placed on the wing, mainly relying on running positions and technical organization. The organization in the middle of the midfield is what he is best at, and he occasionally plays. The second striker can also.

In Birmingham, he felt that he had come to the city. After all, Liverpool was worse than Birmingham in terms of population and development. The car only took about 10 minutes. When we arrived at the city center, Ma Keqin walked around casually and bought two bracelets for Aiming and Angel. After all, it was the first time I came out and I had to bring some souvenirs for the two younger sisters.

From the outside, the Villa Park Stadium is no smaller than Anfield. After all, it is a metropolis. This time, Mark Qin did not join the Liverpool fans who came from afar. Liverpool fans are usually in the goal area, and the viewing effect from that position is average. I bought a high-priced ticket with a low midfield area, so I can better watch the running positions of the players of the two teams.

...

When Mark Qin sat down, the on-site commentator in the stadium was broadcasting the starting lineups of the two teams. Villa vs. Liverpool was the last game of this round, so even though it was the first round, there was no Premier League kick-off ceremony. Shouting like a tsunami, players from the two teams came out.

In the end, Benitez used 442 in Liverpool's starting lineup. Agger and Carragher guarded the backcourt. Enrique and Finnan left and right backs. The midfielder was a little surprised. The right back went to Arveiroa , Benayoun playing on the left, in the middle is the unshakable Alonso and Gerrard, striker Dirk Dirk and Torres.

Aveloa can be said to be a master of both sides, with average abilities and nothing special, but he can generally complete tasks well. When Gerrard does not play right midfielder, the current team In such a situation, Aveloa is also an option.

Watching Dirk Drivet play as the second striker, Ma Keqin thought that no matter what other aspects of Benitez's evaluation, he is still conservative in the formation. This lineup is actually no different from last season's 4411. Detroit is sure. Recycled deep.

Five substitutes followed: Itanje, Skrtel, Mascherano, Voronin and Leto

Aston Villamarkkin is not very familiar with,

The ones who can be recognized are England veteran Barry, Ashley Young, Norwegian high center Kanu and fast horse Abanglaho.

Benitez's transformation of Liverpool's tactics can be said to have influenced Liverpool for more than ten years. In Maxkin's previous life, even Rodgers and Klopp later kept the essence of this strategy, that is, the backcourt No. 4 Position scheduling, this core style of play started when Benitez introduced Alonso. Alonso in the Benitez era, Gerrard in the Rodgers era, and Henderson in the Klopp era are all classic No. 4 play styles, using medium and long passes to dispatch the two wings.

After the opening game, Liverpool immediately turned away from the hosts. Dirk Drivet retreated and Gerrard advanced, so that the offensive formation became 4141. There is no secret in this style of play. Many teams use the same formation and the same style of play, but the results are very different. , It is because of the difference in the ability of the players.

Mark watched the game quietly with his arms crossed. This fan area is not a diehard area. Compared with the two sides of the goal, it is not so fanatical, but the noise of the scene is still enough to make any conversation like a mosquito humming. The stadium is full of people. All kinds of shouts, the audience will cheer in unison for a steal or a good kick by the home team, and the booing and cursing of Liverpool never stops.

"Yankees go back!"

"Shh~~, you guys are a bunch of stinky shit!"

There is regional discrimination in any country, and the North-South confrontation in the UK is especially intense in the Premier League.

Speaking of the game, it is difficult for Dirk Dirk and Gerrard to play the game like a traditional No. 10 in the attacking midfielder position, because both of them are open and close. Therefore, the real organizer of Liverpool's frontcourt is Bei. Nayon, the side killer with the title of "Israel Beckham", has an elegant style of play, smart feet, and a golf quotient that is not lost to the first-class No. 10 players.

After the kick-off, Liverpool frequently attacked the left. This year's newcomer Enrique has a strong assist ability and frequently runs in behind. Gerrard played more like a second striker, frequently inserting into the penalty area to grab points. On the other hand, Villa , it’s not like a big city team. They don’t have a gorgeous style of play, but are known for their toughness. The frontcourt relies on one high and one fast, the traditional British style of play.

Aston Villa's three lines are very stable. After halftime, Liverpool has no space. O'Neill, the coach, leads the middle and lower teams to a certain level. Although he has the advantage, it is difficult for Liverpool to hit the ball into the penalty area. , the defensive midfielder Barry frequently fills in. He is also a first-class defensive midfielder with a simple style of play in England. Otherwise, he will not go to Manchester City.

Benayoun's body is still a little thin. Aston Villa's game was 352. They obviously bullied Liverpool. They don't have fast horses on the wing, and they can't stretch the width. Five tough midfielders firmly hang Liverpool at 30 meters. Outside the area, dull, nothing but dull.

The Villa fans in the auditorium are also a little tired from shouting, there are no exciting pictures, and no matter how excited they are, they can't get excited. Mark Qin is thinking about how he should play if he is on the field.

At this time, he was just like watching the scene when he played FM Football Manager. He clearly saw the gaps between the two sides, and he was thinking about how to adjust his tactics to break the deadlock. He looked at the bench, Leto? Shaking his head, it's only half of the game, Benitez won't take risks, and Benayoun is on the wing and Enrique is the main attacker, Leto's speed alone may not be good, without Benayoun's ball ability.

...

Enrique was very active, but with Ashley Young eyeing him, he didn't dare to press too high. Neither side had any good chances. In the 34th minute of the game, Liverpool finally completed a series of goals in the frontcourt. Beautiful cooperation, Dirk, Benayoun, and Alonso passed consecutively, and finally pierced Villa's left. Enrique quickly inserted in and swept the penalty area.

At this time, Torres's sense of smell was shown. He immediately turned around and sprinted, ready to grab a goal in the penalty area, but Villa's captain Lawerson was faster than him, and he kicked the ball into the defense during the return process. In his own goal, Laursen originally wanted to clear the ball, but he was too tall, and his center of gravity was a little unstable when he turned around to chase it back. As a result, he kicked it out, and this was the most exciting own goal of this round.

The fans of Villa put their heads in their hands and couldn't believe that their captain could make such a mistake. The stadium of Villa Sports Park fell silent immediately, but the singing of You will never walk alone became louder and louder. It was Liverpool fans who started to celebrate .

The on-site commentary was also unbelievable, "Oh~, Laursen scored a very wonderful goal, uh, an own goal", O'Neill scratched his head depressedly, this can only be blamed on luck, the tactics he arranged for Villa are The steady defense and counterattack rely on Abang Lahuo and Ashley Young. If they lose the ball first, they will be a little passive.

Liverpool's players were very excited to score their first goal of the season, and they all ran to the fans area of ​​the visiting team's stand to raise their arms and shout.

Ma Keqin was not surprised. The ball was not an accident at all tactically, and the training routines were all played out.

It's just that the success rate of this kind of play by the full back is a bit low. Ten times may not be able to penetrate once or twice, and Villa's back line is not covered.

Ma Keqin didn't like this set of main players after watching halftime. The stubborn problem was still the problem of the wing. Aveiro Asia Pacific on the right was silent, allowing Villa to block the left without any scruples.

Being able to score this goal is entirely based on the ability of the players. On the contrary, after scoring the goal, Liverpool got into the state a little bit, and the midfield rotation became much smoother.

Liverpool is still suppressing Villa in terms of strength. Benitez is the ancestor of the counterattack. It is really not easy to beat him to counterattack.

The halftime game was uneventful. If there are no surprises in the second half, it is estimated that the scene will not change much.

Mark Qin went to buy a glass of lemonade at halftime. Since becoming a player, his self-control has improved significantly, and he will not touch ordinary drinks.

In the second half, there was a bit of an accident. Abang Lahor's anti-offside was successful. Reina missed the ball when he attacked, tripped Abang Lahor and was awarded a penalty by the referee.

There was a tsunami at Villa Park immediately, just like an earthquake, and Barry took the penalty overnight.

Ma Keqin has always felt that the biggest weakness of Benitez's formation is that he watches too many videos and pays too much attention to targeting, which makes himself rigid.

The conservativeness of offensive investment and routines makes Liverpool's fault tolerance not strong. Once the defense makes a mistake, the frontcourt cannot be covered every time.

Fortunately, it was caught again this time. Villa had just equalized in less than 2 minutes. Taking advantage of Villa's unstable mentality, Gerrard pierced Taylor's gate with a world wave from outside the penalty area.

This was a bit of a blow to Villa. As soon as he saw hope, he was kicked back. Taylor kicked the ball back to the midfield with a big kick depressed. He was a little helpless when he lost these two goals today.

Ma Keqin saw that the game was coming to an end, and thought that this game was almost won. He was also quite helpless with this style of play, and he probably died because he was also organization-oriented, and speed and breakthrough were not his forte.

Whether strong or weak, or weak or strong, Liverpool under Benitez seldom score big no matter who they play against.

Benitez is a coach who is almost demanding on details, so his reputation in the hearts of players has not been high, because sometimes he is too unreasonable.
