Chapter 123 How to play football with your brain?
Every Merseyside derby will attract much attention, and this is even more so, because there is another important background in this game - in the last round of the league, Liverpool's leading scorer Chen Yingxiong was exposed to his fatal weakness of his left foot. It was Manchester United used this to curb Chen Yingxiong and made him fail to achieve his entire game.
But is this tactic something that only a very small number of teams can successfully use, or has become a secret magic weapon that anyone can defeat Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool.
This Merseyside derby is a great opportunity to verify this tactic.
If Everton can use this tactic to restrain Chen Yingxiong's performance, it basically means that Manchester United's tactic is universal. Because Everton is definitely not a strong team, their only mid-level teams are very representative - since mid-level teams can succeed, then wouldn't a team that is higher-level than mid-level teams are OK?
So everyone focused their attention in this game, wanting to see if Chen Yingxiong was really restricted.
Just like looking forward to a major scientific research result announcement, everyone is full of expectations for this game.
Those who support Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool hope that Everton will fail, but they are a minority. Most people hope that Everton will succeed - who said that Liverpool rose too fast this season, which made many people feel terrifying? And... Who said that Chen Yingxiong is too arrogant?
The big tree attracts wind, Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong are so jealous that more people are happy to see them unlucky.
This idea is also reflected in the media.
The local media that pro-Liverpool club naturally hopes that Everton will lose, while other media like Liverpool's loss. They are weak and can't support them anymore, and public opinion is gradually occupied by the voices of Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool.
There are also many people who pretend to say that they actually like Liverpool very much. After all, in England, Liverpool's reputation is better than Manchester United. Due to various tragedies, they are more sympathetic. But it is because of Chen Yingxiong that they changed their views on Liverpool. They believe that Liverpool, which has made Chen Yingxiong the number one star, is no longer the proud English giant, but has become a mad dog-like team, biting everyone when they see it.
Such Liverpool is simply tarnishing the glorious tradition of the Reds, so it is better to let them fail or be unlucky, at least they can wake up from the mist of relying on Chen Yingxiong.
"Only by letting Liverpool realize that they cannot always rely on Chen Yingxiong, and Chen Yingxiong is not their savior, and is not omnipotent, this traditional wealthy family can restore its former glory!"
The expert was passionate and could feel the spit on his face even if he just reads the article he wrote. It seemed that he was really worried about Liverpool and worried that Liverpool would fall.
Of course, when Liverpool has not won't win for many years, they will never see these worried "Liverpool fan experts" come out to say the previous sentence.
※※※
Not only the media and fans are paying attention to the result of this game, but Liverpool players are also concerned. They are also nervous and nervous, wondering if Chen Yingxiong can overcome this hurdle.
Some people even think that judging from this tactical arrangement, even if Liverpool wins the ball in the end, it will only be Liverpool's victory, not Chen Yingxiong's.
As long as Chen Yingxiong doesn't score, he is the loser.
The media can claim that although Everton did not defeat Liverpool, at least they proved to the world that the way to defeat Chen Yingxiong is still effective.
So they are all very worried about Chen Yingxiong. If Chen Yingxiong had not scored, you can imagine how huge pressure he would encounter...
Especially Chen Yingxiong is so calm now... It is not a problem to be calm, if you go too far, there will be a problem.
Chen Yingxiong is a very lively person and rarely sees him completely silent. Whether in the locker room or in the training ground, he always talks a lot, which makes everyone laugh and laugh.
So he was too calm, so there must be something wrong.
Everyone was worried that this was a sign of the pressure that Chen Yingxiong was crushed.
Suarez wanted to comfort Chen Yingxiong and relieve him of the pressure, but unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong refused his kindness: "It's okay, I'm meditating!"
"Meditation? What are you meditating?" Suarez was surprised.
"Think about the meaning of life, who am I, where I come from, where I am going, what is my mission to come to this world..." Chen Yingxiong looked serious and serious, as if doing so would make a sun appear behind his head.
Suarez rolled his eyes, threw a middle finger and left his room.
As soon as he left the door, he saw other teammates waiting anxiously in the corridor. When he saw him coming out, he surrounded him.
"How about the hero?"
"Yes, what's going on with him now?"
"How did you comfort him, Louis?"
...
Suarez raised his arms high and signaled everyone to calm down.
Then he said, "He has a lot of pressure!"
Yes, in fact, Chen Yingxiong is not as stressful as he gives people... Suarez thinks Chen Yingxiong is so normal.
After he repeated the conversation with Chen Yingxiong, many teammates also reacted to him and waved: "Go, everyone, take a shower and go to bed, have a breakfast, there will be a game tomorrow!"
Then it dispersed, and soon the corridor became empty.
※※※
Chen Yingxiong actually didn't lie to Suarez, or did not completely lie to Suarez. He was indeed meditating.
But what he meditates is definitely not the meaning of life.
What he was thinking about was how to score a goal in the game against Everton...
Basten asked him to play football with his brain, so he had to think with his brain now.
In terms of technology, he is not top-notch, and his left foot technique is almost a scumbag. What if the opponent really forces him to control the ball with his left foot?
Chen Yingxiong thought hard for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.
And what is the use of your brain to play football? Are you racking your brains to come up with many tactical strategies? Just like Zhuge Liang? But I am not of this type, I should be Zhang Fei...
Chen Yingxiong just thought about it, but he didn't think of it until the game started.
At that time, his calm face and expressionless look fell into the eyes of the commentator and others, and they all became the ironclad evidence that "Chen Yingxiong was worried and under great pressure."
Whether it was those who supported him or those who hated him, seeing Chen Yingxiong like this, they all believed that Chen Yingxiong had no choice. Those who hated him began to cheer impatiently, while those who liked him were mourning everywhere.
Only Liverpool players know that although they don’t know what Chen Yingxiong is going crazy, Chen Yingxiong is very normal!
※※※
After the game started, Everton was indeed inspired by Manchester United. Moyes asked the players to strictly guard against Chen Yingxiong when defending him and forced him to control the ball with his left foot.
Completely replicated Manchester United's tactics.
In the fifteen minutes of the start of the game, Chen Yingxiong did continue his performance in the match against Manchester United.
This has become increasingly strong in the confidence of those who swear by Chen Yingxiong.
Some reporters who didn't like Chen Yingxiong in the media seat simply announced: "This method works! Gone are the days when heroes are invincible!"
Of course, the reporters who did this were despised by other journalists who supported Chen Yingxiong.
※※※
Chen Yingxiong gave up, not giving up pursuing goals, but giving up meditation. He felt that the stories of epiphany in history might be true, and he really needed an epiphany. Just thinking hard here has no effect at all, so it is better to focus on this game first. Let’s not talk about the method, first score a goal.
He must obtain that talent in this game. As for the upgrade, he can be discussed later.
So in fact, Chen Yingxiong's performance was not good in the first fifteen minutes, not because Everton's tactics trapped him, but because he was thinking hard and did not completely focus on the game...
Now that he came to his senses, he began to think about how to score the goal.
In fact, Everton's tactics are indeed effective.
Chen Yingxiong now feels unspeakable. Although he has been adjusting himself for a week, he still has too little time. He is still not used to playing football with his left foot.
I have to say that many people are worried about right. If Chen Yingxiong has no other way, then he will be really finished.
Fortunately, the core of this game tactic is not Chen Yingxiong. He is more about engaging in running positions for his teammates, making room for his teammates, and attracting the enemy's defensive attention.
In fact, the main scorer in this game was Suarez.
Liverpool is indeed better than Everton in overall strength.
The tactics Moyes made against Chen Yingxiong now seem to be like punching hard but missed!
Suarez is extremely active, and Liverpool also has an advantage in the scene.
Perhaps the only lost person is Chen Yingxiong.
The game lasted twenty minutes, and the score between the two sides was still 0:0, and Liverpool had the advantage. Liverpool had just ended a very threatening attack. Sanchez made a cross and Suarez jumped in the middle to compete for the top, but it was a little bit worse and he didn't hit the football.
The football flew over his head.
This offense failed to score a goal, but Chen Yingxiong's eyes lit up!
For Suarez, this offense is at most a threatening attack, but for himself, such an opportunity is a goal!
Chen Yingxiong slapped his forehead.
Why did I forget this?
I don’t just know how to put my skills!
Damn, do you really think that limiting my right foot, I can only hold my tail and run away in shame?
