Born to be a coach [soccer]

Chapter 136

Less than 10 minutes into the game, the Sunderland players realized that what they were holding was really a script for worshiping heaven, and this script for worshiping heaven seemed to be given by the referee——

In the 8th minute, Sunderland's central defender Godin made a clearance with a tackle, touched the ball first, and brought down Torres who was attacking with the ball.Godin's tackle was not overly forceful, nor was it aimed at someone. According to the rules, it was not a foul.

But as soon as referee Stuart Atwell saw Torres go down, he called Godin for a foul and awarded Liverpool a free kick.

Godin naturally felt very wronged, and he immediately raised his hand to appeal to the referee.Field captain Garner also opened his arms and walked towards the referee.

Torres slowly got up from the turf, holding the ball in his arms when he got up.

Anton watched all this with cold eyes, suddenly Hypia behind him jumped up from the bench and shouted loudly into the arena: "Be careful, be careful of him..."

Hyypia has played for Liverpool for many years and has cooperated with many Liverpool players on the field.At this time, he looked at the situation on the field and knew what tactics Liverpool would use——

"Watch out Torres and send—"

But it was too late.At this time, Torres suddenly put the ball on the turf and kicked the ball out-just as Sunderland still had doubts about the foul, Liverpool had almost sent a free kick.

The front of the Sunderland penalty area was empty, and goalkeeper Pickford chose to attack by himself, trying to take off this goal that seemed to be passed and shot.But at the moment when Pickford attacked, a red figure suddenly appeared in front of Sunderland's goal—it came so fast that not only the other defenders of Sunderland, but also Pickford couldn't catch up. Have time to react.

The red figure leaped high, risking a head-on collision with Pickford, shook his head, and hit the ball.The ball flicked past Pickford's elbow and into Sunderland's goal.

The next moment, Pickford collided with the visitor and fell on the line of the small penalty area.Pickford was hit so badly that he couldn't get up and beat the ground for a moment.

And Liverpool's offensive player also fell hard, but the great excitement of scoring for the team made him get up from the ground, ran to the stands, and deliberately put his hands behind his ears——

"Durt, Dirk, Dirk..."

Fans chanted the player's name.

The Dutchman Kevin Dirk, this game is his first start after returning from injury.This guy is still the same as before, running tirelessly on the field, coupled with the exquisite cooperation with Torres, won this opportunity.

The sea of ​​red at Anfield seems to be boiling at the moment.

Many fans shed tears of excitement-does this mean that after getting rid of the "dog-blood boss", has Liverpool finally been reborn from the ashes?

The VIP box was obviously very excited, and everyone in the box stood up.

Boss Henrik laughs into the main since the first home goal.

This is really a long-lost good start! ——Although all this stems from a "misjudgment".

But the Sunderland players on the field were not reconciled: Godin's foul just now was obviously not a foul. When the players tried to reason with the referee, Torres chose a "quick serve" free kick. …

Sunderland felt aggrieved no matter what he thought.

Isn't this ball really a "gift package" given by the referee to the opponent's new boss?

Captain Garner continued to go to the referee to argue, but got a yellow card, turned around angrily, and prepared to return to the center circle with his teammates to kick-off.

Anton kept staring in the direction of the goal. After a while, he suddenly waved his hand and signaled to the fourth official to apply for the medical staff to enter the field. Sitting on the ground in a daze, he didn't reach out to beat the ground like he used to.

Sunderland's team doctor rushed to the field with a medicine box.

On the bench, the substitute goalkeeper Gordon looked surprised, but he didn't dare to neglect. He quickly stood up and changed his clothes, ready to come on the bench.

According to Anton's judgment, Pickford Jr. may have concussion symptoms after being hit.

It's not too serious a concussion, just need to rest for a while.

But if you continue to let him on the court, you may not be able to concentrate, dizziness, vomiting, double vision in front of your eyes, and you may even faint.

In this way, even if Pickford himself asked to stay on the field, he had to make a substitution decision for the sake of the players and the team.

Therefore, the "sacrifice to heaven" script that Sunderland held was the worst one: just 10 minutes into the game, the opponent advanced by a goal, and he was forced to use up a substitution.

The young goalkeeper was very reluctant after learning that he was replaced.While being led away by the team doctor, he shed tears of grievance.The young man tried his best to control it, but the tears just couldn't be stopped like a faucet turned on.

He took off his gloves and wiped his face carelessly with his hands.This scene was seen by the Liverpool fans, and the cheers in the stadium immediately decreased——

Not every fan can see that the free kick just now was a misjudgment, but every fan has seen that young Sunderland goalkeeper, who was hit by a Liverpool player just now, and is now forced to leave the field.

Someone started applauding Pickford.

Gradually the applause became louder and louder.

Many fans stood up and sent blessings to the opponent's injured player.

This is the first time Pickford has enjoyed this kind of treatment.

The young man felt even more wronged all of a sudden - he didn't want to enjoy this treatment either!

After high-fiving Gordon, Pickford came to Anton's side and almost burst into tears.

Anton said something in his ear, Pickford managed to hold back his tears, and was accompanied by medical staff back to the locker room.He will undergo further tests at a later date.

The other players on the Sunderland field will continue to face a 0-1 deficit.

When Sunderland kicked off, Anton made a "press" gesture: Boys, haven't you always been very defensive?

Seeing Anton's gesture, the Sunderland players knew it all.

Want to pull a black cat to sacrifice to heaven? ——If you say sacrifice, I will sacrifice it!

Captain Garner stood in the middle circle, gritted his teeth, raised his head, and tried his best to forget about the conceded goal just now.

When the teammates in front were all in position, he flicked the ball lightly, Eriksson immediately stepped forward with precise footwork, and went forward to find Messi with a long pass.

Despite the ups and downs experienced by the opponent earlier, Sunderland still did enough homework for Liverpool before the game.The coaching staff has technical statistics and analysis of all the active players of the opponent, and has also rehearsed all possible formations in advance.

In addition, Anton also "screened" all the tactics that Hodgson used when he was coaching the "farmer" Fulham last season, and deduced the tactics that the opponent might use.

Therefore, Liverpool is not mysterious in the eyes of Sunderland.

Hodgson once studied under Sir Bobby Charlton, and he is still Mourinho's "brother", but his age is there. Facing the rapid changes in today's football tactics, Hodgson appears conservative and outdated.

After the old coach took office, Liverpool has been unacceptable and unable to adapt to Hodgson's old tactical arrangements.This is why they have only one game left in five rounds.In addition, one of Liverpool's midfielders went to Real Madrid and the other to Barcelona, ​​leaving only Gerrard to barely support.

This Liverpool team is now just like a long-term patient. Even if the change of shareholders gave them a shot in the arm, the trunk is still weak, and there is no way to recover overnight.

Eriksson took the ball and immediately made a long pass to Messi.The first time he passed a moment late, Messi moved too fast. When Eriksen passed the ball, he had already passed the defenders Carragher and Agger, and was decisively blown offside.

Sunderland was not discouraged and started all over again.Captain Garner actively fought in the midfield, and in the one-on-one confrontation between the two captains, he grabbed the ball from Gerrard's feet.

The ball was rubbed up again and passed to Vardy in front.

The timing was just right this time, Vardy just fell behind Carragher at the moment of starting, but Carragher had no time to turn around and chase.

Single-handed——

Vardy faced goalkeeper Reina.

In desperation, Reina stepped forward to attack and brought down Vardy, but unfortunately missed the ball.

The whistle sounded—there was a sigh in the stands: hang.

Facing Vardy's single shot, Reina was forced to foul.This foul was so obvious that the referee couldn't ignore it even if it wasn't written in the "Sacrifice to Heaven" script.

So Reina got a "yellow card + penalty" spree.

The Sunderland players discussed for a while, Messi, Vardy and captain Garner all stood in front of the penalty spot, and it seemed that they hadn't decided who would take the penalty.They looked back at Anton, only to see that Anton ignored them at all, and instead discussed tactics with the coaching staff on their own.

Several people discussed for a while, and finally the captain Garner stood in front of the penalty spot.

Renner's complexion changed a little.

Liverpool fans with a good memory also clamored, and there were boos at Anfield for a while.

Last time it was also Ghana who gave Liverpool a penalty kick and directly sent Liverpool out of the FA Cup.Today he came again and stood in front of the penalty spot again.

Reina was concentrating, ready to hit the spoon penalty.

The referee's whistle blows.

Garner started the run-up. I didn't see how he was swinging his legs, but he suddenly exerted strength-his movements were very simple, without any skills, but full of power. He just shot a burst, so fast that Reina had no time to react. Liverpool's goal Immediately pierced.

The ball had already bounced inside the goal, and Reina's feet were still nailed to the ground, and he couldn't even make a save.

Garner yelled at the red stands behind the goal: Not everyone is afraid of the "devil's home", even if they are bullied.

1 to 1, Sunderland, who took the script of offering sacrifices to heaven, is now back.
