Smitchell's appearance was welcomed by Millwall fans, and the feelings of Liverpool fans were a bit complicated, because Smitchell is a former Liverpool player and many Liverpool fans like Smitchell very much, but unfortunately the Czechs can only play for their opponents.

By this time, many Liverpool fans hope that Smitchell's performance is not good and Liverpool will be more likely to win.

The TV footage gave Smitchell who walked on the field.

The Czech embraced Simpson, then observed the situation around him, trotted to the right side, and the game continued, and he quickly entered the game.

Smitchell's purpose of playing is very clear, which is to limit Liverpool's full-back Luis Garcia.

Simpson was very weak in this regard, but Smitchell would definitely play a role. One reason was that his defensive ability was pretty good, and the other was that he knew Louis Garcia very well.

When Liverpool launched a wave of offensives and tried to find opportunities from the left again, he found that Luis Garcia was defended. Not to mention dribbling, it was not easy for him to receive a pass.

Louis Garcia could only shake her head and smile bitterly.

Smitchell knows him very well. On the other hand, he has been a teammate for a year and he also knows Smitchell very well. He has good skills at his feet, but it is difficult to break through Smitchell. In addition, Smitchell has a lot of experience. If he keeps staring at him, it will be difficult for him to receive the pass.

After two consecutive waves of offensives, Liverpool began to look for opportunities from the middle and right side again. Gerrard was restricted in the middle, and Xavi Alonso performed well. He was responsible for organizing the offense, which also allowed Liverpool to cooperate and threatened Millwall's defense.

But it's just a threat, and there is no shot from a dangerous position yet.

Liverpool's right player is Baldwin Centen.

Baldwin Centen's name is rarely known, but it dates back five years ago. Centen's name is still very loud. He was born in a judo family in the Netherlands. His father was a judo athlete. Centen had won awards in judo competitions and won the black belt. However, when he was sixteen, he chose to take football as his profession and joined Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

As early as 1997, Baldwin Centen had been the best player in the Dutch League, participated in the 1998 World Cup, and later joined the La Liga giants Barcelona.

The 2000 European Cup was held in the Netherlands. Baldwin Centen performed well in the European Cup held in the local area. Although the Netherlands finally lost in the semi-finals, it has been valued by major European clubs. In 2001, Centen switched to Chelsea for 7.5 million pounds.

At Chelsea, Zenden was once the core of the club, but his performance was not as eye-catching as in the European Cup. When Russian billionaire Abramovich took over Chelsea, Chelsea experienced personnel changes. He switched to Middlesbrough in 2003 and joined Liverpool last season.

Looking at Cenden's resume, from Eindhoven, Barcelona, ​​to Chelsea and Liverpool, every team he has gone through is quite outstanding. He joins the top league teams, which also proves Cenden's genius, but it is certain that since he left Chelsea, his career has begun to decline.

In Liverpool, Cenden is not valued.

Benitez chose to let Cenden join, which was only to supplement the team's lineup, and he did not have a fixed main position.

On the one hand, this may also show Cenden's current ability, but his rich experience cannot be denied. Facing Mirwall, Cenden's opponents to face are Branif and Konchesky.

Liverpool made preparations for the game, and Zenden had a certain understanding of Branif and Konchesky. He knew that the most important thing was to face Konchesky.

Braniff is good at strength, but most of his performances are offensive. He was a striker before, so he didn't need to talk about his defensive ability. Kongchesky is also an old opponent. He was in the Premier League for several seasons, and even if he was not in the same team, he would have a certain understanding of each other.

Cenden hopes to help the team find opportunities, so he must face Kong Chesky directly.

This time when Liverpool attacked, the football was passed to Cenden's feet. He glanced at the middle and the penalty area, and his right foot passed the ball, and the next moment he broke through Braniff.

Braniff was unwilling to be easily passed by, and chased him fiercely. Cenden didn't care too much, but instead carefully observed Conchesky who was helping to defend.

At that moment, Concheski made his move.

Konchesky hoped to double-team with Branif, and suddenly making a kick would make the opponent panic, but Cenden was even better. He seemed to have known what Konchesky would do, so he dribbled the ball horizontally in advance, then twisted his waist and started chasing him.

This small change of direction left both Branif and Konchesky behind.

The Liverpool fans at the scene suddenly shouted excitedly, and the commentator also shouted, "Zenden! Beautiful job! So beautiful! He shook Braniff and Konchesky away and defeated Millwall's left defense alone!"

"Look at this ball! Cen Deng, what should he do..."

Accompanied by the commentator's shout, Cen Deng pushed the ball horizontally to the front of the penalty area with one kick.

A Liverpool player follows behind!

It's Carragher!

When Braniff and Konchesky were thrown away together, Millwall's defense became very embarrassing, and the back line was immediately short of staff. Gerald, Morientes, Cice and others were all starved, but the other players who were inserted could not be restricted.

Carragher is one of them.

Carragher is a defender player, but don't forget that he is actually a qualified midfielder and has a very good offensive ability. Before the arrival of Xavi Alonso, Carragher was Gerard's midfield partner.

Now Carragher is inserted in time, using his performance to show that he has not forgotten how to attack.

Carragher waved his right foot towards the rolling football!

Everyone in the audience stared at the ball, and Liverpool fans were looking forward to it, because the football was facing the goal, and the distance was less than twenty meters, so there was a great chance to score directly.

Millwall was very worried.

If Liverpool can equalize the score, the game situation will change and Millwall's advantage will no longer exist.

The commentators also shouted at the same time-

"Look at this ball!"

"Carragher!"

"Let's see! Shooting-"

While several shouts were made, Carragher also swung his right foot to the position, but the situation was a bit unexpected the next moment. The football did not rush directly to the goal, but instead rotated on the spot, turned a corner and rolled to the left.

Is it a pass?

wrong!

The football rotated fiercely, but the speed was too slow. Wes Morgan in front of Carragher immediately rushed forward and kicked the ball back to Liverpool's halftime with a big foot.

What's going on?

Many people were confused, and then they saw that Carragher was unstable and fell to the ground with an oblique side...

"He... made a mistake!"

Many commentators pulled the corners of their mouths, many fans widened their eyes, Millwall fans laughed, Liverpool fans wanted to laugh but were depressed, other Liverpool players were stunned, Millwall players breathed a long sigh, and in the coaching seats between the two sides, Benitez covered his cheeks in anger, as if he was ashamed of his player's performance, Zhang Yang let out a long sigh and muttered, "Amen!"

Zhang Yang felt a little sympathetic to Carragher.

As for why this happens, we can only say that Millwall and Liverpool are opponents.

Zhang Yang could not watch Liverpool score the goal. At the moment when Carragher shot, he used the "word and method" and "mistake". The magic of two Chinese tones made Carragher lose his mind for a brief moment when he shot, and then he was in a daze.

So...Carrag made a mistake!

A good goal turned into a ridiculous mistake. Carragher's performance disappointed Liverpool. The fans scolded him angrily, and his teammates felt helpless. Benitez had a good temper and almost cursed him. Such a good opportunity turned into a mistake and gave the ball to his opponent. He didn't know what to say.

"It seems that experienced veterans may not be able to trust them." Benitez thought, and couldn't help but look at Millwall's lineup. From the forward line Darren Bente, midfielder Braniff was very young. Millwall's youngest was the back line, and Wes Morgan and Alan Hutton were both only 22 years old. Most of the defenders who have been so young can only serve as substitutes, but the two are already Millwall's main players and have performed quite steadily throughout the season.

Of course, Carragher is definitely better in comparison.

But is Liverpool's back line too aging? Looking at Hepia, who is the back pillar, Benitez feels that in the summer transfer, we should consider introducing several young defenders to add a little youthful atmosphere to the team. The abundant physical fitness of young players can also make tactical play more flexible.

Carragher is the most unfair one.

However, Carragher didn't know that he was "unfairly accused". He made a real mistake. At that moment, he didn't know what happened and didn't play accurately. As he walked back to his half, he thought to himself, "Are you too nervous?"

"Yes, it should be that there have been no shots in the last few games!" Carragher found a reason for the mistake. He would never know that the root of the mistake lies with the opponent's head coach.

Zhang Yang let out a long sigh.

In fact, Zhang Yang does not want to use "speaking and following the rules" to prevent the opponent from scoring goals, because the ability to predict the ability can make judgments in advance, but many failed experiences in the past told him that the effect of getting the players on the court "attention" is not good, and often does not play a role in preventing goals. Only the effect of saying and following the rules is the best.

Zhang Yang also gained some enlightenment.

‘Foresight’ may be just basic ability. It is not so vivid in advance that it is not so vivid, because it is not easy to take time to call a player in the middle of the game. It is also necessary to take risks if you make a command in the middle of the game to distract the players, and perhaps the opponent will find other opportunities.

The best effect is to use the abilities of "talking and following the Dharma" and "lucky blessing" in combination with "prediction". When making advance judgments, the best effect can be achieved by using the ability at the most appropriate time.

———

In professional football games, scoring goals is very difficult. In many games, it is normal for two teams to not score goals in 90 minutes, especially in a major match that determines the outcome. Both sides attach great importance to defense.

This is even more so in the Premier League.

‘Defense’ and ‘hard confrontations’ are both the Premier League style. When there is ‘defense’ and ‘hard confrontations’ in a game, it becomes very difficult to score goals.

Before many games begin, some commentators will evaluate the game and say, "One goal is enough to determine the outcome!"

Mourinho also dared to say, "As long as we score a goal, it is equivalent to winning the game ahead of schedule."

Liverpool and Millwall both belong to the 'traditional' English team. It is very difficult to score goals between the two teams.

Liverpool didn't know that they missed a goal opportunity, and this time it might be the only opportunity in the game.

From this perspective, it is still very valuable to use the "word and method" to prevent a goal. The following game also proved this point. Liverpool made great efforts to attack, and the back line was a little pressed forward, and even ignored the defense. However, for a long time, there was no ball that threatened Millwall's penalty area.

When Liverpool has not scored for a long time, Millwall has a chance.

This time Millwall launched a counterattack, and Wes Morgan made a long pass in the backcourt, passing the ball to the top ten meters in the penalty area. A figure quickly penetrated. When it was before the landing point, the Liverpool player confirmed that it was-

"Morris!"

"Wes Morgan! He made a very decisive long pass. He found Morris, and Morris conveyed Ren Bent again! This is a good opportunity!"

Darren Bent did not find any chance in the whole game because Liverpool's defense was too tight.

When the time came to the last ten minutes, Liverpool had to strengthen the offensive, and the defense in the backcourt was a little overwhelmed, so Darren Bent felt relieved.

Darren Bent is quickly leading forward, and Hypia comes over. Until now, Hypia has been defending Darren Bent, which is the job that Benitez has given him.

Now Hepia knew that he had to stop Darren Bent.

Hypia was confident that he defended the whole game and knew some about Darren Bent. He knew that the player was good at skill, but his body was still not that strong. As long as he got stuck in the right position, he could at least prevent the opponent from continuing to break through.

Darren Bent noticed Hypia, but he did not slow down and continued to rush forward.
