Chapter 23: A Conversation With Gerald

When the game progressed to the 10th minute, Liverpool completed the first shot. This shot was very threatening. If Robinson was not very focused, the score might have been rewritten.

After a while, Nicole finally found out where the opponent's axis was, which was Alonso, who he was man-marking. In order to make the team's defense more complete, he did not press Alonso, but kept moderate pressure, while Alonso Lonzo is also very smart. He does not control the ball too much, but speeds up the ball and reduces the time the ball is at his feet. However, every time he passes the ball, he is very purposeful. Through this non-stop passing, Constantly squeezing Tottenham's defense to create shooting opportunities.

Knowing this, Nichols changed his defensive strategy, stuck to Alonso tightly, and began to seek physical contact, preventing Alonso from passing and receiving the ball comfortably. As a result, Liverpool's offense stagnated and became methodical. Some confusion.

Seeing this scene, Benitez on the sidelines couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that Jill saw through his plan, or was it the adjustment made by Nicole himself? If so, this Nicole is really an interesting person." . 'Thinking of this, Benitez came to the sidelines and made a gesture to Gerrard, asking him to revise his tactics.

Soon, Nicole found that Alonso retreated, and Gerrard stepped forward, and Alonso was in charge of dispatching behind him.

Nicole had no choice but to explain to Davis, and turned his attention to Gerrard. Gerrard's method was different from Alonso's. Nicole and the line of defense behind him, so that Nicole felt tremendous pressure, but Nichols did not back down, but bravely went forward, constantly pestering Gerrard, he regarded Gerrard as an opponent Without such a test of my own training, I can't really say that I have the capital to gain a foothold on the court.

In the 30th minute, Nicole uprooted Gerrard and was warned by the referee. Nicole pulled up Gerrard. The action was very clean and absolutely did not mean to hurt anyone. In fact, the foul just now was due to his own failure to handle the ball. Strictly speaking, Nichol did not foul just now.But the referee's penalty cannot be changed. When Nicole stretched out his hand to pull him, he also got up and patted Nicole on the shoulder.

Afterwards, Nicole got entangled with Gerrard again, until the 39th minute, Nicole finally received the ball before Gerrard, and passed it directly to Lennon's habitual area without any hesitation, Lennon had been waiting for the opportunity , spreading his legs and running after the ball, Liverpool pressed too high, leaving too much space for Spurs to sprint, Riise was still in Tottenham's half, Finnan did not come back, Carragher could only Barely keep the distance with Lennon, but can't catch up.Hypia did not keep up with Robbie's footsteps and was gradually thrown away.

When he saw Lennon rushing over with the ball, James had to attack and try to seal the close corner. Lennon glanced and passed the ball directly. Robbie Keane easily sent the ball into the empty goal. With the first shot of the game, he took the lead. The suppressed Tottenham players were very excited, especially Lennon, who pulled Robbie and called his teammates to play Arhats. Nicole also participated in it, but he He was soft-hearted and didn't rush to the middle, but he didn't know how to get him to the bottom. When everyone rushed up, there was a cry like a pig from the ground, "Help, I'm going to kill someone." This was from Nicole. sound.

Benitez angrily threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground, and the TV camera captured the move of the Liverpool coach. It is believed that this will cause some damage to the image of the Liverpool coach.

Tottenham's goal stimulated the fans on the scene, but Liverpool fans will not be frightened by any opponent. They have experienced too much suffering and happiness for hundreds of years. Facing the opponent's goal, they responded with singing, " You'll Never Walk Alone" resounded over Anfield.

After the game restarted, the Liverpool players launched a brave attack on Tottenham, one wave after another, like a tide, and the Tottenham players fought hard to block, including Robbie Keane. During the defense, Nicole tried his best to intercept the opponent's advance. Before the end of the midfield, Gerrard found an opportunity to shoot long-range, and Nicole blocked it desperately. The ball hit his head directly, and Nicole fell down. Hey, at this moment, he could only feel a lot of black shadows shaking in front of his eyes, and a loud voice was shouting in his ears, but he didn't know what to shout.Seeing that there was a problem, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half when the time was up. The team doctor ran to Nicole, and Gerrard also joined him. Nicole's bravery also won the praise of the Liverpool captain. respect.

The team doctor's hand waved in front of Nicole's eyes, "Nicole, can you hear me clearly now?"

"Yes, but my head is a little dizzy." Nichol's powerful body was not given for nothing, and he recovered quickly. "Don't count your fingers, let me lie down for a minute."

"Are you sure you're okay?" The team doctor was still worried.

"It's definitely okay, my body, I know it myself." Nicole tried to sit up. "Give me a bottle of water."

He took a few sips of water, poured the rest of the water on his head, stood up and walked off the field.

Nicole's performance won the applause of the fans, of course, not only the fans of Tottenham, but also some Liverpool fans who think that Nicole is a man.

Back in the locker room, Mr. Gill first asked the team doctor, "How is Nicole, do you want to go to the hospital for examination?"

"No, boss, I feel good now, there is nothing wrong." Before the team doctor could speak, Nickel answered first.

The team doctor shrugged helplessly. "It doesn't look like a big problem now. The worst thing may be a slight concussion, but Nicole doesn't feel like vomiting, so he should be able to play. But, it's best to get checked after returning to London."

Hearing what the team doctor said, Jill felt a little relieved, "Nicole, you continue to play in the second half, stop immediately if you feel unwell, we still have a lot of games."

"Okay, boss."

"Gentlemen, you should say that you performed terrifically in the first half. We also scored a leading goal. If the game is over now, I will definitely give you a day off. However, there are still 45 minutes, which requires you Keep working hard. Our tactics are executed very well, and we will continue in the second half." Knowing that the players were exhausted physically and mentally, Jill didn't say much, since the game is at this point, it's useless to say anything.

Nicole sat quietly on what he was doing, sipped water to replenish electrolytes, and recalled the first half, especially the time when he was facing Gerrard, he felt very tired, since he was It was the first time since he participated in the game that he felt tired. As expected of a world-class midfielder, Nicole is now looking forward to continuing the dialogue with Gerrard.

In the home team's lounge, Benitez was furious. He wanted to vent the anger in his heart. As a tactical master, he didn't want to lose to the unknown Jill. He adjusted the lineup in the second half and added a striker. A defender was taken off and it was Carragher that he took off.
