The first tumor in football

Chapter 158 Song! You must keep going!

"Dear viewers, this is Anfield Stadium! You are watching the 2017/18 English Premier League match between Liverpool Football Club and Ipswich Town!"

In the Douyin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun's tone was low.

After a fifteen-minute cool-down period, Zhan Jun, an old fan of the Red Army, obviously realized the development of this game and what it meant to his other beloved player, Song Wen.

"The second half of the game is about to begin. In the first half of the game that just ended, the Red Army Liverpool showed their unparalleled offensive ability. In the first half alone, they scored five goals! In contrast, Ipswich performed poorly in the first half. The score between the two sides is currently 5-0. I think this score is a huge pressure for both Ipswich fans and Ipswich players. I hope they can adjust their state and mentality in time during the halftime break and bring a wonderful game in the second half!"

After hearing what Zhan Jun said, Fan Zhiyi sighed like a wilted dogtail grass.

"Come on Ipswich. Come on Song Wen! Try to get as many balls back as possible, and at the same time, you must do a good job on defense! We really can't let Liverpool keep scoring goals like this."

For Fan Zhiyi, it is not really important whether Ipswich can score a goal now. The most important thing is to stop Liverpool from scoring any more goals.

They conceded five goals in the first half. If the situation continued like this in the second half, he didn't even dare to think about the final result.

You know, on the football field, losing is often not terrible. What is terrible is being kicked out of a famous scene and being whipped by fans every day. What is terrible is being kicked out of a tragedy of the century.

Especially in a situation like Ipswich's now, which has been smooth sailing all the way until now, if they are directly kicked out by a double-digit defeat, I dare not imagine what will happen next.

Fan Zhiyi, who was once a professional player, knows clearly that if this happens, Ipswich will be ruined at least for this season.

Because the players' psychological trauma may not be overcome for a whole season.

But for Song Wen, a gifted child of destiny, what he is about to face is even more terrifying.

In Fan Zhiyi's opinion, it is completely understandable for Song Wen, as a midfielder, not to participate in defense.

If it wasn't for Song Wen's consideration, he would have been unable to hold back his swearing in the first half at Ipswich's poor defensive performance.

Ipswich's defense, when facing Liverpool, was as ugly as an amateur team facing a professional team.

The trolls online are all scolding Song Wen for his lax attitude, strolling around the court and not participating in defense.

The key issue is, this fucking Ipswich team has ten players except the goalkeeper, and seven of them are already stationed near the penalty area. And Song Wen is still needed to defend. What the hell is the point of playing football?
But you can’t explain these truths to the haters.

At this moment, Fan Zhiyi had no hope for the outcome of the game. He only hoped that Song Wen could score one or two goals in the second half, so as to shut up the haters.

At this time, at the Emirates Stadium on the other side.

When several old men gathered together, their faces did not look very good.

These world-class coaches, who are well-known around the world, all had distorted expressions when they saw the glaring 5-0 score on the live broadcast.

Arsenal head coach Wenger, Tottenham head coach Ancelotti, Chelsea head coach Conte, and Manchester United head coach Mourinho.

Only Song Wen has the ability to bring these coaches together.

Because they were all defeated by Song Wen, and they all almost lost their team's coaching position because of Song Wen.

The four coaches, who had already tasted the bitterness of failure, were originally conflicted.

They naturally hope to see the arrogant Song Wen lose the game and pay the price, but there are also some rules for losing.

At least you can't be beaten 5-0 by Liverpool at halftime like you did today, right? !
Now the outside world is praising Song Wen to the sky, saying that he can lead a Championship team alone to defeat the top teams in the English Premier League.

As a result, Klopp turned around and crushed them.

What does it mean?
Don’t these four top clubs and four world-class coaches have any respect?
So it was because they were too inexperienced before?

And what are you, Song Wen, doing today?
When you play against our team, you are at full speed, able to attack and defend.

When facing Liverpool, they just acted like turtles for more than 45 minutes and hardly moved at all.

So, you, Song Wen, and Klopp are playing a big game, and you are playing tricks on us?

Especially Mourinho, his mouth is crooked with anger now.

He shouldn't be here now.

The match time between Liverpool and Ipswich coincides with the derby between Manchester United and Manchester City.

As the head coach, he should now be dominating the Old Trafford stadium, commanding his players to beat Manchester City, a pseudo-giant team with no historical background.

But because of the impact of Song Wen's short leg incident before the game, Mourinho was scolded by Klopp in a phone call.

As a result, during the game, Manchester United's defense made another low-level mistake, giving Manchester City a penalty in the penalty area.

The angry Mourinho kept complaining loudly on the sidelines. Even when facing the referee's warning, he was still hot-blooded and did not restrain himself at all. He was directly sent off the court by the referee with a red card.

Manchester United fans even booed Mourinho for a long time without any hesitation.

This completely made Mourinho, who already had an extremely hot temper, explode, and he simply chose to leave Old Trafford.

He knew that after this incident, his coaching career at Manchester United would probably come to an end.

Unexpectedly, Conte called him and brought him to the Emirates Stadium.

When Conte called Mourinho, the match between Liverpool and Ipswich had only been going on for 30 minutes.

But when he heard that the score was already 3-0 after 30 minutes, Mourinho was stunned and rushed over without stopping.

So, I and three other coaches witnessed the birth of a tragedy.

Looking at Klopp who was occasionally captured by the camera on the sidelines, his rosy face full of smugness, Mourinho felt a surge of anger and wanted to rush into the TV and eat Klopp alive.

This old guy always hides his abilities when facing me.

He now has some doubts. This old guy Klopp is so scheming. Is it really this old guy who hired someone to break Song Wen's legs?

As the saying goes, good brothers do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but ask to die on the same day of the same month of the same year.

For the four coaches present, they were all dead. At this moment, they naturally hoped that Klopp could die with them. How could Klopp survive alone?

What's more, he lives such a glorious life!
Wenger sighed and said:

"Do you think Ipswich still has a chance?"

His question came out lightly, without causing any ripples in the office.

There was no one who was blind to the game.

Wenger certainly wasn't either. Apparently he was desperate enough to start self-PUA.

After a brief silence, Mourinho suddenly started laughing without warning.

Several people looked at Mourinho as if they were looking at a madman, wondering what this old guy was laughing at.

Noticing everyone's gaze, Mourinho, who had already let go of his burden and seen through the mundane world, smiled and said:

"I really want to know what Guardiola's expression is like now."

Hearing Mourinho's words, everyone present was stunned.

Manchester City is now leading Manchester United 2-0. What expression can Guardiola have?
Your mouth is crooked from smiling!
But everyone soon realized that Mourinho was obviously not talking about this.

It was the match between Ipswich and Liverpool.

Imagine, with a 2-0 lead in the first half and the opposing coach being sent off, Guardiola was sure to win the highly anticipated Manchester City derby. How would he look when he returned to the locker room and heard that Liverpool had scored five goals against Ipswich in the first half?

The match between Liverpool and Ipswich Town naturally has a lot to do with Guardiola.

You should know that apart from Liverpool which is playing today, Manchester City coached by Guardiola is already the last team of the Premier League's big six.

It would be fine if Liverpool lost today, but if Manchester City wins the game, it will naturally prove Guardiola's ability and the team's ability.

Even if Manchester City loses to Ipswich in the end, it is not shameful.

After all, everyone lost, which proves that Ipswich is invincible at the moment and Song Wen is a monster.

Then isn’t it normal for Manchester City to lose?

What's there to criticize about the fans?

But now, Liverpool is about to win.

And it’s not just a small victory!
In just the first half, they beat Ipswich 5-0.

Guardiola didn't even dare to imagine what the second half would be like.

This directly puts huge pressure on Guardiola.

After this, when Manchester City meet Ipswich, they not only have to win, but also have to win by a large margin.

And once you lose, it would be a real shame.

So when Guardiola got the news, the originally smug Guardiola suddenly stopped smiling.

The joy of Manchester City's impending victory in the derby was also wiped out at this moment.

He even couldn't wait to finish the current game and go watch the match between Ipswich and Liverpool.

Until one minute before his own game started, Guardiola was still nervously watching the real-time news.

The match between Ipswich and Liverpool was not as tense as the match between Manchester City and Manchester United, so the injury time in the first half was relatively short, and the second half started earlier than the Manchester City derby.

Less than two minutes into the match between Liverpool and Ipswich, when Guardiola was about to follow the players onto the field, he suddenly saw Ipswich's score jump from 0 to 1.

This made Guardiola's eyes light up and a sense of hope instantly arose in his heart.

"Song! Come on!"
-
Time goes back two minutes.

Anfield Stadium.

The fifteen-minute halftime break did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Red Army fans.

When the second half of the game started again, endless cheers rang out again above Anfield Stadium.

After Ipswich served the ball, he quickly passed it to Song Wen's feet.

But at this time, even when the score was five goals behind, Song Wen not only did not move forward, but was further back than in the first half, standing in the position of a defensive midfielder.

This also made many fans who had high hopes for Song Wen's performance in the second half feel very puzzled.

In the Douyin live broadcast room, Zhan Jun frowned and said:

"We can see that Song Wen is currently in the defensive midfielder position. Does this mean he wants to continue to strengthen the defense in the second half?"

Fan Zhiyi was also very puzzled.

Based on his understanding of Song Wen, Song Wen's behavior was obviously inconsistent with his stereotype of Song Wen.

But Song Wen knew that at this moment, he could only play as a defensive midfielder.

Firstly, this is also to facilitate the defense against Liverpool's attack.

If we want to catch up with the score, we must first ensure that the team does not lose the ball again.

Because he was strolling around in the first half, he could use the maximum speed of the sea cucumber player without restriction in the second half.

This can help him assist his teammates in completing the team's defensive tasks.

Secondly, facing Liverpool players pressing high up the pitch, if Song Wen does not retreat to receive the ball and wants to rely on other players to pass the ball to a more forward position, he will often make mistakes and be directly intercepted by Liverpool in the frontcourt.

And by retreating to his position, it is easier to attract Liverpool players to move forward, thus providing better opportunities for McGoldrick and Grealish.

After receiving the ball, Song Wen did not choose to stick to the ball, but passed the ball to Skuse and moved towards the middle himself.

Skuse passed the ball back to Song Wen, and the Liverpool players immediately moved towards Song Wen.

Song Wen just stepped lightly and left the ball in place, then continued to rush forward. After Scuse caught up with the ball, he immediately found that because of Song Wen's running position, a gap appeared on Liverpool's left side.

Skuse passed the ball to Grealish and continued to work around Liverpool's left.

After Grealish found that he had no way to break through quickly, he passed the ball back to Song Wen.

At this time, Song Wen discovered that Liverpool only had one midfielder guarding him, so he was not in a hurry. He passed the ball again and returned to the defensive midfielder position to provide protective support.

At this time, the Ipswich players' positioning, with a few simple passes from Song Wen, the midfielder's position had already crossed the center line.
