Football nukes: a pound buys a club

Chapter 242

Zhang Chong called up Keane and asked him to come on as a substitute.

It was a strange coincidence that Keane was forced to be replaced in the last ten minutes in the last game, and Keane was replaced in this game.

Of course, Zhang Chong definitely didn't want this kind of coincidence to happen.

After Little Keane came on the field, Bury continued the tactics they formulated before the game, and the rhythm of the two sides was still very fast.

However, Zhang Chong made the team's offense deliberately tilted to the left. After all, Arnold's defense was broken, and he still had a yellow card.

No. 301 minutes, Liverpool got a good chance, Mane cut in from the left, Firmino in the center retreated to meet, Mane did not hesitate, passed the ball to him, and then directly inserted into the penalty area.

Mazraoui and Shik naturally wanted to pay attention to Mane's movements, Mazraoui followed closely, and Shik's center of gravity moved a little, preparing to intercept Firmino's pass.

But Firmino did not choose to pass to Mane at all, but directly chose to pass in reverse to the right space!

At this time, Salah understood, and took two steps away from Robertson's defense and received the football!

John Fox had to go to make up for it, but Salah made a false shot and directly dunked Fox's rush!

At this time, Salah has gained a considerable shooting space, and he does not hesitate to shoot directly with his left foot!

But Mendy made a world-class save, he got off the ground quickly and saved the ball!

This is Liverpool's best chance since the start of the season.

Klopp on the sidelines regretfully clapped his hands.

Although Zhang Chong applauded Mendy's wonderful performance, he knew that it would be difficult to keep a clean sheet at Liverpool's home court.

Especially the two animals on the side road, it really made any team terrified.

Therefore, he has only one way, and that is to attack!

Fortunately, their offensive line is also the best in the Premier League!

No.309 minutes, Keane got the chance to eat Arnold one-on-one.

Arnold didn't dare to step down at all, and Keane used a change of direction to completely sway him.

When he came near the bottom line, he looked at the situation in the penalty area and decisively chose to pass the ball to the penalty area line.

Mesias appeared in that position, and he directly chose to volley!

But Van Dijk stood up one step earlier and blocked the ball with his body!

Zhang Chong sighed in his heart, this position selection ability is too powerful!

If I had such a number one player in the lineup, I would say every day that my defense could publish books.

Throughout the first half, the chances of both sides were almost the same, and the overall situation was still a balance.

The second half depends on how long the players' physical strength can last.

Zhang Chong frowned. Usually, Bury's players had the upper hand in physical fitness, but this time the situation was different.

Shik and Kanter are players who have fully experienced the last ten-on-eleven game. The physical strength of the two of them will be the team's goal.

However, the role of the two of them in the team is very difficult to replace, especially Shik. There is only one Dick William on the bench who played the whole game last game. Can the back line formed by him and John Fox be able to stand up? Live Liverpool's attack, it will be a big doubt.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made personnel adjustments. They were obviously very cautious and did not want to break this balance of power.

However, both sides also understand that when the physical peak arrives at 10 minutes, there will be variables on the field.

Let's see who can withstand this wave!

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, neither side showed signs of fatigue, and the pace was still fast.

But after six or 10 minutes, many players began to show a certain degree of fatigue.

And Klopp first made substitution adjustments, replacing Milner with Moreno.

Zhang Chong replaced Harland by Ivan Tony.

After a few more minutes, the physical fitness of both sides had passed their peak, but the players with poor physical condition began to have problems.

At No. 706 minutes, the situation on the field changed!

Arnold made a pass at a 45-degree angle, and Shik in the penalty area took the lead to push the ball out.

But after Henderson stopped the football outside the penalty area, he sent the ball into the penalty area with a straight kick!

Firmino in the penalty area knowingly advanced and got the football!

Shike, who was supposed to follow him, was a little weak and couldn't keep up with this step!

Zhang Chong could clearly see that Shike's right leg was a little unnatural the moment he took off and landed just now, and this might make him cramp!

But the arena is changing rapidly, and this one-second change is enough to change everything!

Firmino received the football and directly knocked on Bury's door with a light push!

Liverpool lead [-]-[-] at home!

Klopp hit his signature farmer three punches, while Zhang Chong reluctantly replaced Shike with Dick William.

Fortunately, Shike just had some cramps, which made Zhang Chong feel relieved.

The team can't afford to hurt!

In the next game, Bury launched a crazy attack.

They were unwilling to take away a loss at Anfield, but Van Dijk in front of the goal made them return without success time and time again.

And Klopp also used Klein to take down Arnold's defensive colander, and Klein, who had superior physical strength, successfully froze Keane's offense.

No.90 In two minutes, Bury launched the last attack.

This time they chose the right. After Bowen cut inside and sent a diagonal plug, Mesias inserted into the penalty area and swept the ball in front of Van Dijk's defense.

Van Dijk failed to intercept this time, and the football quickly slid past the goal, but Ivan Tony's toes were only a dozen centimeters short!

In fact, if the ball is not threatened by Van Dijk, Mesias can pass it back a little bit.

Then Ivan Tony is very likely to be able to get it.

This is the deterrence of Van Dijk, even if he does not touch the ball, he can also affect Bury's offense.

The ball rolled off the baseline, and Bury's last drive went nowhere.

Zhang Chong reluctantly accepted the defeat.

After the game, Klopp's excited expression was in stark contrast to Zhang Chong's expressionless face. Many sports reporters captured this moment and prepared to use this photo as a headline.

Fortunately, in another game of this round, Manchester City was tied away by their opponents, and the points gap between the two sides was only narrowed to six points.

Zhang Chong didn't say anything after the game, but told everyone to rest quickly, and there will be a home game against Chelsea three days later.

With two consecutive losses on all fronts, they must stop the decline in this game, otherwise they will suffer a catastrophe.

On the second day, even more bad news came. After further examinations, Mbappé's ankle ligament was strained and he will be sidelined for three to four weeks.

Zhang Chong couldn't help but sighed, this situation is really difficult...
