The Ball at Your Feet

: 367 The Captain's Role

The first half of the game was over without any more kicks. Everyone who walked into the locker room saw that Benitez was already standing next to the tactical board.

"In the first half of the game, we had some problems. Now let me tell you what you need to pay attention to in tactics..."

"Tell me first, how is Stephen?" Carragher interrupted him, "Is his injury serious? Our teammate was injured. It seems that this is not the time to talk about tactics here."

"It is not clear how his injury is. He has been sent to the hospital. After the game, he will naturally know how his injury is." Benitez replied, "Don't worry, this problem can't be solved now, we have to We will learn the news after the game is over. Now, we must focus on the court and winning the game is what we should do the most."

"What you said is useless!" Carragher was already a little angry at this time. "At least, you need to care about our teammates? What tactics are you talking about at this time, what is this? And, I What I want to say is that your tactics are a mess! What zone defense, this method of defense caused us to lose the ball! This is your fault!"

"No, on the contrary, this is the fault of your weak defense. The place where he scored is exactly the area you defended. You..."

"I'm too lazy to listen to this!" Carragher interrupted him again, "I want to know about Stephen's situation, nothing more. You don't need to say more about things on the pitch. We are more experienced than you in playing Manchester United. More..."

"Last season you lost a 0-4 away game. If this is also called experience, I have nothing to say."

Carragher opened his eyes and wanted to say something again.

"Jimmy, shut up." Carragher's words were interrupted by Hypia. "Listen to what you say, do you have what a team captain should be? Confronting the coach, not listening to tactics, this is What should the captain do? The armband is in your hand. If you feel uncomfortable wearing it, I'll press it down for you!"

Carragher lowered his head this time. After all, Hypia, as the former captain, has a very high prestige in the team.

"Coach, please pay attention," Hypia said to Benitez again when he turned his head. "The most important thing in Liverpool's team culture is unity. Never alone is our creed. , Our teammates must report 12 points of concern. In this way, the victory or defeat of the game is put before the safety of the teammates, please stop doing it.

His words made Benitez nodded.

"So, now, please talk about the tactical arrangement." Hypia said, "We are all listening."

"Okay," Benitez said, "The first is defense. The area defense doesn't make you stand still, your defense is too rigid and dogmatic, and you don't understand what I mean..."

"How about it, the old captain is good?" In the corner, Rise stabbed Zhao Yaning. "With such a person, there are many things in the team that have to be solved a lot better."

Zhao Yaning nodded, but there was another thing in his mind.

When I was in Monaco, Monaco never made trouble like this, nor would such a problem arise. Liverpool is really troubled now.

"Then, on the offensive side, there are some flaws in what we did. I need you to make some changes to make their defense problematic..."

"No, we don't just let them hear, we want them to know that we have been behind them, we have been supporting them, and we have been cheering for their achievements." Oliver replied, "We sing for them. Knowing that we are still supporting them. As long as they are supporters, they all sing."

Beibei didn't speak, she still thought it was a bit silly to sing like this.

But after the second half of the game, Beibei discovered that Liverpool had actually reversed the decline, and their performance was very different from the first half.

At this time, Zhao Yaning, who was on the court, was also doing what Benitez said.

"Without Gerrard, our ability to intervene in front of the midfield is basically gone. Therefore, what I need you to do now is to withdraw the ball drastically. But after taking the ball, don't try to do one-on-one. Although you have a strong ability to break through, it is a small probability event for one person to break through five. The two sides will converge to the middle, and then move forward in the middle through the cooperation of the three of you. Try to minimize one pair For the number of times, the ball-free player walked around behind the defender, and the ball-handler passed the ball to the open teammate. This is our overall thinking in the second half."

Zhao Yaning listened this way and did so, and he found that after the second half, Liverpool's game was indeed much more stable.

There should be a reason. Zhao Yaning thought about this question. Soon he had the answer,

This way of playing is basically a play that relies on giving up the side advantage in exchange for the mid-range advantage. Because both sides have been abandoned, Liverpool's center has a great advantage. Three offensive players gathered in the middle, and the opponent's midfielder Scholes must also return to defense, which also made the opponent's offense lack an important point. Although Manchester United's wing has an advantage, it can't be used. Brown's level is limited, and Heinze hasn't been in the team for a long time. They are all very difficult to provide help for the wingers. And Giggs is already old. After losing his speed, although he seeks to transform, he has not yet completely completed the transformation, unable to become a strong point, and Ronaldinho’s skills and consciousness are still good. There are big problems. His lack of experience and immaturity make it difficult for him to generate too much threat. Manchester United seem to have the advantage of two wingers, but in fact, they almost have no advantage at all. On the contrary, their three midfielders had to postpone the forward pressure of Liverpool's midfield and have lost the initiative.

A small change can play such a big role, which surprised Zhao Yaning and played harder.

And soon, Liverpool also got a free kick. Kewell was on the left side of the center and was overthrown by Scholes who returned to the defense, giving Liverpool a free kick.

"Come on!" Rise patted Zhao Yaning, motioning for him to punish him.

Liverpool's first free-kick player is Riise, and his powerful and miraculous free-kick method is also very worth seeing. But in several training sessions within the team, Riise already knew how big the technical gap between him and Zhao Yaning was. At this time, he still gave up the opportunity.

Zhao Yaning stepped back and looked at the arrangement of the walls in the penalty area, and kicked the ball into the penalty area with a curve ball.

Hypia and Carla were marked to death in the fight, but the football bypassed a big circle and did not fly to them, but flew to Finnan, who was standing on the edge of the small penalty area!

Finnan jumped up, shook his head, and pushed the ball towards the goal.

Finnan doesn't score a lot. It's a good thing that he can miss one in a season. Because of this, there is almost no one around him watching defense, which gives him a lot of space and time to prepare, and the angle of heading the ball can be said to be quite good.

The ball flew towards Carol's leg. Carol fell to the ground. It was obviously too late. At this time, all he could do was to stretch out his foot and try to kick the ball away. But after the ball bounced on the ground, it hit his calf. He kicked the ball and failed to kick the ball far. Instead, it changed the direction of the ball and made the ball hit O'Shea who saved the ball. Body.

After the ball bounced on O'Shea again, it flew to the goal again.

This time, Carol was helpless.

"Al1!!!!!! Liverpool's equalized goal!!! O'Shea's own goal made Manchester United equalized by Liverpool at home!!!"

O'Shea hugged his head in annoyance, but he did not expect that he would score an own goal. But Finnan seemed extremely happy at this time. He just scored a goal in the last game, and this game forced the opponent to cause an own goal. For him, such an achievement is already worthy of satisfaction.

At this time, ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Manchester United also made substitution adjustments. They let Rooney play, replaced Scholes, to play the rest of the game.

"It's correct to replace Scholes. His defensive ability is not very good. In the push just now, he has already received a yellow card. And now in this midfield situation, if he plays again, it will still be It’s possible to get a second yellow card." Martin Taylor made a judgment, "But is the idea of ​​putting Rooney on the court a little under-considered? If you need a forward who is willing to return to defense, Alan Smith should be better. Some. After all, Rooney is still young, he may not be able to do well in defensive matters."

"But at this time, when Rooney is photographed, it is more affirmation and recognition of Rooney." Andy Gray said, "After all, everyone wants to know that Rooney, who was born in Everton, will not match Liverpool. There will be a good performance."

After playing Rooney, he was extremely active, he quickly used a breakthrough, causing Harman to get a yellow card. And this time, Ronaldinho's free kick was sent to the penalty area. Although he didn't kick high, it was intercepted by the accurately judged Hypia and failed to form a goal.

There were problems with consecutive free kicks, which also made Ronaldinho seem a little annoyed. But technology is not something you can have in anxiousness. No matter how anxious he is, at this time, he can only watch the ball be controlled by Liverpool again.

But this time, Zhao Yaning, who got the ball, also quietly adjusted his position. Keane's physical strength was a bit severe, and his speed had dropped. O'Shea received a yellow card, and some defensive moves were not at home. After Scholes went down, Rooney's defensive ability could not make up for the shortcomings of the midfield...

Maybe, it's time for me to do something.
