Midfielder.

Chapter 342

If a person learns to be shameless, there is absolutely no lower limit. This sentence has been perfectly reflected in Benitez. In order not to lose to Chelsea at home, he played tactically this time. That's it. It can be said that this guy didn't plan to attack at any time, he just wanted to defend.

And it is necessary to defend to the end, otherwise this guy will not put Biscayne in the starting list, and will not let Harman and Alonso both nest in the midfielder position. It can be seen that this guy is To lock the middle.

Including that Gerrard may have to withdraw to participate in the frontal defense at any time during the game. Maybe by then Liverpool will no longer play a three-back midfielder formation, but will become an out-and-out four-back midfielder defensive formation.

At this moment, it is estimated that even those diehard Liverpool fans are a little confused, because this weird tactical arrangement has never appeared in previous games, let alone whether they have really seen the effect of this tactic.

Who can guarantee that this tactic will work?It is estimated that only Benitez himself thinks this formation is helpful for defense.

For this reason, he can even sacrifice the team's offense. This is also the tenth lineup he has changed this season.

But it can be seen that this guy definitely put a lot of thought into this formation, otherwise he would never be able to be so stubborn in believing that Chelsea's offensive direction is in the middle, so he specially put up a defense of three midfielders for this purpose.

why is it like this?I guess the answer is already very simple. In the first three confrontations, he was forced to open the gap from the middle lane by Lin Yi. It can be said that the madness of that kid in the middle lane made him very scared.

Benitez knows he can't afford to lose this semi-final, so he would rather play ugly home and away games now.

He is also unwilling to let Lin Yi and Chelsea poke a few more holes in him. Benitez is now willing to draw in both rounds, and then finish the last 30 minutes of overtime and go straight to the point. Go for the ball tiebreaker.

When Mourinho saw Benitez's tactical choice, for a moment, he doubted whether the Spanish bald man had really been destroyed by himself and Lin Yi. Gone.

I agree to leave the final hope of promotion to the penalty shootout, betting on the kind of luck that each has 50.00%, and I don't want to take risks on the court. I really don't know if the past three games have really cast a psychological shadow on that guy.

"Look at what you two have done." Brito said while holding Liverpool's roster, biting his teeth.

"Uh, I don't seem to have done anything to him, right?" Lin Yi looked at the list with an innocent face and lamented.

This your mother is an extremely cruel formation. Lin Yi is really worried, if there are twelve players in a football match, will the Spanish bald guy really have four midfielders to defend himself?

While that's certainly a bit of an exaggeration, Brito believes it's not out of the realm of possibility, if at all possible.

Because that kid Lin Yi is simply a nightmare for many defensive midfielders, and sometimes two people can't beat him.

Now Liverpool sent three midfielders to solve Lin Yi's threat from the root, cut off Chelsea's pass in the middle, and surrounded their most threatening knife with three scabbards, so that he would not be allowed at all. shine.

I don't know if this is a crime, but Mourinho really has no good way to deal with Benitez's shameless defense. Before playing, he can only fight with Drogba, Robben, Duff explain.

"Try to find breakthrough opportunities on the two sides, try to find Drogba in the penalty area, the opponent has arranged three midfielders, there will definitely be loopholes that can be exploited in the defense of the two sides, find it, and use it reasonably .”

Since Benitez put the focus of defense in the middle, now Mourinho can only make a fuss on the wing. After all, Lin Yi and Lampard are caught in the opponent's three-man siege. Very unwise choice.

Tear the gap from the wing, and then rely on Drogba's header to find opportunities in the penalty area. At least when facing Carragher and Hyypia, the strong African elephant does not suffer. The advantages.

In this kind of on-the-spot response, Mourinho reacted quickly, but again, this guy is really speechless about this tactic.

"What kind of brain can come up with such a way?" Mourinho is really a little wry now.

However, Benitez didn't care about the reaction of the home fans and the opponent's surprise. Maybe this guy wanted this kind of effect. He wanted to play like this in this game, and no one could change his decision.

It is said that Chelsea's defense is terrible, but the most real feeling of Benitez's Chelsea is the kind of efficient offense. Maybe he doesn't need to hold the ball for a long time, but as long as he has a chance, he can immediately penetrate the defense.

Perhaps such a tactic of three midfielders and four defenders is ugly, but it can definitely ensure that Liverpool's goal can be stabilized. How can we prevent the opponent from taking away goals? This is what Benitez has to consider now.

Everyone knows how scary the place at Stamford Bridge is. Benitez has not naively thought that he is more offensive than Bayern and Barcelona, ​​so he has no intention of going to the away game to get it back after losing the ball at home.

Perhaps this defensive formation with three midfielders will allow the opponent to find opportunities to break through the cross from the wing, but Benitez obviously allows the opponent to find a gap from the wing. Compared with the wing, he obviously cares more about the defense in the center.

Lin Yi's ability to make waves in the middle lane is too powerful, and his existence is also the reason why Benitez shrinks back.

In the previous three games against Chelsea, it is not that Benitez has not experimented with double defensive midfielders to be responsible for defense, but Alonso's defensive ability is obviously not at the same level as Gerrard's. He is still better at offensive organization.

Of course Benitez knew the problems of his fellow countryman, so this time he deliberately threw an extra Biscayne beside Alonso, just to let this guy and Harman use tough methods to completely stare at Lin Yi. .

As long as the kid is not allowed to approach Liverpool's goal in the middle, Chelsea's offense will lose its usual sharp feeling. Benitez thinks that his defense can still defend the cross that comes in from the wing.

At least it won't be as difficult as dealing with Lin Yi's ghostly breakthrough, Benitez has had enough of that kid.

Perhaps it is because Benitez also used this defensive strategy to seal Juventus's absolute core Del Piero in the away game, so this guy has made up his mind to continue this tactical arrangement at Anfield.

"Trap that black-haired kid, I don't care what you do, I need him to lose his ability to organize!"

This is the task that Benitez gave to Harman, Biscayne and Alonso before he went on the field. Now he can only rely on this three-back tactic to kill Lin Yi's pass in the midfield. , to disrupt Chelsea's attack.

But how effective such a platoon can be, I guess even Benitez himself is a little uncertain. Although he can score a clean sheet against Juventus in an away game, it's not Chelsea, and Del Piero is not that kid Lin Yi.

Who dares to guarantee that "Prince Zebra" must be stronger than Lin Yi?Who can guarantee that the black-haired kid will be trapped?At the moment before playing, Benitez could only grit his teeth and take a gamble.

If the bet wins, then although Liverpool played ugly, at least they can keep their home court from being captured.

If he loses the bet, Benitez is ready to pack up his bedding and leave Liverpool immediately.

Anyway, life or death depends on this game. If God is destined to let him go, he will receive a dismissal decision from the club's senior management after this game. Regarding this, Benitez firmly believes suspect.

Even if those American bosses once said that no matter what the record of this season is, they will not replace Benitez as the coach, but the Spanish bald man knows in his heart that it is impossible for a team like Liverpool to tolerate his own After the team lost the European qualification for the top six in the league, it will also face the embarrassment of being out of the Champions League.

If next season is not even eligible to participate in the European war, then needless to say, Gerrard will undoubtedly go.

If there is no such soul figure, what Liverpool must face is to overthrow and rebuild, and there is no room for negotiation.

Anyway, if he can't make it in the Champions League this season, even if the club doesn't fire him, Benitez doesn't want to stay any longer. A rebuilt team is simply not suitable for people like him who have no management mind.

It can be seen from the buying experience he asked for in the past half season that Benitez simply doesn't know how to select talents.

Among the group of players he selected, only Alonso is worth the money, Baros barely meets the value, and most of the rest are defective products, like Morientes and Luis Garcia are nothing at all play.

Even now, many Liverpool fans have publicly reprimanded Benitez, saying that he would only consider Spanish players.

Among the people they bought, they were all high-paid and low-skilled, and they were all selected by Benitez himself, and most of them were his fellow Spaniards, so there may not be anything wrong with what the fans said.

This Spaniard trusts his compatriots too much, and completely forgets how many Spanish players have succeeded in the Premier League. The last guy who won the championship here no one knows his name.

However, Benitez's accuracy in judging people has not improved because of his frequent mistakes in buying people. On the contrary, it has become a bit worse. In terms of managing players, he also appears to be very bad.

But this time Benitez is taking a gamble. Even if he fights for character and ugliness, he will completely drag Chelsea to death.

But this guy's desperate fight, I don't know if it will really have any effect. Anyway, when the Liverpool fans filed out from the tunnel, the shouts obviously revealed a guilty conscience.

Can you keep it?No one knows, including the Liverpool players, everyone is confused. . .

(Hey, today's Celtics really lost because of luck. Rondo's layup went in, but he could still turn out. I rub it, it's so weird!)
