football dynasty

When the team is in trouble, people will always involuntarily pin their hopes on someone, maybe the team's head coach, eager for him to make a magical substitution.

It could also be a player who is not just playing on the football pitch but also on the bench.

This time, Liverpool fans couldn't help but focus on Suarez who was sitting on the bench. Not only did the Liverpool fans proudly go to the Schalke Stadium do so, but the TV broadcast footage also came to Suarez. .

Suarez in front of the camera didn't make people see anything special. He just tilted his head and pursed his lips to watch the football game.

Commentator: "How good would it be if Suarez were on the football field now? Not only can he become a player like Messi, he can score several goals through his dribbling, but he is also a player who can connect the frontcourt He can not only score goals, but also instigate attacks. Compared with Liverpool's Zhengyin striker Sturridge, although the 89 teenager made a big splash in this year's European Cup, it has to be said that compared to Suarez Sturridge’s role on the football field is much narrower than Sturridge’s contribution to Liverpool. He is just a pure shooter, and he is also a selfish shooter. When the football is at his feet, he tends to pass less. It was a pass, the timing wasn't right, it was a pass because he was cornered by the defense."

…………

Sturridge's technical characteristics were quickly used by the Schalke 04 defensive players who were familiar with his playing style. If the football reached Sturridge's feet, the Schalke 04 players would not immediately go up to press, but It is to give Sturridge a seemingly good breakthrough space.But after Sturridge breaks through one man, he will suddenly find himself in an encirclement. At this time, if he passes the ball again, not to mention that the difficulty of passing the ball increases. Even if the football is passed, it will be difficult for other Liverpool players to get the ball and organize immediately. A wave of new offenses can only be poured and poured continuously, and finally the football reaches the goalkeeper's feet without knowing it.

Even if Liverpool still did not lose possession at this time, even if Liverpool's possession rate was as high as 80.00%, even if Liverpool still did not concede the ball at this time, this is not what Levi wants to see, let alone what Liverpool fans want to see.

Liverpool is a giant!

If the opponent is Bayern Munich, Liverpool fans may still be able to accept that they have not broken through the opponent's goal so far, but they have been suppressed by the opponent in terms of the number of shots. Big Mac.Even though they have not won the Champions League for many years, no one dares to underestimate this solid team.

What kind of team is Schalke 04 in comparison?
The time when Schalke 04 was great was at the turn of the new century.In the Europa League in 1997, he defeated the powerful Inter Milan on penalties and won the Europa League championship, which was still relatively high in gold content at that time.

In the 2000-2001 season, Schalke 04 became an impressive dark horse in the Bundesliga.Not only won the German Cup, but also led the way in the league, always at the top of the standings, but was reversed by Bayern Munich in the last round, and finally fell short, finishing second in the league, failing to win both the league and the cup. Trophy wish.

But up to now, Schalke 04's strength in the league is not very good.Although they won the third place in the Bundesliga last season, it is not so much how powerful Schalke 04 is, it is better to say that their tactics with Huntelaar as the core are very successful, relying on Huntelaar to be strong The scoring ability ranked third in the league.

Even so, looking at the record of Schalke 04, it makes people feel that it is not how powerful Schalke 04 is, but that the Bundesliga is too polarized.

Last season, that is, the 2011-2012 Bundesliga standings, Dortmund ranked first with 81 points, and Bayern Munich ranked second with 73 points.Schalke 04 has only 64 points, which is a full seventeen league points away from No.1.

In the transfer market, Schalke 04 did not buy powerful players because they won the third place in the league.

Schalke 04 has as many as ten players leaving the team this summer, the most famous of which is "King of the Ring" Raul.Among these players, there are both free transfers and leases. Only three players contributed transfer fees to Schalke 04, only a mere 240 million euros.

Of course, what a team does in the transfer market depends not only on transfer income, but also on salary space.The wages of ten players including Raul are missing, especially Raul, as a football superstar, Schalke 04 pays him a lot of money every year.Raul's annual salary in Schalke 04 was as high as 700 million euros. Although 200 million euros were subsidized by Real Madrid, Schalke 04 also had to spend 500 million euros in real money!
Without Raul's salary, how can Schalke 04 have a transfer budget of 500 million euros, right?

As a result, Schalke 04 only recruited two free transfer players in the transfer market this summer, and then rented a player from Barcelona at a low price. The only player who transferred was Obasi. Will also play in the middle class.Schalke 04 paid 400 million euros for him this summer.

But from the current point of view, the 400 million euros is of little significance, Obasi is just on the bench, he can not shake Huntelaar's starting position in the team.

With just such a team, Liverpool has no other way. With a ball possession rate as high as 80.00%, Schalke 04 is stronger than Liverpool in terms of threat from the scene.

No wonder Liverpool fans are upset about this.

Some fans of the visiting team who came to the scene with the team chanted Suarez's name, although due to the number of people, such voices were not so clear, even if you listen carefully, you can only capture fragmentary sounds of words.But Suarez's agent Pere Guardiola, who was also in the stands of Liverpool fans, was smiling all over his face at this time.

He looked down, and Li Wei's back was facing him, which prevented him from seeing Li Wei's expression at this time, which made Pere Guardiola feel a little regretful.

Even so, it does not affect Pere Guardiola secretly said to Levi: Levi, do you think that this transfer can be changed by not letting Louis start?If you can't lead the team to victory, you are nothing!
