ball at foot

After finishing the conversation with Benitez, Zhao Yaning also came to the team and greeted his teammates one by one.

This summer, the team introduced several newcomers.However, because they did not play in the Champions League last season, the team only earned 300 million yuan in the European competition. In addition to the departure of Houllier, it cost nearly 400 million yuan to change the coaching staff. Now Liverpool already owes a lot of money , Therefore, the signings are not very strong.

Among the few new aids, Harvey Alonso Zhao Yaning has seen it before. They knew each other when Zhao Yaning received the award in Monaco.Alonso played the Champions League with Real Sociedad last season and lost to Lyon after entering the knockout round.And because most of the Spanish teams do not have a strong lineup and lack of two-line combat capabilities, last season's Real Sociedad failed to grab the Champions League spot in the end.Although Alonso has been rumored to be acquired by Real Madrid in the summer to supplement Madrid's insufficient backcourt, but because Madrid fans complained that the team's signings are not star-studded, Florentino decided to acquire Jin Owen, who has the ball award in hand, did not introduce him.It is precisely because of this that he moved to Liverpool.

At the beginning of this season, because of Harman's aging, he is now firmly seated in the midfield with Gerrard.The cooperation between the two of them was excellent, but it hardened Liverpool's waist.

The other signing is Luis Garcia.He is a Catalan from the youth training of FC Barcelona.Because Barcelona is currently reorganizing around Ronaldinho, Cruyff and Russell negotiated and decided: Cruyff’s fancy foreign players and youth players who can’t play in the game will be dumped, and then according to Russell’s idea, Buying Brazilians as a skeleton, and collaborating with the outstanding players of Barcelona's youth training to achieve results, he became a victim, and because he played under Benitez during his loan at Tenerife, he is now Also brought to Liverpool by Benitez. [

The last signing was Argentine Milito from Serie A.

Genoa played very well last season. They got the No.1 result in the Italian second division. Diego Milito played 59 times in all competitions and scored 33 goals. He has a pretty good record. Even at the end of the season, many teams were rumored to buy him, including giants like Inter Milan.Moreover, he was also successfully selected for the Argentine national team and played for the national team.

But in the match-fixing case that came out at the end of this season, Genoa was forced to relegate to the C League because of their match-fixing problem.And when something like this happened, Diego Milito was naturally unwilling to stay in Genoa, and just as Benitez was looking for a striker, he took advantage of the opportunity to go to Liverpool.

In fact, Benitez's first choice was the Spaniard David Villa, but the problem is that Villa is unwilling to play abroad anyway, which makes Benitez's signings successful.Milito is already a last resort.And this transaction also made the team use up the last bit of the transfer fee. Benitez originally hoped to buy Josemi, who played right back to replace Finnan, and had no money to sign up.

And Benitez's signings are all Spanish-speaking people, which also shows his thoughts: he seems to be ready to let the team take the Spanish route.

At this time, Liverpool's personnel composition is still quite complicated.Gerrard, Carragher, Finnan, Kirkland and Warnock, who are on the bench at home, are all from the British Isles. In addition, Kewell and other famous players in the Premier League are all from the Premier League. of.

And Riise, Traore, Dior, and Diouf who is on loan, these people are all players bought from Ligue [-] during Houllier's time.

And then there is Hyypia headed, including Biscayne, Dudek, Henchoz, Baros and other players from various small European countries.

Among these people, some are the absolute main force: Dudek and Hyypia are all like this.This season, the aging Henchoz is no longer able to play. Carragher replaced his main position, no longer used as a rotation, but fixed as a central defender.Not surprisingly, Baros will also be the main force of the team, after all, Pangler's level is too low.

Gerrard, Carragher, and Finnan are now the absolute main players of the team.Among them, Gerrard is the captain of the team.He is now known as one of the three Premier League midfielders alongside Keane and Vieira at a young age, and his strength is extremely outstanding.

This summer, Chelsea called out to buy Gerrard for a summer, and the offer was 3200 million pounds, and promised to give him the highest salary in the Premier League equal to Terry, but in the end, Gerrard still rejected Chelsea's solicitation.

And Carragher is the current team deputy.He played all over the defense in the past, but this season, he has only settled on his position.He has a loud voice, but he can't speak clearly. Even the British ridiculed him and said that when the British media interviewed him, they needed a translator.

And Kewell is also one of the main players of the team.His skills should be considered the best in the team, but the nickname Glass Man has always been with him.

Among the members of the French gang, Riise is the most promising.The other Traore and Dior are all weaker.And Diouf was even rented out because he recruited j during the national team game, which annoyed the team's top management.

It's just some of Riise's faults, and Zhao Yaning has also heard of it: he can play left back and left midfielder, he has great foot strength, and he also loves far she.There was a time when he charged 30 meters away from the goal, and the defender had no time to return to the defense, forming a one-on-one chance. Instead of rushing into the penalty area, he chose to take a long shot... There are private rumors in Monaco that Coach Petit was at that time He was so angry that he had to sell him.

Although these people have different tempers, they don't have any thorns, which makes Zhao Yaning still happy. If he has to be busy with intrigue while playing football, it will be annoying to death.

Zhao Yaning took the initiative to say hello to Gerrard, Alonso, Riise and others. They were all very easy to talk to, and they all greeted Zhao Yaning’s affairs.

But no matter what, everyone is a player. When it comes to speaking, it is the question of skills that is the most attractive.

"Let's just play a game." When it comes to this question, Carragher directly put forward his own opinion, "Play a game, you can see clearly how good your strength is, what your style is. Don't talk, there is a fart effect?"[

Everyone agrees with this statement.Zhao Yaning was a little surprised by this: In France, after the arrival of new players, they always had to show off their skills for everyone to see. Why did it become a game when they came to the UK?It seems that there is still a big gap in the football atmosphere between the two sides.

During the team training match, Zhao Yaning quickly felt the big difference between Liverpool and Monaco.

One is that Liverpool's backcourt is tougher. These people's defensive abilities are indeed very strong.Whether it is Gerrard, Alonso, or Hyypia, Henchoz, and Carragher, everyone has a strong one-on-one defensive ability, and their defensive tacit understanding and tactical coordination The abilities are also very good. Compared with Monaco, the tactical coordination is still worse.

And he also quickly realized that the Premier League game is indeed very different from Ligue [-]. The rhythm here is faster and the speed is faster. Simple and fast, without too much procrastination and redundant actions.Such a style of play is rare in Ligue [-] where technology is paramount.

On the contrary, people have repeatedly said that the physical resistance is stronger, the movement is bigger, etc. Zhao Yaning does not feel deeply: Ligue [-] is the one with the strongest comprehensive physical fitness among the five major leagues, and the confrontation itself is not weak. Zhao Yaning is used to playing in France. A, it is easier to adapt to the problem of confrontation intensity.

And after adapting to the rhythm, he quickly discovered another advantage of this team: their midfielder's passing ability is very good.

Gerrard is well-known. Since his debut, he has always been regarded as a super midfielder of the Premier League alongside Keane and Vieira. In the eyes of someone like Zhao Yaning who is used to the Ligue [-] midfielder, his defensive ability It's not that brilliant, but his forward penetration ability, passing ability, and shooting ability are all outstanding that Zhao Yaning has never seen before.

Although Yaya Toure also has a strong penetration ability, his assist and pass ability is much worse than that of Gerrard.Not to mention Gerrard's long pass, Zhao Yaning was very comfortable to catch it.

The same is true for another midfielder Alonso.Although his defensive ability is a bigger problem in Zhao Yaning’s eyes, at least his range of activities is not very good, but his passing organization ability is even better than Gerrard’s. When the space was open, he passed the ball immediately. This ability made Zhao Yaning feel amazing.

The French midfielder focuses on defense, the British midfielder focuses on inserting, and the Spanish midfielder focuses on scheduling. It really is true.The teams built by different football concepts in each country will be completely different. The abilities of these two midfielders have opened Zhao Yaning's eyes.

But when it comes to offensive ability, Zhao Yaning can only smile wryly.It was the first time for him and Kewell to cooperate, and they couldn't find any rhythm, so don't consider the support from the left.This made Zhao Yaning, who was used to working with Roten, very uncomfortable.Roten is a nearly perfect secondary attacker, both in terms of timing of insertion and selection of bottom crosses.But Kewell is different.And Luis Garcia in the middle also made Zhao Yaning feel awkward. His skills are good, but compared with Giuli, he has a huge problem, that is, he is too sticky to the ball.

For the first time, Zhao Yaning knew that sticking the ball would cause so much trouble to his teammates.

What made him even more troublesome was that the problem of Baros sticking the ball was just as big. With such a striker, Zhao Yaning really didn't know how to dispatch it.

He himself likes to dribble, but now, he can only try not to dribble more, but to pass more.And at this time, he also agreed with Benitez's statement, such a team, such a few people's tactical characteristics, what they need is not to immediately consider offensive football, but to find a way, how to organize the offensive line .

Maybe defensive counterattack is really a good choice. Although Zhao Yaning doesn't like this tactic, the team really doesn't have any more considerations.Now that we are in the period of renewal, what else can we say?

When he was thinking about this, he didn't realize that his current thinking was completely regarding himself as the core of the midfield.Although Benitez did not give him this treatment, he still put himself in this position in his heart.

But Zhao Yaning didn’t notice that after trying to cooperate with Zhao Yaning several times, the other players on the team also admired him.

"It's worthy of being a famous person on the Ballon d'Or list." They also admired Zhao Yaning's skills. How many are skilled? Okocha? Juninho? Anyway, in my opinion, he is definitely better than the Portuguese from Manchester United, and even better than the Dutchman from Chelsea."

"It's still the same sentence, let's wait and see." Gerrard still has a conservative attitude towards this. "We will play West Bromwich Albion in the next game, and see how his debut performance is, and then we can talk."
