Chapter 367 The role of the captain

The first half of the game was over without any further 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 I will tell you the points that need to be paid attention to in tactics..."

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

"It's 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 hear the news after the game is over. Now, we must focus on the field and win the game, which is the most important thing we should do."

"What you said is useless at all!" 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? Also, I want What I’m saying is, your tactics are a mess! What zone defense, this defensive method caused us to lose the ball! It’s your fault!” [

"No, on the contrary, it's your fault for not defending well. The place where his goal happened to be your defensive area, you..."

"I'm too lazy to listen to this!" Carragher interrupted him again, "I want to know about Stephen's situation, that's all. You don't need to talk about things on the pitch. We have more experience than you in things like playing Manchester United. many……"

"Last season, you lost 0-4 in an away game. I can say that this is also called experience."

Carragher narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something again.

"Jimmy, shut up." Carragher's words were interrupted by Hypia, "Listen to what you said, do you look like a team captain? Contradicting the coach and not listening to tactics, this is What should the captain do? The armband is in your hand, if you feel uncomfortable wearing it, I will take it off 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 be a little more careful," Hyypia turned his head and said to Benitez again, "The most important thing in Liverpool's team culture is unity. Never walk alone is our credo , our teammate must pay [-] points of concern. Please don’t do things that put the outcome of the game before the safety of your teammates.”

His words made Benitez nod.

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

"Okay," Benitez said, "first of all, defense. Zone defense doesn't make you stand still. Your defense is too rigid and dogmatic. You don't understand what I mean..."

"How is it, the old captain is good?" In the corner, Riise poked Zhao Yaning, "With such a person, many things in the team should be solved a lot easier."

Zhao Yaning nodded, but he was thinking about another thing.

When I was in Monaco, Monaco would never make trouble like this, and there would never be such a problem.Liverpool is really troubled now.

"Then, in terms of attack, we also have some flaws. I need you to make some changes, which will cause problems in their defense..."——

"Do you want to sing again? The game has reached the second half, I think the players have heard your singing."

Looking at Oliver who was still singing, Beibei couldn't help but speak.From Manchester United's goal to the beginning of the second half, the singing in the stands did not stop. This kind of singing made Beibei feel a little harsh at first, but as time passed, he also felt a little used to it.

"No, we don't just let them hear, we want them to know that we are always behind them, always supporting them, always applauding their achievements." Oliver replied, "We sing because we sing for them." Knowing that we're still rooting for them. As long as they're supporters, sing."

Beibei didn't speak, she still felt a little silly singing like this.

However, after the second half of the game, Beibei found that Liverpool had reversed the decline, and their performance was very different from the first half. [

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

"Without Steven Gerrard, we've basically lost our pre-mid-court ability. So what I need you to do now is to drop back a lot to get the ball. But after you get the ball, don't try to do one-on-ones. Although you have a strong ability, it is a small probability event for one person to break through five. The two side lanes will converge towards the middle lane, and then move forward through the cooperation of the three of you in the middle lane. Minimize one-on-one The number of times, the ball runs around behind the defender, the ball handler passes to the open teammate. This is our overall thinking in the second half."

Zhao Yaning listened and did the same, 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,

Playing like this is basically a way of playing by giving up the edge advantage in exchange for the advantage in the center.Because both sides have been discarded, Liverpool's center has a great advantage.The three offensive players gathered in the middle, and the opponent's midfielder Scholes had to return to the defense, which made the opponent's offense lack an important point.Although Manchester United's wing has an advantage, it cannot be used.Brown's level is limited, and Heinze has not been in the team for a long time. It is difficult for them to provide help for the winger.And Giggs is already old. After losing his speed, although he seeks to transform, he has not completely completed the transformation. He cannot become a strong point. There are big problems, his inexperience and immature mind make it difficult for him to pose too much threat.Manchester United seems to have gained the advantage of the two wings, but in fact, they have almost no advantage at all.Instead, their three midfielders had to delay to organize Liverpool's central press and had lost the initiative.

Zhao Yaning was surprised that a small change of tactics could have such a big effect, and he played harder.

And soon, Liverpool also got a free kick.Kewell was on the left side of the center, and Scholes, who was back on defense, fell down, giving Liverpool a chance to get a free kick.

"You come!" Riise patted Zhao Yaning, motioning for him to take the penalty.

Liverpool's top scorer of free kicks is Riise, and his free kicks are also very interesting.But in several team trainings, Riise already knew how big the technical gap between himself and Zhao Yaning was. At this time, he still gave up the opportunity.

Zhao Yaning took a few steps back, looked at the arrangement of the human wall in the penalty area, and kicked the ball into the penalty area with a curved kick.

Hypia and Kara were heavily marked in the fight, but the football went around a big circle, and instead of flying towards them, it flew towards Finnan who was standing on the edge of the penalty area!

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

Finnan doesn't score very many goals, and it's a good thing for him to score one in a season.It is precisely because of this that there is almost no one around him to guard, which gives him a lot of space and time to prepare, and the angle of the header can also be said to be quite good.

The ball flew towards Carol's legs, and Carol fell to the ground, obviously it was too late, at this moment, all he could do was stretch out his feet and try to kick the ball away.However, the ball hit the ground and hit his calf. He kicked the ball, but instead of kicking the ball far away, he changed the direction of the ball so that it hit O'Shea who was trying to save the ball. .

After the ball hit O'Shea again, it flew towards the goal again.

This time, Carol can do nothing.

"gooool1!!!!!! Liverpool's equalizer goal!!! O'Shea's own goal, Manchester United was equalized by Liverpool at home!!!"

O'Shea hugged her head in frustration, he never thought that he would score an own goal.However, Finnan seemed extremely happy at this time. He had just scored a goal in the last game, and he forced the opponent to score an own goal in this game. For him, such an achievement is already very satisfying.

At this time, Manchester United also made substitution adjustments.They put Rooney on and replaced Scholes for the rest of the game.

"Replacing Scholes is correct. His defensive ability is not very good. Among the people just now, he has already received a yellow card. In this midfield situation, if he continues to play, there will still be problems. Maybe get a second yellow card." Martin Taylor made a judgment, "But isn't the idea of ​​letting Rooney play a little ill-considered? If it is necessary to have a striker who is willing to return to defense, Alan Smith should be better. Rooney is still young after all, he may not be able to do well in defense."

"But at this time, Rooney is photographed, and it is more affirmation and recognition of Rooney." Andy Gray said, "After all, everyone wants to know whether Rooney, who was born in Everton, will have any chances when he faces Liverpool. Very good performance."

After playing Rooney, he was extremely active. He quickly used a breakthrough, which caused Harman to get a yellow card.And this time, it was Ronaldinho's free kick sent to the penalty area. Although he didn't kick high, the ball was intercepted by Hyypia, who accurately judged it, and failed to score. [

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

But this time, Zhao Yaning, who got the ball, quietly adjusted his position.Keane's physical strength has been exhausted a bit, and his speed has dropped.O'Shea received a yellow card, and his defensive actions were a little off.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.
