ball at foot

"For this game, we have to change our formation."

Benitez looked at the tactical board and spoke for a long time.

"Why?" Yesterdan was a little puzzled.

"In our last game against Chelsea, we didn't do a good job defensively." Benitez said, "This game, we can't make the same mistake again."

"This game is different from the last one after all." Yesterdan said, "In this game, their Robben was injured." [

"So we have to be more careful." Benitez said, "They will definitely make corresponding changes to deal with this game. We still have to consider how to change the formation to deal with them."

"Their changes?" Yesterdan felt a little ridiculous, and he looked down on Mourinho, "Just the coach who likes to watch the referee lounge for nothing, is busy publishing his autobiography, being interviewed, and celebrating goals. How is it like a coach!"

"Paco, you can look down on your opponent's character, but don't look down on your opponent's ability. He is a very good coach, otherwise he wouldn't be able to lead the team to become number one in the league..."

"That's their foundation."

"At least it shows that his strength is not inferior to Ranieri's. Do you dare to be so relaxed against Ranieri's team?"

Yesterdan shrugged, "Well, I was wrong. Then, do you know how their tactics will change?"

"I don't know." Benitez shook his head. "Coach Mourinho is a full-fledged gambler. How would I know which bet the gambler bet on? I never gamble."

"Then how do you make targeted arrangements?"

"We don't gamble, but we can be on the safe side." Benitez said, "According to their lineup and who is the main force, it is still possible to make a rough judgment."

"Roben is injured, their attacking speed must be limited, and Duff's breakthrough with the ball is not good after all. And their midfielder has not made up for the same problem. What we need to do is still to seize the middle game , press the wing.” Benitez looked at the lineup and analyzed, “I need Riise and Finnan to know how to play on both sides: if Duff is on the left, then Riise and the central defender maintain a parallel position, and Finan Nan goes in and presses him forward. If Duff goes to the right, it's the other way around. Three front midfielders, Kewell and Garcia both cut inside, Joey's position was delayed, relying on numbers to maintain the midfield advantage, giving up the attack from the side, defending from the side, and attacking from the center, first stabilized the fence, and then Let us forcefully knock on their door from the middle!"

--------------------------------------------

"Liverpool's approach must be to attack our defense from the center." Looking at the tactical board, Mourinho expressed his own judgment.

"Why?" Clark, his assistant coach, asked beside him.

"Isn't it obvious? They have no other way to play us." Mourinho said, "I watched the last Liverpool game, do you know what I feel? Bennett Si is also a utilitarian and conservative person in his bones. He is not the kind of person who has the guts to gamble with me, playing offensive football, he certainly won’t do it.”

"so……"

"So, in this game, he will use it, and it must be the safest and most successful way of playing." Mourinho said, "They must be hitting our weakness in the middle, because our midfielder The connection is not good enough. And their Zhao Yaning is the best midfield breakthrough master in the entire Premier League.”

"So, what are we going to do? Attack him from the wing?"

"The side attack is not very effective. Hasn't it been proven last time? One cannot always step into the same river." Mourinho said, "It is definitely not possible to fight the side. Their tactics can limit us. , and our personnel are also incomplete, it will definitely not be very successful."

"Then what should we do? Fight for the midfield? We might not be able to fight." Clark said puzzled. [

"Of course we can't fight, this is an obvious thing." Mourinho said, "But if we can't win in the midfield, it doesn't mean we can't win the confrontation in the midfield."

Mourinho said, "Didier is the core figure in our game. What we need to do is to rely on his role to squeeze the opponent's frontcourt and force their defense to retreat. The breakthrough distance increases. The defensive strategy of the backcourt remains unchanged. As long as the depth of the midfield is increased and Zhao Yaning achieves a quick breakthrough, their offense will not be able to rise.”

"Like Manchester United?"

"No, better than them, don't forget, this is my first championship since I took over Chelsea, we must win it!"

-------------------------------------------

"Hi bb viewers, this is the League Cup final, I'm Lineker."

The broadcast of the British League broadcast was still very interesting in the 04-05 season.Although Sky TV broadcasts the Premier League and the Champions League, when it comes to the two domestic cup matches in the UK, BB is still broadcasting the games.

The commentators for this match were BB's commentator Lineker, as well as Coreymore and Alan Hansen.

"Which team do you prefer to win?"

Lineker asked Coreymore his own question.

"Do you really think there will be a second answer to this question?" Alan Hansen laughed, "Liverpool."

"Me too," Coreymore said.

"Chelsea is stronger and has a better lineup, and they have always been considered the most powerful contenders for the championship. In the league, they are already more than ten points ahead of Liverpool."

"But we are all Liverpool people," Alan Hansen said. "Of course we support Liverpool."

"But what about strength?"

"Chelsea has certain advantages, but it is not guaranteed to win." Coreymore said, "I am still optimistic about Liverpool."

After clarifying the fate of the two guys around him who are heavily inclined to Liverpool, Lineker also knows that he is probably the only one who upholds neutrality in this game.

"In this game, the Football Association invited FIFA President Blatter as a special guest to meet the starting players of both sides before the game, and Welsh soprano singer Catherine Jenkins sang the national anthem before the game. The lineups of both sides Not much different from what was expected before the game. Liverpool's goalkeeper is Dudek, while the back line is Riise, Carragher, Hyypia and Finnan. The midfielder is Hamann and Gerrard. , in front are Zhao Yaning, Kewell and Garcia. The center position is still the newly joined Spanish center Morientes. It is also worth mentioning that this is the No.18 final of Morientes' career. This number is the highest of the two teams, Morientes has won [-] of the last [-] finals, let's see how lucky he is this time."

This number is really scary, and the other two couldn't help but admire it.

"For Chelsea, the goalkeeper Cech, the defenders are Gallas, Carvalho, Terry, Ferreira, the midfielder Makelele, the central midfielder Jarosick, and the midfielder Lampard. Lu Duff on the left and Ludwig on the right Very rare Joe Cole in the starting lineup and Drogba in the centre-forward."

"Roben's injury is a major blow to Chelsea, but Liverpool also has the disadvantage of Alonso's absence. Chelsea used Joe Cole to start, maybe because he scored against Liverpool in the first two games, it is better against Liverpool. A threatening one. Let us wait and see whether he can make more achievements in this game."

At this time, there are still various ceremonies before the game, and Zhao Yaning is also thinking about how to score first: Chelsea’s offense is not smooth enough, and they cannot score many goals. Scoring a goal first may be able to grasp the initiative and advantage for Liverpool. [

But how to play?Chelsea are not fools, their players are very good, and they have played well against Makelele three times, and Makelele will definitely be very impressed with himself. Once he gets the ball, he will definitely not relax. Then, it will be very difficult for me to make some contributions from the very beginning.

You have to figure out how to do it yourself.

If you can't break through yourself, you have to hand it over to others.They are very familiar with the whole of Liverpool, and the only one who is not familiar is the newcomer Morientes.But they must also remember Morientes in last year's Champions League, and they will not give him a chance to shoot. If they want to make a surprise, then Morientes cannot be the end point, and the end point ...

"John!" Zhao Yaning stopped Riise in the player tunnel, "Discuss a tactic with you."

Riise stopped, and nodded slightly when he heard Zhao Yaning finished speaking.

The game started and Liverpool kicked off.Zhao Yaning rushed towards the frontcourt as soon as he got the ball.Makelele caught him immediately, but Zhao Yaning kicked the ball to the right, reaching Morientes' feet.

In front of Morientes was Gala, who was guarding him. He shook slightly twice, as if he wanted to pass, but when Gala was fooled by his extraordinary movement, he did not dare to come and press , Morientes suddenly raised his foot and made a cross, kicking the ball directly into the penalty area!

Riise rushed into the penalty area at high speed. The game had just started, and no one paid too much attention to a full-back. This gave Riise a chance. Facing the flying football, he directly volleyed with his left foot!

"gooool!!!!!! In the opening 45 seconds, Liverpool opened the scoring!!!! Riise!!!! It's his big goal again, a standard Riise-style goal! Petr Cechfa saves, Liverpool 1- 0 lead!!!!"
