ball at foot

"That little Monaco brother of yours played really well."

Back in the locker room, Nedved spoke to Trezeguet beside him.

Trezeguet smiled proudly, but said nothing.

Trezeguet, Zhao Yaning, and Thuram are all from the same club. Although this is not a particularly close relationship, in football, being able to compete with the club from which he was born when he was young in a competition like the Champions League There are indeed not many opportunities for younger generations to meet each other.

"After the game, I'll change the jersey with him." Thuram opened his mouth, and he looked at Trezeguet, "If you can't play." [

Trezeguet looked at Thuram, but did not speak.

If he plays, Piero will definitely be replaced. This is almost a certainty, and such a thing makes him not know what to say.

Since this season, Del Piero has already lost his main position. If Trezeguet hadn't just recovered from his injury, he is unlikely to get the chance to start this game.After all, Del Piero is the captain of the team, and Trezeguet has a good relationship with him. At this time, when it comes to replacing him, Trezeguet doesn't know what to say.

"In the second half, I will try to kick again. If it doesn't work, you can do it." At this time, Piero had just entered the locker room. He heard Thuram's words, and he also smiled and said to Trezeguet. One sentence.

"What are you doing?" Nedved asked.

"It's nothing, it's a little thing, say a few words with the opponent's players...it has nothing to do with the game." Piero turned the subject back, as if he didn't want to talk about what he just did, "In the second half of the game, we have to score a goal. It’s a big deal, no matter who it is, it’s got to be one.”

He knew that if he couldn't start the situation in the second half, it was inevitable that he would be replaced.

Capello doesn't like him: Capello himself doesn't hide this.Born in Italy, a disciple of Sacchi, champion first - these things determine that Capello can't like a traditional Italian shadow forward.It is said that Del Piero's level has declined after his serious injury, and now he is not at the original level. Even if his level is still the same, Capello cannot like him.Did Montella play poorly in Rome?It's not that Capello put him on the bench and didn't use it.This short striker has never been Capello's favorite.

And in terms of tactical style, he is out of tune with himself.What kind of consciousness, tricks, intelligence, and aura are all unnecessary in the hands of a coach like Capello.Anti-grabbing in the frontcourt, full-court pressing, big running, muscle confrontation-these things are what they emphasize.

I can't do his tactical arrangement by myself.

"Let's listen to the coach's arrangement." Trezeguet didn't refute him, but he didn't agree either, he just said something dull.

Piero nodded.He also knew in his heart that there was nothing wrong with what Capello did.The whole world is using the counter-attacking and pressing game in the frontcourt. After Sacchi developed this tactic, the whole world thinks it should be advocated. Only Italy has changed Italian football for a hundred years. Dissatisfied with the traditional way of playing.He is often used by those people as an argument, saying that Yingfeng is a representative of Italy and should not be treated like this. However, Piero himself does not want to say anything.

Victory is the most important thing, Juventus, after all, must pay attention to results.As the captain, I cannot take the lead in blaming the coach.

"In the second half, we changed our style of play."

Capello, who walked into the locker room, has already begun to direct, "We will transfer the core to Zlatan Ibrahimovic."

Ibrahimovic raised his head, somewhat surprised.

The core figure of Juventus is Nedved, which is the consensus of everyone.Many of the running positions in the first half were for him, but according to the coach, it was not the case in the second half.

"In the first half, you were too tightly marked by the opponent. With this intensity, you are unlikely to help the team open the situation. Therefore, in this game, you are not enough to be the core, you are not the core."

Capello turned his head and said directly to Nedved, "Recover from your injuries and then find your status, it will be good for you."[

Nedved nodded, he had no opinion on this.He was absent from the game for two months, and then he was defended by Gerrard very badly when he played. Now that the team is behind, he will definitely not be entrusted with important tasks by the head coach.

"Zlatan, what you do in the frontcourt is to be a fulcrum. I can give you freedom, but you have to play smarter yourself. It depends on your performance to score goals, don't make mistakes."

Ibrahimovic nodded, he is very proud of this kind of attention.

"Blassi replaced, you were sieved by that Chinese in the first half, let me reflect on it." Capello made a second decision, "Perotta came on, your task is not heavy, defend The Chinese will be successful."

"Besides, Tudor replaced Zebina. Strengthen the header defense." Capello continued to speak, "Also, pay attention to marking the Chinese. Don't worry about fouls, bold fouls. As for defending free kicks When the time comes, Gigi can finish."

This substitution is not unexpected.Blasi made a lot of mistakes in the first half of the game and will definitely be replaced.And Zebina is also an area where the opponent focuses on suppressing. It is more appropriate to replace him. What's more, there is also the problem of header defense in the backcourt. A credible high point.

"In the second half of the game, my requirement is to score one goal." Capello said, "Scoring one goal is enough! What you are facing is the third team in England, and their main goalkeeper is injured. It's a little guy, two of their main midfielders have been injured, and now the main midfielder is their fifth midfielder! And what I ask of you is not even to let you win, but to let you It’s just one. If you can’t even do this, then there’s no need to think about the Champions League, you guys don’t deserve it.”

In this case, the players raised their heads.They would not accept such an insult.

"This is Anfield, yes. This is their territory. Everyone has to respect them when they come here. But you are Juventus, and you are no worse than them. Wherever you go, others have to respect you. Shankly Yes, he is a good coach, but my name is also Capello, as a coach, I will not lose to him, and as players, you will not lose to them either." Looking around the players, Capello He opened his mouth, "You guys, don't disappoint me too much."

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

"In the second half of the game we will do half-court defense."

"Is this another term for shrinking?" Garcia complained, but he still listened to Benitez's words, "Their style of play is very resilient, and they are a championship-level team after all. I thought that two successful sneak attacks would mess them up, they are not Leverkusen after all."

"In the second half, they will definitely strengthen the midfield, and then rely on the strength of the frontcourt to carry out further crushing attacks." Benitez said, "Don't think that the advantage is in our hands, this is our home field, If they score, then they have an away goal. If that's the case, we'll be in danger when we get away."

"Obviously we are leading by two goals, why does the coach say that we are behind?" Biscayne scratched his head, "Isn't it just a good defense, we can do it."

"We don't try to attack in the second half of the game. Of course, if the opportunity is particularly good, we can try it." Benitez said, "But the main work is still done in our own half. Capello is a good player. The coach is even more of a defensive coach. It is impossible for him to ignore the weaknesses of his team. I estimate that they will replace Zebina at the beginning of the second half of the game to enhance the header advantage in the backcourt and the defense on the right. At the same time, Blasi will be replaced because their midfield defense needs to use fouls to make up for the lack of physical strength. Blasi has a yellow card, and replacing him will be more beneficial to their defense."

After Benitez made his own judgment, he was also estimating Juventus' attack style.

"I estimate that in the second half of the game, the focus of their attack will shift from Nedved to Zlatan Ibrahimovic." Benitez said, "After all, Nedved's injury has not healed. His recovery is not good, otherwise he would not be stared at by Stephen. And his style is a typical character who relies on hard work to make up for his shortcomings. The style of English football is relatively restrained, not to mention our home game , the pressure on him is also great, and the defense against him in the second half can be slightly relaxed."

"But Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a person who is likely to become a key figure on their front line. His attack characteristics, you must have seen, poor shooting skills, poor explosive power, average breakthrough ability, but His ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt, strength, flexibility, and skills are top-notch, and what’s more, he has an excellent ball quotient. He can play a great fulcrum and containment role in the frontcourt, and he can A person supports the frontcourt attack, as long as this person is regarded as the core, he is very threatening."

"The defense against him is also a very simple way of thinking. Stay close, don't give him any space or opportunities to kick. Jimmy, hang him. Don't worry about fouls. He is not a person who can flop. Some players, in their bones With a sense of arrogance, their arrogance will not allow them to use flopping to deal with the defense." Having said this, Benitez glanced at Zhao Yaning, "This person is very arrogant. He's not going to flop."

If Ibrahimovic is seen to death, then Juventus' attack system will be completely paralyzed.Although Nedved is known as an iron man, his two-month absence from the game still has an impact after all. His outstanding performance is also a big problem.As long as Ibrahimovic can be watched, then Liverpool will definitely win this game.

But Benitez also knows that the strongest part of Juventus is not their outstanding changes, but their strength.Capello doesn't have many changes, but they are all very difficult to deal with. After all, their strength is too strong, even if they can predict their changes, it is still difficult to deal with.

"It's a battle of wills, but as long as we let them down, we will win. At most, they should replace Trezeguet in the final stage to try to grab some chaos and attack us by speeding up the tempo defense. But at that time, we are almost winning.” [

After arranging these, Benitez is also full of confidence.

"So, what about Del Piero?" Zhao Yaning still couldn't help asking, "How to defend against Piero?"

"From a tactical point of view, he is not a suitable candidate for Capello's tactics. I don't think he needs to be targeted too much. Although he was very strong before, he has declined a lot now. To deal with him, Don't get too involved."

Is that really the case?Zhao Yaning was a little suspicious.He always had a strange thought: Maybe Piero would really do something.
