ball at foot

After finding Benitez, the dialogue between the two was also very direct.

"From next season, you will still be the core of the team's tactics." When Benitez said this question, his face was a little embarrassed, "I know I want to sell you, so you may not be very comfortable with my arrangement. believe……"

"I believe it." Zhao Yaning didn't ask him to speak any more, but let him continue.

There is no need to say more.That's the way he is.Abeloa is still a player he brought out when he was a youth training coach, and doesn't he care about his calling?In the whole team, only Alonso has some contact with him in private, and the others have no contact with him after leaving the team. His temper is not a person who gets along with the players.

He claims to be a professional coach, which Zhao Yaning really believes.This guy is not emotional at all. [

"Actually, I've been thinking about how we should play in the future." Benitez knew what Zhao Yaning wanted to hear, so he naturally said something to him. Although it was at the banquet, he didn't think there was anything wrong Inappropriate, "You and Figo are on one side. I think that under normal circumstances, it is better for you to be on the left and Figo to be on the right. Maicon is a very comprehensive defender. He is fast and has great strength. High impact and sense of coordination can make up for Figo's lack of speed. At the same time, Figo's position can also be slightly delayed, forming a good attack combination with Alonso and Maicon. And you are a right-footed player , Playing on the left side, you can cut inside more, enter the center more and attack more, your position is higher, you can form a good combination of frontcourt attack with Gerrard and Morrow. Control the rhythm You can leave it to them, and the final attack will be launched by you."

This arrangement is the way Benitez hopes to play.Young people like to show off, so it is better to let Zhao Yaning go closer to the penalty area.After all, Figo is old, and his speed is not suitable for the Premier League. It is better to be a little behind.

A 4231, but it doesn't have to be symmetrical.It is a better idea to attack on the left side.This is also in line with the characteristics of modern football. After all, it is a trend for right-footed players to cut inside, and they must also kick when attacking from the left.

In the frontcourt, how to control himself and find a balance between helping his teammates and coming by himself is Zhao Yaning's business.

"Our midfield trio needs to do different things. Gerrard's speed, impact and technique are all top-notch. He can make a lot of back and forth attacks and support both offense and defense anytime and anywhere. Although he His consciousness is not enough to be a handsome talent, but as a general, he is perfect. And Sissoko has a strong ability to destroy. He runs in the backcourt all the time and can easily smash the enemy's attack plan ...And Alonso's task is to run laterally, on the one hand, prepare to launch a long pass counterattack at any time, on the other hand, maintain a forward and backward position with the full-back, and help the full-back to get in."

Liverpool's midfield trio can be said to be one of the most perfect trios in the Premier League.Although all three of them have flaws, when they stand together, they can only approach perfection.

Gerrard has been hailed as the next Keane since his debut, but it turns out that he does not have Keane's organizational and execution skills. Although he runs a lot and covers a large area, the problem of golf quotient makes him Unable to play Keane's role at Manchester United.

And Benitez's arrangement for him is to let him play as a midfielder-this is closer to Keane's position at Nottingham Forest. After he has no defensive tasks, he can rely on his active running and continue to play. Before and after rushing to the aid, it had the greatest effect.

And Sissoko's more terrifying coverage makes him the best backcourt interceptor.Although his skills are rough, he is enough to satisfy Liverpool in terms of defense.After all, Alonso is the most suitable person to command and dispatch and launch a counterattack.However, Alonso's coverage area is small, and he can get rid of the disadvantages that are not good enough when playing football, which is covered by his two teammates with a wide range of activities and strong support ability.

A perfect trio, and Benitez is obviously not satisfied with three people.He was also putting forward new suggestions to Zhao Yaning, which also made Zhao Yaning nod again and again.

"Actually, you can also consider how to use more flexible running positions to replace your own ball-handling breakthrough." Betts drew on the table casually, "The shortest distance from the center line to the penalty area is less than 30 meters. The longest distance is more than 40 meters. Your habit is to retreat to the midfield to catch the ball. Relying on your breakthrough ability, you can do all the forward and cutting things yourself. But it is not necessary. Run 30 with the ball Mi, the fastest time is more than three seconds. After such a long time, the opponent's defense must be well arranged, and the difficulty of your attack will naturally increase. This kind of football is not suitable for you. The position that really belongs to you is 25 meters from the goal. To the range of ten meters. In this position, running, catching the ball, and making timely choices are what you should do more."

Zhao Yaning has the ability to run 40 meters and hit a counterattack after he has the ball.But this kind of ability is not the ability that Benitez admires very much.

No one likes their team to play on the counter-attack.After all, football matches are about the fans. What the fans want to watch is not the final score of the game, but the performance on the pitch.

Gerrard rushed to the aid, Sissoko defended, Alonso launched the attack, Figo was responsible for the goal, Morientes shot and scored, and there was only one thing Zhao Yaning needed to do: at the front of the penalty area in the frontcourt, in the front of the penalty area. Surround, get the ball, hold the ball, play the ball, create chances.

And when facing underdogs, the coverage of the midfield can allow Zhao Yaning to play

very easily.When facing a strong enemy, Zhao Yaning can also adjust at any time-in terms of defense, he is not very good, but he lacks none of the offensive coverage, offensive ability, and scheduling ability.Relying on Zhao Yaning, Liverpool can easily switch between the two modes of playing underdogs and playing against strong teams, so that the physical strength can be properly distributed, so as to win the next season.Among these, Zhao Yaning played well.It is the most important link for Liverpool to reach another level.

It's just that how much you can comprehend, you have to observe through the game——

Liverpool's subsequent friendly match was against Leverkusen.

This team that had met in the Champions League was defeated by Liverpool.The players of Leverkusen have now let go of their failure.And losing to the European champion team, this kind of thing makes them feel that they are not wronged. [

And Liverpool didn't have much thought about this arrangement.Leverkusen were no longer their opponents last year.And this summer, they only got sixth in the league, and the European war is also out of the question.Playing against them, in fact, is also for Liverpool to find confidence in themselves.

In this game, Zhao Yaning also began to follow Benitez's instructions, and began to deliberately try to reduce possession of the ball, travel on the wing, kept supporting the center, and at the same time took the ball and broke through from time to time.

This way of playing has made Liverpool's strength suddenly stronger.

Normally, when Zhao Yaning gets the ball, there must be two or three people watching him.No one thinks this shouldn't be the case. For breakthrough masters, this should be the treatment.

But now, he is making more ball moves, which has become a problem.Should he be marked?Should he be constantly monitored?Such a thing is difficult to make a decision.

One of the advantages of players with the ball is to guide the opponent's defensive players to a position they are not good at, so as to achieve a breakthrough. This is indeed a good way to maximize the effect.

In the old Liverpool, that would not work.When Riise was in the frontcourt, it was a trivial matter that he couldn't pass people. The bigger problem was that he had the problem of shooting long shots without thinking.Shooting long shots at every turn, without considering coordination, this is also his biggest shortcoming.

However, Garcia, Baros and others are limited by their skills, and they can't take the ball calmly in the frontcourt, get rid of it, and pass the ball.In the previous Liverpool, only Zhao Yaning could take on the tasks of breaking through with the ball, attacking and passing the ball.

But now Liverpool, Gerrard, Milito, and Figo can all hold the ball in the frontcourt and pass it out, Zhao Yaning's pressure is greatly reduced.He can rely on the ball to run and tear the opponent's defense. He saves a lot of energy, and after getting the ball, he relies more on the first pass, passing, and shooting to end the game.

What he needs to gradually work out now is how to control himself and adjust the switching and adjustment of the ball and the ball, and how to ensure the greatest possible energy saving so that he has enough energy to participate in the attack and counter-robbery.

This is also his biggest task.

In this game, Liverpool also won cleanly.In the first half, Figo scored first. In the second half, Milito came off the bench and scored another goal. Before the end, Alonso's long-range shot scored again and Liverpool won. A 30 win.

In this game, Zhao Yaning, who began to pay attention to adjusting his playing style, did not perform very well.But his changes made Benitez quite satisfied.

"Liverpool's tactical reform, we have to take it step by step." When talking to Yesterdam in private, Benitez has a lot less scruples, "England football is far behind the world. If you want to make him stronger again, you have to carry out technical reforms."

"This is indeed a very remarkable attempt, but it seems that you are not the only one making this attempt?"

"Yes, Liverpool have been trying since they hired Houllier to coach, and Manchester United's Ferguson also made this attempt by letting Queiroz as an assistant coach. And Chelsea, since the late 90s, they have introduced various continental stars. , is more similar to a continental team. In a sense, they are the furthest. But if the combination is the best, it is Arsenal. Wenger's Arsenal offense built with England style 442 The system is the best combination of the two.”

"But you still don't think it's good enough."

"Yes." Benitez nodded, "Houllier has already failed, so let's not mention it for now. His problem is that he accommodated Owen too much. And Manchester's Ferguson is not considered a success. Veron's The problem is the proof. But he doesn't seem to give up yet. From the point of view of stubbornness, this old man is terrible. Chelsea has gone the furthest. They are already very close to the Continental team during Ranieri's time, but, as it turns out, The continentalization is too great to survive in the Premier League. Although Wenger did the best, but Arsenal's performance in the European war is the worst, there is a reason for this."

Benitez thought for a moment before speaking, "It's like a bullfight. English football is a strong bull, while Spanish football is a matador. What Wenger and Ferguson did was to give wisdom to the bull. And me and What Mourinho did was to give strength to the matadors. Which one of us did the right thing, we will see the result from the next season's games. Let's see if it is us matadors or those angry bulls who win .”
