ball at foot

"Diego, you are our starting striker."

Milito nodded, this is not beyond his expectation, he will naturally be the starter, this is needless to consider.

"Joy, Stephen, and Louis, the three of you are our starting midfielders."

Zhao Yaning and Gerrard are not unexpected. They are the absolute main force of Liverpool, but Figo also won the main position, which is a bit surprising.

This season, his chances of starting have been much less. [

"Milan is a team that attaches great importance to defense... This is especially true this season. It can even be said that they play a bit like the Chelsea we just encountered, but Milan's defensive system should be more proactive. And their offensive system is even better. Pirlo is a master of long balls, Kaka has an excellent ability to attack, and Inzaghi is a master of grabbing points. The success rate of the counterattack will only be higher than that of Chelsea."

That's why Figo started, right?Milan's defense is very tight, and the skills of the players in the backcourt are also better. If it is deployed with Dirk, it will be difficult to play the role of counter-robbing, but if it is Figo, his attack power will help Liverpool even more. bigger.

Moreover, Figo lost his main position, firstly due to injuries, and secondly due to physical problems.But now, now that he has had a long rest, Figo's physical strength has also recovered very well. With sufficient physical strength, his role is still not comparable to that of Garcia and Dirk.

"Above midfield, Mascherano and Alonso."

Sissoko still didn't get a chance to play after all... Zhao Yaning glanced at the big black man behind him, feeling a little sad for him.But it's no wonder that the opponent is Kaka, the Brazilian who is very good at breakthroughs.To defend him, relying on blood and bravery is always not enough.If Kaka is the most European-style South American offensive player, then Mascherano can also be said to be an extremely European-style South American defensive player.After all, it is not as reassuring to hand over things like defending Kaka to Mascherano.

"In the backcourt, there are still Riise, Carragher, Vidic and Maicon. The goalkeeper is still Reina, these things remain unchanged."

This decision is quite surprising: Riise is not in a good state this season, and Abeloa seems to be more suitable.

However, if you think about it, you can think of the reason: Riise's defensive ability is worse, but his offensive ability is better, and Milan's two wings are no longer what they used to be. In the past, Cafu and Mal Once Tini stands, it is difficult for anyone to break through, but now, although Odo and Jankulovski can be considered good defenders, they seem to be much worse.They have all dropped a lot now, and Liverpool's two wingers have strong offensive capabilities, that is to say, Liverpool wants to use the two winger double-fly tactics to deal with Milan.

"So, we are going to use a comprehensive offensive play to suppress the opponent?" Zhao Yaning asked his own question.He is quite excited about this arrangement: Milan has been the overlord for these years after all, if they can suppress them and win the game, then Liverpool can be regarded as really overturning another myth.

This season has ended the Galaxy Battleship and the Dream Team II. Now, is it Milan's turn?If they win this game again, it will really sink all the strong teams.

"Yes, we will choose to use a suppressive attack to face Milan. But don't be too easy. Our players are younger and have better running ability. It is not difficult to take advantage of the scene, but Milan is still a strong enemy, and it is still very difficult to break through their defense."

"It's okay, we have Joey, relying on Joey, we don't have to worry about scoring goals, right, guys?" Reina laughed.

"You still worry about your own goals, don't let Kaka score again."

"Don't worry, there's no problem. As long as Javier can seal his breakthrough, I can seal his shot."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Mascherano complained, "How can a midfielder shoot if he can't break through?"

"Who knows, ask Joey, he should know, right? Milan must also have Gattuso and Ambrosini's defense. Facing the defense of two people, Joey, how are you going to break through? "

"I don't know." Zhao Yaning shook his head, "How could it be possible to think of a solution now? They are not weak chickens and dogs. The result of the game will only be known after the competition. However, I think we still have Great chance of winning, right? Milan has a lot of problems, and we have Diego, Steph, and Luis..."

"And yourself is the most important one."

"Yes, and me." Zhao Yaning nodded, "Pepe, don't worry, we will definitely have no problems with the attack. If you can satisfy me with your defense, I can satisfy you with my offense." [

"That's not easy. To be honest, I'm much pickier than you."

"Then just watch." Zhao Yaning smiled and said, "No matter how picky you are, I will let you have something to say."——

"Joey, it's almost there!"

By the time Gerrard reappeared on the training ground, it was already late.He had changed into a suit of clothes and was about to leave.

But when Alonso made a suggestion, he still couldn't help but detoured back to the court. Sure enough, as Alonso expected, Zhao Yaning was still training here.

"Joy, it's almost time. It's late, I can train with you for an extra hour, but I can't spend the whole time with you on the training ground." Gerrard greeted him, "It's almost over Let's train."

"That's right, Joey, it's almost enough. The final is coming soon, there's no need to do extra training, it won't be worth it if you get injured." Alonso also said.

"I just want to practice free kicks for a while after you are all gone. When you are all here, it is too messy to be quiet." Zhao Yaning patted Gerrard and replied, "Go back first, I will I played alone for a while and then left. It’s not a lot of strength training, how could I get injured? Don’t worry.”

Gerrard stood there, watching Zhao Yaning took a free kick on his own, and after a while, he shook his head, turned and left.

As the captain, he is very happy to accompany his teammates for a while when they want to practice more.However, after training to Zhao Yaning's level, even he can't afford to accompany him.

However, this is also the reason why he is outstanding.Gerrard sighed at this. He always felt that he had worked hard enough, but sometimes, comparing himself with Zhao Yaning really made him feel frustrated.Sometimes, compared with others, he really feels that he is much worse.

"Stephen," Alonso suddenly stopped beside him, and at the same time grabbed him, "Rafa, why are you here? Haven't you gone home to rest?"

"I have some work to do. I have to win the game the day after tomorrow anyway, so there is no harm in preparing more." In front of them was the team coach Benitez. He nodded and gestured to the two of them. , "Go back later."

Gerrard looked at Benitez, smiled wryly and shook his head, "Is there something wrong with you?"

"I hope you can help me ask Joey if he is satisfied with the tactics I temporarily arranged." Benitez said, "In the new tactics, he needs to do a lot of work and the tasks are heavy, so, I'm worried he'll be upset..."

"Rafa, why don't you just ask yourself? Besides, this tactical arrangement is for victory, right?" Alonso asked.

Benitez didn't say a word, Gerrard looked at his expression, his brows were wrinkled like the creases on the bun, "Rafa, you don't have to be so careful. We are players, but players are not so careful. Vulnerable and sensitive. Didn’t Joey save up his dissatisfaction with you for nearly a year before getting angry? And, since then, hasn’t he always respected you enough? What are you afraid of?”

"I'm not afraid, it's just... I think he might not like me."

I don't like you either, do you think who in the team likes you? Gerrard said something in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't say that himself, "Nothing, although Joey usually talks to you It was a bit embarrassing, but he definitely didn't hold any grudges. Anyway, he is willing to admit that you are a very good coach, aren't you? He still respects you very much, but...well, anyway, the two of you It should be a good conversation."

"There is a chance." Benitez nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back and do what you asked. But I guess there shouldn't be any problems. He didn't say anything dissatisfied with the tactical change. Besides, your tactical change is not very good I know Joey, he is a person, he will be unhappy if he is underestimated, and he will not be unhappy if he is given a task. And it is also a good thing to make some changes for the sake of victory."

Benitez still just nodded, and Gerrard also smiled, "Okay, I'll go first if it's okay...Head, you know, if you win the next game, you will be the Triple Crown winner Coach. But you don't look like a Triple Crown coach at all." [

"I'm just me, I don't think I'm any different from before," Benitez replied.

"Is there really no change?" Alonso asked rhetorically.

No, there are some changes.Benitez still wavered a bit.

He still remembers what happened when Zhao Yaning got angry with him a year ago.He always thought that the team should be decided by the coach, and that obedience is a virtue of players, but at that time, he thought that Zhao Yaning was right. A player who never got angry got angry, which naturally attracted great attention. .What Zhao Yaning said at the time was a shake and shock to the way he has always believed in getting along with players and coaches, and since then, he has also thought a lot.

"Maybe, there are changes." Benitez still spoke, "Joy gave me a lot of different thinking."

"It's the same for me. It's impossible for us not to make progress at all." Gerrard looked at the field. The chatting time of several people was not short, and Zhao Yaning was also packing up his things and preparing to go home. "I have to go, Lian Qiao. Yidu has stopped training, it's really getting late."

"Go to bed early, don't drink, don't stay up late, it's not good for your career." Benitez warned.

Alonso nodded and smiled, while Gerrard shrugged and said nothing. They walked out of the training base gate together.

Naturally, they would never forget these things. After all, they were about to usher in the peak of their careers. How could he make a mistake at this time?
