Super Coach

On September 24, Liverpool was held to a 0-0 away draw by Olin Lubjana in Slovenia.

The outside world has some objections to Yang Cheng's rotation. Liverpool star Alan Hansen even doubted Yang Cheng's rotation in his column.

I don't think there should be rotation. The so-called rest and fatigue are just psychological problems. As a head coach, when you tell the players that they can rest when they are tired, they will be tired, but if you tell them , bite the bullet and win all the games, if we can do it, there is no doubt that they will be eager to beat themselves.

I think Yang Cheng should better integrate himself into Liverpool and into English football. This will allow him to better succeed in England. You know, the football here is as good as any league in the world. Football is completely different.

Faced with Alan Hansen's doubts, Yang Cheng just responded with a smile, Perhaps, when Liverpool chose the coach, they should have considered him. At least I think what he said was very good and very reasonable!

As the captain of the team, Hyypia was the first to choose to stand up and defend his head coach.

We in the locker room all agree that the coach's decision is correct. Proper rotation can keep the team strong throughout the season. Gerrard also stood up, Yes, we were tied with our opponent in an away game. But there are many objective factors in this game. For example, the turf of their stadium is too bad. We are not looking for excuses, but facts. Of course, the boss is right. There is no need to say too much. The only thing that proves our The way is to win in the next game.”

We will defeat Souness' team with a bloody victory to prove our strength! Carragher's words undoubtedly received the support of more P's.

Souness, a man who has brought pride and pain to Liverpool, is both loved and hated.

His playing days were the pride of Liverpool fans, he was so outstanding, but during the years when he coached Liverpool, the Liverpool dynasty collapsed, and many people even felt that Liverpool collapsed in the hands of Souness.

There is a popular saying in the Premier League that the rise of Manchester United's dynasty should be thanked to Souness!

No matter what, every game against Souness' team is always very exciting, and everyone in Liverpool is very involved.

This time, Yang Cheng sent out all the main players to play at Ewood Park without reservation, and cleanly took away a 3:1 victory from the away game, once again continuing Souness's unbeaten record against Liverpool.

But there is an obvious problem, as always,

Liverpool's goals were all concentrated in the first half. In the second half, the team fell into a passive position. Blackburn took the initiative and scored goals with the cooperation of the Black Wind and the Wind, but it was difficult to stop Liverpool from Ewood. The park pitch was completely gone.

This victory was cheered by Liverpool fans and made all Red Army fans excited.

After this game, Liverpool ushered in the 8th round of the Premier League, another highlight, Arsenal!

…………

…………

We remain undefeated so far this season. Although many people doubt us and think that our performance is relatively poor when encountering strong teams, so this game with Liverpool comes at the right time. What better way than to defeat a strong team? What makes a strong opponent more convincing?

The flames of war have not completely subsided in the seventh round of the league, but Arsenal's striker Henry has already begun to look forward to the upcoming eighth round of the league. This game against Liverpool has also attracted worldwide attention.

What I want to say is that anything can happen on the football field, but we are all confident that we can beat Liverpool. This is not a problem for us at all!

Faced with Henry's provocation, Liverpool's Gerrard stood up and fought back.

We need to take practical actions to let Arsenal feel what it feels like to lose!

Welcoming Arsenal after defeating Souness' team is a very good arrangement because we all hope to use Arsenal to prove one thing. We are the best team in the Premier League. Of course, The best result is that we beat Arsenal and go top of the league, which would be perfect.

Captain Hyypia also expressed his confidence in the game.

In the past many years, we have always faced the game with confidence and tried to prove our strength through the game, but unfortunately, in the past few years, we have conceded the ball again and again, letting everyone People doubt us, but this time is completely different from before!”

This time, we have Caesar, and all of us firmly believe that under the leadership of Caesar, we will prove to everyone that we are strong, and we will make everyone clearly aware of the powerful Liverpool team. came back!

Faced with Liverpool's counterattack, Arsenal captain Vieira laughed at Liverpool's past.

Football is a game of 22 people, but these naive guys think they can turn everything around with just one head coach. How ridiculous!

Anyone can say that they are the strongest team in the Premier League. I think they should all look at the league standings. From the beginning of the league to now, Arsenal has always been at the top of the league. Those who say they want to beat us Where is the team? Look down, it’s so far away, haha...

Vieira's big mouth showed a rare humor, Our football creed is to attack, attack and attack again. We will completely defeat our opponents at Highbury Stadium and let those naive brats see the cruelty of the Premier League!

Players from the two teams started a verbal war with each other. Wenger also accepted an interview, but he did not attack his opponents directly. Instead, he chose to comment on himself, In the past few years, we have been so careless that we missed mistakes. We have had many great opportunities to score points, but now, we will no longer be merciful!”

There is no doubt that he is treating Liverpool as their natural points target.

Yang Cheng's response to this was, He'd better not be soft. In that case, I can enjoy the game only if I win!

This is the first match between Yang Cheng and Wenger in the Premier League. Both of them are head coaches who insist on their own tactical concepts, and both of their coaching styles are very good-looking, which also makes football fans around the world generally Looking forward to this game.

However, in outside evaluations, Liverpool generally does not have an advantage.

The reason is very simple. Liverpool is a team that lacks control. The failure to get an outstanding organizational midfielder can be said to be Yang Cheng's biggest regret in summer transfer, which directly led to Liverpool's lack of control over the rhythm and the game. force.

But on the contrary, what Arsenal is best at is playing control, so the outside world feels that this is a battle between control and anti-control. However, Arsenal's style of play has been established for a long time, while Liverpool's performance this season has always been unstable and lacks stability. Performance.

Therefore, before the game, almost the media were generally optimistic about Arsenal.

But everyone admits one thing, that is, this kind of strong dialogue has a huge impact on the psychology of a team, especially to a certain extent, this is a battle for the top spot, the impact is even greater. , whoever wins will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the remaining schedule of the league.

October 4th, Liverpool, Anfield Stadium. When Wenger got Liverpool's starting lineup before the game, he frowned deeply.

What's wrong? Pat Rice asked concerned.

Wenger handed over the drawing with Liverpool's starting lineup written on it. Pat Rice took it and looked at it, his brows furrowed, his eyes scanned the names one by one, and he murmured in a low voice.

Dudek, Riise, Hyypia, Carragher, Finnan, Smicer, Davies, Gerrard, Robben, Kuyt, Drogba... After finishing reading, he said With a distressed look on his face, What on earth is this guy doing?

Haman was suddenly given up for no reason. You know, Liverpool's main midfielders this season are Hamann, Davis and Gerrard, but now Yang Cheng suddenly gave up Haman. What does this mean?

Smicer's skills are very good and his position is very comprehensive. How will he use it?

This guy is best at this kind of trickery! Pat Rice suppressed the worries in his heart and said with a smile.

But Wenger couldn't laugh and shook his head, He won't do those purposeless things!

Pat Reiss was speechless, because Yang Cheng had never lacked cases of changing tactics on the spot.

In my opinion, today's Liverpool is not scary. What is really scary is the Yang Cheng standing behind the team. He is the most threatening person in this team! Wenger obviously has great feelings for Yang Cheng. fear.

No wonder, in terms of strength, although Liverpool is good, its advantages and disadvantages are very obvious. How to control and use it depends on Yang Cheng, and this Chinese has just brought such a lineup to its current position, which is rare. !

At least it's much better than Chelsea's Ranieri!

Tell them to be careful after the start, take the initiative to attack, and first give me firm control of the game!

Pat Rice nodded in agreement.

When the two teams entered the Anfield Stadium, when the Liverpool fans in the stands burst into overwhelming cheers, and when the song You'll Never Walk Alone rang in the sky over the Anfield Stadium, Wenger's brows furrowed. Tighter.

He saw the formation arranged by Liverpool. 433 was still 433, but there were considerable changes in the positioning and configuration of the personnel. The most obvious ones were the three players in the midfield.

Gerrard, Davis and Smicer lined up, with the Czech still in the middle.

How on earth is he going to fight?

But just as he had this thought, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.

When Henry knocked the ball to Wiltord and when the French forward passed the ball back, the Liverpool team pressed forward like a tide. The ball reached Vieira's feet, but the French midfielder was forced to return the ball again. Knock, because he saw Drogba rushing forward aggressively.

The ball came to Campbell's feet, and the latter passed it to Ashley Cole on the left. As soon as the England left back got the ball, he was marked by Kuyt. He was unable to do anything and immediately sent the ball back. .

Drogba pressed Toure and Campbell step by step. Toure had no choice but to take a big kick.

The ball flew past the midfield. Carragher rushed forward, got stuck in his position in advance, and knocked the ball with his header to Smicer, who was retreating in the middle. The Czech took the ball and passed it to Gerrard. Then run forward by yourself.

From Gerrard to Davis and then to Riise, Liverpool's midfield passing slowed down in pursuit of accuracy.

But as soon as he reached the left wing, Riise took the ball and was knocked to the ground by Ljungberg, and the referee clearly blew the whistle for a foul.

Free kick for Liverpool!

Riise got up from the ground and quickly sent the ball directly to the feet of Robben in front.

The Dutch Peter Pan performed very well in the first few rounds of the Premier League. He faced Lauren directly and skillfully dribbled the ball. After approaching Lauren, he suddenly made a fake move as if he was going to break through from the left wing and beat Lauren The center of gravity was tilted to the left, but the ball suddenly turned to the right.

After passing Lauren directly from the left, Robben took the ball and cut inside.

Drogba also immediately came over from the center and blocked Campbell behind him, but the England center back was obviously not willing to accept it and kept pushing from behind.

Robben passed the ball to Drogba. The Ivorian was pushed by Campbell behind him. He lost his balance and stumbled with the ball. However, he still turned around and barely kicked his foot to hit the goal. The ball was so crooked that he didn't even know where to go. Where is it?

Haha... Campbell laughed when he saw the shot was so deflected.

I saw this guy turn around, face the baseline, put his right hand to his mouth, Hey, is there anyone in there?

Then he replied in a pretentious manner, Who is it?

Me, Drogba!

Oh, damn idiot, if you want to shoot, please move 20 meters to the side, okay?

Campbell's joke immediately made every Arsenal player present burst into laughter.

Indeed, Drogba's shot was indeed too wide and a bit outrageous. He obviously lost his balance at the time and should have passed the ball instead of hitting the goal himself.

Drogba glared angrily at the guy who made up a joke to ridicule him, gritting his teeth. He wanted to rush up and punch the bastard to the ground.

Calm down, Didier, he is deliberately irritating you! Smicer ran over.

Davis rushed forward and pointed at Campbell, Sooner or later, I'm going to pull out all the eggs. Be careful!

Campbell didn't take it seriously at all, and nodded with a smile, I'll be with you anytime!

The referee was worried about the conflict between the two parties and immediately came to disperse them and signaled that the game was about to continue.

There was a conflict with Campbell and Drogba's mood was affected.

The next few confrontations with Husky were at a disadvantage.

However, Liverpool resolutely implemented Yang Cheng's tactics, attacking hard from the beginning of the game, and the overall defense line pressed forward. With the help of Gerrard, Kuyt and Finnan on the right teamed up to freeze Henry and Pires. And Ashley Cole's left, and then use his own left attack to suppress Arsenal's right.

Obviously, Arsenal hopes to incorporate the game into the rhythm they are good at as before, but Liverpool insists on their fast whirlwind tactics, attacking quickly from the beginning of the game, using the opening strong attack to comprehensively Suppress Arsenal and speed up the tempo of the game.

Andy Gray commented on the tactical ideas of both sides at the beginning of the game.

Arsenal's problem is that the defense is slow, especially Campbell. Toure's performance is not stable enough, he is reckless, and he often makes mistakes. This makes the pace quicken, especially when Arsenal's defense faces fast players. Liverpool's offense seemed very passive.

Oh, look at this time, Liverpool counterattacked on the left after stealing the ball again. After Robben quickly intervened, the Dutch youngster was very fast. He drove past Lauren and Toure came over. Robben suddenly hit the ball and passed it to Drogba who came in the middle.

The Ivorian took the ball and kicked it off directly... Oops, it was too hasty. He should have stopped for a moment and pushed the ball behind him. Rob could have used his speed to get rid of Toure, and it would have been a one-man attack!

Andy Gray felt sorry for this, it should have been a very good scoring opportunity.

When Drogba saw Robben rushing to the bottom line, he felt guilty and raised his hands apologetically.

Robben shook his head, smiled slightly, and said nothing.

Yang Cheng's tactics seem very simple. They use Robben's ability to attack on the left, plus Riise behind him, to jointly suppress Arsenal's right. It has indeed achieved good results. Arsenal are 10 in front. For several minutes, no effective offense was organized.

But the problem is that this tactic lacks endurance. Once Arsenal can survive it, Liverpool will be in danger!

Of course, Yang Cheng on the sidelines is also very aware of his team's current problems. He knows it better than anyone else, but he has no choice but to do this. The reason is very simple: Liverpool cannot slow down.

Without a metronome, Liverpool is like a wild horse that is out of control. Unless it is exhausted, it will be difficult to stop, because once it slows down, this team will no longer be able to rush forward.

This is why, in the first half of Liverpool's games this season, the first half is often very exciting, very beautiful, and there are many goals, but in the second half, Liverpool seems to be a different team, because in the second half They have no physical strength anymore, so they can only choose to defend passively.

Drogba is angry! Benitez was observing the team calmly.

Yang Cheng nodded, walked to the sidelines, and waved at Drogba to signal him to calm down.

Seeing the solemn warning on the coach's face, Drogba didn't dare to play like he just did.

Drogba was in awe of the world-famous coach who brought him to the Premier League, and he did learn a lot under Yang Cheng's coaching, so he immediately calmed down when Yang Cheng reminded him.

Once he calmed down, Drogba's mind immediately thought of the task assigned to him by Yang Cheng.

Pull, support, your duty is to pull Arsenal's central defender as much as possible for me. Campbell and Keown are both young and not fast enough. Toure is reckless and makes constant mistakes. As long as you pull them out, let Ronaldo If Ben or other teammates hit them behind them, then we can score!

I want Arsenal to not get out of Anfield! @.
