Super Coach

501 sentenced to death

Someone once said that the trajectory of life is like an n-shaped curve, from birth, growth, to the peak of 30 years old, then begins to decline, and finally dies, and birth and death are on the same level.

If analyzed from a psychological perspective, the first turning point of the n-shaped curve is in the three to five years between the ages of 18 and 20, because this age group is the stage when a person establishes his motivation for survival. After this age, it is difficult to change it.

That is what is usually said to be the goal that people strive for throughout their lives!

In the field of football, the age of 30 is also a turning point. Generally, after the age of 30, it almost means that the player has begun to decline, so when many teams recruit, they focus on the 24- In this age group of 28, because players in this age group have goals to pursue, have strength and motivation, and their psychological quality is relatively stable.

There is a popular saying in the circle of head coaches that it is impossible to conquer the world with a group of brats!

Why are so many professionals not optimistic about Liverpool in this Champions League?

Is it because the strength of this team is not good enough and the gap with Juventus is too big?

Obviously not. Even the newly promoted teams in Serie A can compete with Juventus. As the Premier League champion last season and the team coached by Yang Cheng, how could Liverpool not do it?

The key lies in experience and mentality!

Let’s compare with the two simplest examples, 23-year-old Essien and 32-year-old Davis.

From a technical point of view, the two can be said to be almost the same, they just have their own strengths, but why can't Essien show the kind of strength that Davis has?

This is because he is not as good as Davis in terms of experience and stability. If Davis's experience and stability allow him to perform 100% of his strength, then Essien can only perform 80%. %, maybe even lower, which is why young players cannot conquer the world.

Another point is that the veterans are rich in experience. When encountering emergencies, they know how to deal with them and how to stabilize the situation. Because they have experienced countless such mutations and have rich experience in handling them, they know what to do. most.

But not the young generals, they will cause chaos!

It was like the beginning of this final, when they suddenly realized that as soon as they kicked the ball out,

Juventus rushed over like crazy, every player's expression was so fierce, every player's movements looked so fierce, as if they couldn't keep the ball, they had to cut their legs. Leave the same.

Young players will panic. If they panic, they will easily make mistakes. Once they make a mistake, it will be fatal!

Juventus' right wing is the Bianconeri's best side this season. Camoranesi played the best season of his career. It was he who made Juventus lack creativity in the entire midfield. Si became sharper.

According to Capello's pre-match arrangement, the right wing is more of a feint, which is to attract defensive pressure.

Therefore, in Juventus's counterattack after the frontcourt press in the last round of the game, Camoranesi was very active on the right, and Riise focused on defending him, but he did not make any big mistakes. .

Liverpool also performed very steadily when facing Juventus's first few counterattacks.

This is the main tone of Yang Cheng's opening. He should be stable first, and then slowly pick up the rhythm. Fast break is Liverpool's best offensive method, and blitz is Liverpool's specialty, but these two weapons must be used. At the best of times.

But just when everyone thought that Liverpool had stabilized the start, Camoranesi made a long horizontal pass from the right side.

After Cassano came up from the left and stopped the ball with his chest, Finnan immediately pounced on it.

Del Piero, who had always been roaming on the left side, immediately pulled outside the penalty area and raised his left hand high.

Pierro zone! Yang Cheng's first reaction was a little surprised, and he immediately shouted to the players on the court, Watch Del Piero!

Carragher had also been paying attention to Piero, and Yang Cheng didn't even need to shout, he just followed him.

The ball came from Cassano's feet to Del Piero's feet. He saw the zebra prince retreating to get the ball, quickly leaning on Carragher with his back, skillfully circling the ball with his right foot, and suddenly making a move to smash the ball over. People, speed up and lead to the middle.

The whole process was actually not fast, but his control of the ball was so good that Carragher was unable to keep up. He was directly shaken half of his body. Under normal circumstances, as long as Del Piero stopped again, Carragher would You can catch up.

But after Piero shook his position, he volleyed directly with his right foot.

The ball obviously drew a beautiful arc, but at this moment, in the eyes of all Liverpool people, this arc came so suddenly and was so fatal.

Reina tried his best to make a save, but the ball still almost missed the angle between the crossbar and the post and went into the upper right corner of the goal.

At this moment, the entire Ataturk Stadium suddenly became silent.

The Zebra fans, who were small in number and were suppressed by Liverpool fans after the start, burst into enthusiastic cheers.

The on-site commentator also made a long sound, allllllllllllllll!

Piero area, Del Piero once again scored a world-class goal in this area, opening the scoring for Juventus! The on-site commentator looked extremely excited, It was only 3 minutes after the opening. Minutes and 27 seconds later, Juventus took the lead and scored a goal, a world wave from Del Piero!

Reina got up from the ground and raised his hands. He had tried his best, but Del Piero's shot was too tricky. He was standing to the left, making it impossible for him to save it. A curved shot towards the upper right corner.

This may be a shot that changes the situation of the game. Liverpool did a good job after the opening, but it is obvious that they were caught off guard when faced with Juventus's sudden change in attack, so that the defensive focus shifted too much to the left, which exposed There was a gap in the defense on the right, and it was Cassano who set up Del Piero for this great goal.”

…………

…………

Yang Cheng covered his mouth with his left hand. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but curse.

In the locker room before the game, he put forward requirements for the game, warning the players to concentrate 100%, not to make mistakes, and to play at their own pace. At the same time, he repeatedly reminded two points. First, the penalty area. Long shot from outside; second, set kick!

He has long reminded the players that Del Piero is a very threatening player who can shoot accurately with both left and right feet. His performance at Juventus this season is also very good, especially when Trezeguet shares it with him. Under defensive pressure, Capello is likely to use him to create offensive tactics.

But as soon as his players got on the court, all his instructions were thrown out of the window.

Yes, Juventus's opening attack was indeed sudden, but Yang Cheng also mentioned this before when he was setting up. He asked the players to not be chaotic, stabilize the situation, and then slowly increase the rhythm. get back.

In such a crucial competition, conceding the ball first is an extremely dangerous thing.

They were too nervous and too eager to score first! Benitez shook his head and sighed.

It should be said that Juventus's attack was an accident, but the players' mentality was the reason for conceding the ball.

Yang Cheng didn't answer, but he suddenly thought of an even more terrifying thing. He immediately walked to the sidelines and waved vigorously at the players, especially Carrick, Michael, stay still, don't attack. Stay steady first, don't attack. attack!

He was making gestures and shouting to Carrick, and he could already guess Capello's next tactics.

When I score first, I will defend and counterattack. You come out to attack and attack with all your strength. The more offensive you are, the bigger the holes will be. The easier and sharper my counterattack will be.

This is a trap, a trap set by Juventus for Liverpool.

They just want us to attack! Yang Cheng said when he came back. He has defeated countless teams with this tactic. As long as my defense is strong enough, I can do this.

…………

…………

Liverpool was attacking hard. Carrick got the ball. Appiah immediately pressed forward and used his body to squeeze Carrick. The Englishman almost lost the ball and immediately passed it to Murphy who was retreating. Oops, the ball was intercepted. Well, Juventus counterattacked...

Yang Cheng looks very anxious. He keeps reminding him to stay steady, but it seems like Liverpool has lost control...

Both Carrick and Drogba were closely marked, especially Carrick, who was surrounded by Juventus players. Both he and Davies were restricted. Liverpool's midfield was completely suppressed, only They can often find players in front through long passes, but Juventus does a good job in this regard.

In Sutton's Bar next to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, it was crowded and packed with Liverpool fans. They were all staring at the screen. What was displayed on it was the time and the score between Liverpool and Juventus, 0 :1!

The entire Sutton bar became very quiet, as quiet as death. Everyone even stared at the screen with bated breath. They were all waiting for a change, even if it was just a very subtle change.

Will win! We will definitely win!

A whistle was heard on the TV screen, and referee Gonzalez whistled a defensive foul against Juventus.

When Zebina was defending Ronaldinho, he made a foul after approaching from behind and directly knocked the Portuguese to the ground. Suddenly, there was a burst of fans' dissatisfaction in the bar.

****u!

C*** French, dirty French!

He should be given a red card and told to get out!

All the fans looked so indignant, staring at the TV screen with their eyes wide open. When they saw that the referee just called Zebina over and gave a few warnings, without any intention of giving a card. , suddenly everyone became angry again.

Did this Spanish bastard take money from Juventus?

Did those bastards carry over their Serie A style to the Champions League final?

Do they plan to continue to use this kind of biased punishment to kill us again in 20 years?

There seemed to be a lot of people talking in the bar, and everyone started shouting.

When they saw Xiao Luo stand up again from the turf, there was a burst of cheers.

Come on, Liverpool!

Don't let them score again, be careful!

Being 1 goal behind, we still have hope!

Finally got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt. Ronaldinho's free kick was too hasty and did not consider his teammates in the penalty area. He wanted to score the ball directly, but in the end because of the distance, it was missed by Ronaldinho. Biati confiscated the ball directly.

Now it is definitely a big test for Liverpool. Their offense has obviously lost its square footage and is completely disorganized. What's more, after Carrick retreats to the backcourt, he directly looks for the frontcourt. Their midfielder The field was completely dominated by Juventus.

Tacchinati and Appiah looked at Davis and Carrick respectively. Yang Cheng originally wanted to use Murphy to help Carrick organize the midfield, but Murphy obviously does not have the ability of Gerrard. .”

Carrick's role in the previous Liverpool team was more as the No. 2 passer, that is, the pass before assisting the last pass. For example, his original pass was to find the forward pass. With the trident in the field, it was up to them to cooperate and make the final pass, but now, with Liverpool pressing full-court pressure from Juventus, Carrick's long pass has become the number one assist method.

Long passes have never been a stable means of assisting, which made Liverpool's offense look disorganized and full of mistakes. On the contrary, Juventus' defense was extremely solid and their full-court press tactics were very effective. Liverpool was suppressed. There was almost nothing to be done, and the Bianconeri's counterattack was very sharp.

While the commentator was analyzing, the situation of the game was also evolving.

To a certain extent, Liverpool fell into Juventus's plan, that is, after they fell behind by one goal, they lost control of the situation. The players began to want to press hard and get the game back to a tie as soon as possible. This made Liverpool The defense was completely exposed to Juventus' counterattack.

It can be imagined that one side attacked in a hurry and without any structure, while the other side set up camp, defended firmly, and then slowly planned a counterattack. In comparison, Liverpool seemed more powerful, but Juventus' counterattack was not More threatening.

But from another perspective, Juventus's rhythm also has to speed up, because Liverpool plays very fast and Juventus implements a full-court pressing tactic. They cannot be slow, because if you are slow, you will People will be missed and loopholes will be created.

It is inevitable that there will be gains and losses, but Juventus's tactics are more correct, so they are more threatening.

In the 18th minute, Cassano dribbled the ball forward from the left. After passing the ball into the penalty area and passing it to Trezeguet, he did not stop moving forward and instead ran to the front of the penalty area.

Trezeguet was pressed by Hyypia in the penalty area. He failed to stop the ball and almost lost it. He had to shoot in a hurry. Reina took the ball out for a corner kick.

Del Piero went to the corner kick and quickly kicked the ball away.

In the turbulent penalty area, all the Liverpool players were staring at the Juventus players, not daring to be careless at all, because everyone knew that if it was just a goal, they could still be saved, but if there was another one, then it would be a disaster. Totally hopeless.

Who dares to say that they can catch up with Juventus when they are 2 goals behind?

Yes, there is only one team, Inter Milan!

When they played Juventus away from home this season, they were 2 goals behind, but they tenaciously equalized the score in the second half. It was called the best game in Serie A this season because both teams showed unparalleled performance. level of football skills and tactics.

But you know, Liverpool is not Inter Milan!

No more goals!

It wasn't just the players who were shouting in their hearts, but all the fans in the Sutton bar.

Many fans even simply closed their eyes, gestured with their hands on their heads and chests, and prayed, hoping that God would bless Liverpool, We really can't be scored again!

Maybe, the night in Istanbul obscured their prayers, maybe, things in the world are so strange, the more you are afraid of something, the more likely it is to happen.

Just when you're all afraid of losing the ball, it happens again.

After Del Piero's corner kick was taken, it fell directly to the front point, but Thuram, Trezeguet and others were interfering. Liverpool players moved too close to the Juventus players, causing the front point There was a situation where no one was defending.

Finnan, who was guarding the left goal post, made the first save, but a figure wearing a black and white striped jersey got in front of him and faced Pirlo's foot, which was well placed. For a corner kick, there is no need to jump up, you just need to stand still, wait until the ball comes to your header, and flick it gently.

By the time Reina reacted, the ball had already flown into Liverpool's goal!

ALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

The on-site commentator shouted almost crazily, In the 19th minute, Juventus scored another victory!

Oh my god, this is almost a one-sided game. Although the two sides of the game are evenly matched from the scene, Liverpool's defense is full of loopholes under Juventus' offense, so that it is impossible to withstand Juventus. Si’s counterattack.”

0:2, this is undoubtedly the death sentence of this game. We absolutely cannot believe that any other team in the world can equalize the score again after falling behind by two goals, especially in such a situation. In a Champions League final, falling behind by two goals was undoubtedly a death sentence for Liverpool!

The TV screen showed Yang Cheng on the sidelines. The Chinese looked helpless.

This will undoubtedly be Yang Cheng's first Champions League final defeat in his life, and it will also be a very painful defeat. He should adjust the team as soon as possible and cannot continue to let the team continue to be in such a mess. Otherwise, Juventus will There will be more goals, and it might even turn into a bloodbath!

In the final analysis, Liverpool's players are still too young and too inexperienced. In their starting lineup, only one Davis has experience in the Champions League finals. The other players are either too young or have been playing in the middle and lower reaches for a long time. The team lacks experience in such critical competitions.”

You know, this is the Champions League final worth hundreds of millions of euros in front of billions of fans. It is a contest between the two most powerful teams in today's football. In this kind of game, mentality often determines the game. The key to victory or defeat.”

Just as the on-site commentator was analyzing and making suggestions, he saw Cassano, the hero of the goal, running towards Yang Cheng.
