Super Coach

No matter what the rumors are, at least during these two weeks of World Cup qualifying, Liverpool can definitely be regarded as the most popular among European giants.

In the first slot, England is 5 points behind Poland in the standings of Group F. This has pushed this traditional strong team to the edge of the cliff. The possibility of appearing in the World Cup in Germany is very small, and it has even been possible. Many professionals no longer have expectations for England. They all believe that England will lose the World Cup in 2020 after losing the Netherlands in 2020.

But in the key match on October 8, England defeated Austria 1:0. It was Liverpool midfielder Gerrard who scored the winning goal. This England midfielder was replaced by Eli in this game. Kerson moved to his best offensive midfield position, and he immediately performed well and scored the winning goal, giving England a chance of qualifying first in the group.

Since Bōlan had a bye in this round, the points gap between the two was shortened to 2 points. The match between the two teams on October 12th also attracted attention. This is a match that determines who can qualify first in the group. , the loser will be eliminated directly.

In this crucial game, Gerrard first assisted Owen to break the deadlock on the field, but before the end of the first half, the goalkeeper made a low-level mistake, giving Bolan a chance to equalize the score.

In the second half, the two sides played very fiercely. England launched one attack after another, while England tightened its defense and relied on defensive counterattacks, because as long as there was a draw, they could qualify.

At the critical moment, Gerrard's long shot from outside the penalty area in the 86th minute once again penetrated the Netherlands goal, setting up the victory for England. With this goal, England was directly sent to the World Cup in Germany.

With the victory of these two games, England reversed against England and topped the group... and successfully qualified.

After this game, the whole of England launched a round of indiscriminate bombardment against Gerrard, almost hailing him as the savior of English football, believing that the captain of Liverpool saved England.

Yang Cheng also went to watch the game in person, and he discovered something interesting.

Due to his arrival, Lampard's position has changed... Mourinho did not move his position forward as in his previous life, but instead transformed him into an engineer player similar to a defensive midfielder. , which makes the division of labor between the two clear in England's tactics, with Lampard positioned further back and Gerrard positioned forward.

Although Lampard playing as a defensive midfielder does not reassure people, Gerrard's offensive ability has been greatly released.

At least so far this season,

His consecutive goals in the Premier League have proven his offensive ability. It is impossible for Eriksen to criticize Gerrard's outstanding performance in this case, but Yang Cheng is still not optimistic about England's performance in the World Cup. The prospects... It's very simple. What England lacks is not players or stars, but rhythm. Gerrard is not a master of controlling the rhythm... Lampard is even less so. This is why England's overall strength is strong, but it almost fails to get out of the group. The reason for qualifying.

Carrick is very good at controlling the rhythm and passing medium and long passes, but the problem is that his defensive ability has never been reassuring. This is the reason why Eriksson dare not use him. Liverpool's core organizer needs a player on the side. To protect him, this is something that England's 442 cannot give.

As for the change of formation, Eriksen has no such consideration for the time being.

In addition to Gerrard's outstanding performance in the England national team... Larsson's performance in Sweden is also very critical... After missing the game on October 8, Sweden was defeated by Croatia 0:1... Both sides have the same points and the situation is precarious.

But in the game on the 12th, with Larsson's two passes and one shot, Sweden defeated Iceland with 31, and successfully won the right to qualify for first place in the group. The Swedish old guns even overshadowed their popularity this season. , Ibrahimovic, known as Van Basten II.

As for his competitor, Drogba's performance in the African qualifiers was equally impressive. His hat trick helped Cote d'Ivoire defeat Sudan with 30 away goals, reverse Cameroon, qualify from the group, and get tickets to the World Cup.

Essien relied on one pass and one shot to ensure that Ghana defeated its opponents 40 away games and also won a World Cup ticket.

Several other players, such as Arshavin in Russia, Robben and Kuyt in the Netherlands, Hamann in Germany, and Arrau Diarra in France, have all shown strong strength.

The only one who performed more poorly was Vidic. The core of Serbia and Montenegro's defense has always been Serbia and Montenegro's anchor, and his performance was as solid as ever. However, in the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, he At the last minute, he received a red card for an unnecessary foul and was ejected from the stadium.

However, this red card cannot conceal his role in the Serbian and Montenegrin national team. It was also his outstanding performance that allowed Serbia and Montenegro to beat Spain and qualify first in the group, while Spain was forced to participate in the play-offs. , fighting for the last chance. If it fails, Spain will likely miss the World Cup in Germany.

After Liverpool defeated Chelsea 4:1 at home, which attracted worldwide attention, and now the pivotal role played by Liverpool players in the qualifiers, the media all over the world suddenly began to be surprised to discover that it turned out that the Liverpool team There are already so many players who occupy core positions in their respective national teams.

Young Ronaldinho, Robben, Essien, Vidic and other players all landed in the Premier League at a young age and joined Liverpool. Over the years, they have always given people the feeling of being young players. But now, everyone is surprised. Where do you find these players are still teenagers?

The Times was the first to publish an article with an eye-catching headline, Caesar Made to Save England!

In this report, they listed the role of Liverpool players in the current England national team. Carragher is the main central defender, and Glenn Johnson replaced the injured Gary Neville in the starting lineup. He performed well. Ernock is the team's substitute left back, and Carrick is also an important member of the team's midfield.

Liverpool has contributed many players to the England national team. It is currently the team with the greatest contribution among the top four teams in the Premier League, and they have all played a key role. This is unmatched by Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.

If you count the list of Liverpool youth academy in the national teams at all levels... starting from 616 to the first team, Liverpool has increased from 7 international players in the past to 28 today in just over two years. The National Football Team is the club with the greatest contribution among all professional teams in the Premier League!

Perhaps... when we comment on Yang Cheng's contribution to Liverpool in the future, we should not just point out his role and transformation of the Red Army, but should say that he has brought earth-shaking changes to the entire England, at least what he has promoted Liverpool's youth reform has brought a steady supply of talents to the entire English football.

The most rare thing is that the technical reforms he has led are affecting England's national teams at all levels. After all, these national teams are mainly based on Liverpool's youth training players. In view of the increasing calls from the outside world for Eriksson to change his team, It's getting louder and louder... We can even look forward to seeing an England national team with more Liverpool colors in the World Cup in Germany.

Regarding the praise from the outside world, Yang Cheng did not show too much happiness.

There was actually nothing to be happy about, on the contrary... He felt that if he could, he should cry.

From the club's perspective, you can imagine Yang Cheng's mood when he saw the players traveling thousands of miles to participate in the national team competition, then coming back in a hurry, and gathering the next day to directly prepare for tomorrow's league game.

So, when Liverpool was at Anfield...the whole game was very poor...Yang Cheng directly used a lot of substitutes and was very embarrassed by Blackburn...In the end, with Larsson's goal, they narrowly defeated Blackburn 1:0. At this time, Yang Cheng directly expressed that he was very satisfied with the result of the game.

Chelsea beat Bolton Wanderers 51?

When the reporter mentioned this news, Yang Cheng laughed and was not surprised at all by the result. Then I should congratulate Mourinho. At least his team finally showed its offensive power, but Bolton is too Tough luck!

The implication is that Chelsea can't do anything to us, so they can only vent their anger on Bolton.

After hearing this, the reporters all laughed.

This round is a big test for the thickness of the team's bench. At least Manchester United won Sunderland away with 31, but Arsenal lost 1:2 away to West Bromwich Albion.

As Yang Cheng had expected, after losing Vieira and Edu, there was too much reliance on young players such as Fabregas, and Henry, Pires, Ljungberg and others were getting closer and closer to their thirties. Due to the disengagement of the players, Arsenal has long lost its courage.

After finishing the first round of the league, Liverpool moved to the European arena. With the goals of Gerrard, Drogba and Ronaldinho, they beat Benfica 3:0 at home and won their first victory in the Champions League group stage this season.

Interestingly, Ronaldinho scored a penalty in this game, which was created by Robben, but it was taken by Ronaldinho because Benfica is his father's favorite team. This makes everyone Everyone felt that this penalty kick would be more valuable and meaningful to Ronaldinho, so he took the penalty kick. As a result, the Portuguese also calmly scored the penalty kick.

In the other match of the group, Juventus played at home and drew with Villarreal 0:0.

Yes, you heard it right, Juventus tied with Villarreal!

Pellegrini's training ability is really outstanding. Even in Yang Cheng's previous life, he always felt that if Real Madrid were not lacking in patience and were willing to continue to give him trust and power, he would create a unique Royal team. Madrid is just like the Villarreal he has built now.

After Capello's outstanding performance in the Champions League last season, several signings this season have also given the team a lot of help. However, this season, Inter Milan, led by Bergomi, has returned to strength, especially in the In Serie A, Juventus is under pressure and has become the number one favorite to win the championship.

This distracted Capello and led to Juventus' poor performance in the Champions League.

After the third round of games, the situation turned around. With 5 points and a goal difference advantage, Liverpool defeated Juventus and became the first in the group. Juventus ranked second, and Villarreal occupied the top spot. Third, Benfica is last in points.

But just when the team won a big victory from the Champions League and returned to the Premier League... In the 0th round, Liverpool's away game against Fulham, the goal conceded in the 90th minute allowed Liverpool to bring back this season's success from the away game. First loss.

Chelsea suffered a frustrating 1:1 defeat at Liverpool. Mourinho's team tenaciously drew with Moyes' Everton.

This is almost a defeat for a strong team. Manchester United tied with Tottenham at home...Arsenal tied with Manchester City at home. The top four in the Premier League collectively failed to win.

This game also widened the points gap between Liverpool and Chelsea to 2 points, but the Red Army has one game less.

Although the problem is not big, there is an obvious problem that has been placed in front of Yang Cheng, and that is physical fitness and rotation!

The weather was not good that day, it was a bit cold.

But the boys at the Kirkby Youth Training Camp felt warm in their hearts, and their nerves were tense. Every training move was done in a precise manner, as if they had consumed twice as much exercise as usual.

Because there is pressure...that's why.

What put pressure on them came from the group of people standing on the edge of the court, especially the man wearing a peaked cap standing next to Steve Haway. He seemed to be a god here. Such a presence, almost all players are proud to have their names called by him.

Did you see that your arrival has affected our training! Steve Haiwei naturally noticed the changes in the young players... and complained with a smile.

Yang Cheng smiled and said, That proves that your player's psychological quality is not good enough!

What the hell, we are going to win the FA Youth Cup today! Steve Haiwei said confidently.

Liverpool's youth training strategy has insisted on the introduction of locally produced players in the past two years. Among them, Theo Walcott, Carroll and Gareth Bale are all imported from outside. The team poached some outstanding players from other clubs. Rookies are allowed to enter the Kirkby Youth Academy to learn and improve, but on the basis of introduction, the training of local rookies has not slowed down.

Then let's go to the League Cup to practice first! Yang Cheng suggested.

How many are you planning to take this time? Steve Haiwei asked with concern.

This is the first Premier League cup match of the season... Yang Cheng has already named three players before... Carroll, Gareth Bale and Theo Walcott. Now it seems that he is ready to add a few more. Seven or eight! Yang Cheng said with a frown.

So many? Steve = Haiwei was a little surprised.

Paul Bayer on the side nodded... took over and said: We need a week to adjust the team's physical fitness and prepare for the next rotation, so we decided to arrange most of the youth team players to play in the League Cup.

Steve Haiwei looked at Paul Bayer, then at Yang Cheng, with a flash of excitement in his eyes, It seems you are preparing to do something big this season!

Of course! Yang Cheng said with a smile, After two seasons and so much hard work, it should be bearing fruit!

Steve = Haiwei nodded, No problem, what position of players are needed?

Just draw up a list and give it to me, and then ask them to report to Melwood tomorrow! After Yang Cheng finished speaking, he greeted his assistants and left.

The group of boys on the training ground saw Yang Cheng leaving, and all of them looked disappointed, because they had not been appointed by this big shot, which represented his respect for the players of the youth team. Are we all dissatisfied?

What are you looking at, you bastards? Steve Haiwei shouted in his loud voice, Are you disappointed? Who told you not to train well? Mr. Yang Cheng was not satisfied with your performance just now.

Although they were mentally prepared, everyone in this group of guys still felt sad.

If Yang Cheng is not liked, the chance to enter the first team will be cut off.

Unexpectedly, Steve Haiwei changed the topic, But Mr. Yang Cheng said that he is willing to give you a chance to perform. In the third round of the League Cup the day after tomorrow, he needs a few players to play in the game. Who will be here today? Whoever performs best in training will report to Melwood tomorrow!”

One sentence rekindled the enthusiasm on the training ground.

This group of young players were all excited for the opportunity to play under Yang Cheng. They all worked hard and were very active on the training ground. If Steve Haiwei hadn't called for an emergency stop , I’m afraid a few more will be injured.

Finally, Steve Haiwei selected several players. In addition to Walcott, Carroll and Gareth Bell, three players that Yang Cheng had already promoted, Jordan Henderson, Jay Six players, Spearing, Martin Kelly, Aaron Ramsey, Jack Rodwell and Joe Hart, were also included in the League Cup roster by Steve Heway.

Some players are not yet 16 years old, but their performance is indeed outstanding and they have the potential to enter the first team to experience.

Mr. Yang Cheng attaches great importance to the Kirkby Youth Academy. He just told me that every week from now on, he will select three to five players who have shown outstanding performance and made significant progress to Melwood to gain follow-up experience. First team training and the opportunity to receive guidance from the first team coaching staff. ”

Steve Haiwei's words immediately made all the young generals present cheer excitedly.

But don't be too happy too early. This is an opportunity, but it is also a test. If you perform well, you will have a chance to enter the first team directly, but if you perform poorly, you will still be kicked back to Kirkby!

After a pause, Steve Haiwei suddenly showed a passionate expression.

The team is very ambitious this season. From the management to the first team, they have shown unprecedented fighting spirit and strength. The 4:1 victory over Chelsea is an example of this!

Speaking of this game, each of these young players showed a look like a pilgrim.

We aim to win the league title and defend the Champions League. If we succeed, it will undoubtedly be a season that goes down in history. If you can stay in the first team or even play for the first team, then you will also become football players. Part of the team’s history.”

Work hard, boys, you are the future of the team, don't let us down!! .
