Super Coach

In response to the complaint made by Liverpool, UEFA responded quickly this time. On the third day after the game, Platini, the executive member of the UEFA Disciplinary Committee, announced that it would suspend Vidic's red card. The game will uphold the original decision, Although no action can be seen from the TV video, we still believe in the professional judgment of the referee. After all, he was directly faced with this foul at the time, and he has the most say in the penalty.

After explaining the original intention of upholding the original verdict, Platini also stated again that the videos and materials submitted by the club in the future can only be used as reference and cannot be used as direct evidence. Football is different from other sports. We cannot Always overturning the referee's decision after the game will weaken the referee's authority on the court.

We should treat misjudgments with a more tolerant attitude, because this is part of football!

Yang Cheng was mentally prepared for such a result, but he still made a statement on his Weibo to express his disappointment with UEFA's penalty this time.

I really want to say to those who think that misjudgment should be a legitimate thing in football, screw you!

You can't imagine that 26 people trained every day for a season and played countless hard games. In the end, they were sentenced to death because of a misjudgment. How cruel and unfair it was.

I am very disappointed and regretful about this penalty. It is not because our red card appeal was not successful, nor because Vidic missed the second round, but because of the attitude!

Media around the world have been paying attention to him for a long time. As soon as it was posted on Weibo, it was immediately forwarded by countless media people and fans in a short period of time. Countless people also rushed to comment, and the vast majority expressed support for Yang Cheng. Think Liverpool should reverse Milan at Anfield.

But after posting on Weibo, Yang Cheng didn't have the time to read the comments and went directly to the boot room.

Hyypia's body has declined a lot but he is very experienced. Vidic is absent, so let him play!

In the boot room, all the coaches of the entire first team gathered together to discuss the game strategy for the second round.

The first one to bear the brunt is of course Vidic's substitute. Between Daniel Agger and Hyypia, Yang Cheng undoubtedly chose the latter. Although the former has a better body, Hyypia is more experienced and better. steady.

In such a crucial competition, veterans still need to be more calm.

Then let's go to Agger in the FA Cup! Paul Bayer suggested.

Yang Cheng nodded and now for Liverpool,

The key is the second round against Milan, everything else is secondary, only winning this game is the key.

There are very few injuries in other positions of Liverpool, and the entire main lineup is neat, so it is not a big problem.

But in order to allow the players to recharge their batteries, Yang Cheng immediately gave some players who played the full game a day off the day after playing Milan so that they could have a good rest and be in better shape to face the second round. game, and he is not prepared to use all his main players in the FA Cup match at the weekend.

This time the opponent is Middlesbrough. Although their strength is good, Yang Cheng is still more confident as Liverpool plays at home.

Comparing us with Milan, the first advantage is the schedule! Benitez analyzed on the screen illuminated by the projector, which listed the schedules of Milan and Liverpool. They are currently fifth in the league and behind fourth-place Chievo. 3 points, and with the league still struggling, it is very likely that we will miss the Champions League next season.

So they have to give their best in every game, but Ancelotti's rotation strategy is not good and he was criticized in the middle of the season. In the second half, he only made small adjustments and did not make major rotations. , so it can be predicted that our physical fitness will be more advantageous.

Yang Cheng has decided to use the league to make way for the Champions League, so the main players will get a week of rest.

Ancelotti mainly uses two tactics in Serie A and the Champions League this season. One is the 4-4-2 midfield diamond position, which is a combination of four No. 10s that is very appreciated by football fans. It is a copycat! Benitez The sudden joke made everyone in the boot room amused.

This tactic of four No. 10s is said by many to be an inspiration stolen from Yang Cheng, because Yang Cheng used four No. 10 midfielders in Inter Milan to beat Ancelotti's Juventus and Milan. Parry.

Rui = Costa, Gattuso, Seedorf and Kaka, with Gilardino and Inzaghi in front. This is Milan's main configuration. With Ancelotti's character, I guess, He will continue to use this lineup to start, but it is also possible to replace Seedorf with Ambrosini. Yang Cheng sat far away, leaning on the table with his left hand and supporting his head to analyze.

The advantage of Ambrosini over Seedorf is that he is more capable of both offense and defense. In other words, he can do any job. He can attack forward and defend later. He is the kind of versatile character, while West Dov is stronger in offense than defense, and is better at coordinating Rui and Costa in controlling the ball. But the problem is that the Dutch are always weak in key games.

Milan is more delicate than us in terms of ball control! Benitez was very direct and to the point. Their ball control ability is better than ours, but our passing and cutting cooperation is not as good as our ability to touch the ball. They are outstanding, so I suggest that they simply give up possession of the ball, but set up a tight defensive line in the midfield to cut off the connection between their frontcourt and the middle and backcourt!

Benitez drew a horizontal line between the two players Seedorf and Gattuso in Milan's formation, with the offensive trident in front and the defensive zone behind.

In fact, Liverpool will use this set of tactics in the first round, but unfortunately, one person is missing for a long time in the game, making the team's execution ineffective.

Yang Cheng thought about it and felt that Ancelotti would make certain adjustments. Push the positions of Gerrard, Ronaldinho and Robben forward!

Do you want to call 423? Ian asked.

No, it's more flexible. Once Milan gets the ball, Gerrard retreats to the midfield and builds the midfield defense line with the two defensive midfielders. Drogba comes back to play Rui = Costa, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo I was just staring behind the opponent’s centre-back!”

After a pause, Yang Cheng analyzed: It is good to have the front midfielder behind the back. It allows the organizer to pull out the opponent's defensive zone and gain more calm opportunities to control the ball, but the problem is that this will make the midfielder line The frontal defense has become very weak, especially since Rui Costa is not young, and his running range and physical functions have declined a lot.

We simply give up possession of the ball. Since Milan likes to possess the ball, let them control the ball, press the defense forward, force them to pass more passes in the backcourt, and use their half court as a It’s our main battlefield and how to do this?” Yang Cheng smiled and pointed at the tactical board, “Rui = Costa!”

Benitez couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. It was indeed a bit bold to do so, but the problem is that the current situation has reached the point where Liverpool must burn the boat. So for Liverpool, it doesn't matter whether it is bold or not as long as it can win. If you have a chance to win, that's reasonable.

The Spanish fat man remembered that Yang Cheng said that the Chinese have an old saying, Throw yourself into death to survive.

After understanding this, Benitez continued his tactical analysis.

In the first round of Milan's ground game, both sides defended closely, giving up the full-back attack, and used two veterans, Maldini and Costacurta, to occupy the left and right full-back positions respectively, while the center was used The combination of Stam and Kaladze, but in order to make up for the lack of speed and turning, their defensive line positioning is more rigorous.”

The two veterans are indeed very old, but the problem is that they have rich experience. If used properly, they can indeed contain their opponents. At least in the first round, Ronaldinho was contained by Costacurta.

But their protection at the front of the penalty area is relatively weak, so we must try our best to create a situation that allows us to get in from behind, or players who cross from the wing, and get as many players as possible at the front of the penalty area. A chance to kick off!”

It can be said that Benitez's point of view coincides with that of Yang Cheng. The two discussed it for a long time and decided to adopt such a tactic.

Long-range shooting is Liverpool's weapon. Gerrard is like a mobile cannon. Ronaldinho and Robben also have the ability to score from long-range shots outside the penalty area. Drogba is a slugger. Once he gets it Chance, then Liverpool's long shot will pose a fatal threat.

But it is not easy to do this, because Milan is also very aware of its own shortcomings, and Ancelotti will do everything possible to find a way to send the ball out, and then use the midfielder Gattuso as a troublemaker to mess around. Cushioning Liverpool's attack.

Therefore, in order to achieve this step designed by Yang Cheng and Benitez, it is necessary to ensure that the midfielder can effectively cut off the connection between Milan's front and backcourts and force the ball to be kept in the backcourt as much as possible.

If you use one word to describe the tactics of Yang Cheng and Benitez, it should be a battle between trapped beasts!

But to achieve this, the cage of the trapped beast must be strong.

In Yang Cheng's view, Carrick is not suitable for starting. Essien will definitely occupy one of the main positions. Aarau = Diarra, Hamann and Davis will compete for another position. The key is who to use.

Returning to Liverpool from Milan, the team ushered in the FA Cup semi-finals almost non-stop.

Middlesbrough has basically escaped the relegation zone and has no desire anymore, so they have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the competition for the FA Cup. For middle and lower-tier teams like them, it is already very important to win the cup. Something amazing.

This made Middlesbrough become very involved at Anfield and launched an active full-court press almost from the beginning of the game. Liverpool, under Carrick's dispatch, firmly controlled the rhythm. Vidic The command at the back line ensured that the team could steadily withstand Middlesbrough's attack.

Obviously, Middlesbrough exhausted their energy in running and pressing too much. In the second half, they began to feel a little weak. Carrick accurately found the right wing with a long pass in the 78th minute. Walcott successfully countered offside.

This youngster from the Kirkby Youth Academy is very fast. He tore through the entire Middlesbrough defense like a bolt of lightning. After receiving the ball, he cut inside and faced the defensive player and passed to the left. Franck Ribery stepped in from the back and scored a goal that sealed the victory for Liverpool.

That is to say, with Ribery's goal, Liverpool defeated Middlesbrough 1:0 at home and entered the FA Cup final. Their opponent was the West Ham United Hammers who defeated Newcastle 21 away. A very tenacious fighting spirit.

In the FA Cup final, Liverpool met West Ham United. This undoubtedly made many people very optimistic about Liverpool, but the premise is that they must survive this most difficult schedule first.

Almost the whole world began to turn its attention to the Anfield Stadium three days later. Will Yang Cheng lead Liverpool to stage another miraculous comeback, eliminate Milan and reach the final, or will Caesar swallow the football in a live performance?

In fact, UEFA also promoted this game as a key point. On the contrary, Barcelona vs. Arsenal received less attention. Almost the world's football fans and media focused their attention on Liverpool.

In recent days, Charlize Theron can feel the pressure from Yang Cheng.

Every night I lie on the bed and toss and turn. I often get up in the middle of the night, go back to the computer room, read some information, or watch some game videos, and then get up early the next morning to go to the training base early. . She could tell that Yang Cheng had been under a lot of pressure recently, and even his most beloved Chajian Si couldn't get along with him for long every day.

He has lost a lot of weight recently!

But Charlize Theron also knows that it is impossible for him to give up his favorite job, at least not now. He will not give up before he reaches his goal. So as a woman, she can only There are not many things she can do if she can choose to support the man she loves and continue his affairs, and she doesn't know how to help him, so she prepares enough ingredients every night to cook a can of soup for him...and keep it warm. Put it in a bottle and let him take it away.

It's too old-fashioned and a bit disgusting! He would say this with a playful smile every time, but he still took it.

Theron knew that this was a man who carried everything on his shoulders, so he didn't want to accompany him to face those things... so she pretended not to know anything, cooked food for her, and brought food with her Boy, wait for him to come back.

For this reason, she simply gave up all her work and stayed in Liverpool to take care of him.

Every day, standing in front of the window sill of her son's room, watching Yang Cheng drive away from home, she would be concerned in her heart, would he stay up late again at night, would he come back very late?

It's not that I'm worried about him fooling around outside, but I'm worried that he works too hard!

Every day, Yang Cheng would say goodbye to her with a smile on his face, but after getting in the car and leaving the house, he would frown.

The pressure will always be there until the game against Milan is over.

Just like Heathfield said, I worry about the game every day when I open my eyes, one game after another, one season after another, without stopping.

But Heathfield is an old man and he has not retired yet. Young man Yang Cheng, how can he have the nerve to say he is tired?

He was always the first at Melwood, always, but today was a bit of an exception because someone had preceded him.

Edgar = Davis, he is at the door of Yang Cheng's office.

Is something wrong? Yang Cheng was a little surprised.

Davis grinned and didn't answer, but the meaning was clear.

Let's talk after we go in! Yang Cheng opened the door of the office and welcomed Davis in.

After asking Davis to sit down, Yang Cheng also put away his things and sat down opposite him, What do you want?

Davis shrugged, It's actually nothing, I just... thought I should tell you.

Yang Cheng nodded and motioned for him to continue.

You know, I'm 33! After seeing Yang Cheng nod, Davis continued: Essien has performed very well this year, but my body has started to have more problems again, and my eye problems have also become more and more serious. The more serious it is, many times I want to work hard to perform, but...

The Dutchman shrugged, helpless because he was helpless.

Yang Cheng didn't say anything, but he understood this feeling. You will feel this way to some extent when you get older, so people should cherish their youth and work hard for their careers. When they are old and have achieved their goals in the future, they can retire and enjoy life.

This is Yang Cheng's life plan.

Ajax contacted me, you know, I came from Ajax, so they wanted me to come back!

Davis's contract with Liverpool ends this summer. Liverpool asked Yang Cheng for his opinion before. Considering that Hamann also wanted to leave, after all, the German cannot play the main position here, and he wanted to go to a team that could give him The main position of the team, so Yang Cheng hopes to renew the contract with Davis.

But it seems that the Dutch want to leave.

I'm just talking to them, but my idea is to go. Essien and Arrau Diarra performed very well. Carrick and Murphy are also outstanding guys. With them Yes, midfield is no problem.

Yang Cheng nodded. At least Davis could tell him in advance before leaving. That would have proved his respect for him. It was better than many people who didn't even say hello and just signed a contract with the other party and waited until the contract was signed. It is much more affectionate to leave freely after expiration.

Seeing him like this, it is fitting that Yang Cheng brought him from Serie A to the Premier League.

I have a big mouth... Davis chuckled. This was a big problem for him. But after coming to the Premier League, I changed a bit. After all, I learned a lesson from Serie A, so I usually don’t say it, but…”

The Dutchman tilted his head slightly, Really, really thank you for bringing me to the Premier League and giving me a chance to prove myself again. Thank you!

Yang Cheng smiled and shook his head, Thank me for anything, you deserve it!

At least not many people were willing to give me a chance at that time, and you always trusted me so much! Davis said seriously.

Yang Cheng sighed deeply. He knew that Davis was indeed leaving, and with his current situation, he would not be able to play the main position if he stayed in Liverpool. It was not that his strength was too poor, but that his body was not strong enough to support him. Continue to compete in the Premier League.

I will have a good talk with Rick! Yang Cheng decided to respect Davis' decision.

Thank you, boss! Davis said, stood up, nodded, and was about to leave.

Suddenly, Yang Cheng thought of something and immediately called Davis, Edgar!

Davis turned back.

Let's have a farewell match against Milan! Yang Cheng suggested.

This is another team that has brought painful memories to Davis. Back then, he ambitiously joined Milan from Ajax. As a result, he performed poorly in one and a half seasons due to injuries and tactical adaptation. He was cleared by Milan at a low price and went to Juventus.

Although he was not as resentful towards Milan as he was towards Juventus, after hearing what Yang Cheng said, Davis couldn't help but grinned his big white teeth, smiled, nodded and said: Okay!! .
