Super Coach

Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks will know what happened in the first half.

The difference is that Barcelona supporters will do everything possible to find some reasons and excuses to cover up some things that happen on the court, but Liverpool fans will criticize everything.

Of course, there are also some neutral fans who just watch the fun and will not take a stand.

However, there are also a very small number of people. Maybe their purpose of coming to this stadium is not to watch the game, but just to support certain people, such as the players' families, or people like Jennifer Aniston.

The only person who allowed this American sweetheart to appear at the Stade de France was Yang Cheng.

Recently, she lives in Italy, and reads about the Calciopoli incident almost every day when she reads the newspaper. When Italian reporters and fans discuss the Calciopoli incident, the most common thing they mention is that it was Moggi and Galliani. They teamed up to force Yang Cheng away, which directly led to the decline of Serie A.

Although such a law cannot withstand rational scrutiny, it is not difficult to see how much Italian fans miss Yang Cheng.

Sometimes, she really doesn't understand what is it that makes Yang Cheng so obsessed with football?

When she once posed this question to Yang Cheng, the latter just smiled and did not give a direct answer, but said, That is a kind of emotion that is difficult to describe in words, very strange, and very charming!

You can think about it, fall in love with a team, and then support it wholeheartedly, so that whether it wins or loses, you can feel the charm of football!

At that time, she smiled and lay on his back, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, From now on, I will be a fan, no matter which team I coach, I will be a die-hard fan of that team!

Now...he felt somewhat worried about gains and losses in this game. He seemed to be winning, but he seemed to be losing.

She could see that the referee was favoring Barcelona... This was obviously a major confirmation of many media conspiracy theories before the game. It was indeed the governing body that did not want Liverpool to successfully defend the title, so this happened.

This kind of thing happens all the time in the United States, Italy, and in every so-called democratic and free country around the world, in all walks of life, but because it is in football, it is particularly noticeable.

You don't seem worried at all, Jennifer! Nedved, who was sitting with Aniston...with his wife in the middle, asked with a smile. Serie A is over,

He specially came here with his wife and children to support Yang Cheng.

The Yang Cheng I am familiar with will not give in so easily! Aniston pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows, as if she was smiling.

But even so, she was still worried to some extent.

Will he lose?

Mom, will dad lose?

Charles sat next to his mother, grabbing his mother's blue knitted jacket... and asked with concern on his face.

Under the influence of Yang Cheng, he likes watching football very much, but just to watch the excitement... He knows nothing about football. After all, he is 5 years old. It is undoubtedly impossible for him to understand the adult world.

Wearing a set of Adidas sportswear for children, Charles looks like he has the potential to be a handsome guy, because he has inherited the best genes from his parents, and he is the kind of person who is constantly approached by people when he walks on the street. He is a cute baby who pinches his cheeks, and his mouth is very sweet and he likes to laugh.

Charlize Theron pinched his pink cheeks lovingly... and simply picked him up from the seat next to him, put him on his lap, and shook his head, No, he will definitely win!

The man she loves will not be defeated by difficulties so easily. She loves him... isn't it because he can always create things that other men can't do?

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw players from both sides returning to the court one after another.

The Liverpool fans all around were shouting like crazy, singing the song Road to Anfield and Never Walk Alone. The two songs were sung in rotation, and some fans would also sing in between. Players song.

Through black sunglasses, Charlize Theron saw Yang Cheng, who was the last one to follow the team.

As soon as he walked out of the tunnel, he turned around and looked at the fans' stands. He smiled slightly, confidently, and raised his hands high, as if asking for some applause and cheers from the fans in the stands, and then raised his hands Make a fist, as if celebrating victory in advance.

This move immediately made the Liverpool fans in the stands go crazy with joy, shouting louder and deafening.

Yang Cheng still seems to be confident of winning the game. Is he provoking Barcelona? The on-site commentator found it a bit difficult to understand, Or is this a psychological war?

Maybe, both, because Yang Cheng has always been a difficult person to catch!

We can see that after the players from both sides returned to the court, neither team made any changes to the game lineup. This is a bit unexpected, because Liverpool has one less player. Does Yang Cheng intend to continue to use the previous lineup? Half-time tactics? Isn't he worried that Barcelona will take advantage of this?

I believe that at this moment, not only the on-site commentators but also Rijkaard were somewhat surprised that Yang Cheng did not make substitutions.

But no matter what, the game will still kick off as usual.

When Eto'o kicked the ball out, he saw that Liverpool did not press all the way like they did in the first half. Instead, the three lines retracted steadily, and then they took a stance in front of their own half and looked at Barcelona. Possess the ball in your own half.

Liverpool seems to have made some adjustments. At least with one less player, Yang Cheng chose a more sensible defensive counterattack tactic. The three lines were retracted, which can fill the hole of one less player to the greatest extent. But Liverpool can Can you defend Barcelona's attack?

I saw that after several passes of the ball, Xavi passed it to Ronaldinho, who was holding the ball with his back on the left. The Brazilian skillfully controlled the ball at his feet and tried to cut inside, but Essien had already In time, he blocked his path to cut inside and knocked the ball away with one kick.

I saw Carragher take a step forward and clear the ball with his big foot.

A beautiful team defense from Liverpool!

But soon, Barcelona's offense came to Liverpool's defense zone again, and once again passed the ball to Ronaldinho's feet... This time the Brazilian chose to pull across to an area near the center to receive the ball, but Essien blocked it between him and the goal.

The Brazilian used his personal ability to pass the ball to the right despite Essien's personal entanglement... hoping to find Messi who was on the right, but Vidic grabbed the ball in advance and cleared the ball with one kick. Defeated Barcelona's attack again.

Perhaps after seeing Barcelona's two consecutive attacks fail to achieve results after the start of the second half, Rijkaard directed from the sidelines, as if making targeted adjustments to the offense.

In the 51st minute...Barcelona made another attack. Xavi pulled to the right and Iniesta appeared on the left. The former got the ball and passed it to the latter. Iniesta chose to dribble forward, attracting Glenn. =After Johnson's attention, he distributed the ball to Ronaldinho, who was pulling to the center.

The Brazilian saw Essien rushing forward, deftly took the ball and then dunked it... It was almost the same as the one when Gerrard passed Puyol, but after dunking Essien, Ronaldinho just moved forward. Taking a step... After attracting Carragher's attack, he passed the ball behind Carragher.

Eto'o was already preparing when Ronaldinho got the ball. As soon as he saw Carragher grabbing the ball, he immediately cut in behind Carragher, and Ronaldinho's pass was also Came to him at the right time.

I saw the Cameroon Lions kicking off the ball without stopping and hit a volley that hit the ground.

Reina was very focused. After seeing Carragher blocking Ronaldinho, he also noticed Eto'o's movement, and his body position was also constantly moving. When he started to kick...he chose to fall to the ground and save Eto'o's close shot from the bottom line.

Roar! After saving Eto'o's shot, Reina jumped up from the ground, clenched his fists, and shouted.

The Liverpool fans in the audience suddenly burst into amazing cheers, and Reina's shouts could not be heard.

Spain's goalkeeper's performance has become more and more stable this season...especially at critical moments, he is always able to show surprising strength and try to keep the goal.

Barcelona played the most threatening attack since the start of the second half. Liverpool's defense was almost broken. Reina, with his help, kept Liverpool's goal intact. The Spanish goalkeeper's performance this season is really outstanding. , not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League.

The on-site commentator suddenly laughed and joked: I wonder what the Barcelona fans thought when they saw Reina wearing a Liverpool jersey and performing so well? After all, they could Reina was given to Liverpool at a very cheap price, but now, he has blocked Barcelona's shot worth ten thousand dollars!

After seeing Eto'o's shot blocked by Reina, Yang Cheng shook his head, turned around and looked at the bench behind him. He pointed at Warnock, who was slightly startled, but immediately jumped out.

Warm up, come on stage later!

Warnock nodded in understanding and ran to the side to warm up.

It seems that Yang Cheng has realized the danger and wants to make substitutions! The on-site commentator immediately speculated after the camera captured this scene.

This is normal. Glenn Johnson can attack, but there is no problem with defense. It would be better if the number of people is equal. After all, the cooperation between players can fill the holes in Glenn Johnson's defense. But the current situation no longer allows Liverpool to dedicate one person to help Glenn Johnson defend Ronaldinho.

There is already one less person, and if two more people are used to defend the Brazilian, then if there are two less people in the game, then this game will not be played!

As if seeing Liverpool's adjustments, Barcelona began to launch a fierce attack.

But after Liverpool made a mistake, Gerrard consciously returned to the defensive midfielder line to form a three-man midfielder to help Carrick and Essien defend, while Ronaldo and Robben also actively retreated to help defend the two midfielders. A side road.

After 3 minutes, Warnock replaced Glenn Johnson.

Great job, Glenn! Yang Cheng nodded in affirmation towards Glenn Johnson, who was walking over, We need to defend now...you know, we have one less person!

I understand, boss, we will definitely win! Glenn Johnson knew...this was a tactical substitution.

He knows his defensive ability well, and it is okay when attacking, but defensively, he is much worse than Warnock, Finnan and other players, especially Warnock, who will be a young player from Liverpool in a pair of games. He is one of the best in the team when it comes to marking people.

As soon as Warnock came on, Ronaldinho took the ball and tried to break through from his side...but he firmly blocked his position, forcing the Brazilian to pass the ball out, but Carrick was already prepared. Intercepted midway, intercepted the ball, and then made a long pass to Robben on the right.

Puyol fell at the back of the team and flew ahead to shovel the ball out of the sideline, forming a foul ball for Liverpool.

Although Warnock only defended once, he received cheers from the fans in the stands. Firstly, he is a child who came out of the Kirkby youth training camp. Secondly, he was indeed the one who defended Ronaldini. profound.

This 24-year-old defensive star is very important in Liverpool's defensive system. He can play on the left, center and right lines. Although he is not as good as Glenn Johnson and Finnan in terms of offense, his defense is always worthy of everyone's trust.

Time passed by minute by minute, but the situation on the court did not change much.

Barcelona suppressed Liverpool in an almost one-sided situation. The Red Army tightened the three lines and played defensive counterattacks. This allowed Barcelona to gain ample opportunities to control the ball in their own half, while Liverpool's counterattacks were often difficult to obtain due to insufficient investment in troops. Effect.

But what is very strange is that Barcelona's smooth cooperation only applies to its own half, or advances to the midfield. Once it enters Liverpool's crucial 32-meter area, it is immediately severely suppressed, because Liverpool is in this area. It was heavily defended with troops.

Is he preparing to defend 1:1? Mourinho frowned. Looking at the defense alone, Yang Cheng's change of formation was indeed successful.

The tactics of a team like Barcelona are based on a group of three people, with multiple players forming a rapid pass and receive cooperation on the court. That kind of short-distance cooperation, penetration and advancement often gives all teams a headache. .

With one person missing, Yang Cheng simply gave up all areas except the 32-meter area of ​​the goal, allowing Barcelona to control the ball calmly in those areas, but once they entered this area, they would snipe. Give a heads-up.

This drastic shrinking of the defensive line avoids the shortcomings of losing one man and declining scene control. It also ensures the solidity of the back line, especially after Warnock replaced Glenn Johnson. Almost all of the players above are strong defenders, and Luo and Robben are the last hope for counterattack. These two players are also actively involved in defense.

And a huge benefit of this shrinking defense is that the defense can cover all areas within 32 meters.

The short-distance passing and receiving cooperation that Barcelona is best at is very troublesome, but once they enter the 32-meter area, they will find that Liverpool's space restrictions are in place, and they will form a numerical advantage in the shortest time, and then Cut and separate every Barcelona offensive player, and then eat the Barcelona players one-on-one, or even two-on-one.

In this case, Barcelona's advantages such as good technique and excellent ball control ability will be wiped out, because the space is very restricted and very narrow. Playing tricks will make the ball go faster, but it will allow Liverpool to lose the ball faster. The players' advantages in physical confrontation and other aspects were fully utilized.

The only thing that was more unpleasant was that Hauge frequently gave Liverpool whistles for fouls, and even gave Essien and Riise a yellow card each. However, the movements of the Liverpool players were very restrained, and Hauge could not take advantage of the situation.

Of course, today's Barcelona are not very good at using the skills learned at La Masia Film and Television Academy, which is also a very important point. Otherwise, Liverpool would probably have to admit defeat by now.

Don't you see that Barcelona's players are dying? Ferguson chuckled.

This kind of pressing intensity is actually not uncommon in the Premier League. Many teams will adopt this tactic, but Yang Cheng shrank him to the 32-meter area to avoid the numerical disadvantage. However, in La Liga, Barcelona has certainly never suffered such a hardship.

In today's situation, it seems that Barcelona has the initiative, but in fact, they are unable to carry out an effective attack because their tactical characteristics are too single, blindly pursuing ground penetration, no high points, no long shots, it is difficult A threat to Liverpool's goal.

Barcelona had two long-range shots in the second half, one from Iniesta, which was weak, and one from Edmilson's back-up shot, but it turned into an anti-aircraft gun. It was obvious that the mentality of the Brazilian midfielder had become impatient.

Not just him, but others, even Rijkaard.

He's still a bit nèn! Heathfield chuckled, I remember Yang Cheng said something, football is like being a human being, nothing can be done too much. Now Rijkaard is obviously desperate!

These famous coaches were sitting in the stands, watching clearly, but Rijkaard, who was in the middle of the situation, was obsessed with the authorities.

In his opinion, Barcelona is only one step away from Liverpool's goal. That is, as long as someone can complete the last pass in the 32-meter area, which is the so-called assist, Barcelona can break through Liverpool's goal.

So now he is thinking about how to increase the final pass within the 32-meter area. His command is also aimed at this purpose, and the players also clearly feel the situation on the scene and this kind of response from the head coach. idea.

As long as it can be passed out, Liverpool will be finished!

In this case, they tend to ignore many potential threats. For example, the two full-backs are positioned too high. This way they can indeed participate more in the offense, but once they are counterattacked, will they have time to return to defense?

Rijkaard and his Barcelona will learn a hard lesson! Beckenbauer smiled.
