Super Marshal

Melwood Training Base, Liverpool, England. Eight? One? Chinese? W≤W≈W=. ≥8=1≈Z≤W≈. ＝COM

In the dim light of the head coach's office, Benitez and his assistants watched the video of the two rounds of Inter Milan and Manchester United. Everyone's face was covered with two words, solemn.

"Inter Milan's home and away tactics are very targeted, alpine is still alpine." Benitez praised.

When he was coaching in La Liga, he didn't deal with Gao Han less, and the two of them had some friendship, so he still knew Gao Han well and knew how strong this Chinese was.

"Strikes at home, defends away from counter, Inter Milan's tactical flexibility is very large." Assistant coach Paco Jestedan said.

He is the assistant coach of Benitez and an old partner. He has cooperated since Benitez was in charge of Trinefe, and then he went to Valencia and then to Liverpool. The two can be called side by side. Many years of best friends.

"This is also the most difficult part of the Serie A team. Look at Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan now. They are both offensive and defensive teams, which is a headache." Benitez is also Feel something in the heart.

Many fans are relishing his upset defeat of AC Milan in the Champions League final, but only he knows how thrilling that game was. To some extent, luck created him. Victory.

Coaching La Liga teams for a long time, he knows the difficulties of Serie A teams better than anyone else.

No, just in the quarter-finals of the Champions League just past, Liverpool lost to Roma one to two away in the round. After returning to the home court, it also took a lot of hard work. In the end, Crouch secured the victory and the final one. Zero eliminated the Red Wolves.

The total score was two to two, but Liverpool advanced to the semi-finals smoothly with the advantage of away goals.

Having met the Serie A team in two consecutive knockout rounds, Benitez really feels that he is unlucky, especially the high cold.

Of course, he is different from everyone.

Many people think that Alpine is invincible, but as an old opponent, Benitez knows better than anyone that Almost lost many games in Alpine, but in the end he relied on on-the-spot command to survive.

He is not invincible, but not easy to overcome.

As a professional football coach, Benitez is happy to challenge such a difficulty.

"Gao Han is the person who likes to dig out details the most among the coaches I have ever seen. If you want to beat him, you can't tolerate the slightest fancy. You must have solid strength as a foundation, and you must also work hard in details. ."

Benitez's remarks were unanimously approved by the surrounding assistants.

This is also the outside world's evaluation of Alpine.

"Although it is a home game, we can be ugly on the scene, it doesn't matter. Everyone knows that Inter Milan wins more than us, and we can even play chaotically, destroying the opponent's rhythm and possession."

In the face of Inter Milan, Liverpool is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of rhythm control and passing control, so Benitez simply does nothing, and directly disrupts the rhythm and passing control.

To exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses, although a bit brutal, but this is his best tactic.

"Snake has to play seven inches, against Inter Milan at home, we have to fight for the first goal, but our offensive ability..."

Benitez did not finish speaking, but the meaning was clear.

Liverpool’s offense this season is indeed a problem, or it should be said that since Irving left Liverpool and moved to Real Madrid, Liverpool’s striker has never appeared a trusted scorer.

At present, Benitez is relying on the high center Crouch, but the England tall guy is obviously not a scoring champion.

Whether in the Champions League or the English League, Liverpool's offensive weakness has long been criticized.

"So, the only thing we can rely on is set-pieces."

Having said this, Benitez looked around the assistant team, "There are still two weeks before the semi-final round. Next, we will focus on rehearsing defense and set-piece tactics in these two weeks."

"Understood." The assistants agreed in unison.

Everyone can tell that Benitez's mind is to put the set ball at the crucial position of determining the victory or defeat.

The ability to beat Inter Milan depends on whether their set-piece tactics work.

"For defense, Inter Milan's Trident will be difficult."

Benitez pointed to the TV that had just finished playing the video of the game, "As you can see, Ferdinand can't stop Inter Milan's trident alone, and Manchester United's defenses are falling apart in front of them."

"Of these three players, Ibrahimovic is the most difficult to defend."

The difficulty of the Swedish center has long been known in European football. He has the body and strength of a traditional high center, but he has a very delicate foot technique. What's more, this guy is from Taekwondo. The body is flexible.

It can be said that Ibrahimović is the most difficult bizarre flower in the Champions League over the past few years.

Of course, his strength, as well as his dominance in the penalty area, there is no doubt.

I believe that every team facing Inter Milan will have a headache how to defend Ibrahimovic.

"We need a person to freeze Ibrahimovic." Paco Jestadan said.

The other assistants around were all distressed.

If Ibrahimović were so defensive, he would not be a headache for all European giants.

"How about Hypia? He did a great job last night." Tactical analyst Duff McDonough suggested.

Paco Yesterdam looked at Benitez, a little worried, "Can he eat it?"

Benitez shook his head and said: "It takes 90 minutes to defend Ibrahimović. Hypia is 33 years old. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to sustain it."

Competing against opponents like Ibrahimović, it’s every minute that decides the outcome. Hypia still has the strength, but even though he is not young, it may be difficult to keep his focus in the ninety minutes of the game.

"You mean..." Paco Yesterdam guessed Benitez's intentions.

"Daniel Agger."

Yesterdam hissed and took a breath of air. "But he did not perform well in the knockout round of the quarterfinals. In the away game against Rome, he couldn't get rid of the two goals he conceded."

At the beginning, it was because of Agger's poor performance in the round that he sent Shanghai Pia in the second round. As a result, Hypia performed well. At this time, he still wants to win Hypia and continue to trust Ager?

If Agger is finally up to the task, it's okay to say, but if he performs badly again, Benitez will definitely be in the wrong, and may even be scolded by the fans.

"I know Aggre well. He is not the kind of personality that is easily knocked down. He has a strong will and knows how to reflect on himself. I believe he will not be easily defeated just because of a game."

When he said this, Benitez's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

He had no choice but to trust Age.

"Just do it, the defensive tactics and set-kick tactics for the next two weeks will be around Agger. I believe he will not disappoint me."

Yesterdam and the others looked at each other, thinking that Benitez was making a big bet.

Choosing Daniel Agger instead of Hypia, who is in better shape, is destined to be a game that can't be lost.

If you lose at Anfield, then Benitez must be held responsible for it.

Even if the opponent is the prestigious Alpine.

"By the way, Zenden is also scheduled for this game."

"Cenden?" Yesterdam lost his voice this time.

The Dutchman Zenden joined Liverpool as a free transfer in the summer of 2005. However, after coming to the team, he has never shown convincing strength. He is more of a substitute for the team and belongs to a marginal role. .

But for such a player, Benitez wants to arrange him in such an important game?

are you crazy?

Benitez obviously also knows that his choice makes his opponents confused, but he also chooses some things based on his feelings.

Zenden is indeed no longer at his peak, and he is a marginal role even in Liverpool, but he also has his own advantages. At the beginning, Benitez liked him because he played very hard and has strong willpower.

Moreover, he has played in Barcelona, ​​and he is more stable in competitions, and he is more able to hold his breath in such key games.

But the most important thing is that Zenden's passing and running are the best in the Liverpool team.

"He... can he do it?" Yesterdam was a little skeptical.

He didn't doubt Cenden's strength, but worried about his state.

This is the UEFA Champions League semi-final round. Is it okay to reuse such a marginal role?

But Benitez's attitude is very firm, must arrange Zenden, and said that Zenden has the ability to change the game.

"Sometimes, we need an unexpected force to defeat the opponent."

Yesterdam and others obviously understand Benitez's temper, and they all know that once the Spaniard makes a decision, it is difficult for others to change.

"Also, Jose." Benitez looked at the goalkeeper coach, Jose Ochuto Reina. "In the next two weeks of goalkeeper training, pay attention to arranging penalty kicks."

"Penalty kick training?"

"Just strengthen the practice, maybe it will be useful." Benitez said.

Everyone knew that this should be one of his plans.

Even if he couldn't beat Inter Milan during the entire game, he would have to drag the two rounds into a penalty shoot-out.

Benitez's idea is very simple. Set up a game at Anfield. Inter Milan, who trapped the cold, will not say, but also strive for a goal, which will be the key goal that determines the two rounds of the game.

Therefore, he must not only carefully select his lineup, but also carefully prepare his own tactics.

Isn’t that what Gao Han is good at is details?

Then I will use the most subtle details to kill Gao Han at Anfield Stadium!

When the game went to the 62nd minute, Liverpool was in a counterattack. Zenden received the ball from the neutral area and turned to take the ball forward. Evra accidentally tripped him while defending, and the referee decisively blew it. foul.

Liverpool's frontcourt free kick.

Gerrard personally took the penalty, Crouch, Carragher and Agger have all pressed Inter Milan's frontcourt.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Gerrard rushed forward and there was chaos in the penalty area. Crouch and Carragher sprinted into the penalty area at the same time, creating an illusion of rushing in to fight for the high point, deceiving Inter Milan's defense. The players also followed suit.

But as a result, Gerrard suddenly crossed to the front of the penalty area. After Agger received the ball, he passed Cambiasso who was caught off guard and pushed with his right foot, sending the ball into Cesar's guard. Goal.
