Chapter 34 Adjustment

Wansheng can still understand Benitez's thoughts. The previous games have proved that it is unwise for Liverpool and Derby County to play against each other, because they do not have much advantage in fighting, even if they have a great midfielder. Ladd, but only Gerrard. In other positions, Derby County is not much worse than Liverpool. Coupled with the relationship between physical fitness and tactics, Derby County is not weaker than Liverpool at all.

Perhaps the more important point is that Liverpool's striker is weak. After Cissé was injured, it was difficult for Liverpool to come up with a threatening attacking combination. Pangler, Baros and others have a little reputation, but in the Premier League Their performances are average, and they cannot be compared with Derby County's striker led by Kluivert and supported by Van der Vaart and Morris.

So after seeing Liverpool tied the score, Benitez decisively let the team retreat, began to stabilize the defense, and played a defensive counterattack.

Defensive counter-attack is Benitez's signature.

In fact, like Mourinho, he is a coach who pays great attention to defense. It is true that football defense can win better now. Wansheng also understands this truth, but this is Anfield Stadium, the site of the Liverpool people, Wansheng Winning and admiring Benitez is like this... At Anfield, Liverpool faced Derby County's drop-back defense. Is this play really good?

Is the Spaniard not afraid of dissatisfaction with Liverpool fans?

Or maybe he thinks that victory is the most important thing. As long as he wins, all dissatisfaction will disappear. It makes sense to think so, but the Spaniard thinks that Derby County should say that he will give him a chance?

too naive!

You all play like this at your own home, so I'm scared of shit!

Derby County is not afraid of not being able to win the game. You must know that Lao Tzu's team ranks third in the league, and now they are away to Liverpool again, so they don't have to pursue victory at all. A draw is perfectly acceptable.

so......

Not long after Benitez adjusted his tactics, Wan Sheng also went to the sidelines and made a movement of shrinking his arms to the players. The meaning of this action is obviously to make the team shrink the formation and start a defensive counterattack. The players on the field understood. Then Derby County quickly contracted the formation, which was much faster than Liverpool adjusted their tactics.

So the next game becomes very boring.

Liverpool did not mean to overwhelm the attack at all. The number of players who came up each time was not many. The same is true for Derby County. There are not many players in the frontal attack. Most of them are watching from the back, so the football falls in the middle back and forth. The players fought really hard. But football poses no threat to either team's goals.

The game became very tedious.

"We were expecting a good fight, but before the first half was over, the scene felt lethargic..."

"Liverpool did not show their dominance at Anfield at all, and Derby County, who was a guest, did not play their beautiful attacking football. It seems that the two managers are very serious about the game, and they are more let the team do the defense. ."

The match commentator said so.

He doesn't even bother to explain who is at the foot of the football, because it makes no sense at all. The football is always near the center line, and it can't hit the penalty area of ​​the two teams at all. The competition between the two sides in the midfield is very fierce, but in this case, it seems that it doesn't matter which team the football goes to, because they will not have more players to participate in the attack, and the football will not pose a threat to the goals of the two teams. , At best, it is just a long-range shot without threat.

In such a scene, the first half of the game ended quickly.

Benitez is a little surprised by this situation. He doesn't know Wansheng very well, but he only knows that the head coach from China is very young and has led the team well. More importantly, he can make Derby County played fantastic attacking football and, in conclusion, this is a very capable young man.

But young people should be arrogant!

Even if it is an away game against Liverpool, Liverpool's performance is not as good as Derby County. He took the initiative to let the team shrink the defense line, just to play a defensive counterattack. Aren't Derby County good at attacking? Then leave space for you, let you attack, and then we will play defensive counterattacks steadily, that's fine, and this is also the most beneficial way for Liverpool. Benitez always believes that defense is more important than offense. What's more, Liverpool's strength is still stronger than Derby County.

But what he did not expect was that Derby County also quickly shrank their defense.

As a result, the current situation is that the two sides are fighting each other in the situation, but the pressure is on Liverpool's side, just because this is Anfield Stadium!

Under the attention of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, this 'inactive' game will definitely make the fans dissatisfied. Benitez did not expect that the game at his home court would actually drag the team down. If the game continues like this Going forward, he is 80% sure that the team can at least get a draw. In the face of the third in the league, Derby County is in very good shape, 1 point is actually enough, if Derby County wants to win and attack, then three points are also very likely to be.

But it’s definitely not going to go on like this. If you get a point passively like this, in terms of fans and the media, Liverpool will face much more pressure than Derby County.

So at half-time, Benitez was a little hesitant. In the end, he sighed and decided to strengthen the attack, but the defense is still the most important, so this strengthening method needs to be considered, and he chose to make a substitution.

He let Luis Garcia play.

Although the Catalan Luis Garcia was born in the Barcelona youth team, it was the Tenerife team in the Western Second Division that really made him famous in the football circle. In the 2000-01 season, under the leadership of Benitez, Tenerife successfully reached the first division. Luis Garcia played 40 games, scoring 16 goals and handing over the first report card of his career.

Benitez then accepted an offer from Valencia, while Luis Garcia returned to Barcelona after two seasons at Valladolid and Atletico.

Rijkaard's transformation of him was not successful. He couldn't feel it on the right. He only scored 4 goals in one season. At this time, Benitez, who took over Liverpool, called, and Luis Garcia scored 900. The worth of 10,000 euros came to England.

In the first few rounds of the league, Luis Garcia did not find the feeling, and he did not have a stable main position because of this. However, his skills are still worthy of recognition. Whether it is speed, dribbling or passing, Garcia is very good, especially in dribbling, Garcia is even more outstanding. Although more people think that it is "flower fist embroidered legs". Because Garcia often loses the ball when he shows his footwork in the game, but at this moment, when the two teams are at a stalemate, it is more suitable for Garcia to play, because they are not afraid of Garcia losing the ball, if Garcia can have a few times Excellent performance, maybe even help Liverpool to score.

The second half starts. Liverpool made a substitution adjustment. Luis Garcia arrives.

When Garcia played, there were still many Liverpool fans applauding. Although Garcia did not even have a stable main position in Liverpool, his superb footwork still won the hearts of many fans.

"Liverpool has replaced Luis Garcia!" Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said, "Obviously Liverpool are going to strengthen their offensive, Garcia is a player who is very offensive, we can expect Liverpool to play on the left! "

Wan Sheng saw Luis Garcia play, but he didn't think Benitez would give up and go aggressive. That is very bad for Liverpool, if Liverpool attack the weaker side to attack. When Derby County went to defend, the chances of Liverpool wanting to win are too small. He believes that Benitez can see this, so the Spaniard is almost a gamble adjustment. No one can say whether it will work or not. But in the end, Liverpool's defense-based tactics remain unchanged.

Soon Derby County also made a move, Wansheng replaced Kluivert with Bolton Reiter.

A striker is replaced by a striker. Many people do not understand Wansheng's mind. George Woodgate is surprised, "What is this substitution for? Kluivert doesn't look like he is injured, and his previous performance is still good......"

The camera is pointed at Kluivert, and the Dutchman is seen walking steadily off the court and giving Bolton Reiter a hug. It is definitely very healthy, but what is the point of such an adjustment?

Soon there was no entanglement with this substitution.

After the start of the second half of the game, Liverpool increased their attack, especially on the left side of Luis Garcia, which was very flexible. The two midfielders Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso had the ball more. Most of them pass to the left. With the support of his teammates, Luis Garcia seems to be the core of the whole Liverpool. He drives the whole team to launch a fierce attack on the left. After dribbling the ball to the bottom line, he tries to pass frequently Create a threat, but it was only then that Liverpool players realized the difficulty of Derby County's defense.

In the first half, when they focused on defense, it was difficult to realize this, but when they stepped up their attack, they found that Derby County's defense can definitely be described as 'solid', and Garcia himself was often interrupted when he dribbled the ball. It is also difficult for him to pass the ball to his teammates. Derby County seems to have people in every position and it is very difficult to find a gap.

However, on the whole, Liverpool still somewhat suppressed Derby County. After all, Derby County did not increase their offense, and Liverpool's strength was slightly better than Derby County. This is the Anfield Stadium. In short, Liverpool has the advantage on the scene.

But the two teams are still in a stalemate, and neither side has found a chance.

In the 70th minute of the game, Derby County made another substitution. This time Wansheng replaced Rafael Van der Vaart with Peter Kennedy.

This substitution adjustment made many people even more incomprehensible.

Van der Vaart was replaced? Did Derby County give up their attack altogether?

Benitez also doesn't understand. In his opinion, Van der Vaart's performance is quite good. With Van der Vaart present, Derby County's attacking threat will definitely be much greater. Now the other party has replaced Van der Vaart. This is a Is it a tactical substitution, or is it just a matter of van der Vaart's lack of physical fitness?

Benitez doesn't understand.

However, the end of Van der Vaart made Liverpool players feel very good. They were still worried about the team's defense before. Van der Vaart was the most threatening player to the defense line, or even not one of them. Other Derby County players also stepped in. It's hard to get a chance, and the silly big man on the other side, center Bolton Reiter, hasn't done anything at all since he came out, so they don't have to worry about the opponent's offense.

So of course Liverpool has strengthened some offensive.

The situation on the field has become that Liverpool completely suppressed Derby County. This suppression is very obvious. In terms of statistics, Liverpool can only attack twice before Derby County can attack once. Liverpool has threatened Derby County twice. Derby County can only attack once. One threat, this statistic contrasted on the field, it was as if Liverpool had been bombarding the Derby County goal.

This situation has Liverpool fans excited.

The previous game really made them drowsy. Although they still trusted coach Benitez, they were somewhat dissatisfied with a newly-promoted horse on their own court. Some fans even booed to express their dissatisfaction, and now that Liverpool is in control of the situation, most of the time football is at the feet of Liverpool, so Liverpool fans are happy, they are excited to watch the sky and cheer, excited to cheer for the team.

The reporters in the media booth were also very happy.

There are only a handful of journalists here who purely support Derby County. Most of them are journalists who support Liverpool and neutral journalists. The former hopes that Liverpool will have an advantage, and a large part of the latter also supports Liverpool. More importantly, they also hope that the game will be more exciting. Some, now that Liverpool have a huge advantage and keep besieging the Derby County goal, this situation is really good.

Benitez is also very satisfied with the current situation. Although this does not guarantee that Liverpool can win, the team has at least regained its face. The situation is suppressing Derby County, so even after the game, the media can’t say anything. The results, although not very satisfactory, are not too bad either.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines.

The camera pointed to the past, and Wan Sheng's face was solemn, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing Wan Sheng's smile, many people didn't know why, but in fact, Wan Sheng was expecting that the adjustment he made would work. --As long as there is a chance.

Will Wansheng make useless adjustments?

of course not!

He just hoped that Liverpool could attack, and then attack again. It was best to press on the whole line. Derby County's counterattack was very sharp. He replaced Bolton Reiter for this purpose. In the previous game, Reiter scored He scored a few goals, but his performance was not very outstanding, but don't forget, where Leiter's advantages lie, maybe his skills are not outstanding, maybe he is not more friendly than the team in terms of passing coordination, but Leiter has A rather prominent feature is that it is fast enough!

Burton-Leiter is to occupy the main position with speed.

Two years of training, coupled with Leiter's potential in terms of speed, his speed evaluation value has reached as many as '95' points, this attribute evaluation is definitely the highest in the team, plus some of the football training master system. With the skill bonus, the speed that Leite can explode on the field can reach around '99'. If he counterattacks, there will be a 5% extra speed bonus of 'quick dash'. When Leite really runs, he can explode. out of '105' capability.

This statistic is absolutely terrifying.

Even Wansheng wasn't sure how fast the '105' attribute evaluation burst out, but he was sure that this speed could definitely be compared with those of the world sprinters. It can definitely exceed 95 points, which is much faster than the average player running without the ball.

And now, what Bolton Reiter lacks is just an opportunity... If the game continues like this, maybe the opportunity is not far away. (To be continued ~^~)
