Rafael Benitez's hopes for Hamann's sudden outburst of wishful thinking are left aside for now, and after Andy Gray explained Liverpool's squad for the game, Martin Taylor took over the task of introducing Tottenham's starting line-up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared with Benitez, who had to put on the traditional British 442 parallel standing formation in this game out of the consideration of player habits, George, who has been in charge of Tottenham for a full season, obviously has a lot more room in the formation. At the back, Petr Cech is in goal, Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic are in central defence, Patrice Evra and Stephen Carr are separated, in midfield, Mascherano is behind as a lone midfielder, Xavi Alonso and Basturke form a midfield duo in front of the Argentine, and up front, Franck Franck Ribery, Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo form a powerful front trident who will take on the responsibility of attacking the city in this game.

Mascherano and Basturk partnered Xavi Alonso...... It seems that this should be the main midfield combination of Coach Nelson this season. After reading Tottenham's starting eleven, Martin Taylor said in a deep voice, with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, "According to Tottenham's style of play last season, the last man in the midfield triangle should be Edgar Davies, who is more tough defensively, or Mendieta, who has more coverage." I don't know what Coach Nelson's considerations were to arrange Basturk and Alonso to partner in midfield. ”

The decision to partner Xavi Alonso was a deliberate decision made by George to partner Basturk, who excelled in dribbling and ball protection. On the one hand, because Tottenham now have the likes of Edgar Davies and Mendieta in the midfield, it is natural that there is no need to rotate the Turks and Alonso as the core of the organization as last season, and on the other hand, it is because Basturk and Alonso are more complementary in terms of technical characteristics!

Although Alonso has a much better frontal defensive ability than most of the top midfielders, his playmaking ability is also world-class, and he has an excellent long-range shot, but the Spaniard's lack of ability to get rid of the ball makes him an easy target for opponents. That's why George will play Basturk, who has better dribbling and ball protection, rather than Davies or Mendieta to partner Alonso.

George doesn't believe that Benitez, who has been in La Liga for many years and has always coveted Alonso, will not know what Alonso's weaknesses are, let alone press the hope that the Liverpool players will not start a siege on Alonso in the game!

"Mendieta, Davies, Kompany, Villa, Klose, ......" At the same time, Benitez, who was standing in front of the away team's bench, silently looked at Tottenham's luxurious bench, and then glanced at the rough brother behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, secretly saying that God is really unfair, why does his opponent have so many talented stars to play for, and he can only rely on a bunch of simple-minded and well-developed players to play the world?

At this moment, Benitez can be said to be extremely envious of George in his heart, and at the same time, his dissatisfaction with his predecessor Houllier is also deeper - Haollier, you also spent time in the position of head coach of the French national team back then, why did you change your personality when you arrived in Liverpool, and your tactical play is even less technical than that of the local coach in England?

Look at Houllier, Liverpool you have been in charge for many years, and the Reds of the Premier League, who were known for their skills and flashy attacks during the Evans era, have turned into a team that can only play dull defence and counterattack with long passes. As a Frenchman known for his romance and elegance, don't you feel ashamed at all?

It has to be said that although the technical transformation of Liverpool has just begun, and many tactical intentions have not yet been successfully carried out, Benitez is worthy of being a master of tactics, and he used the existing personnel to resist Tottenham's onslaught after the opening - in the face of Tottenham players pressing step by step after the start of the game, Liverpool players actively shrink the formation according to Benitez's arrangement, compress the offensive space of Tottenham players, and reduce the chance of being directly torn apart by the opponent's pass.

With his favorite players not in place and his time in charge of the team is still short, Benitez can only temporarily use Houllier's legacy tactical system to deal with Tottenham's strong opponent!

"It would have been nice to bring in Alonso first...... "Watching his own players struggling to resist Tottenham's attack, Xavi Alonso is wearing a Tottenham shirt and organizing waves of threatening attacks in the midfield, Benitez's heart can be said to be mixed. The Spanish coach now regrets his decision to chase Robbie Keane in the first place, because without Robbie Keane, he still has strikers such as Cisse and Baroshe at his disposal, and without Xavi Alonso, Liverpool are missing the first and most important link in attack!

However, after seeing Barosche and Cisse sleepwalk in attack, Benitez has no strength to regret it. Because he found that even if he got Alonso, he might not be able to bring this group of pit goods!

Although Owen has attracted a lot of scolding for his poor performance in dealing with people, and in his previous life, because of this, his status in international football is not as good as that of other superstars, but at his peak, he is definitely the first-rate existence among all forwards in terms of personal ability. Especially when it comes to quick counter-attacks, Owen is a nightmare for all defenders!

And now Liverpool, what they lack is precisely such a big killer that can be used in counter-attacking battles - Cisse and Baroshe, although they are also good at speed, are still a notch behind Owen, which leads to them having to allocate more energy to fight against opposing defenders. And the worst thing is that the physical confrontation ability of these two people is basically not very good!

At least, in this clash with Ledley King and Nemanja Vidic, Barosh and Cisse's performances can only remind people of an idiom - a sheep in the mouth of a tiger!

"Hmph!" After seeing Barosh drop the ball under Vidic's close pressing, causing Liverpool's counter-attack to die again, David Morse, who was watching the game in the VIP box, snorted coldly, and then got up and brushed his sleeves away - obviously, after watching Barosch and Cisse play like invisible men in this game, the Liverpool owner has deeply realized what George did not say at the banquet at Boyd Layton Manor that day, despite Ferguson's obstruction.

However, it is clear that Morse has no intention of spending money on Liverpool to buy people to make up for the team's shortcomings - if he really had this intention, Benitez in his previous life would not have been forced to tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall all day in order to strengthen the team.
