Chapter 214: He is worthy of being a world-class handsome (4th [Thinker in the Clouds] Ten Thousand Rewards and Supplements)

'Lucas and Babel are not the kind of players who are good at defending and like to defend, Lucas obviously wanted to score today, he had a strong desire to attack and I believe Carlos' goal will stimulate the Brazilian. Leon said, drawing knowingly laughter from Banderas and Mikhailovich.

"I don't think Benitez will make any substitutions after the start of the second half, because their current squad is inherently attacking, and Babel will stay on the pitch and their task is to attack and attack. If you look at Liverpool's squad, do you have a real defender?"

Banderas and Mihajlovic thought about it, their eyes lit up, Leon didn't say that they hadn't paid attention yet, Gerrard and Xavi Alonso were both able to attack and defend, which created a false impression for them, Liverpool's midfield defensive ability is at least not bad, but, now after Leon's analysis, in the case that Liverpool must strengthen the attack, a combination like Gerrard and Alonso and Lucas seems to be good, but the real defensive effect may not be much better.

Alonso, Gerrard, Mascherano formed the "Dragon Horse Bag" iron triangle, considered to be one of the strongest midfield trio in Europe at present, Liverpudlian proudly claim that they have the strongest midfielder in Europe, however, this combination has a fatal point, that is, the seemingly inconspicuous, dirty work Mascherano plays an important role in it!

Mascherano is suspended, and now, Liverpool has no real defensive midfielder on the field, Alonso has to focus more on organization, and Gerrard has to be more involved in attack. Not to mention Babbel with almost zero contribution in defence.

***********

"If I were Benitez, I'd have Lucas defend full-time!" Banderas said. His task was to fill in the gaps and ask questions for Leon's reference.

"Well, let's not talk about whether Lucas is comfortable defending. "But how can he alone defend against Luka Modric, Arshavin, Juan Mata and Milito? ”

Both Banderas and Mihajlovich nodded, and that was indeed the case.

Subsequently, Leon summoned the players to give a lecture.

He began by praising Arshavin, not only for his goal for Inter Milan to open the scoring, but in fact, it was Arshavin who was the best performer in the entire first half, and if it wasn't for Reina's excellent performance in the second goal, Arshavin would have scored with his first shot.

Of course, Arshavin's performance was outstanding because of the help of his teammates, Mata and Aguero and Diego Milito or other players' frequent interspersing and passing, after attracting the attention of the Liverpool defence, Arshavin quietly left the eyes of the Liverpool defenders, no one noticed him, perhaps because he has been playing in the Russian domestic league, the Russian international is not well-known on the European continent, compared to Mata, Modric, For Diego Milito and other Inter Milan players such as Sergio Aguero, the lesser-known Arshavin is a real lack of presence in the hearts of Liverpool defenders......

However, I believe that after the excellent performance in the first half of the game, Benitez must have seen the important role of Arshavin in Leon's offensive tactics, and the second half of the game is bound to pay special attention to the defense of Arshavin.

***********

"Andrey, the second half is your time to cover for your buddies. Leon said to Arshavin.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room, and Arshavin also smiled and nodded, "No problem!"

Leon's tactical changes in the second half are simple to say, and the tactics of the first half are completely the same: Leon's tactics are to use Arshavin, who made Liverpool suffer in the first half, to attract the attention of Liverpool defenders and cover for others, while Mata, as well as the three attacking players of Luka Modric and Diego Milito, are now transformed into real killer moves.

Leon's tactic is to let one person cover for many people, and once there is an opportunity, Inter Milan will even play more and less at the offensive end, forming a thunderous blow to Liverpool.

"What if Liverpool tighten their guard against Juan Mata and the others?" Mihajlovic raised his hand to ask, he has obtained a coaching certificate, eager to one day be able to coach a team alone, so, he cherishes the opportunity to learn in front of such a world-class coach as Leon, Leon also has no secret from Mihajlovich, this is a reward for Mihajlovich: Previously, when Leon just coached Inter Milan, Mihajlovic was taken down, and it was basically difficult to get the opportunity to play, but the old Mihajovic has not complained, and he took the initiative to cooperate, and later took the initiative to retire early, and after entering Leon's coaching staff, he also worked diligently。

"Then let's go back to the tactics of the first half. Leon shrugged.

Mikhailovich was stunned for a moment, isn't that what it is, he suddenly realized, gave a thumbs up to Li Ang, and admired: He is worthy of being a world-class handsome!

The players also burst into laughter, and Leon is the soul and backbone of Inter Milan, and seeing the manager so confident and strategic, their hearts are extremely stable.

***********

Meanwhile, in the dressing room at Liverpool.

"In the second half we had to attack, and in this game, our basic requirement at home is to win!"

"The 0-2 deficit is not insurmountable! They have one less man than us in such a tight game, they have one less than us for an hour, which is a huge physical drain and it is bound to have a big impact on Inter Milan!" said Benitez.

Liverpool's players all nodded in approval.

'We have to defend well while attacking, so in the second half we have to make adjustments, we need players in midfield to provide more defensive protection and take on more defensive tasks!'

Lucas Reval suddenly felt the eyes of everyone, Gerrard and Alonso want to be more involved in the attack, and it is impossible to put more energy into defence, so only he will take on the job of Mascherano on the pitch - to protect Alonso and Gerrard.

Sure enough, Benitez then gave the order for Lucas to defend with all his might in the second half.

Despite the desire to be involved in the attack, the manager has spoken, and Lucas can only reluctantly accept the task: he will face Inter Milan's attacking group alone in the second half.

Inexplicably, Lucas was a little flustered......
