Chapter 45: A Game for the Defenders
"One to one! The big score is 3-3, and Liverpool occupies the away goal advantage! β
Dalglish stood on the sidelines, looked at the young man next to him and thought: "Let's change, let's change, it's good to kick if you change." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Milan want to win now and don't have much of a choice, switch to an attacking player? It was impossible, Allegri didn't even think about doing it, and it was still the first half.
But Dalglish thought very clearly, AC Milan's attack is blocked, the attack cannot be opened, and the defense will suffer more pressure.
Allegri can now only gamble, either change the defender to solidify the defense, or change the offensive player to fight.
However, it all has to be a second-half affair.
Now, Dalglish pondered whether it would be possible for the team to score another in the first half and force Allegri to make a move.
After all, Carragher's injury made Liverpool play a card for nothing, and although Diego performed well, it would not be much better than Carragher.
However, in this kind of game, Dalglish is steady, he knows that he doesn't have to play all the cards, and even Allegri plays cards, he doesn't need to take the move.
What has been done for a whole season is not something that can be compared to the impromptu cramming, there are not so many on-the-spot commanders in the world, at least, Allegri is not.
Allegri's team-building ideas, or tactical requirements, the midfielders are all hard, can steal, low control, poor ability to create opportunities, and when encountering Liverpool's perverted midfield lineup, it is basically to throw darts on the turning fan leaves, purely depending on luck.
In the words of the fans, Allegri likes to drag his opponent to the same level as himself, and then use his life to kill the opponent.
Allegri now has two options.
One is to pack Cassano and Inzaghi for them, because in his tactics, the bridgehead tactic, he needs a little prince who makes cakes and a few opportunists. But these opportunists have to be midfielders rather than strikers, and as soon as the tactics are changed to the original tactics, Cassano will not be able to stay here, and Inzaghi will also lose his role, and if he wants to change, he will have to change the whole thing.
Another option is to strengthen the defense, fight until sixty or seventy minutes, and then make a large number of substitutions at the back, use the defense to fight Liverpool, and finally find an opportunity to gamble on luck.
The effect of the former substitution is unknown, and the latter is not a good choice to gamble on luck.
On Liverpool's side, except for being attacked by Inzaghi when he was not vigilant at the beginning, he was basically completely crushed by the midfield and backfield, and he was not afraid of AC Milan at all, so there was no need to adjust for the time being.
Now the initiative is with Liverpool and the choice is with AC Milan.
Allegri is also stable, he doesn't make substitutions, he doesn't change his tactics, and he forcibly fights hard.
In fact, AC Milan's life was really hard, in the 43rd minute, Wang Zhen went out of the penalty area and pretended to be a bridge, but in fact, he turned around and shot a cold arrow, and the football hit the crossbar.
As a result, the highlights of the game are all focused on two aspects.
One is that AC Milan's attack was intimidated by Liverpool defenders, and the other is that Liverpool's attack was intimidated by AC Milan.
"Diego Godin is a player I haven't heard of much before, but I think he has the potential to develop into a first-class defender, a little more physical, a little more experienced, enough to sit as a first-choice centre-back at Liverpool."
"Nesta, beautiful! Otto clears! β
Watching the game, it becomes an introduction meeting where the commentator introduces the defensive skills of each defender.
Liverpool fans watching the game, although they were worried about the fact that the team had not yet scored, were also happy with Diego's discovery.
When Diego assisted a few times before, fans also initiated discussions, but as a defender, it is not common to be remembered for attacking, and Diego's restriction on Inzaghi throughout the first half is obviously taking off.
At half-time, the players walked to the dressing room, and Gerrard patted Diego with a smile: "Good performance, pay attention to the connection between Cassano and Inzaghi in the second half, as long as they don't connect, we will be fine here." β
Diego looked back at Gerald with a puzzled expression, and Reina, who was next to him, quickly translated it.
Gerard haha: "Diego, you still have to practice your English level, otherwise how will you communicate in the future." β
When a player comes to a team, most of the players, especially the key players of the team, are welcomed, but it's all verbal.
Wait until a player really proves that he is useful to the team before he is really accommodated.
Diego, for the first time, felt like he was being included in the team.
This season, Liverpool has a lot of new players, so Diego has not been too integrated into the team before, and he has not been ostracized.
Most of the time, there are group activities, and Diego participates in them, but what is the use of not performing well, no matter how many group activities he participates in, no matter how good the personal relationship with the players is.
Friends in private, and teammates on the field, it sounds more difficult to be friends, but in fact, you are in a team, there are only more than 20 teammates, but each of them, there will be dozens or hundreds of friends, and now communication is so convenient, the world is so small, and it is common to have hundreds of friends.
At this moment, Diego knew that he had established himself, at least without worrying about being sold at a low price next season.
In the past few seasons, Liverpool has not brought in players, and in the last five seasons, Liverpool has bought and sent away players, only worth more than five million pounds, there are seven.
The atmosphere in the locker room is not solemn, and there are people talking and laughing.
Towards the end of the hour, Dalglish walked in: "Gentlemen. β
Everyone looked up, and Dalglish smiled slightly: "Continue in the second half, stick to this style of play, scoring goals is inevitable, don't be lax on the defensive end, continue to maintain." Dalglish paused: "Diego, this is a good performance. β
With that, Dalglish turned around and walked away.
Confidence, what a player needs most, is confidence.
Some talented players, from the very beginning of their careers, have been sought after by all parties, and the most important thing is confidence.
But that's just about the attacking players.
Defensive players are the easiest to be buried, and every compliment is very important to defensive players.
After shouting the slogan, when he walked out of the goal, Wang Zhen deliberately delayed a few steps and patted Diego on the shoulder: "Carragher has a broken bone, the news has come, he has been reimbursed this season, we have to rely on you this season." Originally, I discussed with Dalglish to give you three seasons to adapt and grow, but now, you have to step up, or every championship this season will have nothing to do with us. β
Speaking in Spanish, Diego understood it perfectly, but couldn't believe what he heard: "Three seasons? I'm twenty-five...... Why ......"
Wang Zhen grinned: "Do you think the team bought you to sit on the bench?" As early as the beginning of the season, I said that you are far more powerful than you think, and more important than you think, the team will treat you as the main middle and back training, forget your previous years of career, it was all a small fight, from now on ......" Wang Zhen said, gesturing with both hands: "You have to adapt to the flash, to the boasting, to adapt to the slander of the media, to adapt to everything that a star should adapt to, believe me, you will become a world-class central defender." β
A world-class centre-back? Defenders are different from other positions, experience is very important, and many players are late bloomers.
Only then did Diego know that in the hearts of the team, he was positioned like this.
What does Assassin Chronicles say? When a countryman meets me, I should repay him as a countryman. Diego didn't know this, but he was in such a mood.
