Chapter 975: Defending Chen Yu
During the adaptation training, although the Porto club did not cause any trouble for Liverpool, the Porto fans have been heckling and booing in the stands, affecting Liverpool's training, but the Liverpool players have experienced a lot of this kind of scene and have a strong ability to resist pressure, and they trained for two hours in the boos of the Porto fans before leaving.

In an interview with reporters, Chen Yu also joked: "The fans of Porto let us adapt to the atmosphere of the Dragon Stadium in advance, and they are noisy, so that we can play normally tomorrow." ”
After the training session, the players shared dinner together in the hotel, and Bennett called Chen Yu and Steven Gerrard to his side to exchange their views on tomorrow's game against Porto.
"Chen, I don't think you're in the best condition in training." Benitez asked with concern. "Is it the reason for the ban, I am in a bad mood."
Gerrard said: "No, the Super Cup is still playing so well. ”
Chen Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, I am inexplicably impatient, maybe it will be better after playing." ”
Gerald was straightforward and fast-talking, and his relationship with Chen Yu was good, so he couldn't help but say, "It won't be Kayla." Knightley's reason. ”
Chen Yu smiled indifferently and said, "You can contact anything, and it may be the reason why you lost the game yesterday." ”
Benitez saw that Chen Yu was reluctant to talk about this topic, and he didn't ask more, stars like Chen Yu have a strong ability to self-regulate, just like the last time the media reported Chen Yu's emotional crisis, the impact on Chen Yu was just a game, as long as he could play a good game and score goals, Benitez would not care about Chen Yu's personal problems.
"Tomorrow's game against Porto is not expected to be easy, their skills are very good, they seem to have a strong ambition for this game, they should not just want to get a point."
Gerrard also found that Porto's current formation does not look like a soft face, similar to their play against giants such as Manchester United and Barcelona, and it seems that Porto is putting themselves in the same position as Liverpool.
"Porto are regulars in the Champions League, the round of 16 is not their goal, I think they should be aiming for the quarter-finals, so if you want to get that, they have to fight us for the top spot in the group, so the home game against us is important for Porto," Benitez said. ”
Chen Yu said domineeringly: "As long as we don't lose away, there shouldn't be much chance of returning to Anfield Porto, but I think it's best to win in Porto, so that they can die and win the first place in the group." ”
Gerrard said: "That being said, the Portuguese team is really difficult to play, they play very fluidly, they pass and receive the ball very quickly, and our strongest physical advantage seems to be of little use. ”
Benitez said: "The Dragons are big and it's not easy to press, so we still focus on shrinking, suppressing the opponent's space and then playing a quick counter-attack, so we have a good chance of winning. ”
Gerrard said: "Our strength and fame are much stronger than Porto, if we shrink, I am afraid that the face will not be so good-looking, as if we also have thousands of fans in this game, the media said. ”
Benitez frowned and didn't speak, this is indeed a problem, if it was the year before last, the away side is a defensive counterattack, but now it is the double champion of the Champions League and the league, and it is too cheap to play so conservatively, but there is not much chance of winning against Porto away from home, this is actually a problem that the Liverpool coaching staff has been struggling with, so in the pre-game training, Liverpool has been studying two tactics, one is defensive counterattack, which is used when leading, and the other is the tactics of flying on both wings on the side and inserting in the back row of the middleAnd until now, Benitez has not decided which tactics to use.
While Benitez is having a headache about how to play the first game of the Champions League group stage, Porto coach Patrick Ferreira is also racking his brains about how to play the first Champions League group game with Liverpool.
The 62-year-old Jesuado? Ferreira, who has been a coach since 1981, has an extensive coaching resume, but when he took charge of FC Porto in the summer of 2006, not many were optimistic about his prospects, after all, his experience in small teams such as Braga was not very relevant. His predecessors in Porto also seem to be living under the aura of "madman" Mourinho, whether it is Del Neri, Victor? Neither Fernandes, Nor Marc Coseiro nor Adrianse have been able to give Porto a consistent performance. Ferreira's arrival changed everything, as he won the Portuguese Super League title and reached the last 16 of the Champions League in his first season, and he was named Portugal's best manager in his first year in charge.
Portuguese fans hope that the local coach Ferreira, who has mastered the essence of the "433" tactic, can take over from Carlos in the future and bring the stormy Portuguese team out of trouble and back on track, but this season Ferreira has chosen to continue to coach Porto. Now under the management of Pacos Ferreira, although Porto are not the best team, there is no doubt that they are the most "cost-effective" team, and the players in the team are not very famous, but they are very technical and very practical.
If you face other giants, maybe Ferreira will not be so painful, but Liverpool is different, this is a giant team that started by defending and counterattacking, if there is no Chen Yu, with Porto's delicate technology, coupled with home advantage, Ferreira thinks that the winning chance is not small, by the way, Ferreira just wants to win, not satisfied with getting a point at home, because Porto has reached the round of 16 last season, and won the Champions League in 0304, and the round of 16 is no longer attractive to Porto, Now Porto want to go one step further, they have to fight for the top spot in the group, so that they can meet a weaker opponent when they are 16 to 8.
In the absence of Chen Yu, although Liverpool can also be a headache for the Latin faction in Europe, but that is Liverpool puts itself in the position of the weak, shrinks the defense, quickly counterattacks, and really fights, Liverpool is slightly inferior to Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea Manchester United, Milan These giants are still slightly inferior, but after Liverpool has Chen Yu, it is completely like a tiger, while the defense is stable, the ability to grasp opportunities has been doubled, and Chen Yu is not an opportunistic striker, he can score a lot of goals that are not opportunities, His personal ability can be called the top three in the world, and with him, Liverpool is no longer a weak giant, but has become the king of the giants.
It is certain that such a team is difficult to play, and it is even more difficult to win, but it is not that there is no chance at all, Liverpool's big problem now is that the central defender Hyypia has just returned from injury, and Hyypia's age is 34 years old, usually playing substitutes in the league, and now there is no one at the center back, he is on top, as long as Porto can stare at him this onslaught, it cannot be said that there is no chance to win, and the other point is that Liverpool's body is strong, but the technique is average, If Liverpool's body can be restrained with technique, or if the referee's penalty scale is more severe, Porto can also dominate the field.
said a thousand and ten thousand, Liverpool is stronger, and Porto also has a chance, but if Chen Yu can't be prevented and Chen Yu is easily scored, this game will not be easy to play.
It is impossible to completely prevent Chen Yu, there is no need to have any illusions about this, countless strong teams have proved this, Chen Yu once made a bold promise to average one goal per game, so far, he has not broken his promise, although it is impossible to prevent death, but restricting Chen Yu can still do it, that is, someone is staring at Chen Yu at any time and harassing Chen Yu, so that he can't burst out with the greatest energy, but whether Chen Yu will score or not, how many goals can he score, this Ferreira is not sure at all, can only look at the on-the-spot performance of his own players and Chen Yu.
In training, Ferreira focused on practicing Chen Yu's defense, not that Chen Yu was prevented from Liverpool, but Porto and the Premier League team have fought a lot, and they have a lot of experience in how to play the Premier League team, but they have no experience in how to play Chen Yu, and Chen Yu is Liverpool's strongest point.
After training, Ferreira also emphasized at the press conference that the key to this group stage is the defense of Chen Yu, "This is the most important game of our entire group stage, if we can win, the next game will be easy to play, if we can't win, lose or draw, then there is no hope of winning the group, it can only be Liverpool's, Liverpool's strength is stronger than us, but we also have our own characteristics, if we can play our own advantages, it is not impossible to win, The most important thing is the defense of Chen Yu, Chen Yu is the key figure in Liverpool's goal, prevent him, our game will be easy to play, we can't prevent Chen Yu, all tactics are in vain. ”
The Portuguese media also regarded Chen Yu as the biggest obstacle to Porto's game, and the "Record" commented in the preview of the Champions League group stage: "Porto and Liverpool are both teams that play as a whole, one is heavy on technology, one is heavy on body, and Liverpool is stronger in terms of strength, in the entire Group A, only we can drink Liverpool to fight for the first place in the group, if we want to break through the round of 16 last season, we must strive to win the first, the biggest obstacle in front of Porto is Liverpool's Chinese killer Chen Yu, he is a superstar, It is possible to decide the outcome of a game alone, if Porto can't limit Chen Yu's play, it will not be easy for the home team to even want to win a point. ”
Portugal's "Ball" also regarded Chen Yu as the number one enemy, "Liverpool is not the most terrible, Liverpool with Chen Yu is the most terrible, we have always had a way to Premier League teams, including Liverpool, in Portugal has not been pleased, but today's Porto is a new situation, Liverpool's Chen Yu is a very terrible killer, he has the ability to single-handedly pick up the opponent and a line of defense, and it is not like a human being in an all-round way, there are almost no shortcomings." ”
However, "Ball" also offered advice to Porto, believing that although Porto could not prevent Chen Yu at the technical level, it could use non-technical means to restrict Chen Yu, for example, in the English Premier League, Chelsea used fouls and killings to successfully limit Chen Yu, and let Chen Yu be banned for four games.
The newspaper's depraving move was even endorsed by Portuguese television, and in a football show about the Champions League, the host openly supported the Porto players to use lethal tactics against Chen Yu, provoking and provoking Chen Yu.
Not only Chinese fans, but also non-fans have protested, saying that players like Chen Yu must be protected, he is the wealth of Chinese football and even world football, if he is injured, it is a loss for fans all over the world, and if Portugal really adopts such killing tactics, it will attract the spurning of fans all over the world.
The English media also expressed dissatisfaction with the Portuguese media, and the "Guardian" angrily replied: "The Ball is also a media with European influence, it is very irresponsible and shameful to encourage players to adopt lethal tactics in this way, Chen Yu is the symbol and symbol of the Premier League, he is likely to win this season's World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, UEFA must protect him, let some football butchers kill Chen Yu, this is a crime, think about Van Basten's tragedy, Hopefully, Chen Yu won't be the second Van Basten. ”
The British "Times" also criticized the Portuguese media, "It seems that Mourinho's tactics against Chen Yu have roots, Portugal is also one of the representatives of the Latin faction in the European competition, you have been accusing the Premier League of barbarism, but now you are ready to use more brutal tactics to treat the Premier League team, are you slapping yourself in the face?" Football is not that you can't foul, you can foul, but you can't hurt, I hope the players in Porto can be gentlemen, I hope UEFA tells their referees, be strict, to prevent this from happening. ”
The Chinese team has just been joined by Chen Yu, and seeing the Portuguese media call for killing tactics against Chen Yu, the sports edition of Sports Weekly, Football Newspaper, and even the sports edition of People's Daily have severely criticized the behavior of the Portuguese media, believing that it is a murder of football, and allowing this behavior to spread will set football back ten years, and called on UEFA to strengthen the protection of stars.
China's sports media originally had no influence in Europe, but this time it was unexpectedly quoted by the British media and French media, and also received a response from Chinese fans on the Internet.
