"Van Bommel gave the ball to Messi, Carragher was very ferocious, Carragher broke the ball! It was Messi's third goal conceded against Carragher in this game. Messi looked a little overwhelmed. ”

Benitez used Carragher as a right-back in this game. Speaking of which, Carragher is not a qualified right-back, or rather a qualified full-back. When he was a full-back in the Premier League, Liverpool's wide flanks were attacked many times.

Like Arsenal's Pire, Cristiano. Ronaldo and Ljungberg, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs and Joaquin, Chelsea's Arjen Robben, Duff and Joe Cole – these people didn't have any problems breaking through Carragher on the flanks. Carragher was embarrassed by them.

Especially Robben and Cristiano. Ronaldo, their characteristic breakthrough Carragher is almost a dozen accurate. Liverpool's right side has always been a weakness, and both Carragher and Finnan are weaknesses in Liverpool's strong team. Therefore, Benitez generally uses a right midfielder who can go up and down on the right side, as well as a midfielder to protect.

After the starting line-up came out, Hiddink wanted Messi to break through Carragher. In Hiddink's analysis, Messi should be able to play Carragher with ease. It's a pity that after the start of the game, it completely deviated from Hiddink's expectations, and Messi completely lost his original performance with Lyon and Milan in the face of Carragher.

'Young Messi was out of form today. Messi, who is still 18 years old, is PSV Eindhoven's biggest discovery this season. PSV Eindhoven can reach the Champions League final, and Messi, who has come out of nowhere this season, has made a big contribution. They did well in both the quarter-finals and the semi-finals. But perhaps the pressure of the Champions League final was too great, and the young Messi was not as casual as in the semi-final. ”

Messi is also confused. In the face of Carragher, who is not very famous, he is always unable to break through. This is not only the case with Messi, but also with Afelai in the middle. In Gilberto. Silva's defence was unable to hold the ball at all.

In fact, it is not that Liverpool's defense is better than Milan's. When it comes to defensive prowess, Italian players and Italian clubs are far better than Premier League clubs and English players. But they defended in a completely different way.

Just like the Italian players and the Spanish players, they rarely make reckless mistakes when defending. They seldom play blindly, and they don't play when they don't have the chance. They waited, kept waiting for the opportunity. They're going to block your runs, your passes, they're going to follow you all the time. But it won't rush to grab it.

But England players are different. A lot of their defense is too fierce. While many England defenders have good tackling ability, it is precisely because they are so fast that it is easy to be beaten by some experienced players. A player of Pire's type is very comfortable defending against English players. As long as you stretch your feet, Pire has a way to get past them.

Carragher was like that in the Premier League. Because the top grab was too fierce, it was easily broken through by many Premier League attackers on the left. If you play centre-back and have a defender who is good at filling in the position, then it's a good partner. But on the flanks he has always been a full-back who has been broken through. But Messi is not the same as Pire, this season is just starting to make a name for himself in the Eredivisie. Messi and Afelai have experienced too little, and the most they have seen is the defense of the Eredivisie.

Messi's biggest characteristic is his sudden outburst. Then you can change direction constantly in a small space. The defense of the Italian and French teams. It's all the kind of defense that strikes backwards. Therefore, it gave Messi, who had just debuted, more opportunities to play.

But when did Messi see the English team. Like Carragher. It's just that the ability to grab is very strong. He doesn't care if he can grab the ball or not, he goes up and goes straight to his feet. Whether it touched the ball or kicked someone, Carragher didn't care at all. But it's this recklessness. On the contrary, Messi was very uncomfortable. Messi had just won the ball and was not ready to pass people, so Carragher came up and kicked directly.

"Look, Leo is too young. In fact, Carragher is okay as a central defender, but there are a lot of holes as a full-back. With a little experience, Leo could easily get past Carragher. ”

Rist shook his head. On the other hand, he gritted his teeth, Carragher, you bastard, don't break your own baby. Messi is only starting his career now, and a little setback is a must. But he can't be physically harmed, and he is not yet eighteen years old at a time. Hurt. Lister didn't know where to cry.

"Carragher is the type of full-back that attacking players like the most. It's a pity that Messi is too inexperienced. ”

Carvajal is a veteran agent, and he immediately understands Messi's problems. Messi's problem now is not a question of strength, it is completely a problem of experience. I have never been exposed to this style of play by English players.

Both of Rist's and Carvajal's agents were discovered, and Hiddink below certainly found out. Hiddink suddenly had some regrets. He may have believed too much in Messi's talent. Although Messi's talent is outstanding, he is not yet eighteen years old after all, and he is too inexperienced. But before Hiddink could react, the situation on the field changed dramatically.

"Afelai, Alonso hit Afelai...... The ball is not foul because Messi's pass is a bit soft. This is a ball that both sides have chances. Afelai's body is not bad, but he didn't expect to be Alonso's opponent at all. ”

Alonso has been in the Premier League for two years and is no longer a purely Spanish player. Many Spanish players are not comfortable in the Premier League, but Alonso has no problem at all. Alonso is now becoming more and more Premier League in the Premier League. This is the case with this snatch of the ball, and he directly knocked down Afelai with his physical confrontation.

Afelai has been playing in the Eredivisie for a year and has never played such a fierce game as today. It didn't take long for the game to start before Afelai felt tired. Liverpool's players are simply too brute, that's what Afellai thinks. Playing against Milan, Afelai didn't feel as tired as he did today. Because the Liverpool players are completely different from the Milan players, they rush straight at you before you adjust. Afelai's style of play in the Eredivisie was simply not adapted to the game under the onslaught of Liverpool's players.

"Alonso, long pass!"

Although Benitez is a La Liga, he is a manager from Real Madrid. However, he is very capable of learning tactically, and when he was at Real Madrid, he learned the traditional Spanish style of playing on the wing. And after he walked out of Real Madrid, because of the counterattack tactics of the small team at that time, Cooper and Ranieri were representatives. At that time, the defensive tactics led by Cooper and Ranieri were rampant in La Liga, so Benitez also learned defense from them.

Later, Benitez came to Liverpool, and he didn't stick to the tactics of the past. Instead, they actively learn the English team's style of play and incorporate it into their own tactics.

The most common style of play in English clubs is to play long balls. In particular, clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League play this tactic. Rafael Benitez's Liverpool also have such characteristics. Alonso took the ball and immediately made a long pass to Jankoller in front. Jankole beat Bouma and gave the ball to Luis on the right. Garcia.

This is the most typical English style of play. There is a centre-forward in front of him whose job is to receive the ball and play it to the two wings. A lot of the bottom teams in the Premier League play as simple as that. Liverpool played PSV Eindhoven with such a simple tactic.

"Louis. Garcia, handed the ball to Gerrard. Gerrard, direct pass! ”

Louis. Garcia didn't make a move down the flank, instead giving the ball to Steven Gerrard in the middle. There are very few players in front of Kocu who can take the ball with their backs and then be able to break through Kocu. Because Cocu's defensive ability and defensive awareness are very strong. But when it comes to face-to-face, Coku also has a lot of shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage is that Koku is old and his physical function has declined a lot.

If it is a face-to-face breakthrough, Kocu is very dislike explosive players like Kaka and Gerrard. Gerald rushed up to pick up Louis this time. Garcia's ball, Cocu and Alex in the back were all very nervous. Because everyone in European football knows that Gerrard's strongest thing is his impact. In any game, if you let him rush up and give him a chance to convince a long-range shot, then the goal will be very dangerous. Therefore, Cocu immediately wanted to stick it up, and Alex also stepped forward to block Gerrard's shot.

However, Gerrard was full of stance, but he did not rush up the moment he received the ball, and he did not shoot directly. Instead, it was a direct pass, passed through the middle of Alex and Grigra. It's still Gerrard-style passing, fast and close to the ground.

"Eto'o, Eto'o interjected."

Samuel Eto'o played on the left flank, attacking and defending and dropping back to help Reese. Gerrard's pass was between Alex and Griguera, and it was Samuel Eto'o who accelerated in from Griguera's side.

"Alex, Alex's place is empty. Eto'o, Eto'o, it's a one-on-one ...... Eto'o, shoot! ”

“al！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"Eto'o, Eto'o. It was Samuel Eto'o's first Champions League final and he scored the opener in his first Champions League final. ”

"One to zero, one to zero. Liverpool have reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive season, and if they win the Champions League again this season, Liverpool will become the first club to win the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured. ”

In a few clicks, Liverpool's counter-attack was completely different from that at Valencia. At Valencia, Liverpool's counter-attack was more on the wings. After arriving at Liverpool, there are a lot more ways in England.
