Benitez's thoughts, Wan Sheng can still understand, the previous game has proved that it is unwise for Liverpool and Derby County to play against each other, because they do not have much advantage in scrambling, even if they have a Gerrard in the midfield, but only Gerrard, in other positions, Derby County is not much worse than Liverpool, coupled with the relationship between physical fitness and tactics, playing against Derby County is not weaker than Liverpool.

Perhaps a more important point is that Liverpool's forward line is weak, after Cisse's injury, it is difficult for Liverpool to come up with a threatening attacking combination, Pongele, Barosh and others, there is a little reputation, but in the Premier League, the table is very average, and it cannot be compared with Derby County's forward line led by Kluivert and supported by Van der Vaart and Morris.

So after seeing Liverpool equalize, Benitez decisively let the team retreat, began to defend solidly, and played a defensive counterattack.

Counter-attacking is Benitez's signature.

In fact, he, like Mourinho, is a coach who pays great attention to defense, indeed, now football defense can better win the victory, Wan Sheng also understands this truth, but this is Anfield Stadium, Liverpool people's territory, Wan Sheng admires Benitez is like this at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool is facing Derby County retreat defense, is this style of play really good?

Isn't this Spaniard not afraid of the displeasure of Liverpool fans?

Or does he think that victory is the most important thing, as long as he wins, * any dissatisfaction will disappear, and it makes sense to think so, but the Spaniard thinks that Derby County should say that he will give him a chance?

How naïve!

You all play like this at your home stadium, that old man is still afraid of a fart!

Derby County is not afraid of not being able to win, you know, Lao Tzu's team is ranked third in the league, and now it is an away challenge to Liverpool, it is not necessary to pursue a win at all, and a draw is completely acceptable.

So

It was not long before Benitez adjusted his tactics. Wan Sheng also walked to the sidelines and made a gesture of shrinking his arms to the players, the meaning of this action is obviously to ask the team to shrink the formation and start to play defensive counterattacks, the players on the field understand the meaning, and then Derby County quickly shrinks the formation, which is really much faster than Liverpool's adjustment tactics.

So the rest of the game became boring.

Liverpool have no intention of pressing the attack at all, the number of players who come up in each attack is not very large, and the same is true for Derby County, there are not many players pressing on the frontal attack at all. Most of them watched from the back, so the football was going up and down in the midfield, and the players fought hard, but the football didn't pose a threat to both teams' goals.

The game became very tedious.

"We were expecting a good fight, but before the first half was over, it was lethargic"

"Liverpool didn't show their dominance at Anfield at all, and the visiting Derby County didn't play their beautiful attacking football, so it seemed that both managers were serious about the game. They're more about letting the team do the defense. ”

Here's what the game commentator said.

He didn't even bother to explain whose feet the football had gone to, because it didn't make any sense at all, the football was always near the halfway line, and it couldn't hit the penalty area of the two teams at all. The battle between the two sides in midfield is fierce, but in this case, it seems that it doesn't matter which team the football is at their feet, because they won't have more players pressing to get involved in the attack. Football doesn't pose a threat to both teams' goals either, and the best thing to do is a long-range shot that doesn't threaten.

It was in this situation that the first half of the game was quickly over.

Benitez was a bit surprised by the situation. He doesn't know much about Wan Sheng, only that the head coach from China is very young, and he has led the team very well, and more importantly, he can also make Derby County play wonderful attacking football, in short, this is a very capable young man.

But young people should be arrogant!

Even if he challenged Liverpool away, Liverpool's results were not as good as Derby County, and he took the initiative to let the team shrink the defensive line in order to play defensive counterattacks. Aren't Derby County good at attacking? Then leave space for you to attack, and then we can play the defensive counterattack steadily, and this is also the best way for Liverpool, Benitez always believes that defense is more important than attack, not to mention, Liverpool's strength is still better than Derby.

But what he didn't expect was that Derby County also quickly shrank their defence.

As a result, the current situation is that the two sides are not up and down in the situation, but the pressure is on Liverpool's side, just because this is Anfield Stadium!

Under the attention of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, the game has been like this'not positive', which will definitely make the fans dissatisfied, Benitez did not expect that the game at his home stadium dragged the team back, if the game continues like this, he has eighty percent certainty that the team can at least get a draw, facing the third in the league, Derby County, which is in very good condition, 1 point is actually okay, if Derby County wants to win and attack, then three points are also very possible.

But it will definitely not work if it continues like this, if you get a point passively like this, in terms of fans and media, Liverpool will face much more pressure than Derby County.

So at halftime, Benitez was a little hesitant, and in the end he sighed and decided to strengthen the attack, but the defense is still the most important, so this strengthening method needs to be considered, and he chose to make a substitution.

He put Luis Garcia on the pitch.

Although Catalan Luis Garcia came from Barcelona's youth team, it was Tenarife in La Liga who really made him famous in football. In the 2000/01 season, Tenarife reached the first division under Benitez, and Luis Garcia played 40 games and scored 16 goals, handing in his first career score.

Benitez then accepted an offer from Valencia, while Luis Garcia returned to Barcelona after two seasons at Valladolid and Atletico Madrid.

Rijkaard's transformation of him was not a success, and he never found his groove on the right flank, scoring just four goals in a season, when Benitez, who took over Liverpool, called and Luis Garcia arrived in England for 9 million euros.

In the first few rounds of the league, Luis Garcia did not find his senses, and he did not have a solid main position because of this, but his skills are still worthy of recognition. Whether it is speed, dribbling or passing, Garcia is very good, especially in dribbling, Garcia is very outstanding, although more people think that it is 'fist and legs', because Garcia often concedes the ball when showing footwork in the game, but at this moment, when the two teams are deadlocked, Garcia is perfect to play, because they are not afraid of Garcia conceding the ball. If Garcia can make a couple of good performances, he may be able to help Liverpool score as well.

Liverpool made a substitution at the start of the second half, with Luis Garcia coming on.

When Garcia played, there were still many Liverpool fans who applauded, although Garcia did not even have a stable main position in Liverpool, his superb footwork still won the hearts of many fans.

"Liverpool have been replaced by Luis Garcia!" Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said: "It's clear that Liverpool are going to step up their attacking and Garcia is a player who is very attack-oriented. We can expect Liverpool to play on the left! ”

Wan Sheng saw Luis Garcia play, but he didn't think Benitez would give up on letting go and go to attack aggressively, which would be very bad for Liverpool, if attacking Liverpool on the weaker side to attack. Derby County defended and Liverpool's chances of winning were too slim, and he believed Benitez could see that, so the Spaniard was almost a gambling adjustment. It's unclear whether it will work or not, but Liverpool's defense-oriented tactics remain the same.

Soon there was movement at Derby County, with Vanson replacing Kluivert with Burton-Reiter.

A striker. Replacing a striker, many people don't understand Wansheng's thoughts, and George Woodgate was surprised, "What is this substitution for?" Kluivert doesn't look like he's injured, and his front watch isn't bad."

The camera camera points to Kluivert, only to see the Dutchman walk off the pitch steadily and give Bolton-Reiter a hug, which is definitely very healthy, but what is the point of such an adjustment?

Soon there was no dwelling on this substitution.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool increased their attack, especially on the left side of Luis Garcia, which was very flexible, and the two midfielders Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso had the ball and would pass more to the left side, with the support of his teammates, Luis Garcia was like the core of the whole Liverpool, he led the whole team to launch a fierce attack on the left side, dribbling to the bottom line, and frequent crosses also tried to create a threat, but only then did the Liverpool players realize the difficulty of the Derby County defense.

In the first half, when they focused on defense, it was difficult to appreciate this, but when they strengthened the attack, they found that Derby's defense can definitely be described as 'steady', Garcia's own dribbling is often cut off, and his passes to the middle are difficult to get to his teammates.

However, on the whole, Liverpool still suppressed Derby County a little, after all, Derby County did not increase their attack, and Liverpool's strength is slightly better than Derby County, and this is Anfield Stadium, in short, Liverpool has the advantage on the field.

But the two teams are still in a stalemate, and neither side has found a chance.

In the 70th minute of the game, Derby made another substitution, this time replacing Rafael van der Vaart with Peter Kennedy.

This substitution adjustment made many people even more incomprehensible.

Van der Vaart was replaced? Are Derby County giving up on attack altogether?

Benitez also doesn't understand, in his opinion, Van der Vaart's appearance is quite good, with Van der Vaart present, Derby's attack threat will definitely be a lot bigger, and now the opponent has replaced Van der Vaart, this is a tactical substitution, or is it just because Van der Vaart is out of fitness and other reasons?

Benitez didn't understand.

However, Van der Vaart's departure made Liverpool's players feel very good, they were still worried about the team's defense, Van der Vaart is the most threatening player to the defense, and even said that there is no one, and it is difficult for other Derby County players to have a chance, and the opponent's stupid big man, high school striker Bolton Reiter, has not done anything since he came out, so they don't worry about the opponent's attack.

So Liverpool, of course, stepped up some of their attacks.

The situation on the field has become that Liverpool completely suppressed Derby County, this suppression is very obvious, in terms of counting, Liverpool attacks twice, Derby County can only attack once, Liverpool threatens Derby County twice, Derby County can only threaten once at most, this contrast of numbers is reflected on the playing field, it is as if Liverpool has been bombarding the Derby County goal.

This situation has Liverpool fans excited.

The previous game really made them sleepy, although they still trust in the trust coach Benitez, but in the face of a promoted horse in their own stadium, they played like this, which still made them feel a little dissatisfied, and even some fans booed to express their dissatisfaction, and now Liverpool is in control of the situation, most of the time football is at the feet of Liverpool, so that Liverpool fans are happy, they are excited to cheer in the sky, excited to cheer for the team.

The reporters in the media gallery were also very happy.

There are only a handful of journalists who purely support Derby, most of them are pro-Liverpool journalists and neutral journalists, the former hoping that Liverpool can have an advantage, and a large part of the latter also supporting Liverpool, and more importantly, they also want the game to be more exciting, and now Liverpool have a huge advantage, constantly besieging the Derby County goal, which is really a good situation.

Benitez is also very happy with the current situation, although this does not guarantee that Liverpool can win, but the team has at least regained face, the situation is to suppress Derby County, so that even after the game the media can not say anything, and the result of one point, although not very satisfied, but not too bad.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines.

The camera pointed over, only to see Wan Sheng's face solemn, but the corners of his mouth turned up a smile, seeing Wan Sheng's smile, many people don't know why, but in fact, Wan Sheng is expecting the adjustment he made to work - as long as there is a chance.

Will Wansheng make adjustments that are useless?

Of course not!

He just hopes that Liverpool can attack out, and then attack out, it is best to press on the whole line, Derby County's counterattack is very sharp, he replaced Bolton Reiter is this purpose, Reiter scored a few goals in the previous game, but the table is not too prominent, but don't forget, where is Reiter's advantage, maybe his skills are not outstanding, maybe he is not more friendly than the team in terms of passing coordination, but Reiter has a very prominent characteristic, that is, the speed is fast enough!

Bolton-Reiter is the one who is in the main position with his speed.

After two years of training, coupled with LETT's potential in terms of speed, his speed evaluation value has reached as many as '95' points, which is definitely the highest in the team, plus some skill bonuses of the football training master system, LTECH can burst out of speed on the field of play, which can reach about '99' points, if you fight back, there is a 'fast rush' 5% additional speed bonus, and LTECH can really run up and burst out of '105' ability.

This number jù is definitely quite scary.

Even if Wan Sheng can't be sure how fast the speed of the '105' attribute evaluation bursts out, he can be sure that this speed can definitely be compared with those world sprinters, even Leiter's dribbling speed can definitely exceed 95 points, which is much faster than the average player running without the ball.

And now, all that Bolton Reiter lacks is a chance, and if the game continues like this, maybe the opportunity is not far off. (To be continued......) R1292
