The atmosphere in the away dressing room was dreary. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Benitez sat in his most common position without a smile on his face.

After half-time, there was no lead in the scoreline, which could not be considered a successful half for Liverpool.

In terms of each other's records, in terms of strength, and in terms of fame, Liverpool need to lead by at least one goal to say the past, and the 0:0 score can only make Aston Villa's players more confident in the second half.

The atmosphere grew more and more oppressive, and at this point, Benitez spoke.

"Played well in the first half......"

The Liverpool players in the dressing room couldn't help but pout when they heard this, you played well, your face is almost longer than a donkey, what will it be like if you play badly?

Benitez didn't look at the player's expression at all and continued: "...... Pennant and Arbeloa did a good job of breaking through and assisting on the wings, echoing the central players, and Reiser and Finnan were a little timid when it came to assisting, you may be afraid of the pace of the opponent's counter-attack and pay more attention to the safety of your own defensive area, which is a big reason why we always looked a little bit worse off in the first half...... The other thing is that we weren't calm enough to take our chances, and we had a chance to break through Villa's goal at the last minute......"

Rafael Benitez briefly commented on the performance of his players in the first half, and then went straight to Pennant.

"Jermaine, you were too emotionally affected today and there were some options that you could have done better, like the 30th second when you cut inside into the box and the 30th minute when you forced a shot from the edge of the box......

Benitez picked up the notebook and counted the mistakes Pennant made in those 45 minutes.

Pennant is one of Liverpool's two thorns, now that Bellamy has transferred, Liverpool's thorn is the only one left, Benitez's words are already mild, but Pennant still can't stand it, although he did not directly confront Benitez, but still defended himself: "In fact, many times it is only after the fact that you know whether your choice is right or wrong, when I cut into the penalty area, Baoma will not dare to foul, if my shot is scored, then everything is right now." ”

Pennant said that it was no different from confronting Benitez, which annoyed Benitez, and he slammed the notebook in his hand on his seat and said, "If, everything you said is if, the fact now is that your choice is wrong." ”

Pennant almost jumped up, but was secretly grabbed by Chen Yu beside him, he couldn't jump, he didn't jump, and his momentum was gone, Pennant didn't have another seizure, just muttered a Chinese word he learned from Chen Yu in a low voice, "Hindsight." ”

Pennant was bought by Benitez himself, and he is also one of his favorite generals, Benitez still knows Pennant's temper very well, since he should not be confronted by the public, Benitez did not bother to pay attention to him, and then began to deploy the tactics of the second half.

The attack in the first half was effective, but the effect was not as good as expected, and the only three chances to score, two of which were due to the opponent's own mistakes, Benitez was not satisfied with this attack, and he had to fine-tune his pre-match tactics according to the actual situation.

"Although we have two strikers, but the opponent because of the shrinkage of the defense, the middle of the crowded, Chen and Kuyt have not been able to play much role, in the second half we must make full use of the width of the front, the striker can pull the edge, the forward must often cut inside, the two full-backs assist a little bolder, the midfielder Alonso must focus on the defense, Steve attack and defense must take care of the ......"

Benitez did not make substitution adjustments, but put forward higher requirements for the assists of wide players, in order to ensure stability at the back, Alonso was locked in the back, judging from the situation in the first half, Benitez's tactical adjustments are still very targeted.

At the moment, the atmosphere in the home team's dressing room is a little more relaxed than the visitors' dressing room.

Aston Villa played passively in the first half and didn't look good at their home stadium, but they didn't give their opponents many chances, and the most important thing was that the result was good, with a 0-0 score at half-time to meet the expectations of the Aston Villa boss before the game.

Since the game was played in the way O'Neill expected, O'Neill didn't have much need to change, but O'Neill pointed out some details that appeared in the game to every player and criticized them harshly.

Finally, O'Neill reiterated the tactical arrangement for the second half, asking all players to keep in mind and not act arbitrarily, "The first 20 minutes of the second half are still based on defense, supplemented by counterattacks, and after 20 minutes, if the score is still 0:0, we must gradually increase the strength of the counterattack, at that time, Liverpool must be physically exhausted, irritable, mentally exhausted, as long as we can seize the opportunity to counterattack, we have a great chance of winning; If we concede the goal first and the opponent shrinks, then we can only attack, no matter what the result of the attack is, if the opponent still attacks after taking the lead, we still continue the tactics of defending and counterattacking, just increase the number of attackers; If we take the lead, then everything is going to be 0-0, but our focus is on defending......"

O'Neill is worthy of being the best of the young coaches, and his tactical arrangements are very meticulous, allowing players to prepare in advance for whatever happens on the field, which is why O'Neill can become a Premier League manager.

The half-time break was short and the players had not fully recovered before the game resumed.

The second half is the time when the winner is really decided, with 45 minutes of trial and competition in the first half, the two sides have already understood the bottom of the second half, and both offense and defense have let go.

After the start of the second half, Chen Yu, who was watched to death in the first half, became active.

The main reason why Chen Yu is active is that his position is much more flexible than the first half, in the first half Chen Yu is mainly in the position of the center forward, surrounded by Aston Villa, whether Chen Yu is grabbing points, taking the ball, or cutting without the ball, will be tracked and interfered by Aston Villa players, and now, Chen Yu's position is not fixed in the position of the center, he suddenly ran to the side to switch positions with the fullback, and suddenly retreated to the midfield, giving up the position of the center forward to Kuyt, This change makes Aston Villa's players scratch their heads, and it is difficult to keep up, because it is impossible for the central defender to follow to the side, and the position of the central defender is extremely important, not everyone can replace it, so it is easy to be broken through by the opponent in the middle, and there is a lot of space on the side, even if you want to follow, you may not be able to follow Chen Yu.

Chen Yu has the ability to bind stars, and his ball skills are unpredictable, so it is extremely dangerous to let him move freely.

In the 49th minute of the game, Chen Yu just swam from the middle to the side, and Arbelloa passed the ball, and after the pass, Arberoa also took the initiative to cut to the middle, filling the space for Chen Yu to leave, and answering Chen Yu.

Behind Chen Yu and Arbeloa, Liverpool's right-back Finnan was also inserted as fast as possible, forming a triangular attacking combination with Chen Yu and Arbeloa.

Finnan is more stable than Reese, although the coach asked him to strengthen the assist, but as a fullback, he has always put the task of defense in the first place, and the assist in the second, but after Chen Yu came to the side, Finnan immediately changed his mind and no longer considered the backline, because he knew that the ball was very stable here in Chen Yu, much more stable than everyone, and generally unless an attack was completed, it was difficult for the opponent to snatch the ball back.

Finnan's coming up allowed Chen Yu to have support and pass points on the inside and behind, which made Chen Yu more confident in holding the ball, and when facing the defense of fullback Gardner, Chen Yu continued to sway, and when Gardner was about to stretch out his foot to steal, he directly pierced his crotch.

Gardner knew that Chen Yu's speed was fast, so he retreated very much, and he was already very close to the bottom line, he felt that it was difficult for Chen Yu to break through from behind him, but he didn't expect Chen Yu to be bold, and he also played tricks in a small space, pierced his crotch, and wiped it from behind him.

Chen Yu's crotch was unexpected, and the action was so fast that it was difficult to react, Gardner hadn't reacted yet, Chen Yu had already passed, and it was too late to foul.

Seeing the Aston Villa fans in the stands here, they were stunned and speechless.

"Good! Monkey tricks! ”

"Beautiful!"

Liverpool fans shouted excitedly, they have been waiting to see Chen Yu's performance, many people have been looking forward to watching Chen Yu's games since the end of last season, Chen Yu did not show much of his personal ability in the first half, which made Liverpool fans a little depressed, and now after Chen Yu easily played Gardner, the adrenaline of Liverpool fans was immediately stimulated.

The commentator at the scene couldn't help but sigh: "Chen Yu is Chen Yu, in such a small space, he actually wears a crotch, this measure is so good, he really deserves to be a cow who may want to win the World Footballer!" ”

Aston Villa coach O'Neill, who has been calm on the sidelines, also clenched his fists nervously at this time, what he was most worried about was that Liverpool's ace scorer Chen Yu was active, and he also made the most detailed arrangements before the game, and the first half was a successful freeze for Chen Yu, but in the second half Chen Yu still began to exert his power, for a superstar like Chen Yu, O'Neill knows that there is no way to limit them for 90 minutes, if there is, then they will not become superstars, Now O'Neill can only pray that Chen Yu's performance will not be as magical as last season, and leave a little way for his team to live.
