The next day, when George came to Liverpool's training ground, he found that the head coach < + coach Thompson was discussing something on the side of the pitch, looking at the two of them with haggard looks, George understood that it seemed that the powerful Barcelona had brought a lot of pressure to the two, and the two must not have had a good rest last night.

"Hey~ good." George walked over and greeted the two of them, while staring at the tactics board in Lao Bei's hand with his eyes.

"Hey ~ Good morning George!" Thompson is always happy, will not target anyone or anything, and responds to George with a smile, which may be the biggest reason why Thompson has been an assistant coach at Liverpool for more than ten years.

Without the ability, Liverpool will naturally not let Thompson continue to stay in Liverpool, even if he has an errand, but his personality is flamboyant and his relationship is not good, I am afraid it will be difficult to work in a club for a long time.

Uh~ Think about the current Munirio, he does have the ability, Porto Miracle, Chelsea and Inter Milan have won the championship during the period, but so what, people are too arrogant, very unlikable to the boss, although Munirio does not need to please the boss, but this also means that Mourinho will not stay in a club for a long time.

"Hey~Zhi, you need to care about these at the moment, you should care about how to score goals, go and change your clothes, we are busy today." Seeing George's eyes staring at the tactical board in his hand, Lao Bei said lightly.

"Alright then!" Listening to Lao Bei's words, Joe shrugged his shoulders helplessly and turned to leave. Lao Bei's meaning is very clear, that is, you have nothing to do with the tactical arrangement, and you don't need to worry about it, you just need to do your job as a player.

After changing his clothes and changing into his training clothes, George came to the training ground again to start the warm-up preparation before the official training. Half an hour later, other Liverpool players also came to the training ground one after another, came to George's side, and did the same warm-up preparations.

"Okay, guys, I still need to congratulate the family, you have managed to play with the spirit and style of our Liverpool, even if you are not afraid to face the mighty Juventus, and what we got is a win and a promotion. I want to say that I'm really proud to be able to lead such a great team at Liverpool and to lead such a group of good players as you. ”

Seeing that the players were all there, Lao Bei and Thompson said a few words, and came to the whole Liverpool team members who were standing neatly in front of them on the side of the court, and praised loudly. Of course, Lao Bei's praise was naturally met with applause and whistles from the Liverpool players.

"Still. Counts. I would like to say. Now is not the time to celebrate. The next opponent is really strong. So we have to be ready for everything, and I believe that you will hopefully in two months' time. We can also stand in the Champions League final. ”

This time. All have a voice. Back yesterday, actually. When the Liverpool players return to their homes. Sitting and doing the same thing as George, is to check out the Barcelona profile. Although the information is not detailed. But Barcelona have shown to be so strong that everyone is taking it seriously.

You have to know the last time you played in the Champions League. Liverpool was bloodied by Real Madrid, another giant in La Liga, although it was said that it was a bitter battle with Juventus at that time. The overdraft of the physical consumption of the whole team has a lot to do with it, at least one thing can be proven. That is, Real Madrid is very strong.

Even if the whole Liverpool team is overdrawn. But if Real Madrid is not strong. Or maybe it's just a Championship level team all the time. Then Liverpool will not be bloodied by Real Madrid. On the contrary, it will be successfully promoted.

But it was the bloodbath of Liverpool and Real Madrid. In La Liga. Collision with Barcelona. It also ended in failure. Just from this point. You can see that Barcelona is strong.

Of course. Liverpool won't be afraid of Barcelona either. Hungry for the championship center of the earth. No one can stop it. And everyone knows that Lao Beidi has not finished speaking. So there was silence. Quietly waiting for Lao Bei's next words.

"Barcelona are very strong, especially in the midfield and on the wings, if we want to beat Barcelona and advance to the last four, then what we need to do is very simple, that is, to train to the death, to keep training in midfield, as long as we mess up Barcelona's midfield, we have a lot of hope."

'So, today our training is very simple, it's defending in midfield and interception, let's start now.' After taking a closer look at the expressionless players, Lao Bei said lightly.

"Alright, boys, let's get ready for training, and the main and substitutes will be ready for me right away." As soon as Lao Bei's words were finished, assistant coach Thompson came to the players' side and shouted loudly.

With Thompson's words, the main players, also wearing red vests, came to the left side of the court, and the substitute players, also wearing yellow backs, came to the right side of the court.

"Nonono~ Smitchell, you and Hamann switch places, you go to the bench." Seeing Smitchell walking to the side of the main force, Old Beckon shouted.

Looking at Lao Bei, Smitchell shook his head with a smile, high-fived each other with the German Hamann, and said lightly: "Hey~, this time I will give some face, it's not too much." ”

"That's not good, you forgot how you ravaged me before, this time I'm going to hold on to this opportunity and get revenge." Listening to Smitchell's words, Harman said with a smile

"Hey~" Hearing Haman's answer, Smitchell shook his head helplessly and walked to the side of the bench.

Thinking that when he was on the side of the main team in the past, he often relied on the strength of the main team to be far stronger than the substitute team, and often bullied Haman. Thinking of this, Smitchell knew that I was afraid that in the next game, Hamann was going to start going berserk.

'Harry, you set yourself at the front of the midfield, that is, in the midfield position, as a single midfielder. Your job is to do a good job of organising the team's attack, but of course, if you have the chance, you can also do your part as an attacking striker. ”

Lao Bei grabbed Colwell and told what he meant, and when he heard Lao Bei's order, Colwell nodded and explained what to do.

"The three of you play in a three-sided position, Dietmar in the back, Steven and Xavi, you two are one left and one right in front of Dietmar. Your task is simple, which is to intercept any ball that wants to pass through your defensive area, and while attacking, you must shoot from a distance and never enter the box, because your first task is to defend. ”

After giving Colwill an account of his own orders, Bey commanded Hamann and Gerrard and Alonso, repeatedly emphasizing defense and long-range shooting. And the three of Gerald naturally expressed their understanding.

Seeing that the three of them were clear, Lao Bei nodded and began to walk to the backcourt of the main team, ready to continue to explain the training tasks he needed to prepare. At the same time, Thompson, as the head coach of the substitute team, was explaining his requirements to the substitute players around him.

"With Smitchell as the core, you are constantly ~ passing the ball to each other in the midfield, and tearing apart the opponent's defense with short passes. Remember, it's a short pass, not our traditional long pass in England, and you don't want to be in the training ground under the lights, seeing you as usual, getting the ball and sending it forward. ”

'I have to run all the wings, I have to be involved in the attack, and I have to be active in defending Pusen, who is playing in the style of Barcelona and setting up the way the substitutes play after the training pitch starts.

Although the side that asked Thompson to make up the team was not very accustomed to short passing, he also nodded very understandingly and said that he knew what to do, and reassured Thompson.

In fact, there is no way to be a substitute, and many times, the members of the substitute team need to become the trial object of the main team. No, they are about to run into Barcelona, and the substitute team will immediately have to play according to Barcelona's style of play, so that the main team can adapt to and cope with Barcelona's style of play as soon as possible.

Although it is very unfair to the people on the bench, there is no way, the substitutes have to sacrifice for the main team, if you don't like it, then there is no way, you have to do it, unless you can train hard and strive to rely on your excellent form to impress the heart of the manager and become the main player.

"OK~~ It's time to go." Five minutes later, Lao Bei and Thompson's explanations were almost the same, seeing that the players standing on the court were ready, Lao Bei also nodded to the physical trainer who temporarily served as the referee, signaling that the game could start.

With a whistle, the physical trainer suddenly blew the whistle in his mouth, and at the same time as the whistle blew, George immediately kicked the ball to Owen on the side, and he quickly rushed towards the substitute team's penalty area.

Uh~ Remember, the training ground in the general team does not need to choose the sidelines and the right to serve, generally the main team is on the left side of the court, and it is also the first to kick off, although this is nothing, but it is also somewhat regarded as the main side is indeed better than the substitute side, no matter from any point of view.

Because the main team played three backs at once, but this was the first time after all, the game had just begun, and everyone was not very familiar with each other's cooperation, and it was difficult to attack for a while.

Not only Gerrard and others, but even Colwill, who is a single forward midfielder, has naturally been taken special care of by the substitute team because he has served as a single front midfielder, which also makes Colwill passive.

The midfielder could not deliver shells to the forward line, and George and Owen could only stand in front of the penalty area, looking at the "fierce" midfielder and shaking their heads helplessly.

On the bench side, because it has to be played in accordance with Barcelona's style of play, of course, it is also very uncomfortable, and mistakes are frequent, coupled with the main side of the three backs, although it has not shown any power in attack, but in defense, the power has indeed been shown, which also makes the two sides suddenly begin to entangle themselves in the midfield, and the forwards of both sides can be regarded as having nothing to do, standing around the opponent's penalty area, looking like watching the play.

'The ball is over there, the midfielder rushes up, Dietmar you have to trust your team-mates, what you need to do is not to help, but to pay attention to the defense and protection, and at the same time you have to pay attention to the situation around you and solve any problems in time.

Seeing that Hamann and Gerrard were rushing towards the substitutes, even Alonso had the intention of rushing over, and he was unconsciously close to the substitutes with the ball. Seeing this, Lao Bei was very dissatisfied and shouted loudly.

"Passing, damn it, how did you make you play breakthrough, what did I say before the game, I was talking about passing, constant passing, using short passes to shred the opponent's defense, didn't you hear me?"

When Lao Bei yelled at the main players, Thompson also yelled at Smitchell, who was holding the ball. Don't look at Thompson's usual gentlemanly and well-talking

When he started working, Pusen's temper was also very big.

"Dietmar, what are you running so fast, you have to know that you are a midfielder, your job is to protect behind Steven and Xavi, you must stand behind the two."

As the Liverpool midfielder broke the ball and launched a counterattack on the spot, the entire defense line suddenly pressed towards the substitute side, and Man also began to accelerate at this time, and suddenly surpassed Alonso, who started slowly. Seeing this, Lao Bei immediately shouted dissatisfied.

"Damn, what are you doing, who told you to scream and pass, what did I say, I said it, you have to cooperate with the short message, damn, you don't understand me or what's wrong."

While the main team was attacking, because Lao Bei loudly reminded and blamed Hamann, Gerrard and Alonso were also suddenly affected, and the substitute players immediately broke the ball with their feet and passed to Husky in the front court.

But the substitutes who hadn't waited for the ball were happy and immediately enjoyed Thompson's roar.

"I'm not asking you to do your best: I'm going to take out the main team, my request is simply to play this training match in Barcelona's style of play and get the main players in in place as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you score or not, you know. ”

Seeing the substitute players, sometimes they still want to attack from time to time, looking like they want to score a goal to lead the main players, Putuoshan stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly.

"What are you two stupid standing there doing, catching the ball in the front court, you two don't know how to retreat, retreat and pull the ball, if necessary, give me a counter-robbery on the spot, I would rather you don't score, but at least don't give the opponent a chance, strengthen the defense."

Seeing that the three backs he arranged after more than ten hours of play, it seemed that he had gradually begun to find a feeling, whether it was defense or cooperation with each other, they also began to be smooth, and Lao Bei suddenly nodded with satisfaction.

However, when Bey saw George and Owen standing stupidly in the front court with nothing to do, he was immediately dissatisfied and yelled loudly.

"Hey~ Listening to Du Laobei's roar, George and Owen sighed helplessly, but they didn't say anything, and immediately began to retreat, ready to retreat to get the ball, or help their teammates to fight back on the spot.

"Well done, just do it, it's good, but everyone pay attention, this is just a training ground within the team, don't play with your life, don't get hurt." Seeing that under Gerrard's interference, Hamann suddenly rushed out from behind Gerrard, cut off the ball at the feet of the substitute player with a sliding tackle, and immediately nodded with satisfaction and praised loudly. While praising him, Lao Bei was also reminding the players on the field that this was just a training match within the team, not an official game, so pay attention to your feet and don't hurt your teammates.

Half an hour later, at the signal of Lao Bei, the "referee" temporarily blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"Okay, let's take a break, and then think carefully about how to play the next game and how to cooperate appropriately." Seeing the end of the game, Lao Bei came to the sidelines and commanded the players on both sides.

Lao Bei knows very well that the training match is just the beginning for the players to start adapting, and if they really want to play a good game, they still need the players to talk to each other and express their opinions, or to determine the tasks between two or three people, so that the training can be raised.

Just like Carlos and Zidane on the left side of Real Madrid, the task and cooperation between the two are very clear, so in official games, you can often see the cooperation between Carlos and Zidane, Carlos goes down, Zidane cuts inside, Zidane goes down, and Carlos is at the top of the penalty area arc ready to shoot.

"The effect is not very obvious!" Seeing Thompson come to his side, Lao Bei sighed helplessly and said lightly.

"Hehe, it's actually nothing, after all, this is the first time, everyone is not very used to it, just continue training slowly, as the training time goes up, the quality of training will naturally go up." Thompson smiled and comforted Shelley.

"Well~ wrong, anyway, we still have a few days, although the time is not very sufficient, but it is enough. We just got the players used to the style of play against Barcelona and got them used to it. ”

"Damn, I wonder how good Barcelona's short passing will be when I meet Barcelona in a few days?" On the sidelines of the training ground, George and Owen, along with Gerrard and Colwill, were sitting here resting. Owen sighed suddenly, looking worried.

"yes!" Hearing Owen's words, George, Gerald and the others all nodded helplessly, agreeing with Owen's words.

You must know that short pass coordination generally refers to the fact that all midfielders have outstanding foot skills, and that kind of short pass coordination is called sharp. In the training match just now, although Gerrard, Hamann and Alonso's back three did a good job of defense, this was also because among the midfielders on the bench side, except for Smitchell, the rest of the players were not very good at their feet.

Thinking of the imminent face of a tough Barcelona, with Motta, Xavi and Deco as the three midfielders with excellent footwork, plus the help of two wingers Giuli and Ronaldinho. Thinking of this, George and others have to admit that when the time comes, when the time comes, the game will definitely be very difficult to play.
