Section 438 The main force that has returned
U8 Update Fastest Reading Network Before such an important game, the Liverpool captain was injured, which is really unacceptable.
This also made the media, which had already been optimistic about Liverpool before the game, change their minds again.
'In the first leg win over Juventus, Liverpool played really well. But the problem is that now Liverpool's captain is injured and the midfield doesn't have enough defensive depth. When a team is missing the most important link, what is there to say? Without enough defensive depth, they will inevitably not be able to stop Juventus' strong attack, and if Liverpool cannot stop Juventus, then Juventus only need to score a goal and the final result of the game will be decided. โ
"Do these guys really think I don't exist?" Alonso looked at the words in the newspaper and couldn't help but speak, "Stephen is injured, but I'm not back?" Do they really think that I can't replace Stephen and that it won't work? โ
"Don't say it, Stephen's role, you really can't replace it." In the team, Garcia immediately said, "You just can't replace him." His impact is so strong that I think he is still world-class. With him, plus a Joey, the opposing midfielder did not dare to press through the half. Can you? โ
"It's true that I can't play a shock role, but I still have other roles." Alonso opened his mouth, "Everyone plays differently, what's so strange that I'm different from him?" The coach will definitely create new tactics for me. โ
Alonso was right, and Liverpool did forge new tactics after his return.
"Xavi doesn't have as much impact as Stephen, so don't expect him to rush up front and help you share the pressure." Benitez explained the tactics to Zhao Yaning, "But his long passing ability is stronger than Stephen's. So, there will be more chances to get a direct pass from the back court in the frontcourt. But there is also a problem with this style of play, that is, the opponent will actively counter-attack in the frontcourt, and Xavi is likely to be suppressed. So, what I need you to do is to be in this position in front of Xavi, to take the ball, to push forward, to take the pressure off him, and at the same time, to be there for an opportunity to attack the frontcourt. โ
"So, is the front court just playing the strikers of both sides?" Zhao Yaning asked.
'Yes, Garcia and Milito will play as two strikers up front. Benitez nodded, "But don't expect them to give you any help. Their aim is to suppress the opponent's forward line and connect attacks, not to help you push forward. "What you need to do, take the ball, push forward. If the push moves, push forward, push if you can't push, but also make the opponent's backline unable to press, creating space for Alonso to pass. โ
Regarding Benitez's entrustment, Zhao Yaning also nodded and agreed.
And the rest of the team has also been told by Benitez that it is inevitable that Liverpool will change the formation in this game.
And Gerrard, who couldn't play, pulled Italy with the team, and he also came to the locker room, he was not seriously injured, and he came here to cheer everyone up.
"Don't worry, we won't lose." Regarding Gerrard's arrival, Zhao Yaning thought he was worried, "We can definitely win." โ
"To be honest, I'm not worried at all." Gerrard also opened his mouth after Benitez finished talking about tactics, "Although I can't play, Yerzi and Xavi are back. Why should I worry? Speaking of injuries, we've had a lot of injuries this season, but haven't we gotten to this point? My teammates, they are a group of real men, they are not the ones who show off their muscles, bully the weak, and call themselves the strong, they are the real strong. Their greatness is not in the body, but in the heart. โ
"Juventus, it's very strong. But my comrades-in-arms are not afraid of strong enemies. They are men, and even in the face of the most formidable enemy, they will fight to the death. Failure, it doesn't matter, I have a group of the best teammates, even if I lose, why is it difficult to fight again next year? I believe that one day, victory, will be ours! โโโ
Before the start of the second round of matchups, there was a lot of talk in the Italian media.
"The match between Liverpool and Juventus is enough to show how good Liverpool is. At their home turf, where they were dominated by sneak attacks, they were only able to score one goal. Zhao Yaning, who is regarded as a pillar by them, did nothing in the game and contributed little. Such a team is not at the same level as Juventus at all. After all, the Premier League is a place where there is no football technology, and how can it be possible to defeat technical football by relying on physical brutal football? Manchester United can beat Serie A teams, and that's what makes them magical, but to think that any team can win against a Serie A side would be a big mistake. After all, Liverpool is just a declining giant, and they and Juventus, there is nothing to compare with xรฌng. โ
The opinion of the Italian media is mostly surprisingly unanimous: the Premier League's European ability is average, except for Manchester United, other teams cannot compare with the first-class teams, and Liverpool cannot compete with Juventus at all.
Although Liverpool won 2-1 at home to Juventus, it was only the power of Anfield's terrifying home stadium that made Juventus play abnormally, which caused Juventus to fail.
"However, in addition to Manchester United over the years, isn't there only one Arsenal in the Premier League? Is it inappropriate to use Arsenal's performance to measure all Premier League teams? โ
Liverpool's players are still a little unhappy with such claims.
"What they say is just to cheer themselves up." In the locker room, Hyypia found a lot of information, "You see, they mentioned that Capello could use a back three formation in the second round to turn the tables - Capello has never played a back three in his life, how can he suddenly use a back three in this game?" As you can see from these words that they put out to confuse us, they are not very confident either. โ
"Italians always like to be clever like that. Their football is not the same as in England. Before the game, the British media will be entangled in the statements of some managers, or the private lives of players, or the contradictions of a team, but the Italian media will not say this, what they are talking about, what is always a change of formation, what temporary substitutions, what strange tactics and killer moves...... The two are not the same. The tactics reported by these media are the same nonsense as the Englishman reported that a certain star got a woman. It's just that the English see women as a pre-war influence, while the Italians see women as post-game desserts. If you don't believe me, look at the news, after Milan and Inter Milan have finished the game, it will definitely come out, and a player on the winner's side will go to a certain supermodel - either Adriano or Inzaghi, Italian football is that tradition and ethos. โ
Milito reminisced about his experience playing in Italy and spoke to everyone.
"But in this news, it is said that the Italians overturned a jวng car and burned it during the pre-race parade, and this is also their ruse?" Zhao Yaning looked up and asked in some surprise.
"Oh, that's not." Milito shook his head, "Italians, it's not surprising that they value football more than war. โ
Zhao Yaning sighed, not knowing what to say.
On the day of the match, the rosters of both sides were also announced. On the one hand, Liverpool's main goalkeeper Dudek is back to serve, on the back line, Reese, Carragher, Hyypia, and Finnan are four people as the back lineup, and in the back position, Biscayne, Alonso and Nunez are together, Zhao Yaning plays as a forward midfielder in front of them, and Morientes and Garcia are on the front line.
Juventus, on the other hand, has made a little change. In the last game, neither Zebina nor Blasi had a chance, but this time, Thuram was moved to right-back, while at centre-back, Montero and Cannavaro were the players, and the left-back was still Zambrotta. The two wings are still Camoranesi and Nedved, while Oliveira and Emerson are partners in the midfield position. Up front, Ibrahimovic and Piero continued, while Trezeguet was still on the bench despite returning from injury.
It seems that Juventus have filled all the holes in their backfield. Without the height disadvantage and the shortcomings of the right-back, the current Juventus is back to the first-class team.
And more importantly, this time, Nedved didn't play with an injury.
As soon as the game began, Nedved was given a chance to take the ball and assault. In this game, Liverpool no longer had Gerrard, and Nedved didn't care much about Biscayne's defense, and as soon as he got the ball, he cut inside with the ball and wanted to attack.
Since you can only go on the bench, don't blame me for losing to me.
But his thoughts did not work, and in front of him, the unremarkable Spaniard had blocked his way, and when he had just hesitated about how to pass the man, the man had already shoveled over!
Nedved was tackled to the ground, and just a minute into the game, a foul had already arrived.
"Hello, Nedved." Glancing at Nedved, the Spaniard on the other side smiled, "Don't think you can easily get there. Stephen is not there, but I am here, and our defense will not be easily lost. If I don't go on the bench, I'm the main force. Now, I'm back. โฯยท u(8) Update the fastest reading network
