Section 449 The Meaning of Sacrifice

U8 Update Fastest Reading Network "Go and attack Alonso, he is Liverpool's soft underbelly."

What Mourinho said to Robben was actually such a simple sentence.

The more you compete, the calmer you are, which is the basic quality of a champion coach. Mourinho is also becoming more and more calm at this time, and after falling behind, he is also thinking about how to get more opportunities.

Liverpool's Marcos Alonso is probably the biggest breaking point. Thinking about the footage of the Liverpool game that he had watched, Mourinho quickly came to a somewhat bold idea and conclusion.

Liverpool's midfield has always been a position they are proud of. Gerrard and Alonso, who are the main players, are both first-class in Europe, while substitutes Hamann and Biscayne, who have been injured and have been playing a lot this season, have also played well. When playing against Liverpool, many people will always have a big common sense problem when how to play, that is, not to challenge the strong defense of Liverpool's double midfielders. After all, Liverpool have always been top-notch in this position.

But why not?

Mourinho's head was swirling with thoughts. It's true that Marcos Alonso and Steven Gerrard are both good midfielders, but either of them is admired not because of his defensive prowess, but because of his quick transition between attack and defence, and his ability to launch a quick first attack. Steven Gerrard's forward and Alonso's long balls are hugely useful in the fast-paced Premier League, and their ability to move the team from defence to attack as quickly as possible is one of the most important reasons why they are admired by everyone.

As for the defensive ability, although the defense of both of them is not a weakness, it is not a sè midfielder like Makelele. They have the basic qualities of a midfielder, but defending like Claude Makelele is not their forte, and of course, no coach will use them that way.

Sometimes, because of a player's strength, people will always glorify all his abilities. For example, Makelele, in the media boasting, he is about to become the world's No. 1 defender, and even can't wait to say that his ball protection is world-class, his passing is world-class, and his comprehensive level is world-class. However, his problem has never been solved, and if he really has the ability to play the long ball, Chelsea will have an additional method of attacking. And if he had enough forward ability, Chelsea would not have been pinned down by Liverpool now.

And Alonso and Gerrard are the same. Many of their abilities are also boasted too strong. Compared to Benitez himself, he is very aware of this, so he always puts out a formation of double back waist and even three back waist to meet the enemy, just to make people complement each other, he is not a fool, and it is not for no reason to do this Master of Chinese MedicineRead the full text.

Alonso's ability to pass the ball as soon as he receives the ball is unique in the world, and no one can compare to it. And his one-on-one defensive ability is very strong, coupled with his active running and physical strength, and although he is a Spaniard, his nationality is Basque, with a strong character in his bones, coupled with a strong body, and he is not afraid of Premier League-level confrontation, these characteristics make this Spanish midfielder play extremely well in the Premier League and is also very popular with fans.

But he is not without his shortcomings.

Offensively, although Alonso's ability to pass the ball in the first time after receiving the ball is unique, and he also has a very good long shot, which can be said to be extremely comprehensive. But his ability to get rid of the ball on the spot is really not very strong. Benitez deployed someone else in midfield to pick him up, also to cover up this shortcoming.

Although he has many advantages in defense, he still has a big problem that cannot be repaired in these areas: his speed is too slow, and his range of motion is too small, which is his biggest problem.

This is also the biggest difference between him and Gerrard in terms of defense. Gerrard is tall, but his speed is not slow at all, even in the Premier League, a league with a lot of fast attackers, his absolute speed is also in the top ten in the Premier League, his speed ensures his range of movement, which also makes it possible to have a Biscayne to wipe his ass for his defense, he can ensure a sweep. But Alonso couldn't do such a sweep. His defense relies more on positional sense and prediction, rather than running ability, large area coverage, is not what he is good at, and one-on-one breakthrough and speed are exactly what Robben is good at, and it is possible for Robben to make a breakthrough in him.

Most importantly, Mourinho remembers a very important thing: Alonso still has a number of yellow cards. Because he missed three consecutive games in the knockout round of the Champions League, his yellow card count has been accumulated until now, and if he receives another yellow card, he will be suspended for the next game. So, at this time, will Alonso be a little hesitant defensively because of his yellow card? That's what Mourinho is looking forward to.

On the field, when Robben got the ball again, he hadn't even passed the halfway court, so he cut inside and rushed to the middle.

"Robben chose to break through in the middle!" This kind of kick made Martin Taylor exclaim, "What is he thinking." ”

It's harder to break through in the middle, that's something everyone knows. It is also unknown whether Robben will be able to play well in the middle of the lane. Liverpool's double back is not a dry meal.

However, after Robben cut in the face of Alonso, he broke through with a sharp change of direction, and although Alonso immediately turned and chased after him, he was unable to catch up.

This change makes people feel that they understand Mourinho's thoughts a little.

Do you want to use Alonso as a weakness and take advantage of his lack of speed to form a breakthrough?

At this point, what should be done is to withdraw Gerrard from the front court. If it was Gerrard, Robben would not have been able to break through the environment so easily.

But the problem is that once Gerrard withdraws, Liverpool's backfield defense will become stronger, but it will cause a tactical disjoint. Without Gerrard to attack the defense in the front, Zhao Yaning had to retreat to pick up, so that the attack would stop. And Makelle, who lost Gerrard's suppression, can advance the position, which makes Robben have a better environment to play.

Domino effect. Such a word is used to describe the confrontation between the two sides, which is very appropriate.

In Benitez's view, at this time, it is better to lose a goal than not to score. It's an away game, and one more away goal would give Liverpool a bit more advantage. Continue to attack, even if it is the worst-case scenario, the opponent scores, it becomes a 1-1 draw, but as long as there are away goals, Liverpool can be said to have the advantage in hand. And if it scores, it's 2-0, two away goals, and when it comes to home, it's basically hard for Chelsea to turn the tables. And if Liverpool shrinks the defense now, even if it holds, it will be the same 1-0 score, with little advantage, and if it can't hold, it will be chased to 1-1, although it still has an advantage, but it is not outstanding.

At this time, weighing the pros and cons, it is natural to focus on attack, lonely men and widows, please turn off the lights and read the full text.

And he insisted on not making adjustments, and the trouble became Alonso's.

One-on-one defense, he can't defend Robben. Not to mention, the new Robben is full of energy and runs aggressively, which has caused great difficulties for Alonso's defense.

However, seeing that the coach did not mean to make adjustments, Alonso also thought of Benitez's idea intelligently.

Even if Alonso is sacrificed, it will be exchanged for a greater advantage for Liverpool. Alonso can understand this approach, but this kind of sudden attack has become a possible failure factor for the team, but he is not willing to accept it.

I'm not a player to knead with you. You can bully others, but don't try to bully me. Maybe I'm not capable, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be bullied.

How to defend Robben? Alonso was also thinking about what to do at this time. Since being on a team with Zhao Yaning, he usually looks at Zhao Yaning's breakthrough, and sometimes he thinks in his heart: How to defend Zhao Yaning's breakthrough?

Usually thinking, coupled with the current situation, he immediately came up with a very out-of-the-box idea: if I can force the opponent to avoid me every time he attacks, then he will have to change his direction more, which will have a great impact on his successive passes, so that the Liverpool backline can defend successfully.

But how can Robben avoid himself? At this time, Alonso had already thought of a way, but he was still a little hesitant about this idea.

If I miss the next game, then maybe the Champions League will be over for the season. Only played two Champions League knockout games in a season, which is too little......

However, we now have a bigger advantage, and what we should think about is not how to get ourselves into the game, but how to help the team qualify. Even if you sacrifice this game, as long as Liverpool can advance, you can still enter the Champions League final. At this time, trust in teammates is the most important thing.

Alonso has never been a mother-in-law, although in the eyes of many people, a good-looking and skilled Latin player should be associated with a chic style of play, but Alonso has never been that kind of person. In his bones, he is the xìng character of the Basques, and strength is his xìng character. When it's time to compete, he definitely doesn't run away.

When Robben rushed over with the ball again, opposite him, Alonso immediately defended. Robben did not hesitate, and immediately prepared to change direction, at this time, his attack was to tear apart the opponent's defensive line.

But this time, Alonso's approach has changed. He didn't go to the card position to defend, but shoveled it at the first time.

The timing of this tackle is not good...... Robben kicked the ball out of the way and tried to dodge the tackle. But Alonso didn't have the slightest idea of regaining momentum, and slammed into Luo himself.

Robben was knocked to the ground by him, rolling on the spot. Alonso stood up as if nothing had happened, calmly waiting for the referee's decision.

Yellow. This is an undisputed decision.

'Alonso was shown a yellow card, and in the next game, he will not be able to play, and Liverpool have a smaller advantage......

And at this time, Alonso had already pulled Robben up,

"Don't think I'm easy to deal with, I really don't like to shout with people, but I have to be prepared to leave the price in the past."

Alonso said the threatening words with a smile, looking at Robben's eyes that gradually became a little afraid, he also sighed in his heart: This game, Liverpool has already won. Our hopes of qualifying have been greatly enhanced.

But I can't play the next game, Anfield, it's up to you. I believe you, you will be able to take me to Istanbul. Don't let my sacrifice be, ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
