After finding Benitez, the conversation between the two was also very direct.

"You're still at the heart of the team at the start of next season." Benitez said this, his face was a little embarrassed, "I know I want to sell you, so you may not believe me in this arrangement......"

"I believe it." Zhao Yaning didn't let him talk any more, and directly let him continue.

There is no need to say anything more. That's how he behaved. Arbeloa is still a player he brought out when he was an academy coach, and he still doesn't care about his calling? In the whole team, only Alonso has some contact with him privately, and the others have no contact with him since they left the team, and his temper is not a person who gets along with the players.

He pretends to be a professional coach, which Zhao Yaning really believes. This guy isn't sentimental at all.

"Actually, I've been thinking about how we're going to play after that." Benitez knew what Zhao Yaning wanted to hear, so he naturally said something to him, although it was at the banquet, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, "You and Figo are alone, I think, under normal circumstances, it is better for you to be on the left and Figo on the right." McCone is a very well-rounded defender, his speed, and he also has a high impact and coordination awareness, which can make up for Figo's speed shortcomings, and at the same time, Figo's position can also be slightly delayed, and Alonso and McCone form a good attacking combination. And you're a right-footed player, playing on the left, you can cut in more ways, you can attack more in the lane, you can be a little bit more forward, you can form a good combination of attacks up front with Gerrard and Morrow. You can leave the control of the rhythm to them, and the final attack is up to you. ”

This arrangement is the style of play that Benitez prefers. Young people like to be in the limelight, and it is better to let Zhao Yaning go closer to the position of the penalty area. After all, Figo is older, and his speed is not very suitable for the Premier League, and the position is a little behind, which is also better.

A 4231, but it doesn't have to be symmetrical. It's a better idea to attack on the left side. This is also in line with the characteristics of modern football, after all, it is a trend for right-footed players to cut inside, and attacking on the left side must also be kicked.

In the front court, how to control yourself and find a balance between helping your teammates and coming to yourself is Zhao Yaning's business.

"Our field trio, what needs to be done is different things. Gerrard's speed, impact, and technique are top-notch, and he can run back and forth in large numbers, supporting both ends of the pitch at any time. Although his consciousness is not enough to be a handsome talent, as a general, he is perfect. Sissoko, on the other hand, has a strong destructive ability, and he can easily crush the enemy's attack plan by running in the backfield. Alonso's task is to run sideways, ready to launch long counter-attacks at any time, and on the other hand, to maintain a forward and backward position with the full-backs to help the full-backs get in. ”

Liverpool's field trio is arguably one of the most perfect trio in the Premier League. Although all three people have flaws, when the three of them stand together, they are infinitely close to perfection.

Steven Gerrard has been hailed as the next Keane since his debut, but it has proven that he doesn't have Keane's playmaking and execution skills, and although he runs a lot and covers a large area, the problem of ball quotient has prevented him from playing Keane's role at Manchester United.

Benitez's arrangement for him is to let him play as a central midfielder - this is closer to Keane's position when he was at Nottingham Forest, and after he has no defensive tasks, he can rely on his active running and constantly gallop forward and back, but it has the greatest effect.

And Sissoko's more terrifying coverage makes him the most out-of-the-box interceptor. Although his technique is rough, he is enough to satisfy Liverpool when it comes to defending alone. After all, to command and dispatch and launch counterattacks, Alonso is the most suitable person. Alonso, on the other hand, has a small coverage and is not good enough to get rid of when playing, which is overshadowed by his two teammates who have a large range of movement and strong support ability.

The perfect trio, and Benitez is clearly not content with three people yet. He was also making new suggestions to Zhao Yaning, which also made Zhao Yaning nod again and again.

"Actually, you can also think about how you can replace your own possession breakthrough with more flexible movement." Betters casually drew on the table, "The shortest distance from the line to the forbidden area is less than thirty meters, and the longest is more than forty meters. Your habit is to withdraw to the field to receive the ball, relying on your breakthrough ability, and doing everything you can forward and cut into. But it's not necessary. Running 30 meters with the ball, the fastest time is more than three seconds, such a long time the opponent's defense must be arranged, your attack difficulty will naturally increase greatly, such a kick, not suitable for you, the real position that belongs to you, is 25 meters to 10 meters away from the goal. In this position, running, receiving the ball, and making timely choices are what you should do more. ”

Zhao Yaning has the ability to run 40 meters to fight a counterattack after taking the ball by himself. But this ability is not something that Benitez admires very much.

Nobody likes their team to play on the counter-attack. After all, football matches are about fans, and what fans want to watch is not what the final score of the game is, but the performance on the pitch is what they want to see.

Gerrard galloped to the rescue, Sissoko defended, Alonso attacked, Figo was in charge of advancing, Morientes scored the goal, and Zhao Yaning only had one thing left to do: at the front of the penalty area, under heavy surrounding, take the ball, hold the ball, play the ball, and create chances.

And when facing a weak team, the coverage of the field can make Zhao Yaning play extremely easily. When facing a strong enemy, Zhao Yaning can also adjust at any time - defensively, he is not very good, but he is not lacking in the coverage, propulsion ability, and scheduling ability of the offensive end. Relying on Zhao Yaning, Liverpool can easily switch between playing a weak team and playing a strong team, so that the physical strength can be properly distributed, so as to win the season. And these are some dang, Zhao Yaning's play. It is the most important link for Liverpool to go to the next level.

It's just that how much you can comprehend has to be observed through the game.

-----------------------------

Liverpool's subsequent friendly match was against Bayer Leverkusen.

This team that has met in the Champions League has been beaten by Liverpool miserably. Bayer Leverkusen's players are now relieved of their initial defeat. And losing to the European champion team, this kind of thing still makes them feel that they are not wronged.

And Liverpool didn't have much thought about this arrangement. Bayer Leverkusen were no match for them last year. And this summer, they only finished sixth in the league, and the European competition is also out of play. Playing against them, in fact, is also Liverpool giving themselves confidence.

And in this game, Zhao Yaning also began to deliberately try to reduce ball control according to Benitez's instructions, travelling on the side, constantly supporting the road, and at the same time breaking through with the ball from time to time.

This kind of play has made Liverpool's strength a lot stronger.

Usually, when Zhao Yaning got the ball, there must be two to three people watching him. No one thinks this shouldn't be, and for breakthrough masters, it should be treated like this.

But now, he's running more off the ball, and that's a problem. Should I keep an eye on him? Should he be constantly monitored? It's hard to make a decision about such a thing.

One of the advantages of players with the ball is to guide the opponent's defenders to the position they are not good at, so as to achieve a breakthrough, Zhao Yaning is now running without the ball, which makes the opponent's defense more prone to such a bad position, which is indeed a good way to maximize the effect.

In the case of Liverpool, it doesn't work. When Reese is in the front court, it is still a trivial matter to not be able to pass people, and the bigger problem is that he has the problem of raising his feet far away without thinking. Staying away at every turn, and not considering cooperation, this is also his biggest shortcoming.

Garcia, Baros and others are limited by their skills, and they can't calmly take the ball, get rid of it, and pass the ball in the front court. In the past, Liverpool broke through with the ball, attacked, and passed, and only Zhao Yaning could take on these tasks.

And now Liverpool, Gerrard, Milito, and Figo can all hold the ball in the front court and pass it out, and Zhao Yaning's pressure is greatly reduced. He can rely on running without the ball to tear apart the opponent's backline, he saves a lot of jīng power, and after getting the ball, he relies more on the first pass, pass, shè goal, to end the game.

What he needs to gradually run in now is how to control himself to adjust the switch and adjustment between without the ball and with the ball, and how to ensure that he can save his physical strength as much as possible, so that he has enough physical strength to participate in the attack and counter-attack.

This is also his biggest task.

And in this game, Liverpool also won cleanly. It was supposed to be a friendly match, nothing important to speak of, Figo scored first in the first half, Milito came off the bench to score another goal in the second half, and before the end, Alonso's far shè scored again to give Liverpool a 3-0 victory.

In this game, Zhao Yaning, who began to pay attention to adjusting his playing style, did not play very well. But his change has made Benitez quite satisfied.

"Liverpool's tactical reform, we have to come step by step." When talking to Yesterdam in private, Benitez has a lot less scruples, "English football is a lot behind the world, and if we want to make him stronger again, we have to carry out technical reforms." ”

"It's a great attempt, but it doesn't seem like you're the only one doing it, right?"

"Yes, Liverpool have been trying since they brought in Houllier, and Manchester United's Alex Ferguson has also tried to do so by making Queiroz an assistant coach. Chelsea, on the other hand, have been more like continental teams since the late 90s when they brought in all sorts of continental stars, in a sense, they have gone the furthest. But if the best combination is still Arsenal, Arsene Wenger's Arsenal attacking system with the English style 442 is the best combination of the two. ”

"But you still don't think it's good enough."

"Yes." Benitez nodded, "Houllier has failed, so let's not mention it for now, his problem is that he is too accommodating to Ou." And Manchester's Alex Ferguson wasn't a success, as evidenced by Peron's problem. But he didn't seem to have given up yet, and the old man was terrible in terms of stubbornness. Chelsea have gone the farthest in the past, and they were already very close to the continental team under Ranieri, but it turned out that the continentalization was too strong to survive in the Premier League. Although Arsene Wenger did the best, Arsenal's European results were the worst, and there was a reason for that. ”

Benitez thought for a moment before he spoke, "It's like a bullfight." English football is the strong bull, while Spanish football is the bullfighter. What Arsene Wenger and Ferguson did was give wisdom to the Bulls. What Mourinho and I did was to give strength to the matadors – which of us did the right thing will be seen from next season's competition. Look at who wins, it's us, the matadors, or the angry bulls. ”ω· u(8) Update the fastest reading network
