Super Storm

Things like faith are really elusive.

It's hard to build, but once you have it, it's really different.

After the team eliminated Barcelona with a total score of 5-1, Liverpool in the subsequent 30th round of the Premier League, they were tied 0-0 by Aston Villa.

Benitez tasted the sweetness from the rotation system and continued to rotate the team lineup.

Yang Yang, Crouch and Xavi Alonso were all put on the bench, which severely restricted the team's offense.

The midfield excludes the combination of Mascherano and Sissoko. Benitez seems to have both the meaning of examining players and the idea of ​​training the team. After all, as the Champions League deepens, the opponent will become stronger .

As a result, the team made a mess of offense in the first half.

After changing sides in the second half and fighting again, Xavi Alonso came off the bench in the 60th minute, then in the 72nd minute, Crouch also came on, and until the 83rd minute, Gerrard only Came off the bench.

In the end, Liverpool failed to break Aston Villa's goal.

Martin O'Neill's team is very firmly defended at home, especially in the second half, it is almost impervious.

For this result, both Benitez and Liverpool fans expressed satisfaction and felt acceptable.

Although, after this round, Liverpool were two points behind Manchester United.

Everyone knows that there are still eight rounds in the league, but the next knockout is crucial, and every step can't go wrong.

Double-line combat, especially the Premier League team's double-line combat, is really very difficult, because there is no winter break.

Liverpool do not have enough bench thickness, so they have to make some trade-offs appropriately.

Manchester United beat Bolton 4-1 at home with Park Ji-sung and Rooney.

Chelsea also won Sheffield United at home, but Arsenal were beaten by Everton zero to one on the road.

The current situation of the Gunners is indeed full of sighs, and he simply cannot see the performance of the Champions League runner-up last season.

In the Premier League, he withdrew from the championship team early, and the UEFA Champions League round of 16 lost to Eindhoven 2-1 in two rounds, stopping at the round of 16.

It can be said that the status of the Gunners is really great, but this is not a bad thing for Liverpool.

Because of the 31st round of the Premier League, Liverpool will play at home against Arsenal.

This is the only Premier League team in Liverpool that has not been beaten so far this season.

…………

Although Aston Villa was leveled away, Melwood's atmosphere was still pretty good.

Winston Bogarde returned to Beijing after only a week in Liverpool, and he couldn't rest assured of his gym in Beijing.

Since training with Winston Bogard, Aurelio and Mascherano both came to Melwood early every morning. They will follow Yang Yang to train in the gym, but the project is different.

After an hour of gym training, the other Liverpool players are almost there. They will start a lap training, which is more like a warm-up training, mainly active muscles.

Every morning, captain Gerrard and Carragher always come to the training ground at the earliest. They call this a demonstration role.

Players who come early will join Yang Yang and other players who are practicing in the gym to form a lap for lap training.

Now, Yang Yang no longer takes the initiative to ask for a ball in the circle. He trains like other people. It is not easy for others to want him to be in the circle.

This training intensity is not great, the players are also more relaxed, and do not forget to chat a few words while training.

For example, Mascherano played well against Aston Villa yesterday, and performed quite well. He also scored a long shot and nearly scored, but unfortunately it was still a little bit worse.

If you do, this is the first goal of his career!

Since the Argentine midfielder joined Liverpool, his overall performance has indeed been on the rise, especially after training with Winston Bogard in the past half month, he seems to have become more and more confident on the court.

Yang Yang can also feel the urgency in his heart, after all, it is already the end of March.

With more than two months left until the end of the league, without decent performance, how could Liverpool spend £ 10 million or £ 20 million to sign him?

Yang Yang also found an opportunity to ask about Paco Yesterdam. Gerald and Carragher both said that Yesterdam was still considering himself. Benitez wanted to keep him, but how exactly Not quite clear yet.

In this regard, no one has a very good way.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Yesterdam played for Benitez in Liverpool. He definitely had the idea of ​​developing himself. For example, Quiros, who was Ferguson ’s assistant, he ran to Real Madrid for a year. After failing Return to Ferguson to continue as an assistant.

But Yang Yang's main concern is Benitez. After losing the lubricant of Yesterdam, Benitez can really control the dressing room? Can he really continue to get along so well with everyone?

Sometimes, people change.

Yang Yang believes that the Barcelona players must be cheering when they send off the iron-blooded coach Tenkat. Everyone is thinking in their hearts that they must still be able to maintain self-discipline.

But the result?

Rijkaard did not retain it. This must have been enthusiastically supported by the players, but now, do the players still support Rijkaard so much? When Eto'o attacked Rijkaard on the spot, how many people came forward to accuse the Cameroon striker?

Managing a team is not much different from managing a company.

No one is perfect, so is Ferguson, so is Rijkaard, and so is Benitez.

But now, everything in Liverpool is really very good. If the bench thickness is not enough, the team can really stick to the double-line battle.

Yang Yang ’s worries were n’t mediocrity, Gerald and Carragher also had such worries, so after Yang Yang raised them privately, they all immediately communicated with the coaching staff and management.

But if Yesterdam really wants to go, no one can stop him.

...

"By the way, against Arsenal this weekend, Javier and Fabio will be on, and Alvaro will also be."

Speaking of which, Gerrard looked at Mascherano and Aurelio, "You have performed well, the opportunity is rare, and you have played well. Maybe the Champions League next week will also be played together."

The captain's words just fell, and Mascherano and Aurelio were all happy.

Avelloa is not here, otherwise, it is expected to be equally full of expectations.

All three players joined the team last summer or this winter, but they have not yet fully proved themselves.

It is needless to say that Mascherano has played a handful of games; Aveloya has played both games against Barcelona in the Champions League and has performed quite well, but he is not good at his position. Left back.

It can be said that this is a countermeasure made in order to limit Messi, not for a long time.

In the long run, Aveloa ’s competitor should be Finnan.

As for Aurelio, he is constantly competing with Lise, but in the two rounds against Barcelona, ​​Benitez has chosen Aveloa, which makes Aureli, who is a left back O felt the pressure.

This is not a bad thing.

Appropriate pressure can keep players alert and easier to maintain their state.

Liverpool's opponent in the quarter-finals draw is Roma from Serie A, first and second, so this home game next Wednesday is very important, the team must do their best to win in order to be able to a more relaxed environment Go to play away.

Benitez will definitely consider players who make his form better.

As for Yang Yang, Benitez specifically told him when he was training. When playing Arsenal on the weekend, he will arrange for Yang Yang to play for an hour, and then he will replace him to prepare for the Champions League in midweek.

Yang Yang is very clear about his mission. The most important thing for him now is to maintain his own status and try to help the team go further, whether it is the Champions League or the league.

The only difference is that the Champions League is even more imminent.

If he can, Yang Yang of course wants both the Champions League and the league, but if he chooses one of two, then he will choose the Champions League.

It has been four years since he longed for a Champions League of his own!

Liverpool this season is undoubtedly the most confident year for him, he really does not want to miss it.

...

Relatively speaking, Arsenal's situation is not so good.

Adhere to multi-line fighting this season, the final result is that Arsenal have been out on all fronts. In March, they were destined to be empty-handed. More sadly, there are still many injuries in the team.

Henry was injured, Van Persie was also injured, and now even Gilberto Silva was injured.

Recently, Wenger hasn't had any good news. The only thing that can be regarded as more pleasant is that Togo center Adebayor lifted the ban and returned.

Now, Arsenal's situation is very much like Liverpool's encounter when the two sides contested for the first time, all because of injuries and depression.

But in 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, it is now Liverpool ’s turn, and of course it ’s his death when he is ill.

The last time they lost to Arsenal on the road, and this time at Anfield, Liverpool obviously did not intend to let their opponents go back safely, even if the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to usher in the middle of the week.

Yang Yang still remembers clearly that in Ajax, Ronald Coman and the coaching staff once told him that Arsenal's biggest problem is their physical fitness, because they want to maintain their own pass and control system .

Passing and controlling the ball is difficult and difficult, and neither difficult nor difficult.

But this set of play styles requires a lot of players' running, and running requires physical fitness.

Especially in the tactical environment of the Premier League, in order to face the impact of opponents, players need to run more and consume more physical energy, so Arsenal will crash every season before and after the winter break. This is absolutely Not accidentally.

Yang Yang believes that Arsenal's question, Wenger himself must be aware of it, but this season still insists on multi-line combat, the League, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup all want to play. ?
