The Ball at Your Feet

After the call with Gerrard ended, Zhao Yaning was also very concerned about another issue. He called Petty and asked the question directly, "Mr. Hollier resigned?"

"Yes, heart disease." Petty replied.

Although he knew it himself, he was only trying to show the words of heart disease. In the past few years in Liverpool, Hollier’s performance has not been high. The situation has always been trivial and anti-revolutionary. The mainland has not been promoted, and the people who bought it are all messed up. He also took his feet and completely abolished Liverpool’s youth training. ——Now, Irving is going to leave the last fig leaf in Liverpool, and Hollier can't go on there anymore. Rather than waiting for the club to destroy his centuries-old tradition and fire him, it is better to leave him happily.

"But, what about my transfer..." Zhao Yaning is still concerned about his own transfer.

"Liverpool is a big club and they won't make mistakes on this issue. And, as far as I know, they are now contacting a new coach."

"The new coach?" Zhao Yaning asked immediately, "Who will it be? The British or the coaches of other countries?"

He is still very concerned about this issue. He wants to know who the new coach he is working with is. This question is actually tantamount to wanting to know what Liverpool wants in the future. If it is a continental style and a Latin-style coach, it means that Liverpool still has the intention to continue to grow stronger, but if it is just to find a coach in the UK to bring it casually, it is equivalent to saying that the team is ready to mix. Days are not a good thing.

"Spaniard." Petit replied. "Valencia coach Benitez, have you heard of it?"

Of course I have heard of it. Zhao Yaning remembered the name.

His agent mentioned him a long time ago, saying that he is a person who likes to delve into technology. After getting acquainted with Moreau, Moreau also mentioned him and praised him in words. Although this is probably also related to that the coach is an assistant of Bosque and a direct line of Real Madrid, but more, still Because Moreau felt that that person did have the ability.

And he seems to be really capable. At least, this season he took Valencia to win two rounds ahead of schedule, defeating Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the two La Liga superpowers, this level is not everyone can do.

In the just-concluded UEFA Cup game, he also won the championship and won the double crown for Valencia.

Moreover, he is indeed one of the coaches who are leaving this season.

Since the beginning of last season, the rumors of his transfer have been very strong. He won the league title for Valencia in the 01-02 season, and then led his team to the Champions League knockout rounds-at that time there were two group stages, and the knockouts were equal to the quarterfinals. In the match against Inter Milan, his Valencia was actually quite good. Unfortunately, he encountered the open Italian goalkeeper Toldo and lost the game with a 27-3 shot chance. This game is both. The classic of the Champions League is also the classic battle of Toldo's life, but Valencia, who was used as the background board, is not very comfortable.

After the end of the 02-03 season, Benitez’s Valencia only won fifth place. When the reporter asked the reason, he threw out the famous lamp and sofa theory, saying that he wanted to buy a sofa, but the club I bought a table lamp-this statement provoked the club's anger, and directly told the media that only the fifth coach in the league had no right to blame the team for the transfer. The conflict between Benitez and Valencia's sports manager Pittaci finally made General Manager Llorente decide to find a new coach to coach.

The estrangement with the club's top management could not be eliminated. Although Benitez won the double crown this season, he decided to resign.

What he left to Valencia is a complete team squad, as well as the European No. 1 club in European war points-of course, this is more than half of the credit for Cooper, after all, the two Champions League finals are the Kuzu team. The results of the time.

The level of this person should be pretty good.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaning called Morientes again. After all, among the people he knew, only Morientes had been in contact with Benitez.

"Moreau, I want to know, what kind of person is that Benitez?" Zhao Yaning asked, "He may coach Liverpool next season, that is to say, cooperate with me."

"Congratulations." Morientes' tone sounded a little like gloating, "It looks like you are going to have a very happy time."

"What do you mean?"

"You know, it's because of this guy named Benitez. For a while, I felt that being a coach was a very scary thing." Morientes said, "You have seen coach Petit's tactics Now, he strives for the perfection of human technology, and he hardly shows any affection. Mr. Benitez is another kind of person. Is he serious about technology? We Spaniards are not so obsessed with technology. But he is not so obsessed with technology. The tactics are surprisingly detailed."

"Isn't that great?" Zhao Yaning asked puzzledly.

"I said, it's so persistent." Morientes smiled bitterly. "Even Coach Petit doesn't just focus on technology, but Benitez, that person has everything in his head. It's a tactic, and I don't care about anything else."

"I don't think there is anything bad." Zhao Yaning was still puzzled.

"After trying your hat-trick for a game, the first sentence after the head coach comes over is not to congratulate, but to accuse you of a problem with your running position." Morientes spoke with a little dissatisfaction, "No Talking about tactics in time and place, who can make people alive..."

"I still don't think there is anything wrong." Zhao Yaning didn't take it seriously. "Where is there such an exaggeration as you said? Don't you just like to talk more about tactics? I think I can adapt."

Then you can get used to it. Morientes laughed: I'm not an exaggeration, it's a fact, OK...

Encountering such a technical house, your life is easier...

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

"From a tactical perspective, this man named Mourinho is indeed a very characteristic person." At the same time, in the team, Deschamps is also discussing with Petit, "Their team There is no particularly good player. No matter on the defense line or on the attack line, there is no outstanding point. On their back line, the most prominent player is Carvalho, but in fact, this defender is a bit irritable. The forward thrusts are a bit too aggressive. And their midfielder Deco, the Brazilian has a big problem with the timing of the pass, and many passes are also problematic, frizzy and frizzy. And theirs At the forward line, McCarthy and Alenichev are not good players, but such a team that looks inferior to ours in every position gives me a feeling that they are superior to us. ."

"That's the difference between coaches." Petit gave the answer directly, "Our players are stronger and they are united, so the problem is naturally with you."

"Yes, you are right. After watching Porto's games, I was surprised: the strongest part of their team is the cooperation in a small area. It is not a small area to cooperate with the offense. They can't play. They have the kind of smooth offense. But their ability to cooperate in a small area is indeed very strong. Although they are not beautiful, unsightly, and not for the purpose of offense, they are proficient. Cooperation is obviously the result of long drills."

Deschamps is also a little bit tricky about this kind of play. "I always thought that this kind of mechanized passing and willpower will only appear in Italy and Juventus, but in them, I saw some prototypes. ."

"You mean, they played like Juventus?" Petty asked rhetorically.

"No. Technically speaking, there is nothing similar. Juventus is much stronger, with richer tactics and stronger players. But the will, the mental outlook, and the skill that have been coordinated, but there are some similarities-in fact, Lyon also has the same meaning, but after all, Leon can't show his face, and can't do a little creativity without talking about it. It only relies on muscles to organize the offense, which makes them still worse than Porto."

The way of mechanized football is not new at all. Deschamps has seen it and played it himself. He still knows a lot about mechanized football. He knows very well that the most rare thing about this kind of football is that he allows every player to be integrated into the whole, and the mental outlook and discipline of the whole team are extremely strong, completely surpassing other teams. This kind of ability, if it appears in the Italians, is normal, but a Portuguese team will play this kind of football, which surprised him.

Although this team is not as strong as people think, at least playing Manchester United and Deportivo must have luck to win the game, but they are indeed a strong team, which is understandable.

Deschamps drew on the tactical board, "It is possible to motivate players to play this kind of mechanical football~www.ltnovel.com~, but ability is needed. Based on this, the coach can't take it lightly."

"Or talk about how you are going to win." Petty asked.

"Defensively, we need to pay attention to the protection of the two wings. Although their lineup does not have a wing, but they are very close to the wing. Delley, McCarthy, and Alenichev can all retreat to the wing and then quickly attack. , It’s important to protect the wing. For Deco, I want Yaya Toure to mark him. But Yaya is sometimes too impetuous when playing football. You have to check it out these days. If it doesn’t work, replace it. Plasil or Bernardi come to deal with him."

"In terms of attack, the focus should be on Joey's breakthrough technology as the core. I have watched their games. The back line is very stable, even very stable. It is difficult to penetrate their backcourt by running. Ludovic’s pull and Joey’s strong jump is the most effective way. What Jerome needs to do is still to be the second attack point, ready to pass from the wing to support the team’s attack."

"So, what's the difference in normal games?" Petty asked.

"The defensive strength is greater." Deschamps replied, "I estimate that the defensive strength of this game is the most fierce game we have seen. The opponent's tactics are very clear, that is, defensive counterattack. You know, too. Once the strong team pulls down to play a defensive counterattack, the game will be very difficult to win. Their midfielder's double defensive midfielders and double front midfielders have strong defensive capabilities and excellent tactical arrangements. This is an unprecedented tough battle. "Deschamps was also a little excited," and this game, the most important thing is Joey's ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt. He can hold the ball and withstand the siege, so that we can hold the opponent's defense. Able to launch an offense. The key figure in this game is Joey. His state directly determines the outcome!"
