The Ball at Your Feet

"Your little Monaco brother, he played really well."

Back in the dressing room, Nedved spoke to Trezeguet beside him.

Trezeguet smiled proudly, but said nothing.

Trezeguet, Zhao Yaning, and Thuram are all from the same club. Although this is not a particularly close relationship, in football, you can compete with the club from your youth in the Champions League. There are indeed not many opportunities for younger generations to meet.

"After the game, I'll go and change a jersey with him." Turam opened his mouth, and he looked at Trezeguet, "If you can't play."

Trezeguet looked at Tulam, but did not speak.

If he played, Piero would definitely be replaced. This is almost certain, and such a thing makes him wonder what to say.

Since this season, Piero has lost his main position, and if Trezeguet had not just recovered from his injury, he would be unlikely to get the chance to start this game. After all, Piero is the captain of the team, and Trezeguet has a good relationship with him. At this time, when it comes to replacing him, Trezeguet does not know what to say.

"In the second half, I will try to kick again. If it doesn't work, you will come." At this time, Piero had just walked into the dressing room. He heard what Turam said and smiled to Trezeguet One sentence.

"What did you do?" Nedved asked.

"It's nothing, a small matter, a few words with the opponent's player... It has nothing to do with the game." Piero turned the subject back, seemingly not wanting to talk about what he just did. "In the second half of the game, we have to score goals. It’s a big deal, no matter who it is, one has to get in."

He knows that if the second half doesn't start the game, it is inevitable that he will be replaced.

Capello didn't like him: Capello didn't hide this. Italian origin, Sacchi disciple, champion supremacy-these things determine, Capello can not like a traditional Italian shadow forward. It is said that Piero's level has declined after his serious injury. It is no longer the level at the time. Even if his level is still the same, Capello can't like him. Did Montella play poorly in Rome? It's not that Capello put it on the bench. This short forward has never been Capello's favorite.

And in terms of tactical style, he is not in time with himself. What consciousness, tricks, cleverness, and aura are all unnecessary in the hands of a coach like Capello. Frontcourt counter-grabbing, full-court pressing, big running, muscle confrontation-these things are what they emphasize.

I can't do his tactical arrangement myself.

"Let's listen to the coach's arrangement." Trezeguet did not refute him, but did not agree, just said dullly.

Piero nodded. He knew in his heart that Capello did nothing wrong. The frontcourt counter-grab and the full-court method of playing is used all over the world. After Sacchi developed this tactic, the whole world believed that it should be promoted. Only Italy has changed Italian football for a century. Dissatisfied with the traditional style of play. He is often cited by those people as saying that the shadow front is a representative of Italy and should not be treated like this. However, Piero himself did not want to say anything.

Winning or losing is important, Juventus, after all, must pay attention to results. As the captain, he cannot take the lead in accusing the coach.

"In the second half, we changed our style of play."

Capello, who walked into the locker room, has already begun to command, "We transferred the core to Ibrahimovic."

Ibrahimovic raised his head, somewhat surprised.

The core figure of Juventus is Nedved, which is everyone's consensus. Many of the moves in the first half were for him, but according to the coach, that was not the case in the second half.

"In the first half, you were too tightly guarded by the opponent. With this intensity, you are unlikely to help the team open up the situation. Therefore, in this game, you are not enough to be the core, you are not the core."

Capello turned his head and spoke directly to Nedved, "It's good for you to find the status after recovering from the injury."

Nedved nodded, he had no opinion on this. After being absent from the game for two months, he was defended by Gerrard again. Now that the team is behind, he will definitely not be entrusted by the head coach anymore.

"Zlatan, what you do in the frontcourt is to be a fulcrum. I can give you freedom, but you have to play smarter yourself. You can score goals on your performance, don't make mistakes."

Ibrahimovic nodded, he was very proud of this importance.

"Brasi replaces, you were smashed into a sieve by the Chinese in the first half. Give me some reflection." Capello made the second decision, "Perrotta is on the field. Your task is not heavy. Defend. That Chinese is even successful."

"Furthermore, Tudor replaced Zebina. Strengthen the header defense." Capello continued, "Also, pay attention to the Chinese. Don't worry about fouls, bold fouls. As for defending free kicks. When the time comes, Gigi can finish."

This substitution is not unexpected. Blasi made a lot of mistakes in the first half of the game and will definitely be replaced. Zebina is also the area that the opponent is focusing on. It is more suitable to replace him. What's more, there is the problem of header defense in the backcourt. Although Tudor sometimes rises, he has height after all. A high point that can be trusted.

"In the second half of the game, my request is to score a goal." Capello opened his mouth. "A goal is enough! What you are facing is only the third team in England. Their main goalkeeper is injured and comes up. It's a little guy. Their main back midfielder has suffered two injuries. Now the main back midfielder is their fifth midfielder candidate! And my requirement of you is not even to let you win, but to let you It’s just one. If you can’t even do this, then there is no need to think about the Champions League. You are not worthy."

In this case, the players raised their heads. They would not accept such insults.

"This is Anfield, yes. This is their place. Everyone has to respect them when they come here. But you are Juventus and you are no worse than them. Wherever you go, others must respect you. Shankly Yes, he is a good coach, but my name is Capello. As a coach, I will not lose to him, and as a player, you will not lose to them." After watching the players, Capello He opened his mouth, "You guys, don't disappoint me too much." —

"We will do a half-court defense in the second half of the game."

"Is this another term for Turtle?" Garcia murmured, but he still listened to Benitez. "Their playing style is very resilient, and they are a championship-level team after all. Don't I thought that if they succeeded in the two sneak attacks, they would be messed up. After all, they are not Leverkusen."

"In the second half, they will definitely strengthen the midfield, and then rely on the strength of the frontcourt to carry out further crushing attacks." Benitez said, "Don't think that the advantage is in our hands. This is our home court. If they score a goal, then they have an away goal in hand. If that's the case, we will be in danger when we get to the away game."

"Obviously we are leading by two goals. Why does the coach say that we are behind?" Biscayne scratched his head, "Isn't it just defending well, we can do it."

"We don't try to attack anymore in the second half of the game. Of course, if the chance is particularly good, you can try." Benitez said, "but the main work is to be done in his own half. Capello is a good one. The coach is also a defensive coach. He can’t let his team’s weaknesses be ignored. I estimate that at the beginning of the second half, they will replace Zebina to enhance the backcourt’s header advantage and right defense. At the same time, Blasi will be replaced because their midfield defense needs to use fouls to make up for their lack of physical strength. Blasi has a yellow card. If he replaces him, it will be more beneficial to their defense."

After Benitez made his own judgment, he was also evaluating Juventus' attack methods.

"I estimate that in the second half of the game, the focus of their attack will shift from Nedved to Ibrahimovic." Benitez said, "Nedved's injury did not heal after all. The state of recovery is not good, otherwise Stephen will not be stared to death. And his style is originally a typical character who relies on diligence to make up for his shortcomings. The style of football is still relatively restrained, not to mention our home game. , The pressure on him is also great, the defense against him in the second half can be slightly relaxed."

"But Ibrahimović is a person who is likely to become a key figure on their front line. I think you have seen his attack characteristics, poor shooting skills, poor explosive power, and average breakthrough ability, but His ability to hold the ball in the frontcourt, strong, flexible, and technical are all top-notch, and moreover, he is an extremely good golfer. He can play a great fulcrum role in the frontcourt and can play a leading role. He can A person who supports the frontcourt attack is very threatening as long as this person is regarded as the core."

"For his defense, it is also a very simple way of thinking. Don’t give him any space or opportunity to start. Jimmy, haunt him. Don’t worry about fouls. He is not a person who can flop. Some players are in the bones. With a sense of arrogance and their arrogance, they will not allow them to flop against the back line of defense." Benitez said here ~www.ltnovel.com~ and glanced at Zhao Yaning, "This person He is a very arrogant person, he can't flop."

If Ibrahimovic is dead, then Juventus' attack system will be completely paralyzed. Although Nedved is known as an iron man, two months away from the game still has an impact. His failure to perform well is also a big problem. As long as Ibrahimovic can be watched, then, this game, Liverpool will win.

But Benitez also knows that the strongest place for Juventus is not their outstanding changes, but their strength. Capello's changes are not many, but they are all difficult to deal with. After all, their strength is too strong, even if they can anticipate their changes, it is difficult to deal with.

"This is a competition of will, but as long as they are frustrated, we will win. At most, they should be replaced by Trezeguet in the final stage to try to grab some chaos and attack us by speeding up the rhythm. The back line of defense. But at that time, we were about to win."

After arranging these, Benitez is also full of confidence.

"So, what about Piero?" Zhao Yaning couldn't help but ask, "For Piero, how should I defend?"

"From a tactical point of view, he is not the right person for Capello's tactics. I don't think that he needs to be targeted too much. Although he was strong before, he has fallen a lot now. To deal with him, Don't involve too much energy."

Is it really so? Zhao Yaning had some doubts. He always had a strange idea: Maybe, Piero would really do something.
