The Ball at Your Feet

"Liverpool is now a strong team. Full text of M Literature | Hand-to-hand fight" At this time, Liverpool's opponent in the eighth round, Chelsea coach Mourinho also happened to be interviewed by the media, "They have a very full and complete The lineup is as thick as us and much stronger than Arsenal. They are a strong team that can fight us. Now, we are going to Anfield Stadium soon. I naturally hope that I can be there with Liverpool. We played a wonderful battle. Let us use a game to decide who is the stronger team. The loser quits the championship and competes with Manchester United for second place."

"You are talking about offense, right?" The reporter hesitated, he wondered if he had heard something wrong. The word "attack" doesn't sound like Mourinho should have said, but it is indeed Mourinho's unique habit to scold the other teams in such a few sentences.

"Yes, it’s the most gorgeous way to play. I bet Benitez would want to play like this too. I just don’t know if he has the courage to play against Chelsea. Although Liverpool is very strong, it is not like Chelsea. Decisively strong. We want to defend, we want to attack, we can all do whatever we want, but do they only dare to attack the weak team, they only dare to defend against a strong team like us? I don’t know, but I believe that Liverpool is not like this A timid team. They are European champions. They are the strongest team in England. They dare to play a wonderful comeback against Milan. Why don’t they dare to play against us? We can also play very well. exciting competition."

If this allowed, the media immediately overjoyed. Last season, Chelsea rose, Liverpool won the Champions League, and England's two strong teams showed great strength. Although Chelsea's league results are even better, but last season, the whole season they did not win a victory against Liverpool. There are even rumors that in this season, this game, if Chelsea loses to Liverpool again, Mourinho will be fired on the spot by Abramovich.

Under such pressure, almost all the media thought that Mourinho was going to play an extremely harsh defensive battle. He scored a goal by retorting and counterattack. But who knows, they were all wrong, Mourinho did it. The decision made turned out to be a full-scale attack.

And immediately, the reporters also interviewed Benitez, "Will you accept Mourinho's challenge and have a vigorous battle with him?"

For this question, Benitez's answer is very simple and clear, "Of course not. I bet they said that the attack is also false, this game will definitely be a boring battle."

The media is not very happy with this answer. And their next question followed immediately, "So, may I ask, have you ever thought about playing offensive football?"

"Of course I thought about it, but I have to distinguish when it is. The game against Chelsea is not the time to play offensive football." "See the latest| chapter"

In this case, the media immediately grasped the talk, and soon the outside media released the talk.

"Liverpool is afraid of Chelsea's strength and dare not attack Chelsea. It is amazing to say this from the European champion coach, and especially when he has a European footballer and a semi-European footballer in his hands. It’s even more weird to say this when I say that. Isn’t Zhao Yaning’s level inferior to Lampard in the eyes of coach Benitez?"

This was the case for a while, but in the Liverpool locker room, Benitez was still arranging his tactics sternly, "The formation is still 451, and the backcourt is guaranteed to have more than five people at any time. Joey and Luiz are slightly delayed. Before attacking, try to defend first..."

"Why can't we attack them?" In the locker room, Zhao Yaning couldn't help but raised a question, "If we talk about strength, we shouldn't lose to them? Then, why don't we attack?"

From the bottom of my heart, Zhao Yaning still advocates attacking football after all. When he can attack, he doesn't want to defend, which is his pursuit. Liverpool now has three fronts full of personnel and outstanding strength. Although I dare not say that Chelsea has fallen stably, what are you afraid of for a full-scale confrontation?

In his mind, he didn't think Liverpool was worse than Chelsea. I did not lose to Chelsea last season, and this season, Liverpool’s reinforcement work has been done very well. In Zhao Yaning’s view, the current Liverpool team does not have to be afraid of Chelsea at all. Since Mourinho wants to attack, then Go out and show them. This is Anfield Stadium. Who was the Liverpool team afraid of when they were here? If you want to fight against each other, then just fight against each other. Moreover, if it is really like the outside world, Mourinho dismissed after losing the ball, that would be great, Zhao Yaning had long hated his chirp, and if he left, maybe Chelsea would have changed back. The underdog, that's what makes people happy.

"Last season, we didn't lose to them. It was not us who was afraid of it. Since they dare to provoke, why can't we fight back? Since they want to attack, we have to attack them, right Winning the offense also left them speechless."

Zhao Yaning expressed his own attitude, but Benitez shook his head again and again, "I don't think they will really attack us. On the contrary, I think this may be a trap. They just want to get us overwhelmed. , And then hit a counterattack goal. If we really believe him, if we focus on offense, we are likely to be beaten badly. We still defend well. After all, they have an extra Essien, and the tactical changes should also be It's huge, let's see what their playing style is like before we make changes."

Benitez's idea is very simple: he doesn't believe that Mourinho will really be boring to watch the game, or to show that he is a strong team and fight him. When he estimated a person's tactical arrangements, he analyzed it from the person's tactical habits. Those provocations, aggressive generals, and weaknesses meant little to him. Mourinho's habits, the composition of Chelsea, and the need for points by both sides before the game are the main basis for his judgment.

According to his judgment, Mourinho's so-called counterattack is a cover, he still has to defend, and then rely on the counterattack to score. Therefore, the decision made by Benitez is still to score points through the same defense-after all, it is Anfield here. If you stay firmly, at least it can be a tie. The main competitor of the league is Chelsea. Although the draw is not the best for Liverpool, as long as the score is not opened by competitors, it is acceptable to maintain the six-point difference between the two rounds of the short game. .

But such an approach can be somewhat unacceptable for the players. Last year, the Liverpool players were nothing. They have no honor, no money, and the star of the team has left them. The spirit of the whole team is at the lowest point. When facing a strong enemy, they can naturally accept the tactical arrangement of defending and counterattack, but this season, they Their strength has obviously gone up to a higher level, and they can only defend and counterattack during the game, which makes them feel unacceptable.

Zhao Yaning still felt unwilling and wanted to say something, but Garcia pulled his clothes and told him to shut up.

But in his heart, he was still unwilling. No matter the team did not concede the ball, and the attack was also very sharp, it was against another defeated player of theirs. Why did it have to be so cautious?

It wasn't until Benitez explained the tactics and left the house that Garcia spoke, "You are not the first coach who knew us. When is he someone who can easily compromise? You tell him These are totally meaningless."

"Then what do you want?" Zhao Yaning asked rhetorically.

"Our game is still good offensively." Garcia said, "He arranged his defense and we played our offense. It is not that we have not practiced offensive tactics. We have his teaching every time we need it. During the game, as long as we press up and attack."

This sentence started, and immediately, there was a rush of arguing in the dressing room.

"The coaches are too conservative. How can they be so strong? We met them last year. Didn't we play well? At that time, our staff was not as good as now. They are just one more Essien-Joey, you deal with Do you have Essien?"

Zhao Yaning nodded. Of course, he was confident enough. He has played against the big water buffalo more than once, and has long been familiar with Essien's various playing methods. Dealing with him is not a problem for Zhao Yaning.

"Then we will show them the attack! Will we still be afraid of them? If they are attacking us, we want them to look good. If they dare to defend-that would be better. We not only need to play football and win them, Moreover, you have to laugh at their big-talking coach!" Carragher said, "If we stick to it, even if we win the ball, which coach of them will definitely have to talk a lot of big talk. We can't give them this opportunity! It is not difficult to beat them, but what we want is to be open and upright to suppress them!"

Amidst the roar of laughter, Zhao Yaning was also faintly uneasy.

"Against the coach, okay?"

"Is the coach all right? He is too conservative. This is the critical moment for us to open the victory and defeat, how can we be soft?"

In this case, Zhao Yaning also felt approved, but he always felt that what the coach said should still make sense. Although offensive football is indeed very good, it does not hurt to be safe when facing a strong opponent. And Chelsea is indeed very strong. The teammates are very happy now, but Zhao Yaning still remembers how they held Liverpool powerless to resist when they first met last year, and how they relied on being outstanding in the League Cup final. The tactical arrangement almost defeated Liverpool.

Moreover, in my heart, he still feels that he shouldn't be disobedient: as a player ~www.ltnovel.com~ he has never been disobedient.

It's just that now, none of my teammates think so. Although Zhao Yaning felt a little uneasy in his heart, he felt a little eager to try in his own heart. Why can't you try it? Indeed, this may be the opponent's trap, but if we are strong enough, we can break his trap. What Benitez said may not be right. He wants to sell me in the summer...

We have won Chelsea more than once, and we have all seen their tricks. How strong is it even with an Essien? Fight with us, then give it a try. Moreover, if it is really a trap, can't we take it back in time? It's not very difficult. Moreover, my teammates want to attack, so what can I do? Just go with the flow. Moreover, even if it is in addition to the trouble, your own strength can also save the situation, right?

We are a strong team, and a strong team can't always rely on defense for a lifetime. I now want to win the Golden Globes, relying on the tortoise to fight back, the Golden Globes judges, certainly will not like it. Where can a dynasty be established for a team that shrinks on defense? Since it is necessary to compete with a strong enemy, then it is better to use the most open means to compete.

This game is just a good one, and it's a good fight against Chelsea. Whoever loses will have to speak after the kick.
