Chapter 361 Find your own suffering
About 40 years ago, Bill, one of the best figures in Liverpool's football history. Shankly once said: "The best team in the world is Liverpool, and the second best team is the Liverpool Reserve!" Shankley is qualified to be so crazy, because 40 years ago, it was the heyday of Liverpool, and the "Red Army" people were so prosperous that even if they sent a second team, they could beat Europe.
Look at the current Red Army, I'm afraid Shankley will cry.
Liverpool can't play the world in England. There is a Chelsea on it all the time, and the long injury number sitting in the stands makes head coach Benitez even put on his jersey to play a game. When such a team meets Juventus, the first 'grinding' in Europe, many people really don't have much hope. The media is concerned about whether Liverpool's No. 10 boy can score in the game.
Most fans think that Don Jack can still score goals, but they think Juventus will win the final victory.
A person's power is very strong, but it's too much for one person to overturn a team. It's very difficult for Liverpool to defeat Juventus. Without Don Jack, I'm afraid no one will expect Liverpool to win. Juventus is not Leverkusen, not Monaco, such a traditional strong team in the Champions League, against England. The team is harder to beat than the strongest England team, just because they are the Italian team.
Juventus, the name of the "old woman" is not covered. The style of this team will make most of the England teams fall into a quagmire and be eaten by the "old woman" unconsciously.
Liverpool will be one of them.
In terms of rhythm control, Liverpool really has no advantage at all. Juventus is best at controlling the rhythm. They dominate Europe by controlling the rhythm, but don't forget that Juventus is also an Italian team. The Italian team has always been known for its defense. Together, the two add up and say that they are the first in Europe. It's not too much to defend the team. In this regard, AC Milan and Inter Milan can only give in.
More importantly, Juventus has one of the world's top coaches - Capello!
Fabio. Capello is one of the most famous football coaches in the world. He has coached many top clubs and has rich coaching experience. Compared with Benitez, Capello is a veteran of the coaching industry, and he is a very, very excellent senior. He is the pursuit and end of Benitez.
Player Age Capello is a quite successful midfielder who has played for Roma, Juventus and AC Milan. Capello played for Juventus for six years in his player era and helped the team win three league championships.
What really stepped into the peak of life is the period of changing to coach after retirement.
Capello coached many Serie A clubs, including Rome, AC Milan, Juventus, etc. In addition, he also coached the La Liga Galactic Battleship Real Madrid. Capello is one of the most successful leaders in European football. His coaching style is to focus on discipline and defensive tactics. He won the Serie A championship four times in the six years of coaching AC Milan, and set an unbeaten record of 58 league games in 1991/1993. AC Milan defeated Barcelona 4-0 in the 1993/1994 UEFA Europa League final and led AC Milan to win the Champions League trophy for the fifth time. The first time, Pope Madrid won the La Liga championship and returned. After returning to Italy, he moved to Rome for five years and won the Serie A championship in 2001. In 2004, Capello became the leader of Juventus and won the championship again.
Now, Juventus led by him is regarded by many as the most powerful competitor in the Champions League.
When Liverpool met Juventus led by Capello, Benitez, the champion coach of La Liga, has become the team's weakness. Under the rise and fall, Liverpool is more obvious to lose.
As commented in the German newspaper Kicker: "If Liverpool wants to move on, they must cross Capello's iron wrist!"
※※※
The media's comments have little impact on the Liverpool club itself. The team is training as usual. In fact, the real Champions League quarter-finals will not be held until April. There is no need for Liverpool to worry at all. At present, they are ready to play the league to ensure the results and the ball. The status of the team is fine.
Recently, the team has been doing restorative training. Since Christmas, the weather has been keeping low. The weather in Liverpool is not very good, and it is not getting better in March. Many players are not used to it, resulting in too many injuries in the team. The Liverpool coaching staff is afraid that too much training will make the situation worse, so the ball The team's training is very easy, and it is doing some basic recovery training.
But the league has not stopped.
This kind of training has been obviously unfavorable to the team's game. In the first three days of the next round of the league, Benitez also began to let the team play some internal small matches and practice real games, so that the players can quickly adapt to the atmosphere of the game.
Such a confrontation occurs between the main force and the substitute.
The team distinction is obvious. The main force of the team is in one team, and the substitute is in the other team. In this way, the gap between the two teams will obviously be very large. This can increase the cooperation between the main players, and also allow the coaching staff to observe the status of the substitute and the players of the main team, and make timely adjustments and guidance.
Jack Don is on the main side. After a few days of leisurely training, he feels a little stiff. He is looking forward to today's team training. After the start of the game, Jack Don is involved in the team's offensive system.
The main team with Don Jack will obviously be much better than the substitute team. After ten minutes of the game, the main team has already led by two goals. Of course, this situation makes the main team happy. Jack Don contributed a perfect performance of one pass and one shot, so that everyone can see that his state is as good as ever.
"Jack, that's great! I really don't know what you will look like when Black himself sees you again..." Alonso joked.
Blackburn has just finished playing the FA Cup with Liverpool, but in the next round of the league, Blackburn's opponent is still Liverpool, but it has become Liverpool playing against Blackburn at Anfield. This schedule is really unacceptable to them.
"Thank you."
Don Jack also felt that he was in good shape. He felt that he had been waiting for his teammates to pass the ball in the front court and was still a little passive, so after scoring the second goal, he returned to the backcourt to train his steal ability. Through the game with Blackburn, Don Jack found that he could give his opponent more power in the midfield. Wei, especially those teams that have done a lot of defensive arrangements in the backcourt. In their own backcourt, they can't defend in place. If they get the ball while defending, they can pose a threat to their opponents, which will have a great effect on the team and their performance.
He wants to find a feeling in this position.
Due to the strength of the substitute team, they are the suppressed side. The position near the center line is even the defensive front line of the main team. Occasionally, the substitute team makes a counterattack, which is also the defense line that must be crossed. Don Jack constantly hits the opponent's front with the ball in this position, giving his teammates a lot of strong support.
Don Jack also feels that he is very comfortable playing.
When the substitute side attacked, he could always stand in the most correct position at the first time. Near the middle circle, his two consecutive steals made the substitute players complain directly. They had no good idea, because Don Jack's reaction speed was too fast.
But as he spent more time in the backcourt, the number of shots naturally decreased, but Don Jack felt that the opportunities for his teammates had increased a lot. This can be seen from the three consecutive shots of the main team in a few minutes. In the past, it was good for him to get a chance in the front court.
But at this time, Gerrard shouted to him, "Jack, don't be in the back, go ahead and shoot!"
"Why?" Don Jack doesn't understand.
"Jack, your position will repeat with me, by the way, and Jamie." Gerrard pointed to Carragher, who was running this way and explained, "You are near here, and the running position will be repeated with us. Jamie doesn't know which side to run. Will you let him go to the side road?"
Gerard's tone was a little heavy, and Don Jack was also very uncomfortable to listen to. He pointed to the direction of the penalty area: "He can go to the back. No one stared at Milan just now."
"That's the job of the central defender!"
Jamie. Carragher was a little angry. Just now, he didn't know how to play. It seemed that all the things he had to do were done by Don Jack. He was a little aimless on the court.
"I'm the back of the team!" He pointed to himself and shouted.
Carragher was a little excited. Gerrard quickly stopped him and advised, "Don't do this, Jamie." He looked at Jack Don with some embarrassment.
Carragher is an old man of the team. Gerrard and Carragher have been in Liverpool for several years. Although Don Jack has just joined the team, he is the best player in the team. It can be said that after nearly a season, Don Jack has become an indispensable member of Liverpool. It is he who has brought constant Victory.
But now, the two quarreled.
Gerrard's advice is to make Don Jack take a step back. Carragher is grumpy and the two have a position conflict, but in Gerrard's opinion, this is not irreconcilable. He also has a position conflict with Don Jack. This black-haired boy can always score goals in the front court and does not necessarily have to perform in the backcourt.
But Don Jack is not a giver!
It doesn't matter if you put up with it for your friends. Although he was a Buddhist monk in his previous life, Jack Tang can still endure it, but in terms of football, it has nothing to do with his friends.
Football is work.
Whether it is a friend or a relative, it has nothing to do with work. This is the sports ethics of professional players. The spirit of courage will not give in because of friendship. This is disrespect for your career. After living in Europe for so long, Jack Don also understands this. In the back position, although he is not very good at the position, Don Jack feels that he has found a feeling here. In the competition of the team, he has always had an advantage. Since he has found a feeling here, it is Carragher, not himself, even if the competitors are Gerard and Carragher. The same.
After formal games and training matches, Don Jack found that he can really play better in the midfield than in the front court. The space here is wider, which can adapt himself to the team and effectively play all aspects of his abilities.
In the front court, Don Jack can only receive his teammates to pass and shoot. The work is so simple. He has been able to complete these two things well, but sometimes the team doesn't play well. He thinks it's because he doesn't play his ability in other aspects, and he relies too much on his teammates.
And now it's completely different in the midfield.
In the midfield position, the running distance has increased significantly, which can reflect your physical advantage. By using the physical advantage, you can play a greater role than others. In addition, your amazing reaction speed and running speed can also give great support to the team in defense. If you have the opportunity, you can go straight to the front court and don't have to wait for your teammates to pass the ball. This is the position to play your greatest role!
Don Jack is righteous!
If Gerard or Carragher can perform better in this position, he will not say anything if they occupy a good position. After all, there is competition between professional players, but they do not perform better than themselves, so they naturally occupy the core position of the team, rather than giving in because of friendship.
Under Gerald's persuasion, Don Jack ignored the angry Carragher and continued the game.
But it was completely different at this time. It was said that Don Jack was still under a little psychological pressure to retreat just now, but now there is no pressure. Carragher kept moving forward to grab the position. He stood in a suitable position to intercept the bench's attack without hesitation. In this way, the position conflict between the two became sharp and just arrived. Benitez, the head coach on the sidelines, frowned.
"What's going on?" He came to Alonso and asked.
Alonso didn't know the specific thing, but he still saw the scene of the conflict just now. He explained the reason to Benitez and made the Spaniard frown.
"What is Jack doing!"
Benitez didn't understand Don Jack's idea, and he didn't watch the whole game. Now he only sees that the midfield position of the main team is in a mess. The team's brunette boy and Carragher are constantly competing for the position. Gerrard has no choice but to play forward in the front court. Unfortunately, the bad midfield makes him unable to get the ball at all.
After watching for a long time, Benitez knew that there was a personal conflict between Don Jack and Carragher. He frowned and asked the assistant coach to put Jack Don as a substitute: "Let Jack go to another group."
It doesn't matter on weekdays.
Due to his outstanding strength, Don Jack is often divided into the substitute team and the main team, so that the two teams can play almost the same. Most of the time, he can lead the substitute team to score more goals. If he is in the main team, there is no suspense in the game between the two teams, and the substitute team will definitely be the losing side.
But making this decision now makes Jack Don feel uncomfortable.
The conflict between the two could be seen by the whole team. As a result, the coach 'distributed' himself to the substitute team. When changing the jersey, Jack Don didn't say anything, but his expression still scared the teammates next to him. The gloomyness was written on his face.
As a result, when the game started again, Benitez regretted it.
The conflict between the two has been put on the surface. This training match should have ended a long time ago. Now the two are divided into two teams. Whenever Don Jack breaks through with the ball, Carragher is really shoveling directly. Don Jack is not afraid at all. He broke directly towards Carragher with the ball. As a result, he forcibly passed Carragre with his body again and again. That way of passing makes others feel sad for Carragher: Don Jack takes the ball and directly hits Carragher with his body. If the latter tackles the ball, Don Jack will simply move the ball forward, and also tackle the ball to Carragher's foot... That reaction speed is really embarrassing.
Everyone is worried about Carragher.
Carragher is a tough guy, but no one can stand it so many times. On the contrary, no one is worried about Jack Don. His physical fitness has long been thought to be a monster: can this black-haired boy get hurt? Does the earth not rotate...
Carragher became the sympathetic party.
In fact, the two did not really confront each other a few times. When the same scene was staged for the third time, Carragher rushed over with his fist.
"Fuck-you!!" He still shouted dirty words in his mouth.
Don Jack smiled disdainly. He just raised his hand and caught Carragher's arm. Then subconsciously turned around, Carragher directly shouted in pain with a cold sweat on his back. The teammates he saw next to him felt that the smooth movement was not like a football player at all, but a country that professionally caught all kinds of terrorists. International Special Forces.
"Ren go, what are you doing!" Jack, calm down!"
Alonso, Gerard and others hurried to persuade him, but Don Jack still pressed Carragher's back, and the latter was sweating profusely. Benitez couldn't sit still. He ran over anxiously and took Don Jack's arm: "Let go! Jack, I'll let you go!"
"It was his first hand!"
"You let go first!" Benitez is in a hurry.
Don Jack let go of his hand, and Caragar gasped and fell to the ground. He moved to the other side twice in fear before wiping the cold sweat and looking at his arm. Just now, he felt that his arm was about to break. He was really a little scared. He stayed aside and said nothing, and several teammates kept comforting him.
"It was his first hand!"
Don Jack shrugged his shoulders and said to Benitez.
He thought it didn't matter. He just wanted Carragher to teach him a lesson. If he can't compete on the court, he will do it by himself. That's humiliating.
Benitez looked down at Carragher, and then got up and said angrily to Jack Don, "You, go run the circle, now!" Immediately! Right away! When will you calm down and when will you stop? With that, he seemed to feel wrong, and then turned his head and shouted at Carragher, "You too! Keep up!"
Carragher also slipped around.
Running the circle has nothing to do with Jack Tang at all, which is like a relaxing rest for him. But when he saw Carragher running with him like a circle, he was happy and kept speeding up. He was also very concerned about what happened just now. In the team, he has always had a good relationship with his teammates, but this time because of the position conflict with Carragher and Gerard, the other party reacted so strongly. He felt that he could not tolerate it. Professional players had competition, but the competition was not his reason.
Carragher doesn't think so!
In Liverpool, he is a veteran of the team. In the back position, he has always been the absolute main force of the team, but now his position seems to have been provoked. His performance in consecutive games is getting worse and worse, and even head coach Benitez doesn't trust him very much, so he is going to become a substitute?
Carragher can't tolerate it. He thinks that Don Jack should return to the front court. The other party's backcourt is completely a provocation to him!
My territory, I'm in charge!
Carragor in the running has a desire to compare. He can't stop this brunette boy on the court, so he can't run a circle with him now, and he can't be willing to be behind. Now the whole team is watching. If his physical performance is not as good as that of the other party, then he will really lose the reason for the competition: each They are worse than the other party. What qualifications do you have to compete with?
"Why is this guy getting faster and faster?"
Soon Carragher found that something was wrong. He was already speeding up, but after such a fierce competition just now, the guy actually ran faster and faster. Carraggar felt that his legs were almost gone, and the boy in front of him was still speeding up...
"No, I have to work hard!" Carragher gritted his teeth and insisted.
But he soon found that he had done a very idiotic thing - to compete with the dark-haired boy. Isn't he nothing to suffer? A moment of confusion has caused the current situation. If you continue to run, you will definitely not be unable to run the other party no matter how hard you try. If you don't run, the way you obviously compare with the other party just now will become a joke.
Shame on you!
Carragher is very depressed.
