Chapter 161 New Teammate 2

After the test of the game, Liverpool's midfield composition is not very appropriate. It is well known that the offensive ability is weak, and Benitez has long wanted to solve this problem, so he finalized Harvey. Alonso's contract, which will also come to Liverpool tomorrow to officially join the team.

But what can an Alonso change?

Alonso is a midfielder and a ball-controller who is good at the middle, but on the sidelines, Liverpool still lacks players who can really play a big role.

Originally, Cowell was good.

This left-footed player, who can play on both sides, has always been the main force on the sidelines in Liverpool. His breakthrough and one-foot pass ability have played a great role in the team's attack. However, Cowell's recent performance has not been very good, which may be related to his frequent injuries, but his poor performance is undeniable.

Liverpool's other players who can play wingers are still Reese, Harman, Finnan, S Mitchell and others, but these players do not meet the requirements of Benitez. What he needs is the backbone of the sideline, not this kind of 'soy sauce hand' that can play all the way.

So, Louis. Garcia's transfer began after Alonso's contract was finalized.

In fact, Garcia is also a disciple of Benitez.

As a pure Catalan, Luis. Garcia was born in the Barcelona youth team, but it was the Turneri Rife team in the Spanish Second League that really made him famous in the football circle. In the 2000-01 season, Benitez was coaching that team, while Louis. Garcia was in Turnerife at that time. Under the leadership of Benitez, Turnerife successfully entered the First Division. In that season, Luis Garcia played 40 games, hit 16 goals and handed over his first report card of his career.

Then Benitez accepted the invitation from Valencia, and Luis Garcia returned to Barcelona after two seasons in Valladolide and Atletico Madrid.

Unfortunately, Barcelona head coach Ricard's transformation of Garcia is not successful. On the right side of Barcelona, Garcia has never found a feeling. He has only scored four goals in a season, and now he has been completely marginalized by Barcelona.

As a player he has trained for a year, Benitez knows Garcia very well. He knows how to use such a player, and it happens that Liverpool's sideline lacks a stable player, so Benitez immediately asked the club to submit a transfer application to Barcelona, and he himself immediately Garcia was contacted privately.

The transfer was very secretive and fast. Liverpool's offer was 7 million euros, and Barcelona's reply was also very direct, that is, he was not satisfied with the price.

That is to say, Barcelona does not refuse the deal.

In fact, for Barcelona, Garcia is really an dispensable player. His performance last season was too bad. Ricard feels that this player is not suitable for his tactics. They have long been interested in selling Garcia, but selling directly will definitely reduce the price. Now Liverpool wants to buy the road. Yi Si. Garcia, it's too late for Barcelona to be happy, and how can he refuse?

As for the price, it's a matter for both sides to quarrel with each other.

In this kind of negotiation, in fact, Benitez has been fully determined that Garcia will return to Liverpool in a few days, which is just a matter of time. This made Benitez in a good mood, but it was not the time to relax. He immediately fell into another job - preparing for the next Premier League.

The next opponent is Manchester City. For this, Benitez has long studied it. What we need to do now is to formulate some tactical playing methods of the game and explain it to the players appropriately. For such a tight game, there is no need to emphasize too detailed things. This is not Benitez sloppy. But Liverpool has just experienced a tense game. If it is said in detail, then the team is likely to play abnormally because of the tense relationship. It is the best choice to give the team a general tactic and let the players play freely.

He did the same.

So, after the training that day, Benitez casually explained tomorrow's tactics and announced the player list and starting list for tomorrow's game.

"Tomorrow's match with Manchester City, the starting lineup is Dudek, Josemi, Haipia, Carrag, Riise, Harman, Gerard, Cowell..."

As Benitez kept spitting out the player's name, Don Jack was also looking forward to it. He was looking forward to starting, and it was really not good to always sit on the bench.

Next, Benitez read: "... Jack. Li, Cise, Baroche."

Directly three strikers, and have their own names. Hearing this, Jack Don laughed in a good mood. It was really happy to enter the starting list for the first time. Although it was expected, Jack Don still felt very happy.

However, this lineup seems to be a little different?

Three strikers?

All the players are confused, and Benitez also explained: "Tomorrow's game, Gibril (Cise), your position pull back a little, try to stay behind Jack, Milan (Baroche), you stand at the front of the formation and play center. Also, Harman, you need to support the left and pay attention to Manchester City's attack on the side..."

Benitez pointed to the tactical version and kept explaining that the players would not be clear until the explanation was completed.

Although it is a three-forward, it is not a real offensive tactic. The position of Cisse, Baroche and Don Jack is not the traditional three-forward play. In that case, Don Jack and Cisse should be one left and one right, but now, Benitez's requirement is that Don Jack is standing near the penalty area line, both left and right. Obviously, he wants to use his long-range shooting ability to create a threat, and Baroche, as a center, is completely attracting firepower, and Cise retreats to become a passer.

In this way, the middle road is full of people. Harman and Riese will definitely take care of the side road, and Gerrard is the player who organizes the attack, so Liverpool's attack on the two sides will be much weaker, but between the gains and losses, the firepower in the middle will definitely be very fierce.

Such a surprising tactical arrangement makes Liverpool players feel that they have changed their coach and really have changed their style. In the last season, Liverpool was 442 in almost every game, and now that the league has just started, Liverpool is about to become 433.

But everyone thinks it's very good. Not only the fans, but also which player doesn't like offense?

The team wins with offense. Such an ending is the perfect combination of utilitarian football and artistic football. Unfortunately, it is difficult to win honors in such a style, because utilitarian football often means defense. Few teams use pure offense to achieve any honors, especially in modern football. More prominent.

Attack brings visual enjoyment, and defense can bring honor, which is not casual.

Doesn't Benitez know this?

If Valencia fans saw Benitez's ranking now, they would be surprised, because the Spanish gold medal coach had never arranged any offensive tactics when he was in Valencia... It has always been defensive, defensive, defensive... Valencia fans feel that conservatism seems to have penetrated into Benitez's bones.

In fact, Benitez has no choice but to arrange it like this.

Before Alonso and Garcia officially reported, there were many loopholes in Liverpool's sidelines. If you want him to send players to play now, his choice on the sideline can only be Cowell, who is in poor condition, or Finnan, who is 'so sauce' on the sidelines. These two players have not performed very well recently. Benitez's first two Tian is still trying to sell Fennan for 2 million euros.

How can this reassure him?

At the same time, Benitez thought of the problem of the forward line. Now the team's four real first-team strikers, that is, Barros, Cise, Don Jack and Pongle. Not to mention Pangler, this player is only 19 years old. When he first came to Liverpool, Benitez talked to him to stay in Liverpool. It is impossible for Pangler's current strength to become the main force.

Pangler is also very clear, so he didn't fight for anything. When the team needs it, he will naturally play.

But the competition between Baroche, Cise and Don Jack is more troublesome. If Benitez designates two of them to play in this game, what will the other one think?

After all, the performance of the three was good, and Benitez was difficult to get it for a while.

Don Jack scored four goals in two games. This kind of performance can't become the main force. Benitez is afraid that he will be be besieged by fans and laughed at by reporters. Baroche and Cise's performance is very good. They have just experienced the game with Graz. This game is a little important, because the sudden rise of Don Jack will make Baroche. Cise realized that the competition between the two had begun, so if no player is allowed to play in this game, the player will definitely feel that his competition has failed.

This is what Benitez doesn't want to see.

After this game, it's different. Benitez can completely suppress it with the reason of rotation and have a good talk with the two, so as to truly solve the current contradictions. He doesn't have much time to do these things these two days, so he can only postpone it. There is no way to put out this lineup.

However, think about the team's long-range shot of the team's brunette boy...

Benitez's eyes suddenly lit up. Although such a tactic is not his own style, with that brunette boy, Liverpool's middle attack must be very strong, and the chance of winning must be much greater than that of Manchester City.
