Chapter 197 Benitez's Tactical Thought

This goal made Benitez completely relieved.

And the confidence of Magson, the head coach of West Bromwich Albion, has plummeted. In the face of a team with a huge gap in strength, what can West Bromwich Albion do?

As the head coach, McGerson feels that there is no suspense in this game. However, he can't show this. In order to give confidence to the players, he can only cheer up the players again and again at halftime, telling them that the opposite team is not invincible. All they need to do is to work hard, work hard, and work harder.

Unfortunately, West Bromwich Albion players have really heard this many, many times.

In the Champions League, West Bromwich Albion, as a strong team, Magusson doesn't need to do this at all. Every game, as long as you work hard, it's easy to win. No matter how hard it is, it's rare to lose. In some games that have definitely lost, Magerson told everyone that it doesn't matter if you lose. Anyway, we hit the Premier League. The score is enough, so that everyone can be more confident and free.

But what about now?

In the Premier League, they don't have the confidence to win against a team like Liverpool. Is it true that 'the relegation score is enough'? That's impossible.

Now West Bromwich Albion ranks second to last. Who knows if it will become the penultimate after the score...

Under such pressure, it's really useless for Magerson to say anything. He also knows the situation, but what can he do with the facts in front of him? At this time, Magson just complained that the club paid too little transfer fee. His first expectation was that he could only be a free transfer player. Anyone who saw this situation would be very depressed.

※※※

No matter what Magson thinks, he is completely relieved in Liverpool.

At least head coach Benitez is like this. With a two-goal lead at home, Liverpool really has no pressure in the face of such a team that is not at the same level, so Benitez's intention to experiment with tactics is up again.

Test tactics?

Many Liverpool fans will be surprised when they hear this word, because what tactics can Liverpool try? But Liverpool players are not surprised, because Benitez has been transforming Liverpool during their daily training.

Originally, Liverpool was a pure English team. Although the current style of playing is a little Spanish, it is still in the ranks of English football, which is completely different from Benitez's coaching style. Under the condition of ensuring the team's performance, Benitez has always wanted to transform the team into a suitable one for him. The coaching style, so that he can have more flexibility to control the game.

Many people don't know the difference between a world-class coach and an ordinary coach. If it is really explained, every world-class coach adapts the team to himself, while the average coach adapts to the team.

Liverpool's invitation to Benitez certainly did not make him adapt to the team, just as fans and media reporters hope. They hope that the arrival of the Spaniard will bring something new to Liverpool's football. Now, what did Benitez bring?

That is, a few new players and a few victories.

Other coaches can do the same, but new things are necessary for big teams. Otherwise, Liverpool will be no different from before. In the face of those world-class strong teams, they will be passive. This passive does not mean that Liverpool's players are not strong, but that their tactical ideas are different from world-class teams. .

What fans and the media hope is for Benitez to bring his own coaching style to transform the team.

In fact, since he came to Liverpool, Benitez has been doing this. In his daily training, he always makes targeted arrangements in terms of tactics. In order to implement the whole team faster with his coaching ideas, he brought four Spanish players, and only players who have played in La Liga, It can better integrate into your own tactical framework.

What is Benitez's tactical style?

Many people will be at a loss. Even Liverpool's most loyal fans don't know that they have been in Liverpool for so long. In the tactical practice training, Don Jack is just doing it according to Benitez's arrangement. That's all. He doesn't know what the Spaniard wants to transform the team into, mainly by himself. The tactical consciousness can't keep up with the team, let alone those profound theories.

But Gerrard knows very well that he knows what the Spanish coach means and generally understands his tactical ideas.

To sum up, it's very simple, that is, control!

The style of English football is Liverpool's original style, that is, body collision and hot-blooded football. It's a little too much to say, but in fact, it is the same from the surface. With the development of the Premier League, there are 20 teams in the whole Premier League, all kinds of styles. English football has long been gone. The original style.

Italian football prefers stability.

Let the opponent bombard indiscriminately, and we stand still, looking for opportunities to complete a fatal blow to lay the victory. This is about Italian football, so they pay more attention to defense. Therefore, Italian football has the least goals per game on average.

And the style of Spanish football is control.

Control the overall situation and let everyone in the team keep passing and receiving the ball to make the opponent have no ball to touch. What the team needs to do is not to work hard to attack, but to control the football and keep the advantage of possession rate. In this way, the opponent always has no ball, so how many opportunities can they have?

A team with more opportunities is naturally a team with a better possession rate. With more opportunities, the chances of winning will naturally increase greatly.

The simple meaning of control is almost like this, and Benitez obviously has his own style. He prefers to control the midfield and control the situation of the whole field step by step with his continuous ball control advantage. Even if he sacrifices his own opportunities, he will let the other party have no chance to find opportunities to complete it in such a situation. A blow of life.

This is a very extreme Spanish football style.

But Benitez has always felt that this kind of football is the most suitable for him and has the best chance to win. Especially when playing against those big teams, it is really important to control the situation. If the situation is in the hands of the opponent, it is too difficult to win. It's better to play the English football team. The ball directly disturbs the opponent's control of the ball, and there may be more opportunities.

Now, what Benitez has to do is to let his tactical ideas constantly transform the team until Liverpool really becomes a team under this tactical style, and then his transformation is complete.

Such a transformation cannot be completed in a short time.

Benitez is ready to transform Liverpool's whole team in a season under the condition of ensuring the results, so that the team can fully adapt to its tactical concepts, so the team's results will definitely be guaranteed next season.

This idea is crazy!

However, Benitez is confident to do so. In the state of ensuring his current performance, there is no suspense that he will stay in Liverpool next season. At that time, if he gets a better result, Liverpool will really become the team in his mind. This is what every world-class coach hopes to do, but Bei Nitez has already put it into practice.

The important thing is that Liverpool don't have so much money, and Benitez can only do it slowly.

For example, Mourinho doesn't need to do this. In Chelsea, he really has all kinds of transfer funds. He can buy enough players to adapt to his style, and then directly complete the transformation... This is really domineering!

Therefore, Chelsea's performance is so good, and his strength has been improved so much. At this point, Benitez is indeed a little envious of Mourinho. If Liverpool has such a good environment, how can he slowly transform the team?

Players who are not adapted to their own tactics leave, and those who adapt to the tactics are left, that's all.
