Chapter 208 The Tactical Master's Card 4
Soon, Monaco's attack ended with an airplane-style long-range shot.
goalkeeper Dudek sent out the goal ball, Liverpool did not stay in the midfield at all, and Cise on the right side made a quick breakthrough with the ball. Cise is a very fast player. Generally, it is rarely reflected in the team playing center. It is only to compete for the ball and get the opportunity. In fact, Cise's starting speed is not fast. His speed after kicking up the ball is the fastest. In the right position, his performance is outstanding.
This time, Cisé made a quick breakthrough with the ball, shook a Monaco defender, and then passed it to Gerrard, who played with Alonso twice and kicked it to Cisé. This time, Cisé did not pass the ball directly, but directly carried the ball to the bottom line and made a high ball.
Don Jack is in the penalty area. In addition to him, Gerrard is also in the middle.
Unfortunately, Cise's foot hung backwards, and the positions of both of them were too far away. As a result, the ball was taken by Monaco again. It was Monaco's full-back Squiratch. These white French young men seemed to want to learn from Liverpool's goal just now. After getting the ball, he went straight to Liverpool's half...
I have to say that there is something wrong with his choice.
The main reason is that the front center of the Monaco formation, Adebayor, is only near the center line. The football directly crossed the whole stadium and flew to Liverpool's penalty area. As a result, Dudek easily took the ball in his arms, which was almost equivalent to handing over the ball to Liverpool.
Squilach found that he had made a mistake, and he waved his hand to his teammate with a smile.
Next, a new round of Liverpool's attack began again.
The launch of this attack is still on the sidelines, but the personnel have become Louis. Garcia, yes, this is the attack on the left side. Like Cise, after receiving the 'Edict' of Benitez's 'break through with the ball as much as possible', the Spanish young man happily showed his footwork on the side. Unfortunately, he was not very lucky, but in the process of carrying the ball, he was directly cut off by Monaco midfielder Perez.
Monaco launched a counterattack.
It should not be considered a counterattack. The main reason is that this wave of attack is not fast, which is enough for all Liverpool to return to defense. Therefore, everyone in the audience enjoyed Monaco's 'positional battle' again. The football flew around Liverpool's half, and Monaco did not find a good chance to shoot for a long time.
So, the football was cut off...
Liverpool is another wave of quick counterattacks. This time, the initiator is Cise, not kicking off the ball with big feet like just now, but Cise's fast forward from the side. Even so, few Monaco players can follow. When Cise took the ball across the middle line and moved forward more than ten meters to meet the first one. Defensive player.
Cise didn't have a big toe. He hit the ball to Gerard who followed him briskly with his heel.
Gerard took a look at the ball in the middle and directly thought about the penalty area. The position where the football flew to Jack Don was the point. At this time, there were two Monaco players around Jack Don. He took a horse step in an instant. After that, his luck urged Shaolin to relax, resisted the two Monaco players to jump, and Hit the ball to the right---
is a pass!!!
When Monaco goalkeeper Rodriguez reacted that it was too late, Cisse inserted from the right side of the penalty area and directly stuck his foot on the lower edge of the football. The football flew directly into the net from the right side that Rodriguez could not take care of.
Three to zero.
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!"
Needless to say, he felt numb when he shouted like a big-mouthed Belt. After shouting, he introduced excitedly, "Cypse!!! Gibril!!! He received Jack's header and sent the ball into the net accurately!!!"
"Beautiful!!!"
"Three to zero, I dare to say that there is no suspense in this game now. With three goals in 37 minutes, Liverpool's offensive power is fully displayed. The cooperation between Jack and Cise is exquisite. They are the best!!!"
Sky TV commentator Via also said: "The third goal is the first goal of the French striker in this year's UEFA Champions League. After arriving in England, the performance of the French striker king is still very stable. This time Jack. Li's header ferry is also very beautiful. He pushed the two defenders to push the ball to the most suitable position. This kind of cooperation is extremely wonderful, and his personal ability is revealed.
If you score a goal, you can win all the praise.
However, this goal is indeed beautiful. Liverpool's counterattack speed is very fast. After the goal, Cecil was also very excited to give Don Jack a hug. After this game, the two seemed to be 'ji love'. Don Jack passed the ball to Cecil, and Cecil passed the ball to Don Jack. In short, the two have already Monaco is completely regarded as a springboard for each other to score goals.
In the first half, the two have joined hands to contribute three goals to Liverpool.
Three goals in the half game, this efficiency is really devastating. At least it makes the Monaco players feel dazzle. They don't know how to play in the next game. Even if they continue to play hard, the gap between the three goals is a little too big. In the face of a team like Liverpool, three goals is almost equal to no The gap can be crossed.
And who knows if they will continue to score goals next?
If two goals and one ball behind, the angry Monaco players may be able to hold on for a while. No matter how bad they lose, they will also 'pull' Liverpool players. European football is very strict in stopping violence, but angry players still occasionally have bad performances. They move bigger on the court, and sometimes It is for victory.
But what about now?
Three balls are behind. Even if you try your best and use any method, it is really difficult to catch up with the score.
"What should I do?" Many Monaco players use the same question.
It seems that this question should be asked to Monaco's head coach Didier. Deschamps, as the former legendary captain of the French team, Deschamps is not only the head coach in the hearts of these players, but also the idol and fulcrum of the players. He is the spiritual leader of the team. It is rare for a head coach to be a spiritual leader, but it is normal for these legendary stars.
Every excellent star is a good coach. Although this statement is a little too much, it is just their positioning in the minds of the players. It is not comparable to an academic coach like Benitez, which is also the advantage of a practical coach.
Of course, everyone's talent is different, and the coach and player industry are also different. What kind of results can be achieved in the end depends entirely on personal ability.
Now the Monaco players on the court put their hopes on the head coach Deschamps. They hope that the coach can arrange some tactics or make some adjustments to let the team find the hope of victory. Even if there is little hope, there is much better hope than despair. Now the half of the game has not passed, so The score is so sad.
And what about Deschamps?
As the head coach of Monaco, Deschamps certainly knew that some adjustments should be made at this time, but he kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly at the coach's bench. To say that he didn't understand the tactical meaning of Benitez just now, but after these two fast goals, Deshan has now fully understood the mistakes he made.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with my tactics.
There is a gap in lineup and strength between Monaco and Liverpool, so I let the team balance this gap by fighting in the middle and disrupting Liverpool's attack, waiting to win in the chaos. Such a tactical arrangement can be said to be very direct and ingenious. With such tactics in the away game, if the ball The players performed well, and it is really possible to be unpopular, that is, Monaco's away victory over Liverpool.
However, the Spaniard completely saw through his intention.
So he made a corresponding adjustment, that is, he did not fight with Monaco in the midfield, but compressed the defense line to maintain the situation with two side attacks and take advantage of the situation to fight back. It's right to do this, but the point is on the timing of the other party.
Monaco has been fighting with Liverpool since the beginning. At least from the scene of the two teams, Deschamps's tactic is very successful, but when Liverpool suddenly gives up the entanglement with Monaco in the midfield, how will the Monaco players react?
That is, the attack is very smooth.
Since the attack is very smooth, they must work harder to score goals. Besides, in the case of falling behind, of course they have to push forward.
As a result, Benitez gave the most powerful play to the team's tactic of finding a breakthrough from the side - after Monaco's great pressure, they were able to launch an extremely fast counterattack.
Moreover, it is very beneficial for Liverpool to launch a quick counterattack. They not only have the extremely fast Cise on the sidelines, but also the skilled Louis. Garcia, more importantly, they also have Don Jack, who has been scoring goals in the front court.
The Monaco team almost directly plunged into the offensive trap.
What kind of attack is advantageous?
What is a good opportunity? These are all traps. In the case of Liverpool's formation, how many opportunities can be found with Monaco's front line? It seems that the ball has been flying around in Liverpool's half, but in fact, Monaco has not got any good opportunity at all. The players on the court have been completely deceived by this illusion. Even Deschamps has only reacted now.
In the away game with Liverpool, Monaco took the initiative to attack, while Liverpool fought back defensively?
This situation is the opposite at a glance.
It's a pity that Deschamps is still wondering why Benitez asked Liverpool to give up the midfield entanglement. Now that he reacts, Deschamps feels that he is the biggest fool in the world. This is abnormal at a glance. In the game, there is no team with great advantage in defensive counterattacks, while the weak team plays offensive tactics. ?---
The main thing is that the first half of the game is not over yet! If you want to fight, it's not the right time!
"So how to adjust it now?"
This problem is also the reason why Deschamps is helpless. Now that the team is three goals behind, if one can't be recovered in the first half, the game will not continue, because Monaco will definitely lose. In tactical theory, Monaco only has the possibility of winning in theory.
If you want to score a goal, you must attack, and you must do your best to press the formation.
Now Liverpool is the leading side. Liverpool has taken the initiative. Liverpool players don't have to worry about the passage of time at all. They can spend time with Monaco, so now withdrawing to fight a defensive counterattack almost means giving up the game. This is the reason why Deschamp is depressed. Now it needs to be adjusted. It must be necessary to strengthen the attack, and the strengthening of the attack happens to hit Liverpool's trap... It's really entangled!
But no matter how entangled you are, you have to adjust it. It depends on the meaning of the players on the field. If you don't adjust it, the whole team will have no fighting spirit.
Deshang gritted his teeth, pointed to the bench, and said, "Kamara, go warm up!"
Suleimani Kamala is a Senegalese player. He is only 22 years old this year. He made his debut in Monaco. From 2001 to now, Kamala has played for Monaco for two and a half seasons, but his performance is not very good. Last season, he was loaned to Ligue 1 Guingamp for half a year, and then When Yu Guingamp was relegated to Ligue 1, he returned to Monaco, but unfortunately he was still a substitute.
As a front-line substitute, Camara can only be said to be qualified. The small black players are all good at fighting. The same is true of Camara. His skills are rough, but his health is very good, and he can give strong support to the team in the front court.
However, his skills are not the key.
The key is that Dechamp replaced a striker at this time, and the intention is also obvious. Many big shots of sports TV stations point to Kamala on the sidelines. The live commentator Belt also said, "It seems that Monaco is ready to strengthen its attack. Deschamps's tactical intention is obvious. As a legendary star, he still has a fighting spirit at a critical moment! Well, we look forward to their next performance..." That's right, but if Monaco performs too well and even surpasses Liverpool, I'm afraid Belt will not expect but curse.
Soon, the fourth official raised the substitution card. Unsurprisingly, the young player Camara replaced the central defender Jiwei.
Replace the team's main central defender with a striker. Everyone is very clear about what Monaco is going to do next.
Benitez, who was on the sidelines, couldn't sit still. He immediately came to the side to command the team's defense. Although Monaco's strength is different from Liverpool, in fact, this gap is not very big. Last season, Monaco was also the dark horse of the UEFA Champions League. With the second place in the Ligue 1, it can win the Champions League runner-up, which is really unimaginable.
No one is sure what kind of state this kind of team can break out in a time of crisis... Of course, Benitez never wants to see it. What he wants most is a smooth victory in the game, not to make the game a classic battle of Monaco's reversal: the result of that is that Liverpool has become a supporting role in the classic battle and is despised by everyone.
