Chapter 235 The Problem of Building a Team
Greece is located in the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula, in the inland region of the Mediterranean Sea. The capital Athens and its surroundings have a Mediterranean climate, and the temperature changes little throughout the year. In September and October, the temperature is also between the most suitable 20 and 25 degrees.
Good temperature and good weather give people a good mood.
On this day, Olympiacos fans are in a very good mood at the Rizzopoli Stadium in Piraeus Harbor, not only because of the weather and weekend holidays, but also because Olympiacos, the team they support, is playing against the giant Liverpool from the Premier League at home and scoring at the beginning. A ball!
On the scoreboard of the stadium, the number '1:0' is so beautiful to these Greek fans!
Because of the lead, everything becomes better!
When a reporter pointed the camera at them, these Greek fans were happy and kept shouting at the camera. Some beautiful female fans were still kissing, expressing the excitement and joy in their hearts, which made some commentators supporting Liverpool say sourly: "Olycacos fans They seem to be in a good mood. These Greek girls are very unrestrained, but we really don't want them to continue to feel better..." If such words were heard by Greek fans, the commentator would definitely be beaten up.
However, think about it, this is the Sky Sports Channel in England. Few Greek fans watch this channel, commentator McGar. Hurmat doesn't have to worry about his personal safety.
Khulmat is worried about the current form of the game.
At this time, the game has been played in the 15th minute of the first half. The score is 1-0. The leader is Olympiacos, who plays at home. Such a result is beyond the expectation of many people. Liverpool has just completed a 9-one victory. This terrible offensive power of the front line is not available at Rizopoli Stadium. Any gain is to let the opponent advance one.
And the scene is even worse!
Liverpool's whole team has been suppressed. Occasionally, there is a large-scale attack and always a series of mistakes, resulting in opportunities for Olympiacos. Judging from the scene, the time for Liverpool to lose the second goal is not far away.
A kind of confusion has spread to Liverpool players.
※※※
As Liverpool's head coach, Benitez certainly would not let it go, but he only sat in the coach's seat and bowed his head to think. He is not thinking about the strategy next to the game, but is thinking about some new tactical ideas... He seems to be distracted.
After a big victory in the last game, Benitez knows more about his team. The team's midfield ability is very strong, and the front line has an excellent shooter like Don Jack. It seems that Liverpool's lineup is already very gorgeous, but Real Madrid's lineup is also gorgeous, but it has not been so gorgeous in recent years. Performance, why?
Football can't be played by a group of stars.
In Liverpool, the biggest pillar is Gerrard. He is the soul of Liverpool's midfielder and a very important member of Benitez's tactical system. Secondly, the brunette boy on the field is simply a 'pervert' on the court. Many fans flash, and every time he can It has become a memory of his career, but for this brunette boy, he doesn't need any inspiration at all. He directly kicks the door, and all the problems have been solved.
Exactly, the problem is with this black-haired boy.
At the beginning, Benitez wanted to bring Liverpool's tactics into the Spanish style. In this way, if Liverpool can play a smooth short pass and take continuous ball control as the beginning of the attack, after this real change, Liverpool will definitely occupy the top position in the Premier League. This is also the purpose of Liverpool's invitation to Benitez. The club wants to return to the team competing for the league championship.
Everything is going well, but this brunette boy disrupted his plan.
Originally, Benitez planned to use one season to improve his team style. This season, he intends to use it as a touchstone. Only better than last season's results, then everything is guaranteed. However, Don Jack's appearance made Benitez have the idea of winning the championship, coupled with changing the team's style. Then the problem arises. In order to win, sometimes Benitez has to slow down his transformation.
Once, twice, three times... Until a few days ago, Benitez suddenly found that he had made a mistake.
Let a group of English-style players play Spanish football? There is nothing more ridiculous than this. Even in the framework of Spanish player Gajrad, it is very difficult for these players who adapt to the strong style of the Premier League to play with technology. He finds that his original idea is too idealistic.
These players have good personal skills and good value, but what they are good at is much worse than the Spanish and South American football style.
Especially the black-haired boy of the team!
For Don Jack, Benitez really loves and hates. Don Jack can keep attacking, but most of his attacks have nothing to do with Benitez's tactics. He relies more on his own personal ability, as well as English-style long passes and counterattacks, all of which are very simple ways.
This way makes Benitez feel that he seems to be too complicated.
Especially after the last game, in the face of Norwich, Liverpool only had a very simple tactic, that is, to attack by fighting hard. In this way, the team played nine to one, and the brunette boy won five yuan alone. Then, Benitez thought about whether he should give up his original idea and let Liverpool's tactics are more concise and practical.
The main reason is that the brunette boy can't adapt to his tactics at all, but Benitez is reluctant to put such a genius on the bench. In that case, the blame for losing is completely on him.
Fans don't care so much!
They lost, and their Jack didn't play. The reason must be that the head coach Benitez didn't let the player who should play! Not only the fans, but also the senior management of the club will think so. There is no need to think about it at all.
This is the pressure of big stars on the head coach!
And now?
Benitez thought of a very simple tactic before the game, so this guy used it in the Olimpiacos team. The content of the tactics is simple attacks, attacks and then attacks. Such tactical skills will hardly come from Benitez. As a world-class recognized tactical master, his tactics are generally arranged very Fine.
But...
This time, because of Don Jack, Benitez just thought of a simple tactic, that is, a complete English kick. Of course, this is much more complicated than the tactics used by Don Jack to play games last night.
However, after 15 minutes of competition, it turns out that this simple tactic often needs the state of the player rather than the tactic itself to play a more powerful role.
After a big victory, the Liverpool players didn't seem to be able to find their state after arriving in Greece.
This is the fundamental reason for the current score.
Ollipiacos' side is really not easy to deal with. Looking at Olympiacos' lineup at the beginning, Benitez is a little worried, because the opponent's midfielder is the absolute main force. The former World Footballer who has just joined this season, Brazilian star Rivaldo is sitting on the bench.
The players on the field are all 23 or 4 year old players.
These slightly younger players have a common feature, that is, their physical fitness is very abundant. Just when Benitez was puzzled, Olipiákos used the physical running at the beginning of the game and the whole court to make the Liverpool players who did not enter the form at all play in chaos.
Taking the opportunity, Olympiakos scored a goal.
Such a situation is very unfavorable to Liverpool. Benitez is also reflecting on his tactics. What he needs is a style of football that can play steadily. Even if the player is not in a state at all, this style can make the team stable. Only in this way can the team stick to the whole season and be nervous in the full league. He performed steadily in Europe and won the championship.
Liverpool is still too 'young' now.
What should we do next?
Benitez finally put his spirit on the field. Now that Liverpool is lagging behind, what he should do is to find a way for the team to save the situation.
But is the outcome of this game really so important?
Benitez hesitated. He wanted the players to experience in this passive situation. It was always a victory, which was not a good thing for a team. Not to mention that Arsenal has almost become the target of public criticism in the Premier League. Due to their continuous unbeatenness, the team is under great pressure.
Even if there is no such brilliant record, the Spaniard knows that it is not good. He wants to teach the players a lesson in this game.
So, under the camera lens of many countries, the Spaniard stretched his eyebrows, raised his legs again, and kept talking and laughing with the assistant coach next to him, as if the passive situation on the court had nothing to do with him.
PS: I'm really out of state today. I've written this word for three hours, and I have a slight cold.
The update will be added tomorrow. Thank you for your support.
