Chapter 236 Own Problems

Benitez thinks it's acceptable to lose, but the Liverpool players on the court don't want to lose!

Say the truth, which player who participates in the game wants to lose. Now, Liverpool is behind, but the first half is not over. The other side has only scored a goal. What they need now is only a spiritual pillar for them to continue to work hard for victory, that's all.

On the court, many Liverpool players began to look at the coach's seat frequently.

But they were disappointed. The pillar in their hearts, the team's head coach Benitez had no intention to command at all, so they could only pin their hopes on the team's leader, Gerrard!

In Liverpool, Gerrard is the soul of the team.

This is not only the pursuit of fans and journalists, but also in the hearts of the players. No one has doubted Gerrard's ability. In the hearts of the players, if it is possible to win a game, then the biggest dependence is Gerrard.

As the captain of the team, Gerrard must also stand up!

But it's not as heroic as I thought... Gerrard is also a human being, not a god. In the face of such a game, there is nothing he can do. On the court, the other party kept fighting regardless of his physical fitness. His side was in a hurry and his momentum dropped a lot. Gerrard was also worried. He hoped that the coach could give a general direction. Without this, he could only... Discuss it with Don Jack.

In the past, the conductor on the field was himself, but now Gerard can find someone to discuss it. Gerrard thinks that if Liverpool can break the deadlock, it must be the team's black-haired boy.

"How to play? Didn't the coach say that? Don Jack looked puzzled.

As a person who is almost '0' in tactics, how can Jack Don know how to play next? He is also lazy to think so much on the field. The coach arranged the tactics and it will end. If it doesn't work, then ask the captain to adjust it a little. Now Gerrard has asked him, how can he know? Tao!

The main reason is that the teammates don't seem to be in good shape!

The whole team is not in good shape, and it's too difficult for him to score a goal: "Otherwise, he will stick to the midfield. I think the coach will definitely make adjustments in the midfield!" He said this to Gerald.

It makes sense...

This brunette usually doesn't know anything about tactics, but at the critical moment, he really takes action. If he drags the game to the halftime, the coach will definitely say something to them. This is almost the wisest choice now.

In an instant, Gerrard looked at Don Jack in a different way. If Don Jack paid attention to it carefully, his eyes contained a kind of admiration... Great wisdom is like a fool??

However, he didn't notice.

Gerrard quickly told everyone how to play. Since the coach did not give instructions, he told all the players to return to the half-court defense. Only Don Jack was left in the front court. Someone led him, and the Liverpool players regained some self-confidence and greatly reduced the defense.

However, in this way, the offensive of Olympiacos seems to be more fierce.

In fact, just now, it was said that Liverpool was passive, but it was just a display of some data.

Now it's different. Liverpool's overall defense is shrinking, so Olympiacos' attack is smoother. Their possession rate is also rising steadily, which makes the Olympiacos fans at the Rizzopoli Stadium more excited. They keep cheering crazily. I am also extremely proud in my heart.

Even the most optimistic Olympiacos fans did not expect that the team would beat Liverpool before the game, especially after a goal ahead...

Liverpool is really faceless. As the top team in Europe, it is suppressed by a Greek team. This... This... Benitez still didn't respond. It seems that he has fully integrated into the role of a fan and pointed out Liverpool's tactics: "The team has contracted its defense. Whose idea is this?"

Assistant coach Fernandez thought for a moment and said, "It should be Steven..." He is not sure either.

Back on the court, Liverpool has contracted its defense, and Olympiacos' attack is vigorous, but it is useless to thunder or rain. Under Liverpool's full-line retreat, even if the latter is not in much state, Olympiacos can't do anything in a short time.

There was an impasse on the court.

Without the instructions of the head coaches of the two teams, the situation continued, and soon the game entered the half-time.

※※※

Don Jack felt very depressed in this game.

Throughout the first half, he was in good condition, but his teammates were in a bad state. Their attacks were frequently robbed in the midfield. He occasionally got the ball and was snatched by the other side. In the case, he had no choice but to give the ball to his teammates. In the first half, he didn't notice and didn't steal twice.

Forty-five minutes of stinky balls!

This kind of game makes Don Jack feel bored. No one wants to participate in this kind of game, especially Olympiacos. For Liverpool, even if this opponent wins, there is nothing to be happy about, because it should have been like this.

However, now Liverpool is behind... Therefore, it makes people more depressed.

All the Liverpool players who walked into the locker room did not say anything. They just looked at each other and waited for the arrival of head coach Benitez. Some players were ashamed of their performance and uneasy. More players wanted to ask questions about tactics. Liverpool's tactics were suppressed at the beginning of the first half. This is very obvious.

In the expectation of everyone, Benitez walked into the locker room without hurry. There was a little smile on his face, and he seemed to be in a good mood, which made many Liverpool players feel relieved.

However, in the face of these many doubtful eyes, Benitez had to say something.

"I know, you all have questions about the first half." The Spaniard stood still and thought for a moment before saying, "Since the beginning of the season, we have not encountered any setbacks, but let's see what you look like now?"

Hearing this, the players in the locker room were obviously stunned.

Benitez then raised the volume: "Look at you! What did you play in the first half? A piece of shit! We were only one goal behind, and the game was like this. If the opponents were Barcelona and AC Milan, should we raise our hands and surrender?

It's quiet.

In the hearts of Liverpool players, the new Spanish coach has always been a very warm person and rarely reprimands the players directly. Even if some players make mistakes, Benitez will only mention it in a targeted manner. Everyone thinks that the Spaniard has a good temper, and don't look at the last time Don Jack's three-person fight. Nitez went to the Manchester Police Department, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The whole team's impression of Benitez is like this. Few of them have been reprimanded by the coach, but now the words 'a piece of shit' actually come out of the gentleman's middle-aged man's mouth... It's incredible.

But... What a piece of shit!

Thinking about the first half of the game, many players feel ashamed. Even if the coach's tactics do not suppress the opponent, the opponent's full-court rush makes them at a loss. However, after the half-time game, they also know that more reasons are on themselves.

If you can exert your strength normally, how can the opponent be Liverpool's opponent?
