Chapter 349 UEFA Champions League Situation

The answer is no!

For others, long-range shooting is definitely an inefficient way to shoot. More players have no choice but to choose long-range shooting. They can only try their luck. Especially in the case of player's defense, the goal rate of direct long-range shooting in the ball is very low. There are often ten balls, which can hit two or three balls. Jing is the world's top shooter.

But Don Jack is different.

Jack Don's footsteps are very strong. In the case of the addition of internal force to the body, the power of his long-range shot is very sufficient. With speed, as long as there is an angle, the goal efficiency is guaranteed. From an angle, Jack Don has worked hard in this regard. Hundreds of long-range shooting training every day is not a big deal. In general, the ball he plays can draw a boundary of a one-meter area. He is guaranteed to kick into this range, so he will not have any pressure to bring into the penalty area or long-range shooting. Force.

Of course it's good to be closer, but it's not a waste of opportunity to shoot from a distance unexpectedly. On the contrary, it's more efficient to score goals unexpectedly.

For example, this time, the opponent's defender obviously wanted to enter the penalty area and hit himself with the goalkeeper. Don Jack immediately chose to shoot, so the other party's approach failed. He ran half of the field in exchange for an invalid defense. This choice is the most advantageous. The shot is more direct than anything else.

Such a situation makes Liverpool's opponents very worried.

The question of how to defend Don Jack has always been the most important research object of Liverpool's opponents, but in fact, after their careful analysis and research, it is impossible for this black-haired boy to defend at all, because his personal ability is too strong to do well in almost every aspect.

For example, now, if he has a chance to shoot alone, he will choose a long-range shot. How to defend this?

If you are close to grabbing the ball, you will be overspeeded...

Stay away from tactical defense, they shoot directly...

In a word, no matter what the defender does, it seems to be wrong. The reaction is that this brunette boy has a way to shoot. Now the Leverkusen players have this experience, but they still complain about Black and say that what's the use of running all the time, but most of them are comforting themselves, Blatter just He became the victim of their comfort.

And the score has become four to one.

This score looks really desperate. Leverkusen finally scored a goal, and the gap pulled back was opened again. It can be imagined that it is a blow to the mental state of Leverkusen players. Even the head coach Ogentale has little confidence. Just now, he hoped to see a miracle. Now But I'm already thinking about how to explain to the fans after the game and how to play the next game.

※※※

Berbatov is also depressed enough.

The word

is a little inappropriate to describe his mood at this time. Now Berbatov has a sense of helplessness, or he saw the gap between himself and the other party's No. 10 boy, and then he was a little frustrated, and his confidence in himself also decreased a little.

Originally, just now and even in the whole game, Berbatov did not feel that there was any gap between him and the other side. As the top scorer of the Bundesliga and the hope star of Bulgarian football, the aura of Berbatov's body is very dazzling, which makes him equally confident. Compared with Don Jack, he just feels that the latter has scored goals. More words.

"The state is surprisingly good, and I can do it..." That's what he thinks.

As a result, Berbatov really scored a goal. He was more confident and felt that the other side was not a big deal. The other side scored two goals just because of Liverpool's strength. In a strong team, there were more goals than a weak team after all, and with the support of all Liverpool teammates. It's not strange for a black-haired boy to score two goals.

But now, Berbatov feels like a ridiculous frog in the well!

Look at the dark-haired boy of the other party. No wonder all Liverpool's teammates believe in him, and no wonder the English have held him to the height of 'the world's first striker'. It's just a good counterattack opportunity, and there are two strong defenders in his team. This No. 10 boy can actually rely on His ability is to hit the ball directly, and it is also an unexpected long-range shot. He doesn't have much confidence in that kind of ball, but the other party chooses to shoot in that place. Looking at his expression, at the moment of shooting, he is full of self-confidence, that is to say, this goal is expected by the opponent... How much confidence do you have in your own strength?

Berbatov didn't know, but he knew he didn't reach that level.

Even if this opportunity is given to yourself, maybe you will wait for the other party to cooperate in the front court... That's not right. Probably it's impossible for me to pass the first defensive player. What's more, I'm not that fast. When I bring the ball to the penalty area, Leverkusen, that is, my team, must have time to defend back.

"God..."

Berbatov was lost. He felt the gap, an insurmountable gap.

But after a while, he regained his confidence. After all, he was still young. Even at the same age, he and the other party must be very different, but he is not old, and he will definitely make progress in the future, and then he may do that.

"No, it will be." Berbatov said firmly.

Even the confidence of the young Berbatov has been challenged, which shows the mentality of the Leverkusen players. After the game restarted, Leverkusen's attack was very difficult, and they also seemed to be a little broken. Since they were worried about the defense line, they simply delayed the time.

The score of 4 to 1 made Liverpool feel that there was no pressure. Of course, they had no problem with the other side delay.

At the end of the game, the two teams seemed to play very well, and both sides rarely had a good chance, and Don Jack was replaced by Benitez a few minutes after scoring the goal, and then saw the 'tacit' game on the court, and Gerrard also lost the opportunity.

However, Benitez was still afraid of the opponent's counterattack, so he replaced two defensive players.

With such a solid defense, even if Leverkusen suddenly plays in a state, it is impossible for him to score consecutive goals. Their advantage can't be pulled back, and the final result is the same. Leverkusen is not in a state, and their players themselves are not in a state. Even if Don Jack is off the field, it is just the heart of their defenders. The pressure is less, and the offensive players in the front court are still the same.

Under such circumstances, time passes bit by bit.

Until the end of the game, Liverpool defeated Leverkusen 4-1 at Anfield. Such a score put little pressure on Liverpool. Unless Leverkusen can score more than three goals at home in the next round, it is imperative for Liverpool to qualify. This form makes the team almost enter the top eight of the UEFA Champions League. Because in the European knockout game, they want to score three goals. This number is a bit of a dream. Unless by chance, or the strength gap between the two sides is too big, it is not easy to score a lot of goals. Obviously, the strength of Liverpool and Leverkusen is not This way.

※※※

At the post-match press conference, Leverkusen head coach Ogentalle put forward his views to the media. He made it clear that there was a gap between the team and Liverpool. He did not understand this obvious gap at the beginning, but now he sees it, and it's not too late: "... I hope I can fill the gap, but the opponent's tactics are still dominant. At this point, I admire Mr. Benitez. His research on Leverkusen before the game can be seen from the bits and pieces of the game. I want to lose this game. We just think of it as a lesson, but we still have a chance. See you in Germany next game!"

Benitez's words are inexplicable.

He can understand the last few official statements. As for the advantage of Liverpool's tactics, he doesn't quite understand. He feels that there must be something wrong with the German's brain, mainly because Liverpool's offensive tactics did not have much advantage in the first half, and Leverkusen's defense is good... " Is it really good?"

During the game, Benitez always felt that the opponent's defense was good, but now that he thinks that his team seems to have scored three goals, which simply shows that the opponent's defense is not doing well. The two are contradictory, but why? The Spaniards don't understand that he has been thinking about this problem since Ogentale left.

However, the current reverie obviously has no effect. After a long time, he didn't quite understand it, so he simply didn't think about it.

After that, under the reporter's question, Benitez said about Liverpool's current goal: "To reach the top four of the Champions League!" This goal does not seem far away, because the team has already stepped into the threshold of the top eight, and reaching the top four is to defeat the next opponent, which is a modest statement.

But even so, it's not easy for Liverpool to achieve its goal!

Even if you defeat Leverkusen, it is really just the beginning on the road to the Champions League this season. In terms of the draw, Liverpool's victory over Leverkusen will be the promoters of Real Madrid and Juventus in the quarter-final knockout match. Not to mention the former, these two teams have always been the Champions League. There are many guests, even when they are eliminated, but the influence of the Galactic Battleship is extraordinary. No team dares to say that they can definitely defeat Real Madrid.

Juventus is also a regular player in the Champions League. Although their results are different from Real Madrid, Serie A giants are not boastful. The 'old woman's control of the rhythm and the game will make Liverpool's 'newly formed' team feel big. If they want to defeat this grinding Serie A giant, Liverpool must pay. Hard work and hard work.

Although a round has passed, the current situation really can't tell which of the two teams will win or lose. In the first round, Real Madrid beat Juventus 1-0 at Burnley Stadium. Back to Italy, Juventus only needs more than 1-0 to beat Real Madrid. The score is enough. The two-goal gap is not difficult for Juventus, who has a home advantage, and the problem of Real Madrid's defense is well known. Even if they have a large group of stars, more media think that it is the drag of Real Madrid's real game. After the first round, Juventus is favored by most people.

Before the start of the Champions League, Arsenal's performance in Europe, which was favored by everyone due to the trend of winning streak, remained unchanged. Before the game, Wenger claimed that he was most afraid of Munich's foggy weather and Bayern's killer Mackay, but the game proved that the time bomb on Arsenal's defensive line was even more terrible.

Campbell's inability to make a comeback in time makes the gunner's defense weaker even weaker.

At the beginning of the game, Durr made a mistake in header and gave Pizarro the opportunity to open the record for the first time, which made Arsenal in the away game passive. After the half-time break, Arsenal's defense, which was forced to attack, made another mistake, and Durr made a mistake in staring, and Pizarro scored twice.

When Salihamedžić expanded the score to 3-0, Arsenal seemed to have been sentenced to death in advance, but Flins missed the excellent opportunity to kick his opponent out early. Then Arsenal's sinner Doyle made up for it and hit it in front of the goal. Judging from the score and performance, Lehman lost to the national team rival Kahn. He was at least responsible for the third goal, but after the game, he declared that Arsenal still had a chance.

"We only need to win 2-0." Lyman said so.

Compared with the two games between England and Germany, England still has an advantage due to Liverpool's strength, but Liverpool also has some regrets, that is, they were moved back by the other side, which will be completely different from 3-1, because Leverkusen has an away goal.

The match between Arsenal and Liverpool is normal. The UEFA Champions League has always been the loss of the away team, but there is suspense at home. Such a result is expected by everyone, but when the eight matches came out the next day, European fans were surprised to find that Manchester United lost!

At Old Trafford, Manchester United lost 0-1 to AC Milan!

The situation of the two teams was completely different before the game. AC Milan's nuclear warhead Shevchenko was injured and could not play. Manchester United's striker Fan. Nistelrui's comeback, which was originally considered to be the decline of Milan's attack power and the great increase in Manchester United's home advantage. Unexpectedly, the ending was exactly the opposite: it was not that Milan, which deliberately pursued the away victory, won an excellent result in the first round of the Champions League knockout round. On the contrary, Manchester United could not use it in front of Milan's "Christmas Tree" lineup. Think about it, Ferguson is still a long way from his second Champions League.

This game reflects the biggest characteristics of the knockout match: for the sake of the Champions League, defense is crucial.

No matter how gorgeous and elegant the team's attack is in the first half of the season, if it is not well prepared for the Champions League, it will definitely suffer a big loss once it enters the knockout stage. Manchester United is an example of a loss, as are Leverkusen and Arsenal.

At present, Lyon is the only one in Ligue 1 that may be sure to enter the top eight, because they have won a 3-0 victory away from home, and it is basically impossible to give the opponent a reversal when they return home, which will be recorded in history. I don't think Lyon will do such a stupid thing. .

For the current Champions League format, Germany's Kicker commented that AC Milan is the most championship-like team.

A team similar to AC Milan is undoubtedly Bayern Munich, but compared with Bayern, AC Milan's defensive ability is much higher. Liverpool's defense is also good, but Liverpool's performance this season is more offensive. Now many media think that Liverpool has gradually become an offensive team with Spanish style, which is very similar to Barcelona and has been separated from the traditional defensive team.

That is, losing the champion...

In the view of the mass media, defense is the key to winning the Champions League!

Arsenal's French geniuses had no aura in front of Bayern Munich's defense and wasted their possession time. On their own defense, they lost two British, Campbell and Cole, and sent Sigan, a central defender who had long proved to be a complete failure. Their defense seemed so weak.

Bayern is not strong, but the defense is more complete and strict. The three goals lost by Arsenal are not so much the pressure exerted by the opponent as the result of the weakness of their own defense, which shows the importance of defense. Since the Frenchman Wenger coached Arsenal, Arsenal's style of football has been very arrogant. While he has brought changes to the Premier League and created Arsenal, the most ornamental offensive team in Europe, he has long been a team that does not pay much attention to defense, does not work hard on defense, and does not build a defense line.

In Arsenal's nine years, the only defensive general who fought for it was Campbell, who moved freely in the summer of 2001. Before that, he completely relied on the five defenders left by Graham. After that, Campbell and Cole trained by the team, Arsenal's defense line was full of loopholes. Compared with his creativity in offensive transformation, Wenger has not even been able to bring the Gunner's defense close to the level of the Five Elders.

The Daily Telegraph commented: Arsenal will never dominate Europe without strengthening its defense.

The Premier League lost Arsenal, and Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United lost 1-0 at home. Obviously, there is not much hope of qualifying. Many media have lost confidence in them, and Chelsea's form is not bad. The 'one-to-zero' legion led by Mourinho only lost '2:1' away this time. Barcelona has an away goal advantage. When they return to the home court, they only need to use a '1-0' to qualify smoothly.

However, Portuguese Mourinho always seems to want to put the team in danger. Although the situation behind one goal is not bad, it is far from Liverpool's big victory.

In comparison, the Premier League top four, that is, Liverpool, are guaranteed to qualify.

Nowadays, many media will compare the Premier League with Serie A, because the points of the two major leagues are not much different every year. There is always one first and one second, and the giants of the two leagues must also be the object of comparison.

This time, the three heroes of Serie A in the UEFA Champions League and the top four of the Premier League have all entered the knockout stage. Germany's Kicker believes that the three heroes of Serie A are stronger, because their defense is good, and after a round of competition, the three teams in Serie A are in a good situation. The four teams in the Premier League are completely opposite, except for Liverpool. In addition, the two teams have little hope of qualifying, but Chelsea, who is considered to be the most likely to win the championship, lost a small goal away from home, and the situation is also very serious.

The gap between the two is obvious.

Speaking of the general situation, Liverpool may have some say in the eight powerful goal of the UEFA Champions League. Benitez also said a few words on this issue: "... This is only the first round of competition. Several teams in England are not weak. Even Manchester United and Arsenal are expected to win.

Such an argument has won the favor of many Arsenal and Manchester United fans.

In response to the reporter's question, Benitez avoided talking about it. He only talked about his team's situation and said his concerns. It's still an old saying about the depth of the bench.

"In the Premier League, there are two or three clubs with excellent team composition, which allows them to be profied in the competition of all competitions. But this is obviously unlikely for us at this stage. Speaking of this, Benitez always frowned. He said to the media, "That's why we are constantly working hard for the future, and we have bought something like Fernando. Morents and Scott. The reason for a player like Carson.

Fortunately, Liverpool is in a good form now, so that Benitez can laugh and talk about these problems. Otherwise, he would not have time to talk to these reporters. He would have been stuck in the room to study how to make Liverpool defeat his opponents one by one.
