Chapter 371 Benitez's Strange Tactics 4
Don Jack was also surprised that Liverpool led by two goals.
He thought Liverpool would lose in a mess, but now it seems that Liverpool did not lose but played well. He was a little relieved, but at the same time he was a little confused and unwilling.
After having a conflict with his teammates, Jack Don has been meditating on this matter. He knows that there are some problems with his stubbornness, but Carragher also has problems, as well as those teammates who do not pass the ball to themselves. They are all the originators. The mistakes are not their own. It should be said that this is committed by everyone together. Error.
But now only I have been punished.
Benitez only shows his dissatisfaction with himself, which is unacceptable to Don Jack. He can accept his mistakes and admit and correct them, but he can't stand being targeted. In fact, when Benitez announced that he would not be allowed to appear, Don Jack was still a little indifferent.
Don't have yourself?
How can Liverpool compete with Juventus like this?
But Liverpool has done this. Don Jack also have to admit that Benitez is not what he wants to do. This Spaniard is not very pleasant in some aspects, but his tactical ability, his ability to lead the team, the state of mind in the face of the competition, etc., Benitez can do a good job. There will also be unexpected success.
The Spaniard is a genius!
But Don Jack feels a sense of confusion. For many hours in Liverpool, he has contributed so much strength to the team and helped the team score so many goals. Now the Spaniards seem to be using the fact that they can defeat the top teams in Europe without their own Liverpool. So why do you want to stay here?
They don't need themselves anymore.
Such an idea made Jack Don even more confused. He was no longer in the mood to watch the next game. Instead, he turned off the TV and drove around the beautiful city of Liverpool alone. He wanted to appreciate the achievements of staying for nearly a year in order to clarify his state of mind and think about how to solve his problems.
In addition, is it necessary for you to stay in Liverpool?
All of these require careful and comprehensive consideration.

The game at Anfield continued, and the fans of the two teams kept cheering.
The performance in the first half was a mess, but after Juventus regrouped in the second half, it showed extraordinary strength. The strong midfielder composed of Emmosen and Nedvede makes the Liverpool midfielder, which is only supported by Gerard and Carragher, as fragile as a flower in the wind, and the midfield defense composed of the backcourt Tulam and Cannavaro also makes Liverpool's attack weaker and weaker.
After the start of the second half, Juventus intensified their attack.
Pesotto replaced the mediocre Brasi, Zambrotta moved forward, Juventus' formation became 352, and the combination of double strikers Ibrahimovic and Pizarro made Liverpool's defense sway in the wind. Juventus frequently entered the penalty area. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before Liverpool conceded the goal.
In the 54th minute, Fennan made a mistake in passing the ball. Ibrahimovic intercepted the ball and knocked back on the left side. Nedved, who inserted it, volleyed with his right foot 22 meters in front of the goal. The football flew straight to Liverpool's goal. In the penalty area, the football hit Biscain's right leg and flew out of the right post, but the referee gave the goal.
After that, Nedvid and Piero kept making long-range shots on the periphery. Seeing that the team's goal was blocked, Capello hurriedly made adjustments. Trezegay came on the field and replaced Piero, who had a mediocre performance. This adjustment doesn't seem to matter much. The situation is still the same as it was just now. Juventus couldn't get the ball. With two goals behind, Capello was so anxious on the sidelines.
In the sixty-third minute, Zambrota made a cross from the left, and Carson made a mistake!
Fortunately, Carragher's header rubbed the back post, Juventus' corner kick, Camoranesi made a corner kick on the right side and was cleared. After that, Zambrotta got the ball on the left and passed a wonderful arc ball. The inserted central defender Cannavaro pressed Fennan at the back point and headed the goal at a small angle nine meters in front of the goal.
Carson is still young after all!
He made a mistake in judging the route of the ball. As a result, the football rebounded into the near corner in front of him. After 20 minutes of attacking, Juventus finally scored the score to one to two.
But their attack is not over. Juventus will not be satisfied with this score. Capello said before the game that he wanted to get 3-0. Just a minute later, Camoranesi's strong right foot long shot 26 meters from the goal on the right side proved this. Although the football missed the far post and flew out of the bottom line, but It also shows Juventus' determination to attack.
However, it is good to have determination, and it also depends on the opponent's attitude.
Liverpool obviously didn't want to lose their hard-won advantage. After that, Liverpool retreated from the whole line. Benitez's firm defense made Liverpool fans cry: the team's only striker, Barrosh, actually retreated to his own penalty area. For a few minutes, Juventus could not see a red figure in the half. !
Such a defense really makes Juventus very depressed.
And more importantly, Juventus are not Barcelona. Of course, they are not Real Madrid. Even if the team lineup is gorgeous, their autumn wind, their formation, and their style has always imprisoned their offensive ability. At least in Europe, Juventus dares to say that their Defense is the first, but the attack can't even catch up with Eindhoven.
The moment of the old woman's melancholy has come...

When the game was over, Benitez almost smiled and shook hands with Capello politely, the Spaniard said modestly, "It's just luck for us to win. See you next time!"
This is not right in Capello's ears.
The two have known each other for a long time. In the 1990s, Capello was the popular coach of the European club. At that time, he coached AC Milan and led AC Milan to win various championships. Benitez was learning how to be a good coach. It can be said that he was just a coach apprentice at that time, and then Benitez went to Milan. I would like to ask Capello, and I have been Capello's assistant for more than a month.
At the tactical level, Benitez has learned a lot from Capello.
In an interview before the game, Benitez once admitted: "The time when I was a teaching assistant in Milan had a great impact on me. Capello is the most successful coach of European clubs. I am very familiar with him, and he is also very familiar with me. It's our first time to play against each other. I'm looking forward to the game."
But now Benitez has won Capello.
This can really be said to be a victory. Even if the Champions League is a two-round match to determine the promotion, can Liverpool's lineup be compared with Juventus? Two to one, no one can imagine this game. More fans think that Liverpool without Don Jack will lose to Juventus in the first round, and there will be no suspense in the second round.
Where is Capello's sworn 3 to zero!!?
For Capello, the post-match press conference is doomed to be depressing. He can no longer find his vigor before the game. Losing away to Liverpool without Don Jack is also a stain on his coaching career, but he still has to face those annoying media reporters, especially Italian reporters: England The reporter is concerned about Liverpool, who won the surprise, and the Italian reporter only cares about why Juventus lost!
"I'm careless!"
At the press conference, Capello had to express this view: "We were careless. As a result, the players couldn't adapt at all at the beginning. The Italian team has not performed well at Anfield, but we still have a chance to return to Turin, and we will still be the winners!"
Is this a declaration of victory!?
Capello said that he really has some confidence in the next game. In this Anfield match, Juventus scored an away goal, so when they return to Turin, they only need to play 3-1 to zero to easily advance.
However, this game made Capello and everyone who watched the game remember a name, that is, Luis Garcia, Liverpool's greatest hero with one pass and one shot. Juventus lost commenes away to Liverpool than to Espanyol Luis. Garcia, after the game, Garcia became the focus of media reporters.
In this game, Garcia conquered the audience at Anfield with an almost perfect performance, and there is no doubt that he was named the best player of the game. After the game, the Liverpool Club official website even called the Reds' best match of the season.
Of course, the leading actor is Garcia.
However, Liverpool fans don't care about this at all. Liverpool have played a lot of good games before. When Don Jack was there, they could easily beat Arsenal and Manchester United. This game is not the best game. It can only be said that it is the best game without Don Jack, but this season, that brunette boy is in the end. How many games have you missed!?
This is obviously the intention of the senior management to benefit, diluting the role of Don Jack.
But it is undeniable that Garcia's performance is really good. In this game, he perfectly interpreted what a left-backer should do. After the game, Juventus head coach Capello admitted that the midfield led by Garcia and Gerrard had the upper hand in the game, and Capello especially one pass and one shot against Garcia. I was surprised because before this game, Capello didn't even know the name of Liverpool's 16th player Garcia.
Capello said, "He ran in an erratic position, which made our defender suffer a lot. His goal is particularly beautiful. When you shoot in that situation, Garcia's shooting trajectory is undoubtedly your best choice.
Although Liverpool head coach Benitez did not particularly praise Garcia, he hugged him tightly on the sidelines after the game.
Just last month, Garcia did not perform well with injuries in several games, and many media have made noises, believing that Garcia will be the victim of Liverpool's big change at the end of the season. However, through this game, Garcia will not become a burden, but also a blessing for the Red Army.
Compared with Gerrard's offensive and defensive balance, Garcia is more like a shadow killer ambushed behind the frontline players.
After the game, the Liverpool Morning Post believes that Don Jack suppressed Garcia's performance in the team, because the former performed so well. As a result, many talented players in Liverpool have no chance to score goals. So far, Garcia has only scored six goals in the Premier League. Compared with the first season, Garcia's performance can only be counted. It's good.
Of course, Liverpool fans are very picky now. Looking at the number of Don Jack's goals, the goals of these players are not conspicuous at all, so the Liverpool Morning Post explained this matter in the next day's report. The article mentioned: "It's good to have Jack, but the coach should pay attention to Jack's position. In fact, he is not used to being a striker.
This is obviously saying that Don Jack's striker will suppress the offensive ability of other players.
In fact, the analysis of this report is well-founded, and there are some disadvantages for Don Jack, but Don Jack feels that he has entered his heart. He also knows that he will suppress the performance of other teammates in the team, and then he finds that his most favorable position is the midfielder, and the result is like this.
Don Jack has always felt that football should be pure and not mixed with anything else. Maybe this idea is really naive, but it concerns him. He is still very principled. He is the most advantageous in the midfield, so that he will play the greatest role in the team, but Benitez and Liverpool do not seem to be suitable. Do it yourself.
Thinking of this, Jack Don is a little melancholy.
