Chapter 374 Big Pie 1
Piero pointed out after the game: "We didn't perform positively enough today."
Juventus' performance today is not only not positive, but even a little slack. You know, they are at home today, facing Liverpool without Gerrard, but even so, they have not shown the determination and belief to win at all. The too rational and rigid side of the "old woman" is exposed. If they have half of Inter Milan's ** and fighting spirit, it will be a completely different. The game. Dudek didn't have a real rescue in the game, which is the best portrayal of Juventus' offensive effect.
Five minutes before the end of the game, Liverpool pressed up and could choose to take the opportunity to delay the corner kick, but Letalek chose to cross. In front of Juventus' pale attack, the Red Army had completely played confidence. They didn't mind giving Juventus the ball control, even in the end. Bell, the ball has no less time in the half of Juventus than in Liverpool.
The total score in the two rounds was 1-0, and Juventus lost to Liverpool.
In the confrontation in which Jack Don did not play, the strength of the two sides was once regarded as the most "strong and weak" in the top eight, and there was indeed the only game in the four matches that could be called "complete victory and defeat", but the target of victory and defeat was different from people's previous estimates. Bayern Munich also lost, but the unyielding Germans fought until the last minute and won respect. Inter Milan also lost 0 to 3, and it was the most disparity failure. But looking at the process of the game, they had a good chance to impress the game with another result, just because they didn't grasp it well, let alone Lyon was Losing in a roulette-like penalty shootout, among the four losers, the only one who did not win was Juventus.
Similarly, they don't have the vitality to kick.
Piero said after the game: "I don't think we are worse than Liverpool in the two rounds."
But in fact, except for Juventus, anyone would think that Liverpool's performance in the two rounds is more successful, and the Juventus game is only the last 30 minutes of the first round, accounting for one-sixth of the 180-minute contest. You know, it was the change of Serie A schedule and the 30 minutes of the harsh schedule of the Premier League "given" to Juventus.
No matter how Juventus performed, in short, Benitez became the final winner!
The away draw with Juventus 1-0. Liverpool reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League with a 3-1 victory in the first round. Their opponent in the semi-finals will be Chelsea.
This will also be the first English derby in the history of the Champions League semi-finals!
For Liverpool, there are still a lot of games to play in April. They don't have time to consider the Champions League semi-finals, but Benitez is very happy. No one is optimistic about Liverpool without Don Jack, but now Benitez has done it. Even Gerald is injured in the second round, but Liverpool still succeeds. Eliminate Juventus.
"I hope to use this victory to express my gratitude to my coaching staff and all the staff of the club, as well as to the fans who faithfully support us. This is a proud moment for me and the players. It was a very difficult season, but we finally reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is very important. I'm very excited. I'm not surprised by such a result and our wonderful performance, because I already know that my players have gone through extremely hard training, and we have worked together for it.
Liverpool has reached the top four of the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Benitez said, "We have carefully studied Juventus. Their midfield is very strong, so we limit our opponents in this area and force them to make more long passes. When the opponent passes, what we have to do is to organize the defense."
Speaking of his rival Chelsea two weeks later, Benitez said: "I know that our performance in the league is not stable enough, which is not good. But in the Champions League, we still have confidence. Now, our next opponent is Chelsea, who has performed well this season. We have nothing to lose, only what we can win.
Finally, the Spaniard did not forget to give the honor to their players again: "This game is a fantastic victory for us, and I am satisfied with everyone's performance on the court. The whole team is working hard. They are all heroes. It can be said that this is an excellent and complete team. We implemented our tactics very well and dragged the front line longer to control the game. Juventus, on the other hand, failed to mention the rhythm of the game. We used our own efforts to stop our opponents.
For himself, Benitez said: "As a club coach with a good record in European competitions, I am very proud to be a coach of Liverpool, hoping to add a more brilliant stroke to my coaching career."
These are all said at the post-match press conference, but in fact, more English journalists want to ask when Don Jack will be banned!!
However, Benitez refused to answer this question. The Spaniard is very stubborn. He insists that he should maintain his majesty, and the time of the ban is indispensable. As long as he can lead the team to victory, then the brunette boy is at most a icing on the cake. Without him, Liverpool will be the same. Win the victory.
This is the most critical!
"Jack is very strong, but Liverpool is a team team, and we don't lack a single player!" Benitez said so.
In this regard, a reporter interviewed Don Jack, who is still training in the reserve team.
"I don't pass the ball on the court? Or do I not do well to make him think I'm a 'single' player? Don Jack shook his head and said, "In fact, I just have a conflict with Carragher, but now that guy is still in the first team and starts every game, but I'm in the reserve team. I just think Mr. Benitez discriminates against me.
Discrimination!?
is really a new term.
Benitez quickly replied, "Discrimination? How come? Who wouldn't like such a powerful player as Jack? But he is too stubborn!"
"Who the hell is stubborn!" Don Jack is helpless.
Benitez took out the coach's air: "Liverpool is my team. I can play whoever I want to play! Liverpool is a football team, a team, not a player! I'm the head coach of Liverpool, and I have the right to decide who will play!"
"Of course, so I'm training in the reserve team now. He is very dignified."
"The reserve team is also a Liverpool team! You should also train well in the reserve team, which is the quality of professional players!"
Don Jack said, "Am I not training normally?"
"I mean his attitude! There is something wrong with his attitude!"
"What's wrong with my attitude?"
Benitez replied, "His attitude is not correct! I can't see my fault at all! I think he should reflect on himself in the reserve team!"
Jack Don was really impatient. He just said, "Whatever, I'm doing well in the reserve team. I think other teams will welcome me next season!" He really doesn't have the interest in having a war of words with Benitez.
Neither of them is talking now, and they just nodded coldly when they meet. The contradiction between Don Jack and Liverpool, from fighting with Carragher, has reached the biggest conflict with Benitez. This situation is really strange, but the truth is that this Spaniard is not ordinary stubbornness and paranoia. He believes that he should reflect his majesty and hopes to adjust the contradictions of the team. In Benitez's idea, Don Jack admitted his mistake and returned to the first team to participate in the game, but obviously Benitez's ability to deal with the relationship within the team is not strong. He can only want to conquer the media with his ability again and take public opinion again and again. More importantly, let Don Jack and the whole Liverpool see his ability and choose to trust him, as if the earth should revolve around him. Don Jack is already tired of this kind of person.
After a war of words with Benitez, Don Jack strengthened his determination to leave Liverpool.
