Chapter 378 No Jack, No Attack 1
European Champions League semi-final: Chelsea vs Liverpool!
"... This will be a boring game. Liverpool without Jack can only choose to defend, and Chelsea has never attacked!" Before the game, The Sun commented that they praised the performance of several teams in the Premier League this season. It is rare to stage an English civil war in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. However, The Sun is not optimistic about the enjoyment of the game. They think that Liverpool without Don Jack will not attack, and Benitez can only choose to be conservative. The defensive tactics, while Mourinho's Chelsea, which always has a one-to-zero goal, will only fight defensive counterattacks, but the England game at Stamford Bridge is not interesting.
This season, Chelsea and Liverpool always have endless words.
The two teams have played against each other twice. Chelsea won once and Liverpool won once. But before the game, Benitez may be because Don Jack's suspension is still two days away from a month, which makes his head a little confused, or the recent rumors of Don Jack's transfer makes Benitez feel that Don Jack's heart has left. In short, in short, The Spaniard insisted on leaving Don Jack in Liverpool and taking the list of other serious injuries to the game.
Don Jack is very indifferent, but the other Liverpool players are a little annoyed!
The last time it was due to a quarrel with Carragher, and this time Benitez is a little unspeakable without Don Jack. Don Jack is also a member of Liverpool anyway. Now in the face of such an important game, it is a waste of him to stay at Anfield, and many Liverpool players also hope that this season can After winning this important championship, Don Jack will stay at Anfield, and Liverpool's strength will decline a lot.
"Jack's suspension is not over yet. I insist that he will not play in the game."
In an interview with reporters, Benitez said, "The current situation of the team is very good. I don't want anything to happen to him because of his return. I am confident that I will lead the team to eliminate Chelsea."
But other reporters and fans don't believe that Liverpool lost too many games in April, and it seems to be really nothing to lose such a May match.
"Benitez is joking about Liverpool's championship!" In response to this, German football emperor Beckenbauer commented: "That middle-aged man is really stubborn. I think a player like Jack will be the core of the team no matter where he is, but he makes Jack have no ball to play. If Jack is willing to come to Bayern, I will definitely recommend him to become the absolute core of the team..."
Even Chelsea coach Mourinho joked, "No Jack? I should thank him, because I can happily recall the first half of the year with them..." Mourinho obviously referred to Liverpool's first match with Chelsea. The two teams ended up playing bis 0. Chelsea won easily with two goals. Don Jack did not play in that game. As a result, Liverpool did not play well in the whole game.
It is obviously ironic for the Portuguese to say so, but it makes it even more impossible for Benitez to bring Don Jack to the game, otherwise he will not be able to lead the team to 'revenge'. In the game that Don Jack participates in, even if it wins, it is only the victory of Don Jack alone. From this point of view, Benitez insists insists on not taking it. Jack Don naturally has his reason.
But anyway, Don Jack must not be able to play.
This makes many fans who want to watch the English Civil War lose interest. Think about it, what's the point of arriving at a home team with the purpose of defensive counterattack against a visiting team that is not offensive... However, the Milan Sport believes that this will be a wonderful strong dialogue. Everyone thinks that Liverpool is weak, but in fact, Liverpool, without Don Jack, still easily eliminated Juventus. As for their poor record in the recent period, it is probably related to losing the league championship. Liverpool is afraid I'm afraid that I won't play well in the league, and the match between Chelsea and Liverpool, the Premier League rivals, must be very attractive.
Not only the Milan Sport, but also the English Civil War in the European semi-finals, which is rare, has a lot of media attention, especially the English media. They are analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams. Tony, a famous British columnist who writes football reviews. Geller specially made a comparative analysis of the six king-level stars who will appear in the red and blue armies.
So, which of them is stronger and stronger?
The first comparison is from the midfield: Gerrard VS Lampard
Gerrard is a more comprehensive midfielder. He can be the core of the midfield organization and can act as an attacker. His performance in the England national team is the best proof of this.
Although there is the suppression of Jack's performance, Gerard's performance this season is still as good as last season. Last season's excellent performance can be said to have sent Liverpool to the Champions League.
Although other Reds players have been under the shadow of Jack this season, Gerrard is still the backbone of the team. It can be said that the Reds have come to the present in the Champions League, which is inseparable from Gerrard's contribution. No wonder Chelsea has been coveting him.
Lampard is perfect this season. He has become the well-deserved king of midfielders for the Blues, and he is definitely the best offensive midfielder in Europe. Chelsea has made great contributions to winning the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule. However, compared with Gerrard, Lampard still lacks organizational ability in the midfield. He is more like a shadow striker.
The second competition comes from the forward line: Barros VS Drogba
Baroche is best at competing with the opponent's last defender. Anti-outside is his strength. If he gets the best chance, he should be more likely to break than Drogba, but obviously, Baroche's performance this season is somewhat disappointing. With Jack, Benitez rarely sends him to play, no Recently, Barosh's efficiency is still very high. In fact, he was the best scorer in last year's European Cup.
Drogba is a strong center!
Some people say that Chelsea lost money by buying Drogba because he always wastes opportunities in front of the goal. However, when Chelsea signed Drogba, they did not want a striker who is technically sophisticated and can cause the most trouble for the opponent in front of the goal. On the contrary, the reason why the Blues bought Drogba may value his breakthrough ability and the opponent's ball more. The ability to bombard the door and make the opponent lose the ball by mistake. In fact, as far as this task is concerned, Drogba has completed well this season.
The third comparison from the back line: Haipia VS Terry
Now Hepiia's state must have declined compared with when he first joined Liverpool, but his partner with Carragher is more tacit, and their combination will also be the key to Liverpool's ability to keep the score. More importantly, Haipia needs to be more careful when defending the ball.
Terry has just been elected as the Premier League Player of the Year. The Chelsea defense he guards is indeed watertight. In addition to Lampard's bravery, Terry's defense is like a Zhenhai needle, which is also one of the important factors for Chelsea to win the league championship in advance. Although some people say that Terry's turning speed is not fast enough when defending, as a defender, defensive awareness should be the most important thing. Predicting the next move of the opponent's striker in advance and preparing for defense in time is Terry's specialty. Moreover, Terry's defensive moves are very clean and standardized, and he rarely fouls. In addition, there is no defender in the Premier League who is better able to read the game than Terry.
Tony. Galle believes that even without Don Jack, the Reds are not inferior to Chelsea in the midfield. Liverpool, who has the soul of Gerrard, may still have a certain advantage, but on the defensive line, he believes that Chelsea's defense is much more stable, while the Reds' defense is weaker.
Such a professional comment makes the voice of Benitez much lower.
"I will be a qualified audience and cheer for the team in Liverpool!" In the interview, Don Jack said with a smile. In fact, Jack Don has been thinking about it for a long time. Anyway, he is doomed to leave the team. Now whether he doesn't play or not, he completely obeys the coach's arrangement. If he plays, he will perform well. It doesn't matter if he doesn't play. It's best for the team to win the championship. If he can't win the championship, it doesn't matter at all.
Anyway, I'm only 20 years old!
You can't win the championship now, and there are still many opportunities to win it in the future. Compared with other players, they have countless advantages, and there is no need to worry about the championship at all. What I want is just a good football environment, a group of good teammates and a team that fully supports me.
