Chapter 158 The King of Engineers
Both sides held their breath to beat each other to the ground.
Especially Manchester United is at home, and they don't want to lose. They put on a posture at the beginning of the game, trying to swallow Liverpool in one gulp.
Kai Sa did not play two games, one league game and one Champions League game. He was already suffocated, and he began to attack Liverpool's defense as soon as he came up.
However, Benitez seemed to be particularly experienced. He had already made arrangements to raise the entire defense line by 5-10 meters. Kaisa's sprint space became smaller, and he was farther away from the opponent's goal, which was difficult to work.
The problem Ronaldo faces is the same. As long as he gets the ball, there will be a Liverpool player following him, and there will be a defense not far away.
He and Kaisa passed the ball to each other a few times. Kaisa didn't have enough space and was very depressed, so he had to pass back to the midfield organization.
The first wave of attacks came back in vain, and the blitz was ineffective.Ferguson has been frowning, and today he feels that he has met a strong opponent.
Benitez is a recognized tactical master. Among other things, raising the defense line to deal with Kaisa and Ronaldo is very annoying.Kaisa felt restrained for the first time, kicked quite uncomfortable, and couldn't play the best role.
In fact, Benitez has a good coaching ability. When he was in Valencia, he won two La Liga titles in three years and successfully won food from Real Madrid and Barcelona.He also won the UEFA Cup and won the 2005 Champions League when he was in Liverpool, which can be played for a lifetime.
If it weren't for the psychological tactics of losing to Ferguson in the Premier League in 2008, he would probably have one more Premier League champion, and the merits will be complete.
Benitez can crush Mourinho, what do you think of his level?Mourinho's Chelsea can't please Liverpool here.According to the original historical development, this year's Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool will face Chelsea, Liverpool successfully entered the final, of course, Mourinho had been fired at that time.
Now Ferguson feels depressed. In this game, Benitez's tactical arrangement is obviously superior. Not to mention suppressing Manchester United's midfielder, it also makes it impossible for Kesa and Ronaldo to play. No matter from which aspect, it is enough Benitez is proud.
Manchester United also kept adjusting on the field. Ferguson had arrangements before the game. Now Gary Neville is commanding the defense, gradually retreating, and the midfielder strengthens protection.
Kai Sa and Ronaldo waited for an opportunity to fight back, and the opponent's defense line was raised. They counterattacked and fought back with more space. Even if Reina had eight arms, he couldn't stop Kai Sa and Ronaldo's counterattack.
Giggs was watching from the bench, and his expression was not good. In all fairness, if he was on the court, he would not be able to solve the problem. Liverpool did a very good job today.Of course, if you add Rooney and the impact of the front trident, Liverpool will lose sight of the other.
Alonso and Hargreaves ran non-stop, covering the entire midfield. Their tasks today were very heavy. One was to limit the performance of Keza and Ronaldo, and the other was to pass the ball to Gerrard's feet smoothly.
In Benitez's arrangement, Hargreaves and Alonso in the midfield are at the back, Hargreaves covers horizontally, and anyone who wants to break through must face him, while Alonso controls the rhythm and sends forward. The ball, dispatch the offense.
In the first 15 minutes of the game, this tactic was quite successful, and Manchester United's invincible attack was hindered.
In Kaisa's previous life, Manchester United fans had a good impression of Hargreaves, because the years when he played well were when Manchester United won the Champions League. In the 2008 Champions League final, Hargreaves played very well.
This player has obvious characteristics. He has great physical strength, can't run to death, has a large defensive coverage, intercepts quite well, and has a good mental quality. He can score penalties, unlike other England players.
But his passing is average and his organizational skills are even worse. He can only be a midfield butcher and defensive champion. It is impossible for him to sort out the midfield.
In the summer, Ferguson also wanted to buy him, but the team already had Mascherano and Mikel, as well as Fletcher trained by himself, so the defensive midfielder was enough.In addition, Kaisa has consumed a transfer fee of 4000 million pounds in one breath, and has no money.
Benitez also likes Hargreaves and can play his role well.It should be said that Master Bei likes players with characteristics. Now Liverpool's midfield trio, Alonso, Hargreaves and Gerrard, have their own characteristics, but Master Bei can make them perform well and be perfect. compatible.
Putting Alonso next to the midfielder, sorting out the attack, and putting Gerrard in front to threaten the opponent's defense is simply a perfect partner.
This group of midfielders gives Kaisa the feeling that it is stronger than the three midfielders of Gerrard, Alonso and Mascherano.Hargreaves is the king of engineers, the perfect jigsaw puzzle for the giants, and now in Liverpool, he feels quite healthy.
Manchester United was a bit passive. After Gary Neville commanded the defense line back, he found that the problem was more serious.
Gerrard's short-range sprint advantage was fully utilized, and Dirk Dirk, the sapper in the engineering world, could also harass Manchester United's defense.Even the ordinary Pennant and Cenden were alive and well.
Obviously, Benitez also arranged tactics in this regard, and Alonso played his biggest role.
Manchester United Scholes tackle foul, the referee did not give a yellow card, escaped unharmed.In less than 1 minute, Carrick was broken by Gerrard again and fell to the ground.
Gerrard couldn't get past Ferdinand, so he quickly passed the ball to the side of Dirk, who leaned on Gary, cut inside, and then passed back.
It was a time difference, Ferdinand came back to his senses, a little gap appeared between the two central defenders, and he was caught.
Gerrard plugs in behind and blasts the door hard!
Gerrard's favorite way to shoot.Van der Sar made a perfect save, went down and played the ball brilliantly.
The ball bounced out, and Pennant and Kaisa went up to grab the second point together. Kaisa got stuck first, squeezed Pennant away, and then slammed forward vigorously.
Ronaldo has started, very fast, a man like the wind.Evra also plugged in, ready to respond to Ronaldo's pass.
Ronaldo successfully received Kaisa's pass, the strength was just right, he didn't need to adjust, and continued to sprint.But Hargreaves quickly shifted laterally, blocking Ronaldo's eyes.
Ronaldo lowered his head and made a series of dazzling movements under his feet, but Hargreaves didn't like this, watching him dance, he suddenly stepped down and poked the ball out.
Evra kept stomping on the bottom line. If he came along just now, and he passed back to the middle, Ronaldo and Kesa would both have a chance.
Kaisa was also very depressed. After finally rushing up, the ball was gone.Fortunately, Scholes grabbed the ball and moved to the right to Kesa.
Kaisa stopped his pace and turned to cut inside. Hargreaves immediately fouled and gave Kaiza no chance to cut inside even for a free kick.
Ferguson scolded directly, "This baby is bald, very powerful."
Benitez is very satisfied with the performance of the players, "Kesa can't show him all the threatening moves, that's it."
Benitez is also a bit annoyed. If Hargreaves has enough pass and cut and fast transfer of the ball, Liverpool will still have a greater advantage and may even score ahead of time.
Scholes took a set kick, Kesa grabbed the front point and shot directly, but he was not strong enough and was saved by Reina.
"It can't go on like this. The more the defensive line retreats, the more passive it will be. It's better to move forward and press Liverpool to play. Maybe it's better." Kesa suggested to Gary Neville when he was preparing for a corner kick.
"Their line of defense is advanced, we retreat, it is more difficult to play, we also advance, fight in the midfield, I also retreat to support, Ronaldo is at the front, the same formation as Liverpool." Kai Sa licked the corner of his mouth, he decided to follow Bei Nitus gambled as much.
Benitez likes gambling tactics very much. The tactics in a single game are simply invincible. Cup matches are easy to produce results, but the league often loses the chain. Liverpool's tradition of robbing the rich and giving to the poor took shape at this time.
