In England, the broadcast rights of the Premier League are handled by Sky TV, but the highlights are handled by BBC. In addition to live broadcasts of the game, many fans do not like to watch Sky TV programs, especially some old fans, because they are used to watching some BBC football programs.

For example, in Liverpool, many people choose to watch it. This is a TV program co-hosted by Liverpool celebrities Alan Hansen and Leinker. It usually plays some highlights, as well as some game analysis and comments.

After a routine start, they immediately conducted highlights and analysis of the 31st round of the Premier League.

"The best team in this round is undoubtedly Arsenal who beat Norwich 4-1 at home, and Henry scored a hat-trick. The most depressing team in this round must be Ferguson's Manchester United. They tied with Blackburn 0-0 at home."

"I reached the Champions League quarterfinals and was coincidentally drawn by UEFA. Liverpool and Chelsea are obviously trying to stay in the Champions League. Chelsea played one day earlier and beat Southampton away 3:1, while Liverpool beat Bolton 1:0 with Carrick's goal at home."

After Leinker finished analyzing, Alan Hansen added with a smile: "The ones who are truly qualified to win the championship are Chelsea and Liverpool. So even if these two teams have to fight on multiple fronts, they will not give up, because every game may be related to the ownership of a championship."

"Yes, that's right!" Leinker nodded, "Alan, I have always had a question. As the captain of the former Liverpool, how do you view this Liverpool team?"

"What do you think?" Alan Hansen thought for a while, "I just went to Liverpool a few days ago, met some old friends, and went to Sutton Bar again. Unfortunately, I didn't meet Yang Cheng, but I learned more or less about the situation from the mouths of some of my old friends, Darglish, Ian Rush and others."

"First of all, I agree with some opinions from the outside world. This is a Liverpool with unlimited potential and very strong. In the past two seasons, they have also played a very eye-catching football in the Premier League, but they are still far from the best. It's just that Yang Cheng has used his technical and tactical abilities to cover up Liverpool's shortcomings in some aspects."

"What about?" asked Reinker.

"For example, this team is too young and inexperienced," said Alan Hansen.

Leinker smiled slightly, "But everyone knows that the overall playing style emphasized by Yang Cheng minimizes individual defects."

"That was in the league, but in the European Champions League, the problem is not that simple. We can take a look. Except for Larson and Davis, no one in Liverpool has had the Champions League round of 8, or even further experience. Many of them even participated in the Champions League for the first time."

"In the group stage, this situation is not very obvious, but in the knockout round, the problem will become bigger. Liverpool played very smoothly in the Camp Nou, but at Anfield, they were disturbed by Barcelona's frontcourt pressing, and they lacked experience in dealing with this kind of scene."

"So, between Liverpool and Chelsea, aren't you optimistic about Liverpool?" Leinker was a little surprised.

Alan Hansen is a Liverpool celebrity. If he does not support Liverpool, what will Reds fans treat him?

"No, I definitely support Liverpool, but I think that if Liverpool wants to cross Chelsea, there must be many problems. Didn't the Daily Telegraph say it? Liverpool is like an insurmountable mountain standing in front of Liverpool, but I think Liverpool's biggest chance of winning is their head coach."

"King of Cups?" Leinker nodded, "Yang Cheng is indeed very good at playing cups. It's strange, why is this happening?"

"Because he has a strong targeted tactics, he has made very detailed preparations before the game." After a pause, Alan Hansen smiled and said: "Daglish told me that the two most powerful tactical analysts in Liverpool's coaching staff are Yang Cheng, who is good at attacking, and Benitez, who is good at defense and oppression."

"That chubby Spaniard who always stands beside Yang Cheng?" Leinker asked with a smile.

"It's him. The two have worked together for many years and have a very tacit understanding, so they can always play well in the Cup, but the league tests the overall strength of the team, which is why so far Liverpool lags behind Chelsea."

"The Blues, it's so powerful!" Leinker said with a smile.

"But this kind of strength does not have such obvious advantages in the knockout stage." Alan Hansen replied, "One of the biggest problems with Liverpool now is that Essim has enough potential due to the vacancy left by Davis after his injury, but has not yet replaced Davis' strength."

After a pause, Alan Hansen said with concern: "I think Barcelona's tactics at Anfield are likely to bring some alert to Chelsea. With Mourinho's chips in his hands, they are likely to play better than Barcelona. How to solve this kind of full-game press should become a problem that Yang Cheng has to overcome next."

"I think there is another hidden worry about Liverpool, which is Gerald's position!" Reinkell smiled and took over the topic.

Just after Chelsea defeated the Saints, Mourinho mentioned a name in the post-match press conference when facing the summer signings mentioned by reporters, he focused on a name, Liverpool's captain Gerald.

"Murinho said that Gerald's most suitable position should be in the Shadow Front, which was also the position he performed the best last season and scored the most goals, but now Yang Cheng pulls his position backwards to create space for the inward cutting of the two sides and keeps him away from the goal. I think the Portuguese is saying it well."

Alan Hansen nodded, but shook his head, "I agree with it very much. Gerald played very well in the position of the Shadow Front and played the best in his career. However, I always say the same thing. This is caused by the overall tactics. With the opportunities created by Liverpool, even if Gerald is not the Shadow Front but others, they still scored goals."

"As for Gerald's position, I noticed what Yang Cheng said once. He said that Gerald's biggest role on the court is not to score goals, but to his existence that allows us to feel stability. Therefore, many people say that Gerald has fewer goals this season, but I will answer that his role is even greater."

"It's kind of like Nedved!" said Reinker.

"The role is very similar, but the position and technical and tactical style are different."

"So, what about Chelsea?"

Alan Hansen laughed and asked back: "Does this team still have to comment? What should we say about a nearly perfect team? I think Chelsea's only shortcomings should be that in their center position, Good Johnson is not the first-class in Europe. In addition, they are even full of European first-class stars on the bench."

Ringkele laughed, "Relatively speaking, Chelsea's players are experienced and have more mature and outstanding abilities, and the Blues' overall combat capabilities are also very outstanding. I think the confrontation between these two teams is really interesting."

"Especially, it should be considered that in the next two weeks, Liverpool and Chelsea will have four matches, which will undoubtedly be a very exciting duel. Is Chelsea's Ruble Corps stronger? Or is Liverpool's youth guard better?" Alan Hansen looked expectant.

As a Liverpool legend, the strong rise of the Reds in the past two seasons has not only made fans feel excited but also the heroes are excited, especially considering the series of changes that Yang Cheng has brought to Liverpool.

"Alan and I are not professional head coaches, but maybe we can find some answers for all the audience from a series of Champions League laws, especially those fans who have always bought lottery tickets."

The first law, the red law, appeared on the TV screen, with an accuracy rate of 50%.

"Of all the 49 teams that won the Champions League, 28 were wearing red jerseys.

The second law, the law of the non-capital capital, has an accuracy rate of 50%.

"Apart from Real Madrid, who won the cup nine times, Amsterdam, who won the cup four times and Lisbon, who won the cup twice, no other Capital team has won the Champions League so far."

The third law, g14, accuracy rate is 70%.

"The g14 giants teams have won 80% of the 49 championships, especially since the Belgrade Red Stars defeated Marseille in 1991, only Kaiserslautern in 1999 performed a miracle and won the Champions League once. Almost all the others are in the g14's pocket. Coincidentally, the one who helped Kaiserslautern create a miracle is now Liverpool's head coach Yang Cheng."

After talking about these three laws, Leinkele laughed, "Maybe after reading these three laws, we can all analyze some situations in the Champions League knockout stage, especially the highly anticipated competition between Chelsea and Liverpool. I think if I want to buy a lottery, I will support Liverpool, although I think Chelsea is stronger."

…………

…………

Chelsea's lineup is very strong, and Yang Cheng has always understood this. Although Drogba and Robben are missing, Robinho and Quaresma are added, Crespo and Peron stay in the team. The current Chelsea team can be said to be stronger overall than in the same period in their previous lives.

But like the Chelsea team in Yang Cheng's previous life, the most powerful thing about this team is their midfield and backcourt.

In other words, their impeccable defense is the most troublesome thing.

So far in the Premier League, Chelsea has conceded 15 goals and Liverpool has 24. The defense of both teams is second to none in Europe, but Chelsea is undoubtedly better than Liverpool.

Yang Cheng always believes that no matter how outstanding the team is, there will be loopholes. Or, maybe you will try your best to cover up the loopholes, but I will use attacks and do everything possible to help you create loopholes.

To help the opponent create loopholes, you have to pull the opponent's defense line. To do this, you need to make a fuss on the side and make the attack width, so the importance of the two side roads is reflected.

After circling around, Yang Cheng still returned to the sidewalk.

Looking at the teams he coaches, they are usually equipped with wingers and a long pass midfielder to play width.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng couldn't help but look at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in the office. A player was practicing long-distance passing and stopping the ball against a wall on one side of the training ground.

He kicked the ball hard every time to see if it could hit somewhere on the wall as he wished. After bounce back, he hoped to stop the ball with a steady kick and kick it harder, and repeat it.

It is very interesting to watch this kind of training, because this kind of long-distance pass is really good, but it is especially different when Carrick's training, because he can draw the bows on his left and right feet.

Looking at today's football world, there are really few players who can play around 40 meters of accurate passes at the same time.

But even less, he is one of the few players so far, which makes Yang Cheng feel that he was misunderstood at the beginning.

For a long time, Yang Cheng has always relied on his memories of his past life and his understanding of football. He has almost never made any big mistakes in selecting players, and he can always find the most suitable and needed players for his team.

At the beginning, Yang Cheng wanted to be the organizer's position as the organizer, but he couldn't get the Spaniard and could only buy Carrick. But his idea at the time was to use it sloppy first, but what he didn't expect was that Carrick's performance surprised him.

His broad vision, good sense of position, excellent footwork, good defensive ability, and balanced left and right feet are all his advantages. The two major shortcomings he most doubted by Yang Cheng are: one is the support. After more than a year, he has made a lot of progress, and the other is to get rid of the ball and is also overcoming it.

Why did Yang Cheng make Gerald retreat more?

A very important reason is that Carrick lacks the ability to get the ball away, which makes him have enough ball outlets around him. After all, passing is easier than getting rid of himself, and it is not easy to make mistakes.

There was a Davis before, but the Dutch Wild Boars suffered frequent injuries this season. Essin, Arau Diyala and Harman were unable to show up in time to help him transition the ball and help him clear the ball when Carrick was starved. Therefore, Yang Cheng brought Geraldra back.

The biggest function of the player Gerald is to go straight up and down, be able to dribble the ball forward, be able to attack in the back row, and also retreat to participate in the defense. He can help Carrick transition and clearance, which indirectly enriches Liverpool's midfield routine, and Gerald's pass, especially the oblique pass from the middle to the two sides, is very good.

After forming a combination of Gerald and Carrick, Liverpool's midfielder has Carrick's large-scale pass and propulsion, as well as Gerald's ability to dribble and insert the ball and back-ins. What he lacks is a midfield defender with excellent coverage area and fill-in consciousness.

There are many defenders like this, Liverpool, Davis is the best candidate, and Essin, Harman and even Arau Diyala can all be competent.

If one of Carrick and Gerrard is absent, then Yang Cheng will let Ashawen and Murphy play in the middle, and Liverpool's midfield allocation and responsibilities will change again.

In Yang Cheng's view, Liverpool's lineup is basically the same. From the personnel configuration to the integration of technical characteristics, they have been well done. What is needed is the accumulation of experience and the improvement of players. This is why he said that Liverpool needs a big explosion after accumulating thinness.

For some time, he has been studying how to improve Liverpool's midfield offensive routines. He has always hoped to play the technical characteristics of each player as much as possible and play their role, such as Gerald's diagonal pass, such as the connection between left and right wingers, etc.

433 This set of tactics is different from previous tactics, especially the center forward retreat advocated by Yang Cheng, which makes the connection between the two left and right wingers very important, and can even be said to be the key.

The more Liverpool's offensive methods are, the harder it will be for Chelsea to defend.

There is no doubt that these games will definitely be high-intensity confrontation, and will also be a direct competition between Liverpool's offense and Chelsea's defense. Yang Cheng doesn't know who is better.

The head coach can only arrange tactics based on the cards he has on hand. The key is to see how much the players can play on the court, how well they are in the game, how much they are involved in, and whether they can fulfill the tactical requirements, etc.

Four matches against Chelsea will undoubtedly be a battle that determines Liverpool's performance this season.

It's a battle, not a war!

Just as Yang Cheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Carrick take advantage of the training and everyone resting while practicing passing and stopping the ball alone on the training ground, the latest Weibo update news came from the computer.

"Latest news, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho just accepted an interview with a reporter and announced that Chelsea will win Liverpool 2:0 at Anfield Stadium to avenge the 0:2 revenge at Stamford Bridge Stadium." This is the latest news from the Times.

After reading this piece of news, Yang Cheng smiled and immediately updated on Weibo.

"Murinho said that Liverpool beat Chelsea away was a coincidence, and I believe many fans think it is true, so in order to provide enough evidence to prove that we are better than Chelsea, I decided that we will beat Chelsea four more times this season."

"Although this matter is very difficult, because Chelsea is a very united and powerful team. It is difficult to beat them several times in a row, but because it is difficult, I think this is a very interesting challenge."

"We have enough foundation, and that is the basis for all our achievements. I hope all Liverpool players can gather together, unite, and exert our momentum so that Mourinho will never find any excuses to doubt our strength."

"In my opinion, we are more qualified to enter the semi-finals than anyone, any team, and get tickets to Istanbul!"
