"Don't worry, boss, let's cover it with me." Although Benitez is just a new coach who is just a new coach, it is obvious that Gerald still respects the Spanish coach very much. "Believe me, I will do my best to use a victory as the team's new season!"

Unlike former coach Hollier who promoted Gerald to the first team but only used him as a defensive midfielder, Benitez's first thing he did after picking up Liverpool's coaching stick was to liberate Gerald, who was bound to the midfielder, and at the same time, he used Gerald as the core to design tactics around him!

If you treat me as a national soldier, I should repay you with a national soldier! For Benitez, who values ​​him so much, Gerald naturally wants to use victory to repay the head coach's trust!

Just as Gerald vowed to promise Benitez that he would win the new season for Liverpool, George was also making the final pre-match mobilization in the home team's locker room!

"Didier (Drogba), your task is very difficult in this game. Be sure to suppress the middle defense of Hepia and Carragher, and keep them focused on you as much as possible, and give Chris (Cross Ronaldo) and Frank (Ribery) the chance to shoot afterwards. Also, remember to come back and participate in the defense when necessary to reduce the defensive pressure in the midfield."

In this offensive system carefully created by George, Drogba, who is in the center, is an extremely critical link, and his importance is even second only to Xavi Alonso, the midfield commander. The Ivorian Warcraft not only needs to destroy cities and villages on the front line and shoulder the heavy responsibility of scoring, but also have to watch the six directions and listen to all directions, provide support for teammates as a tactical fulcrum, and also retreat to participate in defense at any time during the game!

That is, Drogba's physical fitness group, if he was replaced by another short striker, he would probably have been exhausted long ago - this is not what he is trying to make their current striker? He is clearly building an all-around warrior who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts!

"No problem!" Drogba not only did not think it was a burden for the task that George had assigned him, but was overjoyed and immediately patted his chest to agree. In Drogba's opinion, isn't the coach willing to arrange so many jobs for him because he recognizes his abilities?

Therefore, it is really a blessing for George and Tottenham to have players like Drogba who do not pursue data and are willing to be a green leaf.

"Xavi (Alonso), Patrice (Evra), this is your first British game. Take it easy, don't be under too much pressure, just swing normally. After all, the British style of play is different from the La Liga and Ligue 1 you played in before. The game is faster, well, and the way of playing is more rough." After reminding the arrangements again, George called Alonso and Evra to his side to give the two people a face-to-face shot, so as to avoid being caught off guard by his opponent when he arrived on the court. "So, I won't ask too much for you, as long as you can exert your advantage."

"Boss, you can't help but underestimate our adaptability?" After hearing George's instructions, Alonso couldn't help laughing, "No more, Patrice played against Chelsea in the semi-finals last season, and he already knew the style of the English team's football. Real Sociedad also faced Juventus head-on in the Champions League group stage last season, and even that level of defense could not limit me. What can a mere Liverpool do to me?"

Alonso's words are not aimless. Although the British League has not completely escaped from the influence of long passes and long-distance play at this time, physical confrontation is still the most intense among the five major European leagues, with the joint efforts of all parties, the frequency of barbaric defense and rough fouls in the game has been greatly reduced. Especially for top giants like Liverpool, for their own image, this phenomenon will naturally be eliminated more thoroughly!

So, Alonso was not too worried about Liverpool. Of course, if Tottenham's opponent in this game was Mirwall or Reading, who was known for his savage football, then the Spaniard would definitely be more careful.

"Good evening, everyone, this is Sky TV. I am Andy Gray, the commentator of this game. This is my partner Martin Taylor." When the players from both sides walked out of the player channel under the leadership of the referee, the golden combination of Sky TV, who was sitting in the live room, also began their commentary. "I'm glad to be able to explain this strong conversation here. I hope all viewers can enjoy a wonderful game tonight."

Although Tottenham's showdown with Liverpool is not as gimmick as the red and blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, it is also one of the most eye-catching games in this round of the British League. Therefore, Sky TV naturally sent this pair of best combinations to explain the game.

"There is still some time before the game begins, so let's take a look at the lineups of the two teams tonight." Seeing the players of both sides heading towards their respective halfs under the command of referee Howard Webber, in order to avoid a cold game, Andy Gray took the initiative to shift the topic to the roster. "Liverpool has set up a 4-4-2 parallel position formation, goalkeeper Dudek, right back Josemi, center back Carragher and Hypia, left back Riser, midfielders are Cowell, Harman, Gerrard and Finnan in turn, and on the front line are two-time Ligue 1 Golden Boot winners and new European Cup Golden Boot Barroche!"

Although Benitez is determined to win this game and hopes to use a victory to consolidate his position as coach at Anfield, he did not rashly change the tactical routine left by Hollier because he was eager to win. Because he knew very well that doing so would likely cause the entire team to be in chaos and thus trap him in!

Although the big frame left by Hollier cannot be overturned, it is still no problem to make certain modifications within this frame. For example, pushing Finnant to the right forward and liberating Gerald, etc. are all tactical experiments made by Benitez after taking over the position of Liverpool as coach.

The only drawback is that the midfield commander Xavi Alonso, who was scheduled by Benitez, was kidnapped by Tottenham, resulting in the current Liverpool still having serious shortcomings in controlling the rhythm of the game. This is also the point that Benitez is most worried about - without a suitable midfield commander, it is difficult for Gerald to maximize the power of the offensive end, and Liverpool also finds it difficult to achieve the two key points of orderly offensive and relaxed in the game.

Benitez doesn't have a good solution to this. He can only hope that Harman can be more powerful in this game, not only appearing on the court as a midfielder, but also being better able to transform into a midfielder like Redondo or Vieira who has both offense and defense!
