Chapter 214 Worthy of being a world-class marshal Chapter 4 [Thinkers in the Cloud] Wan Bu
"Lucas and Babel are not the kind of players who are good at and like to defend. Lucas obviously wants to score today and has a strong desire to attack. I believe Carlos' goal will stimulate the Brazilian," said Li Ang.
, His words drew knowing laughter from Banderas and Mihajlovic.
"I estimate that Benitez will not make substitutions or adjustments for the time being after the start of the second half, because their current lineup is inherently offensive. Babel will continue to stay on the court. Their task is to attack, attack, and then attack. You guys
Look at Liverpool's squad, is there a real defensive player?"
Banderas and Mihajlovic thought for a while, and their eyes lit up. Leon didn't say that they hadn't noticed yet. Gerrard and Xavi Alonso were both capable of attacking and defending, which caused them problems.
It gave the illusion that Liverpool's midfield defensive ability is at least not bad. However, now after Li Ang's analysis, when Liverpool must strengthen their offense, players like Gerrard, Alonso and Lucas
The combination seems good, but the real defensive effect may not be that good.
The iron triangle of Alonso, Gerrard and Mascherano is considered to be one of the strongest midfield trios in Europe. Liverpool people proudly claim that they have the strongest midfielder in Europe.
, However, there is a fatal thing about this combination, and that is the important role of Mascherano, who seems inconspicuous and does the dirty work!
Mascherano is suspended. Now, these Liverpool players do not have a true defensive midfielder. Alonso needs to focus more on organization and scheduling, and Gerrard needs to participate more in the offense.
Not to mention Babel, his contribution in defense was almost zero.
***********
"If I were Benitez, I would let Lucas defend full-time!" Banderas said. His task is to fill in the gaps and raise questions for Li Ang's reference.
"Okay, let's not talk about whether Lucas is at ease and dedicated to defense." Li Ang shrugged, "But how can he alone defend against the attacks of Modric, Arshavin, Mata and Milito? In fact, we
The two goals in the first half clearly illustrate the problem. After our continuous passes, Liverpool's defense focused on one thing and the other."
Banderas and Mihajlovic both nodded, and that was indeed the case.
Later, Li Ang summoned the players for a training session.
He first praised Arshavin, not only because Arshavin's goal helped Inter Milan open the scoring, in fact, the best performance of Inter Milan in the entire first half of the game was Arshavin. During Inter Milan's second goal
, if it weren't for Reina's outstanding performance, Arshavin would have scored with his first shot.
Of course, Arshavin's outstanding performance was due to the help of his teammates. Mata, Aguero, Diego Milito or other players frequently interspersed and passed the ball, attracting the attention of Liverpool's defense.
Then he quietly left the sight of the Liverpool defenders, and no one noticed him. Perhaps because he has been playing in the Russian domestic league, the Russian international is not well-known in the European continent. Compared with Mata, Modric, Diego
For other Inter Milan players such as Go Milito and Aguero, Arshavin, who is not well-known, really lacks a sense of presence in the hearts of Liverpool defenders...
However, I believe that after his outstanding performance in the first half of the game, Benitez must have seen the important role of Arshavin in Leon's offensive tactics, and will pay special attention to Arshavin's defense in the second half of the game.
***********
"Andre! In the second half, it's time for you to cover for your partners." Leon said to Arshavin.
There was a burst of smiles in the locker room, and Arshavin also smiled and nodded and said, "No problem!"
Li Ang's tactical changes in the second half of the game are very simple to say, and they are exactly the same as the tactics in the first half: Li Ang's tactics are to use Arshavin, who made Liverpool suffer so much in the first half, to attract the attention of Liverpool defenders
, covering for others, while Mata, as well as Modric and Diego Milito, the three offensive players, turned into real killer moves at this time.
Li Ang's tactic is to have one person cover for multiple people. Once an opportunity arises, Inter Milan will even appear to be playing more and less on the offensive end, creating a thunderous blow to Liverpool.
"What if Liverpool strengthens their marking on Mata and others?" Mihajlovic raised his hand and asked. He has obtained a coaching certificate and is eager to coach a team alone one day. Therefore, he cherishes such a position with Li Ang.
The opportunity to learn in front of a world-class coach, Li Ang did not hide anything from Mihajlovic. This was a reward for Mihajlovic: before, when Li Ang just coached Inter Milan, Mihajlovic
Qi was taken down, and it was basically difficult to get a chance to play. However, old Miha never complained and actively cooperated. Later, he offered to retire early. After joining Li Ang's coaching staff, he also worked diligently.
"Then we will return to the tactics of the first half." Li Ang shrugged.
Mihajlovic was stunned, wasn't that what he was like? He suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up to Li Ang, admiring him endlessly: He is indeed a world-class coach! He is so awesome!
The players also laughed happily. Li Ang is the soul and backbone of Inter Milan. Seeing the coach so confident and strategizing, they felt extremely at ease.
***********
Meanwhile, in the Liverpool dressing room.
"We must attack in the second half. In this game, our most basic requirement at home is to win!"
"The score difference of zero to two is not insurmountable! They have one person less than us! In such a fierce game, they have one person less than us for an hour. This is a huge physical exertion and is bound to
A big impact on Inter Milan!" Benitez said.
Liverpool's players all nodded in approval.
"While attacking, we must also defend well. Therefore, adjustments must be made in the second half of the game. Players need to provide more defensive protection in the midfield and assume more defensive tasks!"
Lucas Reva immediately felt everyone's attention. Gerrard and Alonso wanted to participate more in the offense and could not devote more energy to defense. Then, only he could bear the responsibility of Mascherano.
Work on the field - protecting Alonso and Gerrard.
Sure enough, Benitez then issued an order for Lucas to fully defend in the second half of the game.
Although he still wants to participate in the offense, the head coach has spoken, and Lucas can only reluctantly accept this task: he will face Inter Milan's offensive group independently in the second half of the game.
Inexplicably, Lucas felt a little panicked...
