"Hoo, ho!" By the time Li Yi and Balotelli changed their clothes and ran to the training ground, the other Liverpool players had been waiting for them for a long time!
In view of this, even Rogers, who had always had a very good impression of Li Yi, felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Li Yi came late to the training class even though he knew how important it was today!
He frowned slightly, and before Li Yi, who was running over, could stand still, Rogers asked Li Yi displeasedly, "Artus, what's going on between you and Mario? I wonder if there is a training session this afternoon?"
"
"I'm sorry, coach." He opened his mouth and was about to explain that he actually went to do something good at noon. However, Li Yi then thought about it and thought that if he told this matter, he would not be able to protect himself and would make Rogers hate him even more.
Why? You, Li Yi, just stopped eating the nutritious meal designated by the coach for one day. Didn’t it make Rogers unable to get off stage even more?
Therefore, Li Yi felt that it would be better to be single and admit his mistake directly.
Glancing at Li Yi and Balotelli, Rogers waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you and Mario go warm up. I'll give you five minutes."
"Thank you, coach!" He continued to express his sincere thanks to Rogers, and Li Yi pulled Balotelli, who was still gasping for breath and had not recovered, and ran towards the court together.
----------------------------------
In this way, an intra-squad match between Liverpool team A and team B was delayed by 5 minutes from the original time due to the late arrival of Li Yi and Balotelli.
After the game started, Rogers looked at the players on the field intently, making sure to take all the performances of the players he cared about into his mind, because any problem found during training would most likely clear up a path of instability for future games.
Factor, there is no reason for Rogers not to be serious.
Unknowingly, most of the first half of the match had passed, and Rogers, who was aiming to observe the players, was a little disappointed to be honest.
First of all, in the first half of the game, because Team A had the dual-core midfielder Li Yi and Gerrard, the overall offense was very inconsistent.
Because for the time being, after the defender intercepts the ball, it is not yet certain whether it is better to pass the ball to Li Yi? Or whether it is better to pass it to Gerrard?
Secondly, when they really have no choice, they choose a nearby player to pass the ball. Whether it is Li Yi or Gerrard, there will be a slight pause after receiving the ball.
It seems that not only the defense, but also the dual-core Li Yi and Gerrard have not integrated into their roles.
The offense could not be opened up, and the defensive performance of team A was even more unsatisfactory. Although in the one-on-one competition, the four defenders of team A did not suffer much, but when it came to the overall situation, they were basically beaten by team B no matter what.
Therefore, although Team A was leading 3-2 in the first half, Rogers was not happy at all. If the main lineup were to play the new season in this state, Rogers could be sure that there would be nothing left.
Since on the whole, Rogers no longer dares to give any hope, in the remaining time, Rogers can only focus most of his energy on Li Yi, Liverpool's default core for the new season, praying that through Li Yi's performance
Play and find some comfort.
Seeing Li Yi once again lose in the physical collision with Moutinho, Rogers frowned tightly.
Judging from Li Yi's performance in the past 40 minutes, Rogers felt something indescribable.
You said that Li Yi's performance was not good. He scored a goal with a free kick, an assist, and a long pass to set up a goal. To say it was perfect would not be an exaggeration.
But to say that Li Yi performed very well? Rogers disagreed.
Although Li Yi played very smartly on the court and tried his best to avoid physical contact with the opponent. However, no matter how much Li Yi could avoid, there would be times when he would collide head-on with the opponent.
But at these times, Li Yi's performance is not so satisfactory!
Moutinho and Meireles, after finding out Li Yi's physical condition in an accidental collision, almost tried their best to use foul moves to get a shot with Li Yilai.
Although Li Yi was able to safely transfer the ball in many collisions with the opponent without making any mistakes. But in this way, the offensive rhythm of team A was directly cut off, and Moutinho and Mei
Relais’ goal has been achieved!
The fast break was ineffective, the positional battle lacked coordination, and the power was not very good. The first half of the match ended in a stalemate between the two sides.
The score still remained at 3 to 2, with team A leading.
The B team is almost entirely made up of Liverpool veterans, so there is no problem with coordination. Double midfielders Moutinho and Meireles are also the main players of the Portuguese national team, and they have a tacit understanding. Therefore, during the interval between the first and second half of the game, Rogers gave B a little compliment.
After the team played well, they went straight to Li Yi and others.
After the A-team players finished their round of siege, Rogers slowly said, "How do you think you played in the first half of the game?"
"Uh..." How was the game in the first half? The players present were all professional players, so they knew it well, but if they had to tell them that they were not good in front of the coach, it would be hard to lose face.
Therefore, the scene fell into a state of silence for a while.
"Cough, cough!" Seeing that no one in the crowd was so arrogant as to call something bad a good thing, Rogers coughed twice and was about to give some advice to his disciples. Who knows, a discordant voice sounded one step ahead of him.
"I think the reason why we couldn't open up the score in the first half of the game was because my teammates didn't give me enough support!"
"!!" Like his teammates, Li Yi was shocked at first after hearing the content of this sentence, and then instinctively turned around to find the owner of the voice.
Okay, actually, Li Yi didn't even need to find him. He just turned around and looked at the Ba Shen who held his head high and felt good about himself, fearing that others wouldn't know that it was him who just spoke. Li Yi knew that the person who just uttered the arrogance must be
It's him!
Also, at this time, who dares to say this, who is the God of Sheba?
"Cough, cough!" His words were interrupted. Rogers was waiting to see who was so bold. But when he saw Balotelli's expression, Rogers felt that Lei Zhen introduced this Balotelli just for fun.
his?
Seeing that Rogers was speechless by what he said, Bashen curled his lips and continued, "Coach, I'm telling the truth! If Artus could send two more through balls like I scored, I would have scored in the first half
Easy hat trick!”
After staring at Balotelli for about a minute, seeing that Balotelli was so serious, Rogers touched his head painfully, and then ignored Balotelli and said, "Forget it, we don't care about him, let me talk to you."
The first half of the game was deficient!”
"Artus, you are the core of the team's offense. When attacking, try to move forward as much as possible. Don't always think about cooperating with Steven. Also, what's going on with your body? You look very strong.
Why can't you hit those two guys? I'll ask a doctor to help you find out what's going on after the game is over."
"Steven, although Artus is the core, if the defense passes the ball to you, you don't need to worry too much when counterattacking. Just play the ball quickly like before."
"Thiago, have you played as a central defender all these years in vain? Although the two goals conceded were both conceded by Daniele, what were you doing at the time? Why didn't you make up for it?..."
"Olic, your mission is to run more. I put you in the A team, not just to watch a show. Run more, open up more gaps, and create opportunities for your teammates or yourself!"
"Daniele, you have to remember your current position, which is a central defender, not a midfielder. When the team attacks, you don't need to rush too far forward! What I want is you in the European Cup!"
"Marco, after you got the ball from the wing, you were too clingy to the ball. Don't be too obsessed with your own skills. You should cooperate more with your teammates..."
"Kaka, what were you doing in the first half? Are you sleepwalking? Have you ever counted how many times you touched the ball in the first half? As a midfielder, you have been playing for so many years. What should you do without me?
Please elaborate further?"
…
With a crackle, like pouring beans, Rogers approving all nine members of Team A, except Balotelli and Adler, from top to bottom, left, and right.
And after saying so much, even Rogers felt his mouth was dry.
He picked up a bottle of mineral water from his feet and drank half of it. Rogers continued, "You have to remember that Artus is the core of Liverpool's offense. In the second half, when the defense turns to offense, if there are no special circumstances, I ask you to
The first time, put the ball at the feet of Artus."
"Okay, everyone comes on stage, it's game time!..."
In the second half of the game, after being severely criticized by Rogers, Team A's performance improved greatly from the first half, at least in terms of offense, because their thinking was unified and their fluency was greatly improved.
The strength was there, and after the tactics were clear, Team A soon expanded the score to 5 to 2.
Seeing this, Rogers finally nodded with satisfaction.
Regarding Li Yi's body, Rogers has prepared n sets of plans for him, striving to train Li Yi well before the start of the new Premier League season.
Seeing that the team's offensive problem was no longer too big, Rogers stood on the sidelines and waved his hand, signaling Team A to take the initiative to recover and practice defense!
After playing the last 10 minutes of the game, Rogers discovered that the four defenders of the team, after being reminded by himself, paid attention to some supplementary positions, but due to lack of tacit understanding, they still made several small mistakes during the game that they should not have made.
.
However, for Rogers, the team's defense can have a rough prototype, which is already a big start.
"It seems that the only remaining problem is to be adjusted slowly!" He looked down at his watch and found that the game time had arrived. Rogers said to himself with some unfinished thoughts.
Closing the notebook filled with tactics in his hands, Rogers left the field first without waiting for his assistant to blow the whistle to end the game.
After this intra-team match, he had many new ideas for the team's lineup. In the subsequent friendly matches, Rogers wanted to try them out one by one.
And the time is not too far away, because Liverpool's first friendly match will start in a week.
At that time, the Red Army will sit at Anfield at home and face the challenge of the English Championship team Leeds United!
