Mascherano's injury had to advance Benitez's plan to train new tactics. After physical training, the team began tactical drills, especially for the new players. Benitez hopes that they can train as soon as possible.
Adapt to the team's tactics.
Benitez has very high expectations for Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres. He hopes that these two guys can adapt to his tactics as soon as possible. After all, Liverpool have spent a very large amount of money on these two guys. They
Of course I hope to be rewarded as soon as possible.
After a day or two of training, Qiu Ze has gradually become familiar with Liverpool's tactical play. In fact, Liverpool's tactical play is not too special at first. The origin is defensive counterattack, whether in Beira Mar or Benfica.
Qiu Ze has mentioned this before, so it’s no stranger to him.
The only thing that is unfamiliar to Qiu Ze now is the characteristics of the Liverpool players. As the organizer and linker of the midfield, Qiu Ze must become familiar with the characteristics of his teammates as soon as possible, so that he can better integrate into the team and play with the ball.
The team forms a whole, rather than being separate from the entire team.
Because Qiu Ze is now in the attacking midfielder position, there is a lot of cooperation between him and Fernando Torres. Now they are working hard to understand each other's characteristics and habits so that they can cooperate better and establish a relationship faster.
Touch it.
Everyone saw the efforts of Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres, and the Liverpool players quickly accepted these two young players.
The progress of Qiu Ze and Qiu Ze is also very fast, which makes the Liverpool players couldn't help but exclaim: "You are truly worthy of being a genius player."
Seeing the progress of Qiu Ze and Qiu Ze, Benitez is the happiest one. After nearly two weeks of training, these two guys have basically integrated into the team. Although they have not yet fully integrated into the team, Benitez
Si is full of expectations for them, and he firmly believes that these two guys will become an indispensable part of Liverpool.
As time goes by, it will not be long before the start of the league. Liverpool begins to play pre-season warm-up matches. They need games to test the team's training results during this period, and hope to take advantage of the warm-up matches to discover the team's current situation.
There are still problems.
It is much better to discover the problem now than after the league starts. In that case, they still have time to correct the problem. If the problem is discovered after the league starts, then Liverpool's season will be in doubt.
It didn't take long for Liverpool to finally usher in the first warm-up match of the new season. Their opponent was the Turkish giant Galatasaray. Because Liverpool was third in the Premier League last season, they will participate in the UEFA Champions League in the new season.
They only found such a warm-up opponent in the qualifying round. This is their warm-up for the Champions League qualifying round.
Galatasaray's strength is actually not weak. They are still very capable. They are regulars in the Champions League. It would be impossible without two brushes.
After the game started, Galatasaray performed much better than Liverpool. Their offense was very smooth and very distinctive. Liverpool, on the other hand, was like a piece of loose sand, being beaten by Galatasaray from the beginning of the game.
The thunder struck.
But Liverpool's defense is still very good. Qiu Ze often returns to the half court to defend. His strong defensive ability is undoubtedly displayed, which makes Benitez very satisfied. Of course, Benitez is very good at the ball.
The team's offense is very unsatisfactory. Until now, Liverpool still doesn't have any decent offense.
However, this is understandable. After all, this is Liverpool's first game of the new season, and it is also the first time for Qiu Ze and others to cooperate with Liverpool players. It is reasonable to play like this.
As time goes by, Liverpool's defense becomes more and more stable, and the offense begins to improve. Qiu Ze is able to hold the football in the midfield and connect the front and backcourt very successfully, allowing Alonso to organize more freely
attack.
Gradually, Liverpool's offense became bigger and smoother, and the offensive threat became bigger and bigger. This made Liverpool's head coach Benitez very satisfied. He kept nodding from the sidelines. This performance was much better than he expected. Of course he
very satisfied.
In the 39th minute of the first half, Qiu Ze played a wonderful match with Fernando Torres in the frontcourt. The two of them played one-on-one in front of Galatasere's penalty area and entered the penalty area.
In Ratasaray's penalty area, Qiu Ze assisted Fernando Torres to score.
Liverpool leads 1 to 0. This is also the first goal scored by Fernando Torres since joining Liverpool. It is also the first assist given by Qiu Ze after joining Liverpool.
Fernando Torres scored the goal very easily. Qiu Ze's pass was very good. As long as Fernando Torres stretched his legs to block the ball, the ball would definitely go in.
After seeing the goal, Liverpool's head coach Benitez was very excited. They knew that their spending this summer was worth it. Although this was just a warm-up match, he firmly believed that Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres would lead the team.
Liverpool are on their way to success.
At the end of the first half, Liverpool temporarily led Galatasaray 1-0. Liverpool fans saw the performance of Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres, and they were very happy. They also knew that these two guys were very likely to be...
Liverpool's attacking combination for the new season.
The second half of the game started quickly. Liverpool's offense became more and more powerful. Galatasaray seemed a little unable to withstand it. Qiu Ze was very fast in the frontcourt, full of impact, and his skills at his feet were also very good.
, Galatasaray's defensive players seemed to have no way to deal with Qiu Ze, which made Liverpool's offense even sharper.
Qiu Ze took turns dribbling the ball into Galatasaray's penalty area. Galatasaray's defense was really in danger, which made Galatasaray fans nervous.
In the 21st minute of the second half, it was Qiu Ze again. This guy got the ball in the frontcourt and quickly drove the ball forward. Galatasaray team immediately rushed up and surrounded Qiu Ze with two people, preventing Qiu Ze from moving forward.
At the same time, in the penalty area, Galatasaray closely defended Torres.
At this time, when all Galatasaray fans thought that Qiu Ze would have nothing to do, Qiu Ze and the guy suddenly used his heels to knock the football under his feet diagonally behind him. Galatasaray's defensive players were still
Before he could react, Liverpool's captain Gerrard rushed forward and hit the ball with a long shot.
Gerrard is very good at long-range shooting. Even Qiu Ze, a guy who is good at long-range shooting, has to admire Gerrard. This shows that Gerrard's long-range shooting ability is very outstanding.
Gerrard's kick was very good, and he hit the spot very accurately. The football flew close to the turf towards Galatasaray's goal, as if it was flying on the grass, and as fast as an arrow.
Flying directly into the lower left corner of Galatasaray.
Two to zero, Liverpool easily defeated Galatasaray, giving the new season a good start. Qiu Ze performed very well in this game, sending two assists and sending threatening balls many times.
Come. And Fernando Torres also performed very well, scoring a goal and creating threats many times.
Seeing the result of the game, Benitez was quite satisfied, and even more satisfied when Qiu Ze and Fernando Torres were able to integrate into the team so quickly. Although there are still some problems between them and the team,
Being able to do this, they are very satisfied.
A week later, Liverpool ushered in their second warm-up match opponent before the new season. In this game, their opponent was an opponent from the English League One. The opponent was not very strong, but they were very aggressive and aggressive.
The reason why Niites accepted the invitation to this game was to test how Qiu Ze would perform under such a strong or even fierce defense.
Qiu Ze's performance in this game did not disappoint Benitez. Qiu Ze was not frightened by the opponent's fierce defense. On the contrary, Qiu Ze was more fierce than others. Qiu Ze seemed to be angry at that time.
Like a lion, he wants to tear his opponent apart, which surprises his opponents.
The technical content of this game is really not high, but the playing is very intense, there is a lot of physical contact, and the movements of both sides are also very big. Fortunately, no players were injured, otherwise Benitez would really have been crying.
Already.
Qiu Ze did not save face for his opponent in this game. This guy broke out in this game, sent out two assists, scored two goals, and helped the team defeat the opponent 7-0.
This result is not important to Liverpool, what is important is the process, and what Benitez wants is today's process.
Two days later, Liverpool ushered in their third warm-up match opponent for the new season. They were the Ajax team from the Netherlands.
Ajax is not a weak team. Liverpool are very optimistic about this game. Benitez is very cautious. The technical content of this game may even be higher than the first game. Benitez
Si had to pay attention to it.
Liverpool have prepared a lot for this game, and they still attach great importance to winning this game.
However, in the game, Liverpool's performance did not meet Benitez's expectations. In this game, Liverpool's offense and defense were exposed. This made Benitez very angry. He did not expect that
It will look like this.
The final result of this game was a one-to-one draw. Fernando Torres scored the only goal. This came from midfielder Alonso's direct pass from the backcourt, which directly penetrated Ajax's defense. Fernando Torres?
Torres scored a single goal.
Qiu Ze's performance in this game had some ups and downs. His performance was not as good as in the previous two games, but he did not make any mistakes, which was pretty good. However, Qiu Ze still did not perform well in one thing, and that was Alonso
When being targeted, he did not step forward and play the role of the second organizational point, which made Benitez a little dissatisfied.
However, problems can be found in this game. This warm-up match is still very rewarding, and Benitez is quite satisfied. After this game, Liverpool's training will be more serious and more frequent, and they will be more
The time has been spent on the team's adjustment, and Benitez does not want something like this to happen again today.
Four days later, Liverpool ushered in their fourth warm-up match opponent before the new season. Their opponent was the Celtics from Scotland. Qiu Ze was quite familiar with the Celtics. After all, he was
This season, the two sides were in the same group in the Champions League and played two games.
Qiu Ze did not start this game, and Mascherano worked hard after recovering from injury. At this time, Benitez wanted to see who of the two is more suitable for this tactic?
Sitting on the bench, Qiu Ze felt a crisis. This is a wealthy club. The competition is much greater than that of Beiramar and Benfica. Qiu Ze knows that if he doesn't work hard, it is very likely that he will be on the bench this season.
Get through it.
However, in this game, Mascherano's performance was not outstanding, or even unsatisfactory. Perhaps it is because this guy has just recovered from injury and has not found the feeling of the game yet.
