"Van Bommel handed the ball to Messi. Carragher was very fierce and Carragher stole the ball! This was the third goal that Messi lost against Carragher in this game. Messi looked a little overwhelmed.
.”
In this game, Benitez used Carragher as the right back. Speaking of which, Carragher is not a qualified right back, or not a qualified full-back. When he was a full-back in the Premier League, Liverpool's wing was
Attacked many times.
People like Arsenal's Pires, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ljungberg, Manchester United's Ryan Giggs, Joaquin, Chelsea's Robben, Duff, Joe Cole, these people all have a lot of success when they break through Carragher on the wing.
There was no problem. Carragher was very embarrassed when facing them.
Especially Robben and Cristiano Ronaldo, their characteristics are almost accurate when they break through Carragher. Liverpool's right wing has always been a weakness, whether it is Carragher or Finnan, in this powerful team of Liverpool
It is a weakness. Therefore, Benitez usually uses a right midfielder who can go up and down on the right wing and a defensive midfielder for protection.
After the starting list came out, Hiddink hoped that Messi would break through Carragher. In Hiddink's analysis, Messi should be able to easily play Carragher. Unfortunately, after the start of the game, it completely deviated from Hiddink's expectation. Messi was completely defeated by Carragher.
The performance with Lyon and Milan is gone.
"Young Messi is out of form today. Messi, who is only 18 years old in a month, is the biggest discovery of PSV this season. PSV can enter the Champions League final, and Messi, who has emerged this season, has
Great contribution. Whether it was in the quarter-finals or the semi-finals, he performed very well. But maybe there was too much pressure in the Champions League final, and the young Messi's performance was not as casual as in the semi-finals."
Messi is also confused. Facing Carragher, who is not very famous, he is always unable to break through. Not only Messi, but also Afellay in the middle. Facing Gilberto Silva's defense, Afellay
Fellay simply couldn't hold the ball.
In fact, it's not that Liverpool's defense is better than Milan's defense. Speaking of Italian players' defensive ability, Italian clubs are far better than Premier League clubs and English players. But their defensive methods are completely different.
Just like Italian players and Spanish players, they rarely take risks when defending. They rarely take shots blindly. When there is no chance, they will not take a shot. They wait, constantly waiting for opportunities. They can defend.
Stay in your running route and passing route. They will always follow you, but they will not rush to attack you.
But English players are different. Many of their defenses are too fierce. Although many English defenders have good attacking abilities, it is precisely because they are too fast. They can easily be passed by some experienced players. Like
Players like Pires are very calm when facing the defense of English players. As long as you stretch your feet, Pires can find a way to get past people.
Carragher is like this in the Premier League. Because he attacks too hard, he is easily broken through by many Premier League left-sided attackers. If he plays as a central defender, there will be a defender with strong filling ability to help. Then he will be a good partner. But on the wing
He has always been a full-back who has been breached. But Messi and Pires are different. Messi has just started to make a name for himself in the Eredivisie this season. Messi and Afellay have experienced too little. They have seen the most
It's the Eredivisie's defense.
Messi's biggest characteristic is that he bursts out suddenly and can constantly change directions in a small space. The defense of the Italian and French teams is the kind of preemptive defense. Therefore, it gives Messi, who has just made his debut, more opportunities.
Take advantage of opportunities.
But when has Messi ever seen an English team? Like Carragher, he is very capable of grabbing the ball. He doesn't care whether he can grab the ball or not, he just goes up and kicks it. Whether he touches the ball or kicks someone,
Carragher didn't care at all. But this kind of recklessness made Messi very uncomfortable. Messi just got the ball and before he was ready to pass, Carragher came up and shot directly.
"Look, Leo is too young. In fact, Carragher is okay as a defender, but there are many loopholes as a full-back. If Leo has a little experience, he can easily surpass Carragher."
Lister shook his head. He gritted his teeth again. Carragher, you bastard, don’t break your baby. Messi has just started his career, so it is necessary to suffer some setbacks. But he cannot be hurt physically. Every time
Not yet eighteen years old. He was injured, and Lister didn’t know where to cry.
"Carrager is the type of full-back that offensive players like most. It's a pity that Messi lacks experience."
Carvajal is a veteran agent, and he immediately understood Messi's problem. Messi's current problem is not a problem of strength, but entirely a problem of experience. He has never been exposed to the playing style of English players.
Both agents Riester and Carvajal discovered it, and of course Hiddink also discovered it. Hiddink suddenly had some regrets. He may have believed too much in Messi's talent. Although Messi's talent is outstanding
, but after all, he was not yet eighteen years old and was too inexperienced. But before Hiddink could react, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
"Afeilai, Alonso hit Afellai... This ball is not a foul, because Messi's pass is a bit soft. This ball is a ball that both sides have a chance. Afellai's body is not bad, no
I think he is no match for Alonso."
After two years in the Premier League, Alonso is no longer a pure Spanish player. Many Spanish players are not adapted to the Premier League, but Alonso has no such problem at all. Alonso is now becoming more and more Premier League-oriented in the Premier League.
This is what happened when I grabbed the ball this time. I directly used physical confrontation to knock down Afellay.
Afellay has been playing in the Eredivisie for a year, and has never played in such an intense game as today. Not long after the game started, Afellay felt tired. These Liverpool players are simply too beastly. This is
Afellay's thoughts. When playing with Milan, Afellay didn't feel as tired as he did today. Because the Liverpool players are completely different from the Milan players. They rush over and kick you before you adjust. Afellay
The playing style that Rai developed in the Eredivisie was simply unable to adapt to the competition under the collision of Liverpool players.
"Alonso, long pass!"
Although Benitez is a head coach from La Liga and Real Madrid, he has a strong ability to learn tactics. When he first started at Real Madrid, he learned Spanish traditional wing play. After he left Real Madrid, because of the small ball at that time,
Among the team's counterattack tactics, Cooper and Ranieri were the representatives. At that time, the defensive tactics led by Cooper and Ranieri were rampant in La Liga, so Benitez also learned defense from them.
Later, when Benitez came to Liverpool, he did not stick to the tactics of the year. On the contrary, he actively learned the English team's style of play and incorporated him into his own tactics.
The most common style of play among English clubs is long passes. Especially clubs in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League all use this tactic. Benitez's Liverpool also has this characteristic. After Alonso gets the ball, he immediately passes the ball long.
The ball was passed to Yankel in front. Yankel overpowered Bouma and passed the ball to Luis Garcia on the right.
This is the most typical English team's play style. There is a center player in front, and his task is to receive the ball and pass it to the two wingers. The play style of many lower-tier Premier League teams is this simple. Liverpool also adopted this method when playing against Eindhoven.
Such a simple tactic.
"Luis Garcia, handed the ball to Gerard. Direct pass!"
Luis Garcia did not make any moves on the wing, but handed the ball to Gerrard in the center. There are few players who can get the ball with their backs in front of Cocu, and then break through Cocu. Because Cocu's
His defensive ability and defensive awareness are very strong. But when facing each other, Cocu also has many shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that Cocu is old and his physical functions have declined a lot.
If it's a face-to-face breakthrough, Cocu doesn't like Kaká very much, as is an explosive player like Gerrard. This time Gerrard rushed up to catch the ball from Luis Garcia, Cocu and Alex behind him.
We are all very nervous. Because everyone in European football knows that Gerrard’s strongest point is his impact. If you let him rush up in any game and give him a chance to convince the long-range shot, the goal will be very dangerous. Therefore, Cocu
He immediately wanted to get close to him, and Alex also stepped forward to block Gerrard's shot.
However, Gerrard was full of posture, but he did not rush forward when he received the ball, nor did he shoot directly. Instead, it was a direct pass, passed between Alex and Grigra. It was still Gerrard-style.
Passing the ball, fast and close to the ground.
"Eto'o, Eto'o stepped in."
Eto'o played on the left side of the field. He can go up offensively and retreat defensively to help Riise. This time Gerrard's pass happened to be between Alex and Grigra. Eto'o passed through Grigra.
Speed up one side and insert it.
"Alex, Alex's position is empty. Eto'o, Eto'o, this is a single shot... Eto'o, shoot!"
"Eto'o, Eto'o. This is Eto'o's first Champions League final. I didn't expect that he would score the opening goal in his first Champions League final."
"One to zero, one to zero. Liverpool has entered the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons. If they win the Champions League again this season, Liverpool will become the first club to win the Champions League back-to-back since the Champions League was restructured."
After a few moments, Liverpool’s counterattack was completely different from that in Valencia. When in Valencia, Liverpool’s counterattack was more on the wing. After arriving at Liverpool, there were many more English methods. (To be continued, please search
