Red Rebels

"This was a very difficult game. My players worked hard on the court, and so did Liverpool. I'm very fortunate that we were the ones to win in the end, but I must say that Liverpool is a formidable opponent." Niites is an excellent head coach and they all deserve respect!"

Mourinho praised Liverpool in a high-profile manner to reporters after the game. As a winner, he can treat his enemies with a more tolerant attitude, although he does not like Benitez.

"What about you? Mr. Benitez, what do you think of this game?"

Fatty Bei had an angry look on his face, and he was obviously still dissatisfied with the game that had just ended. However, when asked by reporters, he did not get angry on the spot and just smiled.

"My players also tried their best, but we were unlucky. We were a strong opponent who caused us a lot of trouble in the game. They were lucky enough to seize the few two opportunities and win. Scored goals and my players wasted too many chances and made a lot of mistakes."

"I must say that the winter break schedule is very difficult for any team. We faced life and death enemies two consecutive times, winning one and losing one. This was within my expectations."

"Then what do you think of the performance of these two players, Hyypia and Traore? They scored the lowest points on the spot!"

Benitez's face darkened. It was obvious that the performance of these two players really annoyed him, but he still endured it.

"I won't comment on my players in public. Hyypia and Traore are both very good players. I can only say that every player's state will have ups and downs. This is normal. The problem is that we lack the right players." substitute players, it is not enough to rely solely on those 17-year-old youth training players, we need players who can take responsibility at critical moments."

"For example……"

Unexpectedly, Benitez suddenly shook his head, "I will not name any player, that is unrealistic, but we are short of players in the forward line and defense line. This is a fact that everyone knows. I Hopefully the winter break will change all that.

Benitez obviously took advantage of this press conference to ask the board of directors to buy someone. It is no wonder that Liverpool currently lacks substitute players in the forward and defense lines. Only the midfielder is the strongest. If he can play in the defense line, Proper introduction of players and forwards is believed to greatly enhance Liverpool's overall competitiveness.

It’s really surprising that Liverpool occupy the top spot this season, but their performance is absolutely amazing. Benitez stubbornly poured his football philosophy into Liverpool. As a result, everyone saw that Liverpool’s overall strength is compared to The Houllier period has definitely improved by leaps and bounds.

In Benitez's overall tactics, the double defensive midfielder has been determined to be a rotation of Xabi Alonso, Sissoko, Gerrard and Hamann, with Gerrard playing as the right midfielder and Aimar as the attacking midfielder. , Irving is Liverpool's most stable scorer. He can play as a forward or a left midfielder. Once Irving plays a forward, the left midfielder is Luis Garcia.

The entire midfield and frontcourt tactical combination has been completed. Although Luis Garcia cannot show his outstanding performance in Spain, he still has the strength and is fully capable of attacking tasks on the left. Gerrard on the right The impact is amazing, coupled with Aimar who can hold the ball.

Benitez's only hidden danger at present is the defense and substitute players.

In order to cope with multi-line operations, when the central defenders were stocked with three of Europe's leading central defenders, Vidic, Terry and Curtis, Liverpool had to rely on the aging Hyypia, and the substitutes were all 17 Year-old Roque and others, this made Benitez keep calling as early as the summer that the team should introduce suitable central defenders and full-backs.

There is no doubt that even Mourinho has to admire Benitez's tactical attainments. He is definitely the leading tactician in today's football. Although he is stubborn and domineering,

But he did bring about earth-shaking changes to Liverpool.

This year can be said to be Liverpool's most promising season in the past 15 years, so the entire board of directors is very supportive of Benitez. The first thing Stephen Morgan did after taking office was to bring Benitez the players he needs.

Perhaps experiencing a defeat is not a bad thing for Liverpool.

Many times, only by experiencing failure can we become stronger and more mature!

……………………The English media obviously highly praised this away game against Liverpool, and they were not even willing to admit that the game had a winner. Among them, the headline on the front page of the Guardian seemed very interesting.

Winning is great, losing is glorious!

The Times believes that this is a game without losers!

Both Liverpool and Liverpool showed shocking strength and fighting spirit in this game, especially after going through hellish training and a cruel devil's schedule, facing the powerful Liverpool and overcoming the away battle. It was difficult, but under very unfavorable circumstances, we defeated Liverpool 0:2.

"As Andy Gray said at halftime, cold statistics often fail to show the reality of the fanaticism happening on the pitch, just as the score of 0:2 cannot reflect Liverpool's dominance in this game. The advantages cannot be well reflected in the tenacity.”

"In the whole game, all statistics were at a disadvantage, and Liverpool had an advantage in all aspects, but the final result was 0:2. Liverpool lost a game, but they won the hearts of the fans!"

After the game, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium sang the team song "Never Walk Alone". The exciting melody infected everyone present. Many fans cried bitterly, but they were satisfied in their hearts.

"Many Liverpool fans ended random interviews with the media after the game. They all shouted Liverpool slogans. They believed that the exciting Red Army of the year was finally back. Although Liverpool lost this game by 3 points, But they have won back their temperament, their own will, and their own tradition!"

"It is outstanding. This is the best team in Europe today. No one dares to underestimate it. Some people say that when they are at their peak, they can show better technical and tactical levels and personal abilities than their opponents, and when they are at their peak At their lowest moments, they will defeat their opponents with impressive tenacity!”

“This is just like their tactical philosophy, which is to pursue effective ball possession when they have the ball, and to pursue space control when they don’t have the ball. They can switch freely between these two football concepts, and at the same time, they can play their own football at any time! "

The European media's praise goes beyond that. They also expressed their appreciation for the younger generation such as Mikel, Michael Johnson and Theo Walcott.

"When Benitez was worried about the replacement of the aging Hyypia, and when Liverpool was still worried about the 17-year-old Roque's inability to shoulder the heavy responsibility and did not dare to replace Hyypia with him, Mourinho was very decisive. John Obi Mikel replaced the exhausted Robben, but in the second half, the Nigerians built a steel wall in front of the defense."

"When Benitez was worried about Owen's injury, we saw that 18-year-old Ismael Miller had begun to quietly threaten the status of Drogba and Villa. This young player Ben He scored 6 league goals this season and his performance is remarkable, and the 16-year-old Walcott has become even more famous this season."

"While Benitez was worried about the substitutes of Aimar and Alonso, we saw that although they are the same age as the young players in the Liverpool youth academy, the 17-year-old Aguero and the 17-year-old Michael ?Johnson and the 18-year-old Fabregas already have many times more experience in the Premier League and even European competitions than their peers, which is especially valuable for the growth of young players."

"Benitez complained that it was difficult for young players from Liverpool's youth academy to take on big responsibilities, but with the help of this group of 17-year-old boys, they reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and won the FA Cup last year. This group of young players also Equally indispensable.”

It can be said that the thickness of the bench determines a club's long-term combat capability. Chelsea advocates large-scale signings and the introduction of a group of strong substitutes to strengthen the team's combat capability. Manchester United relies on O'Shea and others who were produced by the previous youth training. In addition, many powerful players have been purchased, such as Quaresma and others.

Arsenal used to buy stars, but now the club is in trouble and has transferred to the youth training; Manchester City has also started hoarding stars like Chelsea; they rely on the youth training. Only Liverpool has not been able to produce better players in the youth training. Under the circumstances, there are no external signings, and the thickness of the bench is relatively weak.

"Currently, football clubs across Europe and even the world are eyeing youth training camps and have poached many players from them. However, we should see that of the rising stars who have left, very few of them have actually played well. This is It’s not that cultivating stars’ skills is important, but the environment in which they are cultivated is more important?”

"When the whole of England respects and imitates the youth training system, we should reflect on its deep roots, that is, we should give as much trust and support to young players as possible!"

I have to say that even Xiao Yu feels that the significance of this game has been exaggerated, but this is the media!

……………………The victory over Liverpool completely ended Liverpool’s unbeaten record this season. This made Liverpool finally rank first in the league with 17 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, with 23 points. This is what Liverpool fans are most excited about. a piece of data.

However, Liverpool's happy days did not last long. Due to the loss, Chelsea won again, which shortened the gap between the two sides to 2 points. The Blues ranked second behind Liverpool with 51 points, ranking second in the league standings. Lottie said that Chelsea will perform more stably and well in the second half of the season and reverse Liverpool to win the championship.

You know, Liverpool has shown strong momentum from the beginning of this season, occupying the top spot in the league standings and never falling back again. However, I believe that with this defeat, Liverpool will encounter more difficult obstacles.

Once again, the gap between the 4th and 5th places has been widened. It is currently ranked 3rd in the league with 15 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, 3 points more than Manchester United, which is 4th in the league, and more than Manchester City, which is 5th in the league. With 4 points out, these two rival teams were unfortunately tied in this round and their points advantage was expanded.

The team currently ranked 6th in the league is somewhat surprising, it is Blood Droylsden. Although Pellegrini's team is also very young, they have shown strong combat effectiveness, especially in the game. The South American style of play displayed has caused a trend in the Premier League and is appreciated by many professionals.

This season, whether it is against Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United or Droysden, they have not been at a comprehensive disadvantage. They have also caused a lot of trouble for these giant teams. This is also praised by countless experts. Pellet Greaney has also become a famous head coach in Europe today by virtue of his outstanding coaching in Droylsden.

I believe that if Droisden can continue to maintain their advantage in the first half in the second half of the season, they will very likely get a ticket to the European competition. This book is updated quickly on Baidu search {half}[^floating^}{^生]

If Droisden's performance was amazing, then Arsenal was a bit disappointing.

Without Vieira, Arsenal's midfield is weak. Gilberto Silva is good but exhausted, and Flamini is still young and needs training. This makes Arsenal almost completely belong to Henry alone. Team, once Henry performs well, Arsenal has a chance to win, but once Henry is frozen, Arsenal will completely stop.

Arsenal ranked 7th in the first half, with points worse than Droisden. Wenger's newly introduced Nasri and Rosicky still need to adapt, and the midfielder is not strong enough, so Arsenal almost lost the first half. All the strong dialogue in the half, coupled with the unstable results, prevented Arsenal from achieving better results in the end.

In addition, from the perspective of the first half, West Ham United performed well. Together with Droylsden, they are considered the two dark horses of this season. The Hammers ranked 8th in the league after Arsenal, even surpassing Tottenham and Blackpool. Traditional strong teams such as Ben and Newcastle.

It is said that West Ham United is currently in acquisition negotiations. The American Iranian tycoon Horabchian and the Icelandic tycoon Magnusson are both very interested in the Hammers. The former also completed the acquisition of the Brazilian club Corinthians. And brought Tevez to Brazil. Now he plans to repeat his old plan. He hopes to bring Tevez to West Ham United to become his deposit for acquiring the Hammers.

In addition to West Ham United, many clubs such as Portsmouth and Aston Villa have also fallen into the vortex of acquisitions. Currently, the Football Association and the Premier League are paying close attention to these acquisitions and must require that the acquisitions must be based on the requirements of the Premier League and the English Football League. The acquisition will be allowed only if it is carried out in accordance with the latest general regulations. Otherwise, the acquisition will be blocked.

Due to the emergence of Xiao Yu, the Football Association and the Premier League pay more attention to protecting the club than in previous generations!
