"Don't worry, boss, I'll take care of it." Although Benitez is just a new coach who has just arrived, it is obvious that Gerrard still respects the Spanish coach. "Believe me, I will do my best." Go all out and use a victory as the beginning of the team’s new season!”
Unlike former coach Houllier who promoted Gerrard to the first team but only used him as a defensive midfielder, the first thing Benitez did after taking over as Liverpool's coach was to liberate He eliminated Gerrard, who was tied up in the defensive midfielder position, and at the same time used Gerrard as the core and designed tactics around him!
You treat me as a national scholar, and I should repay you as a national scholar! For Benitez who thinks so highly of himself, Gerrard naturally wants to repay the coach's trust with victory!
Just when Gerrard promised Benitez that he would win Liverpool's first victory of the new season, in the home team's dressing room, George was also doing his final pre-match mobilization!
"Didier (Drogba), your task in this game is very difficult. You must suppress Hyypia and Carragher's central defense, and let them focus their defensive attention on you as much as possible, giving Chris ( Cristiano Ronaldo) and Franck (Ribery) strive for opportunities to shoot from behind. Also, when necessary, you must remember to come back and participate in the defense to reduce the defensive pressure on the midfielder."
In the offensive system carefully built by George, Drogba at the center is an extremely critical link, and his importance is even second only to Xavi Alonso as the midfield commander. The Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft must not only destroy the city on the front line and shoulder the important task of scoring goals, but also have eyes and ears in all directions to provide support for teammates as a tactical fulcrum, and they must retreat at any time during the game to participate in defense!
That is to say, Drogba has superior physical fitness. If he were replaced by another forward who was not as good as him, he would have been exhausted long ago - how can he treat them as a forward? He is clearly creating an all-around warrior who is proficient in all kinds of martial arts!
"No problem!" Regarding the task assigned to him by George, Drogba not only did not feel that it was a burden, but was overjoyed and immediately agreed with his chest patted. In Drogba's view, isn't it because the coach is willing to arrange so many tasks for him because he recognizes his ability?
Therefore, it is really lucky for George and Tottenham to have a player like Drogba who does not pursue statistics and is willing to work hard and be a green leaf under his command.
"Xavi (Alonso), Patrice (Evra), this is your first Premier League game. Relax, don't put too much pressure on, just perform normally. After all, the style of play in the Premier League is different from yours." The La Liga and Ligue 1 that I played in before are different. The pace of the game is faster, well, the way of playing is also more rough." After going over the arrangements again, George called Alonso and Evra He went to the side to give him a face-to-face instruction, and gave the two of them a shot of vaccination, so that they would not be caught off guard by their opponents later on the court. "So, I won't ask too much of you, as long as you can play to your strengths."
"Boss, are you underestimating our ability to adapt?" After hearing George's instructions, Alonso couldn't help laughing, "If nothing else, Patrice was in the semi-finals with Chelsea last season. Those who have played against each other already have an understanding of the English team's playing style. Real Sociedad also faced off against Juventus in the Champions League group stage last season, and even that level of defense could not restrain me. , what can a mere Liverpool do to me?"
Alonso's words are not without purpose. Although the Premier League at this time has not completely gotten rid of the influence of the long pass and lob play, and the physical confrontation is still the most intense among the five major European leagues, with the joint efforts of all parties, brutal defense and rough fouls appeared in the game. The frequency has been significantly reduced. Especially for top clubs like Liverpool, for the sake of their own image, they will naturally put an end to this phenomenon even more thoroughly!
Therefore, Alonso is not too worried about Liverpool. Of course, if Tottenham's opponent in this game is Millwall or Reading, which are known for their brutal football, then the Spaniard will definitely have to be more careful.
"Good evening, viewers, this is Sky TV. I am Andy Gray, the commentator for this game, and this is my partner, Martin Taylor." When the players from both sides walked out of the tunnel under the leadership of the referee, The golden pair of Sky TV who were sitting in the live broadcast room also started their commentary, "I am very happy to be able to explain this powerful dialogue for everyone here. I hope all viewers can enjoy a wonderful game tonight. "
Although the showdown between Tottenham and Liverpool is not as exciting as the red-blue battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, it is also one of the most interesting games in this round of the Premier League. Therefore, Sky TV naturally sent the best pair to commentate on this game.
"It's still some time before the game starts, so let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams tonight." Watching the players from both sides walking towards their respective halves under the command of referee Howard Webber, In order to avoid a cold start, Andy Gray took the initiative to shift the topic to the lineup, "Liverpool set up a 4-4-2 parallel formation, with goalkeeper Dudek, right back Josemi, and center back Carla. Gerard and Hyypia, left back Riise, the midfielders from left to right are Kewell, Hamann, Gerrard and Finnan, and the forwards are two-time Ligue 1 Golden Boot winner Cisse and Xinke European Cup Golden Boot Baros!”
Although Benitez was determined to win this game and hoped to use a victory to consolidate his position as coach at Anfield, he did not rashly change the tactical routine left by Houllier because of his eagerness to win. Because he knows very well that doing so is likely to plunge the entire team into chaos, thereby trapping himself!
Although the general framework left by Houllier cannot be overturned, it is not a problem to make certain modifications within this framework. For example, pushing Finnan to the right midfielder, liberating Gerrard, etc. are all tactical experiments made by Benitez after taking over the coaching position of Liverpool.
The only fly in the ointment is that Benitez's planned midfield commander Xabi Alonso was kidnapped by Tottenham. As a result, Liverpool still has serious deficiencies in controlling the rhythm of the game. And this is what Benitez is most worried about - without a suitable midfield commander, it will be difficult for Gerrard to maximize his power on the offensive end, and it will be difficult for Liverpool to be effective offensively in the game. The two main points are order and relaxation.
Benitez doesn't have a good solution to this. We can only hope that Hamann can be more effective in this game, not only appearing on the court as a midfield engineer, but also ideally transforming into a super midfielder with both offense and defense like Redondo or Vieira!
