Vol 4 Chapter 504: Completely messed up!

During the intermission, Liverpool players all returned to the locker room.
Everyone had an excited smile on their faces, and they were obviously satisfied with the result of the first half of the game.
Benitez's tactics are completely right, completely disrupting Barcelona's tactical deployment.
In fact, after Tencart left Barcelona, ​​Rijkaard's tactical response has been criticized. Especially in some strong dialogues, Barcelona's tactics can even be said to be defeated. For example, when they challenge Real Madrid away, Barcelona will Lost to Capello's team zero to two.
Atletico Madrid at home, losing to Valencia away, are unsatisfactory.
In the two UEFA Champions League group matches against Chelsea, Barcelona was two to two at home and zero to one at home. They failed to show convincing performance. Rijkaard's targeted tactics were not a problem tonight. .
Of course, for a team like Barcelona, ​​you don't need to target your opponents everywhere. What's more important is how to play your due level under the target of your opponents.
Even so, Barcelona can't do it.
Although the first half of this game was one to one, in fact, from the tactical level, Barcelona was defeated!
...
Yang Yang came to Liverpool only half a year, but he really admired Benitez's tactics.
Whether it is Mourinho facing Chelsea, Ferguson of Manchester United, or as strong as Barcelona, ​​Benitez has a way to suppress his opponent at the tactical level.
If you insist that Benitez still has any problems, it is undoubtedly that he is not smooth enough, obsessed with football, and does not know how to be human, and these are precisely the things that Yesterdam is best at.
The combination of the two complements each other, a bit like the combination of Rijkaard and Tun Carter.
Therefore, Yang Yang feels that Benitez really can't leave Jesterdam, otherwise he will lose Tengkat like Rijkaard.
No one is perfect, football has always been a team-based profession.
This is true on and off the court.
…………
…………
Benitez walked into the locker room. He still had a cold and cold face as usual, and it looked very mechanical, as if he had no feelings at all.
If it wasn't when he celebrated the goal just now, seeing him also excited and smiled, Yang Yang would think this is a robot.
Benitez first proposed the problems that occurred in the first half of the team, mainly some small details, and Sissoko ’s mistake, Benitez said nothing, obviously taking care of Mali midfielder Feelings.
"Normally, if a team has the upper hand on the court, it will not be easy to make adjustments in the second half, because changing the style of play will easily lead to losing control of the game, so it will not easily take risks."
Benitez introduced his speculation on Barcelona's second half tactics.
"Although the score was one-to-one, Barcelona controlled the situation, but just a few minutes before the end of the first half, they had some problems and were scored by our counterattack, so I guess, Rijkar Germany will not make adjustments, especially for substitutions. "
In front of Benitez, all players, including Yang Yang, nodded and listened.
"Specifically how they will adjust in small details, this is unpredictable, but we must do two things ourselves."
Benitez told the players in front of him very seriously and carefully.
"First, we have to press faster and more fiercely to pressure Barcelona ’s centre-back. Neither Rafael Marcos nor Puyol felt much pressure in the first half. We must be here in the second half. It has been strengthened a bit. "
Yesterdam also explained at this time, "Barcelona goalkeeper Valdes has always been unstable, this is a very unreliable goalkeeper, and Barcelona's pass and control play starts from the central defender, so we have to Pay attention to the central defender and disrupt their transmission and control, especially Valdes and Puyol. "
Benitez always speaks concisely, and Yesterdam is responsible for detailed explanations to ensure that every player can understand, and then he will explain and share their tasks with the players one by one.
"Second, we have to be quicker when countering, but at the same time, we must also ensure that our entire offensive and defensive system is compact and not disconnected. The latter is a prerequisite and the basis for us to no longer concede goals.
During the Portuguese training, Liverpool have been practicing techniques and tactics to ensure that the overall offensive and defensive system is not disconnected. This has always been the focus of Benitez's exercise. The players also understand that the head coach attaches importance to this.
"The goal in the last half of the first half was precisely because of our speed."
Hearing Benitez ’s words, everyone turned around and looked at Yang Yang. Gerrard and Harvey Alonso all smiled as if they were saying that your kid was praised. .
Benitez has never been easy to praise people in the dressing room. It can actually be regarded as a compliment if he can say so.
After saying this, Benitez also basically explained what he wanted to explain.
"Everyone, although the one-to-one midfield score does have reason to satisfy us, it must not be taken lightly. You must know that this is Camp Nou and it is the home court of Barcelona."
Benitez warned the players seriously.
"You must know that tonight you are facing the strongest team in the Champions League. No matter whether it is a draw or a goal lead, it is not enough to ensure our promotion, so we must concentrate all our energy and focus on playing. Good every minute of the game. "
Gerald stood up immediately and nodded heavily.
Other players also stood up one after another, or nodded, or responded out loud.
…………
…………
The second half of the game restarted.
Barcelona's tactics did not change much as Benitez expected.
The personnel has not been adjusted, and the tactics have basically continued the performance of the first half.
But Liverpool is clearly different from the first half.
As early as in Portugal, Benitez said that his tactics in this game will not be negative, even at the Camp Nou, he is trying to win an away goal while keeping hope to return Anfield Stadium.
And his weapon for the away goal is in the second half.
If Liverpool's tactics in the first half are to stabilize the defense and are familiar with Barcelona's game rhythm, then Liverpool's tactics in the second half is to adapt to the opponent, see the timing, rush up, and bite the opponent's throat!
...
Just one minute into the second half, Liverpool began to press step by step.
Tiago Mota fouled Mohamed Sissoko and gave Liverpool a free kick in the frontcourt. Gerrard directly chose to hit the goal and was saved by Valdes and resolved a crisis.
But Liverpool's continued, and the game quickly entered Liverpool's rhythm.
Barcelona's offense was contained and it was difficult to open the game.
Ronaldinho and Messi ’s wings were restrained by Finnan and Aveloja in the first half, which was equivalent to breaking off Barcelona ’s two arms, and the attacking of the middle was again by Harvey A. Longsau and Mohamed Sisoko intercepted.
As for the two full-backs, Belletti is responsible for guarding Yang Yang, and Zambrotta is pinned by Kuyt.
It can be said that Barcelona's entire offense has been contained by Liverpool.
The first half did not open the situation, the second half even worse.
...
Rijkaard is obviously also having a headache for the team's delayed offense.
Throughout the second half, he was pacing back and forth in the coaching area, giving the impression of being nervous and anxious.
Ten minutes later, he finally couldn't wait and took the lead in making the first substitution in the game.
Iniesta replaced Tiago Mota.
As a result, Barcelona's three midfielders have become Xavi, Iniesta and Deco, and Xavi still lags behind.
Without the high point of Tiago Mota, Barcelona's midfielder can only continue to walk on the ground, which further caters to Liverpool's idea, so Benitez is still motionless.
...
Yang Yang has a feeling on the court that the ball is still at the feet of Barcelona, ​​but the game is controlled by Liverpool.
The reason why the pass-and-play approach can cause the opponent to collapse is that it is important to create a threat.
If there is a ball control rate in the air, but there is no way to create a threat, too much ball control is very dangerous, but this will make the mentality of the ball control party change.
Since the start of the second half, both sides have played stalemate, and no one has been able to create opportunities, but the atmosphere of the game has become increasingly depressed.
Yang Yang knows that this is a test for both parties. Whoever can't bear it, whoever makes mistakes first, loses!
Liverpool still carry out the coach's tactics unwaveringly, because it worked.
In the sixty-fifth minute, Barcelona made the second substitution adjustment for the whole game.
Yang Yang saw the fourth official on the court playing the substitution sign. He didn't even need to see who was changing. He concluded that Barcelona was already anxious and Rijkaard was completely messed up.
Because Liverpool hasn't even moved a single substitution!
Substitution has only one purpose, which is to change the game situation.
Similar to Rijkaard's two consecutive substitutions, the other side did not make moves once. Everyone can see that Liverpool has an advantage in both tactical and psychological levels.
And inside that, Yang Yang's goal in the last half of the first half is the key!
Without that goal, Barcelona will not be in a hurry.
In the 65th minute, Rijkaard replaced Javi with Guri.
Four two four formation!
This is definitely a desperate move!
Benitez also had to make adjustments, and Gerrard was forced to back up to better protect the line of defense.
Liverpool still has no substitutions!
After the substitution, Barcelona intended to play a fierce attack, but as a result, he still did not find a way to effectively break the Liverpool defense. Instead, his hidden dangers were finally exposed.
In the 70th minute, left centreback Puyol was forced to return the goalkeeper under Crouch's pressure.
