Five Hundred and Sixtieth Three Difficult Unrestricted Warfare
The first thing Benitez does when he enters any team is to improve the defense. This is the same as most coaches do, because it is mainstream and traditional.
The times are advancing, but some traditions cannot be abandoned.
Today Naples has done a good job in defending compressed space and assisting in defense, which greatly limits Liverpool's offensive power.
In the 22nd minute of the game, when Liverpool attacked from the right side of the front court, Azpilicueta carried Insigne and forced the ball to break through, and passed the ball to Gerrard before Suniga grabbed it. Very good, one step faster, one second slower will make a huge difference.
Gerrard was counter-robbed by Hamsik on the right side of the penalty area, and he rushed the ball straight into the penalty area.
Gareth Bale rushed past Albiol with his strong starting speed and took the lead to control the ball, but he turned his back to the goal and took a step towards the sideline. The offense seemed to be in a dead end again!
Gareth Bell felt that the best pass option at this time was to pass back, but he turned 180 degrees forcibly at the cost of losing his body's center of gravity and passed the ball to the left rib of the penalty area.
Coutinho quickly advanced and volleyed the ball!
It turned out that Behrami shot directly from the side and stretched his legs to block the ball out of the sideline in the nick of time!
Coutinho looked up to the sky and gave a thumbs up to Gareth Bale who just got up from the ground.
"If Coutinho's volley is unblocked, I think it will go in nine times out of ten!
Behrami's block was very timely!
It is still difficult for Liverpool to create threats in a small area. "
Liverpool switched sides and played on the left, Robertson assisted up to receive Bell's return pass, and then he quickly crossed the ball to the center.
Eriksson quickly cooperated with Casemiro to hit the wall and then slanted into the front right of the penalty area. When the football rolled back, he directly used the outer instep of his right foot to send the ball out of the ball.
Gerrard quickly reversed offside and advanced, grabbing a shot before Albiol blocked it!
The football flew straight to the lower right of the middle of the goal, and DeSantis blocked the ball with a single palm in place!
"Gerrard's shooting angle is not enough! Although it is difficult for Liverpool to create excellent scoring opportunities, continuous offensives will also bring great pressure to Naples!"
Situ Yunbing suddenly turned around and walked towards the coach's bench. He stood in front of the ceiling and asked Alonzo, "Did you do an analysis report on Benitez last season?"
Alonzo didn't know why Situ Yunbing suddenly asked about this at this moment, but he still nodded.
Situ Yunbing then asked, "Where is the report?"
Alonzo said: "At the Melwood training ground."
Situ Yunbing said, "Go and get it back to me, within half an hour."
Alonzo didn't say another word, got up and quickly walked into the player tunnel, and after entering the player tunnel, he started to run towards the parking lot of the stadium.
The outside world will not be too concerned about the whereabouts of Alonzo.
But it can be seen from Situ Yunbing's face that he is not relaxed.
This is Alonzo's sixth season with Situ Yunbing. As the "Hand of the King", Alonzo's intelligence work has not only analyzed the opponent's overall team, but also the coaching style of the opponent's coach in the past.
Benitez replaced Chelsea temporarily last season. Situ Yunbing remembered that he had seen Alonzo's report on Benitez.
But he didn't take it seriously at the time, because judging the situation at the time, the hostility of Stamford Bridge to Benitez could be smelled from outside public opinion.
In the end, it proved that Situ Yunbing's judgment at that time was correct.
So he didn't study that report seriously.
Each coach's style and tactical use are actually traceable, in their past years of experience, in the classic battles they coached the team.
Guardiola's pass control philosophy, Mourinho's utilitarian anti-counterfeiting, and even Wenger's pursuit of beautiful football, these can all be found in a clear context from their past coaching journeys.
Perhaps among the most unpredictable coaches in European football, Benitez is the first to bear the brunt.
He has set a record of starting with different lineups in England. Maybe this style is not suitable for giants. The stability of giants is the most important thing. But for any long-term successful team, no coach will use different lineups for more than 10 rounds.
If there is, it can only prove that the team has not run in place yet.
But this approach is very suitable for first-tier clubs close to the giants, because it is more targeted.
Even if you rack your brains to give full play to the team's advantages in all aspects, you may not be able to gain the upper hand in front of the rich opponents, but it is different to restrain the opponents in a targeted manner!
Perhaps by limiting the opponent, we can find a way to defeat the opponent.
Benitez is doing that today.
Situ Yunbing needs to study that report carefully again, and make the most correct judgment based on this game.
He had to admit that today he made a mistake that he often talked about, that is to underestimate the enemy.
When preparing for this game, he just studied all the games of Naples since the new season, that’s all, but he forgot that the overall competitiveness of Serie A is completely different from that of the Champions League. Get a false name.
Maybe in another five years he will become invisible to everyone, but at this moment, it is definitely an obvious mistake to underestimate him.
In the 28th minute of the game, when Liverpool attacked from the right again, this time Suniga intercepted the ball from Gerrard's feet with the assistance of Behrami. After stealing the ball, Suniga waded the ball first. On the wing, pull out the angle and pass straight forward.
Insigne did not run forward, which made Azpilicueta, who was marking him and preparing for a counter-robbery, hesitate to go up. Insigne hit the ball across the middle, and Inle quickly moved the ball forward. Kanter's defense came to him naturally, and Inle hit the ball across the right at this time.
Everyone saw that Ma Qiao suddenly made an assist!
And he has a lot of space in front of him!
This is because after Liverpool's attack on the right, the midfield defense must be prepared in advance to make up for the gap left by Azpilicueta's forward assist.
But Naples seems to be going to hit the right side with a single muscle today!
Macho quickly waded the ball across the midfield, Coutinho was chasing, Eriksson quickly returned to the defense, and Casemiro marked Higuain who was going forward in the middle.
But this can no longer prevent Macho and Callejon from easily hitting the wall on the right to penetrate Robertson's defense zone!
Macho, who waded the ball from outside the baseline and then cut into the penalty area, was the first to pass the ball back to the inverted triangle position when Van Dijk came to block his pass.
Higuain pushed forward and drove Casemiro back into the penalty area. At this time, Kanter and Inle were fighting for the ball. zone!
Van Dijk immediately stepped forward to block again, but Callejon took the lead in smashing the ball, changed direction and crossed it in front of him, and then shot decisively!
The football goes straight to the far corner of the goal with almost no spin!
Ter Stegen tried his best to jump but only touched the football slightly, which was not enough to completely change the trajectory of the football flying into the goal!
When the football hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal, Anfield was instantly silent!
Callejon ran towards the stands of the visiting team fans, with his arms outstretched and his face full of cruelty, the Naples fans were ecstatic!
Benitez still looked serious, and Situ Yunbing did not change his face, but there was a little unwillingness in his eyes.
"Callejon scored against Liverpool's goal! What an unexpected situation!
Naples actually took the lead at Anfield!
And they played exquisite cooperation, which is really amazing. From the counter-attack to Callejon's goal, this series of offensive cooperation is extremely smooth, like mercury pouring down the ground.
The key is that this time Maggio's assist came up. He surprised Liverpool's defense and also destroyed Liverpool's defense system.
Now that Liverpool is 0:1 behind Naples at home, can they have any way to improve their offense? "
Situ Yunbing knows what he has to do to improve the team's performance, otherwise, Liverpool will play harder and harder.
Their lack of threat in offense is the biggest problem.
Passing and cutting can't get in, and the effect of flying with both wings is not good.
And the most critical thing is how to contain the opponent's counterattack.
Situ Yunbing with a calm expression waved to Coutinho. After the opponent came to him, he told him the instruction to change tactics, and then he returned to the field and conveyed it to his teammates before kick-off. Make gestures to the disciples on the field, and the tactics change!
After the re-kick-off, it was obvious that Gerrard's position was more forward, pressing the offside line and ready to counter-offside at any time, and Liverpool's style of play was relatively simple.
Eriksson received a pass from Kante close to the right. He made a 45-degree kick from the wing and tried to find Gareth Bale who was in the penalty area, but Bristol retreated and headed back to clear the siege.
When Hamsik stopped the ball in front of the penalty area, Gerrard counterattacked from behind him. Hamsik quickly played the ball to Inle, and then saw Inle was attacked before stopping the ball. Pressing pressure from Kante!
Kanter's position is pressing forward, and even Liverpool's overall formation is actually pressing forward!
It is more concentrated in the front and rear of the midfield.
Inle hastily passed the ball to Higuain, but Skrtel's tackle intercepted the ball.
Benitez couldn't help frowning at this moment.
After stealing the ball, Skrtel quickly passed the ball to Coutinho, who immediately sent a diagonal pass from the wing, and the football rolled to the center of the penalty area and came to Gerrard's feet. Hamsik's pincers pass the ball obliquely to the front right of the penalty area. Gareth Bell takes the initiative to run to the open position to respond, and then Gerrard advances forward. Gareth Bell tries to send the ball straight into the penalty area , Once in the past, then Gerrard will form a single-handedly!
In the blink of an eye, Albiol shoveled the ball out of the bottom line, and the football that rubbed against Naples' left goal post and rolled out of the bottom line made many Naples fans feel terrified.
It was almost an own goal!
Leading the score, Benitez looked a little heavy at the moment.
