Chapter 514: Harmony

Trapani seems to be in trouble. In the first round of the league, they encountered a stubborn resistance from their rivals in the same city and failed to get off to a good start. The team also suffered a lot of injuries and was missing several generals.

Regarding the plan to fight against the Premier League, the Italian media spontaneously began to give advice to Trapani. This is their characteristic. They also liked to give advice to Lippi during the World Cup.

Several former Chinese football writers recruited by the new sports website wrote columns to analyze Trapani's first round battle with Liverpool. After the Champions League draw, everyone said that Trapani was assigned to a good group. No one forgot the impact of the schedule.

Now it seems that the schedule arrangement is not very favorable for Trapani, and the impact may be great.

Some said that Klinsmann should choose a defensive posture. Your brother's offensive gene should be changed, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in the game against Liverpool.

Some said that Klinsmann should continue to carry forward the spirit of fearlessness and continue to let the team maintain a good offensive style.

Some people also said that Klinsmann could consider changing the formation to make up for Messi's absence and Di Maria's predicament of being too young.

Liverpool is very familiar with Trapani's situation. Benítez even watched a lot of video clips of the game between the German team and Trapani. He is a tactical master, recognized by the European media. In 2005, Liverpool under his rule won the Champions League of the season, and defeated the Italian team at that time. To be precise, it was not a defeat, but a catch-up, tying Milan.

Milan left a deep impression on him, and he also realized the shortcomings of Liverpool.

Every day he can know the news outside, who is missing from Trapani, Messi is expected to play, etc. Benítez doesn't take it seriously. What else can the media write if not these? !

From Trapani's paper, even if Klose and Messi are absent, their strength is still higher than their own team, especially their midfield and forward line.

Benítez does not dare to underestimate Trapani. He stayed up late these two nights to study Trapani's past and the friendly match with Trapani in the summer.

Trapani is different from Milan. Milan is more focused on control, while Trapani is not. During the Deschamps period, they did not pay much attention to ball control. On the contrary, their rhythm controller Pizarro passed the ball forward a lot, and the passes to both sides were also particularly prominent, making full use of the speed of the wing to break through the advantage.

When Klinsmann came to power, Benítez found that Klinsmann paid less attention to ball control. He advocated fierce offensive, not boiling frogs in warm water, which was completely different from the Italian football style.

Before flying to Trapani, Liverpool held a pre-match press conference, and Benítez praised Trapani very much.

"We all know that they were the Serie A champions last season and the runner-up of the Champions League. Needless to say, their strength is naturally not to be mentioned! We can't underestimate them because of their injuries. They are at home. I hope the players must be in high spirits in the game!"

"Mr. Benítez, can you tell us about your tactical arrangements?" The Republic from Italy wanted to find out about this news, but unfortunately Benítez would not tell you.

Time soon came to the 13th, and the city of Trapani completely turned into a world of football. This was the first time that Trapani Stadium ushered in the Champions League debut, and it was also the first time that the citizens of Trapani watched the Champions League game up close.

In order to welcome the Champions League to Trapani, the Trapani City Hall and the Trapani Club did a lot of preparations. The streets and alleys of Trapani were full of Champions League flags, as well as the flags of the two teams, Trapani and Liverpool. Around the Trapani Stadium, a strong atmosphere was arranged.

The citizens of Trapani talked about this focus battle in Group C every day, and the bar in Sigrino was full of drinkers who talked loudly.

Many people are not unaware of Trapani's current predicament, but in the street interviews and statistics of "Roma Sports Daily", the vast majority of Trapani fans still believe that Trapani will win. The reason they gave is also that we are very strong and there is no reason not to beat Liverpool in the Premier League.

When the time came to the match day, Trapani fans did not do anything to interfere with Liverpool players, which was very hospitable.

However, when they got to the stadium, Liverpool naturally did not receive a warm welcome. The boos from the stadium of 20,000 people were no less than those from the Barbera Stadium of more than 30,000 people.

Benítez never revealed Liverpool's starting lineup, and no gossip was leaked until it appeared at the Trapani Stadium. The fans watching the game were stunned, and Klinsmann was also a little confused.

In this game, Liverpool's starting lineup was 442:

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defenders: Finnan Agger Carragher Warnock

Midfielders: Pennant Sissoko Alonso Aurelio

Forward: Bellamy Kuyt

This lineup made a large rotation. Even the team's Gerrard did not play, and the main striker Crouch did not play. This is a semi-substitute lineup, which is quite strange.

Such an important game, you Benítez actually treated it like this? ! How can you not surprise the fans and the commentators in front of the TV? Oh my god, you are facing Trapani!

The fans didn't understand, but the commentators in the live broadcast room quickly understood that no matter how good Benítez said, he was determined to get a point!

That's right, Benítez is just going to get a point. Benítez is planning for Liverpool's overall situation. He said Trapani is in a bad state, and Benítez wants to say, do you know that we are also in a bad state?

Last weekend, Benítez's team just lost 0:3 to their city rival Everton. Like Trapani, they didn't get any good results after the national team match day. It was a coincidence that they lost to their city rivals at the same time. Benítez's team was even worse, not even scoring a goal.

In the Premier League standings, they now have only 4 points in the first three rounds of games, one win, one draw and one loss. In the first round, they drew with the newly promoted Sheffield United, and in the second round, they only won 2:1 against West Ham United. In the third round, they were immediately penetrated by Everton three times. If you say that Trapani is not in good condition, there are more or less objective factors. If Benítez's team is not in good condition, then it is really not good.

This weekend they will face their rival Chelsea. The intensity of the Premier League has forced Benítez to have some concerns. The Champions League seat is not so easy to get. Benítez has to make some rotations that make everyone stunned.

Klinsmann is really trying his best. The first round of the league cannot be lost, and the home court of the Champions League cannot be lost either. Klinsmann, who doesn't have many tricks in his stomach, honestly sent out the strongest lineup that Trapani can put together.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defender: Maicon Barzali Samuel Jankulovski

Midfielder: Pizarro Mascherano Essien Ballack

Forward: Vucinic Toni

Adriano was naturally thrown on the bench again, Mascherano played as a single defensive midfielder, Essien and Pizarro were near the center line, and Ballack played as a front midfielder. This is Trapani's diamond position.

Klinsmann's change of formation was very sudden for the players, but for the midfielders, what's wrong with this? Every player who thinks he is qualified to play has a position, and everyone is in harmony!

Ballack got the position he wanted, and he will have more freedom. He will not be as frustrated as in the first two games. He can choose to attack or retreat to help defend, and he is happiest.

Klinsmann would definitely not be happy if he chose to get one point each with Liverpool at home. Even if he saw that Benítez might be aiming for one point, he would never let Benítez succeed.

So after the start of the game, Trapani firmly grasped the ball on the court after a short adaptation. In the summer, they had a friendly match with Liverpool. At that time, Liverpool's midfield was more advantageous, but now it has changed. Pizarro's appearance has brought a big difference to the team. In addition, he cooperates well with Essien and Mascherano, and with the help of Ballack, it is not surprising that they occupy the ball on the court.
