My name is Colani

Chapter 515: Not Very Harmonious

After Trapani gained the advantage, he continuously attacked Liverpool's half, but since Master Bei was determined to go for a point, how could he not be on guard? Their defense in the backcourt was very tight. Trapani lacked a wing breakthrough player, and Vucinic often went to the wing to support, but he didn't have any outstanding performance.

Maicon and Jankulovski had to take care of the back and often passed some 456-degree crosses. Even with Ballack's insertion, Liverpool's defense did not give them any chances under the partnership of Carragher and Agger, the young player.

Liverpool got some counterattack opportunities from time to time, and their threat was even greater. Kuyt hit the post once in the 19th minute, otherwise Trapani would have been broken at home.

Premier League teams generally have strong air defense and confrontation capabilities. Trapani's crosses are easily resolved, and Vucinic and Ballack failed to form a good tacit understanding with Toni, resulting in Toni feeling a little alone in the penalty area.

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at 0:0. In the second half, Trapani still had no improvement.

"This kind of attack is too routine. People are waiting for you to play like this!" Hugo shook his head with some dissatisfaction.

The new tactics of playing diamond midfield made everyone cautious. The two full-backs were originally the most important, but Jankulovski's side was not the main attack point, but Maicon's side was. However, Maicon was not completely adapted to such tactics. He took too many risks. The front contact point was not his usual way. He made several passing errors.

Sometimes Maicon's insertion was not very resolute, and he rarely passed.

In short, the whole team only gained an advantage on paper. Once they reached the frontcourt, their mistakes began to increase. Relying on the interception ability of the midfield, they did not give Liverpool many offensive opportunities when they came off the court.

After playing for more than 80 minutes, the head coaches of both sides began to make substitutions. Gerrard and others took to the field. The commentators in the live broadcast room said that they were probably sent by Benitez to warm up.

Gerrard made a fatal mistake after coming on the pitch. He was not decisive in handling the ball under the pressure of Trapani players and slipped on the ground.

Toni and Ballack made a two-on-one cooperation at the front of the penalty area. Ballack shot low near the penalty area line and the ball hit the post and went out of the goal. This was Trapani's best chance, but unfortunately it was still a bit unlucky.

When the referee blew the whistle, the game between the two sides ended in a draw. For Benítez, this result was of course ideal. What's wrong with being able to draw with Trapani away from home with a semi-substitute lineup? This is very good.

Klinsmann was naturally disappointed. He strongly despised Liverpool in an interview after the game.

"They were completely suppressed by us. I often saw that they had 90 players defending. We created some opportunities, but it was difficult to get the ball into their goal! When an opponent comes here with the idea of ​​only getting one point, it is difficult for the home team, because they are one of the strong contenders for the Premier League title!"

The lack of offensive power was due to Klinsmann's overestimation of the team's adaptability, and of course the players' poor condition, with Tony being the first to bear the brunt.

Tony only got five points after the game, not even a passing score. It was not just him who was depressed, his partner Vucinic also only got five points, and Ballack got six points, barely passing.

In the later stages of the game, the physical fitness of both sides declined. Klinsmann only used Paul Fontano to replace Vucinic, while Trapani's other striker Adriano was still sitting on the bench.

"Why didn't you send Adriano?! Can you give us an explanation?" Reporters asked Klinsmann after the game.

"He has some minor injuries, and his physical condition has not yet recovered to the best condition. I don't want to take risks!" Klinsmann tried to brush it off lightly.

"Is there some kind of conflict between you and Adriano? He sat on the bench for two consecutive games and didn't get a minute!" The reporters continued to ask.

"I have already said that his physical condition does not meet the conditions for playing!" Klinsmann had to emphasize.

The more he said this, the less the reporters believed it. Injured? ! You must be kidding, I have never heard of it before.

Failed to beat Liverpool, was tied by the opponent at home, and the bleak offensive line became the best excuse for the Italian media to complain about Klinsmann.

"His change of formation is simply a failure. The diamond midfielder's position makes Trapani, who originally likes to play on the wing, look a little awkward. Ballack did not bring us the most familiar performance in the most familiar position!" Turin Sports criticized Ballack, and Toni, the spearhead, was only mentioned in one stroke. This is their usual practice. Foreign players are more likely to be criticized.

"Why not use Di Maria? He is Trapani's future star. He is flexible and has strong breakthrough ability. He can attack Liverpool's wing!" Corriere dello Sport criticized Klinsmann for not paying attention to young people.

Di Maria has just been selected for the Argentina Under-20 National Team and has become a good seedling in everyone's eyes. Klinsmann is wasting such a good seedling.

"There is a dispute between Klinsmann and Adriano. Their relationship seems to have been not so harmonious from the beginning!" Gazzetta dello Sport took a unique approach to interpret that Klinsmann did not establish complete authority in Trapani's locker room.

Klinsmann was under great pressure immediately after losing both teams. The Milan Sports Daily also picked up the discord between him and Adriano, which made him even more embarrassed. The players could ignore the outside media, but as the head coach, he had to understand that the recent situation seemed to easily affect Hugo's perception of him.

Everyone has the problem of being easily influenced by others!

He didn't expect that when he was being criticized, Adriano's agent had already found Morek. Morek didn't want to support Klinsmann, but he didn't want to support Adriano. Seeing that Adriano didn't play a game but his salary didn't decrease by a penny, this guy was full of anger and just perfunctorily said two words to Rinaldi and let it go.

Rinaldi was extremely dissatisfied with such a perfunctory attitude, and then criticized Klinsmann's use of people in a media interview. Adriano is a superstar after all, why do you, Klinsmann, suppress him? !

"I don't understand why Klinsmann doesn't use Adriano. He is a player who can help Trapani and score goals! Being late for training?!"

"No, no, no, that's a thing of the past! I can be sure that he is not that kind of player! He is very distressed now. He can't get Klinsmann's trust. I really can't understand it!"

Rinaldi is really too careless. He thought he was representing a superstar. In the summer, Trapani cried and begged for Adriano to go over, so he could complain about the team at will.

Hugo soon found out about this and asked Giorgio what was going on.

"What else could it be?! He is not satisfied with Adriano's current situation!" Giorgio replied.

"By the way, Giorgio, tell me! Why didn't Klinsmann use Adriano?! Such a strong striker was not used, no wonder he couldn't win the game!" Hugo knew about Adriano's lateness. Klinsmann complained about it, but that was a thing of the past.

The striker is short of people now, why not use Adriano? !

"You don't understand this yet. He can't easily use Adriano. He and Adriano are fighting!" Giorgio said.

"Fighting has to have a limit. It can't affect the team's stable performance! Now is the time when we need people. We must win the next game!" Hugo was also dissatisfied. It's such a simple matter, can't you be more harmonious.

Klinsmann is not without experience in fighting. In fact, his experience in the German national team is a history of struggle. First, he got rid of the lion king Kahn, and finally Kahn surrendered because Kahn has Germany in his heart. In the overall situation of the country, he has to make concessions, otherwise he can't appear in the World Cup in his home country.
