Star Coach

"Everyone has a mouth, and I have no power to stop them from saying anything." Jiangshan was too lazy to argue with Benítez, and he was not good at it. What's the point of arguing?

Especially Benítez, who has not beaten Jiangshan yet! Whether it is the Champions League knockout or the Champions League final, Liverpool has only one outcome when it meets Jiangshan's team, which is to lose the game.

During this period, Liverpool's transfer committee was very powerful and controlled the team's player sales, so Benítez's ideas could not be realized. Benítez wanted a sofa, and Liverpool gave him two table lamps.

The best deals were still Benítez's fellow countrymen, Xabi Alonso and Torres, plus Mascherano. Benítez also bought a lot of other people, but he couldn't win the lottery.

Buying people is not smart, and selling people is messy, so it's hard to save it. Jiangshan is famous for his good eyesight in buying people, and rarely makes mistakes. As long as the players he likes, they can almost become talents.

However, this is not good. The team relies on his vision for buying players. They like to buy cheap and young players and are reluctant to invest. If Jiangshan remembers correctly, Atletico Madrid in the previous life also spent money crazily in the past few years. He didn't expect that the money supply would be tight after he took over.

What is the difference between this and AC Milan? Milan still has a championship-level team, what does Atletico Madrid have? The entire team structure was brought up by Jiangshan, and the pressure is huge.

Jiangshan walked into the stadium, Benítez was very enthusiastic and came to shake hands, "Mr. Jiangshan, we meet again, I hope to play a few more games with you this season."

"I think so too, I like strong opponents, your tactics make me very excited."

"You too, I'm going to treat you well today." Benítez smiled secretly, he arranged a new tactic, ready to strangle Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack, to see how Jiangshan cracked it.

Benítez is a tactical master, and he can often achieve brilliant results in a single game, but it is difficult to continue the league and he can't win the league championship in the Premier League. Of course, this has something to do with his thin lineup and his love of rotation.

This guy is superstitious about data analysis. Jiangshan's data analysis is just auxiliary material, but Benítez takes it as the golden rule. What is the conclusion? Xabi Alonso is not as good as Barry.

Well, Barry is more comprehensive than Alonso, so he is going to sell Alonso and buy Barry, who is comprehensive. Alonso was successfully sold, but Barry has not been bought yet...

Jiangshan's away lineup is almost the same as when playing against Barcelona, ​​with only one personnel adjustment.

Aguero was replaced by Di Maria. Aguero played the whole game continuously. His physical fitness has reached a bottleneck. It is difficult to maintain the state, so he got a chance to rest in this game.

Di Maria is very excited. He likes the feeling of galloping in the Champions League. As long as it is a Champions League game, he works very hard. Mendes saw Di Maria's positioning this season and secretly praised Jiangshan in his heart. He just hopes that Di Maria will be famous in the Champions League.

Benítez is more prepared. They have been relatively relaxed in recent league games, and they have also maintained their leading position in the league, and they are in high spirits.

"I have said long ago that as long as I have a good striker, I can create miracles, and we will definitely win the league championship. Moreover, we will also win the Champions League." Looking at Jiangshan, Benítez is convinced that he will win.

He is anesthetizing himself and believes in the players. In this game, they will start with Atletico Madrid.

Benítez's player arrangement is very particular. It looks like a 442 lineup, but in fact the players' positions are quite flexible. Robbie Keane even appears on the wing, leaving the middle to Torres.

They are partners on the striker line, and Torres is already one of the top five figures in the Golden Globe Award. Robbie Keane is convinced and is willing to be his deputy to assist him.

In the midfield position, Kuyt, Xabi Alonso, Mascherano and Gerrard are in charge. In fact, with Robbie Keane retreating from the striker line, and Gerrard always lurking behind the striker, their lineup is more like a 4231 position.

Finnan, Carragher, Agger and Aurelio are partners in the back line. This defense line is currently second only to Manchester United in the number of goals conceded in the Premier League, which is quite stable.

There is no dispute about the goalkeeper position. Reina is an iron starter. He has won the Premier League Golden Glove and is still in great competitive form.

Of course, Reina is unlucky. Like Valdes, he is a Spaniard. He met Casillas at his best age and can only be a substitute in the national team.

Atletico fans listened to the songs of Anfield, and their momentum weakened a bit and they were a little quiet.

The game started.

Atletico took the lead in attacking. Both sides started with probing. The attack was not large and not deep. But they tried their best in defense and did not give the other side any chance.

"It turns out that this fat guy has such a good idea. It's amazing." Jiangshan saw Liverpool's offensive method and agreed with it. They should play like this.

In order to deal with Atletico, Benitez made a special effort in the middle, using Roy Keane to involve Garcia's defensive surface, and then exerted Torres' power to keep moving forward.

Most importantly, Gerrard was lurking, dispatching and shooting from a distance at any time, and he was very thoughtful. In addition, Xabi Alonso was in the midfield, and he also had a great long-range shot, which was very threatening.

In the first 15 minutes, Atletico's defense encountered danger many times, and several shots were threatening. But Atletico's players had good tacit understanding, especially through constant defensive position changes, they tried their best to keep the goal.

Atletico blocked Liverpool's three-pronged attack and started a counterattack.

The midfield continued to penetrate and hit the ball to the front court. To the center forward and to the wing attack.

Costa is suspended in the league and will definitely not play in the next round against Real Madrid. Today, he spared no effort and rushed forward crazily.

"I want to prove one thing, that is, I am no worse than anyone, especially Torres. I must be stronger than him."

He rushed to the front court, facing Agger and Carragher alone. Somehow, Costa knocked down one and broke through the other, and rushed into the penalty area with red eyes.

Here it comes, with natural beauty, Costa's shot is simple and rough, a pragmatist. Reina is ready. Facing the incoming ball, he is fully prepared and blocked the ball with one foot.

In the 22nd minute, Costa's violent shot was blocked, but there was still a chance. The ball was desperately snatched by Garcia outside the penalty area, split, and Sanchez came again and also entered the penalty area.

Shoot, a calm low shot, tricky angle, more difficult to defend. Where is Aurelio? He was thrown away by Sanchez early and was eating farts behind his ass!

Reina instinctively went down, but it was too late. The ball went into the net. There was no problem with the goal, and it was very beautiful.

In the 23rd minute of the game, the score on the field changed, 1:0, Atletico Madrid took the lead away from home.

Benítez still looked incredible. How could it be possible? How did they take the lead?
