The Premier League has the most intensive schedule in European football. It has no winter break, and the season starts the earliest among the five major European leagues. They participate in many more games than the other four major European leagues.

Therefore, Premier League teams gather much earlier than teams in other leagues. The transfer period is just over halfway through, and Premier League teams have begun to gather to prepare for the new season. Liverpool’s gathering in the Premier League

It is also relatively early in the team.

Qiu Ze came to Liverpool two days early. He is now staying in a hotel in the Anfield area of ​​Liverpool. The reason why he came so early is to find a house. After all, he signed a three plus two contract with Liverpool.

, it is very likely that he will stay in Liverpool for three years, five years, or even longer. How can he do it without a house here?

However, Qiu Ze and his agent are very unfamiliar with Liverpool. It is really difficult to find a good house. Therefore, Qiu Ze has not found a suitable house in the past two days. It seems that finding a house is difficult.

This matter needs to be troubled by his teammates.

On the day of the training camp, Qiu Ze went there relatively early, but when he arrived at Melwood, some players had already arrived and were in the locker room. However, Qiu Ze did not go to the locker room immediately.

Instead, he was taken to his office by head coach Benitez.

Benitez handed a small book to Qiu Ze. This small book contained the team's disciplinary regulations and locker room regulations. Benitez did not want Qiu Ze to violate the team's discipline, otherwise he would not

Show mercy.

After Qiu Ze just listened to Benitez's words, Fernando Torres, who had met Qiu Ze before, came in. Along with him, there were several players who had just joined Liverpool this season. They were Babel and Berna.

forever.

Of course Chiu Ze knew Babel and Benanyon. These guys were still relatively famous in later generations, so of course Chiu Ze knew them. These two guys looked pretty good, and Chiu Ze nodded to them and said hello.

Qiu Ze, Babel and Benayoun know about it. They watched the joining ceremony of Fernando Torres and Qiu Ze, and they know the origin of this guy.

After a brief greeting, Benitez led the new players this season to the locker room. There were already many people in the locker room, as if the entire Liverpool team was here.

Benitez walked in and said to the Liverpool players: "Hey guys, how was your holiday?"

"Very good, boss! It couldn't be better! It's just that the holiday is too short!" Liverpool's players responded enthusiastically to the team's head coach, with the last complaint coming from Riise.

Listening to Rise's complaint, Benitez turned to look at Rise, smiled and said: "If you need a longer holiday, I can grant you a one-year holiday now, how about it?"

"Hahaha! Boss, you are joking! I've had enough fun, now it's time to fight hard! Charge for the league championship!" Riese was stared at by Benitez, and his heart trembled, and he immediately changed his mind.

said.

"Haha!" Benitez laughed out loud at being teased by this beast, and then he said with a straight face, "Just have fun! But, I remember I said before the end of the season, if anyone's physical fitness exceeds the standard, I will definitely

I won’t be lenient.”

Hearing what Benitez said, the faces of the Liverpool players changed and they felt a little uneasy.

"Okay! You guys should tidy up first, I'll be waiting for you outside!" Benitez smiled coldly, turned around and was about to go out, only then did he realize that there were several newly joined players behind him. Benitez

I muttered in my mind, "Why did I forget this?"

Benitez immediately turned around and said to Liverpool captain Gerrard: "Stephen, there are new teammates here, it's up to you!" After saying that, Benitez immediately turned around and walked out of the locker room.

Seeing team manager Benitez leaving, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard immediately walked up and said to Qiu Ze, Torres and others: "I am Steven Gerrard, the captain of Liverpool, welcome you.

Come with me now and let me introduce you to the members of our team!"

As the captain of the team, Steven Gerrard checked the newly introduced players of the team before the team training. He had some understanding of these new teammates. Gerrard led Qiu Ze and asked Qiu Ze

Ze and others introduced the Liverpool players.

The current main goalkeeper of Liverpool is Spaniard Reina. This guy looks very tough. However, when Gerrard introduced him, this guy actually showed a funny side, which really surprised Qiu Ze.

After quickly getting to know the Liverpool players, the team's assistant coach Paco Yesterdam walked in. He waved his hand to signal the players to get out quickly. Today's training session was officially about to begin.

.

This week, the training was mainly focused on recovery training. During this holiday, some families in Liverpool played too well and actually gained weight. This made Benitez very angry. He directly endured these guys.

Joined the fitness coach Juste Lino.

The whole team is practicing, and physical reserves before the season are very important. Especially in a league like the Premier League, which has a long season span and a super-intensive schedule, this physical reserve is even more important. Therefore, in the first week or so

At that time, Liverpool was all about recovery training and physical training.

This is the first time Qiu Ze has seen such a large amount of physical training. It is really different here from Portugal. In the past, whether in Beiramar or Benfica, there was not such a large amount of physical training before the season. Fortunately, Qiu Ze has good physical fitness.

Better, otherwise he would be taken down directly.

While Qiu Ze and others were training furiously, Liverpool's head coach Benitez, assistant coach and tactical analyst Duff McDonough were discussing and formulating tactics for the new season.

In fact, Benitez is not a coach who is very flexible in using various tactics. He is not like head coaches like Lippi and Ancelotti who can flexibly use different tactics and combine the characteristics of existing personnel.

Develop appropriate tactics.

Benitez is a coach who loves the 4-2-3 formation. He will not look at the existing players to arrange suitable tactics, but will network with players who are suitable for the 4-2-3 formation.

, implementing his favorite tactics.

In Benitez's tactical system, he advocates a four-three-one style of play, in which the stability of the back line is paramount. In the midfield and frontcourt, the three central midfielders correspond to interception, organization, and series forward penetration.

Role, the two full-backs are both offensive and defensive, and have strong running ability. The single forward has strong personal ability, can retreat to get the ball, and can also make the final blow in the penalty area.

Benitez spent three full seasons from the 2004-05 season constantly buying and selling players to adjust, and finally found the most suitable players for the style of play he admired: midfielder Mascherano + Alonso

+ Gerrard's trinity, the two wings Kuyt and Riera can play up and down, and now there is a comprehensive center like Torres on the forward line. Benitez firmly believes that Liverpool has a good future.

However, this season, they also introduced Qiu Ze in the midfield, so the three-man system in the midfield will need to be changed.

As mentioned before, Benitez is very knowledgeable about defensive restrictions, but he does not have many methods in terms of offense. In the midfield, Liverpool very much hopes to have a talented and offensive player, so Benitez

Tes can completely rest assured about Liverpool's offense in the new season.

Qiu Ze is such a guy. After watching the video of Qiu Ze's game, Benitez decided to take down this guy.

In the eyes of Benitez, Qiu Ze has excellent foot skills and a strong offensive instinct. He can pass, shoot, hold the ball and defend, and this guy can hit the ball and hit the side. This guy is simply an all-around midfielder.

If he wins the game, it will only benefit Liverpool.

In Benitez's view, Qiu Ze can replace any member of the Mascherano + Alonso + Gerrard system that he finally built, because this guy is comprehensive enough, and everyone can

It can be played in any position.

In Liverpool's previous system, the creativity of the midfield was actually very insufficient, and the flaws were obvious. As long as Alonso was restricted, Liverpool's midfield was almost paralyzed, and it was difficult to connect the front and back. Gerrard's impact

He is very powerful, but he is really lacking in creativity and organizing the team's offense.

In Benitez's tactical system, one of the two defensive midfielders must be responsible for defensive interception, while the other defensive midfielder is responsible for organizing, and the front midfielder is responsible for connecting the front and rear fields, and

You also need to have the ability to attack your opponent's defense.

Mascherano has been doing defensive interception work before. He did a good job before, but this guy didn't help the team very much in the offense. He was a purely defensive player. At this time, Bennett

Si thought, what if Mascherano is removed from this system, Gerrard is placed in the back, and Qiu Ze is allowed to play as an attacking midfielder? Would the effect be better?

Or, let Qiu Ze directly replace Mascherano? In this way, in Qiu Ze's position, he can defend, attack and organize. Will this reduce the pressure on Alonso?

Moreover, Benitez also thinks that Qiu Ze and Gerrard can change positions back and forth during the game and take turns attacking the opponent's defense. This will enrich Liverpool's offensive methods and solve Liverpool's offensive problems.

ah.

This is what Benítez has to discuss with assistant coach Paco Jestedam and tactical analyst Dav McDonov recently, and they don't have to make a training plan as soon as possible. Give it a try

Is this tactic feasible? If not, they still have time to change it. If the training plan is slow to come out, if it doesn't work by then, they won't have time to change it again.

For Liverpool, time is very tight right now. They have been conducting physical training over there, and the team here is studying tactics for the new season. It is really very busy.

During his usual physical training, Qiu Ze didn't expect that Liverpool's head coach was formulating tactics for him. If Qiu Ze knew this, he would be extremely happy.

After more than a week of physical training, Liverpool's players are almost exhausted. Even a guy with super physical fitness like Qiu Ze almost didn't survive. Liverpool's physical coach Juste Lino is really ruthless. And in terms of physical fitness

During training, Liverpool's Javier Mascherano was accidentally injured, which made the team's doctor Mark Waller very busy.

When they learned that Mascherano was injured, Benitez and assistant coach Paco Jestedam couldn't help but change their expressions. Did God also agree to remove Mascherano?
