The Ball at Your Feet

The outside instep rubbing pass is an extremely annoying technique in the eyes of a defender.

The strength of the outer instep is large, and the arc of the kick will be large. And the larger the arc, the more difficult it is to judge the line. This is a very basic thing.

But if it's just a defensive line that is difficult to judge, it's not particularly annoying. There is another annoying thing about the outer instep rubbing pass, that is, his arc is counter-rotating. In other people's bottom passes, the forward player just judges the right place, and he must have a certain header technique to stop the ball. But if the outside instep is rubbed and passed, because the arc is favorable, as long as the header can be judged on the right spot, it can almost be sent into the gate with a rub.

Of course, although this kind of technology is powerful, it is also very difficult to master. At least when he was in Monaco, Zhao Yaning used the outside instep to do the movement, that is, only the explosive pass of the calf was completed, or occasionally tried outside instep shots at the front of the penalty area. In the past, he couldn't make such movements.

"The best thing about Joey is not that he has good skills and brains, but that he can make continuous progress and never feel satisfied."

The coach's words reminded Squelach. This also made him feel a little bit. When he first met Zhao Yaning three years ago, Zhao Yaning was just a fast, technically superior side laner. Now, he is already a big star he can't stop.

"Sebass, you can't stop it." Zhao Yaning said with a smile, "You are not far behind kicking on the side."

Squelach snorted fiercely, and walked back by himself without talking nonsense with him.

And the game continued after this.

"Zhao Yaning's pass created an excellent goal for Liverpool. But this Liverpool's attack is still not very good. After all, they just lost Owen, their attack still needs adjustment, Zhao Yaning showed his Potential, but he has not been able to fully integrate into the team.” Martin Taylor said here and couldn’t help sighing, “If Zhao Yaning came in July, he should have been co-training almost now, but now, he It really takes time to integrate into Liverpool."

In fact, Liverpool's frontcourt integration is not very good. Whether it is Luis García, Riise, Baroche, it can be said that there is no cooperation. For Liverpool’s frontcourt, Luis Garcia is also a newcomer. Baroche has just been promoted from the bench to the main force. However, Kewell has been injured and stopped and needs to be supplemented by others from time to time. Such a frontcourt is indeed very good. It is difficult to cooperate with any outstanding attack.

Benitez can now rely on, except for Zhao Yaning's pull and breakthrough on the flank, he can only rely on Gerrard's forward penetration in the center and Luis Garcia's skills to play.

As the game progressed, Squillaci's defense against Zhao Yaning became tighter, and Alonso on the defensive midfielder no longer passed the ball too much to the side. Instead, Gerrard leaned on the back row, and after a match with Garcia, he sent the ball into the penalty area, but after Baros got the ball, he smashed the ball and sent the ball. Give's feet.

Throughout the first half, neither side could make any more achievements, until the end of the first half, the score was still 1-0.

After entering the locker room, Benitez also made tactical adjustments.

"In the second half of the game, you shouldn't move to the sideways frequently. The reason why I let you play in the middle is based on my thinking. Don't tamper with my arrangement at will." Benitez made the first adjustment. .

Benitez was also very depressed at this time. In his tactics, what he needs is to be able to widen the wing for the center, and to control the situation in the center, passing and inserting require a relatively good midfielder. The reason why he put Zhao Yaning in the middle and Garcia on the wing is also because of this idea: Zhao Yaning has better breakthrough ability and can better break through the defense when he is in the middle. While Garcia is on the wing, although his dribbling is not as good as Zhao Yaning, his running position is flexible and clever, relying on more running, constantly interspersing in the gap, and also widening the width.

The purpose of his arrangement is to maximize the role of everyone.

And he banned Zhao Yaning from running back and forth for a reason. Liverpool's lineup is limited and not thick enough, and every major player has to play a lot of games. Garcia is on the wing and Zhao Yaning is in the middle, which can save Zhao Yaning a lot of physical energy. If Zhao Yaning is running on the wing, the physical consumption will increase too much.

It is out of this strategic consideration that Benitez made this lineup arrangement. After all, Zhao Yaning is one of Liverpool's best links. It is very important to retain his physical strength to the greatest extent so that he can perform better.

Although Zhao Yaning had no problems on the side, he even did better than Garcia. But the problem is that Luis Garcia in the middle can't achieve the effect he wants. Therefore, these two people cannot switch positions.

In the middle, he needs a player who can take the ball, play the ball, and get in. But Garcia's performance is indeed unqualified. When he plays well, he can do all the requirements of Benitez. Unfortunately, this demon knife cannot guarantee that he will play well at all times. His play is too unstable, and it is always good and bad. Play, unable to support the middle. For Garcia's question, Benitez can understand why. Garcia's ball-handling skills are not good enough. His creativity is far greater than his dribbling ability. Although he has good creativity and imagination, but the basic skills are not solid enough, this is the problem. Benitez is familiar with Garcia's method of playing, so he also arranges Garcia very carefully.

Such problems are not irreparable. Relying on more running, interspersed running in the frontcourt, and constantly moving to the ball-free zone can make up for this deficiency. Benitez just wants to rely on this kind of running to make up for the shortcomings, so that Liverpool can have more frontcourt cooperation. He can't go to the middle. In that case, he becomes a gambling character. Since losing to Inter Milan who led Valencia to Cooper, Benitez has lost confidence in his luck-Toldo Played two games in a lifetime with external plug-ins, but let him meet once, so what can I say?

Let Zhao Yaning play in the middle and Luis Garcia play on the wing. Although it is more physically demanding, although Zhao Yaning showed excellent strength last year, it should be able to play out. And now, he can't do anything without taking a gamble. Luis Garcia couldn't support the overall situation in the middle. Kewell was an old sickman, and the game was interrupted. Apart from letting Zhao Yaning to the middle, no one else was available.

It is precisely for this reason that he tirelessly emphasizes that Zhao Yaning's position cannot be changed every time: this is not a tactical consideration, but also a strategic consideration.

"And again, Milito replaced Baroche."

Baroche took the golden boots in the European Cup, which also made Liverpool extremely value him. After Owen left, he was trained as a main striker. Although Benitez is not satisfied with him, he can only focus on cultivating him.

But now, Benitez still chose to replace him. There is a big problem with his technical characteristics: he has good ball handling ability, but he is too sticky. Every time I get into the penalty area, I think about buckling a step and then shooting again. This style of play is not the style of a good striker.

In the final analysis, the biggest reason for his ability to win the European Cup Golden Boot is because of an injury last season, rested for several months, recharged, and full of energy in the European Cup. Coupled with the ability of the national team's midfielders to be very involved, he has enough time and space to prepare for the goal. But now, in club games, his problem of sticking the ball has been exposed.

As for the two substitutes on Liverpool's striker, Pangler and Milito, Benitez still prefers Milito. In any case, he brought this to Liverpool, and he still prefers to use his own people than Pangler, who was born in Ligue 1.

"Your task after you go up is not to shoot, but to make the ball. Unless the chance is particularly good~www.wuxiaspot.com~, don't kick the goal. Do the ball back, Rise, Zhao Yaning, Garcia, Jera Germany, you can give it to anyone. As long as you can kick the ball back, you are considered successful."

Milito was still playing in Italy's second division last season, and Benitez is still a little worried about his level. Therefore, what he needs is Milito to turn around instead of shooting himself. He believed that Milito could still accomplish this task.

As for shooting, he still can't trust Milito. After all, this kind of game is too big for Milito.

But at the beginning of the second half of the game, the problem still appeared. When Zhao Yaning swayed Zicos in the middle and passed the ball to the penalty area, Milito failed to bypass Rodriguez's defense after getting the ball. Instead, he slipped under his feet and almost fell to the ground. !

Such a question made Benitez frown. Physical fitness is not good enough. If you are not strong enough, you will lose out against the English and French teams.

However, after a period of cooperation, Luis Garcia and Zhao Yaning both performed well. After Zhao Yaning's support gradually increased, Garcia felt like a fish in the water on the side. After all, the side does not have the defensive strength of playing in the center. With a little support, there is a lot of room for activity, giving him room to play.

On the middle road, Zhao Yaning also gradually found his position.

And soon, after Gerrard’s plug in, Zhao Yaning ran to the left, but passed the ball to Gerrard’s feet. Gerrard stopped the ball, and then suddenly it was a heavy bombardment. The goal banged loudly, and this crossbar made the Monaco players a little discolored.

This is the fighting power Liverpool should have.
