Strictly speaking, this is Ye Qiu's third time sitting in the stands to watch his team's game.

The first time was when he was sent off in the middle of the game, and the second time was when he played Porto before. Now this time is the third time, but it is obvious that the three experiences gave Ye Qiu a completely different feeling.

The previous two times he used his mobile phone and notes to indirectly command the team. He still felt a sense of participation, still nervous and focused, but this time he felt completely isolated from the game and acted as a complete spectator, which made him feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Because for the first time he discovered that he was sitting in the stands, watching his team being bombarded by his opponent, and watching his team being beaten in a mess by his opponent, while he was powerless at all, the feeling was too frustrating and too depressed.

Benitez is definitely the football world today. It is hard to say whether he is the number one, but at least he is at the top tactical master. He not only has a very outstanding sense of targeted tactics, but he is also very good at learning and learning.

Many people say that Liverpool is very similar to Chelsea last season, because Benitez often makes three players, Gerald, Xavi Alonso and Harman, which is very similar to Chelsea's 43l tactics last season.

Of course, the frontcourt is different. Chelsea's frontcourt was Ronaldinho and Lampard, the center was Drogba, while Liverpool's frontcourt was Rieser and Luis Garcia, and the center was Barroche. Chelsea paid more attention to both ribs and the middle, while Liverpool paid more attention to the wing.

This also has a certain relationship with the general lack of offensive ability of Liverpool's full-backs. If the full-back lacks offensive ability and cannot place two players with certain wing ability in the winger position, the entire team's wing will be completely disabled, and Xavi Alonso's excellent long pass dispatch will also lose its effect.

Therefore, Ye Qiu felt that whether Benitez admitted it or not, his Liverpool's tactics are definitely to clone Chelsea's tactics, and then improve and adjust according to his own characteristics, and finally draw the tactics of Liverpool this season.

But this does not mean that Liverpool's tactics are worse than Chelsea last season. From the perspective of personnel quality, Liverpool is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. After all, Chelsea has big names in the team and the overall strength of the team is strong, but Liverpool prefers practical players, so there is definitely a gap in overall quality.

Benitez's tactics have his superiority, that is, defense on the wing.

When Chelsea used full-back forward to participate in the offense, it was due to the team's strong midfielder. Although this made Chelsea maintain a balance overall, performed well, and had a strong defense, it was always a weakness and deficit. However, Liverpool in turn adopted a combination of defensive full-backs and offensive wingers to ensure the wide-range defense to the greatest extent.

Theoretically, Liverpool can play defensively with a defensive full-back style, which can help the midfield to a certain extent. Long-range shot experts and offensive experts like Xavi Alonso and Gerrard have more opportunities to invest in the offense.

Everything has two sides, and there are advantages and disadvantages.

If you don't grasp the distance between the two, you may repeat the weakness of Ajax's previous period, which is the disconnection of the wing. For this, Benitez adopts the forward pressure tactic, defends at high positions, and pushes the defense forward. However, in this way, the defensive pursuit and turning flexibility are a problem.

Another thing is that Riser and Luis Garcia were both divided into the wing, and the distance between the forward Barroche and the three midfielders was too long, which directly led to Liverpool's offense not being strong enough in the middle, and even directly caused Liverpool's lack of offensive ability.

Therefore, in many cases, Benitez gives Gerald the greatest freedom, allowing Gerald to step forward and participate in the offense at any time according to his own observations. However, Gerald's characteristics are not the type of player who connects the front line and the midfield. Therefore, Liverpool's offense relies too much on the wing, which is another problem.

Another equally serious problem is Barroche. As a striker, the Czechs are obviously not suitable for single forward tactics, especially this single center tactic that is at the forefront. Not only Barroche is not suitable, but Cice and Pangler are also not suitable. Morientes is theoretically very suitable, but his playing rhythm cannot adapt to the Premier League and his performance is relatively average.

In this game, Ye Qiu's defense obviously adopted the strategy of putting the wing and locking the middle.

The three lines remain in a compact formation, and the defensive center is concentrated in the middle. Once Liverpool pushes into the 30-meter wing, Chelsea's two full-backs will immediately maintain a close connection with the central defenders, blocking Liverpool's in-cutting path on the wing and forcing you to cross.

Baros is not a tough center. Under the clamping of Cannavaro and Galas, Liverpool's header can only be a waste of effort again and again, but the Czechs find it difficult to take even a slight advantage from Chelsea's defense.

In this game, Ye Qiu's midfield arrangement also changed. Deco has become an important member of the team's back-drag defense. He always drags in the end in the three midfielders, while Davis and Parker take large-scale runs and pressing interceptions.

Here we must mention a very important consideration for the configuration of midfield defensive players.

In the eyes of many people, the defensive midfielder is divided into a midfielder with excellent position and awareness, and a large-scale running cover like Gattuso. I believe many people think that this is just a difference in the defense method, but I don’t know if anyone has considered it. This is actually the difference in the tactical system they are adapted to.

The area of ​​the rear midfielder coverage area is relatively small. If it is a team with poor pressing and oppressing, his weaknesses will be exposed. That is, if Marklele goes to AC Milan to replace Gattuso, it will definitely be a big tragedy, because the other three midfielders in AC Milan are not very running or pressing, and the midfield has a lot of space exposed, and the defenders need to run continuously to complete coverage and fill loopholes. This is not what Marklele is good at.

Therefore, in Real Madrid, the current superstars are no longer pressing, and Marklele needs a partner with a large running range. For example, Elgra and Ye Qiu even thought that if it were a combination of Marklele and Beckham, the effect might be very ideal, and at least there would be no rapid fall of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship.

Gattuso, Essin, and Davis are all covered midfielders with large-scale running. Their biggest role is to fill the gaps, so the premise is that there are gaps for them to run to fill. If it is a team with very meticulous defense and very tight pressing from front to back, the role they can play will become smaller.

For example, in Chelsea's previous life, many fans said that Essing likes to run around and run without wisdom. In fact, there are indeed reasons for players, but there is also an important factor that is that the team's tactics are very meticulous. When Essing finds a loophole and wants to run over to fill it up, his teammates have already blocked it in advance. When he runs halfway through, he will find that he has no need to run again. What he has done before becomes useless and becomes running around.

Why did Ye Qiu use Davis last season but not this season?

Because Chelsea was generally loose last season, Ronaldinho basically did not invest in defense, and other players also needed to adapt to the team's tactical system, which gave Davis room to play, and the existence of the Dutch Wild Boars could also fill Chelsea's midfield loopholes to the maximum extent and play a key role.

But this season, Chelsea's tactical system has taken shape, and everyone has cooperated tacitly. The entire system from front to back is very strict, so Davis has little room for play. On the contrary, Mark Lele played an increasingly important role, which is why.

Ye Qiu has always felt that every professional player has his fixed characteristics, and the most important thing for a head coach is to discover the characteristics of the players and combine a set of stable tactical systems based on the characteristics of the players.

By the same token, the head coach needs to arrange different players according to different opponents in each game and form different tactics. This is the biggest role of the head coach.

In this game, Ye Qiu arranged for Davis, Deco and Parker to start, which was indeed a helpless move, because Mark Lele was absent. In Ye Qiu's view, Deco is the one who can trust the most in the team, so he arranged for Deco to drag the ball. Davis and Parker both took a large-scale coverage battle. In addition, Cannavaro and Galas provided appropriate support to the midfield, blocking Chelsea's shortcomings and weaknesses in the midfield position, and also blocking the offensive threat inserted in Liverpool's middle ground.

From the beginning of reaching the finals, Ye Qiu spent ten days constantly instilling his tactical ideas for the finals against Tencart, Roland and other coaching teams, focusing on defense. If you can fight back, you can fight back. If you can fight back, you can defend to the end. If you can’t fight back, you can defend to the end. If you don’t lose the ball, you can drag the game into a penalty shootout.

Moreover, Ye Qiu spent a lot of time practicing the penalty shootout. He collected all the characteristics of Liverpool players' penalty kicks and handed over all the penalty habits of Liverpool players to Cudicini. He even specially imitated Liverpool players' penalty habits to help Cudicini train. He did not give up until Cudicini knew everything.

For Ye Qiu, he could not directly command the game and faced a tactical master like Benitez. What he could do was to ensure that the team could hold on to the end as smoothly as possible, strive to win the championship, and the defensive counterattack was undoubtedly the safest way, and what the coaching staff had to do was to adjust the team's defensive structure.

For those like Tengcart, Roland, who have followed Ye Qiu for many years, this is not difficult

This is also the only limit that Ye Qiu can achieve

The offense and defense conversion of the game goes very quickly, very quickly.

Although Ye Qiu sat in the chairman's stands and failed to get first-hand data from the coaching staff, he could feel that the ball rights were changing rapidly almost every minute. This also shows how fierce the competition is in the game, but at the same time it also reflects that both teams are putting a lot of effort into targeting.

The game process and viewing are still good, and it can even be said to be good, because fast-paced games are often fascinated by fans and forgetting time. However, in Ye Qiu's opinion, the offense of both teams has not shown their own characteristics, and Liverpool's offense is not strong at all, so there is no need to say that Chelsea was sent off the court because of the absence of many main players, and the head coach was sent off the court and did not make an attack. Both sides made a lot of work on defense.

The first half ended 0, but there was still no change after the start of the second half, and the same tactics were still adopted.

If it is normal, Ye Qiu is worried about the constant passing of game time, but he hopes that the game time will go faster in this game. It is best to skip 0 minutes directly and enter the penalty shootout, because he feels that Chelsea will definitely win more confidently than normal games in the penalty shootout.

As the game progressed at a fast pace, the physical energy consumption of both players became more and more serious. Ye Qiu saw Parker cramps in the stands after a defense. When he raised his head and looked at the time, he found that it was already more than 80 minutes and the game was about to enter overtime, but both sides did not make any substitutions at all.

This is because both sides are very clear that this game is obviously no longer a duel between tactics and player strength. The tactics of both head coaches have restrained each other well and offset each other. The gap in player strength is not big. What is more important now is the competition of players' willpower.

Now that the substitution is made, you have to bear the risk after the substitution, especially for Liverpool.

After Parker's leg cramps, Tencart immediately replaced Parker with Essim and continued to adopt the same tactics, because both players are midfielders who run and press in a large range. The impact is not very big after substitutions, and Essim is physically in good health and can maximize the vitality of Chelsea midfield after playing.

Benitez seemed to realize the problem. In the RU minute, Cowell replaced Luis Garcia, and Espanyol also got cramped. After playing, Cowell was pulled to the center, Gerald was on the right, a bit like the right forward, while Riser's position was appropriately retreated and also played the wing forward.

Tencart, according to Ye Qiu's pre-match arrangement, after Essin took the game, appropriately expanded the team's defense range, on the one hand, prevented Liverpool's threat, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the opponent to make mistakes.

It has to be admitted that Liverpool is indeed a team with very high tactical execution. Under Benitez's coach, this team's tactical qualities are ridiculously high. There was no even a threatening mistake in the whole game, which made it difficult for Chelsea to counterattack to threaten.

Moreover, Ye Qiu is not here, Tengkater and the players dare not invest too much force in the counterattack. After all, if there are too many troops invested in the counterattack, the defense will definitely be weakened. As long as the time is not grasped well enough, Liverpool may seize the opportunity anytime and anywhere.

As time passed by minute by minute, players on both sides gradually developed physical problems, especially after the 90-minute official game, they began to enter a half-hour overtime match. The players' physical fitness problems frequently occurred, and players kept cramping.

Liverpool made the first adjustment. After entering overtime, Benitez immediately replaced Finnan with Smitchell, allowing Traore, Hepia and Carragher to form three defenders. It is obvious that the team's offense is to further strengthen the team's offense. Smitchell's passing and organizational skills are very good. He went up to improve his ability to pass and threaten the ball.

At the same time, Benitez replaced Barroche with Cice. The Czech forward was suppressed by Chelsea's defense throughout the game. His performance was very bad, and it was natural to be replaced.

Ye Qiu may have a series of changes before the game against Liverpool, allowing his assistants to adjust and choose according to the situation, including after Liverpool changed to play as a three-back, the team should actively adopt a wing counterattack strategy.

So, when Liverpool moved on this side, Chelsea also started to make substitutions. Deco came down and Evra came on. Goodjohansen was pulled back to the midfield. Rooney played in the middle, Ribery went to the right, and Evra occupied the left and made full use of Evra's abundant physical energy to attack Liverpool's defense.

After playing, Evra, who was more physically fit, obviously became an important counterattack point for Chelsea. Ribery was on the right and Evra was on the left. The speed of both players greatly threatened Liverpool's defense, making it difficult for the Reds to devote all their energy to the offense.

In the 100th minute, Chelsea counterattacked a long pass. Evra made a quick rush from the left. After getting the ball, he made a cross to the bottom line. Hypia beat Rooney and headed the ball, but failed to reach it. Ribery responded from the back point, but because the ball was disturbed by Hypia, he turned the direction and made a misjudgment. In a hurry, French Scarface directly slapped a golden hook, but failed to apply force and was confiscated by Dudek.

Although he failed to score, Chelsea seemed to have tasted the sweetness and soon launched another attack. This time it was from the right. Sun Jihai made a cross from the front and back. Rooney got the ball and drifted past Haipia. In a hurry, he quickly shot and the ball was slightly higher.

Two consecutive waves of offensives created threats, and immediately followed, Goodjohnson fell to the ground and cramped. Chelsea immediately made a substitution. In the 103rd minute, Joe Kerr replaced Goodjohnson to further strengthen the attack.

In the second half of overtime, Chelsea seemed to consciously strengthen the team's offensive, especially after Liverpool turned to the three-back tactics, the weaknesses of the wing were exposed. Evra and Ribery kept rushing back and forth on both sides, and Rooney also created a great threat in the middle. In addition, Joe Kerr passed the ball from the back, Chelsea's offensive began to improve.

But in the stands, Ye Qiu couldn't sit still. He stood up from his seat and kept shaking his head. He didn't know whether his players could see his movements. If possible, they should know that this was a trap.

The deadliest trap

On the one hand, playing three defenders is to strengthen the offense, but it also exposes the weaknesses of the wing defense; but the problem is that Chelsea uses Liverpool's wing weaknesses to create opportunities, but at the same time it is also taking the risk of being counterattacked by the opponent.

There are pros and cons, everything has two sides, and now Chelsea has obviously been consciously seduced and beaten by Liverpool.

This is the benefit of the head coach standing on the sidelines to command. If Ye Qiu is there, he will definitely stop the players' actions as soon as possible, but the person standing on the sidelines to command is not him.

If you continue to play like this, the goal will be in danger
