In terms of physical fitness and defense level, Pepe is indeed a top central defender. He has excellent confrontation, excellent bounce, slow speed, and fast reaction. If he wasn't often dizzy by anger and could not control his temper, he would definitely be a perfect central defender template from a technical perspective. Jose used him to guard against those forwards with fast speed and good skills, which could be considered a standard prescription for the right medicine.

In the world where Jose was reborn, facing Messi who was almost invincible in the world, Pepe could do a pretty good job of guarding every time he was keeping a guard. There were few defenders who could achieve this level. Although Anelka was also a top striker, no matter how outstanding he was, he would not be as good as Messi at that time.

After breaking the ball, the ball that rolled out fell directly to Senna's feet. Senna quickly passed the ball to Macon on the right, and Mallorca's attack was launched again.

Maicon drove straight along the right side, and under Aurelio's entanglement, he still brought the ball to the 30-meter area. Then he quickly passed Klose in front of him. Scotter barely cleared the ball. After Kaka received the ball, he passed directly again. Klose took the ball in the penalty area, the lineman raised the flag, and offside.

One minute later, Henry passed the penalty area directly from the wing, and Klose was offside again. When Mallorca made a direct pass in the midfield, Liverpool's defense line would always move forward directly, leaving Klose in an offside position. So far, they have done a good job.

"I actually used this trick to make an offside... Is Benitez confident that he can be without any problems in a game?" Jose thought, touching his chin on the coach's seat.

The tactic of offside has always been a double-edged sword. Although it can easily resolve the opponent's attack, it will put himself in a more dangerous situation. If Benitez wants to end the game with zero to zero, he will take a huge risk by using offside tactics throughout the game.

However, it is obvious that Benitez did not think so. The offside tactic is just a way to solve Mallorca's attack at the beginning.

When Mallorca quickly changed his offensive style and Klose kept retreating to make the ball to create opportunities for both wings and teammates behind him, Liverpool began to reclaim defense, intending to use such defense to dampen Mallorca's morale.

First, he pressed the offside at the beginning, then created an offside, and then retreated the defense - he did not expect to block Mallorca's offense in one way. These practices were just to make Mallorca's offense encounter more trouble...

After all, the game is only ninety minutes, and it takes time for Mallorca to deal with these methods. The less time it can be used for offense, the more beneficial it will be for Liverpool.

At this time, the tactical exercises of breaking intensive defense arranged by Jose before the game played a role. No matter what method it was, they could quickly and automatically find a way to deal with it, saving time to the greatest extent!

"It seems that it is probably difficult to defend continuously..."

Seeing the Mallorca players on the court calmly changing their offensive methods, Benitez smiled bitterly in his heart.

If the weak want to defeat the strong, they naturally have to use more brains and use more conspiracies. However, if the conspiracy is understood, then there will be fewer effects. Only strong people with strong powers can use open conspiracies to deal with them.

Jose is now using open conspiracy - if you want to defend, I will strengthen the offense. When you get the first goal, your strategy will naturally be broken without attacking.

If the opponent you are facing is Arsenal, Jose alone is enough to make Mallorca have an 80% chance of winning, because Wenger is good at overall training and neglects on-site command, while facing Liverpool, this approach can only gain a slight advantage, because although Benitez's level in forming the entire team is not too high, his on-site command ability is undoubtedly first-class.

So now Mallorca also needs to score as soon as possible to smooth out the opponent's away goal advantage. The sooner Benitez's trump card and variables are forced out, the more time you have to deal with the opponent's changes.

Mallorca's players did not disappoint Jose. After a continuous attack, they finally created an excellent opportunity in the thirteenth minute!

Kaka passed the ball to Henry in the middle. Facing his familiar opponent, Henry quickly accelerated and changed direction, forcibly dribbled the ball and rushed over from Scotter, and then twisted his body and pushed the ball to the far corner from a very small angle!

Reina responded in time. Although he didn't have time to make a save, he subconsciously stretched his foot. The ball hit his foot and bounced up. Sissoko, who returned to the penalty area, cleared the ball out of the penalty area. Alonso, outside the penalty area, raised his foot and removed the ball and transferred the ball to the right as soon as possible. After Iniesta got the ball, he quickly made a wall-to-wave cooperation with Macon, and then lifted his foot and passed it straight through the penalty area. Under the pull of Henry and Klose, Kaka rushed into the penalty area from an open space and just received Iniesta's sharp straight pass. Before Scotter and Sissoko both fell to the ground and blocked it, they swung their right foot and shot vigorously. The ball hit Reina's leg again and bounced upwards, and then flew into the goal!

One to zero! After a continuous oppressive attack, Mallorca quickly scored a goal away! Liverpool's defense lasted for only thirteen minutes and the city gate opened!

When Kaka raised his hands to the sky, the whole Anfield began to become quiet!

Once upon a time, Anfield was always the place that all European teams were least willing to go to. Here they swept the entire Europe and made the Reds famous. However, now they can only see another team that performed better than they did at that time. They showed off their record in their home court and trampled on Liverpool's territory...

When the Mallorca players celebrated, there were dozens of people singing from a corner of the stadium, and the chorus was sang by Liverpool's team song "You Will Never Walk Alone".

"When you pass through a storm, hold your head high and don't be afraid of the darkness..."

"Within the wind and the rain, your dreams may be shattered, but with the hope in your heart, you will never walk alone-"

At first there were dozens of people, then hundreds of people, then a bleacher, and finally a torrent that swept across the entire Anfield stand!

They don’t like Liverpool’s previous approach of being strictly guarded, but they will not boo the team. At this time, they can only use collective singing to boost the team’s morale and express what they want to see!

Go and fight! Even if you die while standing, don’t live alone on your knees!

Hearing all this in his ears, Jose's face remained silent, but he sighed in his heart - this is the temperament of a traditional powerful man, and the precipitation and accumulation of a team with a glorious history in Europe. The only thing Mallorca lacks now is such accumulation...

The Liverpool players on the court looked off the court, wanting to see what Benitez thought, Benitez stood up and made a firm gesture.

Offense! Use offense to win the last hope!

Although the game only started thirteen minutes, Liverpool had no way out, just like the Soviet Union faced Germany's attack during World War II - there was no way out, and Moscow was behind it!

Liverpool has no way out, and Anfield is behind him!

Benitez has long set a strategy to start defending. If you lose the ball, you must attack - not to mention that the morale of the army is available now and morale is available!

"Be careful!" Jose made a gesture to the court. Now that Mallorca is ahead, the game will indeed enter the rhythm that Mallorca prefers, but they will also face a Liverpool team that is fighting against the water!

Benitez's on-site command ability is indeed very good. Jose did not expect to achieve the desired result from the beginning and then successfully locked in the battle. Next, it depends on who's attack is more sharp - you should know that although Mallorca has an advantage overall, Liverpool's attack is also terrifying enough when he fights to the death!

The real competition has only really begun now!

After the kick-off, Liverpool launched a tide of attacks amid the shouts of Liverpool fans!

Mallorca is better at attacking in this game, so they did not retract their defense, but instead pushed forward resolutely, just like two waves, the two sides collided violently in the midfield, causing splashes all over the sky!

Liverpool did not entangle with Mallorca in the midfield. In terms of skills, they definitely cannot compare with Mallorca. However, Liverpool's offense is good at speed and concise. When Mascherano quickly passed the ball to Gerald, Gerald also quickly passed it straight, passing the ball to Anelka in front.

Facing Pepe's defense, Anelka took a step forward, then immediately took a kick and shot from the front of the penalty area. Pepe, who was flying over, blocked it with his body.

Mallorca launched a counterattack, and Alonso passed the ball to Klose who was pulling the side in the middle. Klose got a gap in the cross under Puerta's involvement. He passed the ball directly to the back point, and Kaka inserted it directly shot the ball. The ball hit Agre's body and changed the line. Reina flew to confiscate the ball.

One minute later, Senna knocked down Gerald in the midfield and received a yellow card. Gerald took the free kick himself. The ball was bypassed by the wall but was confiscated by Van derssa. Van derssa threw the ball with his hand and launched a counterattack. Kaka broke through from the left and passed it straight. Puerta received the ball and made a cross. Reina attacked in time and hit the ball from Klose's head with both fists.

During the next period, both sides began to attack back and forth, just to see who can better suppress the opponent, get more opportunities and score first!

Mallorca can score first, and the advantage of leading two goals will put them in an extremely favorable position. If Liverpool can equalize the score, they will be able to play more calmly next!

Although it is more beneficial for Mallorca, because even if Liverpool scores first, as long as they score another goal, they can break the balance on the court. However, this is also the only place that Liverpool can use. To equalize the score, they can play safer next, try to drag the game into overtime or even penalty shootouts... This is their only path.

Maybe it was the Liverpool fans singing in the stands that inspired them, maybe it was their luck to be better. In short, when the game reached the 30th minute, Aurerio hit Mathias with a cross from the side and changed direction. Van dersar barely saved the ball from the baseline. Gerrard took a corner kick, and the ball bypassed the two central defenders of Mallorca in the middle. Agel, who was inserted in the back row, rushed to the top at the back point. Van dersar failed to react and the ball flew into the goal!

One to one! In the louder song of "You Will Never Walk Alone", Liverpool players celebrated frantically. They still broke through Mallorca's goal in the attack, which brought them a draw in the total score and also brought them a stronger self-confidence!
