Chapter 74 Perfect Revenge
Wan Sheng stood in the locker room and looked at the players around him.
They all just came back from warm-up. In order to recover some form as soon as possible, the whole team went to warm-up after entering the stadium, and did not return to the locker room until the fans came to the end.
This is the last time.
The tactics have been arranged, and everything that needs to be said has been said, but Wansheng still gave the players a final message, "The game will be played in a while, this is Anfield Stadium, the last time we won 2:1 here, but That was in the league, now it's the League Cup. I don't want to see people who don't pay attention to the game, careless and underestimate the enemy!"
"Yes, we beat Liverpool twice, but that doesn't mean we can beat them easily. If a year ago, when we played against Liverpool, you would not have thought we could win easily, but now I believe that among you A lot of people are thinking that way."
After listening to Wansheng's words, many players bowed their heads.
Wan Sheng is right, many of them feel that the victory of the game will belong to them, which is not surprising, they have doubled Liverpool in the league this season, and also won the game at Anfield, which is already two years. The team has played against each other for the third time. The first two wins have greatly boosted their confidence. Naturally, they will think that the game will be easy.
In particular, there were many media reports before the game that Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe would not start, but they all knew that the two had fully recovered, and there were no problems in the training match yesterday, and they performed quite well.
This is the team's advantage.
Therefore, in this game, many players feel that it is not difficult to win.
But Wan Sheng's face was very solemn at this time, "Now I want to tell you, I have never put my opponent in the eye!"
Wan Sheng's words surprised many people, but he continued to say, "Yes. I don't care, Liverpool are just, they are much worse than Chelsea and Manchester United, but there is a saying in China that" Strategically despise the opponent, tactically attach importance to the opponent', which means that we have to despise the opponent from the general trend, when we really do it. We have to attach great importance to the opponent."
"If we can do that, we'll be a strong team, and if we don't look down on our opponents when we play against them, then we're just idiots who made a careless mistake!"
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Everyone listens and thinks.
They carefully tasted the meaning of Wansheng's words, and they really felt that it was very reasonable. On weekdays, they said that the team would definitely win or something, but when it comes to the game, they must be serious. There are too many games where the strong team loses to the weak team. What's more, compared with Liverpool, they are not a strong team at all.
Even beat Liverpool twice. When it comes to the game, you still need to be serious, otherwise it's no surprise to lose the game.
Thinking about it this way, they felt that Chinese culture is really broad and profound, and that such a short sentence actually covered such a big truth. At the same time, they also took Wan Sheng's words in their hearts and paid more attention to the upcoming competition.
Wansheng didn't know what the players were thinking, but a reminder at the end would have some effect. He didn't want to see the team careless. What's more, the goal of this game is not just to win.
But he doesn't say to the players, 'We're going to try to score as many goals as possible' because that puts pressure on the team and the coach asks for more goals before the game starts, which is very likely It will affect the team's performance on the field. Wansheng won't do this. What he does is to formulate tactics, boost morale, and add some on-the-spot command. He hopes that the team can beat Liverpool, but if it can't do it. Even if you say what you want to win now, it will not have the slightest effect. On the contrary, it is likely to have the opposite effect and make the team perform worse.
......
before the game. The media reporters finally got the confirmed starting list for this game.
When they saw the starting line-ups for both teams, they were very surprised, because Derby County's starting lineup was different from what they had imagined. Van der Vaart and Ivan Crewe were both in the starting lineup.
At this time, they felt that they were really 'in the game', and they fell in the same place twice. They gnashed their teeth at Wansheng, but they didn't think that their 'trick' was entirely attributable to their own defeat of Wansheng. There is no need to speculate, if they believe in Wansheng, what Wansheng said is not deceitful at all, and it is completely true, but they don't believe it, which is why the current result is caused.
But they didn't have time to think too much at this time. When the whole game started, they didn't care about Derby County's starting lineup at all, and all their attention was on the game.
The start of the game was great!
Liverpool took advantage of the kick-off to launch a fierce attack on Derby County's half, but soon as the attack was intercepted, the attacking side was replaced by Derby County, and Derby County also played a targeted attack to threaten Liverpool's goal.
In less than two minutes of the opening, the two teams had an offense and defense against each other. Derby County's offense also threatened Liverpool's goal. This opening is very shocking to the fans.
Seeing this scene, the fans are very happy.
Whether it is Liverpool fans, Derby County fans, or neutral fans, they all hope that the game will be exciting. After all, no one wants to see a dull game. Even if their team wins, with the dull game in the audience, the fans will also It's hard to lift the spirits.
Now the game has just started, the two teams have an offense against each other, and they played so wonderfully that all fans are looking forward to the next game even more.
The players on both teams are also working hard.
Instead of the usual defensive-oriented performance, Liverpool pressed heavily on the opening game, obviously wanting to win the scoring advantage from the opening game.
The same is true for Derby County. Their defense is placed on the whole field, and the pressing defense method of the whole field once again appears on the field, and they are also mainly attacking, and they will launch a fierce attack towards the Liverpool half if they have the opportunity.
Both teams want to score first.
As long as they can score first, they have the upper hand. Both teams understand this. The first goal is still very important. However, the media who followed the game at this time were very surprised, because Liverpool always played very well. Conservative, rarely go aggressive like this, even at Anfield, but in the face of Derby County, who are good at attacking, choose to take the initiative to attack. Not Liverpool style.
Derby County chose to take the initiative to attack, which was beyond the expectations of many people.
Since Morris was injured, the biggest change in Derby County is the tactics of the game. Since Christmas, Derby County's choice in several games has been based on solid defense. Even if all the games are won, everyone's opinion on Derby County The impression is that it is difficult for this team to play a wonderful offensive in the first half of the schedule, which is one of the reasons why the media believe that Derby County is suffering from an injury crisis and the team's performance will be greatly affected. After all, even the tactical style of the game has been dragged down by injuries and has changed, and it is natural to affect the results.
But now Derby County has chosen to attack at Anfield.
Although the opening time was not long, the two teams attacked each other in several waves. Everyone knew that, at least in the first half, the two teams were competing for the first goal, and they were mainly attacking.
Although many people were a little surprised, they were looking forward to the game a little more.
The game will look good, for sure.
......
It must be admitted that Liverpool's strength is still quite strong, even if they have been weak in the front line recently. In many games, the defense must be solid first, but when they choose to take the initiative to attack, the threat is still very large.
Liverpool's most outstanding performance is the midfield. The midfield with Steven Gerrard as the core has a very strong style of play. Even if Derby County presses the whole court and the players have a wider range of movement than Liverpool, it is difficult to achieve anything in the midfield competition. Advantage.
Wansheng was not surprised by this.
He is very clear that Liverpool is not a team that can be underestimated. If Liverpool does not have this ability, how can there be a chance to win the Champions League this season? At least in memory, this year's Champions League belongs to Liverpool. To win this championship, in addition to some luck, one's own strength is also necessary.
It's not easy to beat Liverpool, or even beat Liverpool by a big score. That's why Wansheng will have such a performance before the game to fan Benitez, in order to increase the team's chances of winning. This gives the team a chance to beat the opponent by a big score.
It's not to say that after Wansheng does that, the game will become easier to play, it just increases hope. In terms of probability figures, if you don't do that. To beat Liverpool away, the odds would be 50%. Beating Liverpool by a big score is only 20%, and now the probability of beating Liverpool is 70%, and beating Liverpool by a big score will reach 30%, although it is not certain to be so accurate, but this is also Wansheng's estimate.
Either way, it's always good to increase your odds of defeating your opponent.
Wansheng was actually a little surprised when he saw that Liverpool did not passively defend, but attacked to prepare for an offensive battle with the team, but he understood after thinking about it.
He doesn't want to go through the two matches in the League Cup, and Benitez doesn't want it either. Both teams have some problems at the moment. Carefully, they all hope that one game will determine the outcome. To achieve this goal, the first game must be a big one. The score is possible.
Both teams take the initiative to attack, and it will naturally be easier to score goals. Perhaps the probability of defeating Liverpool has not increased, but the probability of defeating Liverpool by a large score may have increased a lot.
Just when Wan Sheng was thinking so, the game suddenly changed.
Osman defended very hard. He stood in front of the penalty area to stop Liverpool's offensive and prevented the opponent from having the opportunity to pass the ball into the penalty area. He shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense and kept running around the front of the penalty area, causing a lot of obstacles to Liverpool's attack. , but this time he faced Gerrard, still somewhat negligent.
He originally thought that Gerrard would pass the ball to his teammates, so he staggered his position and wanted to find an opportunity to intercept the pass, but when he didn't expect it, Gerrard directly chose to shoot.
This is thirty meters away from the goal!
He was running close to Gerrard, and when he saw Gerrard swinging his right foot, he subconsciously thought it was a diagonal forward pass, so he stretched out his foot to block it, but he didn't expect Gerrard to be shooting. By the time the football had rushed out.
Osman turned around and almost fell to the ground. He could only watch the football rush past him. Immediately, he turned his head and saw the football rushing through the penalty area and flying over Karachi, hitting the crossbar and bouncing down. goal.
"Gooooal!!!" The Anfield commentator exclaimed excitedly, "Gerrard! Gerrard! He helped Liverpool take the lead! This is the 19th minute of the game, and Gerrard uses a 30-meter kick A long shot from outside to break through the gates of Derby County!"
When the commentator shouted like this, he was also surprised by Liverpool's performance.
This game was played at Anfield, but the opponent was Derby County, who had defeated Liverpool twice. No matter what the media said before the game, he still felt that Derby County had a good chance of winning. He didn't expect Liverpool to score first. is so fast.
Less than twenty minutes!
With a goal being scored so quickly, maybe Liverpool will score more than one goal this time around? A big win over Derby County...that would be the perfect revenge! (To be continued ~^~)
