Chapter 107 The Players Are the Key

Remember in a second【】

As of February 22, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is all over.

In the first round, the home team, except Roma and Benfica, all won the game.

Liverpool 2:0 Dortmund.

Bayern Munich 5:0 Tottenham Hotspur.

Rome 1:1 Paris Saint-Germain.

Juventus 2:1 Chelsea.

Manchester City 1:0 Shakhtar Donetsk.

Porto 0:2 Sevilla.

Barcelona 1:0 Benfica.

Real Madrid 4:1 Besiktas.

At the end of the first round, Liverpool and Real Madrid once again attracted attention.

The match between Liverpool and Dortmund began to ferment a long time ago until the end of the first round. In contrast, Liverpool's powerful defense combination once again became the focus.

With his outstanding performance, Van Dijk has become the number one central defender in the hearts of many media.

Many media are feeling that the former Red Army is coming back.

The most glorious era in the history of the Red Army is the period of the famous Shankly.

How powerful the Red Army was at that time, they won the championship as if they were picking something out of a pocket. At that time, Liverpool almost ruled the entire Europe.

Even now, go out to the streets of England and ask any old man, 'Which team do you hate the most? '.

Their answer is definitely Liverpool!

Why this deep-seated hostility?

This depends on the fact that Liverpool was too domineering at the time. As long as they participated in the game, the championship belonged to Liverpool.

This is Shankly, the father of Liverpool who shouted "Football is higher than life and death"!

After several twists and turns, the Red Army gradually declined, and they lost their former glory.

But the dominance in that blood still affects every Liverpool person.

In this regard, the Premier League media reported:

"They are recovering! That terrifying red empire is being rebuilt! In the 1980s, he was called Shankly's Red Army, and now he is called Klopp's Red Army!"

In an interview with the media, Uncle Zha said: "The establishment of a dynasty? Yes! We are recovering. Shankly is great. At that time, the Red Army will also be a great team. That is also my goal! I need to go beyond Target!"

The words are a bit crazy, but Liverpool fans love to hear them.

There is nothing more ecstatic than breaking records.

When asked who will be Liverpool's strongest enemy, Klopp gave a surprising answer.

"Paris Saint-Germain!"

Many people have thought that this Liverpool's opponent is Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and other strong teams.

Paris Saint-Germain are really strong, but they haven't reached such heights yet.

In this regard, Klopp's explanation is also very interesting.

"Whether it's Real Madrid's Galacticos or Barcelona's Fantasy Dynasty, these are things in the past, and it turns out that they are on a downward trend. They are very strong, but in terms of future competitiveness, they can't compare with Liverpool. "

"Bayern Munich is the hegemony of the Bundesliga, but I don't feel any threat from them. Don't ask me why, I don't know. This feeling is very strange."

"As for why it is Paris Saint-Germain." Klopp shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Maybe it was because Tottenham in the past two years left us too deep an impression. Villas-Boas and Yi are the goals we must overcome. .”…

"And Paris Saint-Germain have no honor, they are a completely new team, they have unlimited possibilities."

After a pause, Klopp said solemnly: "We are not afraid of any strength, but we must adopt a certain degree of vigilance against unknown things. Not to mention that it is not a weak team, is it?"

Klopp spoke highly of Paris Saint-Germain.

And at Paris Saint-Germain's training ground, in the head coach's office, Boas said proudly; "Huh! He has vision!"

Michel looked down on Boas's villainous appearance, and said: "It is not a good thing to be targeted by Liverpool. In contrast, I hope they will regard Real Madrid as their opponent!"

Hearing this, Boas smiled and said: "This is the gap between you and me! Your thinking is too conservative. Since the goal is to reach the final, why not use a vigorous way? The fans prefer me. !"

"Are you sure?" Michelle raised his eyebrows; "The outside world is very controversial about your tactical arrangements in the game. They say you should learn to be humble and defensive!"

"They know nothing!" Boas cursed angrily.

Michelle shook her head and said, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Our tactics have been thoroughly studied by them!"

Boas said indifferently; "So?"

Michelle couldn't help chuckling, and said, "Dude, I knew you were hiding something!"

Now it was Boas' turn to be confused, and he said, "I'm not hiding anything."

"Don't look at the joke." Michelle raised her eyebrows with a smile and said, "If you didn't hide anything new, would you be so calm?"

"Do I need to be nervous?" Boas wondered.

Michelle's smile gradually stiffened, and she said, "You...do you really have no new tactical arrangements?"

"No!" Boas honestly shook his head.

^0^ Remember in a second【】

"No~~Yes~~!!" The veins on Michelle's forehead popped up.

No? !

How dare you speak so boldly!

What time is it now, the tactics have been thoroughly studied, what will Paris do next?

A set of well-studied tactics? !

are you crazy!

Seeing that Michelle was on the verge of erupting at any time, Boas quickly comforted him: "Dude, calm down and listen to my explanation!"

"five minutes!"

Michelle held the corner of the table and looked at Boas viciously.

There is a posture of "If you can't explain, I will lift the table for you".

Boas felt bitter, which assistant coach dared to be so arrogant?

For the sake of Michelle's hard work (he had practiced Sanda), Boas endured it!

"The tactics have been thoroughly studied, so why don't we play? Does this mean it has no effect?"

"Tactics are dead, but players are alive. We have the most suitable system players for this lineup. Why should we abandon these and pursue that inexplicable new tactic?"

"We know this lineup better than anyone else. It has indeed been studied, but that doesn't mean it's useless!"

"As long as Yi and Neymar are still there, the dual-core system + large-scale running tactics can still provide Paris with strong offensive capabilities!"

Michelle frowned: "But..."

Boas raised his hand to interrupt, and said: "I know what you are going to say, what if other teams follow Roma and start adopting dense defense?"...

Michelle nodded dejectedly.

Boas smiled and said confidently: "Then look at their defense and what they gave up for it!"

He took out two documents from one pass, which were a comparison of various data in the first and second half of Rome.

The most shocking thing is that in the offensive map, Roma only occupied less than 10% of the share in the second half.

"This..." Michelle's eyes widened.

There was a smile on the corner of Boas' mouth and said: "They gave up all their attacks and lasted until overtime before launching a counterattack. This is not a choice that a team that wants to win will make!"

"So..." Michelle's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said in surprise: "Our tactics have not been thoroughly studied?!"

"No!" Boas shook his head and said: "It has been thoroughly studied, and they have made the most correct response, but I said that tactics are dead, and it is the players who play football. As long as these Paris players are still there , then this set of tactics will never expire, they know better than anyone else how to allocate physical energy, when to exert force, and when to stabilize the rhythm, they know it very clearly!"

"Like Barcelona in the past, tiki-taka is not working anymore? No! My point of view is that the reason why the Dream Dynasty collapsed was because of the aging of players and the loss of main players!"

"So, the tactics are secondary, the players are the key! Do you understand?"

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
