Volume 1: Heroes Come and Go, People Pay Attention Chapter 40 Liverpool’s Classic Tactics (Second Update Guaranteed)

Regarding the remarks of the Italian media, the English media was also divided into two groups.

One group of people agreed with the Italian media and believed that Liverpool is still considered a strong team in the Champions League, but it is impossible to win the championship. There will definitely be a fierce battle against Inter Milan, but they are not optimistic that Liverpool can advance. Because compared with Inter Milan, which has a mature lineup, Liverpool seems too young and inexperienced.

There are 18 players in this Inter Milan who have won the Champions League. They have a reasonable age structure and rich experience. After being trained by Stramaccioni for several years, their technical and tactical play has become more mature.

In comparison, this current Liverpool team really has no advantage at all.

The other group of English media held opposing views. There were very few media in this group, and they were mainly pro-Liverpool media.

Naturally, they cannot say that they are not optimistic about the team they support.

Their reasons are really far-fetched... They put all their treasure on Chen Yingxiong. He believes that as long as Chen Yingxiong is in good condition, he can lead Liverpool from one victory to the next.

But this reason is a bit too absurd.

It's too idealistic.

They say that Chen Yingxiong has the ability to lead Liverpool to victory. Can Chen Yingxiong really lead Liverpool to victory?

Doesn't that mean that what they say is what they say?

This is totally unbelievable.

※※※

Amid the quarrel in the media, Chen Yingxiong and Liverpool Club did not make any sound.

It's like they can't hear it at all. But how could they not hear it? Nowadays, media consultation is so developed that there is absolutely nothing that they cannot hear except what they don’t want to hear.

So it can only be that they heard it but were unwilling to answer.

Why don't you want to answer?

Because the other party said it right, I don’t know how to answer...

Yes, yes, that must be the truth!

Everyone is guessing this.

You must know that Chen Yingxiong is a person who likes to stir up trouble. His sudden silence was strange enough.

You must have no confidence to remain silent. He was afraid that if he said something big now, he would be slapped in the face if he couldn't finish it later!

Aha, everyone knows that Chen Yingxiong likes to talk nonsense. The fact that he is silent now shows that he is finally afraid!

So the media and fans who supported Inter Milan followed the team to Liverpool in a happy mood, ready to witness a hearty victory.

※※※

Until two hours before the start of the game. Chen Yingxiong still remained silent. Although there were many reporters frantically calling his name, trying to get him to answer.

But he just turned a deaf ear and followed his teammates into the locker room with his backpack on his arm.

Chen Yingxiong is not really timid, but he feels that no matter how much he talks about such things, it is useless. It is better to prove himself with actual actions first.

After he proves it, he can deal with those grandchildren however he wants.

So now the louder and more arrogant those people scream, the more miserable they will die in the end.

Anyway, it won't be him who will be embarrassed in the end. Chen Yingxiong is very calm.

Stramaccioni was named in Liverpool's starting lineup two hours before the game, and as he expected. The list is full of Liverpool's main players, and they have put together the strongest lineup they can.

Sure enough, they are rotating for the Champions League!

Stramaccioni now has to be grateful that he was well prepared, otherwise he would now face Liverpool's strongest lineup. There will definitely be some confusion.

But now... Stramaccioni believes Liverpool have lost the opportunity. Naturally, there is no chance of winning.

He was well prepared and there was no loophole for Liverpool to take advantage of.

He firmly believes that the overall strength of his team is superior to Liverpool - why are the opinions of the Italian media recognized by the vast majority of people. It is because this is the most common view and the most deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Stramaccioni is naturally not exempt from this, he is also one of the vast majority of people.

But not long after the game started, he realized something was wrong.

Inter Milan did not show significantly higher strength than Liverpool. On the contrary, Liverpool suppressed Inter Milan.

From the beginning of the game, Liverpool launched a fierce offensive towards Inter Milan's goal.

This fierce offensive is both familiar and unfamiliar to many Liverpool fans in the stands.

Familiar because the onslaught at the beginning of the game was the hallmark of the previous Liverpool team. It’s unfamiliar because Liverpool haven’t used such tactics for a long time.

Since Martin O'Neill left Liverpool with a full warehouse of honors, Liverpool has changed its tactics. Although it adopted other tactics, Liverpool still achieved success.

But the one that impressed people the most was still Liverpool during Martin O'Neill's time.

That kind of aggressive momentum of bombarding the opponent's goal from the beginning of the game is the best image advertisement for a dynasty. When people talk about Liverpool, they always talk about Martin O'Neill's Liverpool.

Now people actually see the suffocating offense and pressure from this Liverpool team.

In fact, this is the result of the efforts of Gerrard and the coaching staff. After Chen Yingxiong said that he wanted to win the Champions League this season, they began to study how to achieve outstanding performance on both fronts.

After much research, they decided to learn from Martin O'Neill's classic tactics.

However, some adjustments have been made based on the current situation of Liverpool and Chen Yingxiong's situation.

For example, it is not as dependent on Li Chen's body as the previous tactics.

Liverpool's offense is more of an overall attack, whereas in the past Liverpool relied more on Chen Yingxiong alone. Now Chen Yingxiong's role has changed from the all-powerful frontcourt to a pure point-grabbing shooter. So he relies more on the seven pairs of midfielders and backcourts.

But this is not a problem, just adjust the tactics. Besides, Liverpool's players are not bad. Compared with Inter Milan, the only difference is their experience.

But experience is something that cannot be explained clearly. Talk about the richness of experience. The entire Inter Milan combined is not as good as Chen Yingxiong alone.

Liverpool's young players are inexperienced. It doesn't matter, Chen Yingxiong has it. He will pass on his experience to these young players without reservation.

During this period, Liverpool's tactical lessons were basically given by Chen Yingxiong, and he shared his experience with his teammates.

This way. The gap between the two teams was narrowed.

What's more, this is still at Liverpool's home court?

Why can't Liverpool suppress Inter Milan here?

In order to pass as many passes to Chen Yingxiong as possible, Chen Yingxiong's characteristics of accurate grabbing points should be used as much as possible. Liverpool's offensive routine is very simple, always passing through the midfield as quickly as possible, and then passing the football into the penalty area, allowing Chen Yingxiong to grab the ball.

Faced with this style of play that no longer entangles you in the midfield, Inter Milan seems ill-prepared.

Because Stramaccioni was referring to Liverpool's tactics in the first half of the season. At that time, Liverpool's game was still relatively complicated, how could it be as simple and clear as it is now?

In fact, Stramaccioni frowned when he saw Liverpool's tactics. He smelled something that made him very dangerous. The only thing that can comfort him now is that he predicts that Liverpool must have temporarily switched to this tactic, and it must not be proficient enough, so there will be many problems when he cooperates...

But he only watched a few minutes of the game. His brows furrowed even more tightly.

Because he did not see the lack of tacit understanding between the Liverpool players. On the contrary, he felt that this tactic was very familiar to the Liverpool players...

Has this thing really become Liverpool's DNA? Has it been integrated into their history?

He didn't know. In order to familiarize the players with this lineup as soon as possible, Gerrard's coaching staff has put in a lot of effort. Create a training plan. Working overtime to make modifications and make modifications and adjustments based on the characteristics of today's Liverpool.

This makes it easier for players to get started.

Under this impact from Liverpool, Inter Milan's defense was quickly overwhelmed.

In the 16th minute, Carlton Cole got the ball in the frontcourt and made a pass from the wing, trying to find Chen Yingxiong.

However, the ball was rescued by Inter Milan's defender.

The football that was released fell to Carlton Cole's feet again.

He made a direct pass again!

This time the football bypassed Inter Milan's defense, drew an arc in the air, and then flew towards the goal.

Chen Yingxiong in the penalty area used a very flexible and imaginative movement to get rid of the Inter Milan central defender who was guarding him. He appeared in the right place at the right time. The next step was too simple for him...

He didn't even take off, he just hit the ball towards the top while running forward!

The football was hit straight into the goal by him!

"Hero...Hero!!!"

The commentator on the scene was stunned for a moment before realizing that Chen Yingxiong had really scored the goal, rather than hitting the side netting or something.

This is Chen Yingxiong’s first goal in the Champions League this season!

"Hero! Beautiful header! His position selection is very accurate!"

"Hero is getting better and better, almost like a man! The ball itself is not good-looking, and there is nothing special about it. But Chen Yingxiong is able to turn such an ordinary opportunity into a goal..."

"Relying on Chen Yingxiong's goal, Liverpool led Inter Milan 1:0 at home! They had a good start, but Inter Milan is facing a very serious situation!"

※※※

Seeing Chen Yingxiong appear in a blank area of ​​​​Inter Milan's defense, Stramaccioni felt his heart in his throat.

This is what worries him the most.

He could only pray to God to let Chen Yingxiong push the football too far, or to be directly hugged by the Inter Milan goalkeeper.

But alas, God is a fan of Chen Yingxiong.

Nothing he hoped for happened.

The football flew directly into his team's goal.

What a terrible start for Inter Milan!
