Super Coach

It can be said that Yang Cheng is the head coach who knows the UEFA mind best in football today, and maybe even one of them can be crossed out.

All the old players who have been watching the ball for many years know that the reason why the European games attract attention is largely due to the confrontation between the giants. Therefore, UEFA is happy to create a series of so-called grudges such as Yang Chenghe UEFA is not the initiator of the grievances between Barcelona, ​​but it is definitely the behind-the-scenes push of bōzhulan.

Why do you say that?

In order to maximize profits, for gimmicks, in order to allow more people to invest in this event.

In 2013, three Serie A teams monopolized the UEFA Champions League semifinals, and the final was turned into a Milan derby. This obviously does not meet the definition of UEFA and the needs of marketing. After all, it becomes an Italian civil war and will lose some. Ball mí.

Last year, the final became the protagonist of second-class teams such as Monaco and bō Ertu. This caused the UEFA Champions League to experience unprecedented cynicism and even suspicion that it is UEFA that are interested in targeting the G4. UEFA themselves are very depressed, because they do not know how much money they lost.

This season, from the UEFA Champions League group draw to today's knockout draw, UEFA is really working hard. Every team is analyzed by them, and each group must be carefully considered.

First, in order to ensure the ratings and eyeball needs, each round must stage a highlight, preferably a showdown between the top giants; second, to avoid dark horses like last season, you must avoid strong teams Early fights; third, in order to avoid a country's team monopolizing most places, it must be artificially difficult.

Of course, the third point is definitely to stay at the end, such as drawing the same national team together, but this will not wait until the 88 elimination rounds.

Therefore, when you take these elements into consideration, and the opponents in the top 16 elimination rounds will not come from the same country in the same country, and it must be the first in the group and the second in the group, you will find that there are actually so few opponents Teams.

Before the whole lottery ceremony begins, who will meet who is the obvious thing.

"It seems that this year's Champions League round of 16 will be a big matchup!" Beckenbauer shook his head and smiled.

"Isn't it normal?" Yang Cheng just sat beside him and asked back.

Beckenbauer nodded. This season's group stage, the giants' team has recovered, which makes UEFA work hard in the knockout. From the first round of knockouts, it has created some giants feasts. **, attracted the ball.

"I have a hunch that we will draw Arsenal!" Beckenbauer smiled bitterly.

Although Arsenal have been untitled for many years in a row, but the strength of this team should not be underestimated. Of course, Bayern is also a coquettish role. Who wins or loses is not necessarily, but between such top teams The showdown is always terrifying.

Playing one more round and one less round is not only a nominal loss, but also a huge loss in money.

On the contrary, the weaker teams will be arranged by UEFA to prevent them from encountering premature teams prematurely. Once they are afraid of unpopularity, they are worried that they will once again be as unpopular as last season, causing the finals to become Second-rate matchups; secondly, strong and weak matchups are not strong enough.

The final draw seemed to be developing in the direction everyone guessed. Liverpool once again "coincidentally" won Barcelona. God knows how this group of guys are so coincident, every time.

"I'm a little bit tired of aesthetics!" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.

"Who made you so popular this season?" Beckenbauer scolded.

Barcelona are in La Liga and Liverpool in the Premier League. These two teams can be said to be the four most popular teams this season. The other two are Chelsea in the Premier League and Inter Milan in Serie A.

No matter from which point of view, Liverpool touch Barcelona, ​​it is far more gimmick than any matchup, and this game will certainly become UEFA's most concerned game.

From the standpoint of an event organizer, they do n’t have to pay attention to who wins or loses, as long as they are responsible for drawing the two teams together, which is attractive enough in itself.

It's just that it's uncomfortable that every time UEFA has to advertise how it is fair and fair, it is clear that there is no silver three hundred and two in this place. Also to install?

Yang Cheng didn't believe it, killing Barcelona every time.

Ferguson also guessed right. Manchester United met AC Milan, just as the old man said, he has never encountered AC Milan, and he is very excited and excited about it.

Inter Milan touched bō Ertu, a duel between old and new kings; Bayern Munich also met Arsenal as Beckenbauer said; Real Madrid touched Juventus; Chelsea touched Leverkusen; Monaco touched Ain Huo Wen; Werder Bremen touched Lyon, almost no surprise draw.

"I have a hunch!" Yang Cheng said with a smile after the draw.

"Huh?" Beckenbauer wondered.

"We and Barcelona, ​​no matter which team will qualify, the quarterfinals will encounter Chelsea!"

Beckenbauer was stunned, but the old fritters suddenly wanted to understand.

Mourinho and Barcelona are also a gimmick. If Liverpool qualify, then they can lose one Premier League team to the semi-finals in the duel, which is also in the interests of UEFA.

If Inter Milan and Chelsea both won the first place in the group, maybe the two teams in the round of 16 knockouts will encounter early, which is why so many strong teams are desperate to fight for the first place in the group stage. the reason.

"In this way, we are very likely to encounter the winner between Real Madrid and Juventus!" Bayer · also analyzed, familiar with the UEFA operation mode, the so-called ● lottery, are able to Guess it's not far off.

"Cross Arsenal first and talk again!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

But on the plane back to Liverpool, he used his laptop to watch the schedule of the Premier League this season. He suddenly discovered that if Liverpool really crossed Barcelona and really touched Chelsea, then they will continue to play with Chelsea in April. Play three games.

Two Champions League knockout games, one Premier League, this is terrible!

But Yang Cheng did not know that it was more than that.

On the 26th, the league played | On the 27th, went to Nyon to participate in the draw. On the 28th, the team won the Saints Southampton at home. Liverpool played two consecutive games in three days. Although Yang Cheng ’s rotation He used a goal to help Liverpool cross Southampton but the team's condition is still a bit worrying.

｜ Month ｜ Sunday, New Year ’s Day, Liverpool; o Portsmouth tied the game, Yang Cheng ’s team ’s overall condition is obviously still affected by the busy schedule, and the performance is very weak, although it controls the initiative of the game, but Kangfa scored a goal.

｜ On March 3, Liverpool once again challenged Norwich.

In the 88th minute of the first half, the home team took advantage of Vidic's mistakes to make the next trip, and then started a conservative counter-attack tactics, even deadlock.

Liverpool's tenacious organization started a bōbō attack, but was unable to break Norwich's goal.

"It seems that Liverpool are in trouble." Andy = Gray is somewhat worried for Liverpool.

In such a dense schedule, any team will encounter all kinds of problems. After all, not every team can have a strong lineup enough to equip two or three Premier League teams like Chelsea.

"All Premier League coaches know that the schedule around Christmas is very dense, and it has a great impact on the second half of the league. Avoiding it is a threshold, and it will be over to be eligible to challenge the league champion."

"Last season Liverpool performed well during this period, but the winter break last season was not as dense as this season, after all, from February 26 of 4 years to 5 years | on March 3, just 99 In days, the Premier League played a total of league games, such an intensive schedule, even the Iron Man can't hold it. "

"The strongest momentum is still at Chelsea. The Blues continue to lead the league standings with a strong record in the Christmas schedule with a strong bench thickness. Liverpool are currently 22 wins | draw, but it is likely to be Norwich is upset. If Yang Cheng can't find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, maybe Liverpool will suffer a second defeat this season. "

Andy = Gray's view also represents the idea of ​​many people, because Liverpool played very low throughout the game.

Played in 99 days, every game is a tough English Premier League event, even if Liverpool made a rotation, but still can not bear such a schedule, and the rotation must bear certain risks, such as Vidic ’s mistakes, if you change As Hypia, this mistake will not occur.

When the game jumped into 60 minutes, when everyone felt that Liverpool should make adjustments, Yang Cheng did make adjustments. He replaced the average Drogba and inserted Ronaldinho. On the left side of the team, Ribery was replaced by him to the right and Ashavin hit the middle.

"With Drogba, is Liverpool about to give up the offense?"

Everyone feels that this substitution is very inexplicable. Drogba's status is indeed very general, but he can't ignore his contribution to the team. You know, he has always been a very important frontcourt fulcrum.

But did Yang Cheng really give up?

"Look for the opponent's defense and midfield gaps! Be calm and patient!"

This is when Xiao Luo came on stage, Yang Cheng gave him the task, but he couldn't tell him what to do.

The Portuguese has had a few chances as soon as he plays. He can get a pass on the left and he will attack the opponent ’s defense, but it is clear that the effect of this is not good, because the opponent ’s defense is deep and there is no Leaving too much space left him to use his speed and technical advantages.

In a short period of time | 0 minutes, he had three attempts to break the ball to no avail, Liverpool's offense still appeared chaotic.

"It seems that after Cristiano = Ronaldo has played, he hasn't brought much change to the game." Andy = Gray is a little puzzled. Why would Yang Cheng choose to replace Drogba with Ronaldinho?

"Will it be too risky?" Benitez doesn't like to take risks. He likes to count everything.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Of course, but I can't help it, do I?"

Playing games within 99 days, Robben, Gerrard, Davis, and Hypea were all injured. Today's Liverpool can give Yang Cheng few changes.

"He is a wise man, he will understand!" Speaking of which, Yang Cheng went to the side of the court again and waved towards Xiao Luo to signal that he wanted to calm down and observe with more eyes, don't worry.

The biggest problem with this kid is that he is anxious and easily becomes anxious, making him unable to see something clearly.

Ronaldinho saw Yang Cheng's gestures, and after a round of a season and a half of getting along with the progress he could feel, he made him convinced of Yang Cheng, and he respected this one. Supervise his head coach.

Taking a deep breath, he stood on the left and looked to the right. The opponents on the court clearly appeared in his eyes, from the opponent's back line at the front of the penalty area, to the oppression Liverpool's midfielder.

Back in the middle of Ashavin ■ Liverpool's midfielder started to get the ball. Murphy, Essien and A-Yala were more behind Ashavin, and the opponent's midfielder defended Ashavin and defended the midfield. The thread is pressed a little higher.

Ronaldinho saw this scene, could not help but a vague outline emerged in his mind.

Is this the gap mentioned by the boss?

At this time, he saw that Ashavin was disturbed after taking the ball and had to knock the ball back, but the opponent's defensive midfield did not fall, so he simply ran directly from the left to the center and was active. The area just happens to be between the opponent's midfield and the defense.

Risse-Ronece on the left ran immediately to the front, attracting the attention of the opposing defensive player.

The ball returned to Ashavin ’s feet again, and the opponent immediately had a defensive player press up. However, Ashavin directly passed the ball. He came directly to Ronaldinho ’s feet. The Portuguese were undefended. He calmly turned around. There was confusion in the opponent's defense.

The opposing centre-back was aware of the threat of Ronaldinho taking the ball in this area and immediately grabbed, but Ribery also chose to move closer to the middle at this time.

Before the Portuguese defender approached, the Portuguese knocked the ball horizontally to Ribery who cut in from the right. The Frenchman immediately knocked back and passed the opponent's central defender diagonally. The two immediately formed a two-on-one and hit the wall. Style fit.

"Norwich is dangerous!" Andy = Gray exclaimed.

"Liverpool have a beautiful two-on-one match, Ronaldinho takes the ball, GOAbd Du Ding Ed11 !!!!!!"

"The goal is scored!" Andy = Gray can't help shouting, "Cristiano = Ronaldo made a beautiful low shot in the penalty area, broke Norwich's goal and equalized for Liverpool!"

"It's so beautiful! The opponent's central defender realized the danger, but the Portuguese's short sprint was too fast, and they blamed them for taking the risk of leaving their area, leaving a large gap behind them."

"But there is no way, not to grab, such a close distance. Once sprinted by Ronaldinho, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be directly penetrated, and his long shot is also very threatening. Diluted some defensive pressure for him! "

"This is an intermittent pulling and running in a narrow range. Norwich's strong back line collapsed with the cooperation of three Liverpool players!"

Liverpool ball mí who followed the team to the road after the team scored, Qiqi left his seat and burst into the stands with a thunderous cheer, excitedly shouting the goalkeeper Christian Nuo = Ronaldo's name.

Ronaldinho reacted first after breaking Norwich's goal, excitedly rushed to the side of the court and made a celebration gesture of kneeling and arms roaring, while the players behind him, such as Ribery and Ashavin They rushed over one after another.

Yang Cheng pulled all these players over for the first time, "Continue to play like this, remember, pull more, run more gaps, pass more, cooperate more, be patient, understand?"

The players nodded together, "Understood!"

"Go, get rid of them!" Yang Cheng patted their shoulders vigorously and sent them to the court.

It is naturally impossible for the live TV footage to miss this scene, and everyone also saw Yang Cheng's on-the-spot command from this attack.

Yes, maybe Norwich's defense is a piece of iron bucket, but even if you are reinforced concrete, I will cut you into a hole!

The game restarted, Liverpool was still actively looking for opportunities to attack, especially Ronaldinho, after tasting the sweetness, they also began to observe the game around the four more actively , He began to consciously move against the loophole of the opponent's defense, which made his every movement become more targeted.

He and Ribery are active between each other's defense and midfield. Norwich can stop them and stand in their place, but they can choose long shots, they can choose to break the ball, they can choose to cooperate, Norwich Will become very passive.

But once they grab, they will actively play the gaps left after the grab, especially Ronaldinho and Ribery. Both players have very fast sprints in short distances. They were still under your eyes just now. But in the blink of an eye, they slipped away, unable to catch up, and didn't even give a foul chance.

In this case (the latest chapter of the Martial Universe www.81zw.com), Liverpool seem to have no forwards, but in fact the two wingers have gained more space to intersect running and pulling. The line of defense had to follow them, and there was no way to prevent it.

In the 86th minute, Ronaldinho took the ball and attracted two defensive players, and then passed the ball to Ashavin. The Russian made a direct pass with a penetrating power and brought the ball into the penalty area. A kick shot broke Norwich's goal again and reversed the score for Liverpool!

｜;

This score was finally held to the end, Liverpool once again achieved 31 points.

"Liverpool's state of play in this game is indeed very general, and it can even be said to be bad, but they still won, and they won in Yang Cheng's excellent on-the-spot command. He replaced Drogba with Ronaldinho. A wonderful move completely revitalized Liverpool's offensive attack. "

At the end of the game, Andy = Gray couldn't help but admire Yang Cheng this time.

His on-the-spot command allows Liverpool to continue to maintain the pressure on Chelsea. Although this team has been behind Chelsea by 53 points, but the league has just passed half, who said Liverpool must have no chance?

But what is certain is that Liverpool's schedule is more difficult than Chelsea! ! .
