Benitez's thoughts are still understandable. The previous games have proved that it is unwise for Liverpool to play against Derby County, because they don't have much advantage in fighting. Even if they have Gerald in the midfield, there is only Gerald. In other positions, Derby County is not much worse than Liverpool. In addition, due to physical fitness and tactics, it is not weaker than Liverpool in the opposing attack.

Perhaps there is another more important point that Liverpool's forward line is weak. After Cice was injured, it is difficult for Liverpool to produce a threatening attacking combination of forward line. Pangler, Barroche and others are a little famous, but they perform very average in the Premier League. They are simply unable to compare with Derby County headed by Cruivit and supported by Van der Fate and Morris.

So after seeing Liverpool tie the score, Benitez decisively let the team retreat, began to stabilize the defense and launch a defensive counterattack.

Defensive counterattack is Benitez's signature.

In fact, like Mourinho, he is a coach who pays great attention to defense. Indeed, football defense can win better now, and Wan Sheng understands this truth, but this is Anfield Stadium, the territory of Liverpool people. Wan Sheng admires Benitez, which is... At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool retreats to defend against Derby County. Is this kind of playing really good?

Isn't this Espanyol afraid of Liverpool fans being dissatisfied?

Or he thinks that victory is the most important. As long as he wins, any dissatisfaction will disappear. It makes sense to think this way, but the Spaniard thought that Derby County would give him a chance?

Too naive!

If you play like this at home, I'm still afraid of it!

Derby County is not afraid of not being able to win the ball. You know, my team ranks third in the league and is now challenging Liverpool away. It is not necessary to pursue victory at all. The draw is completely acceptable.

so......

Shortly after Benitez adjusted his tactics, Wan Sheng also walked to the sidelines and made a move to shrink his arms against the players. The meaning of this move was obvious to the team to shrink the formation and start to play defensive counterattacks. The players on the field understood the meaning, and then Derby County quickly contracted the formation, which was much faster than Liverpool's adjustment of tactics.

So the next game became boring.

Liverpool has no intention of pushing the attack at all. There are not many players coming up every time the attack is coming, and the same is true for Derby County. There are not many players pushing the attack on the front. Most of them watch in the backcourt, so the football will fall back and forth in the midfield. The players are fighting very well, but football does not pose any threat to the goals of both teams.

The game became very boring.

"We were expecting a wonderful match, but before the first half was over, the scene made people feel drowsy..."

"Liverpool did not show their dominance at Anfield, and Derby County, who was visiting, did not play their beautiful offensive football. It seems that the coaches of both teams are very serious about the game. They are more of letting the team defend."

The game commentator said this.

He was too lazy to explain who the football was at his feet, because it was completely meaningless. The football was always near the midfield and could not hit the penalty area of ​​the two teams. The competition between the two sides in the midfield was very fierce, but in this case, it seemed that it didn't matter which team the football was at his feet, because there would not be more players to press on to participate in the offense. Football would not pose a threat to the goal of the two teams. At most, it would be a long-range shot without threats.

In such a scene, the first half ended soon.

Benitez was still a little surprised by this situation. He didn't know much about Wan Sheng, he only knew that the head coach from China was very young and had a good team performance. More importantly, he could also make Derby County play wonderful offensive football. In summary, this is a very capable young man.

But young people should be arrogant!

Even if you challenge Liverpool away, Liverpool's performance is not as good as Derby County. He took the initiative to let the team shrink its defense line just to play defensive counterattacks. Isn't Derby County good at attacking? Then leave you space to attack, and then we play defensive counterattacks steadily. This is also the most beneficial way for Liverpool. Benitez always believes that defense is more important than offense, not to mention that Liverpool's strength is still stronger than Derby County.

But what he didn't expect was that Derby County quickly shrank its defense line.

The result is that the situation is that both sides are fighting hard, but the pressure is on Liverpool just because it is Anfield Stadium!

With the attention of tens of thousands of Liverpool fans, such a "unactive" game will definitely make the fans dissatisfied. Benitez did not expect that in his home game, he would drag the team down. If the game continues like this, he would be 80% sure that the team can get at least a draw. Facing the third in the league, Derby County in a very good state, 1 point is actually OK. If Derby County wants to win and attack, then three-pointers are also very likely.

But it will definitely not work if you keep doing this. If you get a point passively, Liverpool will face much more pressure than Derby County in terms of fans and media.

So during the halftime break, Benitez was a little hesitant, and finally he sighed and decided to strengthen the offense, but the defense was still the most important, so this method of strengthening needs to be considered, so he chose to substitute.

He lets Louis Garcia play.

Although Catalan Luis Garcia was born in the Barcelona youth team, the one who really made him famous in the football circle was the Tenarife team in the Serie A. Under the leadership of Benitez in the 2000-01 season, Turnerife successfully entered the Class A. Luis Garcia played 40 games, scored 16 goals and handed over the first report card of his career.

Benitez then accepted the invitation from the Valencia Club, and Luis Garcia returned to Barcelona after two seasons between Valladolid and Atletico Madrid.

Rijcard's transformation was not successful. He never found any feeling on the right. He only scored 4 goals in a season. At this time, Benitez, who took over Liverpool, sent a call. Luis Garcia came to England with a net worth of 9 million euros.

In the first few rounds of the league, Luis Garcia did not find any feeling. He did not have a stable position in the main position, but his skills are still worthy of recognition. Whether it is speed, dribbling or passing, Garcia is very outstanding, especially in dribbling, Garcia is even more outstanding. Although more people think that it is a "bloody trick" because Garcia often loses the ball when showing his footwork in the game, but at this moment, when the two teams are in a stalemate, Garcia is more suitable for appearance because they are not afraid of Garcia losing the ball. If Garcia can perform several excellent times, it may also help Liverpool score goals.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool made a substitution adjustment, and Luis Garcia made a debut.

When Garcia appeared, many Liverpool fans applauded. Although Garcia didn't even have a stable main position in Liverpool, his superb footwork still won the hearts of many fans.

"Liverpool has replaced Louis Garcia!" Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said, "It is obvious that Liverpool is going to strengthen the offensive. Garcia is a player who focuses on offense. We can look forward to Liverpool's performance on the left!"

Wan Sheng saw Luis Garcia's appearance, but he didn't think that Benitez would give up and turn to attack in large numbers. That would be very unfavorable to Liverpool. If Liverpool, who is the weaker side, attacks and Derby County, goes to defend, Liverpool's chance of winning is too small. He believes that Benitez can see this, so the Spaniard is almost a gambling adjustment. No one can tell whether it is specific or not, but Liverpool's defense-oriented tactics remain unchanged.

Soon there was something going on in Derby County, and Wansheng replaced Cruivet with Burton Rett.

A striker. Swap a forward. Many people don’t understand Wan Sheng’s thoughts. George Woodgate said in surprise, “What is this substitution for? Cruivet doesn’t look like he’s injured. His performance ahead is pretty good…”

The camera lens pointed at Cruivet, and the Dutch walked off the court steadily and gave Botton Reit a hug. That would be absolutely very healthy, but what's the point of such adjustment?

Soon I didn't worry about this substitution.

After the start of the second half, Liverpool increased its offense, especially the left side where Luis Garcia was located, and it played very flexible. The two midfielders Steven Gerard and Xavi Alonso had the ball and would pass it to the left side. With the support of their teammates, Luis Garcia seemed to have become the core of the entire Liverpool. He led the whole team to launch a fierce attack on the left side. After dribbling the ball to the bottom line, frequent crosses also tried to create a threat, but it was not until this time that Liverpool players realized the difficulty of Derby County's defense.

In the first half, they focused on defense and it was difficult to understand this, but when they strengthened their offense, they found that Derby County's defense could definitely be described as "stable". Garcia was often cut off by himself, and it was difficult for him to pass the ball to the middle to the feet of his teammates. In terms of Derby County's backcourt defense, it seemed that there were people at every position, and it was very difficult to find a gap.

However, overall, Liverpool still suppresses Derby County. After all, Derby County has not increased its offense, and Liverpool's strength is slightly better than Derby County. This place is Anfield Stadium, in short, Liverpool has the advantage in the field.

But the two teams are still in a stalemate and neither side has found a chance.

In the 70th minute of the game, Derby County made another substitution. This time, Peter Kennedy replaced Rafael Van der Fate.

This substitution adjustment made many people even more unable to understand.

Van der Fate was replaced? Did Derby County completely give up the attack?

Benitez didn't understand either. In his opinion, Van der Fate's performance was quite good. With Van der Fate present, Derby County's attack threat would definitely be much greater. Now that the opponent replaced Van der Fate, is this a tactical substitution, or is it just a reason why Van der Fate was not physically strong?

Benitez doesn't understand.

However, Van der Fate's outcome made Liverpool players feel good. They were worried about the team's defense before. Van der Fate is the most threatening player to the defense. Even no one, it is difficult for other Derby County players to get a chance. The opponent's stupid big man, high center Botton Reit, has done nothing since his appearance, so they will not worry about the opponent's attack.

So Liverpool naturally strengthened some offensives.

The situation on the court has become that Liverpool completely suppressed Derby County. This kind of suppression is very obvious. In terms of data, Liverpool attacks twice, Derby County can only attack once. Liverpool poses two threats to Derby County, and Derby County can only have one threat at most. This comparison of data is reflected in the game, which is like Liverpool has been bombing Derby County goal.

This situation has made Liverpool fans very excited.

The previous game really made them sleepy. Although they still trusted their trust in coach Benitez, facing a newly promoted team in their own stadium, they still felt a little dissatisfied. Some fans even booed to express their dissatisfaction. Now Liverpool has control over the situation and football is at the feet of Liverpool for most of the time, so Liverpool fans are happy. They are excited to look at the sky and cheer the team excitedly.

The reporters in the media table were also very happy.

There are only a very small number of journalists who purely support Derby County here, most of who support Liverpool and neutral journalists. The former hopes that Liverpool can have an advantage, while a large part of the latter also supports Liverpool. More importantly, they also hope that the game will be more exciting. Now Liverpool has a huge advantage and is constantly besieging Derby County goals. This situation is really good.

Benitez is also very satisfied with the current situation. Although this does not guarantee that Liverpool can win, the team has at least regained its face and suppressed Derby County in the situation. In this way, even the media can't say anything after the game. Although the result of a single point is not very satisfied, it is not too bad.

Wansheng stood on the sidelines.

The camera pointed to it and saw Wansheng's face solemn, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Seeing Wansheng's smile, many people didn't understand it. But in fact, Wansheng was looking forward to the adjustments he made to make it effective - as long as he had the chance.

Will Wansheng make useless adjustments?

Of course not!

He hopes that Liverpool can attack and attack again, preferably with the whole line. Derby County's counterattack is very sharp. He replaced Bolton Reit for this purpose. Reit scored a few goals in the previous game, but his performance was not very outstanding. But don't forget what Rhet's advantage lies. Perhaps his skills are not outstanding, or perhaps he is not doing better than his teammates in passing cooperation, but Reit has a very outstanding feature, that is, his speed is fast enough!

Bolton-Rett is the main position with speed.

After two years of training, coupled with Rate's potential in speed, his speed evaluation value has reached as many as '95' points. This attribute evaluation is definitely the highest in the team. In addition, some skill bonuses from the football training master system, Rate's speed can explode on the field can reach about '99' points. If you fight back, you have an additional 5% speed bonus of 'fast breakthrough'. When you really run, you can explode with the ability of '105'.

This data is absolutely terrifying.

Even if Wan Sheng cannot determine how fast the '105' attribute evaluation speed exploded, he is sure that this speed can definitely be compared with those world sprinters. Even Rhet's dribbling speed can definitely exceed 95 points, which is much faster than ordinary players running without the ball.

And now, all Bolton Letter lacks is an opportunity... If the game continues like this, the opportunity may not be far away. (To be continued, please search Piaotianyi, the novel is better, updated and faster!
