"Before this game started, we all thought that this would be a one-sided game. But now, we have to say that this is really a one-sided game. It's just that the situation of this game and
What we expected was different. In this game, it was not that Parma was beaten by Liverpool, but the opposite, that Liverpool was beaten by Parma..."
When the European Super Cup started, neither the Italian commentator nor the English commentator could have expected that the situation of the game between Parma and Liverpool was completely opposite to what they thought - this game,
Instead of being overwhelmed by Liverpool, Parma overcame them and suppressed Liverpool in the game.
During the game, the players on both sides were not unexpected. Parma chose 4312, with three midfielders in the midfield and a trio in the frontcourt to form their attack line. On the Liverpool side, it was the newly joined Reina
As goalkeeper, the back line is Riise, Carragher and Hyypia.
, Josemi, the midfielders are Zenden, Alonso, Gerrard and Finnan, and the forwards are Morientes and Luis Garcia - the main players of both sides, neither of them exceeded expectations.
——In fact, the lineups of both sides are quite average, and there is nothing to guess about this lineup.
But what exceeded expectations was the situation of the game.
"This game looks very different from what we expected. First of all, it is hard to believe that the double midfielder combination of Gerrard and Alonso, who could not be inferior to any midfielder last season,
In this game, we were so overwhelmed by Parma that we couldn't raise our heads. Secondly, it's hard to imagine that Parma's two wings could actually suppress Liverpool's wings. This is really unimaginable. Premier League football
The team played against a Serie A team, but was suppressed by Serie A on the wing..."
While Lineker was giving commentary, he shook his head repeatedly. Liverpool played too badly in this game.
Before the game started, no one in England expected such a situation. Both Juventus and Milan in Serie A were defeated, let alone Parma? Can the seventh team in Serie A be stronger than the top two in Serie A?
However, the situation of this game was really unexpected. No one expected that Parma could suppress Liverpool.
On the field, Gerrard was still running wildly, trying to stop Parma's conflicts. However, although his running was positive, he could not stop Rui's constant small cooperation in the frontcourt. Rui
Costa's physical confrontation ability is not strong. Every time he is rushed, it is difficult for him to maintain the attack. But behind him, there are Yaya Toure and Melo who are very good at physical confrontation.
Toure and Melo can both receive the ball and coordinate a little bit, which makes it impossible for Gerrard to win when facing them. And Rossi in the frontcourt can't help but drop back to respond.
, it added a lot of trouble to him. Gerrard was confident that he could see Rui Costa, but when there were a lot of contact points around Rui Costa, Gerrard couldn't stand it.
.
And Rui also played very hard in this game - he was also one of the losers in Istanbul. For others, it was a championship, but for him, it was revenge. Parma's midfield line,
Relying on the midfielder pressing forward and the forwards retreating, they formed a numerical advantage. Coupled with Rui Costa's excellent organizational ability, for a time
, even if Gerrard and Alonso are outstanding in strength, it is difficult to parry and deal with them. It is difficult for them to defeat four hands with two fists. Neither of them is good at defense. At this time, facing Parma's crazy attack, they are also
Trying hard to cover, the midfield advantage was lost early. The midfield line retreated again and again, and even retreated to the front of the back line before it could be defended.
Although this situation is a bit tragic, it is not beyond people's expectations: when a Serie A team encounters Premier League players, the center will naturally have an advantage. The wings should be the space for the Premier League team to play.
However, Liverpool also had no advantage on the two wings. Although Cenden's skills were good enough, he was not young after all. At this time, he met Zabaleta, who was young, full of physical strength and had good impact.
The advantage is not big. On the other wing, Balzare
Ti was not afraid when facing Finnan, who was even weaker. Whether Finnan was a full-back or a full-back, mediocrity was synonymous with his love. Balzaretti was naturally able to cope with him. It should have been the Premier League.
The team's advantage on the wing, at this moment, actually had no advantage at all.
In fact, in view of this weakness, if there are good enough wingers, Li Bin dares to play on the wing to suppress them. However, Li Bin does not have wing players. But since he knows that the opponent's wingers are not strong,
, Therefore, Li Bin decided to let the players play more in the middle to suppress the opponent.
This also makes the overall situation at a disadvantage once Liverpool comes up.
"I can't imagine that Liverpool, as a Premier League giant, was suppressed by Italy's underdog Parma. Such a game is really ugly. I really don't know what Benitez was thinking to let Liverpool play like this.
Like this?"
Liverpool fans were booing constantly on the sidelines at this time, but Benitez was standing on the sidelines, his expression still unchanged - this made Li Bin really unable to tell what he was thinking, but deep down in his heart,
He knew Liverpool would definitely have a way to deal with it.
Li Bin knows that Benitez is a person who has become accustomed to being expressionless. He can remain calm even when he is three goals behind in the Champions League final. I really don’t know whether it is because of his general’s demeanor or his natural slowness. Therefore, Li Bin originally also
There is no idea of making judgments based on the opponent's reaction. For Li Bin, it is better to target tactics than people. And with the current delegation being suppressed like this, Benitez will definitely make adjustments.
The reason why he wasn't in a hurry was probably because things weren't too unexpected.
Last season, it can be said that Parma and Liverpool both won the championship as dark horses. It was not easy to get here. After all, Parma is a small team, and there was a series of signings and transactions in the summer. Liverpool vs. Parma
There is a lack of understanding, and Liverpool has been analyzed by the whole of Europe for a long time. It is not surprising that Parma can seize Liverpool's weaknesses.
A big team has a strength advantage when playing against a small team, but a small team has an information advantage when playing against a big team. Therefore, Benitez should have expected to gain an advantage through tactical arrangements.
.
The Liverpool team really suppressed the two giants in Serie A last season, but Li Bin also saw their problems very clearly. First, they had almost no wings.
Any ability, and the second is their midfielder, there is a big problem with their defensive ability.
Their wings are really bad, and they know this, but they can't solve this problem - because they don't have money.
Good wing attackers require strong ball skills, so they are relatively expensive. Among the wealthy clubs, Liverpool is a real pauper. Their best player on the wing is Ceden, and on the right wing
, and only by moving Finnan forward can we have a little bit of offensive ability. Such a wing has no advantage at all in front of Parma.
This second point is actually very embarrassing to say. Gerrard and Alonso are indeed two outstanding players, but the effect of the two of them paired with double midfielders is really not good. Part 1
Along their journey this season, the two of them took turns getting injured, making it difficult to play together.
This problem was covered up, and in the Champions League final, people saw it clearly. When Gerrard and Alonso played together, the midfield was almost a vacuum defense. They were beaten three times in the half, and in the second half
, replaced Hamann and pushed Gerrard forward, which changed the final.
Benitez is not unaware of this problem. Otherwise, he would not have introduced Sissoko during the transfer period. However, the problem is that although Sissoko was bought, Benitez
Tes wanted to play it safe and did not dare to let Sissoko, who was technically rough and not adapted to the Premier League, still choose to partner Gerrard and Alonso. This also made their midfield completely overturned by Parma.
.
As the champions of the Champions League, Liverpool are not aware of Liverpool's various problems. However, Li Bin knows very well that in the next few years, they will be suffocated to death by the middle and lower-tier teams in the Premier League due to their weak wings and ineffective attack.
Times. If you have this kind of experience, why not use it?
Li Bin made arrangements based on these two points, and they also achieved results. However, he estimated that Benitez would also change his formation in response to this. Top coaches are not so easy to deal with. The reason why he has been so hesitant
Maybe he still wants to find out the details of Parma before taking action - anyway, he has confidence in Liverpool's defense.
This also gave Li Bin a headache - this bone was too hard to chew.
Liverpool under Benitez got a sufficiently good defense line left by Houllier, and he supplemented the midfield by himself. Coupled with his high defensive tactics, Liverpool became an extremely fierce team.
Defensive teams. Chelsea and Liverpool played against each other last season, but at least they were able to survive.
The current situation is like this. Parma wants to rely on midfield control to beat Liverpool. However, the current situation is that the midfielder can control it, but cannot pass the ball. A Gerrard clashes back and forth in the midfield, and a Hyypia is like
The Dinghai Shenzhen made Parma's offensive much weaker.
The strength of these two teams can be said to be evenly matched - both are stronger in the middle, but neither can penetrate the opponent's defense. Although Parma has some advantages on the scene, the real score has been slow to come.
No change.
But fortunately, he had a backup plan. Li Bin also knew that it would be very difficult to break through the Champions League champion's defense in the middle by relying on his sudden strength in the middle, especially since his opponent was also known for his defense in the middle. Therefore,
In his plan, suppressing the opponent is the first step. The next step is how to bleed.
I just don’t know if the fat Spanish guy next to me will be fooled.
"Put it in! Plug it in!" As time passed, Benitez finally made his own change. He shouted to the two full-backs and kept gesturing at the same time. His
This action also made Li Bin breathe a sigh of relief - it seemed that Liverpool still took the bait.
Parma's lineup is very good, but the lack of wingers is a big problem. Although Zabaleta is good, one Zenden is not enough to open up his defense, but the ability of the Premier League full-backs to support them is
It cannot be ignored. If they are suppressed for a long time and do not have to worry about Parma's wing attack, they will naturally consider joining the wing.
This is the situation Li Bin set up, attacking from the side, who said I don't have it?
Li Bin also walked to the sidelines, shouted loudly, and called Rossi to the sidelines, "Giuseppe, you win this game for me! Listen, hit their side, Duoduo pulls the side, and face them
Fight hard on their right side until you cripple them, keep doing it, just do what I told you before the game, you can do it, and let them know how they lost!"
