The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Saturday, a little bit late, I hope readers don't pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Following the short and long whistles of the referee announcing the end of the first half, the players from both sides who hadn't been able to tell the difference in the first 45 minutes had to walk off the field and wait until the second half started. It's decided.

Of course, although the score on the field is still zero to zero, the mood of Liverpool and Fiorentina players can be said to be completely different at this time.The former, who was repeatedly blocked on the offensive end and was always unable to open the situation, let out a sigh of relief in his heart.After all, in the first half of the game, Fiorentina put enormous pressure on them both offensively and defensively. As long as they are not careful, they may end up defeating Frankie and then being eliminated from the Champions League .

The Fiorentina players showed more of an unwillingness, because throughout the first half of the game, they firmly grasped the initiative on the field, if it weren't for Vieri and Di Natale. After wearing shooting boots several times but failing to seize the opportunity, Florence may have already secured the victory by now.

Mourinho can naturally see that the players are dissatisfied with the score on the field, so after returning to the locker room, he strongly praised the performance of the players in the first half of the game, and appeased the players who were unable to break the deadlock. Some restless mood.After that, Mourinho put forward several requirements to the players, such as the midfielders should increase the frequency of crossing and running without the ball, create more opportunities for easy shots and so on.

"All in all, the initiative to advance is now in our hands. There is no need for us to be too anxious about scoring goals." Mourinho said with a smile, and the confidence on his face made the players appreciate his words. A lot of confidence has been generated, "So, the first thing we have to do is to do a good job in defense. As long as Liverpool can't score a goal in this game, then the final semi-finals must be our Fiorentina!"

Mourinho's words made all the Fiorentina players present suddenly enlightened, and the brains that had entered a dead end finally figured out the joints at this time.Vieri, Di Natale and others finally realized that in the case of a one-to-one match with their opponents in the first round, they don't need to be obsessed with scoring goals in this game, as long as they make it impossible for their opponents to score goals , then Florence will be the final winner!

Thinking about it this way, the originally somewhat unstable atmosphere in the locker room suddenly disappeared. The players listened to Mourinho's arrangements for the second half of the game, while chatting and laughing in low voices, the impatience between their brows was completely gone.

On the other side, there was a gloomy scene in the visiting team's dressing room where the Liverpool players were.After being pressured by Fiorentina for a full 45 minutes, they had little confidence before the game, and they were even more pessimistic about the possibility of the team advancing to the semi-finals.

After entering the locker room of the visiting team, the first words Benitez said made the Liverpool players present even more depressed: "Guys, I am very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half."

Especially Baros, who is the team's single arrow, the Czech striker couldn't help but feel feverish when he heard what Benitez said.After all, his performance in the first half of the game was really horrible. Let alone not scoring a goal, he almost became an invisible man on the court under the defense of Nesta and Lucio, making almost no contribution. .

To be honest, the reason why Baros's performance in Liverpool is very different from his performance in the Czech national team is mainly due to the different positioning of the team.In the national team, Baros is the sharp knife hidden behind Jan Kohler. He only needs to use the cover of his teammates to find the weak point in the opponent's defense, and then send a fatal blow.In Liverpool, Baros did not receive such treatment at all, and was often used as a single arrow by the head coach.Such an arrangement not only failed to give full play to Barosz's advantages, but also exposed the Czech's general weaknesses in dealing with pitfalls and grasping opportunities.

Not only does he need to head-to-head with the defenders to score goals, but also uses his personal ability to cover other teammates behind him to create scoring opportunities. Baros, who is not this material, wants to have the same performance in Liverpool as he did in the national team. It's really an unrealistic thing.

Therefore, Barosch's mediocre performance during his time at Liverpool was not just because of his lack of ability. The previous Red Army coaches did not formulate tactics based on his characteristics, and only used him as a substitute for Irving. This is also a very important reason. .

While Mourinho and Benitez were in the dressing room instilling in the players the strategy for the second half of the game, and the deficiencies that needed to be corrected, the 15-minute half-time break had passed unconsciously , the second half of the game is about to begin!

After the start of the second half, the Fiorentina players who got the right to kick-off did not rush to attack Liverpool's goal, but rather cautiously turned their feet in the midfield, luring the opponent to take the initiative to press the formation, thus giving the striker On Vieri they create more room for movement.After all, Benitez's tactical attainments are quite good, even Mourinho, who has always looked down on the opponent, has to admit this.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side, Mourinho specifically put forward the requirement of adopting a steady counterattack tactics after the opening, instead of allowing the players to continue the style of play in the first half of the game. Putting too much energy into the offense.In this way, Mourinho can minimize the chance of his team being caught off guard by the Liverpool people with a sneak attack or two in the early part of the second half.

Seeing that the Fiorentina players were so vigilant, the Liverpool players who planned to take the opportunity to counterattack Viola quickly couldn't help but cursed secretly, and then regrettably gave up this plan.After all, it is difficult for Liverpool players to grab the ball in Fiorentina's half when the opponent has long been prepared and has an advantage in technical ability.If you accidentally press too much, you may even be attacked by Florence.

In this way, the Liverpool players whose scheme was seen through had no choice but to play a head-to-head confrontation with Fiorentina on the court.The disparity in hard power between the two sides makes the balance of victory constantly tilt towards Florence!
