Chapter 709 We Have No Choice!
"Ju Ande is going to give it a go!"
In the head coach's office at Liverpool's Melwood training base, Yesterdam smiled and said such a sentence to the head coach and other members of the coaching staff, looking confident.
Thanks to Benitez, Liverpool's coaching staff is made up of Spaniards and is no stranger to Juande Ramos.
"This is a difficult problem that all coaches must face when coaching Real Madrid, and that is to prove themselves!" Benitez said sharply, "No matter how good or outstanding your coaching performance is in other teams, but in Real Madrid and at the Bernabeu, you need to prove yourself again. The same is true for players and coaches."
When Benitez said these words, his eyes were shining.
Everyone in the world knows that he is a Real Madrid fan through and through, from childhood to adulthood.
The Aruche district in the southwest of downtown Madrid is known as a paradise for immigrants and a famous slum in Madrid. Rafael Benitez has been chasing footballs in the alleys of the neighborhood since he was a child.
His family was very poor. When he was born, his parents had to settle in a cheap house in Aruce, but strangely, the whole family preferred Real Madrid and the Bernabeu in the distant city center to Atlético Madrid and the Calderon Stadium, which represented the poor and working class closer to the south.
Benitez played in the Real Madrid youth academy, and later made his debut in the Real Madrid youth academy when he was coaching, and then went to Italy for a study tour, and then made his debut in Tenerife, and became a blockbuster.
He has never concealed his wish that one day he can return to the Bernabeu and become the owner of this stadium and this giant team.
Therefore, every time he leads the team to play Real Madrid, Benitez is very excited. It was the same when he was in Valencia, and now he is coaching Liverpool, because he is eager to prove himself in front of this beloved team!
The UEFA Champions League is undoubtedly the best platform!
A platform with special meaning for all Real Madrid people!
……
From Juande Ramos actively responding to Ferguson and playing psychological warfare against Benitez, Benitez and his assistants are already very clear that their next opponent will only choose one tactic, and that is to take the initiative.
At the Bernabeu, the requirements of the fans are not only to win, but also to win beautifully and wonderfully.
If Ramos wants to help himself get a license to stay in Real Madrid, the best choice is to make efforts in the Champions League, defeating Liverpool and breaking through the curse of the Champions League round of [-], which is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Real Madrid's recent state is very good." Tactical analyst Duff McDonough took over the words, "Since December [-], when they lost [-]-[-] away to Barcelona, they have won nine consecutive victories so far. Their opponents include such strong teams as Villarreal, Valencia, Real Mallorca and Deportivo."
"In the last two rounds, Real Madrid's state has been even more explosive. First, they defeated Sporting Gijon [-]-[-] in an away game, and then they beat Real Betis [-]-[-] at home. They scored ten goals in the two games and only conceded one goal. This state is indeed daunting."
Juand Ramos is indeed a very capable head coach. After taking over halfway, he brought very obvious and profound changes to Real Madrid, the most obvious of which is the improvement of defense.
In the last two rounds, the team's offensive firepower has been significantly improved, which is not good news for Liverpool.
"This is Juande's confidence to take the initiative!" Benitez said with a frown.
McDonough nodded and said: "Hunterel cannot represent Real Madrid in the Champions League. If there is no accident, it should still be the combination of Higuain and Raul. Robben plays on the right, Marcelo plays on the left, and the combination of Las Diarra and Gago in the center."
"Juande has always been very good at attacking from the side. Whether in Sevilla or Tottenham Hotspur, the attack from the side has always been his most important method. Therefore, we need to contain his side, especially Robben's side."
When Benitez said this, he looked at Mark Waller, "How is the player recovering from injury?"
"Crouch will definitely not be able to play. Both Yang Yang and Gerrard have recovered well and can participate in the team's joint training, but the game..."
Mark Waller obviously did not dare to make a judgment on this easily, because many things are still hard to say.
The battle is imminent, Yang Yang and Gerrard are the core combat power of the team, the injury of the two players is a great loss to Liverpool, especially Yang Yang, if he can come back before the key battle, the situation of Liverpool will be completely different.
Benitez already has a complete set of mature plans for playing Real Madrid, that is, defensive counterattack.
Yang Yang's speed is currently the most lethal counterattack weapon of this Liverpool team. Although Gareth Bale's speed is also very fast, in terms of personal ability and on-the-spot performance, the Welshman is still far away from Yang Yang.
Benitez frowned and thought for a while, "I need to talk to Yang Yang later."
…………
…………
The day before the game, in the evening.
When Liverpool's plane arrived in Madrid, Benitez took the players out of the Madrid Capital Airport. At the Real Madrid Valdebebas training base near the Capital Airport, the head coach Juande Ramos got Liverpool's list on the back foot.
"Yang Yang and Gerrard both appeared in the 18-man roster!" the assistant coach said worriedly.
These two superstars are both injured, but the situation is completely different.
Yang Yang was injured in the national team game. He has been rested for more than a week. The injury itself is not very serious and he may return at any time. As for Gerrard, he was injured last weekend. It is an old problem and the problem is not serious.
How will Benitez arrange these two superstars?
This is a problem that the Real Madrid coaching staff must face.
Although Juande Ramos took the initiative to provoke psychological warfare before the game, the outside world is not optimistic about Real Madrid.
Dutch star Gullit said when looking forward to this game that he is more optimistic about Liverpool, because although Liverpool suffered a setback in the league and failed to win Manchester City, Benitez's team is always surprising in the cup.
"More importantly, Yang Yang is the most decisive top superstar in European football!"
Former Real Madrid coach and current England national team coach Fabio Capello also said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang will become the most threatening player for Liverpool.
"In order to defend Yang Yang, any team must make extremely hard efforts and at the same time sacrifice its offensive strength, because in today's world football, no one can defend Yang Yang in a one-on-one situation."
Capello also jokingly made a suggestion to his successor, hoping that Ramos will give every Real Madrid player a pistol, because only with a gun can he withstand Yang Yang.
But just this afternoon, when Ramos was interviewed by the media, he openly stated, "We only have a plan to defend Liverpool, but not Yang Yang, because for us, just focusing on Yang Yang alone, nothing can be guaranteed, and it is meaningless. Liverpool has other more threatening players."
This is what Juande Ramos said to the outside world, but in fact, within the team, a major focus of this afternoon's training session is to arrange players to conduct defensive drills around Yang Yang.
Right-back Sergio Ramos is undoubtedly the player entrusted with the task.
Captain Raul said in an interview with the media that he believes that Sergio Ramos can prevent Yang Yang to death, but at the same time, he also hinted that it will not be easy, and even said that Real Madrid does not rule out fouling and kicking tactics in order to stop Yang Yang.
"A player of Yang Yang's type is always kicked more times than other players. This is normal, because in many cases, the players defending him really have no other way to stop him except fouls."
Obviously, in Juand Ramos' team, internally and externally, there are two different rhetoric.
This is not surprising at all, because Yang Yang was No.1 in football at the time, and no one could ignore his threat on the court.
Even if it is as strong as Real Madrid!
……
"According to the information we got from the UK, I heard that before the team set off for Madrid, Benitez had a private chat with Yang Yang for an hour. No one knows exactly what they talked about, but what is certain is that Yang Yang will probably start."
After Juande Ramos heard the news, his eyebrows frowned even tighter.
This is obviously not a news he wants to hear, although he has been preparing to defend Yang Yang, just in case.
If possible, he hopes that Yang Yang will continue to be injured, and it is best not to play.
"Where's Gerald?"
"I don't know. After entering the squad, it is estimated that he will be a substitute."
Crouch did not enter the big list, Dirk is likely to start, but the question is, how will Benitez play this game?Is it to continue to use high positions to press and oppress as before?Or choose a more resolute defensive counterattack?
Real Madrid's offensive firepower in the last two rounds is indeed overwhelming, but Liverpool is not Real Betis, let alone Sporting Gijon.
Whether in Seville or Tottenham Hotspur, Juande Ramos has deeply experienced the power of Benitez and the horror of Yang Yang, a superstar, so he is so worried.
"We have no choice. We must strive to win Liverpool at home, so as to ensure that we have a chance to advance in the away game." Juande Ramos said with a sullen face.
After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads.
The scary thing about Liverpool's team is that they are very stable and have a balanced offense and defense.
"No matter what, prepare for the game with the worst plan. Tomorrow's tactical preparation meeting will focus on how to defend Yang Yang, especially on the right side of Sergio Ramos."
Everyone also showed worry on their faces.
There wasn't much they could do without seeing Liverpool's starting tactics.
