Chapter Thirty-Three, Difficult To Win, The Shortcomings Of The Reserve Team.
Chapter Thirty-Three, Difficult to win, the shortcomings of the reserve team.
The road to the championship begins with a game against Brentford.
Brentford's history in the Premier League is scant.
They are not strong.
I have been in the English Championship for a few years, and I can't get up or down.
There are many such teams in England.
They maintain the tradition of traditional English football.
Carrying high the traditional flag of English football with long balls and high balls.
This style of play is very rough.
But this style of play is the mainstream style of play in low-level leagues.
Because where do these teams have the money to buy foreign skilled players?
they can only use homegrown england players
The players trained in England's huge youth training system are almost born with this style of play. "Six Zero Three"
Therefore, these low-level leagues abandon traditional British tactics to pursue ground coordination and technical flow.
That's because I'm making myself feel uncomfortable - if there are really low-level leagues that are so rich, wouldn't it be good to buy some local strongmen to make it to the top?
Most of the teams in the Championship are like Brentford.
The most important thing is physical confrontation.
Only those with excellent physical fitness can survive here.
Brentford's style is of course quite tough.
They have been in the British Championship for so many years, of course they know how to bring their rough style to the extreme.
Therefore, the Liverpool reserve team is facing such old fritters in the British Championship.
Not so easy to deal with.
The same is true for the process of the game.
Liverpool scored the first goal here.
After a successful dribble, Su Han kicked a shot from the penalty area line, curled the ball, the ball bypassed the defender, and flew into the goal along the inside edge of the post.
Very nice shot.
But soon.
Brentford returned the favor.
When they passed the ball into the penalty area, the center forward leaned on the centre-back for a header. Stevenson, an inexperienced reserve linebacker, didn't pay attention to his hands.
The opponent's striker is a veteran of the low-level league with considerable experience.
The opponent didn't let go when he saw the football flying over.
He slammed backwards.
Then Stevens was just about to move forward to block the position, and it turned into pulling and stumbling.
Penalty!
The referee gave Stevenson a yellow card after awarding a penalty.
Liverpool fans booed at Anfield.
Everyone was very dissatisfied with this penalty.
They thought the Brentford striker was diving.
However, the penalty cannot be changed.
Liverpool were awarded a penalty kick.
Brentford's penalty striker smiled and slotted the ball in with ease.
One to one.
Brentford equalized.
Stevenson, who made a mistake, was very frustrated.
This is a matter of experience.
If we simply talk about technical ability and physical fitness.
Stevenson is probably stronger than the Brentford striker.
But his game experience is much less than that of the opponent.
So this time, it was completely a loss of inexperience.
Just then.
A hand clapped hard on his back.
It's Su Han.
He didn't say anything.
Just patted each other, and then ran away.
sometimes.
Talking too much does no good.
Speaking with actions is the most convincing.
Brentford are pretty tough indeed.
Their style just makes these young people in the reserve team very uncomfortable.
When did you see this battle in the reserve league?
All of a sudden.
The players are a little timid.
Except Su Han.
Su Han scored a hat-trick.
Ti....
Liverpool also conceded three goals.
Three to three!
The commentators were shaking their heads.
They all felt that the strength of Liverpool's reserve team was too poor.
If only relying on Su Han, I am afraid it will be difficult to go further in Biyu.
Ancelotti always stood on the sidelines.
His brows were furrowed.
The situation on the field is not good for Liverpool.
But he was not in a hurry.
Because the players in the reserve team are just inexperienced, it doesn't mean they have no strength.
At least a team like Brentford.
After the players of the reserve team gradually adapted to the opponent's rhythm.
It will be difficult for them to get any decent opportunities.
And what about Su Han?
He scored the winning goal in the 89th minute of the game.
There was a big four.
Helped the team win this game.
While Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually knew it too.
If you use the reserve team to play this kind of game, you will inevitably encounter such a situation.
but.
He was also delighted by the growth of the reserve players in the second half of the game.
For these young players.
A tough battle with a hard bridge and a hard horse will benefit their growth much more than several months of training.
*****
But after the game.
The media are criticizing Liverpool's performance.
Facing a Championship team like Brentford.
Even if they are the reserve team
It shouldn't be so unbearable.
"In my opinion, the strength of the current Liverpool reserve team is hardly worthy of the name of Liverpool. They are too weak under the impact of Brentford."
The media took it easy and analyzed the 0.8 mistakes made by the Liverpool reserve team in this game and the embarrassment of their performance.
After reading it, everyone felt that they were right.
Reserves are reserves.
If it is really good, how can it be reduced to the point of going to the reserve team?
Therefore, it is unreliable for Liverpool to use the reserve team to play cup games.
This is equivalent to using some players who do not have much professional league experience and are not very talented to play for teams in the top leagues of the Premier League and the British Championship.
This time it was won by Su Han's outburst.
next time?
Liverpool want to win in the League Cup and FA Cup.
At least.
A few more first-team players should be added.
At least there should be a solid central axis. .
