Chapter 60, Greetings
Ancelotti saw the situation of the team and quickly made adjustments.
He did not make substitutions, but made tactical adjustments.
He asked the team to shrink the defense and gave up the idea of playing offensive football in his home court.
Liverpool played passively in the previous 30 minutes of the game because Liverpool originally planned to attack Eindhoven at home and try to win the game easily.
It turned out that Eindhoven was not an easy bone to gnaw. Their offense led to an empty defense line, which instead gave Eindhoven a lot of opportunities.
And for some reason, Liverpool can't find the rhythm of attack now.
That being the case, it is better to give up the offense temporarily and defend with peace of mind, at least in the first half to maintain a tie without conceding a goal.
In this way, wait until the intermission to make adjustments.
Fortunately, the Liverpool players have reacted and know that today's opponent is not weak.
Therefore, they have begun to pay attention to their opponents in terms of mentality. They will adjust as Ancelotti says, and they will not feel that the 520 coach asked them to shrink their defense. The adjustment is wrong.
After shrinking the defense, Eindhoven's offense is not so much of a threat.
Eindhoven did not dare to press too hard, they were also worried about Liverpool's counterattack.
A Liverpool that presses out to attack is not terrible, but a Liverpool that shrinks its defense is the scariest. Ancelotti is very good at playing defensive counterattacks.
Coupled with Su Han, PSV did not dare to neglect.
So they also slowed down the pace of attack.
In the end, the two sides scored a zero-to-zero tie in the first half.
Although they did not score, the Eindhoven players are quite satisfied because they have the advantage on the field. As long as they continue to play like this, they believe that they will definitely be able to score goals.
On the contrary, the Liverpool players looked a little dazed when they left the field.
They don't know why the first half played like this...
But there was Ancelotti's adjustment during the intermission. When they thought of this, their confusion was not so deep.
When Ancelotti first came to Liverpool, he was also suspected by Liverpool players.
But now, no one doubted him anymore.
The reversal in the second half of last season was not only due to Su Han, but also to Ancelotti.
During the intermission, Eindhoven's head coach Kocu kept encouraging the players, praising them for playing well in the first half and continuing to work hard in the second half. If they just play like this, the victory will definitely belong to them.
Leading Eindhoven to participate in the Champions League this season, he didn't expect to just play soy sauce in the group stage and leave.
Like Liverpool, he has ambitions and is unwilling to accept fate.
This game against Liverpool is also part of his ambition.
If it can't win, the situation of PSV is very dangerous.
At the same time, in the dressing room next door, Ancelotti is also making adjustments to the team.
He didn't criticize the team's performance in the first half, not because he was merciful, but because he didn't want to waste his saliva, energy and time on this kind of pointless verbal dispute, he is a man who won't Say something beautiful, but more inclined to practical people.
From the time the players entered the goal (adfg), he began to arrange the tactics for the team in the second half.
Judging from the observation of the first half, Eindhoven's offensive was very fierce.
If Liverpool play against them, although it is not impossible to win, but the cost of paying is a bit high.
With the team already qualifying first in the group, Ancelotti doesn't want to pay too much to win the next game.
He opted to play on the counter-attack in the second half and let PSV attack, and as time went on, if they couldn't score goals, they would become more impatient because they had to win this game, not Liverpool.
In this way, Liverpool will get a lot of opportunities to counterattack easily, as long as they can seize one of the opportunities, it is enough to kill the game.
"Peace of mind and mentality are very important. Our mentality is better than theirs. It's them who should panic, not us."
Finally, Ancelotti put down the pen in his hand and said to his players.
Before the start of the second half, Meng Faith Depay and his teammates came out of the locker room and walked along the aisle to the outside.
Here he sees Su Han coming from the Liverpool dressing room.
He couldn't help casting his eyes over and locked on Su Han.
In his opinion, if he wants to lead Eindhoven out of this group, this person is a big mountain in front of him.
He must turn over and conquer him.
Although it was difficult, Meng Faith. Depay did not lose confidence and courage.
Football is a contest of wits, no one is invincible, we can definitely beat Liverpool
Su Han suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to look according to his feeling, and saw Meng Faith. Depay.
The No. 10 of PSV Eindhoven was staring at himself.
Out of politeness, Su Han nodded to the other party.
Meng Faith. Depay was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly nodded to Su Han.
Although the two are rivals on the court, they don't have any personal grievances and they don't need to be too tense off the court.
After saying hello, Su Han turned around and continued walking.
Meng Faith. Depay followed behind him and walked to the court. .
