"We have to attack in the second half" Every Valencia player in the visiting team's locker room did not expect that the first words Flores said when they returned to the locker room were this.
They were all a little stunned, or a little surprised.
The team was suppressed by the home team Liverpool for most of the first half.
It was completely different from their pre-match plan.
They didn't even have a quick counterattack that was eye-catching.
I was originally prepared to accept Flores' dissatisfaction, but this plot is completely wrong.
However, since Flores did not express dissatisfaction with the first half, they would not be stupid enough to remind the coach.
Flores then took over the tactical board from assistant Paul.
He first adjusted the positions of the three midfielders.
Edu and Baraja were responsible for the defense of the center full-time to maintain pressure on Liverpool's offense. , and Ballack's position is slightly further forward, responsible for controlling the team's offensive and defensive rhythm.
At the same time, he must also be careful to boldly move forward when there is an opportunity.
The most important adjustment is to move David Silva to a position similar to the attacking midfielder.
In layman's terms, he is the offensive organizer, responsible for creating opportunities for Aiello and David Villa.
Aiello's position is more dynamic than in the first half, and the entire frontcourt is his activity area.
After explaining all the tactics, Flores handed the tactical board back to Paul, and then said excitedly to the players in front of him, "Do you have confidence in this game?"
The first to respond was Baraja, who replaced Albelda as captain, "confident" "Have confidence" Then there was a chorus of passionate cheers.
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room was quite heavy.
Anyone who didn't know the results on the field would have thought that Valencia was leading at halftime.
When the players returned to the locker room with smiles on their faces, head coach Benitez's expression was quite ugly.
He was obviously dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
“Do you think it’s us, Liverpool, who are destined to reach the final?”
Benitez raised his head with a livid face and looked at the smiling players.
After being asked suddenly by Benitez, the players entering the locker room realized that the head coach's expression was so ugly.
So they wisely suppressed their smiles and instead frowned, looking worried.
If any outsiders saw it, they would definitely give a thumbs up and call them: a group of movie kings Seeing the upright attitude of the players in front of him, Benitez did not continue to put on a bad face, but turned around and pointed one by one at a series of complicated moves such as the attack direction and position codes that had been drawn long ago.
Finally, let’s talk about the team’s defense.
Of course, putting defense at the end does not mean that it is not taken seriously.
On the contrary, it is still the top priority.
With this score, the team can directly advance to the Champions League finals this season.
It is important to reiterate the importance of defense before the game.
Very necessary.
Moreover, the team often loses focus during the key defensive stage.
Benitez focused on explaining the importance of defense before going out in order to keep the players tense and focus on the score in the second half of the game.
Maintain until the end.
Of course, it would be better if the score could be expanded "If I guess correctly, Valencia will definitely strengthen their offense in the second half.
It will be a test for Liverpool's defense.
You must know that their overall defense is not strong.
Among the top four in the Premier League, Liverpool's Conceded the most goals” During the halftime period, Andy Gray explained and analyzed the second half of the game with his guests.
"This possibility is very high.
After all, Valencia has no way out.
If the game ends with this score, they will be eliminated.
Only by attacking can they hope to advance."
His guest commentator nodded in agreement.
"However, Valencia's offensive routine should be a bit monotonous, because their captain Alberda plays the exemption card at critical times, which has a huge impact on both defense and offense, but" Andy Gray changed his voice.
"If Ai's performance can be more positive, the result will be difficult to predict, because he is synonymous with magic.

When he is in good condition, he is unpredictable and scores goals.
But when he is not in good condition, like these few days, he is unpredictable.
It’s the same as every Champions League knockout match, making it difficult for the team to open up the situation.”
As soon as the camera turned, it switched to the players tunnel of Anfield Stadium.
The players from both sides just walked to the players tunnel.
Andy Gray coughed lightly and then continued to explain, "The players from both sides of the game have walked out of the locker room.
They're going to give us the last 45 minutes of the game."
When Aiello was about to enter the stadium from the players' tunnel, he suddenly stopped and looked up again at the metal plaque above the lintel.
“This is Anfield” At this moment, he seemed to feel a trace of majesty coming from this metal plaque.
Anfield is an old stadium, so the player channel is not wide.
Aiello suddenly stopped there, which surprised David Silva behind him, and then the teammates behind him bumped into each other like a car accident scene. .
"What's wrong, Ai?"
David Silva pushed Aiello with his hand.
However, Aiello did not respond, but continued to look at the plaque saying This is Anfield.
At the same time, in addition to the home team players who had already entered the stadium, they also stopped and turned to look at Aiello, who was looking up at the "This is Anfield" plaque in a daze.
Aiello is one of the most watched figures in this game, and the stadium director will naturally pay special attention to these players, so when Aiello stopped and looked at the plaque, the director switched the camera to the forty-five-year-old behind Aiello.
The camera is positioned at about 10 degrees, so fans watching the TV broadcast can see the entire shot.
Aiello stares at the panoramic view of the metal plaque reading "This is Anfield".
After Liverpool TV commentator Kenny Dalglish saw this shot, his voice changed and he said proudly, "Look, great Red Army fans, this Chinese has bowed before our great Anfield."
But before he finished speaking, his words were stuck in his throat.
Because then Ai Luo's expression turned into contempt, and then he spat a mouthful of thick saliva toward the bottom of the plaque, and it was also thick with phlegm.
"Nothing, suddenly thick phlegm stuck in my throat," Aiello said calmly, and walked into the court without waiting for David Silva's reaction. "" Seeing Aiello's disrespect for the sacred Anfield plaque, vice-captain Carragher was about to argue with Aiello, but he was stopped by Gerrard, "The only way to teach him a lesson is to beat them, not with fists."
When Aiello re-entered the stadium, the fans in the stands immediately booed overwhelmingly, and the home fans on both sides of the exit of the player tunnel continued to use unpleasant and foul language.
Hearing the extremely unpleasant swear words, Aiello didn't care, but shrugged, stopped for half a step, and started chatting with David Silva.
Ai Luo didn't know that his scene had been transmitted through signals to every TV station that had the rights to broadcast this game, and was also discussed by all commentators.
Of course, this is not in his consideration.
His mission is to win this game.
Publicly and privately, he has to help the team qualify for the Champions League.
Otherwise, the team will be eliminated and his ability will also be comprehensive.
Decline, too much is not worth it The second half of the game started after the referee blew his whistle.
Although Liverpool took the lead to kick off, they were quickly intercepted by Valencia players and launched a quick counterattack.
Unfortunately, David Villa's shot was not missed due to Agger's interference.
A direct threat to the goal guarded by Reina.
As the game continued, the mental state of the Valencia players in the second half was obviously much better than that in the first half.
Whether it was passing, cutting, or personal breakthroughs, they all looked much more confident than in the first half.
However, the team's offense picked up, but Aiello was in trouble.
He fell into Liverpool's foul tactics, especially Carragher, who often came to fill Finnan's position.
Facing Aiello's defense, he was all hands and feet.
Using both of them together, taking advantage of his height and width, he would always make a few small moves for Aiello.
It wasn't until the referee gave him a severe warning that he restrained himself.
When the game reached the 55th minute, Benitez watched the team's ball possession rate keep dropping, and immediately realized that it was time for the team to make adjustments.
Three minutes later, he used love to beat Javia.
Ronso replaced Pennant who had not contributed anything since the start of the second half.
Xabi Alonso's appearance also made Liverpool's formation begin to change, especially in the midfield.
Xabi Alonso and Mascherano partnered as a midfielder, Gerrard was in the center, and Zenden and Kuyt were on the left and one on the left.

Right, Crouch stands as a beacon at center.
The change in formation has also raised Liverpool's defensive capabilities to a higher level, and Aiello's opportunities have become fewer, because the annoying Mascherano has become his full-time bodyguard again.
Two minutes later, Aiello was preparing to catch the ball on the right sideline thirty meters away from the bottom line.
Unexpectedly, Mascherano tackled the ball directly from the right side and behind.
Aiello's body subconsciously jumped up, and the ball under his feet The football naturally lost control, and Mascherano poked the ball to Zenden on the left.
Zenden, who took the ball, did not stick to the ball.
Instead, he gave the ball directly to Gerrard and continued to run forward.
No one expected that Aiello would lose the ball at this time.
The right back Miguel's reaction was a little slower than half a beat and was wiped out by Zenden.
Gerrard spotted Zenden's movement and directly kicked a through ball over 40 meters from the right side of his own arc, passing between Miguel and Albiol.
Although Zenden is 30 years old this year, his speed is not much slower than at his peak.
He caught the football 25 meters away from the baseline, and then directed the ball towards the penalty area.
When his man just entered the penalty area, he looked up and saw the blond Canizares already close at hand.
He subconsciously pushed the ball forward with his left foot.
Then Canizares's foot also arrived, and he pushed Cen Deng was shoveled to the ground. beep The referee's whistle also sounded
