Chapter 388 Su Dong's Stupid Method
Rijkaard walked back to the visiting coach's bench expressionlessly.

He didn't know how many times he repeated this action throughout the game.

I couldn't sit still, walked out to the command area, walked back after a while, and soon couldn't sit still...

At this time, the game has entered the second half, and it will be 65 minutes soon. Barcelona controls the situation on the field, but it has been unable to find an effective way to score.

The score is still one to zero, and the home team Liverpool temporarily leads.

Rijkaard has been regretting one thing, that is, he did not listen to Su Dong's opinion.

In terms of familiarity with Benitez, Su Dong far surpasses everyone in the Barcelona team. He mentioned this matter to Rijkaard through the media and privately before the game. He thinks that Benitez has always been very shrewd.

But Rijkaard didn't listen.

What he thought before the game was very reasonable. As long as he scored an away goal, Liverpool would be finished. They would not be able to defend and had to press out to attack Barcelona. At this time, the rhythm of the game and possession of the ball were completely under the control of Barcelona.

As for what Sudong was worried about, Liverpool might make a fuss about Barcelona's opening attack. Rijkaard also felt normal, and he even welcomed Benitez's team to do so.

On the offensive, who was Barcelona afraid of?
But the facts proved that Su Dong was right.

After the opening, Liverpool made a decisive attack and was willing to invest in the counterattack. They scored a goal in just 4 minutes.

At this time, Barcelona has not yet fully entered the game state.

After grabbing the goal, Liverpool began to guard against death and let Barcelona attack.

Even, in the 10th minute, Benitez shamelessly replaced Baros, who assisted Luis Garcia's goal, and replaced him with Cisse, who was more capable of counterattacking.

This guy is still as wretched as before, as long as he can win!

Barcelona attacked for an hour, but Liverpool defended impregnably.

The absence of Xavi Alonso has little impact. Hamann, Biscayne and Gerrard form a three-back midfielder. The two wings, Riise and Luis Garcia, are also basically in the midfield.

Time is getting shorter and shorter, whether it is the players on the field or the coaches on the sidelines, there is a clear sense of urgency.

Rijkaard walked out of the command area significantly more frequently.

The Dutch black swan knew he had made a mistake, but he didn't know how to make it up.

In other words, facing Benitez's defensive posture, he has nothing to do.

But people always have to change.

…………

…………

"It's almost time."

Benitez looked at the watch on his wrist, it was 65 minutes.

According to his guess, Rijkaard's substitution time should also be around 65 minutes, with a difference between 5 minutes.

No way, Rijkaard has always been like this, and his on-the-spot command can be said to be nothing new.

Just like that arrogant man at Stamford Bridge, there is nothing new about it.

Yesterdan looked at Benitez and smiled bitterly in his heart helplessly.

Anyone who faces Benitez will feel very painful, because this guy will calculate every step very accurately, deduce every possibility, and give a targeted strategy.

For example, replacing Baros in 10-[-] minutes was already in his plan, because the Czech center had four stitches in his knee, and he wouldn't be able to play for long. On the contrary, it was Cisse who was more threatening when he counterattacked.

All that remains is to see how Barcelona play their cards.

As the head coach, Benitez has no way to fully control everything that happens on the field. For example, he has no way to calculate that Liverpool will score in the 4th minute.

Who would have thought that Barcelona would give gifts at the beginning?

"Guess who will be replaced?" Yesterdan asked with concern.

Benitez crossed his legs, with a notepad on his lap, a pen in his hand, chewing the tasteless chewing gum in his mouth, and after thinking about it, he nodded, "That's the trick that Rijkaard is best at."

"Iniesta?"

Benitez nodded. Iniesta's performance this season is really good. He has gained a firm foothold in the first team, especially the tacit understanding between him and Su Dong.

"He probably will replace Oleg, Marcos will return to the central defender, Harvey will drag back, Iniesta and Deco will move forward, leaving Giuly on the field, if he wants to bet bigger, it may be to replace Giuly and push the teenager Messi up. In this way, their right flank is the attacking combination of Iniesta, Messi and Belletti, plus Sudong in front."

When it came to the end, Benitez pondered for a while, nodded and said: "There are only 10 minutes left in the two rounds. He should not keep the cards anymore. He should play them all in one go."

Sure enough, after 2 minutes, Barcelona changed two people in a row.

Iniesta replaced Oleg, Messi replaced Giuly.

"Look, he is so uninspired." Benitez said lightly.

Hearing his tone, he was not happy that he guessed Rijkaard's mind, but complained a little, feeling that Rijkaard's on-the-spot adjustment was really weak.

If you have the ability to replace Su Dong, I count you as great!
"Be careful, let Nunes go up and replace Luis Garcia."

Yesterdan glanced at the head coach, hesitated for a moment, said nothing, nodded and shouted to the bench behind him.

This is a substitution to strengthen the defense. Obviously, Benitez is still very afraid of Su Dong.

Benitez, the head coach, always likes to be fully prepared, so he made a lot of plans before the game on how to defend Su Dong, which can be seen from the first round of the game.

Don't look at Su Dong creating two excellent scoring chances, but in fact, he himself didn't have a single scoring chance.

Hypia and Carragher became the best players in the Liverpool team. This is not accidental, but because they basically froze Su Dong, so that Su Dong did not get a good chance throughout the game.

The same goes for tonight.

Benitez valued Su Dong more than anyone else, and knew Su Dong's strength better than anyone else.

Because that's how Su Dong led Valencia all the way to counterattack and climbed to the podium of the Champions League.

How could Benitez not be aware of Su Dong's strength and potential?
How could he not pay attention?
Before the game, he just didn't talk about it.

…………

…………

After Messi and Iniesta played, Barcelona's offense played more actively.

Especially after 10 minutes, the two full-backs began to actively press up and open the sideways, but the effect was not obvious.

Liverpool's defense is really quite solid, especially after Nunes replaced Luis Garcia, Benitez began to shrink the defense of the midfield to prevent Barcelona from easily passing the ball.

This also forced Ronaldinho, Iniesta, Messi and others to retreat to get more balls.

In this way, the distance between them and Su Dong was further extended.

Although Ronaldinho, Messi, Iniesta and Deco are all good dribblers, it is basically unrealistic to dribble through Liverpool's two defense lines and send the ball to Su Dong's feet.

The scene is still very stalemate.

There is really nothing Barcelona can do.

Su Dong is like a nail, firmly nailed to the top of the front arc of Liverpool's penalty area. No matter which direction the attack is launched from, he will lead Liverpool's defensive players to run back and forth.

This is what Benitez taught him.

As long as you are human, you must have the possibility of making mistakes.

No matter how strong the defense is, as long as you apply enough pressure to exhaust the defender's body and energy to the limit, they will definitely make mistakes.

The key is whether they make a mistake first and you catch it, or if you don't catch it, the game is over.

Su Dong held on to this belief, and he kept running.

Hyypia, Carragher, Harman, and even Traore, Finnan, Gerrard and Biscayne kept running after him.

This method is the most stupid, but it is also the most effective.

It's like Yugong Yishan, and it's like the sentence that domestic netizens said, as long as the hoe dances well, how can there be a city wall that cannot be dug down?
Ronaldinho and other Barcelona players were too far away from Su Dong. They tried to send the ball to Su Dong through long-distance passes, but they were mostly high balls.

Benitez has been guarding him all the time.

……

The time slipped into eight 10 minutes.

The time left for Barcelona has become less and less.

Liverpool's defensive players did not dare to be careless at all, and the head coach Benitez also began to walk to the sidelines and kept shouting at the players on the field, because he had already begun to clearly feel that the physical energy of several players was exhausted and their performance declined.

But the terrible thing is that Su Dong still looks like a lively dragon.

"Not only has this kid's physical fitness improved significantly, but his physical fitness and endurance have also improved a lot."

Benitez walked back to the coach of the home team, but did not sit in.

He was a little worried.

Yesterdan nodded. Among the players he has coached, Su Dong is the first, and so far, the only player who has his own personal coaching team. Even if other players hire personal coaches, it is mostly for injuries and the like.

But Su Dong's personal trainer team is really professional, which makes him improve every year, especially his body.

"Be careful, the players are starting to lose their ability to run," Yesterdan reminded.

Benitez nodded. Being led by Su Dong throughout the game, he still had to bear the pressure exerted by Su Dong. The consumption of the defensive players was also very high. Many people began to be unable to run, such as Finnan.

His body was injured, and as his physical strength was exhausted, he began to be unable to press up to block Ronaldinho.

The Brazilian player is very smart and saw Finnan's problem at once, but he didn't intend to take advantage of it for the time being.

He's waiting for a signal from So-dong.

Su Dong is running with Harman, Carragher and Hypia, trying to consume, to see who can't bear it first.

When the game progressed to No. 807 minutes, the chance that Su Dong had fought for for a long time finally appeared!
