    The entire stadium was filled with cries of surprise from Schalke 04 fans. They were originally worried about Schalke 04. Judging from the scene, Schalke 04 was already very passive. The offense did not pose much of a threat. Once counterattacked, the defense was exhausted.  If you keep playing like this, you will lose sooner or later.  However, the charm of a football game is that it is unpredictable. The one with the advantage will not necessarily lose, and the one with the disadvantage will not necessarily win. In the blink of an eye, the situation of the game was reversed. An own goal made Schalke 04 lose.  A disadvantage turned into an advantage, and Liverpool turned from an advantage into a disadvantage.  Schalke 04 will play easily next. They don¡¯t need to attack fiercely, as long as they can hold on to the current score, because time is on their side.  It is impossible for Liverpool to wait as patiently as they did in the opening game to catch Schalke 04's mistakes and counterattack. Schalke 04 are not fools. They know that their strength is not as good as Liverpool. The reason for the fierce opening attack is because they are playing at home. If they are playing at home,  If they can't beat Liverpool, there will be no hope at the terrifying Anfield Stadium. They can only bite the bullet and launch an attack. Now that they have unexpectedly taken the lead, of course they will not risk attacking again.  Defending is definitely easier than attacking. Even if the Chinese team forms an iron barrel formation, Liverpool can¡¯t say that it will definitely be able to break through within 90 minutes. Moreover, Schalke 04 is still ranked second in the Bundesliga standings and has reached the top 16 of the Champions League.  team.  After kicking off again, Liverpool had a hard time playing. The German players were tall and big, covering a wide area. There was only so much space in the half court. With so many players standing there, there was no space for either passing or breaking through.  Moreover, German players are extremely disciplined in defense, have solid basic skills, and rarely make defensive mistakes. Liverpool cannot count on their opponents if they want to attack, but can only rely on themselves.  At first, Benitez adopted the method of continuous bombing, trying to force Schalke 04 to make mistakes with continuous attacks. Under the pressure of Liverpool, the average team would not let alone twenty minutes.  , even if it lasts for ten minutes, it may not be able to bear it, but Schalke 04's players are still very strong. Liverpool attacked for twenty minutes but failed to break through Schalke 04's goal. Instead, they were beaten by Schalke 04.  Although there were several threatening counterattacks, no ball was conceded, but the defensive players were not so determined when assisting.  Seeing that the efficiency of this offense is not as good as that of their opponent Schalke 04, tactical coach Duff hinted from the side that this offense is not good. If this continues, Liverpool may not have broken through the door of Schalke 04. Schalke  04 first broke Liverpool's goal.  Benitez obviously has not given up yet. He feels that this attack only lasted for 20 minutes. It does not mean that this attack is useless. It is just that the time is not long enough. If the pressure continues, Schalke 04 will not be able to block it.  Easy, as for being counterattacked by Schalke 04, in Benitez's view, any offensive method will be counterattacked, and he will never stop eating due to choking.  Benitez did not change his tactics. He allowed Liverpool's players to continue attacking until the end of the half. Unfortunately, Schalke 04 performed really well today and did not collapse under Liverpool's continuous attacks. Two times Liverpool were in the penalty area.  Several passes were passed in, but they were still unable to break through the goal guarded by Neuer.  However, Schalke 04 did not take any advantage. In the final stage of the first half, under Liverpool's full attack, Schalke 04 no longer had the ability to counterattack and could only defend passively.  During the halftime break, Benitez did not go to the players' locker room for a long time. He and his assistant coaches had a heated discussion about the tactical issues in the first half. Tactics coach Duff believed that the tactics after losing the ball  Unreasonable and unable to change the situation on the field. Benitez experimented for most of the game in the first half, and the effect was not good. However, Benitez was still hesitant because in the final stage of the first half, the opponent had no  In order to fight back, Benitez felt that as long as Liverpool added a little more pressure, Schalke 04 might not be able to handle it. After a collective discussion, the coaching staff decided to continue the tactics of the first half at the beginning. If ten minutes  If you still can't score, you change your tactics.  Ten minutes later, Benitez came to the locker room and summarized the problems of the players in the first half. He did not criticize Benayoun too much for causing the own goal. Instead, he encouraged him to calm down and play in the second half.  Play hard and try to make up for your mistakes.  Finally, Benitez also exchanged his views on the first half of the game and his opponent Schalke 04 with Chen Yu and Gerrard alone. Chen Yu and Gerrard thought that Schalke 04 was not easy to play.  The team has the tenacity of the German team and the rare passion of the German team. The offense is very good. If they are given too many opportunities to counterattack, the goal will be very dangerous, but they can¡¯t think of any good way.  Everything is subject to the coach's instructions.  Benitez explained the agreed-upon tactics to Gerrard and Chen Yu. At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, calling for the change of clothes.The players here gather and the second half of the game is about to begin.  After the start of the second half, Liverpool launched an attack from the first second. The offensive was only stronger than in the first half. However, they did not expect that Schalke 04 was very tenacious with the cheers of the home fans. It seemed that they were about to score every time.  Collapsed, but survived in the end. In addition, Schalke 04 was also very lucky. Liverpool hit the goal post once, and Schalke 04 midfielder Ernst also had a goal-line save. Otherwise, Liverpool  Also broken.  However, luck is also part of the football game. Benitez knows this very well. He is not mediocre, but a master tactician. After ten minutes of the second half, he made a prompt decision to adjust the starting lineup and change tactics.  style of play.  Benitez replaced Benayoun, replaced Wolenin, and changed to a three-forward style of play.  Benayoun was replaced not because he scored an own goal in the first half, but because Benayoun still failed to adjust his mentality in the second half. He was too impatient to pass and break through when Schalke 04 was so defensive.  , caused a lot of mistakes, and was also hit by Schalke 04 on several counterattacks.  Benayoun is the most technically skilled midfielder in Liverpool, but with such a mentality, it will be difficult for Benayoun to show his strength later on, and he is likely to get worse as he plays. Replacing him is actually a disservice to him.  a kind of protection.  The reason why Wolenin was replaced instead of Crouch was because although Crouch had the advantage in height, he was disadvantaged in strength. His bamboo pole-like body was difficult to compete with the strong German men. In this case, it would be better to  Replace with a flexible forward and let Chen Yu and Wolenin attack from the two wings.  Schalke 04's wing offense has always been their strong point. The full-backs Rafinha and Westerman have strong assist capabilities. However, after today's premature goal, Schalke 04 focused all their energy on  Used on defense, the assist abilities of Raphinha and Westerman were almost completely wasted, and only a few counterattacks passed the half.  Raphinha and Westermann have strong assist ability but average defensive ability, otherwise they would not stay in the Bundesliga. Benitez sent Wolenen to play three forwards in order to complete the breakthrough from the wing and then break through.  Schalke 04 goal.  The key to the success of Benitez's adjustment lies in the two wings. Only when the wings open up can the center get better opportunities. If the wings cannot be opened, the center will only shrink even more.  Wolenin is just a substitute in Liverpool, and Benitez¡¯s treasure will certainly not fall on him. His trump card is still Chen Yu.  In the first half, Chen Yu actually did not go all out. This was an arrangement made by Benitez. Chen Yu's current physical fitness is still not very good. It is difficult to maintain a high-intensity game within 90 minutes.  In the first half, both players' physical and mental state were very strong. At this time, even if Chen Yu went all out, he could not guarantee a goal. Instead of doing this, it would be better for Chen Yu to save his physical fitness in the second half. At that time, Schalke  04 Physical exhaustion and mental exhaustion may result in a fatal blow.  During the substitution, Benitez raised his hand and called Chen Yu to the sidelines and said: "Time is running out, the outcome depends on you!" Chen Yu nodded, and he also understood the current situation.  If the score cannot be equalized as soon as possible, it will be almost impossible for Liverpool to win Schalke 04 away from home.  Although Schalke 04 has been very passive, they have been leading and the defensive effect is also very good. Slomka saw that Benitez made substitution adjustments and his style of play also changed, but he did not  Yes, we will still use the 11 starting players to challenge.  Slomka's approach cannot be miscalculated, but there is one thing that he did not expect, that is, Chen Yu, who was guarded tightly in the first half, suddenly showed his strength in the second half. He broke through from the wing and created a big impact for Schalke 04.  Although Rafinha is a talented defender, he cannot stop the World Footballer who is going all out and can only frequently ask for help from the players in the midfield and center.  The distribution of the 11 players on the court is very even. Only one player can be placed in each position and area. If other players help Rafinha, the positions they defend will be vacant.  There is nothing we can do about this. We can¡¯t wait to see what position is in trouble. We must first help that position to overcome that difficulty. As for the last person to fill in the defense, it is hard to say who will fill his position.  Chen Yu originally thought that if he went all out, he could easily smash this young Brazilian defender into pieces, but he didn't expect that Rafinha was really capable. He went all out, and he just called a helper.  One against two, Chen Yu really didn't take any advantage.  Seeing that there was not much time left, Chen Yu was a little irritated. He waved to Riise and several players in the middle behind him, asking them to follow closely. He would use their strength to complete the victory.Assault from the wing.
