Trapani looked to be in trouble, suffering from stubborn resistance from their rivals in the first round of the league and failing to get off to a good start, while the team suffered a lot of injuries and lacked a few big players.

When it comes to fighting the Premier League, the Italian media spontaneously began to give Trapani a boost, which is their specialty, and they also like to give Lippi during the World Cup.

Several former national football writers recruited by the new sports website have written op-eds analysing Trapani's first-round clash with Liverpool, and after the Champions League draw, everyone said that Trapani had been assigned to a good group and that no one had forgotten the impact of the fixtures.

Now it looks like the schedule is not very favourable for Trapani, and the impact may be significant.

Some people say that Klinsmann should choose a defensive posture, and your brother's attacking genes should be changed, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in the game against Liverpool

Some say that Klinsmann should continue to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of death and continue to keep the team in a good attacking style.

It was also said that Klinsmann could consider changing the formation to make up for Messi's absence, and Di Maria was too young.

Trapani's situation Liverpool knows very well, Benitez even found a lot of video of the game between the German team and Trapani, he is a master tactician, recognized by the European media as a master tactician, in 2005 his Liverpool won the Champions League that season, and it was the Italian team that was defeated at that time, to be precise, it was not to beat or to catch up, and tied Milan.

He was impressed by Milan and he was aware of Liverpool's shortcomings.

Every day he can know the news outside, who is out of Trapani, Messi is expected to play, etc., Benitez is not very serious, the media, what can you write if you don't write these?!

On paper, even if Klose and Messi are absent, their strength is still higher than that of their own team, especially their midfield, as well as their strikers.

Benitez did not dare to underestimate Trapani, he stayed up late into the night for both nights, studying Trapani's past and the friendly match with Trapani in the summer.

Trapani is different from Milan, Milan is more about control, while Trapani is not, they did not pay much attention to possession during the Deschamps period, on the contrary, their rhythm controller Pizarro passes forward a lot, and the passes to both sides are also particularly prominent, making full use of the speed breakthrough advantage on the wings.

When Klinsmann came to power, Benitez found that Klinsmann paid less attention to possession, and he advocated aggressive attacks, not boiled frogs, which was completely different from the Italian style of football.

Before flying to Trapani, Liverpool held a pre-match press conference, and Benitez complimented Trapani.

"We all know that they were the Serie A champions last season or the Champions League runners-up, so it goes without saying! We can't take them lightly because of their injuries, they are at home and I want the players to play with a 12-point spirit! ”

"Mr. Benitez, can you tell us about your tactics?" The Italian newspaper La Repubblica would love to find out about it, but Benitez wouldn't tell you.

On the 13th, the city of Trapani was completely transformed into a world of football, and it was the first time that the Trapani Stadium made its Champions League debut, and it was also the first time that the citizens of Trapani watched the Champions League game up close.

In order to welcome the Champions League to Trapani, Trapani City Hall has done a lot of preparations with Trapani Club, planting Champions League flags in the streets and alleys of Trapani, as well as the flags of Trapani and Liverpool, and around Trapani Stadium, it is arranged with a strong atmosphere.

The citizens of Trapani talk about the Group C clash every day, and Siglino's bar is full of talkers.

Many people are not unaware of Trapani's current predicament, but in the statistics interviewed by Roma Sports on the streets, the vast majority of Trapani fans still think that Trapani will win, and the reason they give is that we are very strong, and there is no reason why we can't win Liverpool in the Premier League.

When it came to match day, the Trapani fans did not do anything to interfere with the Liverpool players, which was very hospitable.

However, when it comes to the pitch, Liverpool will naturally not receive a warm welcome, and the stadium boos of 20,000 people are no less than that of Barbera Stadium with more than 30,000 people.

Benitez never revealed Liverpool's starters, and the grapevine did not leak until the appearance at the Trapani Stadium, the fans who watched the game were stunned, and Klinsmann was also a little confused.

In this game, Liverpool's starting XI was 442:

Goalkeeper: Reina

Defender: Finnan Ageer Carrag Volnock

Midfielder: Pennant Sissoko, Alonso Orrelio

Forward: Bellami Kuyt

This lineup has made a lot of rotation, even the team's Gerrard did not play, and the main player on the front line, Crouch, did not play, this is a semi-substitute lineup, which is quite strange.

Such an important game, you Benitez actually treated it like this?! How can you not surprise the fans, the commentators in front of the TV, obediently, you are facing Trapani!

The fans didn't understand, but the commentators in the live broadcast room quickly understood how good Benitez was saying in his mouth, but this fucking made up his mind to ask for a point!

That's right, Benitez is just ready to ask for a point, Benitez is planning for Liverpool's overall situation, saying that Trapani's situation is bad, Benitez wants to say do you know that we are also bad.

At the end of last week, Benitez's team had just suffered a 3-0 defeat to city rivals Everton, and like Trapani, they did not get any good fruit after the national team break, and they lost to their city rivals at the same time, and Benitez's team was even worse, not even scoring a goal.

In the Premier League standings, they now have only 4 points in the first three rounds of games, one win, one draw and one loss, the first round of the draw is still promoted Sheffield United, the second round is only 2:1 small victory over West Ham United, the third round was immediately pierced by Everton three times, to say that Trapani's state is not good, there are more or less objective factors, Benitez's team is not in good shape, it is really not good.

They will face arch-rivals Chelsea this weekend, and the intensity of the Premier League has left Benitez to be worried, with a Champions League place not so easy to get, and Benitez has had to make some rotations that will leave everyone a little stunned.

Klinsmann is full of energy, the first round of the league cannot be lost, and the home of the Champions League is also not allowed to be lost, and Klinsmann, who does not have many fancy intestines in his belly, honestly sent the strongest lineup that Trapani can put together.

Goalkeeper: Kameni

Defender: McConn Barzalisa Muel Jankulovski

Midfielder: Pisamo, Cherano, Esimbalac

Forward: Vucinich Tony

Adriano was naturally thrown on the bench again, with Mascherano playing as a lone midfielder, Essien and Pizarro near the halfway line, and Ballack playing as a midfielder, which was Trapani's diamond-shaped position.

Klinsmann's change of formation was sudden for the players, but for the midfielders, there was nothing wrong with it, everyone who thought they were good enough to play was given a position, and they were in harmony!

Ballack got the position he wanted, he would have more freedom, he wouldn't be as aggrieved as he was in the first two games, he could choose to attack or drop back to help defend, and he was the happiest.

Klinsmann would not be happy if he chose to take a point each with Liverpool at home, and even if he saw that maybe Benitez was coming for a point, he would never let Benitez succeed.

So after the start of the game, Trapani after a short period of adaptation, firmly grasped the ball on the field, in the summer they had a friendly match with Liverpool, when Liverpool's midfield was more advantageous, but now a turn, Pizarro's appearance brought a big difference to the team, plus he and Essien, Mascherano tacit understanding, plus Ballack's help, it is not surprising that they occupy possession on the field.
