526 Say goodbye to your youth!

Possession: 38%: 62%; Shots on goal: 5:17; Shot on target: 1:7; Corners: 1:9; Fouls: 25:13; Booked: 3:1; Successful steal: 26:18; Pass success rate: 71%: 79%.

If you look at the data alone, this is definitely a one-sided game, especially the home team in front, which did not create much effective threat at all, and the advantage of the number of successful tackles exposed their positive defence, but the difference between shooting chances and possession rate revealed the truth of their negative attack.

If you look at the numbers alone, the visitors should have won, even a big one, because they were really better in attack than the hosts, but in reality, the score was 0:0 and no one could get a bargain.

The Zebra fans at the Alp Stadium caused a huge disturbance to Yang Cheng throughout the stadium, and their overwhelming boos did not stop for a moment, even when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, they were still trying to make fun of him.

"It's a bizarre game because we can't believe that there are goals in this world that Liverpool can't break!" The on-site commentator said with regret that at least in this game, Liverpool really did their best, and the attack was well organized.

Carrick took turns to rest, and Yang Cheng arranged Davies, Arshavin and Gerrard in the midfield, which is a set of attacking midfielders who also created a lot of opportunities, but they just couldn't break Juventus' goal.

Ashvin did not enter empty; Robben was single-handedly pounced; Drogba's close-range shot from inside the six-yard box was blocked with his feet by an unbalanced goalkeeper; Later, the attack was stepped up, and Larson and Davis hit the post twice...... There were at least seven great chances to face the ball in goal, but the Liverpool players just couldn't get the ball in.

It's hard to imagine that this is the Liverpool team with the most attacking power in Europe this season!

Of course, Juventus' tight defensive approach in the midfield also played a big role in this situation.

'Fabio Capello still looks in a good mood, although he didn't win Liverpool at home, but at least he was tactically targeted in this game, and Liverpool did have some bad luck, maybe they should consider changing the post for something else in the future, just like in the Champions League final in 1961.

The on-site commentator teased Liverpool, although Liverpool's attacking football is good, but Juventus's defense is also not bad.

Isn't football tactics just about a hundred flowers blooming to look good?

In the 1961 Champions League final, Barcelona lost 2:3 to Benfica, Barcelona hit the post 4 times in the game, 1 must goal was rescued on the goal line, and he scored an own goal, which led to defeat, and after that game, UEFA changed the post from the original square to the current circle.

"Now this game seems to be a copy of the final of that year, the difference is that Liverpool's overall balance did not give Juventus a chance to turn the tables, but Abbiati's outstanding performance makes people have to sigh, he is indeed a top goalkeeper when he is magical, but why is he always so nervous?"

"Juventus' tactical success once again proves that Liverpool's attack is not invincible, that is, by choking Drogba and compressing the midfield, Liverpool's attack will be contained to the maximum, even if they play the role of the world's sharpest winger group, they still can't convert the advantage on the field into goals."

"And Yang Cheng's biggest failure in this game is to replace Carrick with Arshavin, which directly leads to Liverpool's attack emphasizing more on the middle, and this is precisely the focus of Juventus' defense!"

…………

…………

"I was wrong!"

After the referee blew the end of the game, Yang Cheng shook his head uncontrollably.

"If it weren't for Capello's counterattack and his lack of speed, we would have lost this game!"

Benitez and Paul? Bair glanced at each other and smiled wryly.

Yang Cheng is right, from the perspective of targeted tactics, Liverpool made a fatal mistake, that is, with Arshavin, the Russians must have strength, but they are not the kind of magician who can carve out space alone in a dense defense. …,

If Carrick is used, then Juventus's retraction will allow Liverpool to better control the midfield, at least Carrick's mid-length pass can accurately find the front trident, and Gerrard can also maximize the attack, then Juventus will die a miserable death.

The problem was that Carrick had a minor problem with his foot after playing in Birmingham and Yang Cheng accepted the advice of the laboratory to keep him at Liverpool in preparation for the weekend against Chelsea.

"There's no way around it!" Paul? Bayer patted Yang Cheng's shoulder comfortingly.

Benitez also smiled, "You should see that even if they are as strong as Chelsea, with such a large squad and so many stars, they still lose a 0:1 at Real Betis, and that's how football is the case." ”

Yang Cheng glanced at the two guys and smiled, "I'm not at the point where I need your comfort!" ”

All three laughed in unison.

The 0-0 draw away to Juventus is better than Chelsea.

As for the Champions League group stage two consecutive draws, because Villarreal also drew with Benfica, so at present Liverpool and Villarreal are both 2 points, but because Liverpool scored fewer goals, it fell to third, Juventus with 4 points to the top of the group.

In the stands of the Alp Stadium, there was a sudden shout, which was faint at first, but gradually, getting bigger and bigger.

"Knock over Anfield, kill Liverpool, and let Yang Cheng kneel at our feet!"

At first, this shout was just a coaxing of some fans, but when more and more fans joined in, they formed a momentum, and then swept the entire stadium, and countless Juventus fans stood up excitedly and roared at Yang Cheng in front of the coach's seat of the away team under the stadium.

This guy has given Juventus a terrible experience in his four years in Serie A, and now they want to give it all back to him and teach him a hard lesson.

"You've got a deep grudge with them!" Paul? Bayer laughed and teased.

Yang Cheng raised his head to look at the stands, simply raised his right hand, made a gesture of waving and greeting, and then matched it with a smile, which suddenly attracted another round of more violent storms.

Want revenge?

Come on!

…………

…………

'The only thing I'm not happy with this game is that we can't show our advantage with goals, but a draw away from home is also a good thing, it's still unknown who will advance, even if Juventus are now top of the group, but the group has only played two rounds, they need to do more if they want to stay first.'

"When we come back to the Stadium, we will be more motivated than we are now, because that is our territory, we will definitely perform better, and if Juventus still want to continue to use the tactics they have now, I dare say, they will die a terrible death!"

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng unceremoniously launched a provocation against Juventus.

Your fans are shouting directly in the stands that they are going to kill me, and if I still put up with it, isn't that more ambitious?

"Juventus still need to improve?" Capello smiled and shook his head, "No, I think we are in a good situation at the moment, we were able to control the score for 90 minutes very consistently, which proves our quality, of course, I believe that Liverpool will be more attacking when they return to home, but don't forget, Juventus' counter-attack is also not bad, and when the time comes, our attack will be more effective than it is now." ”

After hearing this, Yang Cheng laughed, "I really want to see Juventus attack, but I hope they don't shrink their heads anymore, and I believe that after last season's Champions League final, my players are obviously more confident, because we know that no matter how many goals we lose to Juventus, we will definitely be able to turn it around!" ”

Undoubtedly, this poked Capello's soft underbelly.

It's hard to say that confidence is a long process to build, but it may only take one game to destroy, so Capello didn't dare to play this game like he did in the Champions League final, a very important reason is that he knows that the players have no confidence in their hearts. …,

After leading by 3 goals and being reversed, how can you give them enough confidence when you meet the same opponent again?

It takes a process, after all, the manager is not a god!

…………

…………

When we returned to Liverpool from Turin, the whole of English football was shaking.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, England's four teams have rarely performed well in the Champions League, which suddenly set off a new round of reflection in the media, what is going on, and even some FA, former celebrities and other characters will jump out to criticize and criticize.

Yang Cheng has become accustomed to this situation, and after two years in England, he has long known the temper of these people.

As long as it can attract attention, the media will do it without hesitation, this is called professionalism!

The only difference is that they won't focus more on the outside of the pitch like the Italian media, they will focus more on the inside of the pitch.

Two consecutive draws in the Champions League away from home did not affect Yang Cheng's mood, to be honest, there are still 4 rounds, and he is very confident in qualifying.

So after arriving at Liverpool, Yang Cheng decided to let the players rest for an afternoon and resume training tomorrow to prepare for the do-or-die clash with Chelsea three days later.

It's not just about the three points, it's bigger and bigger, and if Liverpool lose, it will be a rare burst for Chelsea, who will win eight in a row, and at that point, the Blues are likely to be in a tight position and the Premier League title will be in doubt.

At least, in Yang Cheng's view, Mourinho is not the kind of unlucky guy who will casually capsize in the gutter.

Therefore, if they want to beat Chelsea, Liverpool will have to show real strength.

Just as Yang Cheng and his assistants were in the boot room discussing the match against Chelsea, Ronaldo suddenly returned to Liverpool.

…………

…………

Liverpool at the end of September was cool, with many people wearing long sleeves.

The two walked side by side on Melwood's tree-lined path, Yang Cheng casually asked about his father's death, and Xiao Xiaoluo replied seriously, his expression could no longer see the pain of losing his father, but his heart was ......

There is a saying that is true, time heals all wounds.

Since his father had died in England and needed to be airlifted back to his hometown of Madeira, where he would be buried according to their local Catholic customs, he delayed for some time.

Originally, Yang Cheng thought that he would return to the team after the national team game, but he didn't expect it to be advanced.

"Is everything okay at home?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Xiao Xiaoluo nodded, the 20-year-old seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden, "I decided to bring my family to Liverpool, including my sister and brother-in-law, and my brother, and of course, my mother is also coming." ”

"Then find a house near Liverpool." Yang Cheng proposed.

"Well, I've already met Mr. Gard, and he said he'd help me find one." After a pause, he smiled a little worriedly, "But I'm still worried that my family won't be able to adjust to life in Liverpool. ”

It's so humid that it rains all year round, and it's hard to see a single day of sunshine, and it will undoubtedly take a long time for Xiao Luo's family, who are used to living in the southern part of the continent, to get used to the weather here.

"Take your time!" Yang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

"Don't worry, Chief, as you said, I have to be strong!" Xiao Xiaoluo looked ahead, there were obviously tears in his eyes, but he stubbornly didn't let the tears fall, "At the beginning, my father was just an ordinary car mechanic, he supported our family with a meager salary, and now that he is gone, I should take this responsibility." ”

Yang Cheng nodded, "You should think like this, he has been watching you around you all the time, but you can't see him." ”

Xiao Xiaoluo raised his head, as if he wanted to find his father, but all he saw was a gray sky, without half a ray of sunshine, a little cold, and he couldn't feel the slightest warmth, which made him think of what his mother said to him a few days ago, which made him feel scared. …,

"My mother told me that one day, she would leave us siblings and would no longer be able to protect us, and we would never see her again, and she would go to join my father, and it scared me!" Xiao Xiao Luo shook his head, "Boss, why do people have to die?" ”

Yes, why do people have to die?

There was a time when Yang Cheng was also afraid of death, he was also young and afraid.

Sometimes at night, when I am alone, lying in bed, I can't sleep, because I'm afraid, I'm afraid that I'll fall asleep, and I can't wake up again.

But as he grew older and accumulated experience, he was no longer afraid.

"Some people say that life is a short and cruel trial, and only the brave and fearless strong can pass this trial and have a different, colorful and eternal life after death."

After a pause, Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of his father, who was about to be sixty, and his eyes were full of a strong family affection.

"Death is always the fairest for everyone, no one can live forever, there will always be some relatives who leave us and go to that unreachable place, we will never see each other again, but missing will be the best bridge for us to connect with each other, as if they will always be by our side."

Xiao Xiao Luo is only 20 years old, an ignorant age, if it weren't for the sudden loss of his father who brought him all this, it is estimated that he would not have thought of these in another ten years, but Yang Cheng is a traverser, to some extent, he died once.

In this regard, he thought a lot.

"We can't predict or prevent everything that happens or will happen to us, even if it's death, all we can do is to enjoy every minute of our limited and short life, enjoy this kind of living life, and enjoy everything that life brings."

Looking at these eyes full of tears, Yang Cheng read the support and confusion that a helpless child needs.

Suddenly he lost his father, he didn't know what to do, he really didn't know.

"If I were you, Cristiano," Yang Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky through the gap in the shade of the trees, "I will find a place where there is no one, well, even if I cry until the sky falls, I will vent all the emotions and grief in my heart, and even I will vent my thoughts about my deceased relatives in crying." ”

"When I'm done wiping away my tears and walking in front of everyone, I'll be strong and smiling!"

Yang Cheng spread out his hands and shook his head, "I know it's difficult, especially for you, a 20-year-old little ghost who has lived under the protection of his parents since he was a child, but you must remember one thing and remember it here!" ”

He pointed to Xiao Xiaoluo's heart, "From now on, you have no father, you have to replace your father and bear the burden of your family, your younger brothers are still young, you need to take care of them and your mother's life, so you can't be sad, you can't be sad, you can't fall, because you have to replace your father and become the pillar of this family!" ”

sighed, "Say goodbye to your unscrupulous youth, from now on, you will live like a man!" ”

After speaking, Yang Cheng turned around and left.

Xiao Xiaoluo was alone, stunned in place, looking at Yang Cheng's back, his tears were a little blurred, which made him have a sense of overlapping this back with the back of his father that he had just lost.

Once upon a time, his father had said a lot of similar things to him, but at that time, he didn't take these things to heart at all, but now, he didn't want to continue like this, and he couldn't continue to do this!

"The boss is right, I should say goodbye to my youth!"

Raising his head, tears welled up from his eyes and slid down his cheeks on either side.

"Don't worry, if you leave, I will definitely take care of this family in your place, and I will protect our family as you protect me, so that they will not be treated at all."

"Go in peace, my father!" ）
