A good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team.

There is nothing wrong with that.

On the football field, goalkeepers are always the most special type of people, they are the only 22 people who can use their hands, but their power to use their hands is limited to the big penalty area.

Sometimes, Yang Cheng feels that the football game is like playing chess, before the opening, the two sides of the Chu River and Han are clearly distinguished, the forward, the winger, and the forward waist are like carts and horses, and they enter the opponent's camp, and the soldier is like the central defender, and the goalkeeper is the goalkeeper, which is the team's most important level.

It's purely personal, but it's not hard to see the importance of goalkeepers from this point.

Looking at the two teams he has coached before, Kaiserslautern and Inter Milan, Reynke is not the best, but he is decent, with the steadiness and perseverance of a German player, and Buffon is the first god of the day, and his strength is undoubted.

But at Liverpool, Dudek really isn't a goalkeeper to be reassured.

The reason for this is that he is not consistent and makes a lot of mistakes, such as the one against Manchester City.

This time, Yang Cheng really moved the idea of replacing the main goalkeeper.

After knocking and knocking on the door, Di Palma walked into Yang Cheng's office.

"Sit, Vincenzo!" Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Di Palma sat down across from him and laughed when he heard the Chinese sigh.

"What do you think of Reina?" Yang Cheng asked straight to the point.

Di Palma nodded, "The pros and cons are equally obvious. ”

Yang Cheng smiled, he was not afraid of this, as he had always said, everyone has shortcomings, and a good tactic is to bring out the strengths of this player and cover up his shortcomings.

"The reaction is fast, the speed and physical fitness are good, the height of 1.90 meters is a piece of goalkeeper's material!" After a pause, Di Palma raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "At least it was not for nothing that Barcelona was optimistic about him back then." ”

Yang Cheng shook his head, as if he was under his influence, and this group of guys is now accustomed to making fun of Barcelona in their daily lives.

It's not his fault!

"Getting to the point!" Yang Cheng scolded with a smile.

'The anticipation of where the high ball and the cross will fall is not accurate enough, it is prone to mistakes, from his performances in the reserve team and in a few cup games, I think he is not used to the fast pace of the Premier League for the time being, you know, La Liga is generally slow and easy to get rid of, but I believe that with the accumulation of experience and the adaptation to the Premier League, he will change that!"

Yang Cheng frowned when he heard this, the biggest difference between the Premier League and La Liga, in addition to the style of play, there is also a very important reason, that is, the Premier League has a humid climate all year round, the ball is wet and slippery, and the ball speed is fast, which is a great test for the goalkeeper.

"Not happy with Dudek?" Di Palma asked.

Yang Cheng nodded, "He's made too many mistakes this season. ”

"For a 30-year-old goalkeeper, it should have been the best age of his career, which is why Yang Cheng came to Liverpool, although he introduced Reina, but did not directly win Dudek, he hoped to give Dudek some opportunities, but now, even Di Palma feels inappropriate."

"Reina is only 21 years old, and there will definitely be some ups and downs in performance!" Di Palma analyses the risks of changing the main goalkeeper.

"You said that the older goalkeepers are more composed, smarter, more experienced, more able to concentrate on the younger goalkeepers and more willing to work hard to improve their quality." Yang Cheng snatched him up.

Di Palma smiled and nodded, "At present, our defense line is moving forward, and the requirements for the goalkeeper are not the kind of stay on the goal line, but more about the goalkeeper to expand the defensive area and attack protection, blocking this gap behind the central defender, Reina is fast and reacting, I think he is more suitable than Dudek." ”

The defense of modern football pays attention to compressing space, freezing every inch of the critical area of the side that may be used by the opponent to attack, and Liverpool's goalkeeper problem this season, in fact, there is also a gap between Dudek and the central defender after Yang Cheng pushed the defense forward.

"How's his sense of position?" Yang Cheng asked with concern.

Di Palma laughed, he found that Yang Cheng was really willing to learn everything, at least he could ask this question, which proved that he knew a lot about the position of goalkeeper.

A lot of people think that only players in other positions need positional sense, but they don't.

The goalkeeper of a top team often does not have many saves in a game, and they do not need to make so many saves, because in this way, it is a problem of the defensive line, so many people will find a very strange question when watching the ball, why do the opponent's passes and shots fly in the direction of the goalkeeper? ,

That's what the commentator said, the angle is not good, or it is too right!

Is that actually the case?

No, that's because the goalkeeper's position is well chosen, and he can stand according to the loopholes in the defense line for the first time, and appear behind the loopholes in time to fill in the holes.

And that's where a sense of location comes in!

It can even be said that if a goalkeeper makes a very good save all day, regardless of the defensive factor, it is because he has a bad sense of position and can't pick the best position, so he has to make a save.

"Good!" Di Palma laughed.

It is not difficult to see his appreciation for Reina from Di Palma's mouth, and Buffon's sense of position is only good, which shows his appreciation for Reina's position.

"But he has a problem, that is, there are some problems in judging the trajectory of the ball in the air, which is not obvious, but it will also have an impact, such as the judgment of the landing point of the cross, the prediction of the overhead ball and so on."

"Is there a way to fix it?" Yang Cheng asked.

Di Palma nodded, "It takes time!" ”

"Okay, you go and tell Reina that he doesn't have to go to the FA Cup, stay in Melwood." Yang Cheng confessed.

Di Palma nodded, which means that Yang Cheng has made up his mind to replace Dudek with Reina in the game against Chelsea, after all, the performance of the Pole is really unconvincing, especially against a team like Liverpool that aims to win the title.

Of course, now the entire Premier League is lacking goalkeepers, Manchester United's Howard introduced this season is okay, but there are also many shortcomings, Arsenal's Lehmann is not stable enough, Chelsea's Cudicini is not reassuring, in short, the Premier League lacks goals!

Leaving Yang Cheng's office, Di Palma walked to the instrument room.

He arranged for Reyna to train himself in the equipment room, because Reina's speed no longer needs to improve, in the end, it is a player from Spain, the speed and ball control skills are good, Reina needs some strength training.

"Jose!" Di Palma walked in.

"Vincenzo!" Reyna greeted him, but he was sitting on a machine that worked on arm strength and chest muscles.

"You don't have to go to Sunday's game!" Di Palma said.

When Reina heard this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and got up from his seat, but accidentally touched the iron arm above his head and made a bang, startling Di Palma.

"What are you doing?" Di Palma immediately walked over, this is the main goalkeeper handpicked by Yang Cheng, if he is out of action because of such an injury, I don't know how Yang Cheng will cut Di Palma.

Reina rubbed his bald head, "Why?" Didn't I say that I was the only one to play the cups? 'It seems that the Spaniard is very anxious, he came to Liverpool to improve himself, not to be a bench.

"I know!" Di Palma looked at his bald head and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he was relieved, "Originally, I wanted you to play the cup, but just now the boss said that Kirkland should play ......"

The Italian deliberately hid the following words, and saw the disappointment on Reina's face.

"You're going to London with the team on Thursday!"

The disappointment turned into a surprise, even disbelief.

"Lun...... Honest? ”

Reyna is not a stupid man, of course he knows, and he is specifically asked not to play in the cup, and at the same time to let him go to London, just to play for him, because although the goalkeeper is a position that does not require much physical energy, it requires concentration and hard work.

"Boy, the boss asked you a lot of things just now, if nothing else, you want it, but don't be too happy!"

Reina immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.

"The boss is very lenient with the player, but he is also very demanding, and if you want to convince him to play in the main team, you have to show your strength, do you know Buffon? He was also cultivated by his boss at the age of 21, and now he is the main goalkeeper of Inter Milan and the world's No. 1 goalkeeper. ”

"Take advantage of your chance, boy, don't let us down!" Di Palma smiled and encouraged.

After leaving the equipment room, Di Palma can imagine that Reina must be energetic and smiling, young people are so motivated, especially as a manager, every time he sees a young player like this, he will feel relieved and feel old at the same time. ,

But soon, he frowned again, because he was about to face Dudek.

A 30-year-old goalkeeper who was supposed to be in the prime of his career, and now you have to tell him, man, you've been replaced by a 21-year-old teammate, and sit on the bench for the next game!

Is it cruel?

It's really cruel, especially the moment you tell him to your face!

But that's what professional football is!

…………

In the FA Cup game, Liverpool played as much as possible on the bench, and even arranged the team's main lineup outside the squad, but Yang Cheng originally wanted Baros to find his form, but the Czech striker never opened.

On the contrary, it was Kuyt, a diligent striker who is good at running, but he scored 3 goals in the absence of Baroshe, and it was really too weak for Swansea, and finally Liverpool won Swansea 4:1 away and successfully advanced to the next round.

But the hapless Chelsea were not so lucky.

Their opponents were Watford, who were lower in League One, while Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by the visitors, and the two goals conceded were almost identical, both with headers.

"After John Terry was sidelined due to injury, the combination of Gallas and Desailly has always had the problem of poor air defense, and this game even conceded two headers in one go, which makes people have to pay attention to it!"

Yang Cheng's words made the coaching staff agree with them, because Liverpool has a monster Drogba in front of him, who is precisely a guy with very good header ability, and using him to suppress Chelsea's defense, isn't it a very cool and enjoyable thing?

'But after Duff didn't play in this game, Glen Schal also showed a lot of attacking ability on the right flank, and Mutu has not been very good at Chelsea, so we have to guard against him. Paul Beyer reminded.

Benitez feels that Liverpool should be pressed out to play this game.

"When Terry was there, Chelsea's defense was still problematic, whether it was the defense on the wing or in the middle, after we were blown up in the first round, Ranieri found the excuse that the cooperation was not tacit enough, and then in order to fill the gap in the back line, he began to change the formation of 4312, giving up the attack on the two wings and playing two strikers instead, it is obvious that he is not at ease at the back!"

After a pause, Benitez smiled: "After Terry's injury, Desailly and Gallas formed a double central defender, there are still a lot of problems, I think we can use Drogba to suppress the opponent's central defender, and actively open up the two wings, I estimate, Ranieri still has a big shadow on our wing!" ”

As soon as Benitez said this, everyone immediately remembered the first round of the league, when Chelsea was blown out by Liverpool, and Ranieri almost became the Premier League manager who was sacked in the first round.

Paul Beyer nodded in agreement, "According to Ranieri's recent appointments, he likes Crespo to partner Duff, the three midfielders are Makelele, Lampard and Veron, the front is Joe Cole, and the wings are still Barbayaro and Bridge, there is not much change!" ”
