Real Madrid's current squad is lame. Real Madrid doesn't even have a regular midfielder, and the midfielder points to Beckham to protect it, which is complete nonsense. And it's not that Real Madrid doesn't really have a midfielder, but that a midfielder can't play. After all, now Real Madrid's frontcourt is in addition to Cristiano. Ronaldo, a junior, can be taken down, but no other player can take it. David Beckham is a right-back and while he has great running ability, it's not his defensive ability that makes him famous. It's his excellent passing ability.

Therefore, when Liverpool adapted to Real Madrid's attack, Liverpool immediately began to counterattack. Real Madrid's attack power in the front field is strong, but unfortunately any attack should have a foundation. Especially as modern football pays more and more attention to the position of the midfielder, the importance of the midfield is increasing. Unfortunately, Beckham is not a competent midfielder.

Of course, Beckham does have some potential at the back. For example, he has a wide field of vision and accurate passing. And he spares no physical strength, running a lot, even stronger than those players from the back, running more than 12,000 kilometers in a game with ease. However, none of these things can hide one of Beckham's shortcomings, that is, he does not have the awareness of a midfielder, that is, the awareness of defence.

He can run, he can grab, he can pass the ball well, he has good vision, but his positional sense is not good. After all, he didn't come from a midfielder, and he had a poor sense of position. If he had learned how to play at the back since he was a child, it would probably have developed defensive awareness. It's a pity that Beckham is now twenty-nine years old and plays as a midfielder for the first time. And this was exploited by Benitez.

"Carlos, give the ball to Zidane. Zinedine Zidane and Raul combined. The ball was taken by Gilberto. Silva was broken. ”

There is actually some confusion in the front of Real Madrid. Cristiano. Ronaldo is very lonely and doesn't like to pass the ball very much. Raul, on the other hand, always retreated, thus clashing with Zidane's position. Ronaldo, on the other hand, stood up front and waited for someone to pass the ball to him. This time too, Zidane and Raul wanted to play a pass and cut in a small space, but Gilberto was defeated. Silva interrupted the ball from the ground.

"Gilberto. Silva handed the ball to Alonso, who played a long pass to Luiz. Garcia. Louis. Garcia, cross! ”

The Spanish player Jishu is really far better than the English homegrown player, Luis. The same goes for Garcia, a player who grew up in La Masia. Alonso's pass is good, Luis. Garcia's ball stopped beautifully, too. Louis. Garcia easily stopped the ball and then fired a cross before Carlos defended.

"Jankoller. Pushed the ball out. ”

Jan Kohler is already thirty-one years old. However, Jankoller has played until he is 36 years old in history, and he has maintained his form very well. Now thirty-one, Jankoller is still in his prime. And defending Jankole is the 1.88 meter Real Madrid academy youngster Pavon. Compared to his own strength, Pavon's fame is too great. Because Florentino's famous "Zidane + Pavon" policy can be said to be resounding shijie football.

Of course, Pavon is still very capable. Players who don't have the quality can't make it through the Real Madrid academy. It's a pity that Real Madrid is completely pulling out the seedlings for him. In the face of the experienced Jankoller is at an absolute disadvantage. Jankohler easily overpowered Pavon. Because the cross was a little far from the goal. So Jankoller didn't have a direct header on goal. Instead, he pushed the ball out. It was handed to Gerald, who was plugged in the back.

"Gerrard, shoot!"

That's when Beckham's problem comes in. If Real Madrid's midfielder is Makelele, then there must be Makelele's protection at this point. But David Beckham is different. He can run and grab, but unfortunately his sense of position is too poor. There is no idea how to protect the area at the edge of the exclusion zone. This time Jankoller headed the ball out, but Beckham was not in his position.

Beckham didn't come to protect the edge of the box, but kept running with Gerrard, but he was Gerrard's opponent. Beckham has good stamina, but his speed is average. And explosiveness and sheer speed are simply not comparable to Gerrard. So the two men ran together, with Beckham completely behind Gerrard. Gerrard is explosive and fast, and within a few steps he was already near the point where the ball landed. There is no one's defense, no one's interference, and in the face of the incoming ball, it is directly a volley.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！！！！！！！！！！！！！！”

"One to zero, one to zero. Gerrard, Gerrard openers. Liverpool lead Real Madrid 1-0. Since becoming captain of the club this season, Steven Gerrard has gone from strength to strength and has become the most relied upon player under Coach Rafael Benitez. It was already Gerrard's fourteenth goal for Liverpool this season. ”

"Good, good, good."

Rist was overjoyed. This season is a dark horse season, but it is true that several giants have big problems. And playing this kind of cup Benitez is a strongman, just right for a season like this. Rafael Benitez has not had a good season in the league, and if he doesn't have any results this season, maybe Liverpool will have to change managers.

"You'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone!"

Gerrard scored and the entire Anfield stadium erupted in huge cheers. All the players were there to congratulate Steven Gerrard. But everyone was happy, only one had a gloomy face.

"Rob, is Real Madrid really in contact with the company?"

"Yes."

It was Holmes who was questioned, that is, Holmes, Irving's agent. Arguably the one who is most unhappy when it comes to scoring goals for Liverpool at the moment, Holmes is the one who is the most unhappy.

After the departure of Fowler, Redknapp, McManaman and their generation, Liverpool's first star is Owen, not to mention Liverpool's first star, but the best in England is Beckham and Owen. Owen is the flag of Liverpool, and Owen has a pivotal position in Liverpool.

But since Benitez arrived at Liverpool, Owen's status has gradually declined. It wasn't until this season that Benitez appointed Steven Gerrard as Liverpool's captain. And in Liverpool's tactical system, Gerrard's position is becoming more and more important. Instead, Owen went from Liverpool's No. 1 striker to now just a chicken rib. Benitez didn't belittle Owen, after all, Owen's strength is there. But Irving can only play the winger position now, which is completely different from when he was alone in front of him.

As Steven Gerrard's status has risen, Owen's status at Liverpool has plummeted. This made Holmes quite unsatisfied. When Owen was born, Holmes was a great player in English football. Holmes was at his most imposing when he held Beckham and Irving. At that time, even Stretford had to smile against Holmes.

Unfortunately, with the marriage of Beckham and Victoria, Beckham gradually became independent. Beckham left Holmes, leaving Holmes without a cornucopia. But it's good to have an Owen, after all, Owen is also a European Ballon d'Or winner. Unfortunately, Owen's current status at Liverpool is plummeting. How could Holmes be pleased.

"Rob. What do you mean? ”

The man sitting with Holmes was no ordinary man. Rob is the vice president of Holmes' SFX Sports Marketing Company, the company's third-in-command. SFX was developed in the United States, and Rob was in charge of the development of European football after entering the football world. It is also because of his efforts that big names such as Beckham and Owen have joined SFX. It's just that Beckham has broken away from the company. Therefore, at the moment, the most famous company in SFX football is Owen.

They take Owen very seriously. For the recent decline in Owen's status at Liverpool. They are very concerned.

"I think you can think about it."

Rob is a big part of SFX though. But here in Holmes there is no point in point-holding. Because they were just a partnership, Holmes wasn't a former employee of SFX, he brought Owen to the company. Before coming to SFX. Holmes is already a well-known agent in England. So Rob could only make a proposal to Holmes.

"I see."

Holmes grimaced. He has always wanted to train Owen to be the first player in English football, but he didn't expect that after the damned Rist and Benitez came to Liverpool, they would dare to marginalize Owen. Holmes couldn't help but even look at Marshall, not far away.

Marshall and Holmes are both partners of SFX, but their current position at Liverpool is completely different. Marshall has gradually replaced Holmes at Liverpool with the rise of Steven Gerrard, and his relationship with Rist is getting better and better. What angered Holmes the most was that Marshall didn't care about the years of cooperation between the two and didn't help Irving at all. Marshall, who was his younger brother in Liverpool back then, is now on an equal footing with him, which makes Holmes even more dissatisfied. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Holmes had some other ideas. There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here.

Some people are happy and some are worried, but the game has no effort to care about the thoughts of the people above. Real Madrid's midfielder, the defensive goal of the midfield, was caught by Rafael Benitez. Benitez is a master tactician, how can he give up after he has caught your way. To seize it is to fight to the death, and it does not give Real Madrid any chance to react at all.

Gerald and Harvey. Alonso and the two men took turns to come forward in order to encircle Beckham. Beckham's average ability to control the ball in the midfield position is infinitely magnified. When it comes to possession, Beckham is far inferior to Liverpool's Gilberto. Silva and Xavi. Alonso two people. Although Gilberto is a defensive player, he is a Brazilian player after all, and his feet are not gorgeous, but his ability to control the ball is still very good. And Harvey. The same goes for Alonso, who is the most basic ability to keep the ball in possession as a Spanish player.

Compared to them, David Beckham is much worse in this regard. At the beginning, he didn't have much of a problem playing right midfield, but now he plays in the midfield position, and if he has poor ball control, he can't be the core of a team. But in order to let Real Madrid's superstars play, Queiroz can only let Beckham play in the midfield position. Therefore, he was continuously attacked by Gerrard and Alonso, and soon the midfield was completely passive.

'Beckham got the ball and Alonso came up. Beckham was in a hurry and Gerrard broke the ball. ”

Gerrard was fast and explosive, and in a few clicks he got to Beckham and then broke the ball at Beckham's feet.

"Gerrard, pass!"

"Owen, Owen got the ball. Owen is fast, Owen shoots! ”

Gerrard broke off Beckham's ball and played it down the left without any stopping. In this game, Benitez chose Owen on the left and Luis on the right. Garcia's combination. Although Owen is not very happy with Benitez's arrangement, he is still the most dangerous one in the winger position.

After receiving Gerrard's pass, Owen was so fast that Salgado couldn't stop it at all. Owen didn't get into the box, but just broke through to the edge of the box and shot straight at home.
