Football God.

In the impression of many people, Leeds United is an extremely luxurious midfield team.

They have Kaka, the World Footballer of the Year, Sneijder, an excellent midfield engine, and Guti, who is rejuvenated in his second spring, and several young players are playing better and better.

With such a luxurious top midfielder, any other team can afford the core position.

But Heinrich has the ability to put them together on the field, enclose the midfield airtight, pass and control if he wants to, and counterattack if he wants to counterattack.

It is probably the luxury of the midfielders that makes many people ignore the strength Leeds United has invested in the backcourt.

The original young players Jack and Diego, as well as the newly joined Mertesacker, have been getting better and better since this season.

The two outstanding players purchased by the team, Makelele and Cannavaro, have used their excellent experience to fill in the gaps for the club and become the most effective barrier in front of goalkeeper Schmeichel.

Even though Koscielny will return to Arsenal next season, for Heinrich, he is his own player and has an obligation to play for Leeds United.

The result of such a central and backcourt is that the backcourt players must also accept frequent rotations. Whether it is a central defender or a midfielder, they all face great competitive pressure.

Even sometimes, frontcourt wingers like Griezmann and Santos will come back to play in the defensive counterattack formation.

The rotation and collocation of midfielders are different, so it is difficult for other head coaches to guess the lineup that Leeds United needs to use.

But this time, Heinrich did not make a fuss in the midfield. Instead, in the backcourt, Heinrich directly deployed five defenders, as if to let Schmeichel lie down and pass the game.

Five defenders lined up in the backcourt will form a steel-like barrier.

But we all know that Inter Milan fell behind by one goal in the first game. If they want to advance, they must score at least three goals at Leeds United's home court.

Benitez is a head coach who doesn't like to speculate on people's hearts, and is very bad at it.

But according to common sense, a team will try its best to let the team's offensive gradually rise at its own home court, even if it is to please the fans.

The results of it?

In the end, Leeds United was able to go all out, and they didn't even want to face. They surrounded a bus... no, it was an iron barrel formation to deal with themselves.

Two days ago, Benitez might not have understood what he was thinking.

But now, it is difficult for Benitez not to associate this behavior with revenge.

Even he can guess what Heinrich is thinking now in his mind.

You robbed me and contacted you secretly, I won't pursue it, but don't prevent me from taking revenge on you!

Don't you want to score?Then I will build a wall for you before going out, and see if it is my wall or your ball that is hard!

Benitez was a little helpless. Until the press conference, Benitez felt that Heinrich would not have a good face towards him.

Changing places, if someone comes to contact your players before the focus game, it is normal to be unhappy.

But when the press conference started, Benitez saw the smiling Heinrich, and he was a little confused.

"I'm late, sorry." Benitez whispered to Heinrich.

Heinrich always smiled gently, as usual: "It doesn't matter, as the home team, I should arrive earlier."

If it was another head coach, seeing Heinrich brushing it off like this, he would not mention it again.

But Benitez is different, he is a very upright person, whether on or off the court, this temper will not change.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to find Heinrich as soon as he thought of renting Parker.

Instead of waiting until the game is over.

So now, Benitez also directly lowered his voice, and said to the coach beside him: "If it's about Parker, I'm sorry, but I can guarantee that after he arrives at Inter Milan, he will have a stable playing time. , I will not rent him for nothing."

Regarding this, Heinrich is still confident: "I believe in you, Mr. Benitez, because you value it. I also hope that Parker will have a better chance to play. Don't worry, this matter will not affect us. friendship between

Since Benitez said that he wants to rent Parker, it proves that he needs Parker, so he has every reason to let Parker play.

It's like Benitez is a little confused. Since it won't affect the friendship, why is this person so strange? Why is the iron barrel formation?

In the next second, Heinrich said: "It won't be affected in the future, but this time, it's better for us to be more pragmatic."

……Oh.

Benitez glanced at him, well, this person is still angry, but in a different way.

But Benitez can't say anything, after all, Leeds United is the leading side, and it is only natural that they want to keep the fruits of victory.

After the press conference started, the reporters had no meaning for the starting lineups for both sides. After all, in their view, Leeds United entered the Champions League for the first time. This knockout game is very important to them, so be conservative. It is also normal.

During the press conference, the attitudes of the head coaches on both sides were also extremely kind, without anger at all.

What Heinrich said unexpectedly didn't have any deep meaning, just like what he himself said, he didn't seem to be very angry because of this incident.

The pre-match war of words that used to happen has completely disappeared now.

Even Benitez has an illusion that Heinrich has a good temper.

Mendes, who was just watching the live broadcast, knew that everything was an illusion.

Otherwise, why would my advertising contract be yellow!

Money, just flew away secretly!

By the time the game started, Heinrich made the same demands on all the players as the pre-match deployment.

What has changed in this game is the team's defensive ability.

Some of the previous games were for training the midfield, and some were for training the frontcourt, so this game is a test of the defense.

For this decision, Schmeichel is naturally in favor of it.

The game of training defense is the game of welfare goalkeeper!

In the previous games, I saw your assists, assists, and goals. Only Schmeichel, a top goalkeeper, was bombarded by opponents in front of the goal...

Schmeichel also admitted that perhaps it was the premise of being abandoned by the whole team that allowed Schmeichel to develop his current excellent skills.

But the blood and tears in it are only known to the parties themselves.

Well now, the whole team is serving himself alone, and Schmeichel decided to treat this game as a holiday!

What was Christmas before!

Today is his holiday!

"The ultimate goal of this game is that you can put our goalkeeper on a recliner and lie in front of the goal without worrying about the goal being broken!" Heinrich's words are firmly in place. In Schmeichel's head, "Then, even if it is a draw, I will give you the winning bonus."

Heinrich's words are indeed an inspiration to the team.

Of course, more of an incentive for Schmeichel.

But in addition to this, it also made the players in the team understand that defense may become the main theme of this game.

In the past, Heinrich believed in "offense is defense". In fact, although the media, including celebrities, are bragging how difficult Inter Milan is, it seems from the last game that Inter Milan's offensive point is Eto'o here.

As long as he is locked in, it is entirely possible for Leeds United to expand the score and even kill the game.

But Heinrich took this game as a defensive exercise.

Benitez thought he was annoyed, Schmeichel thought it was a holiday, but everyone else didn't think so.

Kaka stared at his head coach, a little unsure whether he valued Inter Milan or simply regarded this game as an offensive and defensive drill.

After all, even against Real Madrid and Manchester United, Leeds United never defended.

But in the end, Kaka didn't say anything, and decided to implement the head coach's thinking.

It's also good to practice defense.

After the start of the game, Leeds United did their defense diligently.

The five generals in the defense lined up, and Kaka and Sneijder retreated appropriately in the midfield.

As for Lewandowski, Griezmann, and Santos in the frontcourt, the two wingers have speed, and Lewandowski has the ability to grab points, but they still choose to retreat to the midfield.

Even Santos has turned on the full-court galloping mode, and he can be seen behind the opponent's penalty area and his own penalty area.

This situation is a bit confusing.

At the same time, it also made Benitez discover that the so-called defense of Leeds United is not the traditional defense.

Their defensive formation is very good, the defensive line is solid, the midfielder is well coordinated, and the frontcourt players also retreat appropriately to get the ball. These all have the necessary factors for a team with a bus formation.

However, Leeds United is not completely non-aggressive, especially the few fast players who always want to point their sharp knives at Inter Milan.

Especially when Benitez saw Leeds United defender Jack appearing in Inter Milan's penalty area, he suddenly understood why Heinrich did this.

Practice defense without completely giving up offense.

It is a defensive counterattack in the traditional sense, but Inter Milan can't guess which player from Leeds United will be the counterattack point!

If you put it on another team, you might give it a thumbs up, tactical genius, get out of class sooner or later!

But this is Leeds United, and their coach is Heinrich. When this man is calm, it seems that there is no problem to stop him.

Benitez didn't know where Heinrich's composure came from, but Heinrich suddenly turned his head and smiled faintly at him.

In his mouth, he whispered to Nedved who was standing beside him: "How do you think this game will develop?"

Nedved hesitated for a moment, but replied: "A draw."

Yes, a draw, everyone will have an idea at this time.

Leeds United focused on defense, while Inter Milan couldn't attack for a long time. A draw is the most normal result.

But Heinrich shook his head, his voice was light: "Football matches are not only about tactics, but also the control of the locker room and the relationship with the players. Both are indispensable."

Tactically, Heinrich doesn't think he is any better than Benitez, and even in many places, he is not as good as the tactician Benitez.

But what Heinrich can do is, when he forms a lineup that makes everyone feel like a joke, it can convince the players that they have deep meaning.

In fact, up to now, Heinrich doesn't quite understand why his players make himself a myth.

But now that he has reached this point, Heinrich will not let go of the opportunity.

"Our lads can believe in every word I say, and diligently implement what I tell you, but Inter Milan can't." Heinrich stood on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets, One word at a time, "Benitez will definitely let the players stretch as long as possible before the game, and don't attack rashly, otherwise it will easily expose their weaknesses. I just want to see how long they can last."

Nedved didn't understand what Heinrich meant, but 3 minutes later, when Griezmann dribbled the ball all the way into the opponent's hinterland but was unimpeded, Nedved suddenly looked at Heinrich.

This person is sure that Inter Milan's players will not completely obey Benitez's arrangements!

In fact, from the beginning, Inter Milan's offense was impressive, but as time went by, the players became anxious and their formations changed. While forming a siege, they couldn't stand their own formation, and Zhonghuazang was also a little confused.

Defensive lineup, luring the enemy deep, leaving the opponent's defense line empty, thus creating opportunities for counterattack...

Heinrich felt Nedved's gaze and knew that he understood what he meant, so he couldn't help but smiled and said, "It looks like the effect is good, doesn't it?"

Nedved couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, sir, you are really, too...too..."

Heinrich did not speak, but listened with a smile.

Too witty, or too smart?

Finally, Nedved thought of an adjective: "It's really cunning!"

Heinrich: ... I'll give you a chance to reorganize the language, look at your salary, think it over before I say it!
