Benfica B were asked by Liverpool to mimic Tottenhams tactics in a friendly to help them prepare for the Champions League final.The Reds spent a week in Marbella to prepare for the final, which they won 2-0 in Madrid.The trip was used to keep fitness levels up and get used to the heat in Spain prior to the match.
Getty1Liverpool played Benfica's B team in Marbella before the Champions League final. Turns out it was more than just for fitness reasons, it was specific tactical preparation. I translated some quotes from Renato Paiva (Benfica B manager) who talked to newspaper ABola about it. pic.twitter.com/6aBnohwUwn— Tiago Estvo (@TiagoEstv) June 4, 2019We recreated two of their offensive and two of their defensive moments, as well as the set-pieces we thought theyd use in the final. We replicated their centre-back and goalkeeper build-up routines, their 4-2-3-1 defensive shape with the striker cutting between opposition centre-backs and the 10 obstructing Liverpools 6. Vinicius mimicked Eriksen, Bernardo acted more like Alli and Jose Gomes was Kane.We had to adapt to that 4-2-3-1 shape, both defensively and in possession, with two midfielders dropping close to the centre-backs during build-up to try and attract Liverpools press. “Tottenham would ideally want to attract Liverpool players closer to their box, so after a couple of passes between centre-backs and goalkeeper they can then attack the space in behind with their forwards and full-backs.Dean Saunders in disbelief over Liverpools penalty on Champions League final We ended up just making slight tweaks to our regular system. A midfield triangle with Alli moving closer to the opposition centre-back (with Kane next to the other), Eriksen moving inwards to draw the full-back in while Trippier covers the wide space. Much like with Son and Rose on the left.Klopp complimented us – When you dropped your centre-backs to build-up we immediately set up the same press we used against Manchester City and you still managed to surpass it three or four times!
