Football’s First Defender

Chapter 633: Surprises

   A change in tactics cannot be accomplished overnight.

   After all, professional football in reality, unlike FM or fifa games, players can play the desired game effect after randomly deploying the formation.

Players are not a data model in the game. They change in a position and want to ensure that they can perform the best in the game, run and intersperse in place, not just adjust, they can complete the adjustment immediately, they need Put a lot of practice time off the court to complete some tacit training in simple situations and know the general tactical ideas.

Even if the players in the Liverpool team have sufficient professional experience and the ability to quickly accept new tactics, in fact, if you want to complete a major adjustment of the overall tactics and play a better team effect than today, it still needs A lot of training to make constant corrections.

For Klopp, although I really want to see Yang Feng's performance in the midfielder position, in the expected time, the new tactics will be from the layout on the drawings, to the familiarity of the players in daily training, and then to the success afterwards. It may be difficult to make a trip without a month or two.

   During this period of time, of course, Liverpool can only rely on the original tactics and continue to fight.

In the English League Cup in the middle of the week, Klopp faced the English second team Carlisle United, and did not even send a substitute player. It was relying on the youth team of Liverpool. After a fierce battle at Anfield, 2-1 A small victory over the opponent, complete the promotion.

In multi-line combat, players who are suitable for Klopp’s own tactical system are already stretched. Klopp will not waste the players’ physical fitness in some "insignificant" cup matches. He must master the important players of the team. Our physical reserves keep for the Premier League and the Champions League.

The British League Cup, a small domestic cup, is far less important than the Champions League in the eyes of Klopp. Before entering the quarterfinals, Klopp will at most send some substitutes to play, which will not cost the spirit and physical fitness of the main players. .

In his first season in office, Klopp had a very clear plan for the team’s season goals. Even if the team is now constructed, it may be difficult to defend the Champions League, but to ensure that the group will qualify, reach the Champions League knockout stage, and gain more More bonuses and exposure are also Klopp's goals.

   In the league, Liverpool’s primary goal is to retain the top four seats and strive for a better ranking.

   Although Liverpool’s record fell to the middle and lower reaches of the league due to the poor record at the beginning of the season, after all, there were not a few rounds at the beginning of the league. For the long season, more than ten points are not impossible to recover.

   However, for Klopp, in order to accomplish these two goals, what needs to be done most is to stabilize the situation in the Champions League.

   In these few days before Rogers dismissed get out of class and Klopp took over, Liverpool just completed the first game of the season in the Champions League, but lost 1-2 away to Eredivisie giants Eindhoven.

In Eindhoven, Wolfsburg and CSKA Moscow, these three teams are all powerful party players. In the case of competing for the right to qualify, Liverpool, which has already lost one game, must pay more attention to the rest afterwards. Only by winning the game can you master the initiative to advance.

   It is another league round, still at Anfield, facing the thrilling relegation of last season, this season also dangling Aston Villa near the relegation zone, Liverpool fought against their opponents at home.

Klopp’s original intention was to believe that the team’s hard power must have an absolute advantage when facing opponents of Aston Villa’s level. Then rely on the team’s better offense and excellent frontcourt press. It should be possible to win at home.

   Klopp even intends that if the team gets a two-goal or three-goal lead early, they can also replace a few of the main players to prepare for the second Champions League group match in midweek.

   As a result, Aston Villa once again proved that the Premier League has no underdogs in this game.

   On the off-site scene against Liverpool, Villa put up a 4321 formation. Although the team is still mainly defensive, there is definitely a lot of investment on the offensive end.

   The three frontcourt players will be the core of Villa’s counterattack. Together, they will give Liverpool a fatal blow.

   In this game, Liverpool continued its offensive strategy of wing-based.

Relying on the rapid impact of the two full-backs to drive the team's overall offensive forward pressure, and relying on high-position presses to counterattacks and exert pressure on the opponents. You can also use the frontcourt to transform the ball to hit the opponent on the spot. Counterattack and create threats.

   On the offensive end, the strength of their own team, coupled with the added momentum of the home court, Liverpool has an absolute advantage from the beginning of the game.

  Fermino has become more and more adaptable in the position of center. When to retreat and when to advance, Firmino has become better and better as he gets familiar with his teammates.

   Liverpool’s first goal was an assist from Firmino.

   Within ten minutes of the start of the game, Liverpool had already completed two consecutive shots.

  Although Aston Villa is in the opening game, it has enough physical support to complete a wide range of runs to limit Liverpool's attack.

   But Coutinho's personal breakthrough was in the opening stage, showing great power.

   This time it was Coutinho's dribbling breakthrough on the left, tearing open Aston Villa's defense.

Coutinho, who received a pass from Henderson on the left, showed his good ability to combine the ball with his feet. Facing the opponent's defense, Coutinho took the ball to the left and broke through, but he immediately smashed the ball. Even if the opponent's center of gravity is just shifted a little, Coutinho is allowed to use speed and flexibility to go directly to the right to complete the pass.

   Coutinho's lateral movement was immediately intercepted by the two Aston Villas.

   As for the absolute core of Liverpool's offensive in the front field, Aston Villa's marking of Coutinho is still quite comprehensive.

   This is also a counterpoint defender. Even though he knows that Coutinho may be a fake move, he still defends to the side.

  Because the coach gave himself the task of restricting Coutinho's play on the wing, and when Coutinho moved to the center, other teammates made up for himself.

   It's just that the two Aston Villa players immediately counted the players chasing behind Coutinho's side, and the three of them joined together, but they were still half a beat.

   Seeing that the opponent's encirclement was about to be formed, Coutinho did not hesitate to take the ball directly and found the open space at the arc of the penalty area.

   There were no Liverpool players before, so the defensive players in that area came directly to grab Coutinho.

   But at this time, there was already a red figure, running to the empty spot that was leaked out at this moment.

   "Firmino!"

   "Received Coutinho's pass"

   "Kump the ball on the heel!"

   "Follow up Milner!"

"beated!"

   "GOAL!!!"

   "Milner! First record for Liverpool!"

   "Liverpool players are celebrating their first goal of the game."

"Slow motion back to the defense, Coutinho continued to show his excellent breakthrough ability this time, first swaying the defender's center of gravity on the wing, then immediately drove the ball to the center, and then faced the two of Villa. To grab, Coutinho made a penetrating pass, wiping the defender's feet from the front, and accurately found the ball at the feet of Firmino who suddenly retreated outside the penalty area."

"While the Villa defender keeps following and Firmino does not take advantage of the physical confrontation, he swiftly chooses to keep the ball and knocks his heel. It does not give the Villa defender behind him a chance of defensive destruction. ."

"Firmino knocked the ball to the side not far away, and Milner just came forward, facing the ball with a burst shot, the ball hit the dead corner, the goalkeeper did not respond, and Milner opened the scoring ."

   Coutinho’s technical characteristics need not be repeated. His breakthrough ability will always be Liverpool’s breaking weapon.

   Previously, everyone's breakthrough defense method for Coutinho was to strengthen the manpower and restrict Coutinho's long-range shots, on the other hand, to fully defend Coutinho's possible pass into the penalty area.

   Basically, Coutinho is either acting as the final finisher himself, or as the final passer, passing the ball to the penalty area to find other players who can finish.

But this time, it was Coutinho who passed the ball to Firmino who retreated in the middle, and Firmino was used as a transit point, making Villa's defense all pounce on Coutinho and himself, The ball was sent to an empty spot not far away, allowing teammate Milner to follow up, and easily completed a kick without interference from defenders, and scored the goal.

   Liverpool took the lead, and the rhythm of the game after that was completely in Liverpool's hands.

   Facing Villa's counterattack, Liverpool made a high push in the frontcourt and did a very good job.

   And Liverpool, which sits at home, is blessed by the cheering of the fans. For the Red Army soldiers, one goal lead is far, but they need more goals to end the game early.

   The continuous offensive impact allowed Liverpool to create a lot of opportunities in the game.

   As for the Villa team, there is no change in their defensive arrangement. In order to ensure the impact of the counterattack, Villa still insists on the arrangement and preparation of their forces on the counterattack.

   I would rather have a tight defense, but also have a certain offensive ability.

   The defense arranged by Villa began to struggle more and more in the face of Liverpool's increasingly tacit attack.

   In the 34th minute of the first half, Liverpool's offense was once again effective.

   Moreno's quick forward cut helped Coutinho take away a defender.

After   , Coutinho’s breakthrough once again attracted the attention of Villa’s defense. Although Villa’s defensive players doubled, Coutinho could only return without success and retreat with the ball.

   But while dribbling the ball out of the danger zone, while looking at Coutinho ahead, he observed Firmino and once again withdrew from the penalty area to a position in front of the large penalty area.

   With a kick, Coutinho showed his excellent footwork and passed the ball accurately to the empty position where Firmino ran.

Firmino still did not choose to stop the ball this time, and gave the defender who was defending himself a chance to grab the ball. He stepped on the ball with his left foot, and then immediately "ended" the ball with his right foot and passed the ball horizontally. The arc position of the large restricted area.

   is still a direct connection between Firmino and Milner, the ball was passed to Milner by Firmino.

   While Milner kept the ball, he directly pushed the ball into the penalty area.

   "Firmino, after finishing the pass, immediately slam into the penalty area."

   "Milner's pass was just right!"

   "Firmino, catch up with the pass in front of you, and volley directly to the goal!"

   "GOAL!!!"

   "Firmino! A wonderful volley shot directly into the far corner!"

   "Liverpool! 2 to 0 lead."

Firmino and Milner completed two connections in the first half. Both of them had one goal and one assist, and it was Coutinho who initiated the offensive. The small-scale cooperation between these three , So that Klopp on the sidelines was very pleased, and he was also more determined to establish Coutinho's core position in the midfield and Firmino's advantage in the order of the center forward.

   How can two technical offensive players who have such a tacit understanding not cherish it?

   Everyone was happily looking forward to another home win for Liverpool, but in the second half, the game changed suddenly.

   Liverpool’s defensive weakness suddenly broke out.

   Villa’s rare organization offensive position, originally Liverpool's defense fought neatly.

   But it was Villa's full-back who set the edge, and after receiving a through ball from his teammate to the deep right, he accelerated forward.

Moreno did not pose a threat to the ball for the first time, and then he was simply crushed by the opponent body~lightnovelpub.net~ The Vera player completely bullied Moreno's short stature, strode the ball, and directly crushed it. In the past, before Moreno made a shovel, he had already completed a high-quality pass.

   Yang Feng at the front point was unable to intercept the high ball, but at the later point, Skrtel was directly inserted by the opponent forward Rudy to grab a better position.

   A header rushed to the top, helping Villa to get a goal in the 59th minute.

   2 to 1, the situation on the court changed suddenly.

   And 7 minutes later, Vera fought back again.

  Because Klein stepped forward and the assist range was too deep, Vera passed the ball directly behind him.

   Even though Klein desperately returned to the penalty area, he was still too far away from the Villa leader who was on the left.

An arcing pass without defensive pressure directly found in front of the goal, and Villa striker Rudy quickly inserted from behind, fully demonstrating his explosive power, leaping high, and the pressure has taken the defensive position. Scotter finished with a header and scored.

   2 to 2, Villa, in the second half, attacked twice and scored two goals, using all the weaknesses of Liverpool’s defense.

   Liverpool, whose victory is already within reach, can only force Klopp to make substitution adjustments after being equalized.

   Benteke and Danny Ince all came off the bench, but the team's offense was delayed.

   In the end, it was Coutinho's long-range shot from the outside in 82 minutes to break Villa's goal again and help Liverpool defeat Villa 3-2, without any danger.

   3 consecutive victories in all events!
