Chapter 647: Tough Champions League away

After the away draw with Tottenham, for Liverpool, the league has now achieved two consecutive draws after encountering Everton and Tottenham’s two strong enemies. It must be quite equal for the team’s ranking in the standings. Adverse.

However, in these two strong matchups, under the current situation of the team, for Klopp, there is no good way. He can only endure the suspicion of the outside world and try his best to get the ball. The team remains unbeaten.

After all, although the team has a strong lineup, so far, many problems are still there. Perhaps in the league, bullying a weak team may also be able to rely on hard power to appear comfortable, but in the confrontation with the strong team, Liverpool There are still considerable problems, and he has not recovered to his best strength.

   However, Liverpool is not too anxious, this year's Premier League games, games against the gram, appear frequently.

Except for Arsenal, which is currently at the top of the list, the other five giants did not have the amazing performance in the league in the early stages of the league. Various upsets are frequent. It can be said that the current pressure on Liverpool is not so much. Big.

   Now Liverpool just needs to do a good job in building their own team, restore the strength of their players, and then exert their strength in the later stages of the league, and they can spell a good league record.

   After the away tie with Tottenham, Liverpool focused all their attention on the team's Champions League group stage.

  The third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage is another huge test for Liverpool.

   They are going to Russia, where the weather is freezing cold, to challenge CSKA Moscow away.

   Even though his career debuted in Russia and played for Zenit for a long time, Yang Feng should not feel unfamiliar with the Russian weather.

But after spending so many years in the warm England and returning to Russia, Yang Feng felt that playing in such a cold environment was very uncomfortable, let alone many players in the Liverpool team. Playing in a warm environment, I have never tried to play an intense high-intensity game at such a temperature.

   On the training ground, Klopp clearly felt that the performance of many players was greatly affected by the temperature.

Under this temperature, the players from England have to wear a lot of warm clothing, and the increase in physical "equipment" makes too much clothing tight for many players who require technical skills on the offensive end of the team. Tension will still have a certain impact on your own technical ability.

   After struggling for a while, seeing the team's strength decline, Klopp suddenly decided to "give up" this away game.

In this away game, for Klopp, the team’s primary goal is to temporarily change from a full-fledged victory to as long as it is unbeaten. As long as CSKA Moscow does not get 3 points, then for Liverpool, In the subsequent group matches, it is completely possible to find the court at home and strive for three points.

   The Russian Super League, with the support of Russian domestic capital in the past few years, seems to be the sixth largest league in Europe.

  The injection of domestic capital has made the salary of the Russian Super League soar, and it has also made most Russian players more willing to stay in the country and get higher wages and bonuses.

   Even the Russian Super League, upstart teams such as Zenit and Kazan, have also introduced a large number of first-tier European players to strengthen the team's competitiveness.

However, with the economic downturn in Russia in recent years, the capital investment in the Russian Super League has gradually decreased. At least for many big-name players, the cold weather has made the Russian Super League regain its status without the attraction of enough money. A league dominated by local players no longer has too many foreign players to join.

   Now, after many years, facing the Russian Super League team again, it is still the mortal enemy CSKA Moscow, Yang Feng is actually very enthusiastic about this game.

   After Klopp temporarily completed the "give up" decision, in the away formation, this time he did not choose to continue the team's previous thinking.

   has been in the media, with the help of the agent's voice, Benteke, this game finally qualified for the starting battle.

   Klopp has a clear idea about this game in such a temperature, that is, the team must retain the strength of the team in the severe cold weather and not fight against opponents in the away game.

   The first is the change in Klopp's tactics. Under the influence of the "bad" environment in the away game, Klopp did not force the players to continue to maintain a high position in the frontcourt to press and press.

   For the team, in such a game, the continued high physical consumption of the run, high-intensity press, and fierce physical confrontation, the risk of player injury is too great.

   So in this away game, Klopp has rotated several of his precious forward players to ensure that the players will not be affected by injuries in key frontcourt offensive positions.

   Players like Coutinho and Lallana are all protected to prevent injuries, watch the game on the bench and concentrate on the weekend league.

   Benteke and Origi joined together to form Liverpool's double forwards in this game.

   In the four-midfield configuration, Milner ~lightnovelpub.net~Henderson, Emre Can and Lucas form the "luxury" midfield defensive team for Liverpool.

   In the backcourt, Liverpool is still the main player. Although he wants to save his strength on the road, Klopp still has to give priority to ensuring that the defensive end can do better, at least not allowing the team to lose on the road.

   CSKA Moscow is playing at home, although in terms of team value, there is still a gap with last season's champion Liverpool.

   However, the home court of the Russian team has always been one of the most prestigious home courts in the European war.

   I don't know how many giants have played abnormally under the severe cold weather in Russia, which has won the Russian Super League team.

   Today’s game, CSKA Moscow still wants to win the home game with all its strength when it is still possible to qualify.

   CSKA Moscow, which is playing at home, also has a 442 lineup. This set of the most commonly used lineup of the home team relies heavily on the two African forwards Moussa and Dumbia on the front line.

In midfield, although the growth of "New Tsar" Zagoyev did not reach the expected height, he was still a capable player, coupled with the impact of Eremenko and the full-back Fernandez on the right. The power of this offensive lineup of the Army is actually very powerful, especially in the familiar home game, which can occupy a greater advantage in the state of the team.

At the beginning of the game, CSKA Moscow, which was fighting at home, had a considerable initiative. The team’s tactics were very simple. In the game, relying on their ability to run in the cold wind, hit the wing, and start the cross. Directly find the striker in the penalty area...
