Chapter 620 Gao Bo's Confidence (Second)
Chapter 631 Gao Bo's Confidence
Rodgers is indeed studying Manchester City's tactical routines.

Although the offensive routine shown by Manchester City in the last game is not complicated, what Rogers has to admit is that this simple offensive routine is indeed difficult to guard against, unless Liverpool have one-on-one players on both sides who can absolutely defend Hazard and Griezmann.

Rogers did not expect that after Gao Bo came to Manchester City, he seemed to give up the overall style of play he was famous for at Atletico Madrid, and instead turned to relying on the individual abilities of the players to create opportunities.

"This may be related to the fact that he has just arrived in Manchester City and has not had time to conduct complex tactical training!"

While Rogers was distressed, his assistant Pascoe also knew what his boss was thinking.

Rogers nodded: "But even so, Gao Bo's set is very difficult to deal with. The offensive power of his two wingers is really enviable!"

When Rodgers was in charge of Watford and Reading in the early days, he tried to add some Spanish passing and running style to the traditional England 442 formation, but at the time it made his team become a four-dimensional team.

But the inflection point of Rodgers' coaching career was during the Swansea period.

It has to be said that the time for Rogers to switch to Swansea is just right.Under the former coaches Martinez and Sosa, Swansea played Spanish tiki-taka, which provided Rogers with the best platform to show his coaching philosophy.For this reason, Rodgers once again rented Sigurdson, and his team finally took shape.

Therefore, Rogers knows very well how important it is for a team dominated by a 433 formation to have two powerful wingers!

Although Gao Bo has not been in Manchester City for a long time, judging from Manchester City's control over the game in the last game, he has already controlled Manchester City very well.

"They execute very well, attacking one side, then move to the weak side and create one-on-ones. Sometimes, the simpler the game, the harder it is to defend."

Rogers said with a sigh.

Pascoe also nodded approvingly.

"We can also try to play simpler." Pascoe suggested, "We have Suarez, Sterling, and Gerrard!"

Both Suarez and Sterry have speed and skill, and Gerrard's passing can make their speed play.

Rodgers nodded. He was not a "tike-taka" defender. In fact, in his successful season, Liverpool's main style of play was defensive counterattack. At that time, Rodgers built the team around Suarez. He brought in Sturridge and Coutinho.Using high-pressure defense and the fast passing of several players in the frontcourt, they can play suffocating speed in the counterattack. Suarez has excellent skills, Sturridge has amazing speed, and Sterling has excellent passing ability. This provides an excellent running environment for the two forwards.In midfield, Gerrard is still the leader of the team, Coutinho is mainly responsible for organizing the attack, while Henderson runs between the two penalty areas at all costs. ——In that season, Liverpool was close to their first Premier League trophy.

And now Liverpool has neither Sturridge nor Coutinho.But Rodgers also knows that Suarez's strength can bring victory to Liverpool - as long as he can create a good space for the Uruguayan to play.

"Center!! We shrink the defense in the center!!!"

Rogers said, "They still have to cut in to the middle in the end. We will base ourselves on defense first, and then kick their counterattack!!"

In the second round of the league, Gao Bo ushered in his first important test after coaching Manchester City.

The game between Liverpool and Manchester City is undoubtedly the focus of this round.

Since the end of the last league game, the media on both sides have been operating.

The media in Manchester is of course biased towards Manchester City. They brought up the FA Cup final three years ago again.

At that time, Gao Bo led Luton, who was still in the second division, and defeated Liverpool in the FA Cup final to win the championship.

Gao Bo's team created the miracle of winning the FA Cup with a fourth-tier league team, and it was Liverpool who became the background and jokes.

The one who laughed at Liverpool the most was, of course, the media in Manchester.

Regardless of whether it is red or blue media, when Manchester City and Liverpool are directly facing each other, their guns are of course unanimous. After all, half of the city belongs to blue.

On the Liverpool side, facing the ridicule of the Manchester media, they resorted to tricks and played aggressive tactics.

"This is the time for revenge!!"

This is the headline in the report of the "Liverpool Daily Mail".

What revenge?
Of course, it was Gao Bo who snatched Liverpool's FA Cup three years ago, and made Liverpool forever the enemy of the jokes of fans of other teams in England.

In the past few years, as long as fans of other teams quarrel with Liverpool, this matter must be brought up.

"We have five Champions League trophies!"

"You were robbed of the FA Cup by a team from the Second Division!"

"We have eighteen league titles!"

"You were abused by Luton!"

"We are the number one club in England!!"

"You lost to Luton in the FA Cup final!"

Therefore, although Gao Bo's memory of the FA Cup final three years ago is almost indifferent, for Liverpool, especially Liverpool supporters, this is really unforgettable!

Therefore, Liverpool really has a grudge against Gao Bo.

Regarding this point, Rogers was eager to put out the fire: "This is an ordinary league and has nothing to do with the FA Cup championship three years ago. We will go all out at home. The defeat in the first round made us realize that this season is difficult. The results at home are very important to us!"

And Gao Bo didn't pay attention to the war of words between the two media.

He doesn't have time to fight, the team's training is already very busy.

The advantage of being familiar with history is that he can roughly guess what kind of tactics Rogers will adopt!
The head coach, who became famous for his pass-and-control tactics in Swansea, still focused on a very pragmatic defensive counterattack in the early stages of his arrival at Liverpool. He likes to arrange two fast players, Suarez and Sterry, on the forward line.

In response to this, Gao Bo intends to continue to improve the team's offensive power!
Out of the five card slots, he chose to equip three offensive cards!
[Competition card (orange): +15% pass success rate within 15 meters; anti-offside success rate +15%]

[Match card (orange): The chance of your player hitting the goal frame + 15%; the success rate of dribbling + 15%]

[Competition Card (Blue): Long Pass Accuracy +15]

In addition to these three cards, the physical card and the interception card are actually used to strengthen the offense-the physical card is to improve the continuity of the team's offense, and the interception card is to regain the ball.

Gao Bo intends to defeat Liverpool with the team's most powerful offense!

Rogers thought that he could prevent Manchester City's offense by putting on a defensive posture, which really underestimated Manchester City's offensive strength.

The defense line composed of Skrtel and Coster is not strong, and Reina's performance on the goal line is becoming more and more unstable. Otherwise, how could they have been scored three goals by West Bromwich Albion in the first round of the league?
Rodgers, who was in charge of Liverpool for the first time, did not knead Liverpool into a whole, while Gao Bo's Manchester City has slowly begun to absorb the tactical ideas instilled by the head coach.

Gao Bo knew where the weaknesses of this Liverpool team were, so he thought he was already invincible!
This time, he is going to speed up the team as a whole, coupled with the impact of the players on both sides, use offense to defeat Liverpool's carefully arranged defense! !

This is just a Liverpool that is in a state of reconstruction. Even in an away game, Manchester City can also beat their opponents!
Gao Bo has absolute confidence in his team!
