Chapter 556 Jorginho's Problem

The game has not yet started. Seeing the starting lineups of the two sides, the old fans feel that this time the red and blue contest will be very different from ten years ago——

The starting formation of both sides is 433, a formation with an offensive intention far better than a defensive one.

In the past, Liverpool and Chelsea were both good at defense, but now Chelsea and Liverpool are both good at attacking.

Although Klopp has rebuilt the defense this season, in everyone's impression, Liverpool is still known for its offense.

Although Chelsea have always been defensive in the past, after Sarri came this season, Chelsea have almost been playing 433, and they are also playing offensive football.

In order to allow Chelsea to play the tactics he is good at and the only one he is good at, Sarri bought Jorginho early.

Under his command, Jorginho maintained almost full attendance.

The current red-blue duel is definitely different from the one ten years ago.

For most fans, this must be a good thing.

The fans who were happy to see the starting lineup and the roster were disappointed one by one during the official game.

If other people don't know about Jorginho's details, will Li Ze not know?
Sarri completely uses Jorginho as the core of the team, closer than his own son.

When he came to the unfamiliar Chelsea to coach, Jorginho was his backbone and the only player who would stand firmly on his side.

The presence of Jorginho is crucial to Sarri's control of the team.

For this reason, Sarri spared no effort to help Jorginho gain a firm foothold in the team. As long as he has no physical problems, he has not been removed from the starting lineup.

However, the Italian star is most famous for his Chelsea performances for passing the ball more than 2000 times without even assisting a single one.

This kind of miraculous performance reminds people of Liverpool's once famous "Tang Ling".

This happened because many of Jorginho's passes were difficult.

It doesn't mean that he uses difficult movements to pass the ball, but the pie he passes. If his teammates want to eat it, they need to use difficult movements to stop the ball.

He often passes the ball very tricky, so tricky that even his teammates can't catch it.

In the current Chelsea, Giroud and Morata stand on the front line.

Compared with Liverpool, Chelsea's biggest shortcoming is the front line.

Chelsea was once known as the grave of the center. From 15 years ago to the present, only Drogba and Diego Costa played very well in the position of Chelsea center.

Anelka is not bad, the performance of other players, including many big names, can only be regarded as indescribable.

For example, Shevchenko, Torres and Morata last season.

Perhaps, every striker can find a lot of reasons for his poor performance, but the question is, why does Chelsea always suffer?

It may be bad luck, or it may be bad feng shui.

Now among Chelsea's risk players, Morata and Giroud are not considered that kind of outstanding forwards.

When Giroud was playing at Arsenal, the Gunners fans were very dissatisfied with him.

He can occasionally slap fans in the face, but more often he can't even eat well.

As for Morata, like Shevchenko and Torres, he has become a famous failure in the history of Chelsea center signings.

It is a bit difficult for them to count on these two to catch Jorginho's difficult pass.

In fact, Sarri gradually became aware of this problem.

On the original trajectory, in the winter of the 18-19 season, he will sell Morata to Atletico Madrid.

As for signings, Sarri seems to have no connections in the circle.

When he signed, he seemed to only be able to think of his old players.

For example, Jorginho, or Higuain, who is struggling in Juventus now.

As for Higuain's performance at Chelsea...

He probably didn't want to mention it himself, and returned to Juventus in despair after half a season.

Before Chelsea ushered in a reliable striker, Jorginho was a seemingly precious chicken rib!

At the same time, Jorginho has a more fatal flaw.

He played in Serie A before, and he also has the same flaws as other Serie A midfielders——

His ability to escape is insufficient, and his passing speed is relatively slow.

Such a player is easily robbed in the fast-paced Premier League and cannot take care of himself.

Jorginho has such a problem.

In this game, Liverpool's midfield lined up with Li Ze, Henderson and Milner.

Except for Li Ze, Henderson and Milner are both strong and rough guys.

Even Li Ze is excellent in confrontation ability.

Henderson sent the three of them, and he didn't intend to make Jorginho feel better!
Sarri is not a fool, so he naturally knows about Jorginho's problems.

In this game, he specially sent Kovacic to protect Jorginho.

With Real Madrid defending the Champions League, many players in the Real Madrid team became famous.

Kovacic is one of them. His best feature is his defensive ability.

His defense ranks among the top in Europe.

Sometimes, his defense is pretty dirty.

It is still a more reliable choice to use such players to protect the core of the team.

However, another serious problem followed-

In Sarri's 433 lineup, Jorginho is responsible for organizing the ball and Kovacic is responsible for protecting him, so who is the midfielder?
Some fans are thinking about another question——

Chelsea's two top players are Hazard and Kanter. Hazard is a wide player. Where is Kanter's position?

Sarri wants to play 433, and he can't put a world-class player like Kanter on the bench.

So, he made a genius arrangement——

He asked Kante to play the midfielder.

That's right!

Kante, who played as a defensive midfielder in the World Cup-winning France team, is playing as a midfielder at Chelsea.

It's an outrageous thing to do, but that's how Sarri sets it up.

Kanter himself is quite happy with this arrangement, no one wants to be the one who wipes the ass all the time.

In the position of the midfielder, Kanter's performance is actually not bad, at least not too bad.

At least compared to his "only Kanter who can't get through" in the midfielder position, his performance in the midfielder is completely inferior.

You ask a fan to arrange Chelsea's starting lineup, and it is impossible to misplace Kante.

But Surrey is different. Can ghosts think the same as ordinary people?

Sarri still has two brushes. At least at the beginning of the season, this ghost-like lineup allowed Chelsea to win 5 consecutive league victories, with 6 wins and 5 tie in the first 1 games. The performance was very eye-catching.

But in Liverpool's targeting tactics, Chelsea's performance was much worse.

Looking at Chelsea's current performance, it is really hard to imagine their five consecutive Premier League victories in the early stage.

In this way, Chelsea's frontcourt and midfield connection is almost broken.

Azar saw it in his eyes and always felt that this scene was very familiar.

Do you have to rely on him again?
