Legend of Fengshen

Chapter 926
What Zhang Yuan said is a real situation. Klopp is really not interested in taking over Liverpool now. The main reason is not Liverpool itself, but himself. He has just resigned not long ago. After all, being a head coach is very tiring. Son, he has changed from a scumbag to a scumbag uncle, and he also wants to rest and adjust.

The first contact with Liverpool was not smooth. Qian Huan has just come to Europe and is about to go to Germany. He has a good talk with Klopp and hopes that there will be room for improvement. Hypia’s team leadership performance is generally not bad, but Ian Ayre has already said that he does not yet have the strength to lead Liverpool forward, and everyone knows Hypia's ability.

It is imperative to hire a head coach who can hold the field, and Klopp is definitely a good candidate.

"Actually, I personally think Uncle Zha is pretty good!" Zhou Qiang expressed his thoughts.

"Oh, how do you say it?!" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

"The pace of the Premier League is very fast, and Uncle Zha's team advocated this kind of fast attack when he was in Dortmund. I don't think his adaptability is a problem, but now Liverpool's attack is originally a small and fast attack. It’s just that the details need to be refined. Uncle Zha is an expert in this area. He can make good use of Liverpool’s existing personnel! I think this is good for you, you are good at frequent Run and switch positions!" Zhou Qiang said.

"So what about defense?!" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Hehe, it's hard to say! Liverpool lacks a good goalkeeper now! The biggest problem in the back line is not the problem of personal ability, but the problem of confidence. They have suffered too much criticism this season, and perhaps their confidence has long been wiped out! Uncle Zha In terms of defensive training, how should I put it, I personally think that he is not particularly successful, and he needs strong players to support him defensively!" Zhou Qiang said.

What he said is also true. Liverpool feel that the Lovren they bought this season is a parallel import, and Mignolet's performance is also substandard. Hypia even wants to replace Mignolet with the second goalkeeper Jones recently.

Lovren's ability is not as bad as he imagined, but now he is really hit so that he doesn't have much confidence.

The end of the chat between the two naturally fell to the upcoming double red meeting. Zhou Qiang sincerely wished Liverpool to win this crucial victory, but he was also worried about Liverpool's prospects in this duel.

In fact, this is not the first time the two teams have met this season. As early as the summer warm-up match, the two sides had played against each other in the International Champions Cup. At that time, Manchester United won Liverpool 3:1. , but the reference significance of that game is not great.

在英格兰国内，两支球队交战了190次，曼联75胜51平64负，联赛中曼联63胜44平55负。英超中共交战44场曼联23胜8平13负占据上风，在最近的12个主场面对利物浦中曼联拿到了10胜2负，从历史战绩上看曼联更加占据一点优势，尤其是他们的主场更是难以攻克的堡垒。

However, such a fortress was broken by Liverpool during Moyes' coaching last season, and Liverpool also won quite well at Liverpool's home court, so this game at Old Trafford can be said to be Manchester United's revenge. Battle, the International Champions Cup?That was just an appetizer.

In an interview, Van Gaal said the importance of the double red meeting "Of course I know the importance of the contest between rivals. Even during the trip to the United States, everyone told me the meaning of playing against Liverpool. We have a man named Mike He told me everything when I didn't know anything about Manchester United and their arch-rivals! He's a big Manchester United supporter and I heard everything right away from him."

But compared to these meanings, he values ​​points more, "I hope the team can be in the position of Manchester City or Chelsea. But now we need to play game by game, which is the most important thing. We must beat Liverpool , it's more important than hoping Chelsea or Man City drop points."

In fact, he may also be dazzled by the recent five-game winning streak. The outside world does not think so highly of Manchester United, and the evaluation of Van Gaal's performance in the past few months is also not so high. Manchester United's investment in the summer transfer market is Very big, even though they are in the third position, but the hidden worry is also obvious. Van Gaal stubbornly uses the three-back system. As a result, their defense is not strong. Fortunately, Manchester United has a great goalkeeper. Goalkeeper De Gea.

When De Gea first came to Manchester United, his performance was not very good, but with the accumulation of experience, he finally proved his worth. It is really awesome. Manchester United can get so many points and now they can stand in the third position. It's really not Van Gaaldo, but De Gea is really good, and he has staged miraculous saves many times.

If a game is magical, that's all. The key is that De Gea's performance has been very stable this season, which can be said to be the performance of a top goalkeeper.

Therefore, the outside world now has a very high evaluation of De Gea. Of course, this is worthy of the name. On the contrary, Van Gaal's tactics are still being criticized even if they are winning.

Manchester United's star Neville spoke out again before this derby, and the target was not Liverpool but Manchester United themselves.

He said that Van Gaal's team's defense was simply terrible, like the defense of an amateur team, giving the opponent too many opportunities.

And Arsenal's star Keown said bluntly: "I'm always worried about Manchester United's three-man defense. I think they have better defenders, but they can't play together for a long time. Smalling and Luke Shaw can't. In one go, I've been expecting Smalling to become a dominant defender, but it will take time. I don't understand Van Gaal's determination to use a back three. I respected him more and more, but lost it after the Southampton game. Kudos to him, for this game he switched back to a formation that hadn't worked out before. Three at the back worked for Holland but not for Manchester United in the Premier League!"

But talking about Liverpool, Keown was obviously more blunt, "I prefer Liverpool's formation, but their players are struggling. Lovren spent a lot of money on them, but a club like Liverpool expects a lot from him. He was Seen as Carragher's successor, but now he's being questioned and it's really affecting his confidence."

"But their attack line is very good, with Zhang Yuan, Coutinho and Sterling, enough to cause Manchester United a lot of trouble! I have to remind Manchester United that Zhang Yuan is not an ordinary striker. If they continue Keep the same state as before, hehe, De Gea will definitely not be able to save them in this game!"

"The game on the weekend will definitely be very interesting, because the two teams have been criticized recently, and the players must prove their strength! Their current strength is very close, at least in terms of instability!" Keown No matter how you listen to the last words, it means mocking these two teams.

But this time no one from Liverpool came out to fight. Hyypia studied tactics carefully. His research result is that, to counter Manchester United's midfield thickness, Liverpool should also change their formation. As a result, they also used it in tactical drills. A 3-back formation was adopted, with the intention of increasing the thickness of the midfield and confronting Manchester United.

Of course, whether it is used or not is another matter. He himself told the players that this is one of the wartime tactics and may not need to be used, but now the team should seize the time to practice.

Zhang Yuan is not interested in the three-back system. Few of these players have experienced the three-back system. However, he has experienced it. Such a system has very high requirements for players. Speaking of it, Liverpool can't choose a qualified wing-back at all. , Johnson could have been in the past, but now he seems to be in a much worse state than before.

Enrique focuses on defense, and if wingers are used as wingbacks, then Liverpool's defensive ability on the wing will be quite unreliable.

But the head coach is the head coach after all, if Hypia wants to do this, Zhang Yuan can only listen to it, and Hypia also stated that the team may not adopt such a tactic, but it is just a rainy day. It is a rainy day.
