Green Dragon

Chapter 596 A Lineup Full of Pitfalls

"Pong!"

The pure white net was sparked by a ferocious shot.

But Long Shute still couldn't help shaking his head.

Rehabilitation has cost him too much time, and he may have to spend more energy to find the feeling he once had.

Although he has gradually resumed training since February, starting from July 2, this blank half year is enough for him to take a step back!
Football is originally a sport of talent and persistence. If you don’t practice for three days a day, once you stop, it’s like losing half your weight, and you’re bound to usher in a strong rebound!
Most of his attributes dropped by 1-2 points, especially teamwork and leadership, which fell to the lowest after joining the new team. The overall evaluation also changed from the previous 102 to 95 points, although it is still The strength of a top star, but there is no way to beat Melo.

For this gap, Long Shute could only accept it, and then he could only improve his strength as soon as possible through additional training.

Sturridge, who came back from injury, watched him train so diligently, and couldn't help but shook his head enviously:
"If I could bear this intensity of training, I would have been the number one star in the universe!"
-
"I have watched some games from last season, you seem to be trying a 352-[-]-[-] formation?"

Long Shute does not shy away from discussing the current tactics with the head coach, and Rogers is not an idiot. Even if he does not know that Long Shute is the club's mastermind behind the scenes, he can guess that the Chinese player in front of him is of great importance to the Chinese capital. effect.

Rogers nodded and threw a bottle of water over:

"I have studied the style of play of some European teams for a long time, and this idea is also in the process of experimenting. In the World Cup last year, several games between the Netherlands and Chile have tried this system of three central defenders. I also think that this Tactics have their rationale, what do you think?"

Rogers, who has a round face, is actually a coach who likes to study, but his overall business level and personal ability are really not as good as those of the real top super masters. Coupled with the limitations of the strength of his team, it is also difficult for him Play to full strength.

This is also fate. Enrique almost brought the Red Wolves to the relegation zone in Rome, but almost replicated Guardiola's six-time crown miracle in Barcelona. Who can justify this?

Long Shute took a sip of water and pointed to the tactical board:
"Three central defenders can certainly increase the number of midfielders, but it will also require the two fullbacks to take on more offensive and defensive responsibilities. Judging from our current configuration, whether it is Coutinho or others, I am afraid that there is no way to be competent. This kind of continuous and frequent back-and-forth sprinting task will only make defense more difficult, how do you solve this problem?"

Rogers pondered for a while, and finally spoke:

"Defense...what is it? Our Liverpool... how can we have this thing? Isn't the sport of football, whoever scores more goals, wins the game?"

Long Shute couldn't help but spit:

This statement...he seems to have heard it in AC Milan! -
Liverpool's formation is slowly adjusted in training and warm-up matches. Long Shute is not opposed to the three-back system, but wants to remind Rogers that it is still necessary to consider the reality.

But later, Rogers convinced him with a very reasonable sentence.

The Northern Ireland coach, dubbed "Luo Genius", said:

"Long, I believe that your strength can make up for any flaws in formation and tactics!"

Long Shute, who had just experienced the lowest point in his life, couldn't help but burst into tears.

He almost patted his chest and issued a military order to Rogers:
As long as you believe in me, even without defenders and goalkeepers, I can make you the number one head coach in the world! -
In addition to the formation, Liverpool still has many problems, such as players.

In fact, although the overall strength of the players of this team is not as good as that of Manchester City, Chelsea, and Manchester United, the gap is not as big as a gap, but they only ranked No.5 last season, which shows that the head coach pinched the team ability is still lacking.

After Sterling left, Coutinho was originally the core of doing his part, but now he has not yet reached the core level of the giants. is his weakness.

Sturridge, who used to support the striker with Suarez, experienced the highlight moments of the 2013-14 season, as if cursed in his body, he completely became a glass man who "rehabilitated his injury for three months and played two or three times". Last season, he only played 12 games and scored a pitiful 4 goals. Liverpool's team doctors changed and changed, but they still couldn't solve the problem of the century.

As for the newly joined black and hard striker Benteke... Can he really achieve the previous results under Liverpool's tactics?You know, in the past ten years, no tall type of forward has ever proved himself in Liverpool. The Red Army's striker line seems to be more suitable for speed-type attackers, such as Owen, Torres, Suarez...

Emre Can was used by Rodgers as a defensive midfielder and also as a full-back, but the German teenager had a clear attitude as early as Bayern. He wanted to be an offensive player, and he was not so much interested in defense. ...

Another problem with him is Milner who has just joined the team. According to reliable sources, he is likely to be placed in the left back position, and he will play for two or three seasons...

Brazilian midfielder Lucas once had the opportunity to become the second Mascherano, but after his serious injury two years ago, his physical fitness has declined significantly, and he is obviously unable to support the defense of the midfield by himself.

Speaking of midfield, in fact, the current captain of the Red Army-Jordan Henderson also has this problem.

Although Rodgers has fixed him as a defensive midfielder who tends to drag, but with his ability, he is neither the Gerrard who can attack the city when he is young, nor can he reach the level of the old captain after the age of 30. Although he tried his best I want to imitate Gerrard, but the reason why the legend is so memorable is that it is impossible to meet.

In fact, when Henderson joined Liverpool in 2011, no one could have predicted that he would be able to take over the flag from Gerrard four years later, because the two were almost completely out of the same class.

But there is no way for Long Shute to directly let the board of directors strip Henderson of the captain's armband, because in the last season, this local player has been established as the vice-captain, and the fans have gradually become accustomed to his role in Gerrard's rotation. leader.

He works hard, but if Liverpool really want to revive, such a player... I am afraid it will not be matched.

In addition, who will play the right midfielder is also a very real problem. Ince, Ibe, Firmino, Lallana, Milner, and Flanagan have all tried this position in turn, but none of them seem to be able to play. Find the most suitable feeling.

Of course, if you talk about Barabara, you will find that Liverpool's lineup is full of loopholes:

Are their defenders really reliable?
Stekel, Sakho, Lovren, plus Badstuber, which of the four central defenders is particularly reassuring?

Can their goalkeeper be compared to De Gea, Courtois and Petr Cech?
Mignolet is almost the type to throw up his hands and surrender when he encounters a shot!

As for the substitute goalkeeper Bogdan... Let's make a good substitute!

After Long Shute studied for a month, he felt that he still had to stand up and take responsibility.

So he offered this suggestion to Rogers:

"Coach, let me play the midfielder."
