Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 268
With the continuous progress of various competitions in the new season, the Premier League powers have gradually shown many different trends.

Liverpool and Manchester City are the only two unbeaten teams in the league this season, but the Blue Moon under Guashuai's firepower is obviously stronger.

Liverpool has gone through the initial lineup run-in and personnel adjustments, and is now on the right track, but it has not shown the king's momentum in the strong dialogue.

Manchester City quickly found their status after experiencing the ups and downs at the beginning of the season, and aggressively started the road to becoming king in the battle with Liverpool.

On the other hand, after Manchester United's strength at the beginning of the season, they began to lag behind Liverpool and Manchester City. Not only did they fall behind in the standings, but they also began to be criticized for the scene and score results of the game.

Behind these phenomena are actually the shadows of the tactical evolution of Guashuai, Mourinho, Conte, Klopp and other coaches.

After the 1-0 victory over Brighton, Manchester United has not lost 39 consecutive home games, but unlike the strength at home, Manchester United's away record is not so impressive, especially against the Premier League's top 6 goals At the time of the team, Manchester United had been unable to win 11 consecutive away games.

The reason why Manchester United has such an embarrassing record is one of the reasons why coach Mourinho's tactics are single.

In Mourinho's past coaching experience, the 4-2-3-1 formation and the unique concept that Mourinho poured into this formation undoubtedly impressed the world deeply. This tactical concept has become Mourinho's "tactical stamp". No matter which team you coach, you will imprint this set of tactics on the team.

In Mourinho's tactics, defensive counterattack is a very typical content. This set of concepts has helped him achieve some results in Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Manchester United.

Different from seeking tactical changes and adjustments in the early years, Mourinho's tactics have become increasingly mature and conservative in recent years. While maintaining a stable tactical concept, he has gradually been studied and familiarized by opponents, which has made other teams more and more aggressive. It is easy to take the initiative to propose ideas for Mourinho's tactics and put them into practice, and master the routines to limit Mourinho's tactics in practice.

Similarly, Klopp's Liverpool also encountered similar problems. After establishing the main lineup, Klopp rarely adjusted his tactics, at most he only fine-tuned individual positions.

Klopp's team has always been known for its high press and a lot of running pressure. Such a tactical idea will also bring great pressure to the opponent.

However, this tactic has high requirements on the running ability and physical fitness of the players. Even if the players can adapt to the requirements of this tactic, it is difficult to continue this state throughout the season.

Therefore, Liverpool coached by Klopp will always perform well in the first half of the season, but in the second half of the season, there will often be extensive injuries or a decline in state.

Fortunately, Zhang Mai has been asking Klopp for advice at the beginning of the season. Liverpool began to try different combinations in the midfield, and now they are on par with Manchester City.

Contrary to the fact that Mourinho's tactics gradually tended to be conservative and led to poor results, and Klopp was urged to change by Zhang Mai, Gua Shuai and other coaches who often adjust their tactics by themselves can often change their tactics according to the different situations of the team. Making the team run at its best can also make it difficult for opponents to target.

Although Manchester City suffered a lot of injuries this season, Gua Shuai's tactical adjustments allowed the team to quickly return to an excellent state. At the same time, Gua Shuai's open and free tactical style also allowed Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, De Bruyne, David Silva and other players can all contribute, and the more blooming Manchester City also makes it impossible for opponents to completely guard against it.

Therefore, the current situation in the Premier League of "all heroes rising together, two kings contending for the front" can be summarized by the following formula:

Free and changeable Guashuai tactics﹦Klopp's fast tactics + Zhang Mai>Mourinho's anti-counterattack tactics, Uncle Bo's quick counterattack tactics, Wenger's technical style of play>Others in the Premier League.

In the era when the highly competitive Premier League and the UEFA Champions League are intertwined, a team can finally stand on top of Europe only through flexible and changeable tactical adjustments.

A great example of success by adjusting tactics is Chelsea last season and Conte, who has left the Premier League.

After Conte took over in the summer of 2016, Chelsea performed poorly at the beginning of the season, but in the battle against Arsenal, Conte was forced to change to a 3-centre defender tactic, but it received miraculous results. In the following seasons, Chelsea used this This set of tactics is always unfavorable, setting a record of 13 consecutive victories in the Premier League.

It can be seen that in today's era, the strategy of "conquering the world with one set of tactics" has become increasingly difficult to succeed.

Only by constantly adjusting and evolving the tactical system can the tactics keep pace with the times and avoid being targeted by opponents as much as possible.

I believe that as the season continues, famous coaches such as Mourinho and Klopp will also start to improve the existing tactics, and Manchester United, Liverpool and other powerful players will also show a better style under their adjustments.

As for those who have not kept up with this general trend, they will eventually be abandoned by the fast-growing Premier League Jinyuan football, and only then will Zhang Mai be able to complete the temporary task.

Under the trend of the times, the British media and people in the football industry have noticed it, and many famous coaches also have a deep understanding.

The UEFA Champions League group stage is coming to an end, and the 13th round of the Premier League has passed. All teams have entered the mid-term sprint stage, and it is time for their respective tactics to accumulate and show off.

Before meeting Manchester City in the 23rd round, Liverpool's schedule can be described as flat, with only Arsenal, which is going from bad to worse, worthy of a battle. It is a good time to grab points.

For the rich teams, players and other conditions of the game are easy to solve. Only tactics and morale are the real magic weapon to win.

"Manchester City is aggressive and will go all out in every next game. Both sides are waiting for the opponent to stumble!"

Klopp began to cheer up the Red Army soldiers who had entered the first fatigue period of the league, and the title of "Creat Commissar" was well-deserved.

"The two wings determined Robertson and Arnold as the main force, and Gomez, Klein and Moreno rotated, liberating Milner to strengthen the midfielder."

In private, Uncle Zha and the coaching staff are also trying their best to seek a change:
"Liverpool will definitely not be able to fight with their nerves tight. We have to seek changes, starting with the midfield, and there are more tactics in the forward line and defense."

"Van Dijk and Maguire, plus the rotation of Lovren, Matip and Klavan, can be temporarily matched according to the situation. The central defender is stable."

"There is Zhang Mai in the midfield, the midfield can change at any time, and the forward line can also change at least 3 offensive methods-multi-point quick reaction, single arrow and attack."

"When the high school defender on the back line stepped forward to assist, Zhang Mai's height and skills can also play long passes and high-altitude operations!"

"When playing against teams in the middle and lower reaches of the league, you can properly rotate the main players to cultivate, and at the same time, you can also try new formations. If you are a little bit hesitant, go to Zhang Mai!"

"In the strong dialogue in the league and the Champions League knockout, you can also change the lineup according to the opponent's strength and state. 1-0, 2-1 is also a win."

"When facing a super strong team, Firmino at the forward line can also pull back to the midfield defense, and Zhang Mai can act as an organizational midfielder."

……

Since Klopp can strategically give up high grabs and fast breaks, what else can others not say!
The entire coaching staff started a heated discussion, and you tossed a lot of tactical changes...
