Reborn Liverpool

Chapter 277 The Misnamed Battle for England's No. [-] Winger
There is a reason for Chamberlain's outbreak in the 18th round of the league. The cause is the current fiery "23-man roster" dispute in England.

"Who is England's No. [-] winger?", "Guardiola's ace PK Klopp loves";
"The Premier League, the first league with suspense as its selling point, has to rely on the theory of evolution to maintain the chaos."

"In the Tiger and Wolf Premier League, there are fewer people who are good at scheming, and more are rough guys who only rely on their blood to conquer the world, such as Sterling and Chamberlain."

Is it fantasy to discuss Sterling and Chamberlain together?
One of the two is Manchester City's frontcourt similar to Mane's sharp winger, and the other is the Red Army's midfielder with a balanced offensive and defensive midfielder who can hit both sides. It seems that there is no comparison.

But from the very beginning of their debut, the British media liked to put the two together and compare them with each other. They are so similar in some places.

They are all the proud sons of heaven when they are young, world-class below the head, and they are all Jamaican... And, they use the same agent...

But if you take a closer look, there are more differences between the two.

Let’s talk about Chamberlain, who has a gangster face. From the moment he debuted, he was dubbed as a gimmick such as “Will this kid be England’s new winger choice”, but it soon fell silent;
People were not reconciled, and continued to discuss "whether this guy is an atypical English player", but the topic quickly died down.

In the following years, the world gave him the label that Chamberlain was an old-fashioned English winger with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, with biceps growing into his brain.

By the standards of English wingers alone, Chamberlain is very fast, and his 1v1 ability in open situations is not bad, but compared to the complicated manuals of other wingers, Chamberlain's manual is only a thin sheet of paper.

According to Liverpool teammate Lallana: "We came out together in Southampton back then. This kid is mature... But it seems that after so many years, his characteristics have not changed."

His breakthrough was simple and rough. In the days of Arsenal, Chamberlain usually asked for the ball on the right, and then took a step with his left foot, staggering 45 degrees with the opponent's defensive player.

If the opponent stays still, Chamberlain will return the ball to the midfield in an even and steady manner; if the opponent's center of gravity moves slightly, Chamberlain will lightly lift his right foot, and move the center of gravity of the outside instep to the right, making a step-by-step movement. kill out.

Because Chamberlain's crotch muscles are strong, his first step is very fast, and he can eat alive when facing a faltering person such as Kolarov; There is still balance after the breakthrough, and post-up singles will not suffer.

In the few years at Arsenal, Wenger gave him the treatment of galloping horses on the wing, and gave him the authority to decide life and death on the wing, but he rarely gave him room to maneuver in the middle.

But Chamberlain has also repeatedly shown inspiration in the midfielder position, such as the full moon scimitar beating Monaco, such as the tiger descending the mountain to harass Bayern.

And the young man's ambition is still lofty - "Gerrard is my idol!"

But as great as Gerrard, the pass is not as out of position as Chamberlain, and the position is not as muddy as Chamberlain.

Based on this, Chamberlain will be squeezed outside in a targeted manner, and all receiving routes will be blocked along the way, watching his own midfielder being slaughtered like a lamb in vain.

Of course, the most terrible thing is that, like a typical English player, Chamberlain likes to play with his head down.

Chamberlain's passing is not lacking in sway, and his open and close through balls are also very popular in the Premier League.

But Chamberlain's style of play relies more on intuition than insight. Chamberlain's biggest problem in midfield is that he likes to lower his waist and lower his center of gravity too much.

The low center of gravity is of course convenient for him to stab like an arrow from the string, but correspondingly, his field of vision will be as narrow as a frog in a well.

Fortunately, after being accidentally injured by Zhang Mai at Arsenal in 15 years, Chamberlain seemed to have enlightened all of a sudden, and he transferred to Liverpool with a one-year contract sold for 3500 million pounds.

Under Klopp's guidance, Chamberlain's defensive pressing attributes have been thoroughly developed. Coupled with his original speed and dribbling foundation, he has become the most eye-catching midfielder in the Premier League.

Referring to Guardiola's broken thoughts that "the midfielder just wants to play with his head up", Chamberlain, who plays with his head down, does not meet the "tiki-taka" standard.

But in the Liverpool midfield under Klopp, Chamberlain doesn't need to look up, as long as he can see the opponent in front of him and his own Zhang Mai.

Due to the burden of his vision, his powerful and miraculous shots and above-average crosses are nothing to do in Liverpool. Ferocity and speed are king.

Chamberlain was originally a genius when he was young, but because of his thin body, the local youth team didn't want to see him. Before he was 16 years old, he practiced a steel frame on the training ground, and then he took off all the way and entered Southampton. youth training.

The sweetness of this physical torture has always accompanied Chamberlain: Whenever something went wrong in his career, he would subconsciously think, "Should I stop going to the gym?"

But after arriving in Liverpool, this problem has been perfectly solved, that is, "Should I ask Zhang Mai?"

Oxlade-Chamberlain has now become one of the best home-grown players in the Premier League, only a touch behind his idol in precision and creativity, but with more speed.

Compared with Chamberlain, who was reborn after joining the Red Army last year, Liverpool's abandoned player Sterling has also changed a lot since he came to Manchester City.

On December 14, 12, Liverpool lost 14-0 at Old Trafford.After the game, Sterling did two things: praised De Gea through various channels (“I would have had a hat-trick without this guy”), and shaved his haircut.

In the Manchester Derby on December 12 this year, what Sterling did included but was not limited to:
After holding the ball at the top of the penalty area, he hit the wall with Jesus; relying on the pass to move across the right side of Manchester United, like a skylark that only shuttles between the net pockets; dribbled four times in the audience, and once carried Ashley on the bottom line Yang Shi hit the ball with his heel and turned around to score the ball.

Of course, just like when he debuted, Sterling's label is still consistently fast.The significance of Guardiola to Sterling is that he added a gear lever to the motorcycle.

Compared with Chamberlain's unreasonable overtaking, Sterling's speed is slightly slower, but the pace is more dense.

Sterling is short, but his thighs are extremely strong. When he lowers his center of gravity, his arms will be raised exaggeratedly, like a toddler bird.

Compared with Chamberlain, his moves are quite diverse.In Manchester City during Pegong's period, Sterling worked more as an accelerator.

In the slow Latin style, Sterling fulfilled Pellegrini's simplification, relying on both sides of the road to instantly pick up speed and take the outside line to speed up.

Sterling's breakthrough largely depends on his pair of peerless butts.

If Chamberlain's hip shaft is iron, then Sterling's hip shaft is diamond-level.

Because of the convenience of the big butt, Sterling can create space out of nothing by relying on the three-point force under the hip after starting the speed; marching without the ball, Sterling can also rely on the butt to get a gap, and then like Loach usually drills in.

It is rare that Sterling's butt is almost perfect in physics-strong and round, but it does not affect the center of gravity.

Therefore, although Sterling's shot was often inaccurate, he rarely fired anti-aircraft guns.

These traits, coupled with a bloodthirsty instinct, made Sterling an outlier among Premier League wingers: a golden snake with flamboyant footwork, and a ruthless scoring maniac.

But the problem with Sterling is that he has a lot of passing selection problems, and his confidence is always a little bit lacking.

At the passing level, Guardiola can teach him to go back and forth, he can carve out his details, and he can perfectly integrate into tiki-taka, but things like confidence are achieved by playing one game at a time.

As a result, Sterling has become the leading figure of "happy football" in the Premier League!
Although Sterling is still nervous this season, and often passes some passes that will make Guardiola's chest beat, Guardiola still loves his men:

"People only focus on how much money Sterling has cost us, but Sterling came to the Etihad to prove himself."

Receiving this kindness, Sterling also restrained his edge and concentrated on letting himself go on the court.

For example, he listened to Guardiola's ramblings and turned off social media-Sterling's breakup last season was full of ups and downs, which also affected the state of the English to some extent.

His aura is gradually condensed, like a shark that hasn't eaten for a long time-hungry and thirsty, it can disturb the situation when it comes across a little blood smell.

Then this season, the league ranks third in the scorer list with 11 goals. Among them, there was a series of lore a while ago--the tacit wing connection against Feyenoord, the full moon scimitar against Southampton, the scimitar against Southampton, The pie that Ha Zhen received in exchange for hard work... It's been a long time, and no one knows what else he can develop in his arsenal.

Seeing Sterling at this time, who would have thought that this guy was still a rampage four years ago, and he would only make side moves?
Or, seeing Chamberlain at this time, who would have thought that this guy is still the same as we were familiar with four years ago, but he can help the Red Army kill the Quartet?
The rise of Chamberlain and Sterling just heralds the good situation of British football - regardless of the time, willing to change, moving the dead and moving the tree, and taking off when you meet Bole.

For thousands of years, the English have been like this. "Braveness" has been extolled by them as a virtue, and "smartness" has been ridiculed as cowardice by them.

But football itself, always rely on the brain to improve, and rely on Bo Yun's tricks to build bridges.

As strong as England is, it is always ready to change, but what about the weak Chinese football?
Is it necessary to rely on the "formula football" advocated by Huo Sannian and others to entertain themselves behind closed doors at home, and refuse to come out to "have fun with the world"?
