My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

Lin Chen smiled.

This is the best birthday present I have ever received.

none of them.

"Liverpool FC announced that the entire team will set off for Bali, Indonesia to start a seven-day secret training camp!"

Klopp chose to go to Bali to start training in a secret stadium, allowing the players to relax in the excellent weather and scenery and prepare for the arrival of the new season.

August 8, Bali training ground.

"4-3-3 will still be our main formation in the new season!"

"But we need to have a clearer definition of the roles of players on the court!"

Klopp divided the first-team players into two eleven-man teams, positioning them on both sides of the field in a 4-3-3 formation.

"Two full-backs, one for attack and one for defense."

"But I won't clearly define who attacks and who defends, because both of you have offensive capabilities."

“So we decided with the long ball.”

"When the team attacks, if the ball is passed to the right and Arnold passes the ball, Robertson on the left will press forward to participate in the attack. Arnold passes the ball diagonally to Robertson who is pressing forward."

"After completing the long pass, Arnold stayed behind and formed a defensive shape with the two central defenders, while Robertson started to advance with the ball and sought more cooperation with the central or wing forwards."

After Klopp finished speaking, Robertson and Arnold gave a thumbs up, indicating that they understood the tactical intentions. Then Klopp redefined the tactical roles of the three forwards.

"Last season, Firmino was responsible for passing the ball and organizing the game, and sometimes he also had to press forward to score."

"When Firmino or Solanke comes on in the new season, I want you to play the role of an all-round centre forward."

"I want you to focus on yourself, fully activate the midfielders behind you and the wingers on both sides of your body, and activate the entire offensive system."

The all-around center forward is an extremely important tactical role in modern football tactical concepts. Many teams are looking for this kind of center forward, and Klopp believes that Firmino is a typical example of this kind of center forward.

Firmino nodded and began to look around the field, measuring the distance. He had to make sure that his position could always form a close connection with his teammates around him.

"For the two wingers of the team, Mane or Salah, in the new season, you will frequently get one-on-one or one-on-two opportunities on the wing through the involvement of the three midfielders."

"I want to see you dare to use your breakthrough ability on the wing, so that the Premier League can see how strong your explosive ability is."

When Klopp said this, he had already touched upon the most crucial point of the new tactics, which is the arrangement of the three players in the midfield.

After introducing Fabinho and Rodri, plus the remaining players in the team, Henderson, Wijnaldum and Lin Chen, Klopp is very clear that Liverpool's midfield configuration is now very high.

Since the team has a high level of configuration and the players are capable, we must bring out these advantages and avoid weaknesses.

"In the new season, we will play with an irregular three-midfielder formation, which can be a single defensive midfielder or a double defensive midfielder."

"When the team is attacking, the midfielder will be single defensive midfielder, Henderson will be in the middle and behind, and the other player, no matter who starts, must move forward and stay diagonally behind Lin Chen to share the pressure of the football with him."

"Henderson started the attack for the team when he was in the single defensive midfielder position, choosing long passes, turning to the left and right sides, and delivering the ball to the two wingers."

"I saw your long pass skills in the World Cup. You have developed them well."

Henderson smiled. He had indeed developed his long pass skills in the World Cup and mastered a very accurate and oppressive long pass method.

"Lin, you are the player who needs to be at the front of the midfield. You are responsible for providing firepower to the frontcourt. In the new season, you will be mainly responsible for the right and middle offensive directions, forming more connections with Firmino and Salah."
