Chapter 85 Shield Front System

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

The establishment of the shield-front system is based on Firmino.

Firmino is also the founder of Shield Front.

What is shield front?

In Liverpool's system, the point of attack is not the so-called center, but the two wings.

Firmino's center position is more precisely the role of a 'false 9'.

Usually the 'false 9' needs to be responsible for retreating organization, transfer and ball delivery, providing more firepower to teammates on the two wings.

But among the tasks Klopp has arranged for Firmino, a more important task has been added.

That is the 'interception defense in the opponent's half'.

This is also the reason why Arsenal is in its current predicament.

In the first half of the season, this tactic was not perfected so Arsenal could win.

But now, they are facing a Liverpool team in its heyday.

The shield front system has just been developed and is beginning to show its power.

Mourinho also widened his eyes after hearing Lucky's explanation.

The main reason is that this system is unheard of and a little out of line.

Traditionally, the center should be the terminator of the offense, a scoring machine.

But with the complexity of modern football tactics, the center is also given the task of retreating, organizing and transferring. But if someone like Firmino grabs a pass in the frontcourt, and Arsenal is unable to parry it, this is not Mourinho. Rinho could accept the information in a short time.

He recalled the video of the Liverpool game in his mind.

When facing Manchester City, Liverpool won in the same way. Manchester City's passing and control system was useless.

In other words, passing control cannot kill this system.

Chelsea also took three points away when facing Liverpool.

Chelsea was also restrained in that game, and the counterattack still had no effect.

And this game proved once again that counterattacks are ineffective.

This time, Mourinho felt a little numb.

Can't pass the control?

Can’t fight back?

So how to kick?

Even though he is a world-famous coach and has excellent on-the-spot adaptability, Mourinho really couldn't think of any solution in a short time after facing the sudden information and problems with Liverpool's lineup.

"Sir, you need to figure out a way that we can hang on for a while in the second half."

After a pause, Lucai said solemnly, "If we can't think of a way, we can only lose this game!"

Mourinho's heart became heavy.

This time he was really hit hard by Klopp.

Mourinho took a deep breath and said, "In the second half, we will keep the original style of play and make sure we don't concede the ball and make appropriate counterattacks."

"We'll figure it out! That's right! We'll figure it out!"

After Mourinho finished speaking, he repeated it again as if to cheer himself up.

Lucky also began to rest and prepare for the second half of the game.

At the end of the intermission, the two sides returned to the field.

"After the first half, Liverpool led Arsenal 1:0, and judging from the feedback from the front, Arsenal did not make any changes. This shows that Mourinho is still very confident in this lineup!"

After Andy Gray finished speaking, his commentary partner Richard laughed and said, "Maybe he didn't find the problem."

After that, he continued; "In fact, so far, I don't know why Liverpool can play so well. In fact, they are pressing the whole field, and sometimes it even feels chaotic, but they play with great momentum. I I don’t want to believe that a team can win by relying on momentum, it’s too weird, but that’s how Liverpool won every game!”

"Now when facing Arsenal, they used this method to suppress Arsenal. Therefore, this is definitely not a so-called momentum issue. Klopp has given this Liverpool some magic that we can't see!"

As Richard said, many fans are also discussing what the secret of Liverpool's strength is.

However, they can't think of specific problems.

The camera moved to the coach's bench. Mourinho, who was restless, was sitting on the coach's bench. He put his notes on his lap, holding a pen in his right hand and holding his hair with his left hand, as if he had once been unable to solve mathematics. Question yourself.

Seeing this scene, they also understood that there was a high probability that Mourinho really had no way to solve the problem.

On the other side, Klopp was beaming.

He determined that no one could find out the problem with this tactic in the short term.

What's more, Arsenal has just been exposed to all this. Even if Mourinho is an excellent head coach, he can't do it.

Klopp is extremely confident about this.

At this time, Mourinho was scratching his head.

Solution!

Solution!

So, what is the solution?

Passing and controlling doesn’t work!

You can’t fight back!

So how to kick?

Should he be asked to develop a brand new way of playing now?

This is unrealistic!

Mourinho's eyes were a little red. He wrote Firmino in his notes and analyzed the opponent's various abilities.

Excellent scheduling ability!

Excellent passing vision!

Plenty of physical energy!

This guy is completely a midfielder!

Why did he go to the center?

"Damn it!"

Mourinho cursed bitterly.

At this time, the game in the arena is about to begin.

He saw Lucky looking at him.

Mourinho quickly regained his indifferent expression and nodded gently.

After Lucky turned around to prepare for the game, he started scratching his head again.

"So, how to solve the problem!

"

At this time, the competition in the arena also started.

Liverpool took the lead in attacking in the second half, as was the pattern in the first half.

Arsenal also continued their playing style in the first half.

The two sides once again engaged in a fierce midfield confrontation.

However, under Firmino's interception and pressure in the frontcourt, Arsenal's passing was very weak. This guy's running area was very wide and very active, which caused Arsenal to play a little timidly.

And after understanding Firmino's role, Arsenal was suppressed even more.

"Don't be affected by the opponent's rhythm! Hold your position!"

"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"

"Don't drop the ball in the backcourt, and make big kicks when you don't have to!"

Lucky kept reminding his teammates loudly, but the overall lineup was gradually suppressed.

And compared to the first half, it was even more uncomfortable!

"Damn it!"

Lucky cursed secretly.

If this continues, there will be problems.

However, they can only grit their teeth and wait for Mourinho to come up with a solution.

"A way! A way! A way! So what is this damn way?"

Mourinho's expression was a little ferocious at this time, he really couldn't think of a way.

Moreover, the current Arsenal cannot accept the overly complicated system and cannot perform it at all.

He can only make simple lineup changes with his players to achieve the purpose of breaking the game.

But the question is how to break the situation?

"How about we imitate them!"

Arteta said suddenly on the side.

This sentence made Mourinho stunned for a moment.

"Imitate them?"

Arteta said; "We are very good at pressing high, and we also have a shield forward similar to Firmino, although I don't know if he can be as good as Firmino!"

Hearing this, Mourinho blinked and turned to look at the bench.

He saw the Costa Rican player he had forgotten about, Campbell.

This player, known as Arsenal's 'immortal center', performed well in limited playing time last season.

Campbell's character has been completely transformed.

His strengths include retreating, transferring and playing the ball, and he has very good coordination ability with Aubameyang.

As for the interception ability, it is not clear because no one asked him to do it.

However, this guy is known as the 'immortal center'. He has abundant physical fitness and the advantage of being good at running, which may become a key link in interception.

So, the key to cracking Liverpool’s tactics is to play the same tactics as them?

Of course, Liverpool has many tactical details, which Arsenal cannot imitate.

But generally imitation is enough, just apply the same pressure to the opponent's half?

"That's right!"

Mourinho slapped his thigh, stood up immediately and turned around and shouted: "Campbell, go warm up!

"

Happiness comes too suddenly.

Campbell didn't even react before being urged out by the assistant coach to warm up.

At this time, Mourinho was staring at the field with bright eyes.

This may really become a key link in destroying Liverpool's tactics.

Let's play the same tactics and see who plays better.

Let's see who's defense is better.

Let's see who has better luck!

Take a gamble!
