Football: The butcher in the midfield at the start, the magic bird stunned

Chapter 276
In the second half, 48 minutes, 4-0.

Liverpool fans didn't expect this score before the game, and neither did Roma.

The two famous England stars Gary Neville and Carragher broadcast on behalf of Sky Sports until now, as well as the guest commentator Henry, after Chen Xiaoliang scored the fourth goal, almost began to ignore the process on the field, and they were all discussing why it happened. Such an unexpected result, and why Liverpool suddenly lost their form this year after two cup titles and two heavyweight runner-ups last year, and the downturn has reached this point.

However, these three people discussed and discussed, but they didn't discuss the reason why in terms of tactics. After all, none of them are, and it is difficult to become a master of tactics.

Henry coached in Monaco and almost relegated this team that can often hit the Champions League in Ligue [-].

And Gary Neville coached Valencia for 4 months, won 16 games in 3 rounds, and only got 14 points. Since then, he has completely known that he is not a coach, and began to focus on investment. Interpreted with the media, and became a famous partner with Carragher, who also enjoyed playing here after retiring.

But although there is nothing to say tactically, the three of them were all very good players after all. Henry was once a legend who was close to the ceiling of football. On one point, they agreed on one point, that is, Liverpool's lineup too old.

Old age and poor performance lead to an old-fashioned mentality.

The most active of the three in the midfield is the 37-year-old Milner, while Fabinho is basically full defense and Elliott is basically full attack, which further strengthens the imbalance in the midfield.

On the Roma side, under the large-scale running of Chen Xiaoliang and Enzo one after the other, the 34-year-old Matic only needs to act as a barrier in front of the penalty area and play the role of a metronome when the ball is played in the backcourt. The two young Man completely overwhelms his weakness of being old and slow.

It is conceivable that if Matic is allowed to run back and forth in the midfield like Milner, covering everywhere, then Roma's midfield will also collapse.

除了这三人外，其余的常规主力球员里，萨拉赫30岁、菲尔米诺31岁、亨德森32岁、蒂亚戈31岁、范戴克31岁、马蒂普31岁、阿利松30岁。

An important part of Klopp's reputation is his counterattack after high pressing.

Unlike Mourinho's method of relying on a large retreat to attract the opponent's forward pressure, thereby obtaining a large-scale deep counterattack space behind the opponent's position, and finally advancing to the opponent's back to counterattack through speed, Klopp believes in the way he played at Manchester United last season. Interim coach Ralf Rangnick admired high pressing and zone marking in the Bundesliga for a time.

Although he is different from Tuchel who just got out of class from Chelsea, the latter has a serious mentoring relationship with Rangnick, while Klopp's teacher is former Mainz coach Wolfgang Frank, Klopp It has been said publicly that it was Frank who brought the ball-focused defense to Germany.

What does it mean to focus on the ball in defense?When Frank explained this tactic to Klopp, who was still a player, he showed him the coaching video of the famous generation of coach Sacchi, and of course the video of England coach Roy Hodgson when he was coaching in Switzerland.

Sacchi pioneered zone defense and high-position pressing, sublimating the defensive thinking that focused on people in defense to zone-marking that focused on the ball.

As mentioned before, this line of thinking has completely changed the development of modern football.

Although Sacchi, who won the Champions League twice, may not be as good as some other coaches, but this kind of coach who really changed the development of football is the real great figure.

This is also the reason why in 2013, the Ballon d'Or selection media "French Football" ranked him first among the 100 greatest football coaches of all time.

Behind him is Sir Alex Ferguson and the legendary Brazilian coach, the object of Guardiola's study, and Santana, who is known as the father of artistic football.

Behind them, there are Michels, the father of Total Football, who was named the greatest coach of the 1999th century by UEFA in 20, and his disciple Cruyff and others.

Even in the rankings of "442", "90 Minutes" and other authoritative magazines that place a higher weight on the number of champions, although Sir Alex Ferguson is ranked first, these coaches are still behind him.

Their innovations in football tactics, club management concepts, youth training, etc. are far more dazzling than the remaining champions, shining like a beacon for their younger generations to continue to forge ahead in the vast ocean of football.

Klopp's tactics are derived from Sacchi and carried forward in the hands of Rangnick and others to press high. Wherever the ball is grabbed, he will launch a counterattack on the spot.

In fact, this is a tactic that Chen Xiaoliang likes very much. Even Gerrard once used Chen Xiaoliang as a "mad dog" central midfielder in the Glasgow Rangers. Make a high press.

But listening to this style of play, you know that he executed it at the cost of great physical strength and running.

With Liverpool's current overall age, it is completely impossible to maintain an oppressive high position for most of the entire game. This also led to their offense, just like tonight, mostly organized from the backcourt. Then slowly pass back and forth in the frontcourt, trying to find a gap.

This ball-holding style of play is actually very difficult, and it has extremely high requirements on the personal ability and tactical quality of the players. Although Guardiola, who is the most slick in football today, led Manchester City to win 5 Premier League titles in 4 years, There is still no way to replicate the great cause of leading the team to the Champions League in Barcelona.

What kind of food goes with what kind of food, and if the raw material of 10 yuan has to be made into shark fin, then you can only buy fans to pretend to be it.

In the Premier League, Liverpool has the League Cup to play before the winter window, and the FA Cup to play after the winter window, plus the Champions League. It is obviously unreasonable to expect such a lineup to cope with the third-line battle for a whole season.

而罗马这边，马蒂奇34岁、维纳尔杜姆30岁、克里斯坦特27岁、佩莱格里尼26岁，恩佐21岁、沃尔帕托19岁、陈小亮18岁，甚至29岁的迪巴拉也可以充当前腰。

A reasonable age structure brings obvious complementarity. Young people have vitality to complement experience, and veterans use experience to match vitality.

However, in the final conclusion, the two partners had obvious differences.

Carragher firmly believes that Klopp's experience and ability will help Liverpool to come out. In addition, there is a one-month break in the World Cup and the winter window can still make up for it. Liverpool, who are currently eighth in the league, did not lag behind too much in the first half of the season. It is absolutely possible to hit the top 8 in the league.

And Gary Neville believes that Liverpool's lineup, not only the midfield, but also the back line is also a big problem. This season's summer window has not been adjusted, and there is no chance to improve in the future. It is very likely that it will get out of hand and sink out. Top 10 in the league.

However, he also feels that as long as the board trusts Klopp and gives him the necessary support, Liverpool will still make a comeback next season.

They both asked Henry whose opinion he felt he agreed with more.

Henry shook his head and smirked, and then said: "Arsenal is the champion!"

The three of them made jokes, and they understood the effect of the program in the one-sided game commentary.

It seemed that Klopp couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to make adjustments, let Firmino, who was doing nothing on the left, off the field, and replaced him with the young Luis Dias, and asked him before the latter came on the field Strengthen the activities on the left flank, and cooperate more with the isolated and helpless Nunez.

To put it bluntly, Klopp himself knew that this game was hopeless, so he simply used it to practice the cooperation between the newcomers.

At the same time, he also replaced Milner, who seemed to be unable to run, and replaced him with Thiago to strengthen the pass control in the middle.

On Mourinho's side, seeing Klopp's substitutions, he also made adjustments.

He replaced Kwa, who was amazing in this field, with Shalawi, and Matic with Pellegrini, and asked Chen Xiaoliang to move back to kick the midfielder.

It was only 50 minutes, and Kwa was very puzzled about his fate, but when he walked to the sideline, Mourinho stepped forward and hooked his back, praised and encouraged him, and said that he would continue to play in the next game. Starting the game, keeping your strength and so on, instantly made Kwa full of confidence.

But others didn't hear the conversation between the two, and Foti also felt puzzled, why did they change after they played well, and Shalawi hadn't played in the game for a long time.

Mourinho explained: "The season is very long. Everyone has the opportunity to improve their status in the game. The situation of this game has been set. There is no need to kill them all. Losing Cesco, we must protect Kwa."

But after listening to Foti, he only felt that the words of his immediate boss were a little insincere.

He turned his head to look at Klopp, who was yelling and directing the players on the other side, and seemed to understand.

Protecting Kwa is true... Protecting Klopp is true too...

If we don't stop today's game, it will have to go beyond the 36-3 victory over Liverpool with 1 shots against Manchester United. After the game, he will be dismissed from class, and then he will go to Liverpool for an away game. Where can there be fat?

But if Liverpool can't hold on to such a substitution, then he can't be blamed.

Killing and killing... Killing and killing...

And Chen Xiaoliang, who returned to the midfielder position, switched positions with Enzo. Chen Xiaoliang went to the left half, Enzo transferred to the right half. Mourinho did this mainly because he wanted to focus on Salah.

On the field, Luis Dias, who was replaced, was in very good condition, so good that Liverpool fans cursed inwardly, why not let him start.

In the 52nd minute, Luis Dias advanced from the left, and Thiago and Elliott moved at the front of the penalty area, attracting Enzo's defense, which gave Liverpool the left winger a chance to single-handedly with Celik.

Although Celik's defense is solid, dealing with explosions is really not his strong point. Luis Diaz suddenly cut in to meet him from the left, and kicked a low-flat arc ball before Enzo went to double-team. Straight towards the far post.

The sudden kick sent Patricio unprepared for an instant save, but the inspin ball went right around his outstretched fingertips and into the far corner.

4 to 1, Liverpool scored a goal to save some face.

Seeing that their teammates were in good condition, Liverpool's subsequent offenses were consciously marching on the left. Thiago's entry and Chen Xiaoliang's retreat, one ebb and another, did make Liverpool a lot stronger in midfield offensive combing.

In the 56th minute, Luis Diaz made a comeback, faced Celik's frontal defense again, and suddenly cut inside the penalty area.

However, this time Enzo made preparations for assisting defense in advance, while Chen Xiaoliang moved slightly to the center to cover the gap in the center after Enzo moved to the right.

However, this time Luis Dias did not shoot. He pushed forward with his right foot and the ball rolled between Celik and Enzo. Nunes behind Enzo caught the kick with a diagonal thrust. Pass, and then turned around and shot at the goal before Smalling stretched his leg to block!
This is the first time that Liverpool's new aid has shot with his feet in a comfortable penalty area in this game!
Patricio went to the ground again to save, but this time the ball's internal spin still bypassed his fingertips.

not good!The old goalkeeper was startled, is he going to be scored by Liverpool so soon? !

After falling to the ground, he looked back, and the ball rolled out of the baseline half a meter away from the far post on the left behind him.

so close…

Patricio, with a calm face, and Smalling, who was defending Nunez in shock, looked at each other, thankfully the shot failed to score.

But they didn't expect that this trick would go so far as to be out of control.

Nunes seems to have found a feeling. Compared with Salah, who is heavily surrounded on the right, Luis Diaz, who is obviously energetic, is more in tune with him.

Therefore, he deliberately avoided the left central defender Gwadiol and the left midfielder Chen Xiaoliang who stood on the right to defend and were obviously more capable, and focused on Smalling's defense in the penalty area.

And Salah also saw Nunes' intentions. As long as the Uruguayan teammate moves to the left, he will run on the right side of the penalty area, so that Gwadior and Chen Xiaoliang, who are marking him, cannot easily run away to defend Nunes. s.

Coupled with Thiago's pass, this actually made Liverpool's frontcourt alive.

In the 61st minute, Luis Dias made a false run this time, pretending to take Celik away from the bottom, and Nunes directly received a pass from Thiago on the left side of the penalty area.

Smalling guarded him on the left front, while Enzo blocked him not far from the right front. One defended the bottom left foot to shoot from a small angle, and the other defended the inside cut right foot to shoot from the front.

Unexpectedly, Nunes directly took a step with his right foot, rubbed the shot directly with the instep, and shot to the far corner again!

With a height of 187 centimeters, two long legs, coupled with excellent physical fitness and the ability to start suddenly, Smalling had no time to react to this sudden shot.

Patricio swoops to the left again, but his fingertips still miss the ball!

After falling to the ground, the Roman goalkeeper turned his head again, and suddenly felt that the world had entered a loop. The ball "passed" at a distance of half a meter from the far post with almost the same trajectory as before.

After he got up, he saw Smolin looking at him, and the two looked at each other again, but this time the eyes were much less shocked than before, but there were more doubts about the situation—what's the situation with this kid?
During the pre-match tactical analysis meeting, the technical analysis team edited Nunes’ performance in Benfica’s UEFA Champions League last season. It was an overhead kick, close-range shots, speed, bounce, and confrontation. A proper all-round center. Liverpool bought Haaland's king-level transfer against Manchester City.

The coaching staff did not specifically indicate that he has the habit of shooting from far corners...

No, it is estimated that the samples collected by the coaching staff are not enough, we still have to be careful.

In the next 10 minutes, Roma also attacked twice, but compared to Kwa, Shalawi's explosive ability on the left is undoubtedly several grades weaker. Arnold, who was turned into Route 66 by Kwa, suddenly seemed to have installed a toll Standing the same way, he stopped Shalawi's attack several times.

If there is no comparison, there will be no harm. In this way, not only the fans of both sides know the cause of the problem, but also the head coaches of other teams and countless scouts who came to watch the game understand the fact that Kwa and Chen Xiaoliang have thrown twice. Losing Arnold is not only because of Arnold's own defensive ability and defensive attitude, but because these two people have shown super personal abilities today.

In Mourinho's set of 4-2-3-1, it is a typical configuration where one side of the winger goes down and one side of the winger cuts in. The advantage of this is that the bottom can pull the opponent's defense back. Cutting inside can tighten the defense line to the middle, and can flexibly adjust the opponent's defensive layout in terms of width and depth.

But now that Shalawi's side can't get to the bottom, it will be difficult to rely solely on Dybala's side to cut in to generate threats.

However, although the slump in offense allowed Liverpool's offensive to rise, it gave Roma's defense more opportunities to perform.

Especially the new loan aid Gwadiol, in the one-on-one with Elliott and Nunes, he clearly has the upper hand.

But it also hurt Smalling...

Carragher specifically mentioned Rome's central axis.

Cesco, Chen Xiaoliang, Enzo, Gwadio, the average age of this central axis is a terrible 20 years old, but together, it can be called the best central axis combination in Italy.

Now, on both sides of the frontcourt of this central axis, there are also wings such as Kwa and Dybala. Obviously, Liverpool fans seriously overestimated Liverpool's strength advantage over Roma before the game.

10 minutes later, Salah made another main attack, but he was unable to take advantage of his speed in the positional battle. He first cut inside to get rid of Malaysia's defense, and then faced Chen Xiaoliang, who came across the penalty area line to defend, He chose to avoid his edge and go straight into the penalty area, but Gwadior had already predicted in advance and blocked Salah.

The "Egyptian Pharaoh" was blocked in his way, and after a moment of hesitation, a foot from the rear left had already stretched out, stabbing away the ball that was protecting it with his left foot.

[Superstar mission: 5 times when Salah played the ball to complete the block or steal]

[Task progress: 2/5]

The ball rolled towards Malaysia, and the Dutch left-back kicked directly forward with a big kick.

Seeing that the head star Salah was in a tight siege and had no choice, the Liverpool midfielder once again directed the ball to the left where there were more opportunities.

This time it was still Luis Dias who responded and dribbled the ball obliquely to the middle of the penalty area. Nunes moved left from the penalty spot. As soon as he was in position, Luis Diaz passed the ball from near the top of the arc.

Still one-on-one with Smalling, Celik from outside the penalty area on the right rear immediately left Luis Diaz and rushed towards Nunes.

It is easy to be double-teamed by two people when shooting inside. This time Nunes chose to go down.

He swayed with his right foot and swayed with his left foot, Smalling was still half a beat behind!
Just this momentary gap is enough to make Nunes dodge half of his body to hit the goal!

On the corner of the small penalty area on the left, near the near corner, Patricio has moved to block the near post!
Smalling stretched his legs to block it, still thinking in his mind, should he shoot the ball to the upper corner, rub the post to hit the near corner, or pass the ball low and through the goalkeeper's wicket?
Unexpectedly, Smalling couldn't understand, Patricio was surprised, Klopp was speechless, and Liverpool fans in the stands doubted their lives.

Nunes pushed the ball hard with the back of his left foot and pushed the ball into the far corner!
Patricio didn't react at all from the neck down, only his head and eyes turned with the ball.

The ball swiped past him, past the goal, past the far post, and rolled, rolled, and rolled to Malasia.

In order to fulfill the former Portuguese super striker, Malaysia did not touch the ball, but let him roll... the touchline...

Lou Yichen: "Oh! Nunez's kick didn't look like a shot or a pass. In the end, none of the players on both sides touched the ball, and it rolled from the left side of the goal all the way out of the right sideline."

Liu Yue: "From the point of view of force, it should be a shot. He is in the small penalty area. If he crosses the goal line, he will not use such a large force. Besides him, there is no second person near the goal in the penalty area. Outflank point, Salah is still far away from the goal on the right side of the penalty area at this time, and Xiao Liang is also defending beside him, there is no room for inserting to grab points."

Lou Yichen: "If it was a shot, it would be a bit shocking. Luis Diaz, who just came on in the second half, was ordered in a critical situation. He conscientiously carried out the tactical orders of the head coach Klopp. He used dribbling and running on the left several times. Nunes opens the space and passes."

"Facing the 33-year-old England central defender Smalling, Nunez, who has an obvious advantage in speed and explosiveness, chose to hit the far corner three times in a row when he successfully swayed one-on-one, and all of them were crooked. He is stretching out his hand to apologize to his opponent, which will undoubtedly be a blow to the team's confidence and his own confidence."

The Liverpool players were walking to the right, waiting for Roma to take a throw-in, when out of nowhere, Luis Diaz and Enzo bumped into each other, tripped each other, and got up and clashed !
The referee Grande had his eyes on the sideline ball, but he realized something was wrong when he heard the commotion and booing from the fans in the stands. He immediately turned his head to look, blew his whistle and trotted over.

"Beep beep!"

Players from both sides who were close to each other ran over to try to separate the two of them, and suddenly a group of people gathered together and it was very lively.

Nunez, who was closest to the incident, also ran over. He stretched out his hands and tried to grab Luis Diaz, but he didn't expect to grab Luis Diaz. He grabbed his teammate with his hands in such a funny and embarrassing way. air…
