What ball king, call me ball god

"Next is Liverpool's defense. Among the four main players, I want to focus on Arnold." Ten Hag walked to the projection screen and patted Arnold's face on the screen with his hands.

"Arnold is a player with a height of 1 meters and a weight of 8kg. He has a very obvious speed advantage on the field and can easily complete various sprints, overtaking and turning back. Therefore, Klopp's use of him is to use him in the direction of attacking the strong and defending the weak. .He can actually practice defense, but tactically we need him to assist offense. This is also a point we can use!"

"On the offensive end, Arnold's passing is very precise, and his right foot can send key assists to his teammates from any position in the frontcourt. In addition, Arnold also has a very good free kick skill, which can help the team in a stalemate situation However, Arnold has a little lack of experience on the defensive end and often needs his teammates to make up for him. He is also a typical defender who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Like Matip, he often has to help Arnold to make up for him. butt."

"The biggest characteristic of Liverpool's two full-backs is their speed. The left back Robertson is very fast, and the right back Arnold is faster. This has also been confirmed by Robertson himself. Arnold's sprint speed is even faster than Salah and Mane. And While taking into account the advantages of speed, Arnold's foot skills are not inferior. He can complete breakthrough crosses in various ways on the right, and can also play a perfect cooperation with Salah. Therefore, Liverpool's right attack is very good Strong, when the time comes, we must pay more attention to our left defense!"

"This season, Alexander-Arnold broke the Premier League defender's assist record with 12 assists. It can be said that Alexander-Arnold's key passes have become a regular weapon in Liverpool's offense. So when defending him, not only should pay attention to his speed, but also his passing ball Pay attention, too."

"After Gerrard retired, Liverpool's free kicks have lost a lot of threat. In the current Liverpool lineup, none of the strikers are good at free kicks, and most of the midfielders are engineering midfielders. With the rise of Trent Alexander-Arnold, he often took free kicks and corner kicks in the front field, and he did score free kicks."

"Having said so many advantages, his shortcomings are also obvious. It is still a problem of poor defense, and it is not only bad, he needs others to help him defend him! Arnold's offensive strength and weak defense are just the overall offense of Liverpool's lineup. He is very capable, so he sacrificed Henderson to make up for Arnold's defensive deficiencies, that is, to use offense instead of defense. Arnold's defensive ability is not strong in the first place, and he has a very eye-catching long pass ability from a defensive midfielder, 45 degrees The oblique pass is naturally not bad, but it is difficult for Arnold to keep up with the opponent's rhythm like a Zhengyin full-back when defending 1-on-1, because most of his tasks in the reserve team were to help defend. He couldn't react, which led to him being easily passed by the opposing player in the game. When Mourinho was coaching Manchester United, Arnold was successfully passed by Rashford twice in a game and resulted in conceding the ball. This is Arnold's defensive ability Bad proof."

"So when the time comes, Lin, you can spend more time on the left."

Ten Hag looked at Link Kedi, who immediately nodded in understanding.

Then Tadic will definitely switch places with himself more.

Link also looked at Tadic, and Tadic nodded at Link as well, as if making a secret signal.

Ten Hag went on.

"Next is what our defense needs to listen to! Focus on listening, and also listen to the midfield."

After Ten Hag finished speaking at the beginning, he felt something was wrong, and quickly added another sentence later.

"Liverpool's starting center forward is Firmino. He is a very special center forward. When defending from the front, our central defenders and midfielders must pay attention to some content. Firmino's dribbling ability is really good, but In terms of speed and physical confrontation, Firmino actually does not have the advantage, we can focus on this aspect and increase physical strength."

"Firmino is the pioneer of Liverpool's high-position pressing tactics. When the opponent's defender has the ball, he will immediately press it, so as to catch the opponent's mistakes and organize the attack. When Liverpool is attacking, Firmino is in order to ensure safety. In the state of holding the ball, he had to retreat to the center circle. When facing some top defenders, Firmino would even return to the backcourt to catch the ball. The point is also something we can target. Firmino is just an organizer similar to the No. 8 position. There is a lot of difference between the center forwards, but due to the lack of creativity in Liverpool's midfield, Firmino had to sacrifice himself and use more running to make up for the team's shortcomings. Therefore, his performance also determines the quality of Liverpool's offense , Once Firmino does not perform well, Liverpool's offense may not be able to launch."

"I have said so much, not to criticize Firmino, but to find us a way to deal with him. After I have said so much, it is obvious that when we are defending, we must limit Phil. Mino, due to his positioning problem, our players who defend him frontally should fall to Van der Beek to the two midfielders."

"The next thing is the most important person in Liverpool, Salah. Salah's statistics last season and this season are very good, but what I want to say here is, don't worry about him, although he is the most important player in Liverpool. An important player, but we don't have to worry too much about him. The reason is also very simple-"

At this point Ten Hag paced to the left of the screen.

"Liverpool's two wings are very strong. Mane and Salah are not wingers in the simple sense, but inside forwards with the ability to confront and cut inside. Compared with Mane, who is physically explosive, Salah He's excellent upper body strength can indeed improve his ability to protect the ball, but because he pays too much attention to the exercise of upper body strength and neglects the strength of lower body, it is difficult for him to shoot accurately in the confrontation. This sentence is not a contradiction In terms of, yes, Salah scored a lot of goals, but it is also a fact that he can't fight against accurate shots."

"Salah's shooting problem is not small. What he is best at is to finish the shot after holding the ball forward. The ball passed to him by his teammates must be adjusted by himself in order to exert power. If Salah is allowed to shoot, his shot The accuracy will be very poor. The reason why he can score so many goals in Liverpool is also because his running awareness and explosive power are world-class, or it can be understood that Salah has the body of a winger and the ability of a center forward, so He scored so many goals at Liverpool."

"So when we deal with Salah, what we need to do is very simple, just like what we usually do, put on strength, put on confrontation, don't let him take the ball comfortably, as long as he doesn't take the ball too much the first time. Shun, then believe me, he can't score this ball!"

"In the end, it's Liverpool's midfielder. In fact, Liverpool's midfielder has nothing to say, because their midfielders are not the kind of creative players. Their midfielder is the one that implements Klopp's tactical system most thoroughly. Position. For example, if you talk about Henderson, you will think of his hard work and mental attributes, but when it comes to his skills, please, don’t talk about this. So, we don’t have to worry too much about Liverpool’s midfield. Henderson’s versatility It’s just because of his good physical fitness that he can cover nearly half of the court, but in terms of handling some details, Henderson is much worse, such as Henderson’s ability to hold the ball and break through when the backcourt is surrounded by opponents and cannot play the ball. Very bad, the number of breakthroughs in a season can be counted on the fingers. So when facing him, we don't need to take special measures!"

"Okay, I've finished talking about the key figures, and I've finished talking about some points facing Liverpool. I don't know what everyone thinks, but the more I talk, the more confident I am, the more I talk, the more I believe that we can win, but the fact is that tomorrow's On the field, we follow the steps, be ourselves, and go to the field to play, then the final champion will be ours!"

Ten Hag looked at all the players.

Eyes firm.

"I believe everyone knows that this may be the last game that our group of people will gather together, so don't leave any regrets, everyone will fight hard, put in all our efforts, and the champion will be ours!" (end of this chapter)
