Chapter 728: Shield system

Chapter 728 Shield system

The establishment of the shield forward system is based on the point of Firmino.

Firmino is also the founder of Shield Front.

What is shield front?

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

Firmino's center is more precisely the job of playing a "false number 9".

Usually the 'false number 9' needs to be responsible for the retreat organization, transfer and delivery of the ball, providing more firepower to the two teammates on the wing.

But in the work arranged by Klopp for Firmino, a more important work has been added.

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

This is why Arsenal are in their current predicament.

In the first half of the season, this set of tactics has not been perfected, so Arsenal can win.

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.

Hearing Lucy's explanation, Mourinho also widened his eyes.

The main reason is that this system is unheard of, and it is a bit super-class.

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

However, under the complex tactics of modern football, the center forward is also given the task of retreating, organizing and transferring, but like Firmino, he robs the frontcourt and grabs Arsenal a little bit. This is not Mu The information that Rinho can accept in a short time.

He recalled the Liverpool game video in his mind.

When facing Manchester City, Liverpool won the victory in the same way. Manchester City's pass control system is useless.

That is to say, transmission and control cannot kill this system.

Chelsea were also taken away three points when facing Liverpool.

Chelsea was also restrained in that game, and the counterattack was still ineffective.

And this game once again proved that counterattacks are ineffective.

Now, Mourinho is a little numb.

Can't transfer control?

Can't fight back?

So how do you kick it?

Even if he is a world-renowned coach, even if he has excellent on-the-spot adaptability, Mourinho really can't think of any solution in a short time after facing the sudden information and the problem of Liverpool's lineup.

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

Paused, Le Kai said solemnly; "If we can't think of a way, we can only lose this game!"

Mourinho's heart became heavy.

This time it was really hit hard by Klopp.

Mourinho took a deep breath and said; "In the second half, first...maintain the original style of play, and make sure to counterattack appropriately if the ball is not lost."

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

After Mourinho finished speaking, as if he was cheering himself up, he repeated one sentence again.

Lucky also began to rest, preparing for the second half of the game.

The intermission is over, and the two sides return to the field.

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

After Andy Gray finished speaking, Richard, the commentator partner on the side, laughed; "It may be that he didn't find the problem."

After all, he continued; "Actually, so far, I don't know why Liverpool can play so well. In fact, they are pressing the whole court, and sometimes they even feel a little chaotic, but they play with full momentum. Don't want to believe that a team wins on momentum, it's weird, but that's how Liverpool win every game!"

"Now facing Arsenal, they use this method to suppress Arsenal, so this is definitely not the so-called momentum problem. Klopp has given this Liverpool some magic that we can't see!"

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

However, they can't think of specific problems.

The camera shifts to the coaching bench. Mourinho, who is restless, is sitting on the coaching bench at this time. He puts the notes on his lap, holds a pen in his right hand, and grabs his hair with his left hand, as if he could not solve mathematics. Question yourself.

Seeing this scene, they also understand that there is a high probability that Mourinho really has no way to solve the problem.

On the other side, Klopp is full of joy.

He believes that no one can find out the problem with this tactic in the short term.

What's more, Arsenal has just come into contact with all this. Even if Mourinho is an excellent head coach, he can't do it.

In this regard, Klopp is extremely certain.

At this time, Mourinho was scratching his head.

Solution!

So, what exactly is the solution?

Passing and controlling won't work!

Counterattack will not work!

So how do you kick it?

Should he be asked to develop a new style of play now?

This is unrealistic!

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

Excellent scheduling ability!

Excellent passing vision!

Plenty of energy!

This guy is completely the attribute of the front midfielder!

Why did he go to the center.

"Damn it!"

Mourinho cursed bitterly.

At this time, the competition in the arena will also start.

He saw Le Kai looking at him.

Mourinho quickly recovered his indifferent expression and nodded slightly.

After Le Kai turned his head 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, just like the pattern in the first half.

And Arsenal also continued the way they played in the first half.

The two sides once again had a fierce midfield confrontation.

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

And after understanding the role of Firmino, Arsenal was suppressed even more ruthlessly.

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

"Pass! Pass the ball!"

"Don't pour the ball in the backcourt, and make a big clearance when you don't want it!"

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

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

"Damn it!"

Le Kai cursed secretly.

If this continues, something will go wrong.

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

"The way! The way! The way! So what's the **** way?"

Mourinho's expression was a bit grim at this time, and he really couldn't think of a way.

And the system is too complicated, the current Arsenal can't accept it, and can't play it at all.

He can only have the players under him and make simple lineup changes to achieve the goal of breaking the game.

But the question is how to break the game?

"Why not. Let's imitate them!"

Arteta on the side said suddenly.

This sentence made Mourinho stunned for a moment.

"Imitate them?"

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

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

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

This so-called Arsenal's "undead center" was a player who performed well in the limited playing time last season.

Campbell's character has been completely changed.

Retreating, transferring and playing the ball are his strengths, and he has a very good ability to cooperate with Aubameyang.

As for interception ability, not sure, because no one asked him to do it.

However, this guy is known as the 'running center', with abundant physical fitness and the advantages 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 in general imitation is enough, just need to apply the same pressure to the opponent's half?

"Exactly!"

Mourinho slapped his thigh, immediately got up and turned his head and shouted; "Campbell, go warm up!"

Happiness came too suddenly.

Campbell didn't even react, and was urged by the assistant coach to go out to warm up.

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

This may really be a key link in undermining Liverpool's tactics.

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

See whose defense is better.

Let's see who has better luck!
