Chapter 367 Klopp's tactics and hesitation
On April 4th, Mr. Bai Xiaolang, who said he would do what he said, was beaten into autism by Manchester City, and his rhetoric failed to come true.
Mo Yang watched the whole game, and he didn't see whether Bielsa had found Manchester City's defensive weakness.
But Guardiola really caught the pain point of Leeds United, and beat Leeds United to the Etihad, directly scoring a 5-1 score.
On April 4, Liverpool was a guest at the Hawthorns against West Bromwich Albion in the round of 21.
West Bromwich Albion, which was still hovering in the middle of the Premier League rankings last season, is really miserable this season.
So far in the league, they are at the bottom of the list and have just accumulated 20 points.
Although West Brom is the bottom one, Klopp did not dare to carry out a large-scale rotation.
In the last round, Manchester United was upset by West Bromwich Albion 1-0 at Old Trafford, and the lessons learned are vivid.
This also reminded Klopp, don't underestimate these dying teams.
Recently, the Premier League has been full of upsets, all of which are fairy games played by teams on the verge of relegation.
Last week Chelsea were tied at home by West Ham United, and Newcastle beat Arsenal 2-1 at home within a few days.
This has also allowed countless fans and the media to see how terrifying the energy of these struggling teams is.
But for the first round match against Rome on the 25th, Mo Yang still failed to start.
And Salah, who has been holding back for more than a week, finally got his wish.
At the beginning of the game, this guy was like a runaway wild horse, very active on the right, frequently asking for the ball to attack West Bromwich Albion's defense, but he was taught to be a man by his intensive defense.
Although West Bromwich Albion have been relegated with a high probability, they still showed an unyielding will and their defense was very tough.
Although Liverpool's offensive was raging, there were no goals in the first half.
It wasn't until the 62nd minute of the second half that Mo Yang was replaced by Klopp. In less than 5 minutes, Mo Yang broke through the middle to attract defensive attention and split sides, assisting Salah to break West Brom's goal.
Salah's goal officially broke the Premier League single-season record of 31 goals held by Shearer, Ronaldo and Suarez, and also created a new Premier League single-season record of his own.
The guy was so happy that he took off his jersey again and ran all over the field to celebrate.
It was also the only goal of the game.
After the game, the Liverpool team conducted closed preparation training.
On April 4, Mo Yang watched the FA semi-final in the base dormitory.
This game was beyond Mo Yang's expectations. Manchester United did not conduct a large-scale rotation for the Europa League, not even a half-rotation. It is a relatively complete main lineup.
But Leeds United tenaciously resisted Manchester United's offensive, and frequently posed a great threat to Manchester United's goal with the help of two wings, directly dragging the game into overtime, and it was about to enter the cruel penalty shootout stage. .
As a result, in the last minute of the second half of overtime, Bai Lele, who was dormant and accumulating energy, suddenly launched a long-distance long-distance attack from the backcourt, passing Herrera, Valencia, Lingard and others, and then singled out Germany. Gea.
As a result, although he was overthrown by De Gea, he also won a lore penalty for Leeds United, which helped Leeds United reach the FA Cup final with a narrow risk, and will decide the outcome with Chelsea .
……
On the 23rd, the Melwood training base.
After the simple daily training in the morning, Klopp gathered Mo Yang and the others in the multimedia tactical classroom.
The tactical training against Roma has almost been practiced in the past few days. Today will be the last tactical review to help the players deepen their impression.
"During the European journey to the semi-finals, Roma overwhelmed Chelsea and Atletico Madrid to become No. [-] in the group, and even the mighty Barcelona giant overturned them."
"Guys, I hope you can learn the lesson of the second round against Juventus. There is absolutely no team that can enter the knockout stage of the Champions League. Believe me!"
In front of Mo Yang and others sitting in rows, Klopp spoke slowly, but his face was extremely serious, "I have already analyzed it for you just now. Although the Roma team also has skilled ground offensive skills, but Their advantage in offense is in the air."
"You have also seen the highlights of Rome's attack that were shown to you just now."
After the words fell, the projection screen behind Klopp flashed, and a statistical table appeared.
Klopp turned sideways, pointing at the table with a slender stick in his hand, and said: "In this season's Champions League, Roma's success rate in the competition for the top reached 59.6%. They are the first among the semi-finals of the Champions League, even Real Madrid with Ronaldo No better than Rome."
"In all their Champions League games they won 124 aerial duels and Dzeko, a high center forward, scored 38 and he only lost 11 aerial duels.
"Six of Roma's 15 goals in the Champions League this season came from Bosnian center Dzeko, so you must stay in the defensive position in time during the game, and you must not relax a little bit, especially the defense against high-altitude balls, otherwise That would be a disaster."
Hearing Klopp's words, Mo Yang also had a headache.
He likes the opponent to play ground pass the most, which will be more used and comfortable for Liverpool, who like to press.
"If Real Madrid's reliance on Ronaldo is their most lethal weapon, then Roma's reliance on Dzeko can be said to be their major weakness."
After analyzing the strengths of Rome, Klopp began to explain the weaknesses of Rome.
"In the 10 UEFA Champions League games Roma participated in so far, Dzeko failed to score or assist in two games, and in these two games Roma was precisely blocked by their opponents. This is their weakness."
"So we only need to restrict Roma's other players from helping Dzeko through high-position pressing and pressing as in previous games, and cut off their connection with Dzeko to curb their offense..."
Klopp's explanation soon ended.
Next, Pete explained to Moyang and the others in detail how to use the speed of Salah and Mane to frequently attack Roma's formation on offense, how to make Dzeko exhausted and reduce the threat of this Bosnian on the offensive end.
Klopp sat aside.
Although this draw is a good one for Liverpool, Klopp knows very well that his defense line will still have a certain amount of pressure facing Roma.
Lovren, Klavan, Matip, Gomez, who is the best partner for Van Dijk?
In the past few days of closed training, he has been observing the state of several central defenders in the team, but he is not very satisfied, so he has been hesitant.
Lovren has rich defensive experience and good defensive ability, but he likes to make some inexplicable mistakes occasionally.
And Gomez has speed, defense, and body, but he is too young. In such an important game, he is afraid that Gomez, who lacks experience in major competitions, will be targeted by Roma. It will be bad if he fails to withstand the pressure.
Matip is very good, but this guy seems to have grown a forward heart recently, and he always likes to show off his feet with the ball forward.
I won't say anything about Klavan, it's not stable enough, and it's very good to play as a substitute.
As for the position of the goalkeeper, there is nothing to say, Alisson must be, he was really scared by Karius.
After the game against Juventus, Klopp has strengthened his determination to set Karius as the second goalkeeper. He doesn't want to play heartbeat in the game anymore.
Afraid of sudden death!
As for the two full-backs, Robertson must be on the left. This guy's desperate fighting spirit amazed Klopp, and his assist ability is not weak.
The right side made Klopp hesitate. He wanted to play Gomez a little bit. He was afraid that the young Arnold would not be able to bear the pressure, but he was a little reluctant to insert Arnold's offensive ability on the side.
