football career from scratch

Klopp is completely happy to see the situation where the Premier League is starting to become chaotic.

Liverpool lost too many points in the first half of the season, and it is almost impossible to win the championship-Chelsea is still [-] points ahead of them, and Manchester City is also [-] points ahead of them. It is very difficult for two teams to lose the chain at the same time, not to mention that Liverpool is not third or fourth, but seventh...

They have lost seven games in the league so far. It seems that there is no record in the four major leagues that they have lost so many games and still won the championship. Generally speaking, the champion with a bigger advantage loses three games in a season. In the league, Chelsea have only lost two games, and Manchester City have only lost three games. They are the most like champions. Manchester United, who lost four games, and Arsenal, who lost five games, both seem to be worse.

It's just that under such a chaotic situation, Liverpool, which is relatively late, is easy to be ignored. Under such circumstances, Klopp may not know this idiom, but it will not hinder him. make such a judgment.

Liverpool's next opponents are not easy to deal with. After all, there are too many good teams in the Premier League, and there are also many difficult teams. The previous three consecutive games were weaker opponents, and Liverpool also won it smoothly. Then the next Of course, Liverpool will face some good opponents in the game.

In the 24th round, they played away against their city derby rival Everton.

25 rounds against Tottenham, which is ranked above them.

Round of 26 away game against Southampton.

27 rounds against Manchester City at home.

None of these four opponents are easy to fight. Tottenham ranks sixth, but they are also strong contenders for the top four. Southampton and Manchester City are both top four teams, and Manchester City is a strong contender for the championship. It wasn't until after these four rounds that there was a chance to play against mid-lower teams like Burnley and Wansea in a row, followed by consecutive matches against Manchester United and Arsenal...

After this hurdle, most of the remaining opponents are weak teams, and there is only one Chelsea that has not yet played among the strong teams.

Now Klopp doesn’t have any plans. The plan can’t keep up with the changes. It’s nothing more than fighting hard against strong teams and trying to get more points. When facing weak teams, he must win and strive to be among the top Fourth, as for the league championship, there is no hope for the time being.

Now Liverpool is full of momentum, and the momentum is also very good. The only thing that makes Klopp a little worried is that since Bu Qingyun started these games, other attackers have scored goals, only the top scorer Sturch has scored one goal in a row. No goals, but the performance was worse than before.

Although he missed a game, in these few games, the number of times Sturki took the ball and the number of times he created threatening offenses dropped significantly, which is the key.

As for why this happened, Klopp is also well aware.

Just because of one thing, Sturge also wants to get a lot of balls, and now there is one more Bu Qingyun, who has taken away a lot of ball rights. In terms of two points, it is worse than Ferno Cuneo and others, so it is more difficult to receive Bu Qingyun's pass.

Although this point has not been exposed yet, there is no problem in the team, and Sturki himself seems to have not thought of this point, but Klopp knows that this scene must have fallen into the eyes of caring people.

Therefore, in the next few days of training, Klopp consciously began to give in to Qingyun and Stuart taking turns to attack with the ball. What competition, Klopp's arrangement, is well reflected on the training ground.

However, the results of the training did not help to solve the problem. When Bu Qingyun had the ball and when Sturki had the ball, Liverpool's offense was completely in two rhythms. Although Bu Qingyun could play fast, but he In his bones, he is still a player who wants to control the ball more and attack more, but what about Sturkey?His most glorious season was the season when Liverpool thoroughly implemented the counterattack and fast attack. That is to say, only in the rhythm of fast attack can he exert his full ability!

In the past, he was able to cooperate well with Lana because Lana can also play very fast. His passing and organizational skills are far inferior to Bu Qingyun, but he can work well with Sturki.

Bu Qingyun is not a perfect substitute for Lana, but a player with a strong personal style!
This made Klopp feel a little worried-if the fight continues like this, will it be okay?

Sure enough, his worries became reality after the start of the next game.

Everton's ranking is No.12. They haven't played very well this year, and their ranking is very mediocre. However, as Derby opponents, they attach more importance to this game than other ordinary opponents.

In this game, Everton used heavy troops to cut off the connection between Bu Qingyun and Ferno, Cuneo and Marne, interfering with Bu Qingyun, and leaving Sturki empty, basically not focusing on marking , this kind of tactics played a very good effect. Bu Qingyun was forced to cooperate with Sturki, who was far away from him, but after receiving the pass from Bu Qingyun, Sturki would hardly pass it. Come back, but rely on personal ability to attack. Under such circumstances, Everton's defense is very easy. After all, it is very easy to defend a particularly obvious offensive point.

Sturkey doesn't have to be alone like this. He still passes the ball in many cases, but this is the situation in this game. He has no passing route, and his teammates are under the strict marking of the opponent. On the contrary, the defense I often only have one or two defensive players. Under such circumstances, how could Sturkey, who considers himself Liverpool's top card, not believe in his personal ability more?
It's a pity that his personal ability still has a clear gap compared with Liverpool's top striker Suas...

After 10 minutes, the Liverpool fans left the home team's stadium with a sigh. They failed to see a victory, although they did not lose, but in the case of three consecutive victories, a zero to zero is not enough Satisfy their appetites.

When Klopp left the Toffees' pitch, he was thoughtful.

Stuart was very frustrated. Today he got a lot of chances, more than in the previous games, but he didn't bring a single goal. In addition to the previous games, he has failed in seven rounds of the league. A goal was scored. For a team's leading striker, such a performance is simply unforgivable.

In fact, after the game, the media did put all their firepower on Sturkey - other people performed fine, only Sturkey kept wasting opportunities, and even the rookie Bu Qingyun kept passing the news. The ball is given to him, and every ball is passed to the position. If you can't score by yourself, who can be blamed?

Sturkey is not a good-tempered player, in fact, his temper is a bit weird, but even he himself can't blame Bu Qingyun.

Bu Qingyun passed him a lot of balls, which was his own problem.

Klopp knew that he had to make a decision.

Sturki is indeed a very important part of Liverpool, but recently his state is really too bad, and the media attacks are also very fierce, he is not a striker with a good mentality, whether it is personal ability or overall performance, He is only a negative number to the current Liverpool, so there is no point in using him...

The world of professional football is so cruel.

Three days later, a striker who has played for Liverpool for more than five years and scored more than [-] goals sat on the bench for the first time when he was not injured or ill.

Klopp changed his formation in this game, from four-four-two to four-five-one. Ferno advanced alone. Of course, his characteristics are not the center forward at the front. His running position will be Very flexible.

Behind him are Cuneo, Bu Qingyun and Marne, three attacking midfielders. Although they are all attacking midfielders, their responsibilities are different. Cuneo has a wide range of activities, whether it is in the middle or on both sides. , there will be his figure, and Bu Qingyun has to take on the heavy responsibility of attacking and passing. Marne's position is slightly behind, but he must continue to attack forward. It reflects the characteristics of those who can do more work, showing the trend of modern football.

Behind them is the double midfielder combination of captain Helder and Verdum. Helder intercepts horizontally and Verdum sprints back and forth. This combination is the most common one now, although both of them are a bit defensive. But it's not outrageous.

On the defense line, the vice-captain Karg, who has returned from injury, and the Finnish defender Haija partner in the central defender position. The two sides are Mir and Morey. They will continue to go forward to respond to assists, but these two people are very capable of going forward. , the crossing level is a little worse, but anyway, there is no center forward in the penalty area, so it doesn't matter.

This is Klopp's painful experience, based on the training and personnel composition during this period, he came up with the most realistic tactics.

And their opponent is currently ranked fifth, and also suppressed Arsenal by one point, and Tottenham Hotspur, which is only one point behind the top four.

Although Liverpool drew again in the last round, they are actually only four points behind Tottenham.

This game is extremely crucial.

Being able to win Tottenham at home means that Liverpool has begun to approach the top four infinitely. Only by entering the top four can Liverpool be regarded as having no worries.

In the last game, Klopp can look at it again. One point and two points are not a big problem, but in this game, Klopp must use all his strength to win.

This will also be the first time Liverpool's new tactics have appeared at Anfield.

The most experienced Liverpool fans seem to be unable to remember at this moment, when was the last time Liverpool adopted a single striker tactic, after all, they have always played double strikers...
