Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 928 Ruthless Killer!
The world recognizes that the traditional British style of 442 parallel positions has long been outdated.

The main reason comes from two points. The first is the offensive crushing of the popular three midfielders against the parallel double midfielders, and the second is the lack of threat of wing crosses.

Now Situ Yunbing is letting Liverpool play the retro 442, and the formation position basically has nothing new for the local fans of the King Power Stadium.

Nowadays, many teams in the British Championship still maintain this style of play.

Because it is simple, because in the British Championship that pays more attention to confrontation, this style of play can create more chaos.

Situ Yunbing has no advanced pursuit of skills and tactics, at least he has never been a groupie since his first defeat in coaching Monaco.

Looking at the present, if he can have centers like Bierhoff and Vieri, why doesn't he play the tactic of rushing from the side?
Are tactics obsolete?

At a certain stage, in a certain era background, it will indeed.

Just like in the era when the beasts walked all over the ground, the front midfielders of the strong offensive and weak organizations are no longer welcome, but now?

The truly talented front midfielders are very rare, but they are priceless!

Lewandowski and Mbappe, one tall and one fast, are in line with the personnel requirements of the traditional British 442 tactics.

But obviously in terms of ability, they are all top-notch!
In addition, Liverpool's tactical appearance is 442, but the connotation also has the foundation they have built over the past few years.

It can't be said how powerful the threat is, but at least it won't be said that it has no combat effectiveness because of the outdated tactics.

Leicester City couldn't figure out what medicine Liverpool was selling in the gourd, so they stood still at home and defended.

Gareth Bale returned to the left side when he made his debut, and Sane came to the right side to facilitate a right-footed cross.

Liverpool's offensive play is extremely simple.

Henderson and Kanter pay more attention to defense. After the offensive and defensive transition, pass the ball to the wing and it's over. Henderson doesn't need to go forward, just be alert to Leicester City's offense near the center circle.

When Gareth Bale and Sane advance from the side, if the opponent has only one person to defend, they will directly try to break through individually, and the success rate is not low!
If Leicester City has two players laying down the zone to snipe, then Liverpool's full-backs will immediately step forward to support, or quickly transfer to the other side of the attack.

After rushing to the appropriate 45-degree crossing position in the frontcourt, Liverpool will send the cross.

Lewandowski and Mbappe maintain a certain distance between the front and back layers and the horizontal direction, so that they can attack when they advance, and they can respond when they retreat.

After Leicester City successfully defended a few times at the beginning, they began to prepare a threatening counterattack. Compared with being frantically intercepted by Liverpool in the midfield, today at the King Power Stadium, they were able to easily advance past halftime.

But it is very difficult to play pass and cut cooperation from the middle.

The only chance is to play sideways, but even if the sideways advance is successful, it is still necessary to have teammates in the middle to support or grab points to really create a threat.

Van Dijk, Coulibaly, and Kanter have helped Liverpool improve their defense to an impenetrable level in the recent period!
Leicester City pursues to play fast, so when the last pass is made, there is no surprise at the point of the central support, basically exposed to Liverpool's vision.

Liverpool's defense is naturally impeccable.

Liverpool did not play very aggressively in the away game, but Leicester City's counterattack was a bit thunderous and rainy.

And when Leicester City's counterattack was frustrated, Liverpool's wing fast breaks followed one after another!

In the 24th minute of the game, Koulibaly cleared the ball in the penalty area and sent it out of the penalty area. Henderson stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area and turned the ball. Then he turned halfway and swept the ball to the right side of the backcourt.

After catching the ball, Sane turned around and started to accelerate the attack. Leicester City immediately had players assisting the side. Pass the ball straight to the foot.

Mbappe has already run to the right side of the penalty area. With his back, Cruyff turned around and faked to deceive the Leicester City defender, and then cut the ball into the penalty area. When other defensive players rushed towards him , Mbappe suddenly accelerated the ball towards the bottom line, and then suddenly picked the ball and passed it to the back of the goal.

Lewandowski quickly rushed to meet the falling football header and sent the ball into the empty goal in front of him!

Liverpool head start at the King Power Stadium!

The generals of Leicester City are very unwilling!
Liverpool is actually not as domineering and wild as it was some time ago today. They think they have every chance to get points from Liverpool at home!

When Leicester City began to change from a counterattack to an active pressing attack, Liverpool took advantage of the trend to counterattack and caught Leicester City by surprise.

In the 35th minute of the game, Arnold made a diagonal pass from the right side of the backcourt and sent the ball directly behind Leicester City's back line!

Gareth Bell on the wing took the lead and quickly went forward and successfully reversed offside!

The heroic Gareth Bale who ran wildly made many fans of Situ Yunbing feel in a trance, as if seeing the Monkey King who played left winger in Monaco and the early days of the Red Army!
Gareth Bale didn't make any adjustments after stopping the ball in the wide area in front of the penalty area, and sent a pass directly to the ground.

Mbappe also succeeded in anti-offside in the middle, leaving the Leicester City defender behind him in a wild run.

When responding to Gareth Bale's pass, Mbappe easily pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
The goalkeeper was caught off guard!

When Mbappe scored, he pointed to Gareth Bale and smiled.

Another victory for Liverpool at the King Power Stadium!
Situ Yunbing is satisfied with the team's performance, but he can also see the flaws in this style of play.

If the opponent does not seek victory like Mourinho's team, but seeks undefeated, Liverpool's offensive threat will be greatly reduced.

After all, when the opponent wants to win and must take risks, Liverpool's wing advance will be faster than before, and the advantage of anti-offside will be great!

Leicester City were a bit stunned and didn't take any more risks until the end of the first half.

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing readjusted the team's central play style.

If the opponent is unwilling to take risks, then the team that must take greater risks must be Liverpool!
Because Liverpool's pursuit is to get 3 points, not 1 point.

So he needs Henderson to play completely B2B, Kanter's defensive coverage is expanded, Van Dijk and Coulibaly maintain a level, the risk of defense will increase, but in this way, Liverpool's offensive threat will also increase.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Even if the Liverpool coaching staff has different voices, they think that the team only needs to persist until Casemiro returns from injury, then they can return to the technical and tactical system of the three midfielders, and there is no need to take risks at this time.

But Situ Yunbing always believes that if he faces this month's game with persistence, it will be dangerous for Liverpool!
Seeking wealth in insurance, this is his experience in coaching for many years in the past!

Especially in this era, how many marshals died of conservatism and ease!
Leicester City must have made tactical planning during the halftime break, hoping to strive for a comeback in the second half.

But what they didn't expect was that Liverpool became aggressive in the away game!
Although Henderson and Kante played each other's three midfielders against each other, because Leicester City was afraid of Liverpool's aggressive offensive, there was a defensive midfielder who always stayed at the front of the penalty area and did not dare to leave his post without authorization.

This made Henderson and Kanter the most active players on the field. They quickly responded to the pass when attacking and swept wildly when defending. They made a huge contribution to Liverpool's offense and defense for a while!
Liverpool's wing fast break showed a seamless rotation impact!

Sane just made a threat on the right, and Gareth Bale on the left slid the ball down to send a cross. Sane was pegged, and Arnold quietly turned offside and went to the bottom line to respond before sending it to the striker. shells.

Robertson also kills the opponent to defend the dangerous area from time to time!
Although Liverpool's British traditional 442 looks old-fashioned in tactics, it has an effect that amazes the audience in terms of impact and rhythm.

In the 63rd minute of the game, it was Sane's cross from the bottom of the right that created the Leicester City defender's inadvertent own goal in the back defense block!
Another victory for Liverpool!
The suspense of the outcome of the game disappeared, and Liverpool basically sealed the victory at the King Power Stadium!
Leicester City is still unwilling!
Maybe from the beginning they thought they could be defeated by Liverpool in the best way, and they were not wronged at all.

But being defeated by Liverpool's traditional British 442 tactics is a bit unreasonable!

Such struggles will only bring more harm and pain to themselves.

Tactical flow and technical flow may have been in opposition to each other 20 years ago, but now, the integration of the two has completely broken the barriers.

As long as there are top players, the tactics are not tossing around, and the team's combat effectiveness will not be weak no matter what tactics they play!
This can also explain the situation of Real Madrid in recent years. Whether it is Mourinho, Ancelotti, or Zidane, the tactics have not changed drastically. There really isn't much difference.

This is because their lineup has always been in the first echelon of European football, and it will be difficult even if they want a particularly bad record.

As for Leicester City's failure to turn this corner, it may be related to their success last season. They always believe that their success stems from Ranieri's tactical success against the backdrop of a huge difference in lineup strength from other teams. !
Naturally, the tactical flow is more respected.

In the 79th minute of the game, when Lewandowski received Robertson's long pass from the center of the front court and then completed a wonderful and ingenious assist, Mbappe went to the meeting and sent the ball into the goal with a single-handed lob Far corner, scored twice!

At the same time, the score was fixed at 4:0!
Situ Yunbing nodded and applauded on the sidelines, looking at Mbappe with pride!
Now Mbappe is becoming more and more like a ruthless killer!
