Legendary godfather of green grass

The chubby Rogers stood on the sidelines, staring closely at the inside of the court, his eyes were deep, what was he thinking?

His assistant, Colin Pascoe, stood beside him, also staring into the court.

This game was much harder than they faced each other.

Crystal Palace's tactics did give them some headaches.

Rogers turned to look at Pascoe and said, "This is a more difficult game than we thought."

Pascoe turned his head and looked to the other side, looking at Tong Yi who was sitting firmly on the coach's bench.

Seriously, he was in shock.

He didn't expect that the Huaxia man in front of him would be so powerful?

He really couldn't figure it out.

Why is this Huaxia person so young, but able to understand so much and achieve such good results?Did this guy learn this from the womb?Or is Frank's stuff really that powerful?

When he thought of Frank, he couldn't help thinking of Klopp who was still in Germany.

It is said that that guy is also very powerful.

It seems that Frank really has something.

Following Pascoe's gaze, Rogers also looked over, and he also saw Tong Yi.

Hey!

Rogers sighed, he regretted a little at this time, regretting that he underestimated Tong Yi before the game, which caused the old team to fall into a passive position.

Yes, Liverpool, who are playing at home, are now in a passive state.

They fell behind zero to one.

In this game, he played a 3-4-3 starting lineup, which is still his way.In fact, he underestimated the attacking ability of Crystal Palace a little bit, so he formed such a lineup.

Of course, Rogers has a problem that is very obvious, that is, he almost hits the end of a set of tactics, and then changes to other tactics when he can't beat it.

Regarding this point, Tong Yi actually hates it clearly.

佟壹的记忆力很清楚地记得罗杰斯在利物浦执教时候被大家诟病的地方在哪里。有一方面就是一套战术用到底，用到不行了然后再换战术。罗杰斯在利物浦使用过3-4-3，后来改用了4-4-2，最后又改回了3-4-3。

Obviously, this is still a time period where he firmly believes in the 3-4-3 formation.

To be honest, after Rodgers came to Liverpool, Liverpool's offense has indeed been strengthened. The level of offense and offensive routines have been significantly improved, and the attack threat and success rate have also increased.However, the defense seems to be weaker. I am not used to whether the opponent is strong or weak, and I can always be scored by the opponent.

Even for a while, Liverpool gave people the impression of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.

This is the embodiment of their weak defense.

In this game, Tong Yi obviously emphasized this point, making the players frantically compete against the Liverpool players, which led to the Liverpool team falling into a passive position.

And at the beginning of the game, Crystal Palace achieved results.

Just 5 minutes into the game, Crystal Palace's midfielder Pogba directly sent a precise through ball, hitting the football to Liverpool's rib position.

The disadvantages of the three central defenders are completely exposed, and the defense here is very empty.

Mane, who stepped forward, directly broke through the goal guarded by Mignolet with a burst shot.

Damn it, there was also a problem with Mignolet's position on this ball.Otherwise, he can save the ball and Liverpool will not concede the ball.

It's really a pity!

Rogers didn't even know what to say.

Looking at his starting lineup, Rogers really doesn't think there is anything wrong with his arrangement?

Today, Liverpool's starting line-up looks like this:

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Back three [left to right]: Kolo Touré, Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho

The midfield four [from left to right]: Jones Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard and Moses

Three strikers [from left to right]: Sterling, Suarez and Sturridge

His lineup is more often a five-back lineup. The two wingers, Enrique and Moses, will retreat a lot when defending.He is still very confident in his defense, but just at the beginning of the game, he was seized by the Crystal Palace.

He thinks this is the luck of the Crystal Palace people!

actually not!

Although Liverpool looks more like a five-back when defending, can the two wing players really come back to participate in the defense at the first time?Moreover, these two side players are obviously strong in offense and weak in defense, at least they think so. They are very involved in offense and press very high.But what about defense?It's not really possible to come back.

That's what happened just now.

Liverpool's two midfielders rushed forward and did not come back.

The football at midfielder Henderson's feet was suddenly intercepted by Pogba, and then he directly launched a quick counterattack. The defensive players on Liverpool's side really didn't have many opportunities to go back to defend.

However, insiders look at the doorway.

Both Rodgers and Pascoe saw it, and this conceded goal was inevitable.

Because, Crystal Palace's high-position press is really too powerful, restricting their midfielders.If it is not intercepted this time, it will be intercepted next time.

So, Rogers felt that he underestimated Tong Yi before the game.

As soon as the game was played, they knew the problem.

The Liverpool players were a little uncomfortable being pressed by the mad dog-like high position of the Crystal Palace.

Especially Henderson and Enrique seemed a little flustered.

It's not that they haven't seen this kind of fierce pressing before, but the pressing of Crystal Palace is really very powerful, which makes people feel very suffocating.Even a very stable player like Henderson is rarely flustered, leading to mistakes in the ball. This is where the Crystal Palace people are so good.

Rogers stared at Tong Yi closely, and said in his heart: "This should be the magic weapon for this kid to survive."

Rogers turned his head and carefully watched the way the Crystal Palace players played, and he really felt more and more something.This Tong Yi is really not someone who deserves his fame!

Rogers has to pay attention.

However, Rogers couldn't think of a way in a short time.

Because those who are familiar with the coach Rogers know very well that this person's on-the-spot adaptability and command ability can really only be said to be average, and even some people with strict requirements will say that Rogers' adaptability is very bad.

Therefore, Rogers was really at a loss what to do at this time.

He had already set up all the procedures for the game in his mind, and it was too late to change them at this time, they could only follow the rules step by step.

Of course, Rogers is also thinking.

Thinking about how to deal with it.

However, he hasn't seen the way yet, so he seems a little struggling and hesitant.

Of course, Rogers' assistant Pascoe also has the same problem as Rogers, and the on-the-spot response is a bit ineffective.At this time, he couldn't help Rogers, he could only just watch quietly.

Rogers suddenly came to the sidelines and shouted into the court: "Speed ​​up the rhythm and speed of passing the ball. If necessary, you can directly pass from the backcourt to the front striker!" This is what Rogers can think of at present, and he He also called Gerrard to his side and ordered some things in detail.Obviously, Rogers put his treasure on Captain Gerrard.

See, Rogers still has the ability to adapt on the spot. Although he can't say that he is particularly brilliant, he is still quite satisfactory.At least, Rogers' response was quick and decisive enough.

The more important thing is that he didn't put all his treasures on it. At this time, he was still thinking crazily and thinking about countermeasures.

Yes, his method cannot completely change the situation. He has to come up with countermeasures in the next time, and then implement his countermeasures to the players during the intermission, so that he can deal with the next the match of.

Rogers turned around directly, returned to his seat, sat down, and carefully observed the tactics and playing methods of the Crystal Palace people on the court, while racking his brains and frantically thinking about countermeasures.

Honestly, it's still pretty hard.

However, Pascoe is very confident in Rogers.

In this game, Liverpool will definitely win.

At this time, the Liverpool fans on the scene screamed excitedly, cheering for the Liverpool players, hoping that the Liverpool players can equalize the score as soon as possible.

But at this time, Liverpool is still at a disadvantage.

The players of Crystal Palace are in a very good state in this game, which can be described as bursting.The running posture and running speed on the court can be reflected, and they seem to have endless energy.This is why Liverpool also fell into a passive position in the face of Crystal Palace's high-position press!

Crystal Palace's game is a bit explosive.

Liverpool seemed very passive, and was stopped by the Crystal Palace when they played the ball a little slower.

Especially Pogba, who usually looks a little lazy, was very active in this game, just like Kanter possessed, so Crystal Palace's high-position press in this game will have such power.

Tong Yi, who was sitting on the coach's bench, was also surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect his players to be in such good condition and so active in this game. It seems that this game should be won by Crystal Palace. ah.

Liverpool is also unlucky, and it happened!

Tong Yi turned his head to look at Nagelsman, and Nagelsman's eyes were also full of shock.

The state of the Crystal Palace players is really good.

Campbell also said excitedly: "Boss, we are really blessed by God in this game, we are sure to win!"

Even the steady Harman nodded and said, "The chance is great!"

Crystal Palace people are full of confidence!

At this time, Kanter, who was actively running and pressing, cut off Gerrard's pass again. Gerrard also made a mistake under the high position pressing, and the Liverpool players were a little flustered.

Danger!

Kanter directly picked a pass into the penalty area. Lukaku in the penalty area obviously reacted a beat faster than Skrtel, jumped up first, and ferried the header.Mane, who followed, rushed to the football's landing point before Moses came back, and volleyed directly with his legs.

The football roared out and flew straight to the top corner of the near post.

Mignolet reacted quickly, but didn't touch the football either.

Two to zero!

Crystal Palace are now two goals ahead!

The entire Anfield stadium was dead silent!

And Rogers on the coaching bench was a little sluggish, and couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.Before the game, he never thought that Liverpool would encounter such a bad situation, nor did he think that they were defeated so quickly and conceded two goals in such a short period of time.

In this game, Liverpool are in danger!
