Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

Mourinho really doesn't like to talk about it. His purpose of talking about it is usually to make the opponent's mentality. Now that he has made a wish to take the initiative to attract hatred, of course he doesn't need to do the same thing again.

Mourinho is studying Klopp's crazy running tactics.

As the name suggests, the core of Crazy Running is "running".

Why is it called crazy running?Because Klopp's teams run higher distances than the average team, much higher.

Before Klopp came to the Premier League, the most running team this season was not Chelsea, but Tottenham Hotspur under Pochettino.

Mourinho also put a lot of emphasis on running at Chelsea, but that was in key games. In order to save energy, Chelsea played "healthy play" in most leagues.

Coupled with Chelsea's strong strength, most of them are half-court offensive and defensive drills. After taking the lead first, they like to counterattack in low positions, so their running distance in the Premier League is not that much. They are only ranked No. .11 names.

Tottenham is different. Relying on the young players and hard work, Pochettino has great intensity in each game. Tottenham's average running distance this season ranks first in the Premier League, reaching an average of 115.4 kilometers per game.

After Klopp's arrival, this situation was broken.

Under Rodgers, Liverpool's average running distance is 108 kilometers, ranking only No.13 in the entire Premier League; averaging 474 sprints per game, ranking eighth in the entire league.

Klopp's first game in the Premier League was against Tottenham. In that game, Liverpool players ran an astonishing 116 kilometers and sprinted 614 times in a single game, more than Tottenham.

Forwards like Sturridge and Benteke who usually only run a little over 9 kilometers a game, under Klopp, averaged more than 10 kilometers per game, and those midfielders ran even more Longer, more than 12 kilometers abound.

The most frightening thing is that Klopp's Liverpool don't only run like this when they meet a strong team, no matter what team they run...

The result is that the current Liverpool players do not conform to Klopp's crazy running tactics, and his time to take over is too short, which has caused the effect of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Mourinho is not concerned about these, he is concerned about Liverpool's offensive and defensive conversion.

Generally speaking, a game can be roughly divided into three stages: offense, offense and defense conversion, and defense.

The crazy running flow requires more players to participate in the press during the transition phase of offense and defense, which will naturally lead to more running.

To give a simple example, Tottenham and Southampton also play in a high position. When they lose the ball, the player who lost the ball and two or three players nearby will immediately press forward and turn around to face the attacking direction. player with the ball.

At the same time, a small triangle is formed, echoing each other, forming a local number advantage, and will not disrupt their own formation.

Klopp's crazy running style requires four to five players to press at the same time. In addition to the original three players, if the ball is on the side, the midfielder in the center must force it over immediately, and the striker must retreat immediately. Participate in the siege.

The advantage of this is that it is easier to grab the ball, and there are more support points, so it is easy to launch a counterattack.

There are also many disadvantages, because a game cannot be in the transition stage forever. When Liverpool players cannot grab the football and launch a counterattack, they still have to defend.

This means that the defensive midfielders and forward players have to turn back and run back to their defensive positions. Back and forth, this increases the running distance and the number of sprints, and also greatly increases the consumption of physical energy.

This is what Mourinho is targeting. These days, Chelsea players have been practicing the ball under high pressure.

Of course, Chelsea still has a killer trick, which is to make a long pass to make a wish, not to let him charge, but to use his header advantage to create opportunities for teammates.

When Liverpool encircled Chelsea's players with the ball, they could indeed form a numerical advantage locally, but on the other side, their defense was bound to be very weak.

This is Liverpool's weakness!

This trick is very useful. At the Stamford Bridge Stadium, Di Maria is celebrating a goal with his hands together, and the one who assisted him is the wish!

"Let's look at the slow-motion replay, Fabregas, surrounded by four people, passed the ball back to Stones, Stones made a long pass, wished to head the ball away, and he headed the ball to the right. When the road was empty, Di Maria cut inside and made the final decision! 1 to 0! Chelsea, who are playing at home, are temporarily ahead, and they took the initiative in the two rounds of the game."

"Chelsea's cooperation this time is really beautiful! They broke through Liverpool's defense in just 15 minutes. Klopp's crazy running style once again exposed the Achilles heel. They can't deal with the fulcrum high center forward!"

The same is true in fact. Liverpool have suffered in Midwinter, Deeney and Cisse, and this time it is their turn to make a wish.

What Klopp said before the game that he has found a way to stop wishing is purely talking. If he really has a way to defend against high center forwards, he won't lose so many points...

And Liverpool has a bigger flaw, and that is the set piece.

Klopp likes tall and large central defenders. Sakho and Lovren have had a lot of opportunities to play this season, but their frontal defense is okay, and it is not very effective when they use their brains.

No.30 In the second minute, Cesc Fabregas took a corner kick, made a wish and "pick-and-roll" with Terry, and then hit the goal with Stones and Matic. The wish at the end successfully bypassed Sa Ke and Lovren defended, overpowering the 1-meter-high Moreno with a header.

2 is better than 0!

Chelsea almost killed the game in the first half.

Klopp was furious on the sidelines, but he had no choice. He had only taken over the team for two months, and he didn't buy him. There is no way to start.

As for the offensive aspect... In this game, Klopp has discharged the forward line of Benteke, Firmino and Coutinho. Klopp's idea is to use Benteke's fulcrum ability to give Firmino and Coutinho Tinho creates chances, but with little success.

Benteke, who scored [-] goals in Aston Villa last season, was completely unadapted to Liverpool's tactics, especially Klopp's tactics, and he was at a loss.

Benteke has only scored two league goals this season. Just in the game against Leicester City, Zhan Jun's "traditional virtues of Benteke" came out, which is really hard to describe.

You must know that Liverpool’s purchase of Benteke this season has activated the liquidated damages of 3250 million pounds in his contract. Now it seems that Benteke is likely to become the next Andy Carroll...

Coupled with Terry's rich experience, Benteke is a big one. Even in his peak season, he only had two assists. Klopp's wish to use Benteke as a fulcrum fell through.

Unable to attack and unable to defend, the suspense of this game has actually been lost. The only suspense is whether Chelsea can kill the game in the first round and give the main players more rest time.
