Chapter 250: Killing Tactics Against a Sixteen-Year-Old Boy
Liverpool head coach Klopp and Manchester United head coach Mourinho are representatives of the Mesozoic coach generation in today's world football, and they are also famous character coaches in today's world football. No matter who they are, they have strong personality charm around the world. With the title of Premier League double club, the confrontation between the two becomes even more interesting.
The most accomplished thing in Manchester United's meritorious coach Ferguson's coaching career was to pull Liverpool off the throne. At that time, countless Manchester United fans cried with joy and were elated. However, with the emergence of Li Qing, Liverpool, which once dominated European football and English football, has signs of rise.
The 2016-2017 Premier League championship and FA Cup championship are the best evidence!
At the end of seven rounds of the league this season, Liverpool only ranked second in the league with a goal difference of 4. Liverpool, which returned to the Champions League after two years, also won two consecutive victories in the death group and ranked first in the group. This all shows that Crowley Liverpool, coached by Pu, is about to return to the throne.
Liverpool fans and Manchester United fans were at loggerheads during this period. Famous players from the two teams used the media and social platforms to attack each other. Gary Neville and Carragher were the most aggressive. As time went by, even Baker Ham, Giggs, Gerrard, Rooney, Fowler and other famous players have all joined in the war of words.
The 2017-2018 Premier League season is the 26th year since the establishment of the Premier League. It is also the first time since the establishment of the Premier League that Liverpool and Manchester United ranked second and first in the league before the start of the eighth round. Manchester City ranked third with 17 points and is eyeing it. Therefore, this No one can afford to lose the first battle.
If the two teams draw, Manchester City, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal are very willing to see it, but fans of Manchester United and Liverpool do not want the two teams to draw, because a draw will mean increasing the difficulty of the league championship.
On the day of the game, Liverpool, a northwest port city, was full of football atmosphere and extremely enthusiastic.
In order to prevent football hooligans from using the Double Red Club to cause trouble, the security force in the city of Liverpool has been upgraded, which can often stop the situation in time before it escalates and avoid the outbreak of conflicts.
The Premier League's schedule for the Double Red Club is very routine. It is scheduled to be played in the morning of the 8th round. The earliest game of the other nine games is also three hours later, which means that the Double Red Club will not start until the end. .
In this way, it can be guaranteed that the focus of football fans around the world will be the league match between Liverpool and Manchester United at home.
At 11 noon on the day of the match, the entire Liverpool team took a bus from their hotel to Anfield Stadium. At this time, the square outside Anfield Stadium was already overcrowded, and there were long queues at every entrance.
"aooaoaooaooooo——"
When the bus arrived at Anfield Stadium, the fans in the queue instantly became excited, and the deafening roar quickly swept through Anfield.
Li Qing, who had taken a nap, rubbed his eyes and murmured incoherently: "Why is it so noisy? Hey... have you arrived at Anfield?"
Li Qing turned to look out the window and saw a dense crowd of fans holding Liverpool fan scarves, banners and slogans high. There was also a vaguely visible poster at the far end of his sight, and he muttered: "It's quite handsome."
Arnold sitting next door: "..."
An hour before the game, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the homepages of major live broadcast platforms. The official formation of the visiting team Manchester United was 4231, with goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Darmian, Smalling, Phil Jones and Valencia, double Defensive midfielder Matic partners with Herrera, midfielders Mkhitaryan, Pogba and Martial, and Lukaku, who has been in hot form recently, is at the front of the striker.
Liverpool's official formation is the usual 433, with goalkeeper Mignolet, defenders Moreno, Van Dijk, Matip and Alexander-Arnold, midfielders Henderson, Wijnaldum and Li Qing, Mane and Firmino and Salah.
Mourinho looked at Liverpool's starting lineup and relaxed his frown. What he was most worried about was that Klopp put Li Qing in the right wing position. Li Qing, who appeared in the tenth position during the game, was easier to control. As a guest, Mourinho has decided to let the team set up a bus, and the space in the center is bound to be limited. With Matic and Herrera as two midfielders with very large coverage areas, it will definitely be difficult for Li Qing's characteristics to be used.
As long as the score is 0:0 in the first half, he will be confident that the game will be a draw.
A draw with Liverpool as a guest is not a shameful result. If we can seize the opportunity and launch an efficient counterattack, it is not impossible to win the game!
According to his tactical research on Liverpool during this period, Li Qing is likely to return to the familiar wing in the second half, but he is not worried. As long as the players perform well on the defensive end, Li Qing, who has scored in every game since his debut, Qing is very likely to encounter a goal drought!
The script has been written, and whether it can be performed according to the script depends on the performance of the players.
Liverpool coach Klopp knows Mourinho very well. He has set the bus in many games in the past, and he knows that there will be no surprises in this game at Anfield.
In the near future, the main theme of the game will definitely be to break the dense defense.
The targeted plans for pre-match training include breaking through dense defenses, of which set-piece offense and long-range shots are the focus of the drill.
Li Qing has a long shot and a free kick, so Klopp's game tactics revolve around drawing fouls.
The forty-minute warm-up time ended and the players from both sides returned to the locker room one after another. They did not appear in the tunnel and bench until five minutes before the start of the game.
The on-site director showed the broadcast screen to the player channel, and the fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see the serious-looking players from both sides.
Although many players of both teams are national team teammates, no one greeted each other in the face of the Reds. They all looked straight ahead, waiting for the game to start.
It is not difficult to see that the pressure of this top battle is very high.
Li Qing's mentality was originally relatively relaxed, but he saw that every teammate looked like he owed someone five million, and he became serious imperceptibly.
…
"Tianchao TV, Tianchao TV, the game now broadcast for you is the live broadcast of the focus battle of Liverpool vs. Manchester United at home in the 8th round of the 2017-2018 English Premier League. The players wearing red shirts and red shorts are the home team Liverpool players. They attack from the right side of the broadcast screen to the left side. The players wearing white shirts and white shorts are the visiting team Manchester United players..."
He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shouted out the standard live broadcast lines of Tianchao TV with excitement.
"Both teams are currently ranked in the top two of the league with 19 points. The outcome of this game is likely to affect the ownership of the Premier League champion this season..."
Liverpool, who had the advantage of kicking off, quickly passed the ball to the right. Arnold, who received the ball, was not a breakthrough defender. He passed the ball back horizontally, and Henderson passed it to Li Qing.
Pogba, Lukaku and Herrera headed out at the first time, not giving Li Qing a chance to turn around.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, thinking about completing the breakthrough with his skillful skills. Lukaku and Pogba are both strong in attack and weak in defense. The two changed their center of gravity and surrendered their guns. Herrera, who has strong defensive ability, committed a decisive foul.
Such a situation continued to play in the next few minutes.
Due to the distance from the goal, the referee Oliver did not play a card.
Liverpool coach Klopp saw Mourinho's tactics against Li Qing and was immediately displeased.
A 16-year-old boy actually used a lethal foul tactic!
