Uncle Zha is so awesome! Six top midfielders allow Liverpool to compete for the title without any worries, while Swiss Messi completely loses his position

The unbeaten record in 11 rounds of the Premier League is not an insurmountable achievement for Klopp, because his Liverpool's biggest goal this season is to win the Premier League championship. Any championship team needs a strong lineup to support it. Last season, Liverpool won the Champions League with its existing lineup, which is enough to prove that the existing lineup is strong enough. If they want to win the Premier League championship, Liverpool does not need to do anything. There have been too many personnel changes. Chamberlain and Joe Gomez, who have returned to the first team, have enriched Klopp's personnel options in the midfield and backfield. Now he hardly needs to introduce players in any position, he only needs to play in every game. Just prepare your troops carefully beforehand.

Needless to say about the front trident. In the first 11 rounds of the league this season, Mane, Salah, and Firmino all played a key role. They are Liverpool's three major scoring machines. , removing any one person will cause Liverpool's frontcourt offense to fall apart; although the partnership of Van Dijk and Matip (or Lovren) on the defense line concedes goals in every home game, the team can always win easily. The entire defense line has become the world's top defense line under the leadership of Van Dijk, with a total worth of more than 300 million euros.

Arnold and Robertson still play the role of wing crossers this season. However, it can be seen from the first 11 league rounds that Robertson has significantly increased the number of cooperation with Mane this season, in order to strengthen the left wing. The propulsion ability and the ability to control the ball are enhanced, and the left wing where Arnold is located has become one of the few passing points. Arnold's unique ability to pass diagonally from the side is something that other Liverpool teammates cannot do. Klopp also gives Arnold the opportunity to take corner kicks and direct free kicks in the frontcourt. As long as Arnold is focused enough, he can take advantage of set kick opportunities. Score a goal or assist a teammate to complete the goal.

The only thing that is worse is Liverpool's midfield. Last season, Liverpool's regular three-man midfield was Henderson, Wijnaldum and Fabinho. The requirements for running ability are higher. As Henderson grows older, he is sometimes unable to play the entire game, and his spirit of fighting for every ball on the court simply does not allow him to have time to rest. Wijnaldum's ability to protect the ball Outstanding, scoring goals is also his specialty, but his speed and individual combat ability are poor, and it is difficult to provide help to the strikers when the opponent's midfield is gathering. Therefore, last season's midfielder combination of three engineers seems to have No longer suitable for Liverpool.

Before last season’s Champions League final, Chamberlain, who returned from injury, has officially returned to the first team to participate in training. During the preseason this season, Uncle Klopp has begun to allow him to play, but in the preseason Chamberlain's performance was average. It was not until the third round of the Champions League group stage this season that Chamberlain showed his strong long-range shooting ability.

In the away game against Genk, Uncle Zha boldly used Chamberlain, who has stronger offensive attributes, in order to get three points at Genk's home court. Chamberlain did not live up to Uncle Zha's trust. Each scored a wonderful long-range shot in the second half. His use of space and adjustment of long-range shots are excellent. Although he cannot compare with Gerrard at his peak, it is enough for this Liverpool team to crack the opponent's bus. The strongest weapon of the formation. Against Genk in the fourth round of the Champions League, Chamberlain once again used his long-range shot to help Liverpool score 3 points. The three goals before and after were enough to make Chamberlain the strongest offensive midfielder in Liverpool. His strong comeback gave Klopp more The choice also makes Liverpool no longer afraid of the opponent's intensive defense.

As early as before the start of the 17-18 season, Liverpool had already finalized the transfer of Naby Keita with Leipzig. After Keita came to Liverpool last season, he has been unable to get stable appearances due to injuries. Chances are, Keita was injured again while participating in the African Cup of Nations and did not fully recover until the start of the season. However, this time Keita did not have a recurrence of his old injury, and Uncle Zha began to formulate tactics on his own for Keita, who had stronger organizational skills.

Keita, who has poor physical fitness, is not good at dribbling too much in the midfield. He is just a simple passer, but compared to Liverpool captain Henderson, who has rough skills, Keita is better at it. Creating space by passing the ball, that is, tearing apart the opponent's defense through maneuvering to the wings, creates more running space for teammates. This is something that Henderson and Wijnaldum find difficult to do. This is what is called Midfield brain. This is a smart midfielder. When facing the high-quality defense of a wealthy team, Keita's pass may seem ordinary, but in fact it is extremely lethal.

Liverpool has a lot of midfield personnel reserves. In addition to the five main first-team players mentioned above, there are also Milner, Lallana, and Shaqiri, so Klopp must do a good job in the midfield. In order to maintain control of the game, Klopp has developed three midfield formation plans for Liverpool.

This plan is Liverpool's usual midfield configuration for tough battles, but the only drawback is creativity, so when Liverpool presses forward as a whole, Wijnaldum will assist Robertson and Mane on the left. Henderson will seek cooperation with Alexander-Arnold and Salah. Friends who are familiar with Liverpool know that Henderson is habitually slow to start after coming on the field. In the first 15 minutes of the game, Henderson will usually help defend the right side where Arnold is. , the frequency of assists is not high, and Wijnaldum is better at running back and forth to organize attacks. In this way, Liverpool's wings will be very asymmetrical, and it is easy for the opponent to penetrate from one side, but such a three-center The biggest feature of the field combination is its ability to run, and it makes up for tactical shortcomings through running without hesitation. That's why Liverpool's lineup last season successfully won the Champions League.

Since Fabinho integrated into the team, his solid defense in the midfield and backfield has provided greater freedom to the frontcourt players. Firmino almost does not need to participate in the defense in the middle, while Chamberlain He and Keita are the absolute fulcrum of this tactical system. Keita can create space, and Chamberlain's role is to use these spaces to sprint or seek long-range shooting opportunities.

Of course, it is impossible for Chamberlain to take a long shot when he gets the ball. He is more likely to seek breakthrough opportunities in the middle, break the ball into the penalty area and seek cooperation with his teammates. Keita will appear behind Chamberlain to control the second penalty kick. , combined with his excellent foot skills and Fabinho's perfect positional sense, Liverpool's defense can easily resolve the threat created by the opponent even with only two central defenders. This plan is the best plan for Liverpool to attack the opponent. .

The combination of the three English midfielders is indeed a bit rough, but the offensive ability is definitely not bad. The biggest role of Milner, who is full of physical fitness, is to help defend the two wings. When Fabinho is unable to play At that time, Milner will become the first choice to replace him. In such a tactical system, Henderson does not have to participate in the offense and only needs to complete simple passes in the midfield and backfield. Relatively speaking, Chamberlain has the strongest offensive ability among the three. The combination of him and the front trident is the strongest offensive combination that Liverpool can currently field. When facing some weaker teams, this lineup is the most powerful. A solid plan that guarantees victory.

The six midfielders mentioned above are Liverpool’s most reliable and complete midfield configuration at present. These six players together constitute Liverpool’s three tactical systems. Liverpool's bid for the league title this season is guaranteed.

In Liverpool's home game against Manchester United last season, Swiss Messi Shaqiri was substituted in the last 20 minutes of the game. He used two deflection goals to send Manchester United coach Mourinho out of class and became Liverpool's new boss. One of the most reliable players on the bench, but Shaqiri has had very few opportunities to play in the league this season. He only had 12 minutes in total in his two appearances, and only 3 minutes as a substitute in the Champions League. He was perfected at Liverpool. In the tactical system, Shaqiri is already out of place.

Uncle Zha has always been very cautious in substitutions, but Lallana, who is worse than Shaqiri and whose physical condition is far behind, can still get more playing time. Shaqi Why can't Li play? The answer is: Shaqiri's technical style is very embarrassing.

In the Swiss national team, Shaqiri will appear in the right midfielder or midfielder position. He is best at dribbling, long shots and crosses, but in the Liverpool starting lineup, Arnold's The position of the first position player cannot be shaken. Chamberlain's long-range shooting ability has given Uncle Zha a taste of the sweetness. Shaqiri, who is excellent at dribbling, has been unable to form a tacit understanding with the Trident since he came to Liverpool, and the timing of transferring the ball is not accurate. If he is sent on the field, the offensive rhythm of the Trident will be completely disrupted. Instead of sending Shaqi, Instead of letting Lallana play in the backcourt to participate in passing and controlling, which consumes time, in the long run, Shaqiri becomes a spectator on the Liverpool bench, and the chance of returning to the starting lineup is almost 0.

In the four years since he coached Liverpool, Klopp has transformed a Liverpool team that was hovering in the middle of the league into a favorite for the Premier League and Champions League. These six midfielders also allow Liverpool fans no longer need to worry about the midfield. The nightmare of losing control will happen again. I hope Klopp can lead Liverpool to create a miracle this season, break the 30-year curse and win the championship in one fell swoop!
