Chapter 1029 Tactical Adjustment
In fact, Raiola was really wronged. He didn't say anything, just waited and watched. At the end of the season, Klopp had already made up his mind to get Firmino. This player is actually very good in the Bundesliga. Admired forward player.

Liverpool has a lot of strikers. Lukaku is the absolute main force in Everton, but coming to Liverpool will face fierce competition like Balotelli. Whether he can survive or not is another matter. Zhang Yuan is the biggest player. There is a bug, any striker will feel huge pressure in front of him. Last year Raiola felt that the worst thing he did was to send Balotelli to Liverpool. Now I really regret it. Now Lukaku, he It cannot be ruled out that Liverpool's striker has squeezed Lukaku to nothing.

Of course, Lukaku also has advantages. He is a center forward with relatively good confrontation ability. If he is willing to be Zhang Yuan's younger brother, he will actually have a chance to play around Zhang Yuan. After all, his advantage is what Liverpool currently lacks.

So Raiola is in a state of hesitation, Lukaku is in a state of hesitation, and Everton is absolutely unwilling to sell the player to Liverpool, so it is only natural that the deal went wrong.

Liverpool has received great popularity in China. The reason is not mentioned, but because of the existence of Zhang Yuan, Liverpool's popularity here has skyrocketed.

But Liverpool's players are very tired, and Klopp is somewhat critical if he doesn't say anything in his mouth.

In the middle of the trip to Asia, Liverpool's staff was finally complete. Coutinho and other personnel returned to the team. Firmino, Firmino played as a center forward or a pseudo-center forward in Hoffenheim. He basically belongs to the kind of striker with a relatively wide range of activities. This is what Klopp particularly appreciates about him.

Firmino is particularly diligent, especially good at counter-attacking on the court, and has a very positive attitude. This is especially important under Klopp's high-position pressing tactics. In fact, it is said that Firmino was a striker in a certain game Actually contributed 5 steals data, I have to say that this is quite anti-grabbing awareness and a bit brush.

The biggest advantage of Firmino is his running position, which is flexible. In his running position, he can not only get rid of defensive players, but also play a role in helping his teammates to create space, and this effect is still great.

Firmino's most glorious time in Hoffenheim was the 13-14 season, with both goals and assists reaching 20. However, as a center forward, his scoring efficiency is not particularly high. Neither ball is particularly strong.

But Hoffenheim doesn't particularly value his goals, that is, his tactical role, otherwise he would not be reluctant to sell. With his scoring efficiency, he only scored 7 goals last season, but it cost him a lot of money. Liverpool's full 4000 million euros is not a bragging.

Now that such a high value has come, Klopp certainly wants to use his strengths, and Firmino's strengths can only be realized in the center position or pseudo-center position, and it is a bit difficult to develop on the wing.

Now who is actually occupying Liverpool's center forward position is Zhang Yuan. Sturridge has also played as a center forward, but most of the time on the court is to see Zhang Yuan's face. Zhang Yuan said he wants to move to the center. Turic is very sensible and knows how to give way.

Now Klopp hopes that Zhang Yuan can move to the wing. Zhang Yuan happens to have the ability and experience in this area, but Klopp also knows that Zhang Yuan likes center forward.

After Firmino returned to the team, Klopp was entangled in this matter. He wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Zhang Yuan, so as to show his righteousness.

Zhang Yuan doesn't know what kind of guy Firmino is. In his opinion, his position is as stable as Mount Tai. Liverpool spent 4000 million euros to buy Firmino, and he may be a substitute, maybe his substitute or the two wings' substitute , he never considered Firmino a threat to him.

The trip to Asia was not long, and it was only late July when the Liverpool team returned to Liverpool. Klopp decided not to move his home anymore, and concentrated on preparing for the game at the Melwood training base. He also wanted to find time to meet Zhang Yuan. Have a good talk.

At the end of the training that day, Zhang Yuan was called to the office by Klopp.

"Boss, are you looking for me?!" Zhang Yuan sat down on Klopp's office chair casually and said, he didn't know what Klopp was looking for him, could he be a pimp again? !After all, now there are some inexplicable rumors that Liverpool are very interested in Pogba, Zhang Yuan thinks it is a bit nonsense, Klopp always takes a fancy to Raiola's players.

"How are you doing recently?!" Klopp asked with a smile.

"Not bad!" Zhang Yuan shrugged.

"How are the new signings doing in the locker room?"

"Very good!" Zhang Yuan replied again. Currently, Liverpool has introduced a total of 4 players, Firmino, Klein, Milner, and Kante.

Kanter is Vidal's replacement. This is the choice given to Klopp by Liverpool's transfer department. Kanter played for Caen in Ligue [-] last season. This is a relegation team in Ligue [-]. He successfully relegated last season and played well Kanter has been favored by many teams. Of course, these teams are basically second-tier teams. Leicester City in the Premier League is very interested in him and made an offer. Caen is a poor boy. Ten thousand pounds, without a word, agreed, there is nothing more practical than making money, and Kanter and Leicester have also reached the point where they are talking about marriage.

Like Vidal's repertoire of joining Bayern Munich, Liverpool broke out at the critical moment and also quoted an offer of 600 million pounds to Caen. Of course Caen is fine, and Kanter's mind is alive.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Liverpool is better than Leicester City. After all, they have Zhang Yuan. After all, they have been ranked among the top three in the past two years. After all, they play in the Champions League. After all, they are in the Premier League. The traditional giants are destined to be strong contenders for the championship in the new season. In contrast, Leicester City is nothing.

Faced with such temptations, Klopp took Kanter's heart with a phone call, and Kanter just slipped away from Leicester's mouth and ran into Liverpool's bowl.

What Kanter brought to Klopp was a surprise. This is a small midfielder with fast speed, a very large coverage area, and good stealing ability. Of course, Klopp's ideal state is to have a player with both offense and defense. With a defensive midfielder like Vidal, Kanter just watched the video and data and felt that the defense is more prominent.

However, on the training ground, Kanter still gave Klopp a refreshing feeling, feeling that he is now taking advantage.

First ask about the situation in the team to pave the way. Klopp quickly shifted the topic to the team's tactical play in the new season. In fact, Klopp's tactical play is not a secret. Movement, especially the interspersed movement in the frontcourt.

Zhang Yuan also has a deep understanding. In fact, there is nothing to say about this. Zhang Yuan fully agrees, but when the style of painting changed, Klopp talked about Firmino. He began to tell Zhang Yuan the advantages and disadvantages of Firmino.

Zhang Yuan listened and listened to this, even if it came back, Klopp was trying to win his understanding and support, because Klopp wanted to move Firmino to the center position and let Zhang Yuan move to the forward position. sidewalk.

Zhang Yuan was dissatisfied and very angry. He originally thought that Firmino was a high-priced substitute bought by Liverpool, but it seems that Klopp is very concerned about this "direct line" and insists on fixing Firmino.

Why should I let you? !An unhappy look gradually appeared on Zhang Yuan's face.

How could Klopp not see it? It’s not that he didn’t dare to offend Zhang Yuan, but he didn’t want to. Zhang Yuan’s position is too special. First, he has a big backer behind him, and Qian Huan behind him. No one dares to touch him. Klopp Pu is also the boss, but if Qian Huan is asked to make ten choices, he will choose to abandon Klopp ten times. Klopp is self-aware. Liverpool also has his hard work. He doesn't want to leave now. Once he gets here, he will find that this place is good. He doesn't have to worry about money or power. Where can he find such a good owner? !
The second Zhang Yuan is capable. Zhang Yuan scored more than 40 goals for Liverpool last season in this center position. Can you say that he is not suitable for a center forward? !Certainly not!
