Chapter 1032 Changes
Zhang Yuan is also changing his playing style in training now. Klopp has given him a lot of explanations. The biggest requirement for Zhang Yuan is to learn to control the rhythm. In my impression, sprinting and scoring goals are all unpleasant, and Uncle Zha’s thinking is the same, but after more than half a year in the Premier League, Uncle Zha’s thinking has also changed.

It can be seen from the end of last season that many teams have adopted defensive coach tactics against Liverpool. They will not underestimate Liverpool. Liverpool has fallen into the offensive of positional warfare many times. Facing such positional warfare, Liverpool is really very difficult. .

Klopp expects that Liverpool will suffer more from opponents' tactics in the new season, so he needs to think of more ways, such as concealed passing, and the use of pitch width. Henderson is good at using pitch width , but he found that the gap and pass concealment are too low, and it is easy to be seen through, not to mention Kanter and Emre Can, Coutinho is not good at moving left and right, and Ali is not an organizer at all .

In other words, Klopp wants to treat Zhang Yuan on the wing as an offensive organizer instead.

This is what Zhang Yuan did after he played. Chelsea players are very afraid of Zhang Yuan playing. This is normal. After all, this is the Premier League Golden Boot last season, and it is also in the top five in the assist list players.

Mourinho is also very afraid of Zhang Yuan's playing. After all, Liverpool's advantage is not a big deal. Chelsea is best at defense, but Zhang Yuan has the ability to convert his advantage into goals.

He wanted to remind Chelsea's players to stay in their positions. There are also disadvantages on the wing. Zhang Yuan is farther from the goal. If he wants to shoot, he must try to get close to the penalty area. The focus of defense should be to prevent him from moving to the center.

However, before Mourinho's reminder came out, the Chelsea players made a mistake!
In the 77th minute, Zhang Yuan touched the ball for the second time. After getting the ball, several Chelsea players went around to defend the Liverpool players, narrowing the encirclement of Zhang Yuan, trying to cut off Zhang Yuan's short pass route.

Mikel, who was defending Zhang Yuan, did not dare to act rashly. He just kept a certain distance from Zhang Yuan. In fact, you have to be selective about whether to foul or not. In the halftime, choosing to foul at this time is undoubtedly a stupid decision. There is a risk of getting a card, and Liverpool just kicked off on the spot and attacked again.

It is impossible that every time Zhang Yuan takes the ball, Chelsea players must use fouls to stop it. This is unnecessary. No coach will let his players use fouls to stop every time. If he does it, it is purely for himself. Digging.

Chelsea at this time belonged to this situation. Mikel didn't need to foul, he would only approach cautiously.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and pointed his left finger to Chelsea's left side. This gesture was to instruct Moreno, who had already stepped up, to go down to help him attract the defense. Moreno went down, and Ivanovic You must follow up, and you can no longer double-team Zhang Yuan with Mikel.

However, when Moreno moved, Zhang Yuan still did not move. Mikel was very focused. After waiting for a while, Zhang Yuan suddenly passed the ball. This was a lateral transfer. He had already seen Chelsea's flaw.

Liverpool's formation is constantly leaning to the left. This is a normal move. They must move closer to the ball side to facilitate Zhang Yuan's pass. Chelsea's defensive formation will naturally move accordingly.

Zhang Yuan used this opportunity to make a long-distance pass, and Klein on the right had already run towards the far-end gap exposed by Chelsea at high speed.

Chelsea's reaction was quick, and Azpilicueta's reaction was also quick, but he couldn't hold back and took a step slower. Klein didn't stop the ball on the right side and passed the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Ali followed up with a foot on the ground The volley hit the player guarded by Courtois. The quality of this ball was very high. The whole cooperation was a bit fast. Courtois's reaction was fast enough, but he fell to the ground slowly and the ball rolled into the ground. Chelsea's door!
Liverpool took a 1-0 lead, Ali ran to the sidelines to celebrate excitedly, and the Liverpool fans on the sidelines cheered.

Klopp jumped up on the sidelines. To be honest, this is the embodiment of his tactical thinking. He needs Zhang Yuan's wide vision, which is why he changes positions. He needs such width to use.

This kind of tactics is actually not uncommon. Barcelona often use the width of the court in this way, which makes people hard to defend. This kind of ball transfer can actually be defended. The wing is always the wing. The same can do nothing.

The point is not that every team can keep an eye on people at any time. Zhang Yuan's pass is also very concealed. It looks like he is going to force Mikel and shoot inside.

Liverpool have never passed the ball in this way so far in the whole game, and they are not fully prepared for defensive transfers. They deserve it!
Mourinho was silent on the sidelines. He was a little surprised. He had a premonition that Klopp might use Zhang Yuan like this in the future. He asked Zhang Yuan to be a core organizer on the side. He knew Messi This is how it has developed over the years.

But what surprised him was Zhang Yuan's passing skills. He was not that good when he was coaching before. Last season, Zhang Yuan was almost a center forward and didn't show it. Hehe, another big trouble!

However, there will not be too many opportunities that can be used in this way. Chelsea learned a lot from a fall, and Zhang Yuan did not deliberately take advantage of such a transfer of the ball. However, in the remaining time, he still played two or three wonderful times with his teammates. With cooperation, he also got two chances to shoot, but unfortunately the foot of the shot was not very smooth, and he failed to score a goal.

Mourinho wanted to attack, but Falcao's presence in the frontcourt was a bit weak, which led to Chelsea's offense still not improving. It was just a friendly match, and Mourinho gradually felt like giving up. .

The game ended tepidly. Many fans felt that the first half was fierce, but the second half was a little dull except for the goals!

As the captain, Gerrard raised the Community Shield for the first time. The last time Liverpool won the championship in this event dates back to 2001. At that time, Gerrard was not the captain, and he had just emerged in Liverpool.

The 8-year community shield curse (the one who wins the community shield cannot win the Premier League championship) has long been over, and then the community shield champion must win the league championship curse (winning the community shield and winning the Premier League championship of the season), the previous few This season has been solved by Arsenal again, but after all, being able to win the championship is also a symbol of strength. Liverpool has shown their dominance in this game.

The defending champion Chelsea is a little bit, Liverpool is a strong side, so after the game, the media in England are concerned about whether Liverpool is a contender for the Premier League title.

In fact, Liverpool was the scoring leader in the second half of last season, and they have already performed very strongly. In the new season, they have supplemented in various positions, especially the midfielder. Can has grown up, and Ali is gradually taking on important responsibilities. , the newcomer Kanter also looks extremely good now, so can Liverpool really attack the championship again? !
"This season we have strengthened again, I think we are stronger now than last year, the team has not won the league for many years, I think this season will be a good opportunity, I hope we can get I am also confident that we can win the championship!" Zhang Yuan said in an interview after the game.

Klopp was very humble after the game. He said: "The Premier League is the most intense league in the world. There are 5 to 6 teams that have the strength to win the league championship. Now the transfer period is not over yet. Everyone There is a chance to improve, we want to see what we can do, I think we are among those 5 teams, and we will give our all for the championship!"

When Klopp said this, he not only talked about the popularity of the championship, but also said that he wanted to sign in. This attracted the attention of the reporters. Everyone seemed to know who Klopp wanted to introduce, but Klopp said that we have goals and ideas. , but it is still undecided!
