"Zhang Yuan is really thoughtful about this goal, Schmeichel's position is a bit careless, I didn't expect Liverpool's advance speed to be so fast!" Zhou Qiang commented, "Coach Zhang just said that you should be careful of Liverpool's counterattack, and Liverpool responded so quickly!"

"Now it seems that Klopp's move of Zhang Yuan to the side is not a bad thing for Zhang Yuan, and the pressure on the guard has become smaller, which has released Zhang Yuan's energy!" Zhang Dao commented. Ｘ

But today's game is not exactly as Director Zhang said, Leicester City and Zhang Yuan's left-back Fuchs is not so easy to deal with, Fuchs has a head and height, the height is about the same as Zhang Yuan, and the speed is okay.

There is actually a bit of a relationship between him and Zhang Yuan, both of whom played for Schalke 04, but Zhang Yuan left Schalke 04 in 2010, while Fuchs only joined Schalke 04 in 2011 and came to Leicester City on a free transfer this season.

He admired Zhang Yuan more, and he said something in an interview with the English media before this game, one is to evaluate the Premier League and the Bundesliga, the brother claims that the Bundesliga is not interesting, Bayern Munich always wins 95%, and seeks defeat alone in the Bundesliga, and it is difficult to see such a team in the Premier League, and the competition here is fierce.

Because of this first evaluation, it triggered him to evaluate Zhang Yuan, he said that Zhang Yuan is amazing, because he once led Schalke 04 to raise the flag of righteousness and won the league championship, he said that he knows how difficult it is!

However, when the reporter asked him if he would pay special attention to Zhang Yuan in this game, Fuchs also said honestly: "I like him very much, but on the court, I must try to watch him and not give him a chance! I hope we can win!"

Before the game, Zhang Yuan and he still exchanged a few words in the players' tunnel, but when it came to the court, Zhang Yuan gave Fuchs a dismount not long after, and the first battle for the top ended with Zhang Yuan winning.

Fuchs was actually quite helpless, the ball was obviously his position, and Zhang Yuan obviously had a pressing action, but the referee Taylor didn't think it was a foul, and Fuchs complained to Miller a word or two after Zhang Yuan completed the shot.

Ranieri shouted loudly to the players on the field, constantly gesturing on the sidelines, pressing his hands to the middle, indicating that the formation should be tightened, Leicester City's defensive formation was a little loose just now, not that the defense was not timely but the formation was too open, and Huth did not get on the position in time, giving Zhang Yuan space to shoot.

And after experiencing this scene, Ranieri did not dare to let his formation press, Zhang Yuan gave him a great threat, as he said before the game: "Liverpool's recent state is not very good, but Zhang Yuan's state is very good, don't forget that he has scored 3 goals in the last three games, for us can not be ignored, we have to try to limit his space on the field!"

Restricting the space for movement is not only a magic weapon for dealing with a type of striker like Zhang Yuan who can pass and shoot, but also a magic weapon for dealing with a strong team.

Whether Ranieri has the ability or not, the answer is yes, he is nicknamed "tinker" by everyone has shown his ability, but his entire coaching career is quite unlucky, why do you say that, many of the teams he coaches do not have strong financial resources, and there is a big gap between them and the top teams in terms of overall strength.

Whether it was in Fiorentina, Valencia, Rome or Chelsea in the early days, Juventus after the turmoil, the team he coached was not a very strong team, but looking at the results he led the team, it can be said that he played most of their potential, but unfortunately he has never won the full trust of the senior management without a championship.

As he gets older, many strong teams don't trust him very much, thinking that he is old, maybe he doesn't know how to be flexible, but Ranieri is the manager who really lives to learn, and the tactical style is not static, and the tactics he has adopted in Leicester City this season have been very successful at least so far, making full use of the attacking ability of the striker.

Shinji Okazaki and Jamie Vardy, for example, have not been very efficient in scoring goals in the past, but they are very good at running, and they are relatively good at attacking, and they can often cause a lot of interference to the opposition team's backcourt passing.

Ranieri is also wise, Liverpool's attacking line is actually the best in the Premier League, when the opening attack could not be realized, Ranieri chose to recycle a little, reminding the players at any time to ensure that the formation is compact, and the front court relies on Shinji Okazaki and Vardy to create problems for Liverpool.

Liverpool began to gradually control the situation, but Leicester City's defense is quite good, originally their defense is not very solid, but it should be a different story when playing against strong teams, which is also a common nature of many teams, in the face of weaker than their own team focus on attack, defense is not strong, but when encountering strong teams, their mentality is at a disadvantage, and the defense is better.

Today's Leicester is such an example, their restriction on Zhang Yuan is always the first big thing, often Zhang Yuan gets the ball and faces the opponent's encirclement, Ranieri obviously has a lot of experience in this, he is not to let the players force up, but to grab alone, two people around him at any time to keep a certain distance, stuck Zhang Yuan's breakthrough direction.

However, after Liverpool grasped the initiative, the fast pace was really difficult to play, once the formation was dead, Zhang Yuan was not easy to deal with, he had two accurate long passes to transfer the ball, but because of the incorrect timing of his teammates' follow-up, he failed to cause too much trouble for Leicester City.

Jurgen Klopp stood on the sidelines and kept directing the players' movements, playing Leicester City's positional battles were more difficult than against other weak teams, the morale of this team was very high, out of a high degree of satisfaction with today's results, they were also very happy to faithfully implement Ranieri's tactical arrangement, which is not like other Premier League teams, sometimes when Liverpool's attack was unsuccessful, the opposing team often wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity to counterattack, and as a result, Liverpool counter-steal and play fast attack, unable to defend.

Leicester City will not be like this, even if there is a fast striker like Vardy in front, they sometimes do not launch a counter-attack at all, but choose to play the ball more safely, from this point of view, Ranieri does not think he must win Liverpool, and a point at Anfield is enough to satisfy him.

"Zhang Yuan was too much to watch!Except for a shot on goal in the 10th minute, Zhang Yuan didn't have a second shot on goal, Leicester City showed a high defensive standard today, and Liverpool didn't get any good chances!" Zhou Qiang praised Leicester's defense.

"Zhang Yuan's state today is not particularly good, according to the previous defense no matter how tight the defense is, when the team can't open the situation, he will also take the initiative to seek breakthroughs, but today after Leicester City's defensive position is formed, Zhang Yuan's passing is less!"

What he said is also true, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to pass in the face of the opponent's defense, the reason is only he himself understood, worried, worried about being cut off, worried about Leicester City's counterattack!

He persuaded himself to stay calm, the more Liverpool interrupted the ball in the positional battle, the more dangerous it was, Zhang Yuan on the field was really a bit of a loss, these should not be thought about by him, but today he thought a little too much.

With Miller's whistle, the half-time ended and Liverpool had some advantage on the ball, but the attack did not improve much, on the one hand, Leicester City's defense was in place, and on the other hand, the Liverpool players were in better form, but not good enough.

At halftime, Klopp laid out the tactics for the second half to everyone, he didn't know the reason why Zhang Yuan was cautious, he asked Zhang Yuan to increase the number of breakthroughs in the second half, and as for Zhang Yuan's back, he handed it over to Kante.

Zhang Yuan thought that Klopp blamed himself for his not very good state,
