The sixteenth round of the make-up round, not to mention, that game is on January 13th. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On January 16, the 23rd round of the league is coming, and that is the Merseyside derby at home to Everton.

If the clock were to rewind to the first derby, the media would still be scolding Liverpool for being old and sick.

In fact, the whole Liverpool team is united.

The players, focused on training, the coaches focused on tactical drills, and the management, in full swing, arranged a very loose schedule for the first half of the year that was suitable for the team's chemistry.

The team has long planned to run in the lineup in the first half of the season, and in the middle of the season, a large number of games, forcibly honing various formations that are enough to impact the results in the second half of the season.

Dalglish is indeed the head of the old school, everything has to be planned, and once something goes wrong, it is difficult for him to adjust.

But so far, nothing has gone wrong.

Most of Liverpool's voters are in the golden years of their athletic careers, and a small number of them are on the rise, and there are basically no veterans who are too old.

This kind of personnel composition is very golden.

Before the last round against Blackpool, the second half of the schedule for Barcelona had already begun, and their 2-1 victory over Levante also marked the official end of the terrifying five-goal shootout.

Aston Villa has not been able to do anything about Liverpool in recent years, and naturally they have not been able to do anything away from home, and they have come to Anfield and behaved very restrained.

In this game, Bale rested, Babel took the right wing-back position, and Kaka played as the left wing-back.

However, the formation was fine-tuned, with Dalglish keeping Kaka and Gerrard in the middle.

This basically means that the whole left side is equivalent to being released.

The reason for this line-up is actually to replicate Liverpool a few years ago, and this line-up can be used when the midfield personnel are not so complete.

In world football, most of the four-man midfield formations are one in front and one in the back, and two forwards on the wings.

However, it is not certain who the offensive focus will be.

However, some teams will also give up a certain side due to staffing reasons.

For example, in the previous Galaxy Battleship, even players of Beckham's level were forced to give up their best position, which shows that sometimes a certain wing or forward position is very congested.

Of course, double midfielders are frequent, and parallel positions are also advantageous, but this kind of thing is more funny, most of the time, one person has to rush up and merge with the forward line, and one of the front has to drag back.

In other words, the midfield quartet in the diamond-shaped position has actually become an irregular triangle, and in the middle position, it is actually overlapping functions.

Football is not addition and subtraction, and it does not mean that one of the strongest positions is selected, and a set of lineups is strong.

Nor does it mean that one person has to stand at every location.

Let's take a simple example.

Kaka and Steven Gerrard, whose abilities in the midfield position are nine and eight respectively, are 10 out of 10.

When they appear in the front midfield at the same time, it is about 10 points together, one player is dominant, and the other player is basically idle, playing a little support.

Then, Kaka is seven on the left wing-back and Gerrard is eight on the midfield, which adds up to fifteen, which is greater than the ten in the midfield position.

Is this algorithm correct?

Obviously, this is a wrong algorithm, because there is only one football and it is not attacking from the middle and left at the same time.

When both are in the forward position, it can form a perfect pressure on the opponent's second line of defense, and after the division, the strength will be weakened.

This is the same as marching to war.

So, whether it's a split or a combination depends on what the team needs.

But when the team needs them to be in the midfield position at the same time, the two have to adapt to that, otherwise the formation will be blind.

"Kaka is the main attack, Gerrard is assisting, and the last attack is just the opposite, Liverpool let the midfielder reduce the range of control, in fact, it is playing ground cooperation, in this situation it is difficult to play speed, but in terms of coordination, it is easier to tear not Aston Villa. This may be Liverpool's reserved formation for positional warfare, which is very difficult to deal with, but Liverpool have not used a similar type of formation. ”

"It's easy to understand, in the first half of the season, Liverpool is trying its best to build a squad of players belonging to this period, after the lineup formation is stable, and then seek changes, seeking more variant formations to deal with a variety of opponents, this is very common, such as Barcelona, although it is played in passing, but in each game there will be a slight difference, this season's Barcelona is strong, is to face every different opponent, can find a good lineup, and now Liverpool is also walking on this path."

"It's easy to say, but in fact, there is a big way, which is completely different from the change of formation of an ordinary team."

"To put it bluntly, you have to have a couple of players in the midfield to play this, and at Barcelona, Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta can do that, and at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard, Kaka, Bale and even Modric can do that."

"For ordinary teams, a core player has been hidden as a baby, the two core teams are basically giants in European football, and everyone in the midfield is the core team, I'm afraid there are not many, if Real Madrid can be integrated, it can be counted as one, Bayern can barely count one, and the only ones left are Barcelona and Liverpool."

"I feel that there is still a problem with Liverpool's lineup, after the center of gravity shifted, the connection between Wang Zhen Suarez and the midfielder has changed, Aston Villa died to make up for Wang Zhen's right foot, Suarez is an opportunist in this lineup, it is difficult to open the situation."

"Maybe, Wang Zhen wants to attack his left foot?"

The commentary only put forward this possibility, and didn't think too much about it, if Wang Zhen, a super center who has lost his conscience, has also practiced the backfoot, what else are others playing?

However, the truth is that Wang Zhen can always bring something surprising to others.

When Aston Villa's players slammed into Wang Zhen's right foot, Wang Zhen had two options, one was to take the ball with his back and force a shot further to the right, and the other was to use his left foot.

Two choices, if it was a year ago, Wang Zhen would have slid the ball with his back and then copied the right side.

But what has Wang Zhen been doing this year? I've been practicing backfoot.

Others don't know, but Liverpool's players don't know?

In the 63rd minute, the football was sent to the penalty area, Wang Zhen faced the threat on the right side, dialed the ball to the left, Aston Villa's players only blocked the right, they thought that Wang Zhen's left foot could indeed score in the sneak attack, but in the positional battle, Wang Zhen's left foot shot was not threatening.

But in fact, they guessed Wang Zhen's level wrong, just like the commentator.

Wang Zhen didn't hesitate to pull the ball to the left, opened up a shot distance, and then picked up his left foot.

Shoot!

The ball hung straight into the corner of the right post, the angle was perfect, and the speed was so fast that it was not at all obvious that it was a backfoot shot.

“goooooooooooooooooal――！ Wang! Break the silence and go to the next city first. ”

The two Sky Sports commentators looked at each other: "Left foot? ”

That's right, it's the left foot, Wang Zhen's left foot is called a house by the old horse in the FF system!

With one kick, Aston Villa defeated Anfield, and Liverpool went to the next city, scoring 53 points in one less round and returning to the top of the standings!
