Rome 1:1 Paris Saint-Germain.

Juventus 2:1 Chelsea.

Manchester City 1:0 Shakhtar Donetsk.

Porto 0:2 Sevilla.

Barcelona 1:0 Benfica.

Real Madrid 4:1 Besiktas.

At the end of the first round, Liverpool and Real Madrid were once again in the spotlight.

The match between Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund began to ferment early on until the end of the first round, and in contrast, Liverpool's strong defensive combination was once again in the spotlight.

And Van Dijk has become the number one central defender in the hearts of many media with his brilliant performance.

Many media are lamenting that the former Red Army is coming back.

The most glorious era in the history of the Red Army was the famous Shankley period.

The Reds were so strong at that time that they were looking for trophies to win titles, and Liverpool dominated almost all of Europe at that time.

Even now, if you take to the streets of England and ask an elderly man the question, 'What's your favorite team?' ’。

Their answer is definitely Liverpool!

Why is there such deep-seated hostility?

It depends on how domineering Liverpool was at the time, as long as they played in the competition, the championship belonged to Liverpool.

This is the father of Liverpool who shouted 'football is above life and death' - Shankly!

After several twists and turns, the Red Army gradually declined, and they lost their former glory.

But that overbearing in the blood still affects every Liverpudlian.

In this regard, the Premier League media reported:

"They're recovering! That terrifying Red Empire is being rebuilt! In the eighties of the last world, he called Shankly's Red Army, and now he calls Klopp's Red Army! ”

In an interview with the media, Uncle Scumbag said: "The establishment of the dynasty? Yes! We're recovering, Shankly is great, the Reds are going to be great, that's my goal! I need to go beyond the goal! ”

It's a bit crazy, but Liverpool fans love to hear it.

There's nothing more ecstatic than surpassing records.

And when asked who would be Liverpool's strongest enemy, Klopp gave a surprising answer.

"Paris Saint-Germain!"

Many people have thought that this Liverpool team is against Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and other strong teams.

PSG are indeed strong, but they haven't reached that height.

Klopp's explanation of this is also very interesting.

'Whether it's Real Madrid's Galaxy or Barcelona's fantasy dynasty, it's a thing of the past and it's proven that they're on a downward trend, they're strong but they can't compare to Liverpool in terms of competitiveness in the future.

'Bayern Munich are the Bundesliga giants but I don't feel any threat in them, don't ask me why, I don't know, it's a strange feeling.'

"As for why Paris Saint-Germain." Klopp shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying: "Maybe the Tottenham Hotspur in the last two years left too much impression on us, and Villas-Boas and Yi are the goals we have to overcome. ”

"And PSG don't have honors, they're a completely new team, they have endless possibilities."

After a pause, Klopp said solemnly: "We are not afraid of anything powerful, but we must be vigilant against the unknown. What's more, it's not a weak army, is it? ”

Jurgen Klopp has a high opinion of PSG.

At Paris Saint-Germain's training ground, in the manager's office, Boas said proudly; "Humph! Count him as having a vision! ”

Michelle couldn't look down on Boas as a villain, and said: "It's not a good thing to be targeted by Liverpool, in contrast, I would prefer them to treat Real Madrid as an opponent!" ”

Hearing this, Boas smiled and said, "This is the gap between you and me!" You're too conservative, and since the goal is to reach the final, why not use a vigorous approach? The fans prefer me! ”

"Are you sure?" Michelle raised an eyebrow; "There was a lot of controversy about your tactical arrangements in the last game, they said you should learn to be humble, you should learn to defend!"

"They know a!" Boas scolded unhappily.

Michelle shook her head and said; "So, what do you want to do?"

"Their tactics have been thoroughly studied by them!"

Boas said indifferently; "So what?"

Michelle couldn't help but chuckle and said; "Dude, I knew you had a hand hidden!"

Now it was Boas's turn to be confused, he said; "I'm not hiding anything."

"Don't look at the jokes." Michelle smiled and raised her eyebrows: "If you didn't hide anything new, would you be so calm?" ”

"Do I need to be nervous?" Boas wondered.

Michelle's smile gradually stiffened, and she said, "You... Is there really no new tactical arrangement? ”

"Nope!" Boas shook his head honestly.

"No~~Yes~~!!" Stripeness on Michelle's forehead bulged.

No?!

How dare you say it so justifiably!

When is the time now, the tactics have been studied thoroughly, what will Paris do next?

A well-researched set of tactics?!

Neurotic!

Seeing that Michelle was on the verge of breaking out at any time, Boas hurriedly reassured: "Man, you calm down, you listen to my explanation!" ”

"Five minutes!"

Michelle turned to the corner of the table and looked at Boas with a fierce look.

There is a posture of 'if you can't explain it, Lao Tzu's table will be lifted for you'.

Boas is bitter, who is the assistant coach who dares to be so arrogant?

For the sake of Michelle's hard work (who has practiced sanda), Boas endured it!

"If the tactics are thoroughly studied, will we not play? Does that mean it's not working? ”

"Tactics are dead, players are alive, we have the system players who are most suitable for this lineup, why should we abandon these and pursue that inexplicable new tactic?"

"We know this lineup better than anyone else, it's been studied, but that doesn't mean it's useless!"

"As long as Yi and Neymar are still there, the dual-core system + large-scale running tactics can still provide Paris with strong offensive capabilities!"

Michelle frowned, "But...."

Villasjan interrupted with his hand, "I know what you're going to say, what if other teams follow Roma's example and start to defend intensively, right?" “

Michelle nodded gloomily.

Boas smiled and said confidently: "Then look at what they have given up for such a defense!" ”

He took out two pieces of information from one time, which were a comparison of various statistics in the first and second halves of Rome.

The most striking thing is that in the attacking landscape, Roma only accounted for less than 10% of the second half.

"It's .......," Michelle's eyes widened.

A smile tugged at the corner of Boas's mouth and said: "They gave up all attacks and fought back until extra time, which is not a choice that a team that wants to win will make!" ”

"So..."Michelle's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Our tactics have not been thoroughly studied?!" ”

"No!" Villas-Boas shook his head and said: "It's really studied thoroughly and they have made the most correct responses, but I said that the tactics are dead, and it is the players who play the ball. As long as these Parisian players are still around, then this set of tactics will never expire, they know better than anyone how to distribute physical energy, when to exert force, when to stabilize the rhythm, they know it well! ”

"It's like Barcelona in the past, is Tiki-taka no longer good? No! My opinion is that the collapse of the Dream Three Dynasty is due to the aging of the players and the loss of the main force! ”

"So, tactics are secondary, players are key! Do you understand? ”
