Volume 3 Chapter 87 The Hand of Destiny, Dial

Bruges, an ancient water city in the northwest of Belgium, is known as the Venice of the North of Europe, with waterways and houses built along the river, most of which are in Gothic style.

There are few motor vehicles and asphalt roads in the city, most of them are brick and stone, and the beautiful scenery in the city makes the Liverpool players who came to play the warm-up games linger for a while, which is simply beautiful.

However, on the field, the Brugge team did not let Liverpool have a good time, although it was a friendly match, but at home, Brugge did not give Liverpool any face.

"Oh, Dillard, the ball is in, Brugge is 2-0 up, Liverpool played a ball of headless flies today", said Liverpool TV's Walker, a warm-up game that will only be broadcast live on local stations.

"Look at poor Vucinic and Iaquinta, I don't know why Liverpool bought them, they've played four warm-up games and haven't scored a goal"

The partner next to him teased him and said: "Walker, Torres didn't score a goal in the warm-up game at that time, you said he was the biggest parallel product ever, and he forgot the pain so quickly."

"It's different," Volcker argued, "I don't see any tactics, the pitch was full of mistakes, the two Italians are Spalletti's descendants, maybe Spalletti thinks they're more useful in the dressing room"

Today's game is their last warm-up game of the summer, and the league will officially start in a week's time, so to be honest, their pre-season warm-up game was really not good.

The main reason is that the whole team is very uncomfortable with Spalletti's offensive running tactics, which completely subvert the previous Liverpool attacking routine, which is changeable but complex.

With the exception of the two centre-backs and Mascherano at the back, the rest of the 4231 formation had to be involved in the attack and was flexible.

For example, the wing-forward can run to the center to score, and the center can retreat to the midfield to defend, as if attacking and defending all.

Mackin finally knew why Spalletti brought Iaquinta, because this guy has the height, the speed and the confrontation, the will, the center and the winger can play, and he is a big Kuyt.

As the saying goes, it is called the front line, the non-famous killer, and the best-stirring stick.

In addition to the low goal rate, all the work on the pitch makes it impossible for you to find fault, and he returned to his mentorship after Juventus did not get a chance, and he cherished this opportunity very much.

Vučić is deployed in the left midfield position, he is used to playing on the left flank, more of an opportunistic shadow striker.

Mackin had even anticipated that Iaquinta and Kuyt would turn the opposition back line upside down.

The problem is that it's useless to mess around, you have to score goals, they used to play very simply, hand over the front court to the trident, and then rely on their individual ability to play with or attack the goal directly.

It's not for nothing that fans call them Liverpool's 3R, it's too complicated to play now, and chaos is inevitable.

For Spalletti's tactics, they have taken many tactical classes this month, and they have been training according to the routines during the training, not that they don't understand, but it's one thing to understand, and it's another thing to be able to play.

The biggest problem is that there are too many mistakes, because too many passes are done on the run, but unlike Barca's possession tactics, they are more aggressive.

The ball can be said to run at high speed for most of the time, and when you hold the ball, you go into attack, tearing, running, interspersing, and inserting to create shooting opportunities in the box.

Once the ball is lost, it will immediately start a local counter-robbery, high pressing, and the running ability of the midfielder is very demanding!

⊙?⊙! If two fast horse wingers are installed, Uncle Scum seems to play like this later, but Spalletti has never obtained an orthodox speed winger, so he uses the wolf tactics in the midfield to pile up and win by relying on local numerical advantages.

Spalletti touched his bald head on the sidelines, and in the warm-up he had been experimenting with the best candidates in various positions, so it was no wonder that the results were good, but it was more difficult than he expected.

Baldini looked at the pitch and said in Italian: "Our midfield combination is actually very strong, but unfortunately Kuyt and Iaquinta can't complete the connection role of Totti"

Who is at the heart of Roma, of course, is Totti, and it is Spalletti's 460 striker that has made Totti's European Golden Boot.

But that's because they really don't have a striker to force it, Spalletti has always wanted to play 4231, but it's a pity that Torres is gone, otherwise he is definitely the perfect lone arrow.

Spalletti touched his mustache and lamented that he was a little back, the money to buy Vucinic and Iaquinta was hard to get, and Parry would not give him any more points.

"Let's play again, when they tacitly understand the power of the midfield, it will be shown, Liverpool's midfield is really perfect", in addition to helplessness, the rest is to sigh.

Mark on the field has perfectly completed the role of playmaking in the midfield, and he is at ease, what if Pizarro behind Totti was replaced by him when he was in Rome?

Just thinking about it, Macqin and Kuyt wrapped up in the front, broke the opponent's somewhat sticky back, and then there was a scalpel-like straight stop, and Vučić quickly inserted it on the left side and pushed it straight into the far corner.

"Phew, Liverpool finally pulled one back, but do you have to rely on a steal from front every time you score?" , Volcker asked.

We have last year's Champions League Golden Boot, Premier League Golden Boot, Premier League assist champion, why has it become so difficult to score?

"Mark, beautiful", Vučić still speaks only basic English, but he obviously knows who is at the heart of the pitch.

His status at Liverpool is almost as close to Totti's situation in Rome, and in the past half a month, he has seen the golden boy of Europe who was famous in the world last season.

"Don't worry, get used to it slowly, Torres didn't score a goal in the warm-up game when he first arrived," Makqin said with a smile.

Seeing his ignorant expression, Ma Keqin didn't say anything more, but patted him on the shoulder to show his trust.

Vučić is a left winger who scores more than 20 goals a season, yes, he is a left winger, or shadow striker, not a striker.

Mackin doesn't expect him to be the same as Torres, but he should be able to provide consistent wide firepower as he adapts.

If the revamp is successful, they will become one of the best-looking teams in the Premier League, a tactic tailored to Liverpool's passion.

Run, Passion, Wild, and never stop! Isn't that what Liverpool has in its blood?

The heritage and greatness of a club need too many labels, not only champions, but also a large number of neutral fans and pseudo-fans, looking at the style of play, looking at the stars, this style of play is definitely not defense.

When he returned from his previous life, Pep Guardiola was forging City's style of play, and Liverpool were already in the woods.

This is a big change for them, becoming an attacking team, Mackin doesn't know if Spalletti will be able to succeed, but he really doesn't reject it in his heart, but welcomes it.

……

The Times: The 0910 season is back in smoke, with Chelsea taking the Community Shield ahead and Carlo Ancelotti winning the first title.

The Guardian: The top six in the Premier League, the six famous coaches, this season will be extremely chaotic, the odds to win the title Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea are the first, Liverpool, Arsenal is second, West Ham is third.

Daily Mirror: Wayne Rooney, Obertan, Cesc Fabregas, Nasri, Ibrahimovic, David Silva, Mark, Gerrard, Drogba, Deco, Tevez, Fabiano, Balotelli.

In mid-August, after each country played its own Super Cup, the breath of the league immediately came to the face, and the Premier League started early, and they will start the first round of matches on the 16th.

Liverpool's UEFA Super Cup will be at the end of August, and the Champions League will also enter the main match directly because they won last year's championship, so they have not had any official matches before, they are all warm-up games.

But Liverpool fans are a little worried about the situation of the warm-up team, because the game is really scary.

From Houllier, Rafa Benitez to Sami Lee, no one has really allowed Liverpool to play high defence in over a decade.

Spalletti is a precedent, so their warm-up game situation is like facing Liverpool's Barcelona, with a large gap in the backfield, coordinated pressing and not doing a good job, and conceding more goals is inevitable.

"Happy weekend, good mood, welcome to Stan's talk show, this is BT Sports", a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes is talking to the camera in a London studio.

"Speaking of this summer, I realized how poor I am, because the money I earn in my life may not be able to buy one of Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic...... Hair"

"All summer I saw green flowers dancing in the sky, so I started to complain about my numbness, why didn't you send me to play football"

The camera zooms out, and a dark-haired teenager sitting quietly next to him appears in front of the camera, followed by a voiceover full of screams.

"Mark, when I heard that your uncle sent you to Cocoby, could he have thought that you would be so valuable?" Laugh.

Mark Qin shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "At that time, I went to play football because I couldn't afford to go to school."

"Ha......", he and Stan both laugh silently, making an opening kick-off.

"Alright, without further ado, Mark, what do you think of this summer, do you think it's normal?" , Stan asked.

Mackin nodded, "The commercial development of modern football is getting better and better, and there are more and more audiences, but players, especially stars, are always rare, so it is normal, and it will be higher in the future."

"Will it be high?" Stan was surprised, "More than 100 million?" It's hard to imagine if it could be you", he asked sharply.

"Maybe it's you," Makqin said with a smile, "but the unit is the lira"

"Ha......", "Good thing it's not VND", Stan wiped a handful of non-existent sweat.

'The Premier League starts tomorrow, what are your expectations for this season, and is there any hope for Liverpool to continue their success?'

"Of course, we're definitely in contention"

"But you're gone to be the leading goalscorer, and you're not scared when you see the Manchester City and West Ham line-ups?"

Shit, you're going to be scared! Countless Reds fans in front of the TV raised their middle fingers.

"Frankly", Makqin made an indifferent expression, "I don't feel anything"

"Because you're the most expensive at the moment?"

"Keep up this level and you'll become the most famous talk show host in the UK", Makqin looked like I am optimistic about you.

"Ha ......", Stan sneered, this kind of show is all about this kind of atmosphere.

'Two days ago, Ibrahimovic and Balotelli both said they were the top stars in the Premier League, what do you think?'

"Oh", Mark Qin sighed, "Then they have to divide the winner first, and then they have to PK many rounds before they can come to me"

"Well, you're qualified to say that," Stan gave a thumbs up and asked, "Do you think you're sure of this year's Golden Globes and Golden Boys?" ”

"I don't know", he scratched his head and said, "I think I'm qualified, but I'm not a judge, the golden boy is facing the problem of winning consecutive awards, and the Golden Ball, if it's Messi, I'm not surprised, because he does perform much better than me in the league"

"If you can win the Golden Ball, you will break the age record of the alien Ronaldo, just think about it makes me excited, the 18-year-old Golden Ball, maybe no one will be able to break this record in the future"

"I hope so, because the day I retire, it's going to be a great feeling when I'm all over the place."

"Ha ......"
