Chapter 54: Klopp's Oppressive Tactics

Klopp stood on the sidelines without being angry. Before the start of the game, Klopp did not say anything to boost morale, and for the current Liverpool team, Klopp's soul is slowly integrated into this team.

Jurgen Klopp's team is never short of passion!

From the very beginning of the game, Liverpool, who were playing at home, reacted violently against Manchester United, and their attacks came in waves.

Defensively this season, although Liverpool have conceded goals in more than ten consecutive games and their defense has been criticized, the media has never questioned the attacking ability of Liverpool's team!

Passion is Klopp's label, passionate oppression is the way of playing, and what Klopp brought to England from Germany.

From Herberg who directed the "Miracle of Bern" to Schoen who inherited the "Golden 70s", from Beckenbauer, who won the "Italian Summer" in one fell swoop, to Rehhagel, who wrote "Greek mythology", and then from Radke who created the "Bayern Dynasty" to Heathfield who won the Champions League with "one servant and two masters", and then to today's Heynckes and Loew, etc., the essence of German football has always been reflected in these German coaches - focusing on the whole, concise and powerful, controlling the situation on the field through active running and overall promotion, not aggressive, Not reckless, finding the first opportunity with a reasonable attack, using an orderly defense to deal with the opponent, the coach's tactical intentions are rigorous, the players' tactical discipline is superb, and the tenacious Germans have played a long-lasting progressive football like a Beethoven symphony.

The current Liverpool coach - Jurgen Klopp, is undoubtedly a new generation of German coaches who have inherited the spirit of traditional German football and are innovative enough, he has blown the whirlwind of his "oppressive football" to England, and last season, he has initially completed the transformation of the old English giant Liverpool.

Jurgen Klopp's team's attack is based on coach Sacchi's philosophy of "passing through the midfield quickly", not eating too much in the midfield with the opponent, running fast, playing the ball quickly, pressing on the spot after losing the ball, and counterattacking on the spot after winning the ball.

This set of high running, high coverage, high pressure three high kicks, has almost strict requirements for players - players need to always maintain a high hunger for the ball, always maintain a high degree of concentration, always judge the situation with other teammates to complete chain cooperation, not only requires the players themselves to have good physical fitness and physical fitness, on this basis, but also to have a good ball quotient and discipline to take into account the overall flow and integrity of the formation, any lack of any point is not enough to play this kind of disciplined pressing football.

But at the start of the game, there was no problem with the concentration of Liverpool's players for the time being, and no player would let up in a game like the Double Reds.

"This is the !! of Anfield" Liverpool live DJ chanting!

The Liverpool fans in the stands kept singing and cheering on their team.

And on the pitch, Liverpool's players almost poured out of the nest and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United.

In the first minute of the game, Liverpool created a rather dangerous attack.

Sadio Mane beat Sandro with his speed on the flank, then swept the ball low into the box, and the ball was kicked out of the box by Rojo in a hurry.

Outside the penalty area, Liverpool's three midfielders Henderson, Emre Can and Firmino formed a three-man encirclement of the second landing point of football, and under the three-person encirclement, Pogba, who had already won the perimeter landing point, was robbed!

Jordan Henderson took a long-range shot from outside the box and was denied a powerful shot that De Gea didn't dare to take lightly, as he shifted his hands and headed the ball out of the other touchline.

The Liverpool touchline ball was about to be sent out, Coutinho took the ball on the side and cut inside and then slotted his right foot, De Gea made another brilliant save to save the ball off the line.

Liverpool's corner!!

Such a continuous offensive made the Liverpool fans in the stands extremely excited. Not just against Manchester United, in fact Jurgen Klopp's side have always been so passionate in attack against every opponent. It's no wonder that despite Liverpool's poor performance last season, failing to finish in the top four, German Jurgen Klopp has won the hearts of Liverpool fans – a passionate style of play that is hard not to be disliked by the English, who appreciate fast-paced and high-intensity running.

That's what it is now.

Liverpool fans chanted Jurgen Klopp's song on the pitch.

"Oh oh we have a great manager Jurgen Klopp, oh oh oh, Jurgen Klopp.... He is the new king of the KOPs..... Jurgen Klopp Klopp Klopp ..... He is full of passion .... He led us to win the race..... Ooh Ooh Klopp"

When Liverpool announced their new manager last season, Liverpool fans wrote a new song for him – a testament to the German manager's popularity among fans.

"Hahahaha, good ball!! Liverpool refueling !! Jamie Carragher raised his arms in the studio and shouted.

'Liverpool were on the attack from the start of the game, United looked a little shaky and David had already made two saves in a row!' Andy Gray added from the sidelines.

'The players are a bit sluggish to get into form, it's an old problem for Manchester United. They have to realise that this away game is definitely not an easy away game, and they can't let the crazy form of Liverpool's attacking group play out! Scholes said with some concern.

'De Gea's saves are crucial, he's the cornerstone of our backline!!' Rio Ferdinand was praising De Gea's performance.

Manchester United fans frowned from the start of the game. Liverpool's attack was so fierce that in just one minute, they had already completed two general shots on target, allowing David De Gea to make two saves, while United had yet to get the ball.

Liverpool's corner was quick to come in and they served a tactical corner.

Coutinho passed the ball to Firmino, who came to pick him up, and Coutinho got behind him. Firmino pushes the ball and Coutinho wins the ball on the right side of the penalty line!

Coutinho then picked up the ball from this angle and passed it to the back post.

Fortunately, this time Sandro was very timely in his defense, and he stuck the position, so that Mane, who was ready to rush at this point, returned to nothing, and the football was also conceded by him from the bottom line.

Liverpool's offensive campaign finally came to an end and United got the ball.

David De Gea placed the ball on the line of the six-yard box and prepared to take a goal kick.

However, Liverpool have no intention of retreating to defend at all, and their three forwards occupy the left, middle and right lines, which shows the connection between De Gea and the defenders!

This is also one of Liverpool's tactics - resolute and even resolute high pressing!
