To say that Villa are the Premier League giants is not wrong at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The growth rate of young players, the power of the new TF-BP tactics, whether it is the performance in the first half of the season, or the strength of the book shown in the Wang Shuai system, Villa deserves to sit on the top spot in the Premier League. Of course, this book strength is calculated with the bonuses of Wang Shuai's various skills.

However, where there is "oppression", there is "resistance". In the face of a strong rise of Villa, it is clear that the rest of the Premier League will not be willing to be left behind. In terms of paper strength, they can't catch up with Villa for the time being, and these teams have started to play the idea of tactical restraint.

The essence of Villa's new TF-BP tactics lies in one word: fast. And there are only two ways to deal with this tactic. Or, go and keep up with the other person's speed. Or, to the same as ever.

The first method is the simplest and most effective, but it is also the most difficult to do. Because if you want to restrain speed with speed, you must ensure that your own players are faster than the opponent's, as long as this is done, then the "relative speed" of both sides is zero, and Villa's tactics will naturally be solved.

But it is precisely this that is the most difficult to do, not to mention others, Wang Shuai's speed alone is unmatched in the Premier League. If it's just Wang Shuai, it's easier to do, after all, it's just a return to the previous situation, and these Premier League teams can still deal with it. It's just that Wu Shi, David and Ribery, the speed of the three midfielders is also dissatisfied, and even under Wang Shuai's targeted training in the past six months, their speed has faintly ranked among the top in the Premier League, and even Zhou Aniu and Ibrahimovic, two people whose speed is weak, have already exceeded the average level. So, if you want to suppress Vera in terms of overall speed, you know that this is something that cannot be done when you think about it.

As long as you are not allowed to get close to the goal, then no matter how fast you are, the attack that cannot complete the final blow will be invalid. However, this method also has a limitation, that is, it requires that there must be enough tacit understanding between defensive players. After all, with all of Villa's attacking players in a state of high-speed movement, even the slightest leak in the back line is likely to be seized by Villa and pose a lethal threat. Therefore, teams such as Liverpool and Arsenal, who have restructured their backline, are clearly not suitable for this approach, because they do not have a good understanding at the back.

So for these two teams, if neither method can be used, can they just let Villa slaughter?

The answer, of course, is no.

The managers of Liverpool and Arsenal, and even all the managers who have followed Villa's new tactics, have found the fatal flaw of this tactic, which is the huge physical exertion.

They found that the timing of Wang Shuai's change to this set of tactics in every game was in the second half. And whether it was at the beginning of the second half or after more than ten minutes of the second half, the new tactics never lasted more than half an hour. In other words, the new TF-BP tactics are like a "strong medicine", which can increase the strength in a short time, but after the time limit, it will make the user tired.

And the opportunity for Liverpool and Arsenal is also when Villa has not yet used this set of tactics, and when they have used this set of tactics. As for how to deal with the improved TF-BP tactics, they can only defend with all their might, and they can withstand as much as they can.

Coincidentally, the first Premier League game after the New Year was Liverpool's home game against Aston Villa, and all eyes of England were focused on Anfield.

……

As if anticipating that Villa would not use a new tactic in the first half, Liverpool unleashed a powerful onslaught for a full 45 minutes in the first half. Villa, on the other hand, were suppressed in their own half for most of the time, except for a goal in the 8th minute with a defensive counter-attack. And despite the fact that Villa had shrunk their formation, they conceded three goals in the first half in the face of Liverpool's frantic attack, trailing the home side 3-1 at half-time.

This score is not unusual, Liverpool replaced defensive players in the summer, but the trident is still the trident, the Reds' attack power is still one of the best in the Premier League, so Wang Shuai was ready to play a "big score" game with Liverpool before the game.

It's just that falling behind by two goals in the first half still made Villa a little passive. And after Wang Shuai returned to the locker room at halftime, he only said one sentence: "Have a good rest and get the field back in a while." ”

After saying that, he closed his eyes and recuperated.

In the second half, it became a copy of the first half, but the offensive and defensive sides turned around.

As soon as the second half began, Villa moved out the improved TF-BP tactics and everyone began to accelerate. And Liverpool also expected this situation, and set up a bus at the beginning of the second half, vowing to defend the goal to the end.

It's just that the two defensive methods mentioned above are not suitable for Liverpool, who has just finished running in at the back, so despite playing a dense defensive posture, it still can't withstand Villa's attack.

On the other hand, Villa's side, perhaps because of the good form just after the New Year, or maybe because of the first half of the Liverpool fire, today's new tactics lasted for 40 minutes, until the final stage of the game, Wang Shuai Ming Jin withdrew, the formation was withdrawn to the midfield.

By this time, Villa had managed to overtake the score and it became 4:3.

And what about Liverpool? After 45 minutes of onslaught, and then 40 minutes of defending under great pressure, the result was not able to withstand Villa's attack, and it can be said that the Red Army's morale and physical strength have dropped to freezing point. So after Villa retreated, even though there were less than ten minutes left in the game, there was nothing Liverpool could do about it.

……

Villa don't have many games in January, in addition to three league games, there are four domestic cup competitions, and the best thing is that Villa's Champions League knockout game will not start until February. In other words, throughout January, Villa does not have to go abroad, which is not good news for Villa, who has to fight on three fronts.

And Villa, who are free of fixture problems, have continued to soar throughout January. In the league, Newcastle and Huddersfield were swept successively, West Ham United was defeated 6-1 over two legs in the League Cup to advance to the final, and two League One teams were met in a row in the FA Cup, and there was no suspense in advancing to the round of 16. It can be said that when January passed, Villa sat more firmly in the position of the Premier League hegemon.
