Liverpool's style of play is very simple, or it can be said that Klopp's style is very simple, he moved the system in the "Hornet" Dortmund in the past few years to the traditional giants of the Premier League Liverpool, high-pressure pressing, running without sparing, rapid counterattack and a series of characteristics are vividly displayed, and this game they are no exception, as soon as the opening of the big forward pressure on Sunderland's three lines flattened, at the same time, Henderson's continuous lateral transfer of the ball on the periphery is also trying to pull the opponent's defense left and right, Then quickly transfer the ball to the weak side of the opposing defence.

"Normally, the formation of 532 seems to have added a defender, but due to the lack of full-back assistance protection, there is an obvious deficiency in the one-on-one defense on the side, 4231 or 442 and 4141 such a formation The two full-backs can return to the full-back's side to assist in defense when defending, so that whether the opponent wants to seek a breakthrough or the cooperation between the full-back and the full-back will form a certain limit, so Liverpool can completely focus on the two wings. Relying on the individual abilities of Coutinho and Mane to try to break through, whether you choose a cross or an inverted triangle back, it will form a certain threat. ”

As Zhan Jun said, Liverpool did focus on the two flanks, with Coutinho and Sadio Mane constantly looking for one-on-one breaks, while Moreno and Klein also regularly assisted and formed crosses after the wings.

However, due to the flattening of the Sunderland formation, Mane did not make a few decent breakthroughs, and his passing relied more on speed and change of direction than on the player who simply relied on technique to find a breakthrough when the defenders were already in position, and Coutinho on the other side of the pitch was not a winger, and his relatively weak explosiveness made it difficult for him to get cheap under such a dense defence.

'Liverpool kept up a high-intensity attacking rhythm in the first 15 minutes of the game and Sunderland barely had a couple of chances past half-time.

Nanshaw was clearly aware of the drawbacks of the back five, so he arranged for the two central defenders of Kolo Toure and Kirchhoff to be closer to the two wings to help the two full-backs to help the two full-backs, while the captain Catmore was also relatively recycled, so that he could better protect the team's gaps in the ribs.

"So far, Liverpool have had 80 per cent possession, which means that Nan Xiao has almost completely handed over the ball to the opponent and only does his own defensive work, do you think this tactic is reasonable? Because we often hear that it's impossible to defend blindly, let alone defend from the first minute of the game. ”

"It can only be said that there are pros and cons to this choice of the Sunderland team, they know that Liverpool's offensive firepower is very strong, and it is difficult to take advantage of them to attack, so instead of distracting the attack, it is better to focus on defense, and they do a very good job in defensive targeting, and they are not afraid of the Liverpool team to play high, because they know that Liverpool has no high point in the current lineup, let alone strong header ability; Second, he is not afraid of Liverpool's wide breakthroughs, neither Coutinho nor Mane are good at bringing offensive threats to the team through individual breakthroughs in positional battles. ”

"But this level of defense is also a very serious test of the players' concentration, and each of them can't let up for a moment, otherwise they might give the other side a big gift."

"So can we think that Sunderland want to wear down the Liverpool team by defending solidly, and at the same time launch a sudden and quick counter-attack when the opponent is focused on attacking and careless about their own defence, trying to hit the opponent by mistake?"

'It's inevitable because there's no guarantee that you'll be able to concentrate for 90 or even 45 minutes, so Sunderland will be looking for one or two counter-attacking opportunities at some point in time and giving the players time to relax.

In the 30th minute of the game, Sunderland really seized on Liverpool's passing error to launch a quick counterattack, Elviti's long pass over the top found Carlos on the right, and Moreno, who was supposed to guard Liverpool's left side, assisted the opponent's half too late to defend.

Lopren, who had no choice but to fill Moreno's position, quickly came to Carlos's side, he did not choose to stretch his feet rashly, but chose to follow the defense very steadily; By this time, Defoe had already cut in quickly in the middle, and although Matip was trying his best to chase back, he was always a position or two behind the attacking team.

"Very good two-on-two chances, Defoe outflanked in the middle, Carlos didn't choose to pass, he continued to dribble to the baseline......"

“Pass！ Pass！ Defoe！ Mid-way！ Nan Xiao kept shouting on the sidelines, he raised his hands, and kept making passing gestures, until he saw that Lovren destroyed the ball out of the bottom line when Carlos chose to cut inside, and then returned to the team's coach's box with his head in his hands on his face.

"This goal shows that Carlos is still inexperienced, Sunderland team has a very good chance to score, but unfortunately Carlos did not pass the ball to his teammates in the middle in time, and Defoe also looked very unhappy with Carlos's handling of the ball this time." From Zhan Jun's voice, it can be heard that he regrets the Sunderland team's attack this time, which may be the quality of a professional football commentator, from Zhan Jun's body, we can see that he has a strong professionalism, which is what the audience is most willing to see.

'Although the attack did not result in a goal, Liverpool will need to be vigilant as Sunderland's Carlos is extremely fast and will pose a huge threat to their own defence if he is given a large open area.

"South, Carlos wasn't in great shape today, and there was an option to put Murphy in his place in the second half." In the fieldside dugout, Bracewell suggested to South Shaw.

"No, we still have to rely on him in the second half against Liverpool, but we can't do without him." Nan Xiao chuckled and shook his head.

Bracewell saw that Nan Xiao looked like a bamboo in his chest, and did not say anything more, the current position in seventh place in the standings has fully explained the ability of this young Chinese, so what else can he question?

"The first 45 minutes of the first half can be described as a one-sided game, Sunderland rarely hit the ball into Liverpool's 30-metre area except for a good counter-attacking opportunity, and Liverpool contributed 13 shots in the first half, although it did not form a goal, but still posed a big threat to Sunderland's goal, Zhan Guide, do you think the game between the two teams will change differently in the second half?"

'My personal feeling is that maybe Liverpool won't make a change, but Sunderland will, they have Halilovic, Murphy and Borini on the bench with a lot of attacking talent, I thought if nothing else, Nan Xiao would have made personnel changes at the beginning of the second half, anyway, the second half should be a little more exciting than the first."

"In this case, we will also take a short break to see if the two teams will bring us a more exciting game in the second half as Coach Zhan said, spectators, friends, see you later!"

"See you in a moment!"
