Chapter 55: Anfield Kills!
"Nan, are you going to make personnel adjustments in the second half?"
In the tunnel back to the locker room, Bracewell asked South Shaw the usual questions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Change, Murphy replaces Koné and changes back to a back four."
Before the players returned to the dressing room, with the help of Braitwell, Nan Shaw had already drawn some of the ideas he was trying to change in the second half on the tactical board.
"Carlos, don't regret that chance, I believe that after Nan's adjustment, we will have a better chance in the second half."
As the captain of the team, Cattermor is quite capable of soothing the emotions of his players.
"That's right, Carlos, don't dwell on the past, we have to focus on the next games."
Although he felt very regretful at the time, Defoe was more concerned about the emotions of his teammates when he walked off the field, and he didn't want Carlos to affect his confidence because of an inappropriate handling of the ball.
As the sound gradually became clearer, the players who had worked hard for half the court also returned to the locker room one after another; A bottle of water and a new jersey were prepared for each player in the locker room.
The players who returned to the locker room all took off their sweaty jerseys and hurried to replenish their water, and Nan Xiao also took advantage of the ten minutes to convey his next tactical ideas to the players.
'Koné, you played well in the first half, but in order to execute the tactics better, you had to go back to the bench in the second half. Nan Xiao pointed to the 190-centimeter Koné and said.
Koné nodded calmly under Nan Xiao's gaze, he didn't show a hint of dissatisfaction, but in fact......
He is indeed not a little dissatisfied, not only him, but all the players in the team trust the young manager in front of them, as long as the team can win, they can accept any arrangement of Nan Xiao unconditionally.
"Murphy, how are the preparations going?" Nan Xiao set his sights on the young general Josh. Murphy's body.
"No problem." Murphy's answer was crisp and sharp.
"Very good, I'll plan the tactics for the second half." Nan Xiao held the tactical board in his left hand and the black marker in his right hand, looked around the players in the locker room, and said after making sure that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
'In the second half we reverted to a back four, but not 4231, not 4141, 433. Defoe in the middle, Murphy left, Carlos right, the position of the three midfielders remains the same, our overall idea is one point, defensive counterattack, but the point of counterattack is not three, but Murphy and Carlos, Defoe you have to retreat more, Liverpool will definitely let Lovren and Matip focus more on you, you need to use more feints to cover the two wings. ”
"Liverpool's defensive system is the biggest disadvantage, the gaps in the two ribs are huge, Murphy and Carlos, you have to plug in these two areas frequently, whether it is Klein or Moreno who likes to assist, so once you form a quick counterattack, you must face two central defenders or Henderson in the midfield position, and it is your chance to play the advantage of speed."
Nan Xiao kept looking at his watch in the process of explaining the tactics, and after about 9 minutes of tactical arrangement, he put down the marker in his hand and said: "Everyone can indulge in your talents in the second half, forget the score on the field, don't care about the gains and losses of the game, let me see your best state, go hard, and work hard for the club and the fans who support us!"
Nan Xiao's motivation is exciting, he is good at doing such things, and he is also very happy to use his words to bring more energy to the players.
"Coach Zhan, Sunderland did make personnel changes at the beginning of the second half as you said, but it seems that nothing has changed on Liverpool's side."
"Nan Xiao has a very clear tactical idea and a strong sense of determination, which is a big reason why he has been able to lead the Sunderland team to such excellent results in the first few rounds."
Liverpool have never lacked goals, scoring 13 goals in their first six games, while allowing their opponents to score a whopping eight; Fabio Capello had a very famous strategy when he was in charge of AC Milan and Juventus, people called it "1-0" doctrine, which is also an outstanding representative of a kind of realistic football that was very popular in football, as the name suggests that I only need to win 1-0 against you, 10 goals difference is not necessary for me, 1 goal difference is enough to bring everything I want.
There are similarities with the "1-0" doctrine, Klopp pursues the second half, that is, the part of 1 goal difference, I don't defend well, I know, it doesn't matter, you score one, I score you two, don't you just do it? Anyway, I don't care if you get in a few, anyway, I just have one more than you.
As a result, the second half between Liverpool and Sunderland turned into a goal battle as if it didn't cost money.
Nan Xiao's change of tactics gave Liverpool the opportunity to see the stitches, while Liverpool's sharp forward pressure also made Sunderland's quick counter-attack accurate.
At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool broke through the door of Sunderland, Firmino received Coutinho's back-heel pass and leaned on Colo Toure to score a low shot.
Just two minutes later, Sunderland equalised through Carlos, who had missed a chance in the first half, and Defoe, who had provided the assist for him, found the astute Carlos with a through ball behind him, who calmly fired into the far corner in the face of Karius' attack.
After the goal, Carlos ran to Nan Xiao for the first time, and picked up Nan Xiao excitedly, he originally thought that Nan Xiao would replace him at halftime, but he didn't expect Nan Xiao to trust him so much, not only did not do this, but continued to hand over the offensive responsibility to him, which made him feel extremely moved, so after the goal, he ran to Nan Xiao's side without thinking.
If the first half is an offensive and defensive drill, then the second half is a full offensive drill; Goals followed in quick succession from both teams, with Philippe Coutinho's trademark cloud-piercing arrow, Carlos Carlos scoring a brace again on the receiving end of a team-mate, Joel Matip heading in a corner and Murphy still scoring his second league goal on the counter-attack.
"With about 10 minutes left in stoppage time, do you think there will be goals for both teams?"
"It's hard to say, but with the current situation, it seems that there will be a better chance of scoring."
Klein broke the ball off the line while defending Van Aanholt, Sunderland got a corner on the left, and after seeing the linesman's flag, Clattenburg turned around and pointed his right hand in the direction of the fourth official, and Borini stood next to the fourth official on the sidelines to come off the bench, and he was about to replace the ......
"Defoe, it looks like a counterpoint substitution."
Sunderland immediately ran into the Liverpool penalty area after high-fives with Defoe to take part in a corner.
'Sunderland had Van Aanholt handle the corner.
You Lu's words were very tight, and as the game drew to a close, she also seemed a little nervous.
Kolo Toure and Kirchhoff were both in the Liverpool penalty area, while Rodwell and Cattermmore were also on the edge of the box.
Van Aanholt raised his right hand and signaled his teammates in the box to get ready.
Run-up, kick-up......
"This ball is here!! Borini!! Liverpool's veteran Italian striker Fabio. Bolini! Kill the old owner in the first minute of stoppage time of the game!! ”
