Chapter 15: The New Season Is Finally Beginning (Third Update, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
Judging from the pre-season warm-up, not every one of Chen Yingxing's teammates is in such good shape ().
Charlie, who forced a comeback. This was where Adam suffered. Halfway through pre-season training, he was on the injury list again due to a recurrence of an old injury. It's the same part that hurts.
There are two options, one is to have another operation, but this is devastating for the injured part of him and will also greatly affect his athletic life (). Another way is to treat conservatively and not use surgery, but the recovery period is very slow, how slow is it...... Anyway, it's always right to go for three months.
It was a huge blow to him, and what made him even more terrifying was the head coach Martin. O'Neill for Charlie. Adam was very unhappy with the fact that he had to make an early comeback, which led to more serious consequences. Adam is anxious to make a comeback and wants to give Martin a performance. O'Neill's idea not only did not materialize, but it was counterproductive.
It's really a recipe for stealing chickens.
Martin. O'Neal's new coach is supposed to be a time to evaluate the players' abilities, and by the way, to observe their condition, and at the same time, it is also important to maintain the integrity of the squad before the season. Charlie. Adam, who was the team's main midfielder last season, will miss three months due to injury, which is of course detrimental to O'Neal's plans. Before the start of the season, there was one more person on the injury list, and it was a recurrence of an old injury, which was really unlucky - the recurrence of an old injury means that for a professional footballer, his injury is likely to become a stubborn illness and can recur at any time in the future. That's too bad.
Martin. O'Neill couldn't tolerate such unprofessional behaviour from his players – he didn't think Charlie. Adam's early comeback is a sign of professionalism, on the contrary, it is a sign of irresponsibility for his own body.
In his heart, Charlie. Adam's place is already behind Lucas. Anyway, wait for Charlie. After Adam really came back, Lucas had already returned to the team. Adam's place.
Charlie. If Adam knew that he had done something bad with his good intentions, he was afraid that he would have the intention of transferring away...... It's so sad!
※※※
In addition to Charlie. Except for Adam, who is a little troubled, everyone else is fine, although the state is not the same, but he is not injured after all.
Inler was a little uncomfortable. The defensive philosophy of English football is completely different from that of Italian football. In Italy, he got used to the concept of team-mates helping to defend and defending as a whole. When he came to England, he found that his daring was not the same as Italy.
This will require re-adaptation, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem (). The players who came out of Italy were very adaptable to the tactics. Even for a person like Chen Yingying, who is not good at tactics, after coming to England, Dalglish said that he would change his tactics and move from the air to the ground. Chen Yingying only adapted to a few games.
If it is replaced by Chen Yingying, who has just transferred from Zenit St. Petersburg to Naples, I am afraid that there is no half season that cannot be adjusted......
From this incident, it can also be shown that Chen Yingying's tactical comprehension ability is much better now than a few seasons ago.
Martin. O'Neill knew that Chen Yingying should try to use his head as little as possible, so the tactics he formulated for Liverpool were biased.
But to be honest, most of Liverpool's players have rough foot skills, and although they play on the ground, they are also very open-and-close.
It's definitely not a technical stream like Arsenal and Barcelona.
However, this kind of simple and direct ground coordination will become infinitely powerful as long as Chen Yingying is available. And there is also good news for the arrival of Alexis Sanchez, who is one of the few players in the Liverpool team with good footwork, and his breakthrough on the right flank is very sharp, and his dribbling ability is great both vertically and horizontally. His arrival could enrich Liverpool's tactics and bring changes to Liverpool that could lead to victory in a game.
Chen Yingying's style should be familiar to the English team, but what about Alexis Sanchez...... That's a man who can bring infinite variables.
Fortunately, Sanchez adapts to the team relatively quickly, which may be related to Chen Yingying's good relationship with him. Johnson and Suarez were mixed together.
Martin. O'Neill, of course, would not have known that there was an underground organization in his team called the "Eat, Drink and Play Orchestra Liverpool Divider". So he didn't know that Sanchez was able to integrate into the team so quickly because of the food, drink and fun of the group......
But in any case, Sanchez has integrated into the team quickly, which is a good thing for him ().
First of all, he needs to determine the main squad through the pre-season warm-up games.
Rotation is to be done, but in order for a team to adapt to his tactical ideas as quickly as possible, it is better to have a fixed starting lineup, which will last at least half a season, if nothing else. Wait until after Christmas to consider rotation.
After a few warm-up games, in Martin. In O'Neal's mind, there is basically a suitable main squad framework.
The goalkeeper is Reina, there is no doubt about it. The main centre-backs were Skrtel and Agger, with Caguera and Coates as substitutes. The full-back is currently Glenn. Johnson and Enrique are the main players. Although midfielder Inle has not fully adapted, he is definitely the main force, and I hope he adapts as soon as possible. Gerrard, who partnered with him, returned from injury. If Lucas and Charlie. If Adam returns from injury, they will be a great addition.
On the right flank because of Sanchez, so Adam. Johnson doesn't have to play on the right side anymore, now Alexis Sanchez is on the right wing. Adam. Johnson went to the left wing, but he was a left-footed player and he was just right here.
Regarding the wing tactics, because Chen Yingying has to use his feet as much as possible, so Martin. O'Neill told Adam. Johnson and Sanchez can cut inside more and cooperate with Chen Yingying, instead of blindly going down to cross.
The starting forwards were Chen Yingying and Suarez.
This is the most basic 442, a parallel position in the midfield.
If you only have one set of tactics, you can't go too far in the middle of the season, because it's too easy to be studied. While the English coaches' obsession with tactics isn't as crazy as the Italians, a standard set of parallel positions 442 is too simple, isn't it?
So O'Neill also designed another set of tactics, which is 4231. In fact, the players have not changed, but Suarez's position has changed, he has changed from a striker to a member of the middle of the "3", but not a striker, but more similar to a shadow striker ().
Of course, it would be better if there was a full-time striker, but unfortunately Liverpool don't have that talent. Gerrard could have stepped up, but his main role was to shoot from distance.

Liverpool's pre-season preparations have flown by in a hectic way. O'Neill is trying to adapt to the team, and the team is adapting to him.
Fans have high hopes for this team. At every public training session, the training ground was surrounded by enthusiastic Liverpool fans.
Liverpool's results during the Dallish period were really bad, although everyone said that the bad results were not Dalglish's fault, but they still knew it very well in their hearts.
Everyone wants the team to be able to play in Martin. O'Neill's leadership is on the right track.
Martin. O'Neill's coaching ability has been recognized by everyone. Therefore, the change of coach between Chen Xing and Niang did not cause a backlash from fans and the media.
Because of the high expectations, the team's every move in pre-season training has attracted much attention.
Originally, the result of the warm-up game was not important, it was the process that was watched, the performance of the players, and especially the degree to which the new players integrated into the team.
But maybe it's because Liverpool fans have been losing for too long, and even if they lose in a warm-up game, the Liverpool players can feel the pressure right away. Liverpool's local media will also report on the warm-up game they lost at length, giving each player a detailed score and analysing their performances.
I was really watching them with a magnifying glass.
However, as a giant, this kind of pressure must be withheld, and most of the players do not think it is a big deal.
However, they are still a little unmotivated in the warm-up game, after all, it is an official game, and there is no punishment for losing the game. In order to scout the players, O'Neill made a large rotation, and the number of substitutions in each warm-up game was at least eleven ().
So it's always not like a regular game.
Now the players can't wait to see the new season coming.
In Euro 2012, England qualified for the European Championship finals in the summer of that year, but Liverpool only had Adam in the team. Johnson and Glenn. Johnson was selected for the England team, and neither of them was an absolute mainstay, playing a lot of games and basically not being affected by the European Championships. Steven Gerrard was not selected at all because of an injury. As a giant, Liverpool is relatively lightly affected by the European Cup.
After the new season, when Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City and other big international players have been affected by the European Cup, maybe Liverpool can seize the opportunity?
Judging from the warm-up matches, Liverpool fans can really look forward to it.
The England Community Shield whistles at Wembley Stadium on 7 August. Last season's league champions Manchester United take on last season's FA Cup winners Everton.
This game is the precursor to the new Premier League season.
In this scorching summer, England fans can't wait. The England national team's performance at the European Championship was quite mediocre, and England fans could only say that their feelings and hopes were pinned on the club team.
The theme of the promotional video launched in the new Premier League season highlights this sense of anticipation among fans. With the boring life of the fans in the summer, coupled with the wonderful performances of the stars, and the passionate roars of the commentators, people can fully feel the excitement of football this summer.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Everton in the Community Shield and lifted the Community Shield. It seems that although Ferguson is a year older, Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League seems to continue......
