1415 Rush Tactics
Today's winners, Arsenal, were also chest-beating losers two months ago.
At Anfield and Old Trafford in late August, Liverpool slaughtered the Gunners by seven goals, Manchester United set off an 8-2 frenzy, and the Reds and the Red Devils teamed up to deliver Arsenal's worst defeat in 115 years, and the last time the Gunners lost so badly, China's Guangxu Emperor was still on the throne.
Soon after, United and Chelsea teamed up for a magical game that, while the score was 3-1, there was even more bizarre behind the normality: Torres didn't score, Wayne Rooney slipped from the penalty spot, and the two sides squandered a lot of must-score chances, the score could have been close to double digits, and after the game, Sky Sports called the game "Old Trafford thriller".
United laughed twice, but finally waited for a terrible cry.
Just in the last two rounds, the venue is still at Anfield and the "Theatre of Dreams", and two incredible games appeared, the Reds slaughtered Manchester United 5:0 at home, Manchester City, played the Red Devils 6:1, the world was amazed, you must know that the last time Manchester United conceded 6 goals in the home league, it was 81 years ago, when the first World Cup had just ended.
In 22 years, 81 years, 115 years, so many rare spectacle games appeared so intensively, even Ferguson, Wenger and other famous coaches couldn't understand it.
After the defeat to Manchester City, the old man said it was the worst defeat of his football career, and Arsene Wenger also said that he had not figured it out when asked about this year's big clubs.
"That's a good question, it's hard to answer." Arsene Wenger said: "Is it because there are so many good attackers on the pitch? Is it because the team is playing more open now? Or is it because the top teams are more vulnerable defensively? We need more games to judge. ”
Arsenal beat Chelsea, Manchester United beat Arsenal, Manchester City beat Manchester United, only Liverpool and Manchester City are smiling in the strong dialogue, and this makes people look forward to what kind of game it will be if Liverpool meets Manchester City? The big score is a blessing for Premier League fans, but it is a problem for managers.
Villas-Boas says there is a need for reflection as Chelsea have conceded nine goals in a row, equalling the embarrassing record of '03.
Ferguson also has his own troubles, Manchester United's midfield has never been able to stand up, the waist is not good, and the body's resistance is poor.
Arsene Wenger is now confident, but after all, Arsenal are only seventh in the standings.
At the top of the "food chain", it seems that only Mancini is leisurely.
The Koeman who has turned into Taoguang is hiding the ambitions of the Reds, and the emphasis on local cup competitions shows that Liverpool's desire for glory is stronger than in the past, and there are still 28 league games to catch up with Manchester City in the standings, and the king of European football will not have the slightest joy or loss at this time.
The 10th round of the Premier League is over.
Manchester City are on 28 points, and the Blue Moon, which has won nine and drawn one in the first 10 rounds, is close to the best start in Premier League history.
Liverpool 23 points.
Manchester United 22 points.
Chelsea 19 points.
Arsenal 16 points.
Three days later, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage will be played.
In view of the huge pressure of Liverpool's multi-front operations this season, and Qin Xiong, the soul of the team, also has the task of playing in the national team, he has to go back and forth between Europe and Asia continuously during the season.
Koeman and his coaching staff spent more time in the boot room studying their opponents and developing tactical arrangements.
After Marseille came to Anfield, they never imagined that Liverpool's game tactics caught them off guard!
In the first 20 minutes, Liverpool pressed Marseille more frantically than in the past!
Pressed on it vigorously, as if it was a shipbreaker.
Marseille was suddenly caught off guard, or simply blinded by the frantic blitzkrieg of the Red Army!
3:0!
In 20 minutes, Liverpool scored three goals in a row, Qin Xiong scored twice, and Alonso also scored a goal.
Then Liverpool died down and began to focus on defense and control the tempo of the situation on the field.
Marseille is not reconciled!
At Anfield, the body was still not moving, and when I looked up at the scoreboard, I was three goals behind!
As a result, they also pressed hard, and Liverpool used strong defence in the midfield to constantly create counter-attacking opportunities.
Soon, a tragedy was born!
Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick in the first half, Raul scored twice in the second half, and frequently penetrated the Marseille defense through exquisite through the game, Liverpool seemed to be fierce at Anfield, but in fact easily slaughtered Marseille 8:0!
The course of this game made Fleet Street full of praise for Koeman.
"Liverpool have taught Marseille a lesson!"
"Coman has trained Liverpool with ease!"
Koeman wasn't proud of that and instead gave the credit to the coaching staff.
He believes that it is the credit of everyone on the coaching staff to make the most of the team's resources and bring about the victory.
In the other game in the same group, Borussia Dortmund won 1-0 at home to Olympiacos.
However, the victory sent Liverpool into the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Liverpool have 10 points from three wins and one draw.
Marseille have two wins, one draw and one loss, accumulating 7 points.
Olympiacos has one win, three losses and 3 points.
Borussia Dortmund also have one win, three losses and three points.
Liverpool advanced to the round of 16 of the Champions League two rounds ahead of schedule!
Such an outcome is not unexpected.
Liverpool themselves stand out in this group.
Back in the league at the weekend, Liverpool host Swan Heswansea.
Koeman continued with the same tactics he had in the Champions League in midweek.
Rush after the opening, attack!
Because of the advantage of being at Anfield, Liverpool has a much higher chance of winning if the opponent is not fully into the game and attacking frantically, if it is slowly entering the game as in the past and then exerting strength, the opponent has already gained a firm foothold, and the battle will be extremely difficult.
Although such a tactic is extremely risky, once the opponent is ready to give Liverpool a head start, the game will be even more difficult.
However, Koeman has spent more than two months studying and analysing the mentality of his opponents.
The fact that mid-table Premier League teams lose less than win against Liverpool speaks for itself: the opponents are overly afraid of Liverpool!
More than 90% of their energy and concentration will be on defense!
And they don't dare to easily hope and invest troops to break through Liverpool's city, and only when Liverpool can't attack for a long time, they will have other ideas to tentatively threaten Liverpool's goal!
Since the opponent is more fearful, then take advantage of this fear and create greater fear!
In the game between Liverpool and Swansea, Liverpool repeated the same trick, and in less than 20 minutes, under the tight attack in the front of Liverpool's fast-paced game, Suarez rewrote the score to 2:0 with an overhead kick!
Swansea is a bit of a blind too! (To be continued.) )
