Section 461 Chicks
Li Bin's words were out of the way, and naturally there would be no hesitation. When Tottenham hosted Liverpool in the first round of the league, Tottenham had already scored the first goal in less than ten minutes.
This result is somewhat unexpected, many people think that this game should be a battle of life and death, but what people didn't expect is that Liverpool has not been able to hold on for a long time.
'Liverpool made changes in the summer and their line-up for this game was Reina, Glen Johnson, Skrtel, Carragher, Insua. In midfield, Lucas and Mascherano partnered in midfield, with Steven Gerrard, Benayoun, Kuyt and Fernando Torres up front. Liverpool's newly introduced Aquilani sat on the bench and was not able to get into the starting line-up, while Tottenham's side, Coentrão was the same as Glen Johnson in the start, but Raul was the ...... substitute.
While the commentators were still introducing the changes in the main forces of the two sides, Tottenham's attack had already begun. And unexpectedly, it was a reversal of the previous game in which they attacked from the side, Tottenham directly chose to press on the middle, Yaya Toure almost did not hesitate to rush to the backfield with the ball, from the beginning of the game, he had to press Liverpool's midfield, and Cavani in the front court also withdrew, Di Maria also chose to cut inside, several people gathered in the middle of Liverpool at the same time, and they were not relying on their foot skills to pass, Instead, he is relying on his own active counter-robbery to put pressure on Liverpool.
And such an attitude immediately became apparent. Although Liverpool's defensive ability is still good, Mascherano's task is completely different now, he now has the ball after grabbing the ball, there is no Alonso by his side as a passing point, he has to pass the ball himself. Passing, he can do it, but the organization, Mascherano can't do it at all.
As soon as Tottenham came up, they violently counterattacked in the middle, in order to break Liverpool's rhythm of the game from the beginning - if Liverpool is really rhythmic now - with fierce counter-robbery, directly broke Liverpool's illusion that he now thinks he can organize a midfield offensive, and he lost Liverpool's confidence as soon as he came up, and then attacked them with all his might, which was originally Li Bin's idea.
If there's anyone who has dropped the most this summer, it's Liverpool. Other teams have sold some players, but they have been able to hold on overall. For example, Manchester United sold two people in the front, but at least one Rooney remained, and the loss in midfield was not too big. However, Liverpool is different from them, Liverpool directly sold their core players.
In the past few years at Liverpool, Alonso has always been treated as a core player. However, in the 07-08 season, Alonso was injured and played badly, which made Benitez unhappy with him. At the same time, Gerrard has repeatedly recommended his national team teammate Barry to Benitez, who also believes that Barry, who can play in the back and can play on the wing, is more suitable for Liverpool's embarrassing lineup, and wants to sell Alonso to buy Barry as a replacement. Especially after the Premier League's homegrown player policy, Benitez thinks so, in 08 he peddled Alonso, but Alonso himself refused to transfer, 08-09 season, Alonso played his best season, only then did he propose the transfer - even if he left, he walked like a man.
But after that, Barry, which Liverpool wanted to bring in, decided that Manchester City was more ambitious and went to Manchester City. Benitez wanted to buy people, but the club didn't have the money, so he got Aquilani from Roma, who owed money. But Aquilani has not yet fitted in, and Benitez can only use Mascherano to organize - his skills are good, but he is too far from the organizers.
Liverpool now don't have an attacking playmaker. In the past, they had Alonso in control of the tempo, so although their technique was not particularly delicate, they were still able to control the game very well. But now, as soon as Alonso leaves, their technical shortcomings are exposed, and Tottenham's scramble immediately reveals their prototype.
Liverpool's players simply didn't have enough to control the game at the back, and without Alonso, let alone counter-attacking under pressing, and even protecting the ball under pressing, there wasn't much that Liverpudlian could do, and when the pressure on Mascherano increased, there was a problem when he wanted to pass the ball to his teammates.
Forced to be snatched by Yaya Toure, Mascherano had no choice but to choose a kick back to Lucas next to him. Originally, this kick was a simple pass, but unfortunately, Di Maria had already predicted his passing intentions, and when he passed the ball, he had already stuck the passing line and cut the ball off with a direct kick.
Being cut off by a breakaway player in the midfield position, everyone knows what is going to happen. The Tottenham players immediately launched a sharp attack, Di Maria had already attracted attention in his run, he kicked the ball to Cavani on his left side, and he rushed to the right, and Cavani received the ball and kept passing the ball to the left at his feet. When Di Maria grabbed the ball, several people were still in midfield, but by Cavani's pass, Bale had already run to the rib of the box on the left flank.
Then, Bale directly crossed the ball to the ground, and sent the ball to the penalty area with some arcs, and Suarez, who was successful in the anti-offside position, got the ball, and had formed a single knife, he just took a step to the right of Lu, and kicked the ball out!
The football is directly hit in the near corner, this place is originally Reina's weakness, not to mention that Suarez's pace has made Reina a little confused. His fall was a step slower and Suarez's shot almost hit the post into the net as Tottenham scored their first league goal of the season!
"Suarez's goal! This is a quick counter-attacking advance, Liverpool's backfield pass error caused Tottenham's first goal to succeed, it seems that Liverpool want revenge is not so easy, White Hart Lane is now not what it used to be! ”
Tottenham's goal came a little suddenly, which made the Liverpool players a little confused. They remember that last season, they were able to beat Tottenham at home, and they were able to press Tottenham on the road, but how did they play so badly this season?
Without one Alonso, is the impact really so great?
Aren't Tottenham also deserving playmakers, so how can they play well?
In modern football, there is not necessarily a particularly obvious organizational core on the football field, but it must be based on the good advantage of technical skills, local cooperation, and the ability to replace the offensive core with a refined offensive line. It's true that Tottenham don't have a full-time playmaker, and Yaya Toure is their rhythm master, but he is not particularly good at this one. However, Tottenham have the skill and speed of the front court to complement it. Even if they don't have a particularly good passer, Tottenham are able to play up with a continuous upfield combination, and anyone up front can attack. It's true that Tottenham's tempo doesn't change very well, but when Tottenham rushes up, and when the frontcourt players use their speed advantage to rush up, the tempo changes quite a lot.
The impact of English-style football and the organizational power of the continental continent, Li Bin began to preliminarily blend them. He used the high speed of this impact as an aspect of the tempo change, and the technique of the Latin school as a guide to the British fast attack, and this change has already begun to bear fruit.
Of course, Li Bin was also inspired by Ferguson to do it, and these experiences were also summed up by Ferguson with the experience of the blood of Veron, Class 92, Fran and others, and now Li Bin bypassed those detours and started his own attempt directly on the shoulders of his predecessors. He has always insisted on the idea of pressing football, and after arriving in England, he has seen the impact of English football, and has become familiar with the delicate style of Italian football, Li Bin also believes that it is possible for him to combine them into a whole and form something of his own.
Lowering the requirements for control, coupled with high-speed impact as a means of adjustment, and making the impact and pressure an important part of his rhythm change, is the way Li Bin believes that football can be better.
Li Bin knows very well that the current Barcelona is the pinnacle of controlling football, but that set is too difficult to replicate. Even Guardiola himself, when he arrived at Bayern, abandoned Bayern and didn't use the impact well, and he also ended up failing. How to combine control and impact, he didn't finish and that's the biggest problem for Barcelona at the top of their game, doing better in that and failing to beat them.
Since I am in this era, how can I be satisfied if I don't play with them?
Li Bin's main training this summer is attack, with technical advantages, tactical execution, and good cooperation, his tactical thinking has begun to integrate, such Tottenham, compared with last season, it can be said that it has improved a lot. Liverpool, on the other hand, is even weaker. Why is it still lagging behind?
The chick began to flutter its wings.
What's more, Liverpool and Manchester United are not the same, Manchester United realizes that they have become weaker, and Ferguson is also deliberately remedy, but Benitez, he does not realize that his team has become weaker, and the Liverpool players are still unable to adapt to the sudden inability to beat Tottenham. In fact, if they recognize the reality a little bit and understand that their strength has dropped a lot, relying on Lucas and Mascherano, they may not be able to build a defensive field in the midfield, plus they have not weakened too much defense, and Benitez's temporary arrangement, it is still possible to stubbornly defend and seek a draw, but they miscalculated themselves, and thought that they were pressing Tottenham to play Liverpool last season, which is their own trouble.
If you don't take advantage of this discomfort to catch them off guard, what are you waiting for?
Li Bin doesn't know what kind of back-up Benitez is preparing to deal with him, but what Li Bin knows very well is: no matter what his backhand is, he can take the lead, no matter what his targeted arrangement is, he can target his midfield. As long as you take the lead and disrupt Liverpool's rhythm, your hard power is stronger, and you don't need to pay too much attention to it for the rest of the time, just rely on your own hard power to crush it.
Liverpool were disillusioned by Tottenham's early goalscoring campaign, which made their midfield even more unable to intercept Tottenham's strangulation. In less than 30 minutes, Lucas and Mascherano both received yellow cards, and Liverpool's situation has begun to completely get out of control.
And in the second half, when Liverpool wanted to rely on Glen Johnson to get forward and create some advantages, Tottenham immediately took advantage of the holes in their backline. This time, after Berneche ran in position, Coentrão went straight to the bottom, Suarez's long pass to him, and he directly found a cross from the edge of the penalty area, so that Yaya Toure, who was in front, headed through the goal!
Consecutive goals, continuous pressing! Liverpool want revenge, they might as well let it go, but it would be a mistake to think that now is the time for you to show off your power on Tottenham's pitch.
Times have changed.
