"I have carefully studied Pan Yi's 3-5-2 formation, and to be honest, there are indeed few loopholes, but it is not without breakthroughs."

At Liverpool's Melwood training ground, the newly appointed Klopp is discussing a strategy against Chelsea with his chief assistant Zeliko Bouács.

Bwach has been following Jurgen Klopp for more than a decade, from Mainz to Dortmund.

Now Klopp has been invited to Liverpool, and Uncle Scumbag has also brought this assistant with him.

Now, Bwach has also handed over a detailed report of the game, talking about his analysis:

'In this 3-5-2 formation, the two wing-backs are the most important. Whether it's Marcos Alonso and Joao Cancelo, or Cesar Azpilicueta and Ivanovic on the wings, their movement on both flanks has had a huge impact on Chelsea's overall attack and defence. ”

"However, they tend to press forward and leave a lot of space behind them. The voids here are often filled by the midfielders in the team. ”

"At the current Chelsea, Pan Yi prefers to use a midfield combination of two forward midfielders + one back midfielder, but both Hazard and B are inclined to attack, so this matter is generally done by a single back Kante."

'When N'Golo Kante moves to one side to help cover the gaps, if we focus on the other side at this point, then our chance comes.

"Arguably, that's the biggest drawback of their single-back lineup. I feel like a lot of coaches have noticed this lately, and it's a good way to limit Chelsea's play by keeping Chelsea's wing-backs down and attacking with their backs. ”

"Of course, due to the strength of the team, they often end up losing, but at least they don't get beaten by a big score. In the last few games, except for Stoke City, who were beaten 6-0 in the Carabao Cup with a rotating lineup, no other team has suffered a big loss. ”

"But with the strength of our squad now, there is hope to fight them at home, as long as we can catch this weakness of theirs."

Klopp listened to Bwach and read the analysis carefully.

Then, he raised his head, and his bearded face showed a mouthful of big white teeth: "You did a very good job. You're right, it's arguably a fatal hole for Chelsea. ”

Defeating Pan Yi has been Jurgen Klopp's biggest goal in recent years.

It can even be said that one of the big reasons for coming to the Premier League and Liverpool is that you can face Pan Yi with a better lineup here!

It's also a picture he imagined when he was in the Bundesliga.

And Klopp's first Premier League game after arriving at Liverpool was a 2-0 victory over a difficult Southampton, which also gave him great confidence.

In addition, Liverpool are aiming for a top-four finish in the league and Champions League qualification this season, so every game, especially every home game, is important.

If we can beat Chelsea at Anfield and beat Pan Yi, it will really be a double happiness.

'Chelsea haven't scored a lot of goals in recent games. Bvacchi pointed to the game data in the report again, "I think Pan Yi is also a little floating, daring to use a single back formation, but even if he is as strong as Kante, there is no way to separate himself on the wings to help attack and defend." In addition, he doesn't have regular wingers in this formation and relies too much on wing-backs when attacking from the wings, which is the important weakness I just mentioned. ”

"But in that case, their attack in the middle is still very sharp." Klopp said, "The first two centre-forwards Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, plus the two forward midfielders Eden Hazard and Bernardo Silva, the firepower is really good. ”

】

Bwach nodded: "Then we just have to defend against this accordingly." ”

Klopp thought for a moment: "Then let's put three midfielders against them." On the one hand, we have to defend against their attacks in the middle, and on the other hand, we have to seize the loopholes behind their wing-backs, and take advantage of their lack of timely defense from the single back to hit them hard. ”

"Hmm." "In that case, the characteristics of our Coutinho and Lallana will play a key role in this game, and we have to take advantage of this hole and create chances around this area." ”

Coutinho's technical characteristics are that he is good at dribbling, accurate passing, and powerful long-range shots, but he is not fast and weak in physical confrontation.

These technical characteristics determine that Coutinho is more of an attacking midfielder or a midfielder than a traditional winger.

But he can play back to the flanks and then seek to push down the middle, which is more abrupt and harder to guard against than if he stayed on the flanks.

Lallana is characterized by being able to run, be able to run, and have good technique, which fits perfectly with the large space thrust and a lot of transposition interspersed that Klopp requires.

In other words, he can also suddenly cut behind the Chelsea wing-backs to play a time difference.

In the early stages of the Red Army, Lallana was an extremely important tactical pawn for the Germans and an indispensable lubricant on the offensive end.

Now, with him and Philippe Coutinho up front, and the three central midfielders behind him against Chelsea's central combination, it should be possible.

Since Chelsea don't have wingers, Klopp has used a formation that has been built up in the middle, and then used the interplay of Lallana and Coutinho to rip up the wing-backs before looking for opportunities.

Klopp praised: "Then let's refine the training plan for the next few days, and you can arrange the relevant training later." ”

"Okay, I understand." Bwach nodded in agreement.

Now that Chelsea's weakness has been grasped, it is up to Klopp and the coaching staff to create targeted tactics based on this weakness and practice defensive and counter-attacking tactics to restrain Chelsea.

Finally, Klopp lifted his black-rimmed glasses, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Pan Yi, I will give you an unforgettable meeting gift at Anfield Stadium!"

-----------------

"Audience friends, welcome to the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, I am your old friend, come to Inkel."

"Hi, I'm Alan Shearer."

"I'm Carragher."

"I'm Zola."

In the Sky Sports studio, after all the guests had greeted the audience, the host Ringel said:

'Today's match in the 11th round of the Premier League is the most high-profile match of the round, with the Reds Liverpool taking on the Blues Chelsea at Anfield.

"I'm sure everybody is looking forward to this game. First of all, it was Klopp's first official appearance at home this season after taking over Liverpool halfway through. We all want to know if the former Liverpool ship will be able to set sail smoothly with a new captain. ”

At the same time, this will also be the first meeting between Klopp and Pan Yi, two old rivals in the Premier League. Whether Pan Yi continues to dominate Klopp, or Klopp's successful counterattack in the new team, these are all points worth paying attention to. ”

'For Chelsea, they have only one goal, and that is to equalise the Premier League record of 49 unbeaten set by Arsenal 12 years ago!'

"The miracle that Arsene Wenger created with Thierry Henry, Bergkamp and Patrick Vieira was once thought to be impossible to surpass. But Pan Yi's second year in the Premier League is already so close to it! ”

"Interestingly, in the next round, Chelsea's opponent is none other than Arsenal! In other words, if Pan Yi can cross the Liverpool hurdle today, then whether Chelsea can finally break Arsenal's record will depend on Arsenal themselves! ”

"Is this a coincidence? Or is it a providence? Either way, Chelsea have to get out of at Anfield first, otherwise the game in a week's time won't be as significant. ”

'It was seen on TV footage that Russian Roman Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea's backroom, was also there to watch the game, but the Anfield fans did not seem to welcome him and booed him.

"Okay, we've got Liverpool's starting lineup first, let's see how Klopp is ready to deal with his old rival Pan Yi."

"It looks like a 4-3-2-1 formation? Goalkeeper Minho came, the back line is Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Klein, the three midfielders are Emre Can, Henderson, Milner, the double forward is Coutinho and Lallana, and the center forward is Firmino. ”

"What do you think about the starting line-up?"

With that, Linkel threw the question to Carragher, a famous Red Army player.

'Jurgen Klopp lined up for the Christmas tree today, which was a bit of a surprise because he was known to be more of a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 formation. Carragher said in his thick northern accent, "But it's understandable, because Pan Yi's usual 3-5-2 this season is a central attacking style of play, and Klopp is trying to limit Chelsea's double midfielder and double striker." ”

"It seems that many people have seen the characteristics of Pan Yi's style of play, and they are all trying to find a way to deal with it." Alan Shearer also nodded, "Klopp didn't start the strong centre-forward Benteke today, but used Firmino, who was more flexible and dropped back, presumably to help the midfielders against Chelsea's central players." ”

"Yes." Carragher echoed Alan Shearer's statement, adding: 'Chelsea are mainly reliant on the wings, but Liverpool's two midfielders who started today are very good at interspersing behind each other, and Roberto Firmino's flexible movement should cause a lot of problems for Chelsea. ”

Ringel also said: "Then it seems that Klopp is very well prepared today. Judging from the camera, he also looks confident. Maybe today is the beginning of his defeat of Pan Yi? ”

Carragher laughed, "I hope so. The revival of the Reds may start with this game, and I am looking forward to it! ”

But at this time, Pan Yi's brainless fan Zola snorted: "You analyze it like this, do you think our Pan Yi is too simple?" He's not playing 3-5-2 anymore and if that's that easy to play against, why haven't Chelsea lost so far this season? ”

Lyinkel laughed: "You're right. Let's not forget that Pan Yi's most powerful thing is his on-the-spot change. Even if the initial formation is firmly restrained by the opponent, he can quickly figure out how to deal with it...... Ah, Chelsea's starting line-up is out, so let's take a look. ”

Under the reminder of Inkel, all the guests also turned their attention to the big screen.

Portraits of Chelsea players and their formations have already appeared.

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois.

Defenders: Ake, Virgil van Dijk, John Terry.

Defenders: N'Golo Kante, David Luiz.

Front: Eden Hazard, Jesse Lingard, Seat B, Gnabry.

Centre-forward: Harry Kane.

Looking at this starting list, a question mark slowly popped up in Inkel's head: "? ”

Alan Shearer said: "?? ”

Carragher: "??? ”

Then they all said in unison: "Why are there no linebackers?" ”

Yes, Pan Yi's lineup is a 3-2-4-1 combination of three central defenders + double backs + two forwards + two wingers + single center forwards from the standing, and there are no fullbacks at all.

It didn't matter if it was a full-back or a wing-back, whether it was Marcos Alonso or Azpilicueta, none of them played!

Zola opened his mouth wide, surprised and delighted: "Haha, Pan Yi is really new again!"

”

Yes, it's definitely new, and it's earth-shattering.

You know, in the mainstream tactical play in this world, whether it is 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2 in the back four, or 3-4-3, 3-5-2 in the back three, the defense and assists of the full-backs are very important components.

But today, Pan Yi's lineup is not a single fullback?

In the front court, Hazard, Lingard, B, and Gnabry, the four players who were originally a bit mutually exclusive and would normally only play two of them, Pan Yi threw them all at once.

Even if these hosts and guests of Sky Sports are retired stars and can be said to be football experts, this is still beyond their knowledge.

"Their wings...... Just two wingers? Is that enough? After a while, Ingel raised his own question, "Even the main center Lukaku did not play...... Pan Yi, has he even given up on the fulcrum in the middle lane? ”

"Maybe we'll let the two midfielders and the two midfielders in the middle help." Alan Shearer touched his now bald head and thought, "But I still can't figure out the logic of this formation. ”

"Today, David Luiz was also pushed to the back position to cooperate with Kante, which may also be a change of trick for Pan Yi." "But I don't really understand, isn't it okay to use Matic or Goretzka?" Why do you have to use a centre-back to play as a central midfielder? ”

Zola laughed again: "If you all guess it, can Pan Yi still be regarded as a Shiyi Sect?" Just let you coach! Being a good manager doesn't just sit in the studio and play around like we do......"

"Don't say it, I heard that Gary Neville is already preparing to coach." Inkel also laughed, "You guys keep laughing at him, and now he really wants to prove that he can be a manager!" ”

"Really, what team is so unsightly?" Carragher took the opportunity to damage this good friend of his, "No wonder he hasn't come to the show recently." ”

Leinkel replied: "Valencia." ”

Everyone nodded slightly, and shook their heads slightly.

Valencia have not played well this season, finishing seventh in La Liga after 10 games, which is a bit worse for a team that has been trying to reach the Champions League.

Because of this, their coach, Portuguese Nuno, has also been in the whirlpool of public opinion recently.

Just, why Gary Neville?

How does this Valencia Singaporean boss feel about the not-so-smart Ako......

Wouldn't it really be fooled by Gary Neville's mouthful cannons in the commentary and guest seats?

It's just that although everyone thinks so in their hearts, they still don't say it.

After all, everyone is a friend, and it's okay to lose a loss once in a while, but you can't just drop someone's job.

Besides, what if Gary Neville really has a talent for coaching?

When the time comes, he will lead Valencia back to the Champions League, and then have a decisive battle with Pan Yi, and finally defeat Pan Yi in a counterattack, what a bloody and inspirational story!

"Alright, everyone, wake up."

Rainkel pointed to the big screen: "The game is about to start, let's pay attention to this strong conversation first." How did Pan Yi's 3-2-4-1 formation, which can be said to be unheard of in world football, play, let's observe it again in the game! ”

On the live broadcast of the game, the players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee, and the entire Anfield stadium suddenly heard bursts of cheers, mixed with boos.

It was clear that the cheers were for the home team Liverpool and the boos were for Chelsea.

"We saw the head coach of both teams, Pan Yi and Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp, shaking hands at the exit of the players' tunnel, and they can be said to be old rivals, but they can also be said to be old friends."

Since his second season at Hamburg, Pan Yi has been unbeaten in the league and has been unbeaten in 48 games in the Premier League. If you count it according to his personal record, Pan Yi has been undefeated in 85 consecutive games in the five major leagues! This is an unprecedented horror in the history of the European professional league! ”

Klopp also said in his pre-match press conference that beating Pan Yi has always been his biggest goal, and it will make him feel a great honor.

"Now that both teams are poised to go, it's up to see if Jurgen Klopp can end Pan Yi's unbeaten streak, or if Pan Yi will lead his Chelsea team to break record after record!"

In the passionate commentary of the commentator, with the whistle of the referee, the focus of this round of the Premier League officially began!

-----------------

For Klopp, he was a bit of a composure when he shook hands with Pan Yi before the game.

Because when he saw Chelsea's starting line-up, he was undoubtedly surprised!

The attack group of five people, the double back waist, especially the wingless guards, this is something he never expected!

This can't be blamed on Klopp, after all, in the history of world football, there are not many games where anyone will have such a formation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Pan Yi created it.

Although Chelsea used the "pseudo-centre-back + pseudo-full-back" style of play against Manchester City last season, there are still full-backs, or they are still within the range of everyone's understanding.

But it's really a borderless guard, and it's really unique in the world!

Therefore, in such a short period of time, it was too difficult for Klopp to immediately think of Pan Yi's intentions and come up with a way to crack it.

Just like those guests at Sky Sports, Klopp is also confused!

In other words, I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked.

But one thing is certain, that is, Klopp's preparation before the game is estimated to be nullified.

Chelsea is neither a double striker, nor a single midfielder, nor a double wingback, and of course the original targeted deployment is not needed.

But now, Klopp can only bite the bullet.

He didn't know what Pan Yi thought about discharging this strange formation, and of course he didn't know how to adjust it, so he could only let the players adapt to the situation.

Now Klopp can only hope for Pan Yi's change, which is a whimsical work, but it will make the Chelsea players mess up!

Therefore, when Pan Yi shook hands with Klopp and left him with a meaningful look, Klopp also put aside a cruel sentence:

"Don't think you're going to scare me. I'm ready to beat you! ”
