Klopp, who advocates high-pressure pressing, needs players on the field, putting in a lot of effort and running.

In order to achieve this goal, players need to put more energy and physical effort into their usual training.

In the long run, it will not only increase the risk of injury to the player, but also make the player mentally tired and slack.

After seven years in charge of Borussia Dortmund, the player's results plummeted after experiencing increasing physical and mental attrition.

In the later period of Klopp's tenure, the main players left in a row, and he urgently needed a batch of fresh blood to replenish the vitality of the team.

At that time, Rossi, who was still playing at Bournemouth, naturally entered the eyes of Dortmund's scouts.

When they sent Rossi's technical report back to Dortmund, Klopp was not interested in the somewhat lazy player.

Running aggressively is the most basic requirement for his players.

But Rossi's average distance per game is not up to his passing line.

There were even a few games in which Rossi ran more distance than the goalkeepers on both sides.

But this time, after seeing Rossi's performance on the field with his own eyes, Klopp understood.

Rosie is not lazy, but very smart in conserving energy.

His up-and-down grab is not a ferocious scramble, but an up-and-go grab with the purpose of intercepting the opponent's pass.

In Claudio Ranieri's system, the team abandons control of the midfield and quickly transitions to the counter-attacking tactics of the midfield, so that Rossi is up front and does not need to be involved in more defensive tasks.

Therefore, his running data per game is even more pitiful.

This is a tactic tailored to the characteristics of the players.

High-pressure pressing, even if it can put a lot of pressure on the opponent's defence.

However, Lyicester City, who have contracted their defense, have kept their two defenses very tight, and can form a counterattack when they have the opportunity.

Jurgen Klopp has a big headache with such tactics.

In the 14-15 Bundesliga season, Dort was targeted by many teams in the Bundesliga with such defensive tactics.

And he himself didn't come up with the right tactics to deal with it, so his results plummeted.

Now that he is in charge of Liverpool, the coaches of other teams in the Premier League will definitely target him, so he began to think about how to deal with it in the early days of his tenure.

Centre-forward Benteke pressed down the middle, while Coutinho moved on the left, dribbling to draw in the defence before moving wide to the weak side of the defence.

Firmino seized the opportunity to burst into the box and create a killing chance.

At Borussia Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp tried to play like this.

However, after Rawandowski's move to Bayern Munich, the team has not been without a traditional centre-forward who cannot pose a threat to the opponent's goal.

Coupled with the departure of Gotze and Shinji Kagawa, the team's midfield operation was paralyzed.

Now Liverpool, with Benteke, Coutinho and Roberto Firmino, can do a great job of the tactics he has laid out.

In first-half stoppage time, Benteke dropped back from inside the box to draw out centre-back Morgan's defence.

Firmino on the left quickly cut in and slotted in the space behind the centre-back.

People to the ball!

Coutinho saw the moment and sent a through ball forward for Firmino's feet.

Hutter reached out and blocked the angle.

But Firmino first used his body to carry Hute up, stuck his position, and at the moment of falling to the ground, swept the ball towards the goal with his right foot.

Schmeichel came out to block, but Firmino's shot was too close for him to fall to the ground before the ball went under his armpit.

[The ball is in!] 】

[Firmino equalizes!] 】

[Anfield is boiling!] 】

【goal！

！

】

Fans raised their hands and sang the team anthem, and the loud and passionate singing echoed over the stadium.

You'll never go it alone!

With Firmino's goal, the two teams went into the break with a draw.

The Lyicester players looked relaxed, talking and laughing.

Ranieri looked serious, crossed his hands over his chest, and said nothing.

Realizing that something was wrong, everyone closed their mouths, not daring to face the old handsome's gaze.

"Manchester City!"

"Tottenham Hotspur!"

"Liverpool!"

"Arsenal!"

Ranieri said coldly: "This is the league opponent you will face next, do you have to fight in such a state?" ”

In the first half, Lyicester City's form was not bad, but it was clearly down compared to the mental state of Christmas.

Claudio Ranieri knows what the player is thinking, and now he has 38 points, and the remaining two points can be won casually to complete relegation.

So against Liverpool, losing is inevitable.

"In the first half, I couldn't see your fighting spirit, I couldn't see your enthusiasm, I couldn't see your running, I felt like a farm worker, with a meager salary and a satisfied smile."

"You can do better, get more points, why not do it and be content with the status quo?"

Ranieri's words were like a resounding slap in the face, slapping everyone in the cheek.

"The league is playing here, and it can be described as chaos. The previous strong team, due to various reasons, did not play well, and gave us an opportunity, and we took it. ”

"But are you going to pray that they will keep being sluggish and keep giving us a chance?"

"If we don't hurry up to grab points now, in the future games, when every team is rushing to grab points, our results may fall directly or even be relegated."

"Christmas is over, the brutal relegation battle has begun, it's time to wake up!"

Ranieri's speech exploded in the ears of the players, and the sense of urgency and crisis during last year's relegation spontaneously arose.

They play two games each against Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in the next two months, as well as Arsenal and Liverpool.

There are teams that fight for relegation, teams that fight for European competitions, they will do their best.

The intensity and difficulty of the competition are no less than the devil's schedule in December.

At this stage, if the team can't withstand the pressure of these strong teams, it will usher in a big rout or even collapse.

They will go from being a Christmas champion and falling off a cliff to a relegation team, which is by no means alarmist.

This kind of mental blow is far higher than the physical body.

Almost motivated, Ranieri said: "In the second half, the opponent will definitely attack, I want to see your fighting spirit." Ding Zero~"

"Clank!"

The second half of the game begins.

Liverpool's midfield changes were followed by a bold form of players who pressed Lyicester City with high pressure.

After a few passes, Lyrc were forced to hand over possession.

Liverpool centre-forward Benteke, who has strong physical fitness, can play 1v1 confrontations with central defenders, and constantly harass the penalty area.

With this powerful high point, Liverpool can cross the ball and hoist it into the box.

In the 62nd minute, Benteke retreated to respond, Andy King stepped forward to interfere, and the two fought for the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

The tall Benteke can not only control it firmly, but also make Andy King, who is in the top row, helpless.

The two are not of the same magnitude at all.

Just then, Hut stepped up and joined forces with his teammates to cut off the ball.

Benteke first used his body to push through Andy King's defense, and then moved quickly to block Hutt's line with his back.

As soon as the two made contact, Benteke fell to the ground and caused a foul outside the box.

Drip!

Sure enough, the referee gave Hut a tackle and not only received a yellow card, but also gave the opponent a set-piece opportunity.

Firmino took the set-piece on the left side of the front of the penalty area, and while Benteke inserted it, he used his physical fitness to squeeze Hut behind him, grab the landing point, and shake his head to attack the goal!

【goal！

！ 】

[Benteke scored, Liverpool overtook him!] 】

[This is completely using the physical advantage, crushing Hut, heading the goal. 】

2：1！

Anfield erupted in deafening cheers again.

Bentek rushed to the corner flag, holding the flagpole with his left hand, with a proud expression and an expression of being called a king.

Ranieri didn't have time to vent his emotions and hurriedly called Craig to set up tactics.

Ulloa replaces Vardy.

Kramaric replaces Mahrez.

You are a genius, remember in a second: Red Sweet Spring:
