Football’s First Defender

Quick transfer operations actually have considerable advantages. Not only can players come in and out in a planned way, so that the team is in a favorable stage of control, but it also avoids the embarrassment of some players leaving after reporting.

You must know that because the transfer window generally ends in early September, and most teams will gradually gather their teams around July for restorative training.

So many times, during the long transfer period, such embarrassing things will happen.

Obviously a player, who is still in the team, has just happily participated in a training session. After the training may end, the team will send a notice that he has been "sold". Among them, the feeling of packing up their bags "ghostly", many players who have experienced this experience, have said that it is extremely bad.

Not only for the individual players who leave, but also for players and familiar teammates who leave the team after the training camp starts soon, which is also a disguised blow to the team's morale.

Moreover, the departure and introduction of players at the end of the transfer period will also have a great impact on the head coach's tactical training arrangements.

And now, with the experienced operation of the management from the United States.

At least Liverpool don't have to worry about this issue. With the team's early announcement that the team's summer transfer work for the first team will end early, new players will report as soon as they should, and old players can also prepare for the new season with peace of mind.

Head coach Rodgers and his coaching team will gather together early to discuss what kind of lineup will be arranged for the current staffing next season.

The first question, for Liverpool today, is what kind of lineup the team should choose.

It's a pity that Benteke, who is such an excellent player for high points, is not used in offensive tactics.

You know, last season, in a weak team like Aston Villa, Benteke was able to score more than ten goals in the league, so with the support of Liverpool's excellent wide cross, Benteke Gram's space to play is actually bigger.

After all, Liverpool's wide crosses and the configuration of offensive players are a few grades higher than Aston Villa's.

Let’s talk about creating opportunities for set kicks. Liverpool’s 7.2 corner kicks per game are there. How many opportunities for setting kicks and headings can be created for Benteke and Yang Feng...

And after the transfer, Benteke, who made his debut, gave the fans the first impression of being physically strong. In the eyes of many fans, his muscles and looks are like James on the football field.

Everyone expects that next season, he will be able to rely on his body to push horizontally like James in the NBA. At least, for many old fans, the cost of Liverpool should not be as expensive as it was a few years ago. Carol like that, it's all in vain again...

In the arrangement of the team's lineup, for Rogers, the defense line may only make certain adjustments to the appearance of personnel in various positions, especially the full-backs, but the four-back system will not undergo any changes.

Then the scope is reduced to how the six players in the center and front field should arrange troops.

Henderson and Coutinho are inevitable in Rodgers' mind. Henderson's running and attacking from the back are a huge supplement to Liverpool's entire center, both offensive and defensive; and Coutinho O, his breakthrough, peripheral long-range shots, and the same growing passing ability, is a well-deserved core of Liverpool's frontcourt playmaker.

And after the two core players of last season occupied the position, Benteke and Firmino, who spent a lot of money to buy this summer, these two super-high-priced signings, wouldn't the money be wasted if they didn't start?

All over 40 million euros, and then bought as a substitute? Liverpool does not have the financial resources of Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Manchester City, and they are so profligate.

So who are the only two spots left?

Sturridge, Lallana, Lucas, Emre Can, Milner who just arrived on a free transfer?

Players with outstanding strength one after another, who to play, who to start, and what formation to use have become the first problems Rogers has to solve.

In terms of lineup selection, 442 and 433 each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

At first, Rodgers still wanted to continue to use the 433 offensive tactics, let Benteke be the center forward, and Sturridge returned to his familiar left winger position, and then let Coutinho replace Ster Lin's role is to use a technical style instead of a speed style to make breakthroughs on the right.

But considering Coutinho, if he is on the right, he will lose the threat of hitting the goal, and his personal performance will definitely be greatly restricted. He is not as powerful as the center and left.

At this stage, Liverpool really can't find a player who can replace Sterling in the position of right winger.

In this kind of helplessness of "no one is available", the 433 lineup may not be so brilliant when applied mechanically.

Let Rogers finally decide to transform the team's formation for the new season into a 442 game formation according to the best staffing at the current stage.

Benteke and Sturridge form the team's double striker.

In the midfield, Coutinho, Firmino, Henderson are the main attackers, and Lucas or Milner will start the game as the main defender.

On the bench, Lallana and Emre Can can provide vitality to the team's midfield in the second half, while Balotelli and Danny Ince can become the team's reserve force on the front line.

The most important thing is that after the signings in the summer, Rodgers finally won't be able to dominate the world with a lineup like last season.

Almost every position has a reserve of powerful players, enabling him to make greater changes in the game and create tactical confusion for opponents.

After the start of the training camp, Liverpool will start to practice tactics with such a lineup, seeking to run the team as quickly as possible and let the players adapt to the new tactical system.

In Rogers' prediction, at least on paper, the team's various offensive methods, interspersed together, should be able to form a multi-level, three-dimensional offensive method.

The new aid Benteke will play his most powerful fulcrum role. On the one hand, he can receive the team's long pass from the backcourt, serve as a fulcrum in front to complete the ferry, and make a wedding dress for teammates with excellent offensive capabilities.

On the other hand, in the offense, rooted in the opponent's penalty area, looking for opportunities, receiving crosses from Liverpool wide players, completing headers and creating threats.

As for the passing and control tactics that Liverpool became famous last season, as well as the frontcourt pressing, Rogers also does not intend to give up.

Even though Benteke will be a little cumbersome in the game, but relying on the running of other players, Liverpool may not be able to reach the level of last season on both ends of the offense and defense.

As for the pass and control system, this is also an offensive tactical system that Rodgers can carry out when Benteke plays the role of a frontcourt containment point.

On the front line, play the role of Sturridge, let him hide behind Benteke, and wait for the opportunity.

And other midfielders use passing and breakthrough attacks to tear apart the opponent's defense, walk on the ground, and create offensive opportunities...
