430 Take the Chelsea Sacrifice Flag [Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass]

"Cristiano? Ronaldo wins the ball on the right ......"

After scoring a goal, the right side of Ronaldo's attack seemed to have become the focus of Liverpool's attack.

After seeing him take Gerrard's pass on the right side, Tanat and Reyna followed him one after the other, Keegan saw that Ronaldo was becoming more and more active on the right after conceding a goal, and he also began to arrange for people to limit him.

You can't let the Portuguese attack with impunity, can you?

This time, after Xiao Xiaoluo took the ball, he faced Tanat with confidence, he did not choose to go down, but wanted to pass the opponent directly, so he crossed the ball with his left and right feet in front of Tanat, and made a feint to deceive the opponent to the bottom line, but in fact, he wanted to break through from Tanat's side to the middle.

Tanat is experienced, how can he be deceived by him so easily, he took advantage of the situation and stuck to Xiao Xiaoluo, directly knocking the Portuguese to the ground, but the ball fell to the feet of the German, clean and easy.

Yang Cheng, who was on the sidelines, saw this scene and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, this guy is really ......

"You can't boast," Yang Cheng shook his head and sighed.

If you break through to the bottom line just now, you can directly form a cross, but this guy just wants to stop the ball and play with people, isn't this taking the initiative to give the ball to Manchester City?

Benitez and Paul? Baier shook his head, Xiao Xiaoluo uses this guy well, he is a magic weapon, if he doesn't use it well, he will make you so distressed that you can't take your whole head off your neck.

"How much time?" Yang Cheng asked.

"Counting stoppage time, I guess there are 10 minutes left" Paul? Bayer said.

Yang Cheng thought for a while, "Let Barosh go to warm up"

Paul? Bayer nodded and went.

…………

…………

After the equalizer, the Reds overwhelmed Manchester City in momentum, especially in the attack, the team was holding their breath to win Manchester City away, otherwise, it would be a big gap between Manchester United and Arsenal.

After Xiao Xiaoluo fought against Tanat several times, he was hung up by the other party and began to consciously avoid the German.

There is no way, Tanat has completely exploded Xiao Xiao Luo in terms of experience, and the Portuguese have not been able to take advantage of him in the confrontation with him, except for one previous win, otherwise they have not been able to take advantage of it, and every time Tanat does not give Xiao Xiao Luo an advantage in speed, crushing him to death.

Seeing this, Yang Cheng asked the Czechs to take over the right side more after Barosh came on the field, and Xiao Xiaoluo retreated a little, hoping to give full play to his advantage of holding the ball.

As time ticked by, City seemed to be complacent with the status quo.

Just when Manchester City was attacking and counterattacking, Anelka's dribbling was broken. Diarra's feet.

Ronaldo retreated to the center circle to get the ball, and Reina behind him was clinging to him.

The ball came to the feet of the Portuguese and it was seen that he had his back to Reina.

Ronaldo's body is no longer as thin as it was when he first came to the Premier League. Schmidt's scientific recuperation, coupled with physical training, has made him have a good improvement, although he can't be strong, but at least he has a foundation for foothold in the Premier League.

Reyna squeezed Xiao Xiaoluo hard behind him, and the Portuguese was very smart this time, first following Reina's momentum, taking a step forward, dissolving some of the pressure, and suddenly slamming back with all his might.

The American midfielder, who joined Manchester City from Sunderland this season, has a really good fit and would have been knocked down if it were someone else, but he only stumbled a little.

But it was this time that Xiao Xiao Luo pulled the ball to the right.

As soon as Reina reacted, he immediately pounced, but Xiao Xiaoluo suddenly stopped suddenly, kicked the ball back, and turned to the left.

Bossvelt pounced on him, but Xiao Xiaoluo chose to turn around, carried him with his back, and dribbled the ball towards the middle at 45 degrees, and his speed was also pushed out in an instant. …,

Wearing a red jersey, Ronaldo was like a Ferrari with a full throttle on the gas, and his speed soared, even if it was Reina, who was retreating, he wanted to trip him with his feet, but the Portuguese took the American past with an easy smash.

Xiao Xiaoluo's speed is getting faster and faster, from the middle circle arc to the front of the penalty area, Manchester City's back line is in a rapid retreat, seeing that there is nowhere to retreat, Distin gritted his teeth and rushed out of the penalty area.

Distin's speed is not slow, as soon as he rushed out, he quickly pasted Xiao Xiao Luo, but he still had not retracted the momentum, Xiao Xiao Luo made a sharp stop, pulled the ball to the left side, and wiped it from Distin's left side, almost without the slightest drag.

The whole process was as if the Portuguese were practicing the 16-second dribble around obstacles that Yang Cheng had taught him before, and this group of Manchester City players seemed to him to be obstacles one by one.

At that moment, he felt an unprecedented shock, as if in his eyes, Manchester City's players had become so clumsy, he easily passed the opposing three players, and almost all of them in one go.

Not only Xiao Xiaoluo, but even all the fans at Maine Road Stadium were amazed by the performance of the Portuguese, and they all thought that this Portuguese seemed to be crazy, otherwise how could he have performed so well?

Past Distin, Ronaldo dribbled to the top of the penalty area in the middle, Barosch attracted Tanat on the right side, and there were only two players in front of him, one was Drogba of his own team, and the other was Liverpool's central defender Sommeil.

Unable to avoid it, Sommeil opted for a tackle, but the Portuguese decisively played the ball into the box.

He had a very clear judgment in this process, so he chose the safest way.

Drogba had followed Sommeil back to avoid offside, but after Ronaldo's pass, he rushed forward.

The Ivorian was no slouch for his explosiveness, rushing to get the ball ahead of him, smashing past him, and then sending the ball into the empty net.

“GOALLLLLLLLLLL”

'Liverpool scored'

"From Didier? Drogba's goal came from Portugal star Cristiano? Ronaldo's assist"

'The Portuguese's performance was amazing, starting from midfield and setting up Didier Drogba to score after getting rid of three of City's players in a row, which was a brilliant combination.

At the moment when Ronaldo assisted Drogba to score, the entire Liverpool dugout was boiling.

Members of the coaching staff and players on the bench rushed out of their seats to celebrate Liverpool's comeback in the action area, especially Ronaldo, who had a beautiful assist.

Paul? Bayer jumped up with excitement, "This kid is amazing"

Benitez nodded as well.

As a footballer, who doesn't aspire to see this kind of artist-filled moment?

Yang Cheng was also laughing, "This is what I've ever seen, Cristiano's most perfect combination of personal skills and the situation on the court is an attack" This should be the biggest compliment Yang Cheng can give.

How to find a reasonable balance between effectiveness and gorgeousness is the pursuit of countless players with gorgeous skills, but there are not many players who can reach this level, Denilson, Ronaldo, Zidane and others have reached it.

Yang Cheng hopes that Xiao Xiaoluo will be next

…………

…………

Liverpool's 2:1 reversal of Manchester City, as far as the result of the game itself is concerned, the outside world did not give too much hype, after all, Manchester City is too weak this season, and Liverpool itself should feel embarrassed.

Therefore, in the eyes of the British media, this is not a game worth showing off at all, but it is the outstanding performance of Xiao Xiaoluo in the game that has attracted the attention of countless people, and they all feel that the Portuguese has shown a good change in the game, that is, in his gorgeous skills, adding more effectiveness, thinking that in time, he can become a significant player in the Liverpool team. …,

Yang Cheng also named and affirmed Xiao Xiaoluo's outstanding performance and his contribution and performance to the team in the dressing room after the game, but also pointed out his problems, such as his disadvantage in several confrontations with Tanat in the game.

Radish and stick, this is a beating strategy formulated by Yang Cheng, a pseudo-authority in psychology.

For Xiao Xiaoluo, a player who is very confident on the surface, but has low self-esteem in his bones, too much praise or too much blow will make him go to the extreme, so whether Yang Cheng wants to praise him or scold him, he is always cautious, and he must slowly build up his self-confidence.

This will undoubtedly be a long-term project, but if you can use this time to cultivate a Xiao Xiaoluo who is better than her previous life, then Yang Cheng thinks that it is cost-effective

However, Yang Cheng said as early as in the conversation at Christmas that Xiao Xiao Luo will not be in charge of the team in a short time, but he will give Xiao Xiao Luo enough time in every game.

On December 28, after playing a League One game, Carrick officially moved to Liverpool.

With the decision to be on the bench for the weekend against League League side Swansea, Liverpool's training has been more about building up and integrating Carrick into the squad.

Long before Carrick arrived, Moniz, Mulensteen and Benitez had already finalized a training plan to help Carrick integrate into the team as soon as possible.

Therefore, after Carrick came to the team, the player Yang Cheng shouted the most was Carrick.

For the division of labor among the three players in the midfield, Yang Cheng is very clearly positioned, Davies is responsible for the midfield sweep, Gerrard is inserted in the back row, and Carrick organizes and dispatches a wide range.

"Didier Drogba and Arjen Robben, with Murphy or Kuyt, our front trident has a lot of forward propulsion, whether it's in the middle or on the wing, they can do a very good push and then suppress the opposition defence, so in this case, all you have to do is distribute the ball to the feet of each player"

"Of the three midfielders, you don't need to do anything to attract and interfere with the defenders for the wide players, you don't need to do anything to thin out the pressure, what you do is to be their backing and protection, stand in your own position well, and avoid being led by the nose by the opponent, which is a sobriety that must be possessed in an organisation"

"Always remember that before you get the ball, ask yourself, where am I going to pass?"

In Yang Cheng's tactical construction, Carrick's role is not only to control the tempo, but also to divide the side of the overhead ball and diagonal passes, and the mid-long pass is his forte, and at the same time, he must also connect the team's offensive organization through running.

During the training, Yang Cheng shouted several times to stop the training and let everyone stand in place, and then he reminded Carrick what mistakes he made in the last handling of the ball, and what he would have done at that time, it would be more reasonable, etc., almost teaching him by hand.

Carrick is actually a player with a high ball IQ, a great big-picture view and ability to read the game, and he has a good presence on the pitch, which is enough to make him successful in the playmaking midfield position.

Many players, once on the field, get lost in the field full of people running around, and their minds can't tell where they should be, which is a typical lack of spatial presence, which is the so-called sense of position.

But in this regard, Carrick has done a good job.

After the training, Yang Cheng will ask the technical team to edit out the video of the day's training, and specially produce a few videos, which will be commented on at the pre-match analysis meeting at noon every day, not only for Carrick, but also for every player in the team. …,

All of this will help the players get to know Michael Carrick better.

In the end, it is the passer in the midfield, if everyone is not familiar with his passing characteristics, then how can the game be played?

…………

…………

"Football is very different from before, and in terms of our Liverpool tactics this season, we play more 433, which can actually be seen as 451, with one less striker and one more midfielder."

In Melwood's conference room, Yang Cheng was in front of a tactical board with 433 positions drawn, analyzing his tactical thinking after joining a playmaker in front of all the Liverpool players.

"In the past 442, the general structure of the midfield is a combination of destruction + creation, then the 3 midfielders are different, which will further subdivide the functions of the midfielder, how to change, depending on the player, but the point that remains unchanged is that the reason why the midfielder needs one more person is to control"

"Control the midfield, control the game, control the ball, control the tempo, these are the eternal pursuit of modern football, if the previous football model was more about thinking about sending the ball to the opponent's vital area in the shortest possible time, then now, you have to be patient, because modern football attaches great importance to defense, and will not give you too much attacking space in the front of the penalty area, so you have to be patient to look for opportunities when necessary."

"That's why I have repeatedly emphasized in training, more passes, more crosses, attacking is not a one-shot deal"

"Modern football is faster and more focused on the control of the defensive area, so you can't easily send the ball forward, because once you get to the front court and get into the opponent's dense defensive area, you can't slow down at all, and the opponent will do everything possible to cut the ball off your feet and then play a counterattack."

"Therefore, the pace of the ball in the midfield and backfield should be slow, and once it enters the front, it must be fast, play a lightning attack, and destroy the opponent's defense in the shortest possible time, so the playmaker in the midfield will be so important."

The players below all understood in their hearts when they heard this, and Carrick felt that the so-called playmaker in the midfield is the key person in a team, because he controls the offensive and defensive transitions and tempo speed of a team.

"I have repeatedly stressed that the team has to be consistent in terms of rhythm and passing speed, everyone has to cooperate with each other and echo each other, and I have also stressed many times that the pace is slow, how can it be slow? Passers prioritize crosses, short passes, and return passes, while runners are more likely to run around the ball and run to receive passes and ensure the team's possession. ”

"How fast? When the passer sees a teammate running to the hole in the opponent's defense, he immediately launches a forward pass, a direct pass, a long pass, an overhead pass, and uses all means to pass the ball to the hole, and the moment the pass is made, the rhythm itself has become faster, because on the court, any run cannot compare to the speed of the pass. ”

"As soon as a player receives the ball, he can immediately form a threat, and when there is a threat, the opponent's defense can no longer be kept tight, and the other players are also aiming at the hole, or responding to the running position of the teammate, sharing the defensive pressure for him, and then forming a wave of rapid attack."

Why is the mid-long pass so important in football?

For example, if the ball carrier gets the ball in his own half, the tempo should be slow, and the direction of attack should be adjusted, and the teammates around him will have to run around him to ensure that he has enough receiving points to get the ball, which is what the team must do in order to ensure that he has the ball, otherwise, if there is no receiving point, the ball carrier will immediately fall into the encirclement, and the ball will change hands immediately.

But in this case, the attacking players in front generally don't need to do this, all they have to do is to take advantage of the opponent's tight ball carrier and run to dig into the gaps in the opponent's defense.

If an attacking player finds a gap, how do you ensure that the ball is delivered to him in the first place? ..., it must be a medium and long distance pass, if you are slow and logical with the short pass, the opponent will react early and fill the hole.

The team that can do it like Barcelona around 2010 in the previous life, with non-stop passing and propulsion, and even pass the ball into the opponent's goal, is the only one in the history of Barcelona, and others can't learn.

Therefore, with the development of modern football, the medium and long pass has become an indispensable way for a team to pass the ball, and any strong team must be equipped with a medium and long passer.

In the past, Liverpool lacked long ballers, which led to the lack of suddenness of the team's offensive means, easy to be frozen, coupled with the loss of control of the rhythm, which led to a lot of poor offensive situations, especially against teams that took the initiative to defend.

Now that Carrick is available, what Yang Cheng has to do is to better play Carrick's advantages in controlling the rhythm and mid-length passing through the midfield configuration, and then fill this defect of Liverpool.

Then, Yang Cheng divided the position of the midfielder.

If there are no surprises, Liverpool's next three midfielders will be Davies, Steven Gerrard and Michael Carrick.

Regarding the characteristics of the three players, Yang Cheng used an analogy.

If the front trident is a punch, then Gerrard is the bone behind the fist, supporting the fist, Carrick is the tendon, controlling the stretch, soft and strong, Davis is the meat, wrapping the entire hand, acting as a protective wall.

Today's Liverpool should be initially perfected, and it depends on how much strength they can play in the game.

Yang Cheng has also set a preliminary goal, he hopes to be able to take Claudio Ranieri Chelsea at Stamford Bridge to pay tribute to the flag

But his most pressing concern is to find a goalkeeper he can trust.
