"Next is Liverpool's defense. Among these four main players, the one I want to highlight most is Arnold." Ten Hag walked to the projection screen and patted Arnold's face on the screen with his hand.

"Arnold is a player who is 1.8 meters tall and weighs 70kg. He has a very obvious speed advantage on the court and can easily complete various sprints, overtakings and turnarounds. Therefore, Klopp uses him in the direction of attacking the strong and defending the weak.

. He can actually practice defense, but tactically he needs to assist in the offense. This is also a point we can take advantage of!"

"On the offensive end, Arnold's passing is very accurate, and his right foot can provide key assists to his teammates from any position in the frontcourt. In addition, Arnold also has a very good free kick skills, which can help the team in a stalemate.

Open up the situation. However, Arnold is slightly inexperienced on the defensive end and often needs his teammates to fill in for him. He is also a typical defender who is strong in offense and weak in defense. Matip, for example, often has to help Arnold fill in the gaps.

butt."

"The biggest feature of Liverpool's two full-backs is their speed. The left-back Robertson is very fast, and the right-back Alexander-Arnold is even faster. This has also been confirmed by Robertson himself. Arnold's sprint speed is even faster than Salah and Mane. And.

While taking into account the speed advantage,

Arnold's skills with his feet are not inferior. He can complete breakthrough crosses in various ways on the right wing, and can also cooperate perfectly with Salah. Therefore, Liverpool's right wing attack is very strong. When the time comes, our

We must pay more attention to defense on the left and then pay more attention to it!”

"This season, Arnold broke the Premier League assist record for defenders with 12 assists. It can be said that Arnold's key passes have become a regular weapon in Liverpool's offense. So when defending him, you must not only pay attention to his speed, but also his crosses.

Pay attention too."

"After Gerrard retired, Liverpool's free kicks lost a great threat. In the current Liverpool lineup, none of the front three are good at free kicks, and most of the midfielders are engineer-type midfielders.

With the rise of Arnold, he often takes free kicks and corner kicks in the frontcourt, and he can indeed score free kicks."

"After talking about so many advantages, his shortcomings are also obvious. It is still a problem of poor defense. And not only is it poor, he needs others to help defend him! Arnold's strong offense and weak defense are just the overall offense of Liverpool's lineup.

His ability is very strong, so Henderson was sacrificed to make up for Arnold's defensive shortcomings, that is, attacking instead of defending. Arnold's defensive ability is not strong to begin with. He is a midfielder and has a very eye-catching long pass ability, 45 degrees

Obliquely passed from

It's not bad, but it's just that when defending 1 on 1, it's difficult for Arnold to keep up with the opponent's rhythm like a regular full-back, because in the reserve team, his task was mostly to help defend. Even if he turned around very quickly, he still couldn't react.

came, which caused him to be easily passed by the opponent's players in the game. When Mourinho was coaching Manchester United, Arnold was successfully passed by Rashford twice in one game and lost the ball. This is the reason why Arnold's defensive ability is poor.

prove."

"So when the time comes, Lin, you can move more on the left."

Ten Hahe looked at Lin Kedi, who immediately expressed understanding and nodded.

Then Tadic will definitely switch positions with him more.

Lin Kedi also looked at Tadic, and Tadic nodded to Lin Kedi, as if he was giving a secret signal.

Ten Hacher continued.

"The next thing is what our defense needs to listen to! Listen to the key points, and also listen to the midfield and frontcourt."

After Ten Hahe finished speaking at the beginning, he felt something was wrong, and quickly added another sentence.

"Liverpool's starting center is Firmino. He is a very special center. When defending from the front, our central defenders and midfielders must pay attention to some things. Firmino's dribbling ability is indeed good, but

In terms of speed and physical confrontation, Firmino actually does not have the advantage. We can focus on this aspect, focusing on physical strength."

"Firmino is the pioneer of Liverpool's high-pressing tactics. When the opponent's defender holds the ball, he will press him immediately to seize the opponent's mistakes and organize the attack. When Liverpool attacks, Firmino in order to ensure safety

With the ball in hand, he has no choice but to retreat to the center circle. When facing some top defenders, Firmino will even return to the backcourt to receive the ball. This also illustrates Liverpool's lack of fulcrum forwards in the penalty area.

This is also a point we can target. Philmi

He is just an organizer similar to the No. 8 position. His running awareness, speed and ability to grab points are very different from those of Lewandowski, Benzema and Suarez, but he is forced by the Liverpool midfielder.

Due to the lack of creativity, Firmino had to sacrifice himself and use more running to make up for this shortcoming of the team. Therefore, his performance also determines the quality of Liverpool's offense. Once Firmino performs poorly,

Liverpool's attack may not get going."

"I have said so much, not to criticize Firmino, but to find ways for us to deal with him. After I have said so much, it is obvious that when we defend, we must restrict Phil

Mino, due to his positioning problem, our players who are defending him head-on should fall between Van der Beek and the two midfielders."

"The next thing is the most important person in Liverpool, Salah. Salah's statistics last season and this season are very good, but what I want to say here is, don't worry about him. Although he is currently the most important person in Liverpool,

An important player, but we don’t need to worry too much about him. The reason is also very simple——”

When Ten Hahe said this, he walked to the left side of the screen.

"Liverpool's two wingers are both very strong. Mane and Salah are not wingers in a simple sense, but inside forwards with the ability to fight and cut in and shoot. Compared with Mane, who has explosive physical fitness, Salah

He's excellent upper body strength can indeed improve his ability to protect the ball.

, but because he paid too much attention to the exercise of upper body strength and neglected the strength of his lower body, it was difficult for him to shoot accurately in the confrontation. This sentence is not a paradox. Yes, Salah scored a lot of goals, but he

It’s also a fact that you can’t shoot accurately in a confrontation.”

"Salah's shooting problem is not small. What he is best at is to advance with the ball and then complete the shot. The ball passed to him by his teammates must be adjusted by himself in order to exert power. If Salah is allowed to shoot, his shot will be

The accuracy will be very poor. The reason why he can score so many goals in Liverpool is because his movement awareness and explosive power are world-class, or it can be understood that Salah has the body of a winger and the ability of a center, so

He can score so many goals at Liverpool."

"So when we deal with Salah, what we need to do is very simple, just like what we usually do, increase intensity, increase confrontation, and don't let him get the ball comfortably, as long as he doesn't get the ball in the first place.

Shun, then believe me, he can't score this goal!"

"Finally, it's Liverpool's midfield. In fact, there's not much to say about Liverpool's midfield, because their midfielders are not the kind of creative players. Their midfielder is the one who implements Klopp's tactical system most thoroughly.

Position. For example, when talking about Henderson, we will think of his hard work and his mental attributes, but when it comes to his skills, please don’t talk about this. So, I think Liverpool’s midfielder

We don’t need to worry too much. Henderson’s versatility is only because of his good physical fitness and can cover almost half of the court. However, Henderson is much worse in handling some details, such as being surrounded by opponents in the backcourt and unable to leave.

When the ball is played, Henderson's ability to break through with the ball is very poor, and he can only break through a handful of times in a season. So when facing him, we don't need to take special measures!"

"Okay, I've finished talking about the key figures, and I've finished talking about some key points against Liverpool. I don't know what everyone thinks. The more I talk, the more confident I am, and the more I talk, the more I believe we can win. And the fact is, tomorrow's game

On the field, we follow the steps, be ourselves, go out and play, and then the final championship will be ours!"

Ten Hag looked at all the players.

His eyes were firm.

"I believe everyone knows that this may be the last game for us as a group to get together, so don't have any regrets. Let's fight seriously and give our best, and the championship will be ours!"
