On June 17, the fourth match day, the first match was the match between Peru and Denmark in Group C.
After watching this matchup between the same groups in the hotel, the Chinese team collectively felt Alexander.
It was completely unexpected that Denmark, which was stronger than Peru on paper, would be at a disadvantage in the game as a whole. Whether it was ball possession rate, number of shots, or number of shots on target, they were all lower than Peru. They were suppressed by Peru's powerful offensive.
If Peru hadn't missed a penalty kick in the first half, they might not have stolen a ball from Denmark due to their crazy attack in the second half, resulting in a 1-0 loss.
But this game also exposed the tactical characteristics of the Danish and Peruvian teams.
That is, Peru, with its mediocre stars, has strong offensive strength, while Denmark showed their balanced strength in both offense and defense, especially through the powerful counterattack ability orchestrated by Eriksen.
In addition, Danish players can also have a great advantage over the Chinese team in terms of height and strong physical fitness.
After the game was over, everyone went back to their rooms.
Before Mo Yang left, he was stopped by Lippi.
"Yang! How do you think we should play the game against Denmark?" Lippi asked Mo Yang with an extremely serious expression.
"Sir, did I hear you right?" Mo Yang stared at him, dumbfounded.
You, a head coach, ask me about a player, are you kidding me?
"Haha, kid, you heard me right, I am indeed asking for your opinion!" Lippi sat on the sofa, smiling kindly and waving to Moyang.
After Mo Yang sat down opposite, Lippi was the first to speak: "Yang, Denmark is neither strong nor weak in Europe. Their characteristic is a balanced offense and defense, but it is precisely this kind of team that is the most difficult to beat."
"Eriksson in their team is a Danish superstar, a world-class midfielder. He has many excellent assistants around him, including goalkeeper Schmeichel, defender Kjaer, center Bendtner, and himself.
The central axis can already be said to be the configuration of a first-class European team."
"But there is a prerequisite!" After Lipi finished speaking, Mo Yang added with a smile.
Lippi said nothing, looked at Mo Yang with interest, and motioned for Mo Yang to continue.
"The premise is that Eriksson, who is the core of the front-to-back series, can perform well, otherwise their powerful central axis will be directly invalidated, which in turn will kill them!" Mo Yang expressed his opinion, but his tone was
It was a bit imaginary, he didn't know if his analysis was correct or not.
"Ha ha……"
"Yang! You really surprised me. I think you may be able to engage in coaching after retirement! I believe you will also be an excellent head coach!" Lippi pointed at Mo Yang and smiled heartily.
Because this is what he wanted to tell Mo Yang.
Denmark's strength lies in Eriksson. This is not only Denmark's strongest point, but also its most fatal weakness.
"So Eriksen will be a problem for us in the game against Denmark. Are you confident that you can completely suppress him like you did against Pogba?"
Looking at Lippi's hopeful eyes, Mo Yang was silent for a while, nodded solemnly, smiled, and said: "Sir, if I just suppress Eriksen, I believe I can do it!"
"Very good!" Lippi stood up with a smile, "It seems that our champion midfielder is in great shape, you can go back and rest!"
Lippi left as soon as he finished speaking, and Moyang followed him back to the room.
In fact, the reason why Mo Yang gave an affirmative answer was because he didn't even pay much attention to Eriksen in the Premier League this year.
Every time this guy plays against Tottenham, Mo Yang feels a little transparent. Just as he is being beaten, this guy suddenly disappears and becomes invisible.
In the beginning, Mo Yang regarded this guy as his opponent, but after several encounters, he found that this guy became stronger when he was weak, and became invisible when he was strong, so he didn't take this guy seriously anymore. Of course, he is still a world-class midfielder.
But now Moyang only has Modric, De Bruyne, Kante, Kroos, and Casemiro on his competition list. Eriksen has been eliminated by him. This is not because of arrogance, but because of him.
The confidence that kicks out.
"Buzz buzz..."
As soon as I returned to the hotel, my phone vibrated in my arms.
When he pulled it out, he found that it was Pere. He answered the call and said with a smile: "Pere, have you recovered from your cold?"
"Haha, that's almost it!" Pere's hearty laughter sounded in the receiver, "Yang, there's something I want to tell you!"
"What happened?" Mo Yang frowned.
"Belsa resigned from Leeds United!" Pere's voice became a little deeper.
"Why!!!" Mo Yang shouted in a loud voice, very surprised.
"Haha! Because Le, Maddison, and Maguire all entered the transfer market, Bielsa and Leeds United owner Radrizzani had a direct falling out. Bielsa took a photo of his resignation letter and left!"
"There is another good news!" Seeing Mo Yang's silence, Pere continued to smile.
"What?"
"Manchester City has officially launched the plan to bring in Mahrez, and Pep told me that he has convinced the club to give up Mahrez!"
Hearing the news, Mo Yang felt happy.
Just when Mo Yang was happy that Bai Lele had the opportunity to move to the giant Manchester City, Klopp and Edwards, who were far away in Liverpool, were also laughing.
"Jurgen, you didn't see Layinola's ugly expression after I exposed her on the spot!" Edwards smiled extremely freely.
"Haha..." Klopp was also amused.
The cause of the matter is this. Just yesterday, Edwards suddenly told him that he had received a transfer request from Yin Bu, which shocked Klopp.
After Yin Bu came to Liverpool, he directly relieved Klopp from the problem of the team not having a high forward, and enriched his tactical system. Although he did not start every game this season, he was definitely not a substitute.
And Yin Bu himself never said anything. Instead, he got along very happily with Mo Yang and the others, and he completely integrated into the team.
So why is there a sudden transfer?
Feeling suspicious, he asked Edwards to contact Yin Bu directly.
Good guy!
Only then did it become clear that it was Yin Bu’s manager, La Yin Aola, who was responsible for the trick, and he was almost fooled!
Agents try to sow discord between players and clubs. This is a very common tactic in football, and you can be fooled if you are not careful!
"Mike, are there any progress in the negotiations with Arsenal now?" Soon, Klopp and Edwards got into working mode and talked about the team's signing plan for this summer transfer window.
"Everything is going on very smoothly. Chamberlain also expressed to Arsenal his willingness to join Liverpool, and Arsenal is also willing to let him go. However, Arsenal wants to wait for the specific transfer matters to be discussed after the World Cup!"
"Okay! What about Ajax?"
"I'm sorry, Jurgen. During our contact with Ajax, De Jong directly expressed to the Ajax club his unwillingness to join Liverpool. He personally prefers Barcelona!"
When it comes to the signing that he and Klopp finalized together, Edwards feels a little helpless.
But at the same time, he is also curious. The introduction of Chamberlain can be said to make up for the thickness of Emre Can's bench after his free transfer to Juventus.
But De Jong is different. He is a rising star in the Eredivisie. He has very similar characteristics to Mo Yang. He is also good at attacking and defending.
Edwards asked Klopp if the purchase of De Jong was in preparation for Moyang's departure, but unfortunately Klopp denied it, leaving him confused about the truth.
As for Mo Yang, the club's senior management has collectively chosen to forget those previous outrageous actions and treat everything as if it never happened.
"Then give up!" Klopp smiled. Although he valued De Jong, he was not willing to stick to someone else's cold butt.
He wanted to bring in De Jong, just as Edwards guessed, he was preparing for Mo Yang to leave, but he was just taking precautions in the bud.
And De Jong is a very suitable candidate, who is also good at attacking and defending.
