On the field, after Son Xingmin scored a goal, he turned around and looked back and found that no teammate had followed him to the frontcourt, so he turned around and ran towards the backcourt with open arms.
Not long after, Tottenham players gathered in the center circle and celebrated wildly.
At this moment, all the Tottenham players were excited by Son Heung-min's one-stop pass and goal, and they seemed to have endless energy in their bodies.
In football matches, what kind of goals can best boost the morale of teammates? Goals like Son Heung-min's are extremely visual impact.
"This is Pochettino's unique tactics and tricks to win by surprise!
"
"Pochettino knows very well that after his 5+3 defense is in place, the lateral width of the midfield will be insufficient. After the defenders steal or clear the ball, Tottenham will not have enough personnel in the midfield to respond."
"Even if he can pass the ball to the midfielder who comes to respond, his ability to control the ball is not very strong. He will definitely be counterattacked by Liverpool's frontcourt high position, so he luckily took advantage of it!"
"Now, he succeeded. He took advantage of Liverpool's high position to counterattack, and through Son Xingmin, a surprise player, the defense intercepted the ball and directly skipped the midfield to find the forward who was wide. It was very simple, but it had an effect!"
In the pp sports live broadcast room, through the slow motion replay of Tottenham's penalty area, Zhang Lu analyzed the complete idea of Tottenham's attack.
The confrontation between the players on the field is indeed exciting, but the confrontation between the head coach and the tactical level is also thrilling for an old-fashioned fan like him.
"But the problem is that this trick can only be used once. Liverpool, who may have taken precautions the second time, will not be so careless again!" Zhan Jun interjected.
Zhang Lu shook his head and smiled, and said: "This is exactly Pochettino's choice! In the Premier League, if you want to compete with Liverpool in the midfield, except for Manchester City, which can be evenly matched with Liverpool, no team currently has this strength."
"And the same tricks can actually have different variations!"
These words made Zhan Jun stunned. Although he was a football commentator, at the tactical level, he was really not as sensitive as Zhang Lu, who was a player.
On the court, Mo Yang had no expression on his face.
He was reflecting on the fact that Tottenham's attack taught Mo Yang a lesson.
That is, we must consider the problem comprehensively and not be confused by temporary victory.
Mo Yang really didn't expect that Tottenham would use the weakness of the formation as bait to attack them from behind, and they succeeded.
Sun Xingmin's long-distance run once again allowed Mo Yang to see the Korean football king's unparalleled speed and shooting skills, as well as his balanced feet.
Dodging Gomez's ball while running at high speed is a great test of the player's balance, balance on both feet, and the combination of man and ball.
Taking advantage of this goal, Pochettino directly replaced Winks with Alli.
The intention of replacing Ali, who is more comprehensive in offense and defense, is very obvious. While solidifying the defense, he will continue to strengthen the offense.
After the restart, the morale of Tottenham players increased significantly.
During the offensive phase with the ball, Eric Dier will not press forward like he did in the first half. Instead, he will retreat deeply and position himself in front of the defense, allowing Vertonghen and Alderweireld to spread to both sides. , thereby freeing up Danny Rose and Trippier, allowing them to move forward and participate in the attack with confidence.
And Ali on the left will insert himself into the front line from time to time, changing Tottenham's offensive formation from 352 to 343, which is very flexible.
Tottenham have also made obvious changes in their tactical strategies. For example, they adopted a more resolute and active high-position defense in Liverpool's backcourt and pressed forward across the board.
The defense line presses towards the center circle, shortening the distance between the three lines and constantly compressing Liverpool's formation vertically. This tactical strategy is used to minimize the sharpness of Liverpool's counterattack.
In the midfield, although the diamond midfielder lacks the powerful ability to win possession of the ball, Tottenham still occupies a certain proportion in the battle for the ball with Liverpool due to the numerical advantage of the five midfielders.
For a moment, the situation on the field looked like Liverpool was at a disadvantage. This change surprised many fans.
In the 65th minute of the game, Liverpool got a free kick near the center circle in the backcourt.
Gomez pushed the ball to Matip in the left half.
Matip took the ball and saw that the Tottenham players were already in position, so he knocked it back to Gomez, who had already distanced himself from him.
After taking the ball, Gomez looked forward and hesitated on the spot.
Kane, who was swimming nearby, saw Gomez's hesitation and suddenly started to rush forward.
Gomez was startled, turned the ball to the left, and wanted to give it to Matip.
But before he could take off, Kane bumped into him from behind on the right side, forced Gomez away, took the ball and headed towards the Liverpool goal.
Fortunately, Matip reacted quickly and immediately leaned towards Gomez. The two closed the door in time before the top of the arc and kicked the ball back to Alisson.
"Ouch!"
"What a risk! Fortunately, this is Kane. If it were Son Xingmin, it's hard to say whether Matip and Gomez would have had time to close the door!"
After Mo Yang chased him back, he stared at Gomez with an unkind expression, which made Gomez follow Alisson's example and turn his back and shrink his neck to hide.
Klopp was also frightened on the sidelines and suddenly missed Van Dijk.
If Van Dijk is on the court, such low-level mistakes generally will not occur.
Gomez's hesitation just now was caused by his lack of vision when shooting the ball forward.
But this was not the only time Liverpool was frightened.
In the 68th minute of the game, Eriksen retreated to the backcourt to get the ball in front of Dell. After turning around, he immediately made a long pass to the receiving point that he had observed in advance.
Tottenham is on the left side of the frontcourt, with Son Heung-min in position.
Gomez also pulled over from the center in time, and Arnold moved in the rib area to fill Gomez's position.
The ball hit the ground and bounced in front of Son Heung-min.
At this moment, before the ball touched the ground for the second time, Sun Xingmin suddenly rubbed the outside instep of his right foot forward to the right, and the ball rolled behind Gomez who was attacking.
He pushed away Gomez's hand blocking his abdomen, quickly followed up, broke through Gomez again, and took the ball directly to the rib area.
Arnold reacted quickly and blocked Sun Xingmin in the upper corner of the left penalty area in time, trying to force Sun Xingmin to the wing.
But Sun Xingmin did not give in. After the two approached each other face to face, he once again used his right foot to move the ball forward suddenly and changed direction to the right, getting past Arnold before he could turn around.
On the sidelines, when he saw Son Xingmin making another consecutive breakthrough and facing Alisson, Klopp directly covered his face.
The next second, when he heard the rumbling exclamations from the fans instead of cheers, he immediately let go and looked on the field, and found that the ball had not been scored. He was relieved and smiled as if he had survived the disaster.
"Gomez, Gomez, I can't help but praise! "The angle of Sun Xingmin's ball was too tricky, and it hit the outside of the post, allowing Liverpool to escape!" Zhan Jun said speechlessly, "Arnold also made a mistake!"
"Haha! Is it because Klopp asked him to play the right center back in the second half? Or is it because he has confidence in Van Dijk's left center back position?" Zhang Lu, who was laughing, also followed suit.
Taking advantage of this dead ball opportunity, Klopp directly began to make substitutions and adjustments.
He replaced Chamberlain with Fabinho. Klopp did not touch the others for the time being, but added a midfielder in the midfield. The intention is self-evident.
After seeing Klopp's substitutions on the field, Mo Yang knew that Klopp's support had arrived.
So he immediately found Arnold and Robertson.
After a conversation, Arnold, who originally thought he would be scolded, looked resentful. He thought Mo Yang would scold him, but it didn't happen. Instead, he asked Duo to advance forward and participate in the attack. Robertson was eager to try after hearing Mo Yang's explanation.
Soon, the game started again.
The changes in Liverpool's tactical adjustments took effect immediately under Mo Yang's control.
