The entire Leicester team will actively defend in the game and build a bronze wall. Not to mention, on the counterattack end, you can also rely on the counterattack combination of Mahrez and Vardy that has shocked the Premier League. In the game, Constantly impacting the opponent's defense line, creating a good opportunity for goals.

   Excellent defensive level, extremely high counterattack efficiency, and a back line that can always break out when the team is deadlocked, so that Leicester City can always seem to win the final victory of the game.

   The only weakness in Leicester City's defense is not a stable center line, but it can always prove itself on the offensive end to make up for mistakes in the defense line.

In the positioning kick tactics of Leicester City, relying on the excellent performance of the two central defenders of Hut and Morgan, they can always rewrite the score by the central defender with a key header when the game is behind or deadlocked. Although there are not many big victories in the city, but relying on a small victory, it has already won 11 games in the league and now ranks first in the league.

   Klopp still attaches great importance to this game and regards this game as the best proof of Liverpool's current strength.

   At home at Anfield, Klopp wants to use his tactical philosophy to defeat the current top team to further reduce the difference between the two teams and lay a solid foundation for the counterattack in the second half of the game.

  Due to the opponent's strong interception ability in the midfield and the injury of Liverpool's own players.

   In this game, Liverpool made appropriate changes and adjustments.

   After lacking Jordan Ibby’s breakthrough ability, Klopp made a direct change. According to the official announcement, the seemingly 451 formation was actually a variant of 442.

   Sturridge partnered with Firmino as the two forwards, but Firmino's position may be slightly behind and close to the midfielder. Firmino prefers to regard this as a shadow forward position.

   Coutinho on the left continued to be in his suitable position, while Lallana, who was slightly on the right, deviated from his familiar position, not too much.

   The defensive end of the mid lane is the combination of Henderson and Milner that Klopp believes.

   There is no difference in the back line of defense, the same as the previous five-man team.

It’s just that Lallana’s right-side position is actually a guise, and more of it will move in the middle area. This also requires Liverpool’s right-back Klein to be able to give the team on the right in this game. Provide better offensive breakthrough support.

   The tactical intent of the formations of the two sides has actually been on paper, and there is no hidden backhand. It is more about the strength of the players on the court.

   In the analysis of the two teams by many media before the game, the tactical styles of the two teams are different and similar.

   The main difference is that the tactical footholds of the two teams are different.

   Liverpool’s tactical style is, of course, proactive attack. He requires the initiative to master the attacking rhythm in the game.

   Use pass control to strengthen the side attack or penetration in the middle, and even use the pass within a small area of ​​the player to try to find opportunities to hit the goal.

   Leicester City is the opposite.

   Ranieri's tactical system, the priority is actually the team's defense.

Although it is not a traditional Italian chain defense, the core is still to defend your backcourt area and block the opponent’s offense. In addition to defending well, you can use counterattacks or simple wing passes to attack. The opponent's line of defense.

   There is a big difference in the fundamental tactics of the two teams.

   But there are also big similarities.

  Liverpool's high position in the frontcourt presses and defends, and Leicester City's pressing tactics in the frontcourt have the same effect.

   It's just that Liverpool rely on the cooperation of all members to form a gradual press.

   As for Leicester City, it depends more on the defensive enthusiasm of the players.

   Okazaki Shinji, Vardy, Mahrez, and Kanter who can't die.

   These people's strong defensive interception ability, running ability, and defensive enthusiasm constitute the main defensive force of Fox City.

   also made the counterattack after the interception in the front field was completed, and became an effective weapon to compensate for the fox city's offense.

  The tactical style dictates, and Liverpool still sits at Anfield. Therefore, it is normal for Liverpool to gain the advantage of possession.

  Whether Liverpool can use possession of the ball to break the deadlock and take the lead before Leicester City form enough counterattack threats is also the key to whether Liverpool can win at this home court.

   At least from the beginning of the game, Liverpool still has a very good attacking opportunity.

   Only 2 minutes into the game, Liverpool posed a huge threat in the frontcourt.

   Under Liverpool’s offensive interspersed, in order to defend the core area, the visiting team assembled heavy troops in the penalty area. For the perimeter defense of the wing, just leave the man-marked players.

   Coutinho was able to single out his defender Albrighton on the wing.

   With enough space and no help to defend against threats, Coutinho is on the court and has a lot of room to play.

   controlled the ball under his feet and continuously made cycling movements. After trying to deceive Albrighton's center of gravity completely, Coutinho smashed the ball and moved the ball laterally to the middle.

   Before Kanter's defense was in place, Coutinho hit the goal with a kick while walking directly~www.readwn.com~ and went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.

   Coutinho controlled the kick extremely accurately and shot a wonderful shot.

   This shot, the ball speed is not slow, the angle is perfect, and because it is a falling half-high ball, it will land first and then rebound when flying to the goal.

   is definitely an excellent control of a kick, and then when it is close to the right post of the goal and flying into the goal, it is still blocked by Schmeichel with a very critical save.

Even though the ball bounced back to a height of nearly 20 cm after bouncing on the ground, Schmeichel still raised his arm appropriately, barely touched the football with the front of his palm, and blocked the ball directly out of the baseline, destroying Coutinho had a chance to score.

   On the first offense in the opening game, Coutinho threatened his opponent with a long shot, which was also considered to give the Leicester City players a blow.

   And Liverpool’s opening three is far from over.

  Since Leicester City’s defense has very weak restrictions on Liverpool’s wing attack, I will take whatever the opponent puts. Liverpool’s offensive launch immediately shifted to the wing.

However, in the final pass handling, Liverpool did not pass the ball, but in the game, in the pass handling, more choice to go to the ground cross pass, or to make the players bolder from the side Breakthrough in the expansion, creating greater chaos in the penalty area.

   In the 8th minute of the game, Coutinho made a quick inverted triangle pass after the bottom breakthrough. Henderson almost had an assist to complete the goal. Liverpool's repressive opening in the game was very easy to play.
