Chapter 356: Open door black

Every coach will have his own favorite players, and will arrange players that suit his tactical positioning.
For Rogers, after coming to Liverpool, he immediately went to work, adjusted the lineup for the new season, and prepared tactics.
Once an emperor and a courtier, although Dalglish took the initiative to "abdicate", as Rogers strongly introduced several players to join the team, many of Liverpool's positions now have to compete more cruelly.
In the new season's warm-up match in the United States, Rogers's pass-and-control style of play clearly shows that Liverpool's players are somewhat unaccustomed.
A 1-1 tie with Toronto FC, a 1-2 loss to Serie A team Roma, and then another 0-0 draw against the Premier League team Tottenham.
In 3 warm-up matches, one was not won. Liverpool's players obviously couldn't adapt to Rogers' passing style in a short time. They couldn't find the state on the offensive end and also affected the defense.
Compared with the last season when the team opened and closed the game, Liverpool, which is now taking the pass control route, although relying on the increase in possession rate, gives opponents fewer offensive opportunities.
But now as long as the opponent is given a chance, it is that kind of absolute good opportunity. Even if Yang Feng and his back teammates try to defend again, facing the opponent's quick counterattack that suddenly intercepts the ball in their own half, there are not many ways.
Of course, the warm-up game does not explain all the problems. After all, Liverpool, due to the impact of the European Cup, it is also a fact that many players are out of form.
After returning from the warm-up game in the United States, in the Liverpool training base, Rogers can only practice more frequently, hoping that the team can be familiar with their own style of play and can integrate into their own style of play.
However, Yang Feng, who is on the back line, has seen the team's midfielder during this month's training. Because he is unfamiliar with running positions, he made himself a pass error.
Although it is known that this is an inevitable painful period brought about by the team's transformation, it is also a fact that Liverpool's defense at the beginning of the season will be more tested. Yang Feng is well prepared for the dilemma at the beginning of the season.
Time came to August, the 13/14 season of the Premier League kicked off.
Before the season, Liverpool, which was judged by the media as a better player, will also set sail in the new season.
In the first round, Liverpool's opponent was West Bromwich Albion.
This West Bromwich Albion has no players familiar with Yang Feng's impression after frequent sales and exchanges.
However, as a mid-range Premier League team, although there are no stars, but through the old-school British style of play, if not surprising, West Brom can still be relegated this season without any worries.
The first game of the new season, for Liverpool, although it is on the road, but Rogers still wants to win and get a good start for the new season.
Before the game, everyone was paying attention to Rogers' adjustments to this Liverpool team, and whether the tactical changes it brought could help Liverpool hit the league championship.
However, at the end of the 90-minute game, Liverpool’s away challenge to West Bromwich was surprising.
The score was 3 to 0, and the home team scored first.
Liverpool fans are looking forward to hitting the Premier League champion’s league hegemony this year, as if it proved impossible after the first round.
Complete defeat!
Although West Bromwich is at home, although West Bromwich is a mid-range team that is not bad.
But Liverpool was uncompetitive in this game.
In terms of offensive data.
The shot is more than 18 to 16!
Shot is 6 to 2!
The corner kick is 7 to 3!
West Bromwich Albion played at home.
For the visiting team Liverpool, the number of passes of 537 to 313 and the possession rate of 6 to 4, although they have an advantage in data, most of them are useless and cannot be converted into a real offensive threat.
The Liverpool fans who watched the live broadcast commented on this relaunched Liverpool.
"Unorganized"!
In this game, Rogers lined up 442, the defense line, due to Jose Enrique's injury, Rogers sent Martin Kelly to the left back, the remaining three are the main players last season.
Yang Feng is certainly the core of Liverpool's well-deserved defense.
But in the midfield, Rogers has carried out drastic reforms.
Joe Allen, who he brought from Swansea, was naturally the starter.
As the core player of Swansea's midfield offense last season, Rogers hopefully bought him from Swansea, just to continue to play Joe Allen's offensive organization ability in the midfield.
Downing on the left and Gerrard on the right are the absolute main players last season. Counting Joe Allen, Rogers hopes that the three can play a tacit understanding in the midfield offense.
In the selection of the midfielder, Rogers did not entrust Henderson with a heavy responsibility, but chose to believe that Lucas Reva was reimbursed early because of the torn cruciate ligament last season.
All four midfielders have a certain level of technical ability and play level, which is also the basis of the team's passing tactics that Rogers hopes to carry out.
In the use of double forwards, although Carroll stays on the team, Rogers is still willing to use the Borini he bought to partner with Suarez.
Rogers believes that Borini has much more flexibility than Carroll, as well as technical skills at his feet, to better adapt to the current team's game style.
Although Liverpool only took the initiative to adjust the three starting lineups, but because Rogers emphasized the principle of his own football tactics, this Liverpool's play style is very different from last season.
Unsuitability is for everyone. Suarez is used to having a high point in front that can attract firepower. He only needs to focus on grabbing two points.
Gerrard is accustomed to dominating the offense by himself. It is up to him whether to pass or shoot. Now he is giving the ball to Joe Allen.
Tangning is accustomed to using his personal abilities on the sidelines and creating chances for passing, instead of having to complete the absolute superiority in the current tactics, and intersperse in the penalty area...
Not adapting is the deepest feeling of many Liverpool players who played the main players last season.
And want to force customer service this kind of fluency and play the pass and control football that the head coach wants. Even though many of Liverpool's players are very professional, it is natural that they cannot be perfect in a short time.
Throughout the game, Liverpool showed a slightly complicated offense and did not cause too much defensive interference for the home team West Brom, but Suarez, who was accustomed to going straight, was stunned.
Especially Suarez and Borini are almost in front ~EbookFREE.me~ There is no tacit understanding of any partners, and even occasionally run heavy positions. Both are players who pursue space and position, but 1 plus 1 There is no effect equal to 2 or even greater than 2, but instead makes the opponent's defense more defensive.
West Brom has a completely defensive counterattack attitude, which can cause 18 shots. You can imagine how many mistakes Liverpool made in the first game.
Since Yang Feng played on behalf of Liverpool, he has always been known as the nemesis of the non-rich team, but this time, facing the pot thrown by the midfielder.
Yang Feng could make up one and make up the second one, but he was destined to not be able to make up all the "pots" with his own power.
Of the 18 shots, most of them were threatening enough and only scored 3 goals. It was still Yang Feng and his back teammates who had enough defensive interference and Renner's performance was still outstanding.
The away game started black. Liverpool's new season journey is much more difficult than expected. New players, new coaches, and new tactics. Although the team retains the overall framework, it still has a long way to go to build combat effectiveness.
