Chapter 363: The change of the team

After five rounds of matches, Liverpool scored 3 points with 3 draws and 2 losses, 10 points behind Chelsea at the top of the list. Now Liverpool's ranking has successfully fallen into the relegation zone. This is for Liverpool fans who are hopeful of winning the league this season before the season. They are definitely a huge blow.
　　 But fortunately, the team’s will to play and the fighting spirit shown by the team in the Double Reds are still okay. It also allows everyone to wait patiently for Liverpool’s recovery in the league.
If the result of the Double Reds match ended in Liverpool’s defeat, then I believe that even at Anfield Stadium, many fans will boo dedicating to their home team, and use their own way to express their interest to the host. The dissatisfaction of coach Rogers.
　　 Fortunately, Yang Feng completed the lore, which can be said to reduce a lot of off-field pressure on Rogers.
　　 After a thrilling home draw with Manchester United, Rogers set his next goal in the next round of the league match against Norwich, this game is Rogers must strive for the first Premier League victory.
In the English League Cup match in the middle of the week, Liverpool, which had fully rotated the main players, did not even have a back defense such as Yang Feng, but were also on the away field. Relying on the performance of the substitute players and the youth team, they defeated 2-1. West Bromwich Albion won the first victory of this season in the British domestic competition.
　　 In the sixth round of the league, in the away game against Norwich, Rogers put his latest lineup on the court.
　　 Judging from the official starting list released before the game, the most prominent change is that Rogers sent four strong attacking midfielders.
　　 At first glance at Liverpool’s starter in this game, the first thing everyone noticed must be the changes in Liverpool’s starting staff.
　　 is still reporting the 442 lineup. The double striker Borini, who has not performed well in many consecutive games, was finally replaced in this game. He was replaced by the Spanish striker Suso!
　　 Suso partnered with Suarez, but Rogers still put Carol on the bench, who did not conform to his tactical philosophy.
Afterwards, on the back line, due to Martin Kelly’s recent performance, it was not very good. With Jose Enrique still injured, Rogers boldly used the younger Andre Visdom, now 19 years old. Visdom, who was quickly promoted to the first team by Rogers, became one of Yang Feng's absolutely obedient younger brothers...
　　 In the midfield position, with Gerrard and Joe Allen occupying the starting lineups, the other two appearances in this game were given to Sterling and Shaheen who had just loaned to Liverpool this season.
　　 The offensive ability of the four midfielders is very good at first glance, but who is the midfielder? Responsible for defense, this is the first opinion of many professionals.
The four players are all known for their offensive ability. Sterling must be on the wing, and Joe Allen must be the core of Liverpool’s midfield offensive organization. As for Gerrard and Shaheen, both of them are good at On the offensive end, it is difficult for someone to play the role of a midfielder, right?
　　 Although everyone has some speculations, with the start of the game, Gerrard standing behind the back midfielder still surprised many people.
　　 "Rogers still dare to change things!"
　　 This is what everyone thinks of Rogers.
　　 Everyone was surprised at Rogers' boldness, but there was no surprise for Gerrard as a midfielder.
Because of the four starting players, if anyone has the defensive ability and the physical ability to run back and forth, then it must be Gerrard. Although Gerrard is the oldest of the four midfielders, it is only the player. In terms of characteristics, for this position that is slightly engineered, Gerrard must be the most suitable of the four.
　　 However, let the Liverpool captain, the absolute core player of Liverpool's offensive end, go to the game and do dirty work. It can also be seen that Rogers is determined to implement deep-level reforms in Liverpool.
　　 Breaking first and then standing. Rogers, who has been driven to desperation by a bad record, is now mainly pursuing victory. As for the feeling of players, there is still a problem that Rogers needs to consider now.
　　 Of course, such a choice of players does not mean that Gerrard has really become a Liverpool defensive engineer. In Rogers's expectation, Gerrard's offensive role will not be weakened too much. It's just that Gerrard no longer has as many offensive opportunities as before, and he has to focus more on defense.
　　 Gerrard's pass is applied to the midfielder position and will not cut too much. Instead, he can use his excellent vision and overall situation to use effective long passes in the backcourt to make the first pass threat.
And Gerrard's excellent long-range shooting ability can also be used frequently to insert it back and it will not be wasted, but it weakens the time and frequency of Gerrard's possession of the ball in the center and front, and organizes the task of organizing the last pass. Give it to Shaheen and Joe Allen.
Regarding the change of Gerrard’s position, Rogers also had in-depth communication with Gerrard a few days before the game. Although this change of position has greatly sacrificed Gerrard’s personal data and performance on the court, it was for With the team's victory, Gerrard still agreed to Rogers' tactical arrangements.
　　 For Rogers, the use of this tactic has made the team's offensive system more aggressive than in previous games.
Gerrard is in charge of the long pass in the backcourt, and the passers Shaheen and Joe Allen organize the attack in the frontcourt. Sterling on the left side is fast and Glen Johnson on the right side can be inserted into the attack. Complementing each other, Suso and Suarez on the front line only need to rely on their running ability, run out of opportunities, wait for the pass to hit the goal, or grab a cross from the side.
　　In this set of Rogers’ latest offensive system, the ones who are really responsible for the defense may be Yang Feng, Skrtel, and a teenager who ordered only Yang Feng to follow Visdom.
　　 Same as last season ~EbookFREE.me~ Dalglish relied on Yang Feng's defensive ability to aggressively attack. In the case of desperate need for victory, Liverpool now has the time to recklessly attack.
To talk about the reflection on the previous period of tactics, it may be that Rogers discovered that the team's mistakes in the midfield in the previous game caused too much pressure on the defense line. So now, the team's offensive advancement depends on Gerrard's long pass. In the second half, either the two sides are responsible for advancing, and when the opponent's half is reached, it will be handed over to Joe Allen or Shaheen to organize the offense to reduce the possibility of the opponent's direct counterattack.
　　 And the result of this change is pretty good for Liverpool.
　　Although Gerrard was in the position of the defensive midfielder, in the first game, the defensive end did not do so well, but Liverpool had a greater harvest on the offensive end.
　　 2 to 5 away, Liverpool relied on offense, scored five Norwich goals away, and successfully won the first Premier League victory this season.
　　 Suarez, who was depressed for several games, finally got the opportunity to fully show himself in this game. The first half of the game relied on long shots and grab points in the penalty area to score twice to help the team establish a two-goal lead.
　　 When the home team Norwich counterattacked in the second half, Suarez scored a header and rewritten the score to 3-1. While completing the hat trick, the opponent's counterattack was wiped out.
　　 A hearty victory, a wonderful tactical change, Rogers finally won his first Premier League victory in Liverpool, and Liverpool, from now on, can say that it is really going to set sail...
