Chapter 615: Failed season debut

After the Asian trip, Liverpool immediately returned to Europe, the team will begin the final preparations before the start of the new season.
　　 For the Asian stage, the team has exposed various problems in several friendly matches with other giants. The Liverpool team is also an urgent problem to be solved.
　　 Rogers’ coaching team needs to find a solution as much as possible in the short time before the beginning of August to enhance the overall strength of the team.
　　 Or personnel exchange, or tactical changes, and how to deal with the chemical reactions between various players is a top priority.
　　Perhaps before the start of the summer transfer, in the eyes of the Liverpool management, the departure of one or two main players will not cause any problems for the team at present.
Because in the perception of Americans, in the major professional leagues in North America, it is common for every team and every season to change the main players. As long as there are players of the same level, the team will not lose too much. Great combat effectiveness.
　　 However, in the field of football, American thinking is still not suitable or not suitable for Europe.
　　 Players of different styles, a tactical system that moves the whole body by one link, makes European football teams need to adjust time for lineup changes, and the adjustment strength is greater.
I originally thought that Sterling’s strength and influence might not be the same as Suarez’s player last year, but for now, after Sterling’s departure, it still takes enough time for Liverpool to change the overall tactics of Liverpool. The team adapts.
　　 The new season of the Premier League will start on August 8.
　　 And Liverpool’s first official game at the beginning of the season will be the "Premier League Super Cup" Community Shield game that still has a warm-up nature.
　　 And their opponent is the FA Cup champion last season, Arsenal.
　　 The "warm-up match" before the start of this league is a preview of Liverpool's team strength and the degree of integration with the team. It will also be Rogers's first answer sheet for the recent team lineup adjustments.
　　 The land of England in August is sunny and temperate.
　　 At Wembley Stadium in London, Liverpool, the Premier League champion last season, will join last season's FA Cup champion Arsenal in a wonderful giants duel.
When the new Premier League season has five days to start, the first championship of this new season, for Liverpool and Arsenal, is to focus on contention. Both sides want to use a championship trophy to start the new season. head.
　　 After many days of intense training, Liverpool is on the starting list, in order to take care of the tacit understanding between the players, there are not too many new players.
　　 However, the two high-priced signings, of course, still have to appear among the starting players.
　　 Compared to the weaker Arsenal, Liverpool's offensive formation in the neutral court is quite impactful.
　　Since the 442 lineup in the friendly match was not very impressive, Rogers changed back to the most familiar 433 lineup.
　　 On the front line, Benteke is in the center, Sturridge and Lallana are separated.
　　 Sturridge returned to the big last season, he is more able to play more of his offensive strength position, while Lallana is to withstand the pressure, try to do the original contribution of Sterling to the team.
　　 Coutinho, Firmino, and Henderson form Liverpool's highly capable offensive midfielder.
　　 After playing the left wing for a season, Coutinho returned to the familiar midfield position, which was also Rogers' intention.
　　 He wants to use Coutinho's excellent long-range shooting ability, as well as the gradually increasing ability to cross, and with his breakthrough, Coutinho will focus on becoming Liverpool's new offensive core.
　　 However, the very offensive Liverpool midfielder has an obvious problem, that is, the team will lack the protection of strong midfielders.
　　 Henderson is indeed a midfielder who is good at running, but compared to a full-time defensive midfielder, his offensive ability may have a certain impact on Liverpool's defense.
　　 In the backcourt, Liverpool’s new aid did not play, and Rogers chose to use a more tacit combination of champion backcourts to play in the first game of the season.
　　 Winning this championship is a good start for Rogers to start the new season.
　　 However, Arsenal has made Liverpool suffer.
If we say that the failure of the previous friendly matches, there are also the reasons for the team's running-in and not paying attention to the warm-up match, but in this game, the championship is determined by the first battle, even if there is a "warm-up match" nature, but both sides are the main players In the case of playing, Liverpool's performance in this game is really lack of representativeness.
　　 First of all, for Liverpool, the winning method found on both ends of the offense and defense last season.
　　 Youth storm, Liverpool is still maintaining, even if all members are "old" one year old, but at the age of the main lineup, Liverpool is still the "little young" among the strong teams.
　　 However, Liverpool's overall frontcourt press has lost the intensity of last season.
　　 Benteke, although Firmino is active enough, the team is unable to achieve enough tacit understanding to build a loopholeless pressing system.
　　Besides, Benteke's tall figure really has the advantage in the fight for the top, but in the frontcourt, his speed and flexibility are too much.
　　Although Firmino is very comfortable with such tactics, in the game, due to the running-in time, he could not form a perfect match with other Liverpool players.
　　 The result is that in the game, the frontcourt press that should be a test of the team's running-in level is full of loopholes in the game.
　　 Their own press is not strong enough, and Arsenal, Walcott, and Chamberlain are wing fast runners.
For Liverpool, any openness on the defensive end will be caught by the Arsenal players, and they will continue to hit Liverpool’s back line~EbookFREE.me~ It can only be said that Rogers underestimated the strength of Arsenal. His weak placement in the midfield has paid the price.
　　 Yang Feng's performance on the defensive end is already very good.
Facing the impact of many technical and speed players in the Arsenal lineup, Yang Feng relied on his predictive ability and excellent defensive position selection, personally defending, or commanding his teammates, helping the team resolve many Arsenal Na’s offense.
　　 But under the constant impact, Chamberlain still found a breakthrough on the wing for Liverpool’s defense.
　　 Using the counterattack from the ground to advance, Yang Feng did not give Yang Feng enough time to react. When Chamberlain exploded with his absolute speed advantage, Yang Feng could only look at the dust and sigh.
　　 Chamberlain made a one-stop goal into the Liverpool penalty area and scored with a low shot.
　　 When the team fell behind, Rogers wanted to focus on developing Benteke's role, but the results were not satisfactory.
　　 The cross from two full-backs from the wing did not create enough threats for Arsenal.
　　 Koscielny and Mertesacker's central defender combination, when facing Benteke, there is no fear.
　　 Coupled with the transfer from Chelsea, but the excellent performance of Cech in front of the goal, Liverpool’s offensive has not made much progress.
　　The offense in the game was very stagnant.
　　 In the end, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 1-0 and successfully won the cup at Wembley Stadium, and Liverpool’s season debut, the performance was smashed...
