Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 15 The New Season Is Finally About to Begin (Third Update, Please Vote for Me!)

Judging from the warm-up situation before the season, not all of Chen Yingxiong's teammates are in such good condition.

Charlie Adam, who made a forced comeback, suffered a blow here. Only halfway through pre-season training, he entered the injured list again due to the recurrence of an old injury. The same part was injured. [bsp; There are two options, one is to have another surgery, but this will be devastating to the injured part and will also greatly affect his sports life. Another way is conservative treatment without surgery, but the recovery period is very slow. How slow is it? Anyway, it is always right to go for three months.

This was a huge blow to him. What made him even more frightened was that head coach Martin O'Neill was very dissatisfied with Charlie Adam's insistence on returning early, which resulted in more serious consequences. In other words, Charlie Adam was eager to The idea of ​​making a comeback and showing off to Martin O'Neal not only failed to come true, but also had the opposite effect.

It's really a waste of money.

When Martin O'Neill took office as the new coach, he originally inspected the players' abilities and observed their status. At the same time, it was also important to prepare for the season and maintain the integrity of the player lineup. Charlie Adam, as the team's main midfielder last season, had to miss three months due to injury. This is of course very detrimental to O'Neal's plan. The season hasn't even started yet, and there is one more person on the injury list, and the old injury has recurred. This is really unlucky - the recurrence of an old injury means for a professional player that his injury is likely to become a chronic disease. Relapse at any time in the future. That would be too bad.

Martin O'Neill cannot tolerate such unprofessional behavior by his players - he does not think that Charlie Adam's early comeback is a sign of professionalism, on the contrary, it is a sign of irresponsibility for his body.

In his heart, Charlie Adam's position was already behind Lucas. Anyway, when Charlie Adam truly comes back, Lucas will have already returned to the team, so there will be no place for him as Charlie Adam.

If Charlie Adam knew that his good intentions were bad, he would probably have thoughts of transferring and leaving... This is so tragic!

Except for Charlie Adam, who was a little troubled, everyone else was doing pretty well. Although their conditions were different, they were not injured at all.

Yinle was a little uncomfortable with it. The defensive philosophy of English football is completely different from that of Italian football. In Italy, he was used to the concept of teammates assisting in defense and overall defense. When he came to England, he discovered that love was different from Italy.

This will require some readjustment, but shouldn't be a big problem. Players coming out of Italy have very strong tactical adaptability. Even for someone like Chen Yingxiong who was not good at tactics, after coming to England, Dalglish changed his tactics immediately and moved from the air to the ground. Chen Yingxiong only adapted to a few games.

If it were Chen Yingxiong who had just transferred from Zenit St. Petersburg to Naples, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to adjust in half a season...

This incident also shows that Chen Yingxiong's tactical understanding is much better now than it was a few seasons ago.

Martin O'Neill knew that Chen Yingxiong had to use his head as little as possible, so the tactics he developed for Liverpool were focused on the feet.

But to be honest, most of Liverpool's players have rough foot skills. Although they cooperate on the ground, they are still very open and close.

Definitely not as skilled as Arsenal or Barcelona.

However, this simple and direct ground cooperation will become infinitely powerful as long as Chen Yingxiong is present. And another good news is the joining of Sanchez. Sanchez is one of the few players in the Liverpool team with good footwork. His breakthrough on the right side is very sharp, and his dribbling ability is excellent both vertically and horizontally. His arrival can enrich Liverpool's tactics and also bring some changes to Liverpool. These changes may bring victory to the team in the game.

Chen Yingxiong's style should be familiar to the English team, but as for Sanchez... he is a person who can bring endless variables.

Fortunately, Sanchez adapted to the team relatively quickly. This may be related to the fact that Chen Yingxiong has a better relationship with him. Not long after he arrived at the team, he saw him and Chen Yingxiong, Skrtel, Adam Johnson, and Suarez Si mixed together.

Of course, Martin O'Neill would not know that there is an underground organization called "Liverpool Branch of the Eat, Drink and Play Band" in his team. So he didn’t know that Sanchez’s ability to integrate into the team so quickly was all due to the Eat, Drink, and Play Band…

But in any case, Sanchez integrated into the team quickly, which is a good thing for him.

First, he needs to determine the main lineup through pre-season warm-up matches.

Rotation is necessary, but in order for a team to adapt to his tactical ideas as quickly as possible, it is best to have a fixed starting lineup. If nothing goes wrong, this lineup will take at least half a season. I won't consider rotating it until after Christmas.

After several warm-up games, in Martin O'Neal's mind, there is basically a suitable main lineup framework.

The goalkeeper is Reina, there is no doubt about it. The main central defenders are mainly Skrtel and Agger, with Caglar and Coates as substitutes. Currently, Glen Johnson and Enrique are the main full-backs. Although midfielder Inle has not fully adapted yet, he is definitely the main force. I hope he can adapt as soon as possible. His partner Gerrard returned from injury. If Lucas and Charlie Adam return from injury, they will be a strong complement.

Because of Sanchez on the right, Adam Johnson no longer has to play right midfielder. Sanchez is now on the right. Adam Johnson went to the left wing, but he is originally a left-footed player, so he is just right here.

Regarding wing tactics, because Chen Yingxiong wants to use his feet as much as possible, Martin O'Neill told Adam Johnson and Sanchez that they can cut inside more and cooperate with Chen Yingxiong instead of just making crosses.

The starting forwards are Chen Yingxiong and Suarez.

This is the most basic 442, parallel midfield position.

If you only have one set of tactics, you will definitely not be able to go very far in the season, because it will be too easy for others to study thoroughly. Although the English coaches are not as crazy about tactics as the Italians, a standard set of parallel positions 442 is too simple, right?

So O'Neal also designed another set of tactics, which is 4231. In fact, the players have not changed, but Suarez's position has changed. He has changed from a forward to a member of the "3", but he is not an attacking midfielder, but more like a shadow forward.

Of course, it would be better if there was a full-time midfielder, but it is a pity that Liverpool does not have such talent. Gerrard can come forward, but his main role is to take long-range shots.

Liverpool's pre-season preparations flew by in a hurry. During this time, Martin O'Neill was trying to adapt to the team, and the team was also adapting to him.

Fans have high hopes for this team. Every public training session is surrounded by enthusiastic Liverpool fans.

Liverpool's results during the Dalglish era were really terrible. Although everyone said that the poor results were not Dalglish's fault, they still knew it in their hearts.

Everyone hopes that the team can get on the right track under the leadership of Martin O'Neal.

Martin O'Neill's coaching ability is still recognized by everyone. Therefore, the coaching change between Chen Xing and Niang did not cause a backlash from fans and media.

Because of the high expectations, every move of the team during pre-season training has attracted much attention.

Originally, the results of warm-up matches were not important. What was important was the process and the performance of the players, especially the test of how new players have integrated into the team.

But maybe it's because Liverpool fans have been losing for too long. Even if they lose in the warm-up match, Liverpool's players can feel the pressure immediately. Liverpool's local media will also report at length on the warm-up match they lost, giving detailed scores to each player and analyzing their performance gains and losses.

I was really watching their game with a magnifying glass.

However, as a wealthy club, such pressure must be endured, and most players do not think it is anything special.

However, they were still a little unmotivated in the warm-up match. After all, it was a formal match, and there was no penalty for losing the game. In addition, Martin O'Neill conducted a large number of rotations in order to inspect the players, and the minimum number of substitutions in each warm-up match was All eleven.

So it's never like a regular game.

Now the players can't wait for the new season to come soon.

2012 was the year of the European Cup. There was the European Cup in the summer of that year, and England qualified for the European Cup finals. However, only Adam Johnson and Glen Johnson in Liverpool's squad were selected for the England team. They are not the absolute main force, they haven't played many games, and they are basically not affected by the European Cup. Gerrard was not selected for the squad at all due to injury. As a wealthy club, Liverpool is relatively lightly affected by the European Cup.

After the new season, when big players such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City are affected by the European Cup, maybe Liverpool can seize the opportunity?

Judging from the warm-up matches, Liverpool fans can really look forward to it.

On August 7, the English Community Shield whistle blew at Wembley Stadium. Last season's league champion Manchester United faced last season's FA Cup champion Everton.

This game is the prelude to the new Premier League season.

In this hot summer, England fans have been waiting impatiently. The performance of the England national team in the European Cup was quite average. England fans can only say that their feelings and hopes are placed on the club team.

The theme of the promotional video launched by the Premier League for the new season highlights this sense of expectations among fans. With the fragments of fans' boredom in the summer, coupled with the wonderful performances of the stars and the passionate roars of the commentators, people can fully feel the excitement of football this summer.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Everton in the Community Shield and won the Community Shield. It seems that although Ferguson is another year older, Manchester United's dominance of the Premier League seems to continue...
