Liverpool's 3-1 home win over Newcastle United was a game of great disparity in strength, and there was nothing worth writing about, but liverpool manager Klopp's several platoon arrangements and on-the-spot adjustments were quite interesting.
First of all, let's talk about the Liverpool backline, because Van Dijk tested suspected positive before the game and could not play, Klopp had to send a combination of Cornart and Matip, which is also the first time van Dijk has failed to start in the Premier League this season.
Although unintentional, but indirectly giving the young Konat the opportunity to further learn and adapt to the Premier League, without Van Dijk's protection and guidance, Konat would obviously be a target for Newcastle United.
Sure enough, Konat paid the tuition for his youth, and in the first half of the year, Newcastle United made a surprise attack on the wing, and Conat was in place, but the top defense and pressure on the Newcastle United players were obviously not enough, which led to the opponent calmly cutting inward, and after shaking away from Conat, there was an open field in front of him.
Although, in the end, Newcastle United's goal was due to the poor release route of Thiago, and Servi caught Alisson off guard, but from the source, Conat must be responsible for a considerable part of the responsibility for Liverpool's goal.
However, since then, Konat has gradually entered a better situation, especially in the second half of the game, Konat has several single defenses, card positions, and broken balls, all impeccable.
Why? I believe that Klopp must have blown a blower on Konat in midfield, the old fritter Matip also demonstrated for Konat, there is a scene in the game that we are impressed, the same defense is in place, Matip has been close to the opponent's player's position, limiting the opponent's player's turn, and even finally ending the opponent's attack with fouls.
Konat is a smart professional player, when he dares to use his body to desperately card position, the advantage of the young man's young and strong as a cow is fully revealed, I believe that Konat's momentary growth will be an important gain for Liverpool in this game and even this season.
Let's talk about Chamberlain again, this season due to the liverpool midfielder's rising and falling injuries, Chamberlain has got a lot of opportunities, such as this game Fabinho is also because of the pre-match new crown test suspected positive, can not play, Chamberlain naturally got another chance to start.
However, it is a pity that Chamberlain is similar to the previous game cameo center, the presence on the court is not high, in fact, Klopp is deliberately putting Chamberlain in a more prominent position, it is difficult to say whether Liverpool is playing a 4-3-3 formation or a less regular 4-2-3-1 formation, Klopp obviously has a certain tactical tilt towards Chamberlain.
However, it is not too harsh to blame Chamberlain, Newcastle United as a whole retreat is relatively deep, which is not conducive to the play of Chamberlain's characteristics, because Chamberlain is a player who has a certain space to make it rush up, once the opponent's defensive formation is too dense, Chamberlain's weakness of lack of dexterity will be magnified, not to mention that he has suffered serious injuries many times in the past, and has long ceased to be the original "Zhang Zhenyun".
So, in this game, Chamberlain is very desperate and very positive, but the effect is not good. However, Klopp still firmly uses Chamberlain instead of Keita returning from injury, mainly because Chamberlain is already a player with a relatively high midfield appearance rate for Liverpool this season.
Moreover, Chamberlain's all-rounder attributes in midfield are likely to become an important reliance for Liverpool in the next Devil's schedule. Besides, did you not find that under Klopp's tutelage, Chamberlain's defense was really positive?
Finally, let's talk about an important substitution adjustment for Klopp, when Chamberlain fought diligently on the pitch for more than 70 minutes, and when Salah was still in full swing, Klopp waved a big hand, signaling the two to go off the field, and Keita and Firmino came off the bench.
I have to say that this is a just right substitution adjustment, Newcastle United finally began to try to squeeze out after shrinking for more than half a game, this time replaced by two players with better control of the rhythm, both to maintain the continuous suppression of Newcastle United, but also to allow the thigh Salah to get a certain degree of rest, why not?
Judging from the actual effect of this substitution, after Firmino came on, Keita as a partially organized midfielder, Liverpool's short pass cooperation in the middle of the road suddenly became more, and for a time it stirred up the Newcastle United defense.
At this time, Arnold's position is also more flexible, due to the fact that there is a more midfielder like Keita on the right, Firmino also has a clear shield attribute, Arnold began to roam the midfield unscrupulously, and even sometimes ran to the left forward position.
Such a big change, how does Newcastle United keep an eye on it? As a result, Arnold scored a groundbreaking long-range shot, essentially catching the newcastle United's misstep.
Of course, the platooning of a game is far from being as simple as the author said. The author just threw bricks and stones and told some of the details he saw for your reference.
The reason why Klopp will become the leader of the new generation of coaches is not only because of his unique personality charm, but also because he is willing to work tactical details to study, such as Brentford, Brighton and other teams, Klopp can see its tactical flashpoints and learn from them, such a coach is difficult not to succeed.
Finally, let's feel Klopp's bear hug again, hug, all the troubles of the world, at this moment, have been left behind.
