There are variables in the form of the Premier League title race, with Liverpool still hoping to win the league and Anfield fans hoping for Aston Villa to block Manchester City. Aston Villa has "Liverpool elements", Gerrard is the meritorious captain of Anfield and Coutinho was also the core of Liverpool's midfield before, and they are likely to let Guardiola suffer a defeat. Former Irish star Steve Finnan said Gerrard was able to crack Guardiola's pattern because Guardiola's tactical formation lacked variables, which was one of the reasons the Blue Moon were eliminated in the Champions League. If Gerrard treats this game as a knockout, the young marshal has the ability to crack City's tactical model.
Finnan praised Konatai's performance this season, the French teenager has improved a lot and he should be selected for the national team, and Deschamps has the potential to let him play in the World Cup in Qatar. Finnan gave advice – Deschamps needed to pay attention to the characteristics of Konatai, who learned from Van Dijk and Matip, a Young French player who already had the standard of a world-class defender and who simply lacked experience in international competitions. Konatai feels similar to Desailly's, that's what characterizes him, Deschamps needs to pay attention to the characteristics of Liverpool defenders, and the Gallic roosters can stay fresh at the World Cup. Finnan envied france for having a number of young centre-backs, and Milan's Kalulu also had a chance to be selected for the national team.
Although Manchester City still have a lead in the table, Guardiola has seized the initiative to compete for the title, but Finnan believes that there are variables in the Premier League title race this season, Klopp still has a chance, of course, Liverpool need to look at others. Of course, this "other" is actually their own person, Aston Villa's results in the final round will not affect their qualifications for next season, in the case of this club has no desire, some people may take it for granted that the Blue Moon Army will win this opponent, after all, Manchester City is significantly stronger than Aston Villa. However, Gerrard also wants to help his old club win the Barclays Cup, and Gerrard's players will do their best to win a victory.
How does Gerald crack Guardiola's pattern? Finnan also acknowledged the fact that although Gerrard's tactical theory was good, his squad was not strong and the players' execution ability was not very good. So Finnan said Gerrard needed to see the weaknesses of Guardiola's tactical formation and he could refer to Manchester City's second leg against Real Madrid. In the opening stages of this game, the pace of both sides was slow, they played both control flow football, and this style of play is obviously Guardiola's strong point. Guardiola's pattern fears a sudden change in rhythm from his opponents, when Ancelotti replaced Rodrigo with the "ceremonial three midfielder", Camaringa became the dominant attack in midfield, and the Pace of the Bernabeu system suddenly accelerated.
So the Guardiola system will panic, after Rodrigo scored, as the game is nearing the end, the Galactico continues to speed up the pace of attack, real Madrid players in a single blow to create a Bernabeu miracle. Therefore, Finnan said that Gerald can crack guard's pattern - at the beginning of the game, Gerald uses a more comfortable rhythm of Guardiola to drag down the opponent's offensive rhythm as much as possible. In this way, Manchester City's players will start a slow control flow of football, and these players will also let their guard down at the mental level. By the time it's about seventy minutes, Gerrard needs to speed up the rhythm of the attack, in contrast to the rhythm of the first half, guarding the system opportunity can not adapt to the new rhythm, the Situation in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be repeated.
That's how Gerrard cracked the Guardiola pattern, and Coutinho will try his best to bring warmth to his old club, after all, Manchester City is a very favorite opponent of the Brazilian star. Liverpool still have a Champions League final to go, with Finnan saying Deschamps should take the Champions League final seriously, as the likes of Konathy and Kamawinga are fringe internationals that Deschamps needs to look at. The strength of this group of young French players determines the performance of the Gallic Rooster in the Qatar World Cup to a certain extent. Konathy has strong physical qualities, and many celebrities say that he is the next Desaili, and Desaili himself acquiesced to this statement.
After the ball, I think That Konatai's maturity is obviously not as good as Desailly's, but he seems to be more characteristic than his predecessors because his dynamic defense is better. The so-called dynamic defense requires the defender's prejudgment ability to be particularly strong - Konatai seems to be able to judge the opponent's forward's movements and offensive ideas in advance, which is an inspiration and a talent. So Finnan believes that Deschamps needs to pay attention to the characteristics of Konatai, and the French team's backline also needs excellent young players.
