From country team to giant

Chapter 681 Data Analysis
The game between Hoffenheim and Liverpool is not the highlight of this eighth round of the Champions League, so there is not much attention to it.

Since entering the quarter-finals, confrontations between giants and strong teams abound. In this case, Hoffenheim and Liverpool are basically a little transparent.

Although Hoffenheim and Liverpool have performed well in the Champions League, no one thinks they will go too far.

After all, this is the Champions League!
For the Champions League, European footballers have a considerable sense of superiority. If it weren't for several ups and downs in the Champions League, it would be difficult to really gain a foothold or go further.

For them, Hoffenheim and Liverpool, one is a dark horse, the other is a recovering giant, and they are far less interested in the confrontation between those championship seeds.

But even so, Liverpool in England and Baden-Württemberg in Germany were caught in a heated pre-match discussion.

Many Liverpool media believe that they will go to glory under the leadership of the young coach Usoka.

And Hoffenheim also firmly believes in the home team.

The two sides argued endlessly about the game, and they quarreled hard.

But the home teams of both sides are very quiet, there is no intention of even one side running out to fight, and even the training situation is closed, obviously they are carefully preparing for this game.

"This is Hoffenheim's statistics in the group stage. We can see from it that this is a team that focuses on passing and control. Steven has trained this team very well. If we start from the midfield and choose to go head-to-head with them, we will probably be the ones who suffer!"

An analyst points to a screen during a Liverpool coaching meeting.

Below are the members of the coaching staff including the head coach.

Usoka held a note in his hand, and from time to time lowered his head to write something.

This is their pre-match discussion meeting.

Not only to deal with Hoffenheim, they will do this before every game.

But this time, they obviously encountered a strong enemy.

"This is the data report of Hoffenheim's integration of multiple games. They are good at opening sneak attacks, which also means that this team enters the game state very quickly. After the first sneak attack, they will use Habbr as the core. They will continue to eat up space and press forward."

"This time period is the key. If we don't effectively stop the opponent during this time period, it is very likely that the rhythm will be taken away."

"A Hoffenheim who controls the rhythm is as dangerous as Barcelona, ​​and even stronger!"

"The statistics show that when they are leading, the chance of winning is as high as 89%, which is a terrifying ratio. And when they are behind, they will also press crazily in the first half."

"This is an extremely dangerous team, they have the wildness of wolves!"

Finally, the analyst concluded.

Head coach Usoka nodded slightly and said, "Report the loss of Hoffenheim."

The analysis officer changed the screen page, pointed to a piece of data and said, "Hoffenheim has not lost a game in the Champions League this season, but there are a few games in the league, but these losses all have a few similarities."

"First: In the first half, we must lead. If we can't score, at least we can't fall behind!"

"Second: We have to withstand the attack from Hoffenheim in the first half and exert strength in the second half."

"Third: Hoffenheim's left wing must be blocked. Meget is a player with strong personal ability. Although he is very young, he must not be underestimated."

"Fourth: After entering the second half, while Hoffenheim's physical fitness has not yet recovered, press! Attack! A goal must be scored within 46-70 minutes."

The analyst summed up a few points, and the members of the coaching staff also looked contemplative.

An assistant coach said: "Actually, we don't need to put too much strength into Meget, who is defending the left wing. I have observed this player. His technical characteristics tend to be flexible, but his physical strength is not strong, so we can use the characteristics of the Premier League."

The characteristics of the Premier League, everyone pondered.

The Premier League is famous for its tough style of play, which has also caused many problems for many technical players.

But will this work?

"In the Europa League final last year, in the match between the Red Factory and Hoffenheim, the Red Factory failed to effectively restrict Megett." A curly-haired coach said.

The coach who spoke before shook his head and said: "This is different. Red Factory is different from us. If Red Factory can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it. Our left back is Ricardo who is known as the 'villain'."

"I agree with Figo's statement that we can't invest too much power on the left wing, which is not conducive to our offense."

"I think we can try it, and if it doesn't work, let the midfielder assist in the defense."

"I also think Figo's opinion is fine."

People began to express their opinions.

As the head coach, Usoka has been silent.

After a while, he said slowly; "We pay too much attention to the left wing, have you forgotten who their right wing is?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they suddenly fell silent.

Ravens!
The European Golden Boy winner two years ago is also a talented player no less than Meget.

Usoka continued; "In addition to the two flanks, don't forget that the little guy named Ranie also has the ability to break through. If conditions permit, they can attack from three directions: left, center, right, and we can only defend a little bit. So, who is the key?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Usoka said with a heavy face; "Habr!"

"He is the core of Hoffenheim's midfield, and he is the goal of Hoffenheim. If Hoffenheim is described as a sports car, good performance is important, but its engine is the most critical factor."

"To contain Habr, to make it impossible for him to play the ball easily, this is what we should do."

Usoka caught the point right away.

Hoffenheim's offense often comes from the feet of Habr, and many people think that Ranier is the frontcourt organizer.

But every offensive opportunity of Ranieri was created by Habr and passed the ball.

Without the point of Habr, Ranier can only retreat to get the ball, which also loses his mobility in the frontcourt.

Therefore, to contain Habbr, the offensive lifeline of Hoffenheim was choked.

As long as Habr can't get the ball out, as long as Ranier is forced to drop back to catch the ball, everything is fine.

Thinking of this, Usoka said; "Observe Lesco's state, let him play in the next game."

Lesco is Liverpool's full-back, but this guy is not known for his defense, but for his precise long ball.

Liverpool is preparing to put a sweeper in the midfield to contain Habpur.

Offensive instigation is mainly the responsibility of the full-backs.

Liverpool have experimented with this tactical play for a long time, and it works well.
