Coach, I want to play football!

"Although the opponent defended well, the problem in the final analysis still lies with us."

"We had limited chances in the first half, but there wasn't much of a threat in the limited chances. That's our problem."

"Strong people never complain about the environment and their opponents being too strong. That's just an excuse for the weak."

"We needed some changes in the second half. The opponent's system of three central defenders and five defenders, plus the three midfielders, really caused us a lot of trouble."

"But it's not completely without flaws. In the second half, we mainly played on both sides and looked for breakthroughs along the wings. In particular, the position between the opponent's center back and wing back can be used."

"If the wing-backs don't go back deep enough, there will be a gap between them and the central defender. At this time, there is a rare opportunity to hit behind in a dense defense."

"If the opponent's three central defenders get out of the way, then there will be problems in their defense in the middle. After all, a line of four people becomes three people, and the distance will definitely be widened. At this time, we need to insert from the middle. opportunity."

"In addition, if the opponent's midfielder returns to the central defender line to help defend, then we will look for coordination issues between the opponent's midfielder and central defender."

"At the same time, in the second half, we increased our set kicks and long-range shots to create more fouls for the opponent. The opponent is not as tall as us, so corner kicks may be an opportunity."

In the first half, the score between the two sides was stalemate at zero to zero. Liverpool's offense was completely trapped in the opponent's crowd tactics, while Everton's counterattack basically posed little threat.

Mainly because the opponent's counterattack was too formulaic, relying on two wing-backs to pass the ball from the wing, then looking for Lukaku in the center, and finally Ross Barkley stepped in to seek the second opportunity.

As long as you keep an eye on the two counterattack points in the middle, it's basically not a big problem.

Therefore, during the halftime break, Klopp's targeted adjustments were basically directed at the offensive end, and were rarely mentioned on the defensive end.

Everton's three central defenders today are not tall, and the tallest one is only 1.87 meters tall, which is about the same as Ye Qi. For example, Jagielka is only 1.80 meters and Williams is only 1.82 meters.

As for McCarthy, Barry and Schneiderlin, it goes without saying.

Liverpool only got two corner kick opportunities in the first half, but the results were not ideal.

Mane and Coutinho also nodded frequently, which shows that the main focus of the offense in the second half is still on them.

Ye Qi thought about Klopp's words and felt that he had a general understanding.

But is there some trickery in corner kicks?

When head coach Klopp left the locker room and gave time to the players to rest, Ye Qi found several teammates such as Coutinho, Henderson and Matip.

"I think we can play something different in the corner kick in the second half. There are too many people in the opponent's penalty area. We must take the initiative to reduce the number of people in the opponent's penalty area."

Coutinho looked at Ye Qi and said in his heart, "What you said is simple. Everyone knows that there are many people in the opponent's penalty area when defending a corner kick. Is it possible that you can still call out the opponent's defensive players?"

Henderson knows that Ye Qi has many ideas. After all, when attacking and counterattacking, Ye Qi often takes the lead. Although he is a center, Ye Qi sometimes even thinks like a playmaker.

"What can you do?" Henderson asked.

Ye Qi thought for a while, smiled mysteriously, and then put one hand on Matip's shoulder and the other on Klavan.

"The corner kick attack in the second half, we did this...and then we did this...and finally..."

Coutinho looked at Ye Qi doubtfully, "Can it be done?"

Liverpool's corner kick will most likely be taken by him or Henderson.

"Let's give it a try. There's no loss anyway. At the same time, when it's inconvenient to hit the goal directly during a free kick, let's make good use of the second point." Ye Qi said.

Matip and Klavan nodded, understanding what Ye Qi meant.

In particular, veteran Klavan feels that this may be a good idea.

In the end, captain Henderson nodded, "I think we can give it a try..."

Coutinho spread his hands and said, "Okay, I'll die if I try..."

Soon, the fifteen minutes of the intermission passed, and the second half of the game between the two sides was about to begin.

Zhan Jun: "Okay, the second half of the game is about to begin. I don't know what adjustments the head coaches of both sides have made."

Liu Yue thought for a while and said: "I guess Everton will strengthen their counterattack in the second half of the second half. After all, the result they want is to try not to concede the ball before the seventy minutes, and then run out in the last twenty minutes." After the opponent gains patience and morale, wait for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Zhan Jun nodded, feeling that what Liu Yue said made sense. After all, in their own home court, Everton cannot just ask for a draw when facing a mortal enemy like Liverpool.

And there must be something to be said for Ronald Koeman defending so intensively from the beginning, and it is impossible to simply set up the bus.

It would be understandable if you set up the bus at Anfield away from home, but at Goodison Park?

Everton fans at home are already a little dissatisfied. In their view, playing against a city rival like Liverpool requires overpowering the opponent.

Don't be timid, just do it!

However, Koeman's choice of setting up a bus in the early stage seemed to give in.

Although his predecessor Martinez would often play defensive counterattacks, he would not set up an iron barrel formation, and counterattacks were still threatening.

But today’s counterattack......

The Toffees fans shook their heads.

Fortunately, Koeman has just taken office. If he still looks like this for most of the season, Everton fans will probably call him out.

Soon, the second half of the game began, and neither side made any adjustments to the starting lineup.

But the on-site director noticed one detail, that is, the second half had just begun, and several players on the Everton bench were warming up on the sidelines.

Among them are offensive players Lennon, Miralas and Ecuadorian forward Enna Valencia, who is on loan from West Ham United.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that he has nothing to do with Manchester United's Ecuadorian winger Anthony Valencia.

The only connection may be that they are all Ecuadorian players.

Liu Yue also saw this scene and felt that Koeman would strengthen his offense in the second half of the second half.

After all, defense does not just want to get a draw, but to attack better.

At the beginning of the game, Liverpool did not play impatiently. They still controlled the ball step by step and then mobilized the opponent's physical fitness.

If the situation cannot be opened up, maintaining possession of the ball and not conceding the ball is the most basic.

This scene seems to be similar to the first half, but in fact there are some differences in details.

In the 48th minute, Mane's breakthrough from the wing attracted Baynes's attack. He protected the ball and wanted to pull it to the wing. Veteran Baynes saw this and immediately came over to block the position.

But Mane did not choose to break out by himself. Instead, he followed the space between Baines and the opponent's third central defender, stuffed the ball and hit it behind!

At this time, Klein came in at high speed from behind, then cut inside to get the ball and then went directly to the base.

Baines was a little surprised, obviously not expecting the opponent's full-back to cut inside and attack.

what is this? The full-back becomes an inside forward?

Damn it, am I a wing-back or are you a wing-back? !
