74 74: Coach's Response!

(Sorry Sorry. I was tired after playing Holi so unknowingly I fell asleep. Btw, Happy Belated Holi Everyone!🌈)

The first half was over.

The score was still fixed at 1-0.

But the Liverpool fans were happy, blaring and singing the team's anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone!" from the stands.

A full 50,000 fans sang loudly, such a scene, only a wealthy team can do it.

Anant Tayagi, who was sitting in Star sports studio, was fascinated by this scene broadcast on TV.

He also wanted to be like ordinary fans, sitting in the fan stand, singing the team song and booing the opposing players and fans loudly.

However, his free time was very limited.

Back in the visiting team's locker room, Rocky was depressed.

His teammates really worked hard, but this game was currently behind, and the whole team had nothing to do with it.

In other words, Leicester City was tactically crushed by Liverpool.

This was impossible.

Although in the first half of the game, Liverpool players consumed a lot of physical energy, but Leicester City players also consumed a lot of physical energy.

After all, fighting with the Liverpool players and fighting back with the butt after losing the ball, the consumption was still huge.

"This game, before the start, we knew it would be difficult."

"Klopp, who led Dortmund's sweep across Europe, is definitely not an ordinary person."

"Now we have also seen it, he made a move to me, and I naturally have to respond!"

"This game has nothing to do with you, it's a duel between our two coaches!"

Ranieri looked at his players who were a little gloomy, and said.

"In the second half, they will definitely continue to press high in the first ten minutes, or even the first twenty minutes!"

"You just need to defend well and save your energy, I can allow you to concede another goal, but you must keep your fitness!"

"When they give up the high press, it's our chance to attack!"

"Fuchs, Simpson, when the time comes, the two of you will charge and attract their defenses!"

"Kante, you can go forward and attack when the time is right, don't stay in the backcourt, otherwise the pressure on Rocky alone against four people is too great!"

"Mahrez, Albrighton, recover properly when the two of you are off the ball to relieve Rocky's pressure!"

Having said that, Ranieri turned to looked at Rocky.

"Rocy, the pressure you have to face in the second half is still a lot, and I can only help you here!"

"Then it's up to you to face it!"

Ranieri also expressed helplessness, tactically, he had tried his best to help Rocky to alleviate the pressure.

There was no player on the bench who could help Rocky.

If you go to Drinkwater, the effect was not as good as Kante.

In the first half, the team's two full-backs basically did not attack much.

That's why Liverpool's defence was so easy.

In the second half, Ranieri intends to put them on top.

In this way, Mahrez and Albrighton can have a lot of relief.

As for Rocky, it depends on how much Klopp values Rocky.

If Klopp really intends to freeze Rocky completely, then it can be seen how Rocky responds.

Rocky also knew that, tactically, Ranieri had already given himself the greatest inclination.

Everything that follows is up to you to face.

However, just after the break, every scene of the first half was slowly replayed in Rocky's mind.

Rocky also had an idea of how to play in the second half.

Fifteen minutes passed.

The game continued.

Although the two sides switched sides, Liverpool's enthusiasm had not changed in the slightest.

As Ranieri said in the locker room at halftime.

Liverpool have launched a mad dog-like tactics again.

High-frequency, high-intensity high-level pressing reappears.

It's just that the difference from the first half is that Leicester City's players are already prepared and have a way to deal with it.

Although in the first half, Rocky tried to lead the players to play tiki-taka, but failed in the end.

But in the second half, Leicester City's players took the initiative to play pass football.

Consecutive kicks made Liverpool's players exhausted, and they were no longer so strong in the first half.

But if you watch the second half, I am afraid that the audience who just turned on the TV will feel that Liverpool played very embarrassed.

Standing on the sidelines, Klopp touched his beard-covered chin and took the initiative to stop the high-position pressing tactics.

The tactical level and strength of Leicester City's players on the field were still very high, especially Rocky.

They have the ability and the strength to play pass-and-control football.

Even if Liverpool's players intercept the football, there was no way to find a good opportunity.

Instead, it was better to take the initiative to stop the high pressing and let the players save some energy.

Seeing that Liverpool's high-level pressing was stopped, and the players of Leicester City also started the game according to the tactical arrangement of Ranieri.

Fuchs and Simpson plug in frequently.

They cooperated with Mahrez and Albrighton, and they were often able to use the wall-to-wall dribble to complete the two-to-one, and they came to Liverpool's sideline to kick and pass.

Although their crosses can always be topped by Sakho or Lovren.

Either blocked by two full-backs on the touchline or the bottom line.

Even if it is successfully passed to the penalty area, it will be attacked by Mignolet.

But this second half gave Leicester City fans hope.

At least they're on the offensive.

It's far better than no threat and attack in the first half.

The only thing that worries Leicester fans was that Rocky was still limited by Liverpool's players.

"What? Do you have any ideas?"

"Without your transmission in the middle, it would be difficult for us to equalize if we only rely on our crosses from both sides."

"Maybe at the end of the game, we will be the second Manchester United."

"In one game, the legend in the 81-foot pass will be ours!"

During a dead ball, Albrighton approached Rocky and asked half-seriously, half-jokingly.

"You are in charge of pass organization on the wing and in the middle."

"You must be good at this, right?"

"I'm plugging in the offense."

"Although they limit my passing, they can't limit my shots, right?"

"And if they foul in the frontcourt, they can give us a free kick, which is also a good opportunity for us."

Rocky covered his mouth with one hand and told Albrighton his thoughts.

There are no real restrictions on the field, as long as the players have brains, the so-called restrictions are not a threat.

Just like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, everyone knows to limit them, but have they succeeded?

And Rocky had his own idea after going through the temptation again and again.
