Chapter 583

"I rarely use the word 'disruption' to describe a tactic, but right now, I think it's the best way to describe Liverpool's drive-and-press approach."

"Their tactics are not cruel or brutal, but they are somewhat cold and very ruthless!"

"In the past, when we described a team disrupting the opponent's tactics, we usually used the term 'cutting off contact'."

"For example, Liverpool cut off the connection between Ajax's midfield and backcourt, or they cut off the connection between Van de Beek and De Jong.

"But now Liverpool's pressure tactics can no longer be described as cutting off. They are like a hammer, breaking the wooden stick of Ajax directly in the middle!"

"do you understand me?"

"The way they pressed and caused Ajax to get confused, the time it took for Ajax to get confused became very short, no longer the time it took to cut in the past, but the time it took to cut in directly."

"It is this change that makes Ajax unable to cope with it, and this is why Liverpool's new pressing tactics are stronger than the traditional pressing tactics!"

Scholes finally got to the point. The outside world has been discussing why Liverpool's new pressing tactics can become so strong, but no one has given a clear reason.

Until today, Scholes found a clear reason for this game.

Klopp started out with the pressing tactics, and his assistant Kravitz is also famous for his ability to analyze the pressing tactics. Zabia, who transferred from Bilbao, is best at dealing with the pressing tactics when formulating defensive tactics.

These three guys who are proficient in pressing tactics came together and finally upgraded the pressing tactics that had been dormant in football for decades without any improvement!

Ajax on the field is still feeling the power of this pressure tactic. Different from high-position pressure and crazy pressure, this kind of pressure quietly puts Ajax players into desperate situation in an instant!

The 40th minute of the game!

Ajax relied on Ziyech's personal ability to dribble past Robertson and pass the ball to the back post. Just like in the first leg, Ziyech passed the ball to the far post, trying to find Neres.

Neres almost made a mistake due to Arnold's interference, and after he barely stopped the ball, he had already lost the space to break through!

Neres could only protect the ball to prevent it from being intercepted.

But Rodri's defense was very fast, and Van de Beek cleverly kept distance, so Neres passed the ball to Van de Beek.

Van de Beek shot immediately after stopping the ball!

But because he was not prepared, the quality of his shot was very low and was caught in Alisson's arms.

"The quality of the shot was not very high, but it was the only chance Ajax had."

"In Liverpool's pressing tactics, it's simply a luxury to have enough space to shoot."

"So when you have a chance, you have to shoot immediately, but it's hard to threaten Alisson with this kind of shot, after all, Alisson's level is obvious to all."

Ten Hag on the sidelines pursed his lips, put one hand in his pocket, and directed the Ajax players to attack with the other hand, but his on-the-spot adjustments have not yet produced any effect.

The 44th minute of the game!

Lin Chen is blocking De Jong's passing opportunities. De Jong wants to find a breakthrough, so he now takes the initiative to dribble the ball and tries to break through with his personal ability.

But he needs to face Lin Chen, who has extremely strong defensive abilities!

Deron sprinted towards Lin Chen with the ball. Since Henderson and Rodri would always defend together on the other side, facing Lin Chen one-on-one at this time became the best option, at least in Deron's eyes.

Lin Chen chewed gum and slowly retreated, using this retreat to slow down De Jong's impact speed. In layman's terms, he wanted to let time defend De Jong on his behalf.
