Chapter 585
After the start of this season, Klopp's initial tactical philosophy was to no longer use dynamic transitions.
Because this tactic from last season is a bit outdated for Liverpool, and its frequent use is likely to put Liverpool into a comfort zone and allow opponents to find opportunities and develop more and more ways to limit dynamic conversion tactics.
But when Klopp was working on the driving-and-pressing tactics, he suddenly had an extremely bold idea.
The driving-type pressing tactic is to force the opponent in possession of the ball to lose the ball and make their own position more chaotic. If it can be combined with dynamic conversion, first use driving-type pressing to make the opponent lose the ball and become chaotic, and then use dynamic conversion while the opponent is in chaos, take advantage of the high conversion speed of dynamic conversion to catch the opponent off guard and score a goal while the opponent is in chaos. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to integrate these two rare tactics!
After Klopp came up with this tactical routine, Zabia was the first to raise his hands and feet to disagree, and Kravitz was the second to raise his eight-pack abs to disagree!
"Boss, how is this possible?"
"It is very difficult for other teams to combine the two, let alone play one of them well. Apart from us, which other team can achieve the initial dynamic conversion?"
"No, only we can do it!"
"And this driving-style pressing, besides us, which other team can implement this kind of pressing tactics?"
"Impossible, we are the only ones who have done it, at least for now!"
Kravitz originally wanted to refute Klopp's point of view, but as he spoke, he suddenly realized that not only did he not refute it, but he indirectly verified Klopp's point of view!
After Kravitz finished speaking, Klopp laughed when he saw that he had confused himself.
"Have you seen?"
"You said it yourself just now. No one is good at dynamic transition or driving away pressure except us. Since we can play these two tactics well, why can't we integrate them together?"
"Why can't we do this?"
Klopp is very excited. Every time he develops a new tactic or upgrades a traditional tactic, he feels this excitement and sense of accomplishment.
Just like turning dynamic conversion from a very small concept into a real tactic, that sense of accomplishment is what all football coaches dream of.
And now Klopp knows that if he can achieve a perfect combination of driving pressure and dynamic transition, it is no longer a matter of success or failure. It will instantly elevate Klopp to a whole new level!
It's difficult, but Klopp is willing to put it into practice!
Truth is found and proven through practice!
Liverpool is currently far ahead in the total score, so there is no pressure.
Klopp decided to use this fusion tactic in the remaining 45 minutes, so Lin Chen and the Liverpool players returned to the court with great excitement and some nervousness.
No one knows what it will be like if we try to merge the two. It may be very smooth, or it may be very fragmented and end up destroying our own strength.
The game soon entered Liverpool's experimental stage.
Klopp knows that only by trying this tactic in a competition of this level can the practicality of this tactic be tested.
In the 52nd minute of the game, De Jong tried to pass the ball, but was seen through by Rodri. After being intercepted, the ball was fortunately taken back by De Jong.
Ajax could only pass the ball back, the opportunity came!
Lin Chen immediately started to rush forward, and then the Liverpool players implemented a driving-back counter-run tactic, and then Ajax's chances of passing the ball gradually disappeared.
Onana passed the ball quickly and seized the last chance.
Neres received the ball, but Gomez's excellent interception once again destroyed Ajax's offensive tactics.
Liverpool immediately started to play a dynamic transition tactic, first with excellent overall forward movement, and then with frequently changing transition coordination methods.
There was no problem until Lin Chen gradually realized that Liverpool's conversion system had become chaotic because of the confusion of Ajax players!
The reason why dynamic conversion tactics is stronger than traditional conversion tactics is that it is dynamic and can change anytime and anywhere!
This change is based on the opponent's defensive space. The original initiative is in Liverpool's hands, because the opponent's defensive space is fixed. The opponent's space is there. Liverpool can choose the opponent's defensive space to frequently change its switching tactics.
But now, the opponent's defensive space is no longer fixed, because Ajax's defensive space has become chaotic due to Liverpool's driving and pressing tactics.
The defensive space became chaotic, and Liverpool could not change their transition tactics according to the chaotic defensive space, and the initiative disappeared!
This dynamic conversion attack not only failed to achieve the expected effect, but was also intercepted by Schone, who then passed the ball to Ziyech in a long counterattack.
Ziyech's wonderful breakthrough and cross almost assisted Tadic to score!
If it weren't for Henderson's key clearance, Liverpool might have lost the ball because of this attempt!
Klopp found the problem, and Liverpool players also found the problem. This is the benefit of practice.
Only after practicing it yourself can you understand where the problem lies most intuitively.
Just when Klopp was about to ask everyone to give up this attempt temporarily, Lin Chen suddenly spoke to Klopp.
"Wait, I want to try again!"
Klopp knew Lin Chen too well! If Lin Chen hadn't found a way that he thought could connect the two, he would never have asked himself to try again.
When they heard Lin Chen's request to try again, Kravitz and Zabia's eyes lit up and they immediately agreed to Lin Chen's request.
The way in which the two rare tactics can be perfectly integrated may lie in Lin Chen’s next choice!
