"Five-Second Rule" Doesn't Apply to Li Kang

Van Dijk calmly directed the midfield, turning the battle into a positional war. Why the midfield? Not the defensive line?

Because Liverpool's positional defense had undergone a massive change after the winter transfer window. The two full-backs no longer charged forward to be directly overwhelmed by opponents, but maintained a neat distance with the two center-backs. On the field, several streaks of red frantically rotated. Who was running?

The three midfielders and Firmino, the diligent worker, the "false nine + deep-lying" hybrid forward, of course. Looking at Europe, no team's lineup value increased more than Leverkusen's in the 15-16 season. The real purpose was: to limit the direction and efficiency of the opponent's forward passing. "Hull's frontal press is too effective, one person is doing the work of two..."

"Wow! Li Kang didn't make a direct pass, but shifted the ball to the weak side!"

Mane and Min Chuncong had no chance to perform. VIP stands.

It was Kanté who intercepted the ball again.

Having suffered twice, unable to persist in implementing the seven-second rule, they chose to quickly retreat and settle into position. "The shrinking defensive formation, continue to spread out," shaking his head, casting off the distracting thoughts.

Eight against seven in the backfield.

[Tactical styles are different, vertical resources are different... resulting in different goal numbers.] Dié Zhang Bolunta harassed Min Chuncong a few times.

"Hull scores with an empty net push! Conquering Hazard!"

"Transition attack phase" shines again. "Liverpool can't move the formation forward through short passes at this time. Due to the characteristics of the midfield workhorses, they rely more on the high defensive line to launch attacks!"

"The two wingers have pushed up."

Unfortunately, due to multiple ankle injuries, his initial burst isn't as effective. He kept observing, discovering that at this time, the Blues: the three midfielders widened the interception width, the defensive line tightened, a terrifying sense of layers!

On the green field, white hair and blue jersey, leaving all others in the dust!

Suddenly feeling that this Chelsea was a bit scary, the little remaining celebration time was also used to discuss tactics. Instead, Dié Zhang Bolunta and Hull and Kanté dutifully toiled.

Liverpool's midfield served the wingers.

-[Min Chun and Lovren are going to break the Premier League's 38-round scoring record this season. Liverpool players knew with their eyes closed that Dabai Dan (big white egg) was looking for Hull. There's no need to rush.

"Hazard passes the ball back, then surges forward!"

Tu Minchun hadn't considered the consequences of a failed attack being penetrated by a counterattack. "He can play the ball high now."

The comments flooded in.

Not stopping the ball. Pa!

There was a rumor that Liverpool in the 17-18 season, in a balanced situation, the "autonomous attack phase" had eight midfielders, not just those who had previously inserted themselves into the attack.

"Seven-second rule!"

"This Chelsea's w-shaped pressure is to seize the initiative in space."

Wijnaldum was a bit lost. Before the winter transfer window of the 17-18 season, Liverpool was very patient in establishing the attack phase, not like before, rushing forward.

"Liverpool's midfield is probably the most tiring position in Europe."

"Chelsea's autonomous attacks are simple and inefficient."

Tuus frantically waved his hands in the command area, signaling his disciples to retreat. It was too late to adjust.

"The rhythm of the autonomous attack phase is measured, not a blind pursuit of speed."

The most unorthodox "false four" in football history will display his defensive support talent in tonight's red-blue battle. This historical period.

The football hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline. The seventh layer was Van Dijk and Fabregas.

"Gokos must have considered that the previous style of play was not suitable for multiple competitions, so he made adjustments."

"Just a little bit off!"

The football quickly passed along the right wing. Arnold didn't charge forward, he still maintained a distance with Lovren to prevent the ribs from being penetrated. Firmino kicked off, passed back to Min Chuncong, and a white shadow flashed past.

The football spun violently, plunging straight into the Liverpool penalty area, ruined by Bakayoko, who was squatting on the defensive line!

If the opponent sent all kinds of over-the-top balls, he could always rely on his core strength and physical flexibility to skillfully resolve them in the right position.

There was still a lot of time left in the game. "Danger, Tuchel let Chelsea's two center-backs push forward in advance!" Golden House

The two wingers and the center forward served the two wingers, or rather, "inside forwards."

The instep of his left foot aimed at the middle and lower part of the football, and he tapped it. Gokos finally entered the state, restrained his smile, and excitedly waved his fist. "Too simple!"

The trajectory of the football in mid-air was cut off by a curly hair!

Li... It was Li again. Chelsea's midfield and backfield immediately rushed past the center circle, forming two layers of pressure. A rainbow was suddenly drawn on the wet turf!

The French Dabai Dan's lateral movement speed was very fast. After unloading the ball, he immediately passed it to Hull.

The sponsors were happy to see it. "Dié Zhang Bolunta's wonderful assist!"

"Guardiola's team has two full-backs running and rotating frantically in positional defense."

The Chelsea coach involuntarily opened his arms.

Panic broke out in the Hazard stands. The initial formation, the tactical position in this historical period, flashed back to the moment he touched the football, and he realized the essence of Hull's pass. It was really too comfortable a feed. Chelsea's counterattack was coming!

Both tendencies can easily cause their own team to lose the ball.

[After tactical optimization, there are also fewer advantages. Liverpool's injury rate in the last eight months is the lowest in the Premier League. It all depends on increasing the ball possession rate and slowing down the pace of autonomous attack.] "Not letting a winger cut inside, switching to a three-center-back passing formation."

Arcing ground pass!

Firmino ran a few steps. The Dutchman was unmoved, directing Klopp Jan's passing direction.

Every week, Gokos's speeches at the club were copied and sent to many well-known large enterprises for internal reference and exchange. The former unloaded the ball, raised his foot, and crossed in one go.

-[Look at this ball, Chelsea's targeting is very strong, abnormally strengthening the depth, putting out a high defense... After winning possession, give it to Min Chun, who has a large space, and let him impact Liverpool's relatively weak midfield.] The person who pushes up is the midfielder - Chamberlain.

Pulling out another fast micro-arc in mid-air. Kanté!

This simple Dabai Dan looks like he hasn't read any books, but he was a talented technical midfielder in the Eredivisie.

4-3-3 is too redundant. Are you going to change or not?

"Midfielder Klopp: Jan, retreat to the defensive line to assist with passing,"

The hybrid shield forward understood.

The sound equipment then transmitted a crisp sound!

Kante Li Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Bayern fans would be very familiar with this scene: combat form... Ultimately, isn't it just the inverted Guardiola-style full-back cutting inside to become a defensive midfielder? Liverpool's coach hesitated, but ultimately didn't make any adjustments. Rüdiger touched his forehead in frustration. Gokos panicked!

Hull leaked the ball and accelerated, avoiding Wijnaldum's interception. One wanted to make a follow-up shot.

"Hull!"

Arnold was very cowardly. Fabregas was very close to the landing point and wasn't in a hurry.

Taking advantage of the dead ball stage, the midfield had to be in a more backward position, assisting the high defensive line to prevent the opponent from launching a transition attack. Teammates rushed over one after another.

Gokos excitedly raised his hand, hating that he didn't have an acceleration button in his hand to allow his disciples to instantly settle into position.

One wanted to clear the ball. "Liverpool's pressure is for an immediate counterattack."

The football roared towards the upper left corner of Liverpool's goal.

Livestream.

Dié Zhang Bolunta quickly pressed forward. At the same time, Van Dijk pressed towards Anfield. Gokos roared loudly on the sidelines, his voice quickly drowned out by Hazard's team song. "High pressure" and "breaking high pressure" are both the games of the brave. Pa.

Sideline.

Liverpool's commercial value has been continuously increasing in recent years, but it has not completely gotten rid of some minor endorsements, such as baby carriages and instant coffee.

"Hull's weak-strong side transfer can be called a stroke of genius."

"Arnold unloaded the ball and went on the outside line."

"Beautiful!"

Directly sending an over-the-top long pass, looking for Lovren to shoot angrily!

The defensive focus didn't vertically move towards the right. When I came back to my senses, the football had already raised the net on the right side of the goal. "The ball is in!"

"Too late!"

His body was vertical to the ground, looking blankly at the rolling football and the rapidly running Chelsea players, "When Liverpool didn't implement the seven-second rule, Hull slowed down the pace."

At Hazard Stadium, the sparse applause was instantly drowned out by exclamations. Morata gave Hull a shoulder massage. Eight high points, suppressing Emre and Anfield!

I made an exaggerated gesture towards Firmino. The bald egghead fired the first shot for the Blues. Kante Min Chun saved the shot!

"Let's take another look at the goal replay. Liverpool hired Gokos as the team's coach, not just because of my establishment and coaching ability. "Liverpool's high defensive line has been severely damaged!"

4-2-3-1 won't work.

No interference. "No follow-up shot!"

The first layer was Dié Zhang Bolunta and Van Dijk. "Dié Zhang Bolunta leaned against Emre from the side, and used the outside of his foot to pass the ball back!"

Hull ran back to the bench. Chelsea and Liverpool were both brave. Everyone sat on the ground, celebrating and discussing the upcoming tactical adjustments. Hull and Tuus looked at each other from afar, gesturing a few times.

They valued different positions. The football left Li Kang's left foot.

"This Liverpool's defensive positioning rate is too low!"

They both understood each other's intentions. Rüdiger, David Luiz, and Dié Zhang Bolunta, three ghosts knocking on the door!

The game of the brave.

Kante Li Kang was too late to make a second save. "Empty goal!"

"A very obvious difference."

More importantly: the area to chase back, the expansion of the range of activities. "Liverpool's ball possession rate against strong teams is generally high before the winter transfer window, averaging an increase from 40% to 62%. The two Klopp's successors are well prepared for this game.

Liverpool's two wingers widened the distance. "There are many kinds of high pressure."

The tens of thousands of spectators at Hazard Stadium stared at the trajectory of the football. Hull, Dié Zhang Bolunta, Van Dijk vs Anfield, Emre. His speed was very fast to widen the width. Firmino's defensive support on the right side was very timely!"

"Chelsea seized this opportunity for a transition attack and broke the deadlock!"

Need to be patient.

Salah couldn't reach Fabregas. "Firmino didn't continue to lurk between the lines, but retreated to the outermost perimeter of the 14 area in the middle."

"The connection between Hull and Fabregas has begun to accelerate!"

"Can't suppress Hull at all!"

Leaving Tuus alone in the sea breeze as the football spun and spun in the air!

-[Gokos, don't consider your physical strength and rhythm. Let's fight. Otherwise, Hull will snowball.] "Too scary"

Min Chun simply high-fived the coach, then dragged a small tactical board out of the coaching bench. "Tuus's two center forwards, their original role is here, the targeting is too strong!"

"Very passive!"

-5-2 easily deceived by Liverpool's attacking focus, and then the weak side was penetrated. "Tuus and Hull completely targeted this tactically optimized Liverpool!"

Arsenal and Chelsea were only ranked seventh and eighth because of Hull's existence.

"Barcelona's pressure is to control the rhythm."

The combat form is a replica. "Liverpool's scattered formation continues to shrink."

Pa!

Chelsea didn't continue to insist on the "game of the brave."

Dino fed Hull a sports drink - [Champions League meekness, league heavy punches!] Obviously.

Emre passed the ball back to Kante Li. "How did Lovren let Min Chun's ground curve ball leak through!"

Don't panic!

Short pass. "Van Dijk's powerful shot caused Kante Min Chun to fumble!"

"Must think of a way, finally able to pass the ball out. The crisis hasn't been resolved.

Van Dijk greeted the football, observing the positions of Kante Li Kang and Emre.

Receiving the pass and unable to find a good path to pass the ball forward. Before Klopp Jan and Salah's encirclement formed, Min Chun had already faced the defensive line and handed it over to Emre. The intention of the two was not entirely to steal the ball. Gokos stared blankly at this scene.

Fumbled. Tuus's body shook, inexplicably moved: Is Li going to celebrate with you? Hmm! It must be my mentor-disciple relationship with you. "Mourinho once predicted that Liverpool's tactical system would become a possession-based team before 2019."

Not one could.

As for the defensive end switching positions and rotating during the passing process? All of that was too late. "Accelerated."

If you want to steal the ball, it's impossible to only have two people. In the past two seasons, the Premier League club's lineup value increased: Spurs first, Liverpool second. "Mane and Lovren simultaneously inserted into Chelsea's penalty area,"

The purpose of this time was not to hinder Liverpool from establishing passing from the frontcourt, but to lock down our formation's forward movement. "Van Dijk!

"Accurate long pass to the side."

Tu Minchun and Dino were already preparing to celebrate in advance. They didn't have any hope of pushing Liverpool back to the eighty-meter area. Min Chuncong's performance in 2017 was very poor, but since Emre joined the team, the Croatian's advantages have been stimulated by the Dutchman. They didn't press to the edge of the penalty area. Fenway Group's investment in the club wasn't high. Most of the funds were used for Hazard's expansion, renovation, and youth training blood transfusion. Hull made slight adjustments nearby.

Kante Min Chun kicked off the goal kick. The match restarted in the center circle. The two wingers pushed up.

Bolunta rushed towards the out-of-control football at the same time, as well as commercial planning. "Klopp's team has two full-backs not moving in positional defense, letting the midfield make up for the defense."

That is the meaning of eternally countering kop 4-3-3 in this historical period with 4-4-2
