Liverpool can regain confidence. After attacking Aston Villa, who used youth players to score 4-1 at Villa Park in the FA Cup third round on Friday, January 8. Allowing them to pass through to play in round 4 successfully
This game, “Reds” are superior in all fronts and come with quick goals from Sadio Mane, after which they have been in complete control. But in the end of the first half Carelessness is a source of disaster. When the Premier League champion last season. I was complacent, so I was rivaled by Lou Barry
However, in the second half, Jürgen Klopp made a substitution by sending the main players onto the field. And all the situations went to “The Reds” completely and then fired 3 more goals in a row, resulting in victory. And passed the round 4 comfortably
More importantly, the defeat of Aston Villa made the warlord “Reds” supposed to have more morale. Before the battle “Red Boil” deal with Manchester United at Anfield. This Sunday, Jan. 17
1. The first half of Liverpool was disappointing.
Although Sadio Mane scored Liverpool’s first four minutes and it looks like they should have mastered the timing of the play. Unfortunately, the form of the “Reds” in the first 45 minutes is quite disappointing. More importantly, Aston Villa’s young children scored a goal in the end of the first half as well.
While the attacking game of “The Reds” had several chances to score goals, especially the timing of Mohamed Salah and Jorginho Wijnaldum, but could not pass Agos. Onody, the 19-year-old goalkeeper of the host who showed very tough form.
I have to admit that the form in the first half made the followers “The Kop” quite haunted because the previous 3 games the team had played like this. Unable to penetrate the net of competitors who focus on defending deeply Lack of creativity In addition to the decision, the end of the score is not sharp. And also lacking enthusiasm
First-half form, it was clear Liverpool had a problem with entering. Even with the average youngsters aged 18 years and 294 days, they haven’t been able to put a lot of pressure on them. So what Klopp has to do now is to restore his players’ confidence as quickly as possible.
2. Immediate game-changing helper
Jordan Henderson’s performance in the first half was not very good. Therefore, it is not uncommon for Klopp to decide to remove the captain and send Thiago Alcantara on the field, because in addition to resting the body of “Hendo” and sending Thiago into the field. Helping the players become more familiar with the game.
Since Thiago has recovered, he has had the opportunity to continue to play and keep exerting his good form in this match. Was the heart in the middle for the team in the second half And have a chance to pass beautiful football Many times with teammates
The sending of Thiago into the field gives “Reds” a more diverse attacking game. Especially his sharp passing ball skills For example, the tempo of stabbing the ball for Neko Williams before opening Mohamed Salah hit the goal, but unfortunately it is an offside. Yet “class” ball like this is the “Kop” followers. Want to see
As for the other player who came down to change the game, Xherdan Shaqiri, who was sent on the field instead of Takumi Minamino, played brilliantly as a key to the team’s victory in the match. This is when the Swiss star. Show off by doing 2 assists for Mane and Mohamed Salah.
By the way, Klopp’s decision to send the main players into the field, including Roberto Firmino, Shakiri and Thiago, made the team even more formidable. And it also affects opponents who are only young players However, if you look at another angle, the game against Villa used all young players. They have to invest in solving the game by sending a large set of players onto the field. Is it possible to score a goal !! ??
Like this I must say that the existing reserves of the Reds are not good enough to be able to take care of the illness.
3. A soccer experience that the young lioness will never let down.
Aston Villa’s 11 start-ups average 18 years and 294 days only, while Liverpool averaged a significant 26 on the day James Milner made his Leeds debut. United in 2002, there were four football players who had started in this game. And some people are only just 3 years old
Of course, with the experience and potential of this set of Villa players. There is no way to fight with the football “The Reds” that is full of world class players. And rich experience Even though some people are a rising star But had already been through a big arena, so the chances of the host’s suppression were almost invisible
However, they created a buzz at the end of the first half. By beating the rivalry from Blue Barry, in addition, Agos Onodi Gold star looks promising, and it will have a bright future. Because he showed many super save in the first 45 minutes, the team did not get a goal from Liverpool.
More importantly, this match, the home team chose to use a 4-5-1 system by trying to focus on playing tightly and not allowing the “Reds” to penetrate into the goal. The event is to admire Kain Hayden, two midfield midfielder Benjamin Crissen and all Villa’s young players who have performed beyond expectations.
However, when Klopp decided to send the main players onto the field. Everything changed immediately. Given the potential and quality of “The Reds” power, it was impossible for the villa’s young stars to resist and eventually hit the nets as everyone has seen.
Nonetheless, these “fiery lions” were able to lift their heads and be proud of themselves. Because they have fun fighting against championship teams More importantly, these players also learn experiences that can be further developed for themselves in the future.
4. Reese Williams still has to develop a lot.
In this game, Rees Williams was given a significant opportunity from Klopp to appear alongside Fabinho as center-back. But in this event, the players cannot show their form as many Expected Importantly, the stroke of goals showed that he still had to improve in reading the game. And space control
Liverpool can always put pressure on the home team. And they don’t seem to have to worry too much about their defense as Aston Villa have little intelligence to cause problems for the Reds’ back-four, making it seem like they are quite casually playing. Until being punished
Rhythm that was equalized The team tried to push the game high. But Villa had cut the ball before being sent to Callum Rowe, then the agent managed to pass the ball to Lou Barry, who had the speed to tear off Williams before slipping through Quvin K. Leleher sent the ball into the net.
I have to tell you from such a beat It immediately realized that Williams might not be the team’s best choice, especially with a lot of strength and speed to improve. So what the followers of “The Kop” prayed is that Joel Matiphi is perfect in the “Red Boiling” game next weekend And the rest of this season
5. Raise confidence before the battle “Red Boil”
To win in this game It might be a little teased that it takes a big set to defeat Aston Villa in the youngsters, but that’s not the point. Because during the time when the form falls like this Being able to win with impressive form And score a lot of goals Is more important
For dealing with Manchester United at Anfield. There is a high probability that before the “Reds” game will fall to No. 2 because “Red Devils” have a duel with Burnley in a residual game on Tuesday. Just as they always have points over Liverpool to be top of the crowd immediately.
During this period, I have to admit that Man United’s performance and mental state are quite confident. Even if they had just been knocked out by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup playoffs and for the fourth time in a row they fell in this round in the past 12 months, however, the form of the “Red Devils” still looked dangerous. over
So being able to beat the villa with four goals like this is a great morale. Before the battle Good, bad, this match may be a turning point for the “Reds” that are fierce at the beginning of this season. Come back to prominence again
