They say that football is played in the details, and the game between Liverpool and Arsenal is the embodiment of this saying.
Jürgen Klopp prevented Mikel Arteta from cementing the knot and forbade him to leave it behind for the third time in a row; Beat Liverpool 3-1 in the Premier League to claim the full mark after 3 rounds.
Both coaches were based on the family schematic diagram. Klopp 4-3-3 and Arteta 3-4-2-1.
However, Klopp learned from last season’s match in Round 36 and from the Charity Shield match in the current season opener; And he decided to play Bertam High throughout the match and put pressure on the artillery players as he armed the attack to extract the ball and aim for Bernd Leno’s goal, as long as his players repeated the threat to Arsenal’s goal, regardless of the occasions that lost.
Arteta prefers to build the attack from behind with the return of the three-core defense to the penalty area with Lino, the two focal points returning to the back with the backs of the flank until the ball graduates to the rival goal.
But Klopp denied it.
Here, Sadio Mane presses Lino inside the penalty area; Move on to David Luiz, whom Salah prepares to approach. Arteta’s instructions were clear to the players not to send longitudinals despite being under pressure.
Salah’s pressure caused Louise to miss a pass, to reach Trent Alexander-Arnold and not Maitland Nails.
Arnold extracted the ball and passed it to Nabi Keita, who gave Jenny Wijnaldum a layup pass out of control, but her shot was not dangerous.
The above example not only deprived Arsenal of the ball, it caused them to lose in a dangerous area and led to an opportunity Liverpool missed, while the following example illustrates another idea that Arteta wanted to implement in the kickoff .
Here Lino passes Luis again stationed next to him, under pressure from the Liverpool players, as if it were a man-to-man oversight.
Luiz, in turn, passed Kieran Tierney on the left side, but when Salah pressed him, the Scotsman sent a long ball that did not find any of the Arsenal players.
.
And because we do not show all the cases in which the pressure from Liverpool was successful; We will clarify the places of its effectiveness in pictures.
It was from these places that the Arsenal players (in blue) lost the ball in their midfield.
It was from these places that the Liverpool players (in orange) took the ball.
As for the passes of the Arsenal players (390 passes), they further explain Arteta’s idea of his desire to build the game from behind and not send long balls, and also explain the effectiveness of Liverpool’s pressure.
Also, the average position of the players in the middle of the field.
For this defensive conglomerate, Klopp was more reliant on making the play from the right wing as the map shows and through Arnold’s cross balls and Salah’s penetrating ability, as happened on the first ball on goal.
In his interview with “Atlético” Andrew Robertson talked about how he played as a left back with Klopp, and how he took advantage of opportunities during the game to be better in all aspects, what happened on the second ball on goal.
Arteta’s strict individual control of the Liverpool players during their search for the goal does not result in gaps, but sometimes we find an Arsenal duo over a Reds player, but Robertson has managed to crack this code.
The Scottish full-back took advantage of Willian’s lack to return (with the red arrow) with him to perform defensive duty, and advanced to the penalty area and asked Arnold to send a cross and take advantage of the Arsenal players’ concern to monitor Liverpool players.
Then he gets into position to score, and in front of the goal Robertson is unmistakable.
It was Liverpool. And the Arsenal?
Despite fierce pressure and Liverpool’s success in most cases, the cases in which Arsenal managed to get past it created dangerous opportunities in Alison’s goal.
Arsenal’s only goal, and although it came from a Robertson error in the dispersion of the ball, it reflects Arteta’s success in his idea if it is implemented.
Here Lino begins the attack by passing Lewis, who asks Maitland Nils to come over to collect his pass.
Nils passes Turnie free of censorship on the left. A pass designed to attract Liverpool players.
The withdrawal of the Liverpool players continues, with Terney’s pass through Pierre Emerke Aubameyang. Then an unmarked Granit Xhaka pass, who in turn sends a pass that breaks Liverpool’s lines to Alexander Lacazette.
Turney’s pass to Aubameyang pushed Arnold forward into control of Gabon, creating a space in which Maitland Nails would launch to receive the long-awaited pass from Lacazette. What has happened.
Despite Maitland’s misbehavior, he stopped the series of soft passes, but the attack ended with a Kickoff goal to reward Arsenal for relieving pressure from Liverpool.
With Liverpool falling in the second half for a while, Arsenal did not find it difficult or the need to pass 5-6 times to get out of the penalty area because the Reds were bet in midfield with a reduction of the spaces between lines; But the poor positioning of the Liverpool defense almost cost them dearly.
Twice, Willian and then Danny Ceballos sent a delightful pass from midfield to Alison’s goal; Liverpool’s streaks were right, but Lacazette’s recklessness prevented Arsenal from conceding the tie.
This is Willian.
I want the man Sebasti .n.
Small details almost made Arsenal draw, at least, but due to the poor implementation of Arteta’s ideas and the French forward’s poor shot on goal, the gunners did not score a single point.
As for the Liverpool players, they continued to attack fiercely, pressing hard and implementing what Klopp wanted until they achieved victory.
