The Reds had the opportunity to test their players against newly promoted Bundesliga sides as they quickly scored two goals from Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota. But again he was hit by the wrong defensive game. However, in the second half, Liverpool got a goal to reinforce the victory from Luis Diaz.
For this match, it looks like Jurgen Klopp will arrange 11 real ones that are expected to be used in the game against “Indigo Blue Lions” and the performance in this game is extremely excellent. especially aggressive game play As for the defensive game, there are still some problems. But it should be tuned soon.
1. Get it fast, get it fast
The highlight of the “Reds” disciples impressed the most is the performance of the team’s offensive game. In this match, they showed aggressive play. and can shoot goals quickly which is very important For the team to prepare before the start of the 2023/2024 season
The coordination of the three offensive lines like Diaz, Cody Kakpo and Salah is considered to be very compatible. And able to manage to tear down Darmstadt’s defensive line, lacking an important point, having Dominic Sobozlai come to play a corner kick makes the team even more useful in attacking opponents.
While Chota and “Bangmo” played well in the moment when they scored the second goal. While the first door and the last door closed Thanks to the contributions of Zobozlai, the corner kick was excellent.
However, the disadvantage of “The Reds” is still the same, that is, the defensive game is played loosely. Especially in the moment that the goal was shot and the egg was broken. It was considered a truly distracting play for the defensive line, allowing Darmstadt to have the opportunity to stab the ball through Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate, and Trent Alexander-R. Noold push check offside error and lead to the net being pierced
Defensive mistakes have been one of Liverpool’s worst weaknesses this summer and Klopp needs to fix that as quickly as possible. Because if you continue to let go like this It will become a chronic wound that is difficult to heal.
2. Mac Allister luxury form
Of course, Liverpool need to sign a defensive midfielder to join the army before the summer transfer market closes, but at least the “Reds” still have some good signs because Alexis. Mac Allister can play in this position. And show the work to be clear why Klopp had to grab him to join the army
Star of the Argentine national football team The 2023 World Cup winning kit runs well to find a position. Keep working to connect the game. and still holds the ball firmly Including intercepting the ball accurately so that opponents cannot play a counterattack And there is also a long shot stroke.
Mac Allister’s outstanding potential is that he can play defensively. and excellent offensive game This was considered missing for Liverpool last season. So getting world champion star Come to strengthen the army, it is considered to completely fill the loophole at this point.
At this event, fans of “The Reds” can expect great performances from Mac Allister, whether playing the role of a playmaker who creates the game. Or can be worn as a player who connects the game from back to front as well
3. The defensive midfielder must have arrived.
Klopp has done the right thing to add to the midfield as the team are struggling in this position with players leaving Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Naby Ke. Ita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
However, the position that the German boss wants most before the transfer window closes on September 1 is the number 6 or defensive midfielder. Because it is one of the blind spots in the middle of “The Reds”
For attacking players in midfield, it must be said that the team is fully equipped with Mac Allister, Sobozlai and Cody Gakpo able to move in. But the defensive midfielder is still unable to find the right shin, even Alexander-Arnold. Will move to play in the middle when “Reds” dominate the game like he played at the end of last season But still not the right person to play the number 6 football.
Therefore, Klopp must give his all to pull Romeo Lavia, a star midfielder from Southampton “Saints”, which is an important jigsaw that will make the Liverpool midfielder strong and ready to duel. with all teams in the new season
4. Diaz returns to good form
When Luis Diaz had to recover from a knee injury, it was a huge blow for Liverpool. So, seeing him return to full fitness in the final pre-season friendly is great news for Kop fans around the world.
For now, I must say that the offensive line of “Reds” is perfect because both Diaz, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Cody Kakpo and Mohamed Salah are here. in strong condition and fully fit, ready to enter the field, everyone
In the case of Diaz, the player is no longer injured. Most importantly, the player also plays well with Mac Allister and Sobozlai, while his individual abilities are outstanding. Especially playing with determination. and a great finish.
All the time the Colombian star On the pitch, he can run for gaps. Keep winning the ball with your teammates. Sometimes, if there is space, they will use their speed and agility to pull away from the opponent’s defense. He also scored sharp goals. The performance of the player in this match confirmed that he has returned to perfection.
5. Ready for battle, Chelsea
Wrapping up pre-season with a win was a great auspicious occasion for Liverpool before they clash at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea in the opening game of the Premier League campaign. English League Sunday August 13
Of course, “Reds” is still not a team that has a perfect playing system at this time. Especially the problem of the defensive game that has not yet been solved. But for the offensive game, it must be said that it is extremely fierce. and always ready to shoot at the opponent
Therefore, in the face of Mauricio Pochettino’s team, whose form is now in place, what “The Reds” have to do is run the offensive play that is their hallmark. he As for the defensive game, try to concentrate. and make as few mistakes as possible!
