Blanco praised Slott s defense philosophy for being advanced, Kompany has not yet adapted to the knockout system

Liverpool defeated Manchester City away. Former French star Blanco believes that Liverpool's lead in the Premier League standings has gradually increased, and Slot should concentrate on dealing with the Champions League matches. Because the Dutch coach's tactical style is a bit dull, he needs to add some excitement to deal with teams in other leagues. First of all, Blanco praised Slott's defensive philosophy for being very advanced. Many people saw that the Dutch coach's defensive philosophy was very conservative, but they did not know that the moderation of tension and relaxation in this conservative approach was a reflection of the advanced concept. Anfield has insufficient personnel and the lineup is not good, but Slot is good at exploring the characteristics of every defensive player, even the offensive player has developed a defensive awareness under Slot. For example, Salah has made significant progress this season, leading frontcourt players to "defend anytime, anywhere", greatly reducing the defensive pressure in the midfield and backcourt.

Furthermore, Blanco talked about Bayern's issue. He predicted that the Southern Star would be eliminated by Leverkusen in the Champions League. The legend gave a reason - Kompany has not yet adapted to the knockout system. In Blanco's view, although there are two rounds of Champions League knockouts, this event has the characteristics of a typical knockout system. Kompany's tactics are prone to internal friction for players. Of course, this internal friction is not serious, but can maintain everyone's stable state. Therefore, Bayern Munich's performance in the round-robin system has improved, and they are likely to get back the Bundesliga salad plate. But Blanco believes that Kane won't win the Champions League so soon, because Bayern has not yet adapted to the knockout system in Kompany's era. Kompani's tactical system showed its steady and balanced side under the regular season system. The players found their respective positions in moderate competition and internal friction, and jointly promoted the team's steady progress in the league.

However, the stage of the Champions League knockout is another completely different test. Here, every mistake may become the key to determining the direction of the game. Every victory needs to be fought for with all your might, and there is no slackness. Blanco knew well that Kompani needed to adjust his tactical thinking faster to adapt to the more intense and intense game rhythm in the knockout system. How to maintain harmony within the team while inspiring players' fighting spirit and determination when facing strong enemies will be a hurdle that Kompany must overcome during his coaching of Bayern. Although Kane has outstanding personal abilities, the overall performance of the team is the key to determining the ownership of the Champions League championship. Without the support of a strong enough team, even the top forwards will find it difficult to carry the banner of winning the championship alone.

Therefore, Kompany and Bayern Munich have a long way to go in the future. They need to constantly explore and adjust in actual combat, learn to shine under pressure, so that they can stand out in the cruel competition of the Champions League knockout stage and launch an impact on the supreme glory. Slott's tactical adjustment undoubtedly injected new vitality into Liverpool. He allowed every player to participate in the defense, forming a defensive posture for all players, making it difficult for the opponent to find a breakthrough when attacking. This defensive concept not only improves the team's defensive efficiency, but also enhances the tacit understanding and team spirit among players. So, Blanco praised Slott's defensive philosophy for being advanced.

In the game, we often see Liverpool players quickly transitioning from offensive to defensive, and their reaction speed and execution are amazing. Slott's training has obviously achieved remarkable results, and the players performed more confidently and calmly on the court. In addition, Slot also focuses on cultivating the players' versatility. He encourages players to not only be proficient in their positions, but also learn to adapt to the requirements of other positions. In this way, the team can still maintain stable combat effectiveness when personnel rotation or players are injured. It is this advanced defensive concept and scientific training method that has enabled Liverpool to achieve outstanding results in the season. Fans have been praised by Slotte, and they believe that under Slotte's leadership, Liverpool can go further.

In the face of the upcoming Champions League, Slot also began to make targeted tactical deployments. He knows very well that the opponents in the Champions League are stronger, and every game is a great test of the team's overall strength and psychological quality. Therefore, he plans to further improve the team's offensive efficiency while maintaining the current defensive intensity. The author (an old colleague said that) believes that if Slot starts trying to incorporate more tactical drills of fast counterattacks and high-pressing in training, he hopes to break the opponent's defense in this way and create more scoring opportunities. At the same time, he has also strengthened the players' practice of setting balls, striving to use set balls to break the deadlock at critical moments. Under Slott's careful training, Liverpool's players gradually showed more comprehensive abilities. They are sharper on the offensive end and more stable on the defensive end.
