Playing below standards! Carragher explains why Liverpool’s form fell 4-1 to Napoli in the Champions League game.
Ex-Liverpool star Jamie Carragher analyzes pictures of the game at his former club. Must break into a shock defeat to the Napoli team in a score of up to 4-1, which Carragher believes. The Reds’ pressing looks below average. That is the main factor in Liverpool’s poor performance in recent games.
For the UEFA Champions League match in the first group stage where Liverpool have to visit Napoli’s Diego Armando Maradona, the home team defeated as many as 4 goals from Piotr. Zelinski, who owns two goals, Franck Zambo and from Giovanni Simeone, which the visiting team Only got one goal from Luis Diaz’s offensive line.
In this game, Napoli can deal with Liverpool’s defence with fists. In which, in the past, these players of the Reds team have been criticized. The poor performance since the start of the season, which Carragher serves as an analyst and former quarterback. It has been revealed that now Liverpool seem to lack cohesion. and fearlessly pressing games against their opponents.
Carragher said through the CSB: “We said in the pre-game session that to push the support line up It will be a problem for Liverpool as their team don’t seem to be able to play hard pressing games. For me at the moment, Liverpool is a team that plays with high risks. But they did not put pressure on the ball. to stop that risk at all. which causes them to encounter problems.”
“The problem is not that How high must the support line be? But it’s about cohesiveness. and playing together But when someone of the opposing team has the ball We often think that breaking through the middle of Liverpool’s midfield would be easy for sure, but it’s never happened before. They were able to push the back plan higher. But things like this shouldn’t happen. They will have to adapt to cope with reality.”
“A lot of people criticize me because Liverpool are a great team and what they do. It made them a great success. But all I’m saying is Want them to back five yards, I’m not telling them. You have to go back 10,15 or 20 yards.”
“But what I’m saying is when the ball is with the opponent They are about to start kicking the ball in front of you. And the best thing to do is be ready to step back. And if they don’t kick you It’s just maybe two yards back and then you’re back in the same line.”
“It’s a shame. Because it really feels that way. It’s a small thing, but now it’s a problem for Liverpool. which it means Opponents will not be able to raise their head to pass the ball at all. So they should always be cohesive, and there will always be risks. But what if the team no longer has the power to play pressing games? So the back four should learn to adapt.”
“If they continue to play like this They will face big problems for the Premier League. this season for sure And including going through to the next round of the Champions League.”
