Football’s First Defender

When Yang Feng held his wedding, Rodgers had officially resigned from Swansea after the end of the Premier League season, took over the coach from Dalglish, and entered Anfield!

For Rodgers, who has just arrived, he is destined to not have too many vacations this summer.

The management of the Fenway Group has given Rogers a large part of the power to let Rogers go in the transfer market to acquire players that are more in line with his future tactical system, as well as streamline and cleanse the existing players.

Of course, the Liverpool executives relayed Dalglish's suggestion to retain Suarez, Gerrard, Henderson and Yang Feng on the team's existing central axis to Rodgers.

For Rogers, when he decided to take over Liverpool, Rogers had a detailed understanding of Liverpool's current lineup reserves.

Rogers is also very optimistic about the group of young people who have become the main force of the team except Gerrard.

And Gerrard is the banner of Liverpool, as the captain of Liverpool on the field. Although Rogers is worried about Gerrard's game state and whether his physical fitness can keep up with the team's new tactics, Gerrard is definitely Liverpool. It is an inevitable choice. Regarding this point, Rogers knows that no matter how much power the management gives him, it cannot be changed.

Of course, for a pure Liverpool person, he is still very eager for honor at the core, and Rogers also believes that Gerrard's professional attitude will not have any problems.

For Liverpool's love, Rogers believes that Gerrard must be much deeper than himself.

Although the European Cup opened after a short break of one or two weeks in the major leagues, many outstanding European players have struggled to express themselves in this cup.

In each cup competition, good stars will emerge, and they will further increase their social status by gaining attention in the cup competition.

However, Rogers from the small club Swansea, even if the team gave a part of the budget, did not spend a lot of money to buy and buy in the transfer market.

Rogers did not directly buy veterans who have already made a name and proved themselves in the transfer market.

Instead, take the initiative to choose some younger players who are still malleable, and use their vitality and desire for honor to contribute to Liverpool's future.

The European Cup is in full swing, but for those players who do not have the task of the European Cup, there is naturally no possibility of taking the opportunity to increase their value.

In Rodgers' first week as Liverpool coach, he compiled a list of available signings and the possibility of the team wanting to purge players in the future.

The reason why Dalglish ended his coaching career early, left Liverpool by resignation, and gave up the coaching position to Rodgers is to improve the team's current tactical layout.

Rogers is a coach who clearly focuses on technical genres. Compared with England's traditional long pass and cross from the wing, Rogers' first step in Liverpool's transformation is to strengthen the team's ability to control the ball.

The most important thing about the technical flow of play is that the team can control the ball. For this reason, Rogers has decided to abandon most of the players who lack technical ability to support the team.

The signings and the purge of players are all during Liverpool's offseason, and the transfer department is responsible.

While buying a player still requires negotiation skills and lowering the offer, Rogers has done a good job in the first step of cleaning up the players.

Dedicated to Liverpool for many years, Veteran Dirk Dirk, because of his own state decline due to age, Dirk chose to leave to make more room for Liverpool's salary space.

The low-cost transfer of Dirk to the Turkish Super League team is Liverpool's first-hand action for the new season.

Spearing, who had a good performance last season, chose to let go after Rogers' entanglement and loaned him to Bolton in the British Championship.

Although Spearing performed well last season by using active running and pressing in the final stage, the problem of his poor footwork also limits his embarrassment in Liverpool's technical football reform in the future.

Of course, Rogers didn't want to completely give up this active midfielder who was trained by Liverpool's youth training, so he was only on loan rather than sold to Bolton.

Rogers hopes that Spilling can get enough playing time in the new team, so that he can accumulate more game experience, sharpen his football skills, and prepare for returning to Liverpool.

In the case of constant cleaning of players, Liverpool's signing work, of course, also dare not be careless.

The first signing Liverpool made was to bring Rodgers' direct player in Swansea, midfielder Joe Allen, to Anfield for 15 million pounds.

In view of Liverpool's current lack of midfield control ability, Rogers' acquisition targets will originally be mainly midfielders.

Joe Allen was successfully considered by Swansea for the sake of the transfer fee. After he was released, Liverpool's midfield strength has increased to a certain extent.

And the players' departure is still going on. After Dirk Drivet chose to transfer and leave because of his age, other veterans will naturally not be able to win the attention of Rogers, who intends to promote the youth storm.

Bellamy and Maxi have received clear instructions from Rodgers that they are not in the team's plan for next season.

Bellamy, who still feels that he can still play his spare heat, chose to join Cardiff City at a low price.

As for Maxi, after many years of traveling in Europe, he returned to his native Argentina at the age of more than 30, joined the Old Boys team, and continued to work hard in the professional arena.

Perhaps the most tangled thing about Rogers today is Carroll's position.

Rogers, who wants to implement technical reforms, naturally cannot tolerate the very traditional center Carroll who only grabs points with headers.

But firstly, Carroll's worth is too high, making Liverpool unwilling to let 35 million pounds have been sitting on the bench.

Secondly, as one of the best high strikers in English football today, the presence of Carroll also allows Rogers to occasionally try simple high-altitude bombing when the team urgently needs to score goals.

In the end, after some ideological struggle, Carroll was still retained by Rogers, but in order to implement his own offensive ideas, Rogers bought more systematic offensive players on the offensive end.

In order to form his own tactics, Rogers deliberately went to Italy to buy Roma striker Borini.

And from Real Madrid, he was directly loaned to Shaheen, who did not perform well last season.

In the end, they each spent 2 million pounds to buy two young players in the midfield and frontcourt to "scratch the lottery ticket"

A camp made of iron, soldiers of flowing water.

When Rogers took office, he carried out appropriate transformation and upgrading of the team lineup during the offseason. As for whether Rogers' tactical ideas can be achieved, it will have to wait for the new season to test.
