Hengers suggests that Wiltz try the position of the second striker, Guardiola s results will rebound

Wilz officially joins Liverpool. Many people think that Slotte's system will be more powerful next season, Anfield will also win the Barclays Cup, and they will also make breakthroughs in the Champions League. However, Premier League reporter Hengers believes that everyone is too optimistic, and it is still unknown whether Wilz can integrate into his new owner, and the tactical structure and intensity of the Premier League are completely different from those of the Bundesliga. Hengers suggested that Wilz try his second striker's position. The "Mc8H" midfield combination has been successful in the past season. Judging from Slot's conservative style, unless these three people have injuries, he will not change the original midfield combination. At least according to the model of the past season, Wilz actually has no fixed position in Liverpool, so he has to try a second striker or other position to give himself more choices in his new boss.

Henggus predicts that the Premier League champion will be "returned" to Manchester City next season. First of all, since the Blue Moon Army entered the process of becoming a giant, they have strong adjustment ability. Since Guardiola chooses to continue coaching the club, then Vegiristan will also sign players based on Guardiola's opinions, and Manchester City's lineup will become stronger again - Guardiola's performance will rebound. Hengers said Manchester City is still the biggest favorite to win the league next season. In this regard, Hengers also cited an example from the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich lost the Bundesliga championship last season. The Southern Star adjusted and the results of this season rebounded. The same situation will also happen to the Blue Moon Army. Moreover, Guardiola is good at summarizing experience from failures, so sooner or later his achievements will rebound, rather than falling deeper into his personal stubbornness like Mourinho.

Hengers' analysis is not unreasonable. Guardiola's coaching career has always been accompanied by a kind of self-correction resilience - after joining Manchester City in his first season in 2016, he immediately responded to doubts with 100 points; after being outraged by Lyon in the 2020 Champions League, he led the team to the finals for the first time the following year. This periodic rebound almost became a footnote to his coaching philosophy, as he emphasized in his autobiography: "Failure is the most honest mirror of the tactical system. "Manchester City's current dilemma is more like the pain of tactical iteration. The waist vacuum exposed when Rodri was absent and the awkward connection between Haaland and the midfield are essentially the necessary stages for Guardiola to try to integrate the "frontless formation" and the "terminator". Referring to his transformation period when Bayern improved "Tiki-Taka" to "winter explosive point + pseudo-nine", he also experienced the darkest moment of a 2014 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid.

Perhaps as Guardiola hung a Catalan proverb in Etihad's office, the storm blew down the oak, but the reed bent down and stood up again. "The dynasty foundation of Manchester City has not shaken, and the temporary low may be brewing a more dominant tactical revolution. When this tactical paranoid starts to study the five-guard system, who can assert that he will not subvert the Premier League’s tactical landscape again? Then Guardiola's record will rebound. Regarding Hengers' suggestion that Wilz try the position of the second striker, some people would say that the management spent more than 100 million euros to introduce the bidding king. How could he let him play a position he is unfamiliar with? Hengers explained that Slott won the Premier League championship in his first season at Anfield and his voice in the club has increased suddenly. Therefore, in terms of lineup arrangements for the new season, the coaching staff will not let the management intervene.

It is precisely because Werz is the benchmark in the transfer market that he must use his skills, so Slot is likely to push him to the front line at that time. The reason why Henggus put forward the positioning requirement of the second striker is that in terms of Wiltz's performance at Leverkusen, he can stand behind the orthodox center, that is, the tandem of the front line and the midfield. Moreover, the position of the second striker will help Wiltz score a goal earlier in his new club, so his confidence can also be greatly improved. Wiltz's adaptability will be the key to his firm foothold in Anfield. This German genius showed amazing tactical plasticity during his time in a pharmaceutical factory - he could not only retreat to the midfield to participate in the organization, but also suddenly forward and complete a fatal blow. This "pseudo-Nine" attribute makes Hengs' suggestion particularly wise.

The author (an old colleague talks about it) believes that Slott's tactical board is undergoing subtle changes. According to the team reporter, during the pre-season training, the coaching team specially practiced the 4-2-2-2 formation, allowing Wirtz and Nunes to form a forward partner. The impact of the Portuguese center can just make up for the shortcomings of the German physical confrontation, while Werz's delicate ball-making ability activates Nunes' speed advantage. This complementary combination first showed its power in the warm-up match against Roma, and Wiltz's two exquisite heel passes directly resulted in a goal. Tactical analysts pointed out that Wilz's second striker positioning is actually the key to the upgrade of Slot's system. When the opponent focuses on Salah, the German suddenly inserted his back can effectively tear the defense line. His cooperation with McAllister's "Little Kuailing" in the ribs is a new issue that has caused trouble for Premier League defenders. And before the start of the season, there is a warm-up match for Slott to observe Wilz's positioning.
