How Liverpool Setup Under Ruben Amorim.

Forget poor Alonzo, now is the time for Ruben Amarim to be the favorite for the Liverpool job, but how would he prepare well? This is the formation it would be set up with, but who would be the staff and would Ruben Amarim take charge of the Premier League? If he became Liverpool manager, I'll be honest with you, I thought Alonzo was the obvious guy, but Amarim fits the bill in a number of different ways and we'll show you exactly why that is and, more importantly, who he is, so that Rubén Amarín plays. with a 343 he has always played with a 343 which may sound similar to Alonzo's 3421.

Of course, we made a video about it which worked very well, but it's only similar in name, in fact I think the Amarin

setup

is potentially much more suitable for the current one. crop of Liverpool players and we will show you why in this video the 343 has qualities that are rare in football today. One of the key parts is the mobility of the defenders. Amarim loves having two wide centre-backs who have athletic ISM and quality in possession, but the defenders' roles when they have the ball is what makes him super fascinating in my opinion. Now look at this, Liverpool fans.

I think you are going to be blown away when it comes to This is because it is very Liverpool the way the Amarim organize from the back, so if I show you this image it is a sports game against Boa Vista, it is a game in the that they would see three defenders at the back, nice and deep, ready to pick up the ball. The ball comes out of the goalkeeper, but here it's a little different because B Vista doesn't play ball and the reason you want these three players at the back is so you can bait the press a little, lift players up and create space behind. simple but what's different about amarim is that they have a different way of doing it if you play against bo Vista's side that doesn't really want to be bothered by the press let me show you an example of that quickly because if we move This is a game Different, of course, against Atlanta, this is exactly that type of game.

You have the Israel goalkeeper here, of course, in yellow and you have your two central defenders ready to come and get him, but you have an Atlanta team that is ready to attack, does not want to allow any of those short passes, so what They do well? They don't get complicated, they will play long, they have gueris up front, they will play that. long pass towards him and that's fine, that's something Amarim isn't afraid of, it's about being vertical at the right moments and the important thing when you have an opponent who is going to press high like that is the fact that there will be Tons of space that you can see right here, this amount of space is not something you would see in a game against a low block and this is something that good teams in one on one matchups will do very well with.

And then in this, the goalkeeper Israel hits Gueras and with Gueras being that physical striker, this has worked very, very well this season and the second balls are often won by the team, plus Arim likes this because when the teams initiate the pressure, they often move backwards. The role of sporting midfielders is also crucial in all of this, which brings us back to the second reason why central defenders dive deep to receive the ball, so if we go back to that initial freeze frame, we can see that the Boa Vista team doesn't mind that they don't get involved and the reason they don't get involved is that they want to stop the initial pass from this back line towards the double pivot and that's why they have players here that are looking to stop that pass . on these players here to of course leave a lot of space, as you can see here, for the centre-backs to progress the ball positively and affect the game and actually prevent their central midfielders together, this is where the aspect of Liverpool is starting to become visible and we need to take a look at Sebastian, that's right Sebastian of course who is a former Liverpool player and this is where the synergy between the role of Quartz and Virgil Van djk also comes into play because Virgin .

Van Di will love to play this role if Amarim comes through the door, so if we move him a little bit, of course there is a lot of space, but that space is positively attacked by the sporting side and, as you see, he moves up Of course, while Quz can sometimes play short to his central defense partner or vertically in midfield. There is an aspect of his game that is a great strength for the sport as a team. The long balls he has in possession here and what you can see is that he's obviously looking. to see what's available to him and he's ready to play that long pass and this is something you often see with Liverpool's proactive runs and I was thinking about this the other day, Salah actually made a run that Mallister played the last two in the game. against Brighton recently and I was thinking about it.

He was thinking that if you don't make the run there is no way for the ball to pass so you can applaud the pass and you have to have the ability to play that pass but without the proactive runs. With these players you don't get the pass, you don't get the chance and it's that proactivity that I think Liverpool fans would obviously love with that mentality that we've seen with the young Klopper in the past and of course he also has a side very high up, so a lot of players very, very high up against this Bo Vista defensive line and he's looking and he's ready to play that pass and if we move him to one more, you can see exactly that pass is made and then all of a sudden , you have four against three.

I'll circle them here one, two, three and the sport has been very happy about this, so do you bait the press and play and they can do that or do you play it? long with high quality center backs who play long passes, yes you can do that and Liverpool could do it too. I must reiterate that this type of proactive and aggressive attacking play is an identity that Liverpool have seized upon clop and something that Amarim would perpetuate. it all comes from the quartz role which is perfect for Virgil Van djk Virg vanik completes around 7.18 long balls per 90 which is in the top 10% in the top five leagues and has made those long game shifts one Of his signature moves in the Premier League alongside Quarz we have Diamond and Kesma who are two athletically talented defenders who have brilliant recovery speed.

The interesting thing about those two defenders is that Liverpool have two similar defenders who meet those requirements very, very well. One has come into form of late in Joe. Gómez, the other one, is white-haired and, firstly, white-haired, as a right-sided central defender, I think he would fit brilliantly there in terms of having that speed and, secondly, Gómez, obviously, they would both move a little bit time, especially. when they have the ball, I'll push him up a little bit, his attributes are actually super Well suited, more suited than, um, you know, Alonzo's idea that was proposed when you know copy and paste it a little bit, which of Of course, it's a little reductive, but I think with Amarim it's a little less so because he's pretty trained in how he wants to play and while Virgil will be tasked with being the progress, I think that's what it would look like in the back if you were.

It is not necessary to add players in both positions and I think that in particular with Cañate you would not do that. Joe Gomez looks like he's in a great place and I think he deserves the opportunity, but it could be an area you could look to strengthen. over time transfers happen, I don't know, the next thing we'll have to talk about is the double pivot and I think this is where some shocks may start to reveal themselves. The important thing to remember about the amarim double pivot is that there is a duality in the way they play and at the same time they have a telepathic synergy between them.

On the one hand, you have Morton Hulman in midfield, who is a natural defensive midfielder. He rarely leaves the central areas of the pitch but is often accompanied by Hiasa Marita who is more of a diminutive high touch midfielder with a similar quality to what I know as Bernardo Silva in the way he likes to travel with the ball, but the beauty of having these profiles is how well they work together. Here is a perfect example of how it works. Amar has fun So, in this passage of the game you have Morita and you have Hilman, now Marita plays, she offloads the ball to hund, but hund is static, he stays where he is and provides a kind of screen on the SL board to Morita. who takes the ball and makes a little movement by himself, if we move it, you can see that little pass and it takes two players out of the game and I think the following passage of the game shows how they interpret space in terms of absorbing players and then attack that space between them because if we move it one more you can see exactly what happens, come back once again from that point creating that little screen that works together as a double pivot there. but then having someone like Morita to bring into that area that tiny player who can break the lines and affect the game and then from there you are on your way and again you have a team that wants to break wants to run forward wants to attack the space and also it's got those recoveries which we'll get to of course so it's that great combination where the sport can be neat and orderly but also classify the weak players and then break away and be direct and target the spaces behind. once they are able to break behind those lines and create those lines, they almost absorb the opponent as well, so when it comes to Liverpool, I think there are two players who fit the mold of Fulman and Morita perfectly and maybe some people are not.

You're not going to agree with me, but remember this is all about profiles, so now I'd start with Endo as that buzzy guy and go with Mallister as that tiny player we gave you all the hints on, right? Ando aligns perfectly with him. human in terms of having positional awareness to remain central, while Mallister is best when he ties things together in the middle and also has the freedom to break lines. Marita's role often means she runs all over the pitch and is able to facilitate the build-up and Mallister would be no stranger to that and I think he would enjoy it and I think it would be the next stage in McAllister's development into becoming a class player. world in a role that would suit him perfectly because he is not a six, he is not an eight, he is not a 10, sometimes he is a little of everything, so allowing him to go and be that, but also work in these deep waters, I think it would be something that would be really useful for him and for Liverpool, let's talk. full-backs because if you remember correctly there was actually a problem with Alonzo's full-backs and how they related to Liverpool's full-backs and how they related to the system, but this is still a problem in this system, although well, Amarim has done some adjustments to your system.

This year, some overlook him because of what I saw last season, for example, he went to midfield when he was preparing the game while Marita opened up and the full-back stayed. High sports have done it a few times this season, but not as In fact, often this is the exact

setup

when it comes to sports most of the season and it's a 325 because as you can see and you can't even see, It's under it, we have a wing down here, we have another wing. Back here and they're so tall, the problem with Alonzo's set-up and how Liverpool's full-backs interacted with them was that the skills didn't exactly match up, however there's good reason to believe that Robertson and Trent are actually very good prepared for these roles. and this is how in the important games this season, amarim has played matus ree as a left back and naturally he is a centre-back, this is usually to add physicality and defensive security to the back line, but in Robertson, the Liverpool got a player who is equally good defensively and offensively, meaning his role would be as a full-back, you know, remember them as a more old school defensive full-back or similar to a full-back, which we obviously know is very natural, Meanwhile, Trent will likely be given that license to stay as high as possible, so if you think Trent's attacking numbers would have been good in recent years, they're about to go up a notch and he could go back to the same feeling at least as in the day when you had these Two bombardments when receiving crosses also because the full-backs are the crucial element when it comes to the width of an Amarin side.

Next we will show you how Ruben Amarin will evolve into mosalah in his front three setup and this heat map is I will show you why Muhammad Salah could be unstoppable in this role so for those wondering this is the heat map of Marcus Edwards this season, the centrality of his game is what makes him perfect for Salah, an aging Salah, and that is not the case. Go like him, we are all getting older and he is getting older and the role of him evolving is not a bad idea. I like it, it works, it could lead to greater longevity for the lad now that Trent occupies the wide area and allows Salah to play. in the middle of Space Channel and that's exactly where he's at his best, let me show you exactly what it looks like, so thisIt's exactly what we expect the front three to look like when it comes to playing quite narrowly in their game, but you have players who are capable of going further and that's why when we talk about Salah's role, we have to talk about Marcus Edwood. here and what is crucial when it comes to his positioning for Marcus Edws is his ability to go further, but actually, that position being narrow, let me just make it clear for you because instead of here and out and if he was Outside the defender's position would be different, the defender would probably be here, he could just keep an eye on him but he would be able to maintain his position and he would feel much more comfortable, but because of that, he would be more central.

The position of Marcus Edwards, who is here, is really uncomfortable for the defender, who has to come and get involved just in case he doesn't want to get caught and therefore he can get caught in the opposite direction because Marcus Edwards is a little bit more narrow. and therefore closer to Gueras, the other centre-forward and if we move him forward we can see exactly what happens, the ball then enters that space and is uncomfortable for the defender, Marcus Edwards eats him alive and makes that deadly run and Imagine that, imagine Moella doing exactly that with all that space to take out a man and more importantly you know the weight balance of that fullback being all over the place in a High Tempo attacking team, we move him to one more and he can continue. he beats his man and shoots and actually scores with that shot, so imagine Muhammad Salah doing this.

I mean, he's already unstoppable, but it would add a new layer to that unstoppable ability, a lot of bees and piss on that, so while we play. In the gu video he sometimes stays central to hold the ball but he can also target the channels and being able to execute the channels is crucial in this case of course for Darwin Nunes and this is where he gets fried in terms of executing those channels and his willingness to do that is exactly the type of career Keras likes to do and has seen him score goals for fun but also lay out opportunities on a plate for his teammates.

Nunes' attributes line up perfectly. I can't emphasize that. So much so I started. stutter and will no doubt be a key player for him if he comes and becomes Liverpool manager but there is one role within this team that we have yet to address and that is Pedro González's role now for those of you who don't know. González, is a playmaker who can play on the left or even in central midfield, while Gonalves is excellent at scoring goals, he thrives more in the chance creation department and this moment here offers valuable insight into exactly this because a He will often make a different type of move, you know, we've talked about those players who will look to go in that direction, let me get rid of that direction, but he will make those moves that are synonymous with a 10 while the striker does the reverse run and allows him creating a lot of opportunities by working in I would say this area here makes it a little big here, but the same in those little spaces in between, but what that allows you to do is grab the ball and do whatever.

He plays brilliantly in those races and you have a runner willing to go get them and he often beats his man. Sales have created a lot of opportunities this season by doing exactly this, especially having that running back like I have. he said and there is one Liverpool player who will thrive in this role, of course, it has to be Dominic Saoos, but what I have to say is that when you look at the rest of the team, there are other players, say Bradley for example. you didn't have Alexander Arnold, these things happen well, I think he could be a willing runner, he could probably play one of these two if he's technically good enough to do so, maybe not with the secondary roll, but the roll is more likely of Salah, I think so.

I might enjoy having someone like Diaz come instead of Sabosa. I think he could do a really good job there too, maybe even Harvey Elliot could do that job too in terms of going deeper. Btic could be a very good option in terms of, you know. Is he the next Endo? Maybe not, maybe it's a bit of a hybrid between the two, but also in terms of mallister and a different option for him, you also have someone like Curtis Jones, in terms of player profiles. I would have to go in, it feels much more comfortable, the ceiling is so high, I don't know and I'm worried about the difficulty of whoever gets in, but what I also like is the man himself, he's clearly a kind of tactile guy, a emotional guy with great emotional intelligence and I think that is really something very important for any Liverpool manager and it is something that will allow a kind of general emotional dialogue that is really very important.

I think Alonzo is a little cooler on the road. that he behaves, but with this setup I have no doubt that these three forwards could score between 60 and 70 goals because he is softly aligned or very strongly aligned with Jurgen Klopp and how he has played and, in particular, the roles that will perform. perfect for each and every one of them, as I've shown you, and Trent May also picked up 20 assists in the process. I think it will be interesting to see his role if he looks to stop, you know, the midfield intervenes. This happened in the last six to 12 months and more importantly, if you want to know how Amarim turned Gueras into one of the most feared forwards in Europe, make sure you click on this video because Nunes could end up doing exactly the same .
