He was considered a good coach, probably in the top 10, but he was not yet a superstar. He played for mine as a player before retiring and becoming his coach. He had his ups and downs with the leading club. They were promoted in 2004 before being relegated in 2007, he then became coach of Dortmund and led them to two league titles in 2011 and 2012, but in 2015 Dortmund had a disastrous season in which, although they finished seventh and with one point , fought against relegation and left the club. and soon became Liverpool manager, it was suggested that he bring his Gagan style of pressing football to the club and yes he has done that but he has also brought much more to the table.

Now we will see how he

transformed

the club season after season, analyzing the tactical changes of the personnel. The changes, as well as the psychological changes that began in 2013-14, the year of Liverpool's recent glimpse under Rajas, during this season, Rodgers generally played a 4-3-3 with the most used players, as shown Often during games, Sterling would withdraw allowing storage and Suarez. Both played centrally, Rodgers played a fluid attacking style which was led by a front three which saw them score over 100, of course they lost by two points to Man City in the end but an important theme developed which would play the Liverpool for years. 50 goals in the season, which was the second worst and top 8, this is the theme for some years for Liverpool of great attack and poor defense, although they changed the formation, the shape of their back and midfield three was relatively stable allowing a platform. for fluid forwards, but then in 2014-15 the team found problems with Rogers in his last full season and in this season we see many of the problems that the Club would immediately try to rectify in this season.

Rodgers wasn't sure how to play to compensate. the loss of Suárez and as a result he changed formation sporadically between 343, 4-2-3-1, 433 and many more, which created uncertainty within the team's ranks, his personnel also did not adapt to his formation more used, praying for players out of his preferred position having lost Warriors to Barcelona, ​​the attempt to replace him resulted in 10 players bought for 117 million failing to close the gap this season, only scoring 51 goals and conceding 48, At the same time, their position statistics dropped from the previous season, as well as 54%, as they played in the midfield to loosen control of the matches, suffered from their deficiencies both in defense and in the goal area, as who conceded 10 more goals than they expected.

The goals were scored in 2015. 16 Rogers was fired in the middle of the season with a club in tenth place and Klopp came in. Klopp had a good impact and took them to the Europa League final, where they lost to Sevilla, but we will not analyze too much the

tactics

of his first season because he had only had half a season to implement his changes, but in the transfer window he already He began making changes to his roster to mold it the way he wanted. He got rid of five first team players, Abe Allen Benteke and Luis Alberto, to take the team in the direction it needed and in his first summer window he brought in every man Carius lat tip Clavin and although Adam and three of these are successes Undoubtedly, he showed his teeth and this ruthless streak with transfers would continue in 2016. 17 we began to fully seed the club's philosophy during his first full season, as he improved them in almost every area.

The first thing he did was give his team a system they could adhere to so that each player knew exactly what their role was. and reduce psychological uncertainty during matches, as a result, they performed better as a unit and were there for less thanks to their individual brilliance. They played a 4-3-3 in 35 of their 38 games, which contrasts with the cuts and switches of Rogers and Claude. brought his vision of Gagan to the fore in this season and they finished fourth, but accumulated many more points than Rogers in losing the entire season, but the important thing was Rogers' undoubted improvement in his final season when the club brought their fluid attacking play and they had more possession. more goals in favor Fewer goals against more shots in favor and fewer shots against, what this statistical story tells, they even reached better attacking positions where more centers in favor reduced the centers against, however, the club team wasn't exactly where I needed it to be, they outperformed their rivals. ex G and expected goals conceded, which was the second most among the top six, meaning that the expected points actually saw them finish fifth rather than fourth, this would have been an indicator to Klopp that the job was far from being finished and they had to improve and that is exactly what the club did heading into the following season, starting with their transfers, the club began to trim the squad to suit their vision, getting rid of Wisdom Leyva Steward and Sacko , Sala Solanki Robertson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain came in, three of whom were The undoubted successes with the team now accustomed to the 4-3-3 club began to introduce variations in the team's

tactics

, they still played with a high-pressing game pace, mainly with four defenders, however, the front six could also adapt depending on the game they played.

It could be a 4-3-3 to stretch the defenses, a 4-2-3-1 to maintain possession or even a 4-4-2 to isolate the center backs in this season that began to convert Salah from the beginning. . The big factors for this turnaround were the form of Salah making his finished second, the drop may have occurred as they chose to focus on the Champions League towards the Champions League. In the second half of the season, he made the team play his way and they fought their way to the final with Ike providing new solidity at the base of the defense that they ultimately lost in the final and yet many wondered if Their best moment had surpassed them as a club.

I was determined that wouldn't be the case. He saw Katina and Emery Chan, who are the biggest losses, but he also trimmed the team's fat, getting rid of Ward Flanagan and Clavin showing a ruthless streak. His incoming transfers were tied in B no kata. Shakira and Allison were Alexander Arnold became crucial each transfer strengthened the team and the team and the club's ideology was now firmly in place and the most important change in this season, apart from the personnel, was the tactical psychological pop, he realized that the team would need more dynamic flexibility with In its tactics to challenge the bigger teams in Europe, it still mainly used a 4-3-3, but often for minor drops and the wingers cut in to make it look like a 4-4 diamond -2, so the extremes were really just extremes. paper, meaning it was actually a 442, plus now Marnie was able to pay up front, making it difficult for defenders to keep track of which of the three forwards was the biggest danger this season, the club also used more runners from midfield to overload the box as they attempted crosses with Robertson and Alexander Arnold providing the service allowing Marnie and Saleh to be much more central, this resulted in them scoring 97 points and although they exceeded their expected points due to the defense led by Allison and Van Dyke.

Conceding 7 fewer goals than expected, while their attackers scored an extra 10 goals, it has been their best season on paper since the club took over, as their possession increased and their home record strengthened, their goals scored increased and Kohl's conceded less each season. The clock and this defensive solidity were demonstrated when the opponents obtained fewer attacking positions against Liverpool and our components tried to cross down this season in an attempt to keep their team on top throughout the season. In fact, it has reduced the amount of pressing the team does. In fact, while they can press when necessary, the team now has the intelligence to tactically choose when to press and when to retreat.

This has resulted in Liverpool having their highest positional statistics in the last five years. The psychological element has also improved. by making them function as a team rather than as individuals, making them greater than the sum of their parts, as the Club said that tactical things are very important and you cannot win without tactical things, but emotion sets the tone. difference, so, in summary, the club has reached this position by improving personnel and having more than 11 pairs perfectly adapted to its system, improving its general style of play by increasing the distance traveled on shots from angles, reducing the opponent's attacking threat and also improving the team's mentality.

All these improvements will be enough to see them become European

champions
