76 ers should sell Embiid! The US media listed three reasons: poor team record and serious injury problems.

Since the end of the 2017-18 season, the 76ers have always been a force to be reckoned with in the East. Although they can reach the playoffs every season, under the leadership of Embiid, the 76ers have never been a real champion contender. With Harden choosing to leave the team, the 76ers may need to reconsider whether to trade Embiid, a seemingly unreasonable choice.

In response to this topic, the US media "fadeawayworld" listed three reasons to support the 76ers to trade Embiid, who won the MVP last season.

Reason 1: The injury problem is serious.

It is not difficult to see from winning the MVP last season that when Embiid appeared on the court, he was always a very competitive top star, but the injury problem hindered Embiid’s leadership level, because most of his injuries occurred during the playoffs.

In the past two years alone, Embiid has suffered a series of problems such as torn thumb ligament, orbital fracture and LCL sprain, which made the team unable to succeed in the playoffs.

For any team, whether players can play is the most crucial thing. The Clippers in the past few seasons are the best example. Even with leonard who has won the championship many times and an extremely luxurious lineup, as long as the core players can’t keep healthy, the team can’t compete for the championship at all.

Wei Shao was copied to the bottom?

After Wei Shao left the Lakers, who will become Wei Shao’s catcher? Now that the news has been exposed, it=directly buying out the salary of $780,000 to join the Clippers. The Clippers’ skill is simply to show the bottom-hunting skills to the extreme. Although the Clippers’ record is still stable, as long as the main players don’t get injured collectively, they will be able to enter the playoffs steadily this season and start competing for the championship.

Therefore, from the perspective of honor, Wei Shao has ushered in an opportunity. Many players want to be teammates with pickled peppers and Kawaii. Now that Wei Shao is here, isn’t it just taking off? But personally, I think this is not good news for Wei Shao. The clipper system may not be suitable for him. What Wei Shao is facing now is the most dangerous moment in his whole career.

If he had stayed in the Thunder, he would still be the son of the Thunder. After the Thunder, many young people with potential came, that is, the fighting power was very strong, and the most important thing was to be obedient. Even if Wei Shao joined the Wizards, he can control the ball, and the data is very good. Besides, he is a malicious character who is more excited when he plays. However, after joining the Lakers, his mood changed. James could not hand over the ball, which was seriously incompatible with the team’s tactical system.

This has greatly affected his worth, and also proved that Wei Shao is not Durant, and he can’t play without the ball. The reason why he partnered with Durant in the past was that Durant was able to make sacrifices in ball rights, which Durant also proved after joining the Warriors. But who should I give the ball to when I get to the Clippers? Pickled peppers and Kawaii both need the ball, and this is not a Wei Shao team.

When Anthony, George and others joined the Thunder, they said to Wei Shao, we are here to help you. This is your team, but now it is different. Wei Shao has become an outsider, and times have changed. It didn’t work with pickled peppers before, but now there is a big core Kawaii who holds the ball and attacks. Wei Shao, who doesn’t have the ball, can only choose to play without the ball most of the time. The best situation may be to let Wei Shao play the second lineup as a substitute, which will still affect Wei Shao’s worth.

Unless Wei Shao really shows the offensive and defensive efficiency of killing people on the court, otherwise playing according to the state of being in the Lakers, the high probability is that he will be cut off by the Clippers quickly. Anyway, 780,000 won’t hurt at all. Wei Shao is a player worthy of respect. Just because he wears a Tang suit to support China is enough to show his personal charm. I sincerely hope that he can return to the peak, show his divine power and shine in the playoffs.

300 assists! Messi revenge war ushered in a milestone, and the number one hero of the five major leagues went straight into the sky with a scalpel.

In the game against brest, Mbappé was almost knocked out by retaliatory action, but five minutes later, Mbappé scored a goal!

In the 85th minute, Mbappé kicked Berquet Bula’s calf, and Berquet Bula held Mbappé’s leg in the midfield. It’s hard to understand that Mbappé raised his right foot and lightly kicked each other.

Mbappé’s foul behavior is bad enough, and the subsequent retaliatory behavior is more enough to make him eat red. After the referee showed a yellow card, the video assistant referee made a penalty, but in the end he still felt that Mbappé’s action was not red enough, and Mbappé narrowly escaped.

However, this yellow card may completely annoy Mbappé. In the 90th minute, Messi sent a wonderful pass from the center line. Mbappé made a single shot into the restricted area and pushed it, relying on his own shot to beat brest.

This goal not only won the victory for Paris, but also was the 3,000th goal in the history of the Paris team in Ligue 1, and the 12th team in Ligue 1 to reach this milestone. Paris scored 3,000 goals in 1,858 games, and only Marseille (1,801 games) and saint etienne (1,816 games) were used.

Meanwhile, this is Mbappé’s 40th goal this season, becoming the first French player to score at least 40 goals for four consecutive seasons.

In the 2021-22 season, Mbappé scored 49 goals in double lines, creating a personal single-season goal record. Mbappé still has the possibility to set this record this season.

Whoscored comments on the best lineup of this round of Europa League! Leverkusen Manchester United will be selected with three each, tied for the most.

In the Europa League competition, the first leg of the top 16 of the Europa League was held. In addition to the best eleven lineup in this round, three players from Manchester United and Leverkusen were selected and tied for the most. The three players selected by Leverkusen are all from the backcourt, and the best duo in this round of central defender position is Jonathan Tower and Tapsoba, both of whom are over 1.9 meters tall and have outstanding ability to compete for the top ball at high altitude. Jonathan Tower is 27 years old, while Tapsoba is 24 years old, three years younger than Jonathan Tower. These two are also the main central defenders of the team.

Jonathan Tower is a German player. He has played 31 games for the pharmaceutical factory so far this season, starting as many as 27 games, scoring a goal and getting a yellow card for seven games. In Europe, Jonathan Tower played 6 Champions League games and 3 Europa League games for the team this season, which is the core of the team’s defense. Jonathan Tower has a tough style, is good at pushing forward, and is aggressive in defense. If Jonathan Tower sits in the backcourt, it also makes the fans more defensive. It is obviously not easy for the opponent striker to cross the barrier of Jonathan Tower. Jonathan Tower is not only tall, but also physically antagonistic. As for Tapsoba, the high school defender, the defensive hardness is not inferior to teammate Jonathan Tower.

The Burkina Faso defender came to Leverkusen in the winter of 2020, and previously played in guimaraes, with a transfer fee of 20.2 million euros. So far this season, Tapsoba has only played as a substitute in one game, and started in the other 31 games, scoring two goals and getting four yellow cards. These two high school guards are also quite popular in the transfer market, and many teams are paying close attention to them and intend to dig them out this summer. Bayer Leverkusen also has one person selected, and this person is Hincapie, a left-footed general from Ecuador, playing full-back position. This season is the Ecuador international’s second season in Leverkusen, and now he is also the regular main force of the team.

Since the start of the season, Hincapie has played 28 games for Leverkusen, including 25 starts and 3 substitutes, and scored 1 goal. The assists have not been captured yet. As a full-back, Hincapie’s defensive performance is good, but in this link of assists, it needs to be improved to be a full-back with strong offensive and defensive strength at both ends. Manchester United are also selected by three people, namely Rachford, Bruno Fernandez and Wehorst. In the Europa League match in the middle of the week, all three of them scored goals, which was the hero of the team’s victory. Bruno Fernandez plays an organizational role in Manchester United, which is different from the other two.

Rachford and Wehorst are both frontcourt players, but their roles are different. The former is fast, plays more flanks and has strong scoring ability. As for Wehorst, he is a tall center. Although he didn’t score many goals after joining Manchester United, he played a big role in the team. The existence of Wehorst can make other players at Manchester United’s offensive end play more skillfully, thus producing a good chemical reaction. Wehorst has played 15 games for Manchester United so far, including 8 in the Cup and 7 in the League. Both the FA Cup and the Carling Cup have scored goals, but they haven’t scored in the league on behalf of Manchester United. The Dutch high center hopes to do this as soon as possible.

How did Liverpool’s flower of confidence fade after sweeping Manchester United but losing to Bournemouth?

"In the past five games, we have a stable state in the league, but confidence is like a fragile flower. We must ensure that we maintain this mentality."

At the pre-match press conference, klopp said this when talking about the team’s mentality after winning the big victory over Manchester United last week. He knows very well that not every game is played against Manchester United, and not every game can win seven goals.

However, even in the previous games, Liverpool played a good performance and results, but as we mentioned in the previous tactical observation, the strength of this set of things in Liverpool is doubtful, and beating Manchester United is more like an accident dominated by Manchester United.

The loss to Bournemouth is a good proof.

Compared with last week’s starting line-up, Liverpool made only one personnel change at the starting level, and bajcetic replaced Henderson.

And the tactics of the previous three games are the same. After the opening, Liverpool is still full-back, which greatly supports the offensive end:

Driven by such tactics, Liverpool’s offensive end performed well in the opening stage.

So in recent days, Liverpool’s tactical layout is actually like this (the yellow chess piece is Liverpool):

The full-back pressed on, widened the attack width and wrapped the three strikers into the middle. Jiakebo retreat, and the attack level before and after Nunez and Salah formed. The third middle court and double central defenders guard the backcourt and are responsible for dealing with the defensive problems of punctuality in attack and turn.

Among them, Eliot also has the offensive responsibility of post-insertion, and makes use of its characteristics of being versatile in both sides and middle, forming more rotations and transposition in local positions.

This is actually the basic tactics of Liverpool at its peak. In the period when Manet, Salah and firmino were all extremely powerful, the power of the offensive end was quite amazing. When Van Dyke and Fabinho were young, including Henderson and wijnaldum, they were more sure of the ball right and space coverage.

But now Liverpool’s staff, in fact, can’t hold up this content.

The 9th minute, Bournemouth hit a counterattack:

Although the source of the counterattack was Fabinho and Arnold’s mistakes in handling the ball, in an unexpected situation, Van Dyke’s front-top action was obviously not fast enough, which made Solanke open the angle, and Ouattara, who got the ball, dumped bajcetic and came all the way to the door:

In the 25th minute, Billing directly dropped Elliot in the confrontation, which caused konate’s foul:

Bournemouth’s counterattack in the 36th minute exposed Liverpool’s current problems more thoroughly. When Liverpool got the ball in the backcourt, the positions of the double central defenders and the third middle court were very clear:

As a result, the connection between konate and the frontcourt failed, and Bournemouth directly formed a counterattack on the spot. In the freeze-frame picture, we can clearly see the weak areas of Liverpool at that time:

Unfortunately, Bournemouth didn’t make a good counterattack this time. Like Rachford’s shot last week, Solanke didn’t threaten the door at the centre-back:

Three attacks, Eliot and bajcetic, who were originally responsible for protecting the backcourt instead of full-backs, didn’t work.

Yes, in this tactic, since the full-backs have been entrusted with the important task of forward attack, it is very normal for them to have space behind them when they turn to attack, and it is unreasonable to criticize them for not being able to return to their positions, because at this moment, it is Elliot and bajcetic’s responsibility to help the single central defender and the double central defender cover the space and regain the ball.

No, that’s their problem with klopp.

In fact, not only teenagers can’t do it, but also veterans can’t do it.

In the 20th minute, Bournemouth first caught Fabinho’s side area. After konate was teased out, Billing went to explore the space behind him, forming a cross on the left:

In the 22nd minute, Fabinho followed the frontcourt to force the grab, konate headed Solanke, and it was normal for the central defender to hesitate in this area, so the problems of konate and Van Dyke could be understood, but the consequence was that Bournemouth directly formed a counterattack:

So in the 28th minute, Bournemouth once again started from the space between the winger and the full-back. Van Dyke defended Ouattara one by one, lost his body and let him hold the ball. What’s worse, he couldn’t start again after standing still. As a result, Ouattara sent a cross and created the only goal in this game:

The problem is not over yet.

In the 43rd minute, when Bournemouth developed a cross to the back point, Van Dyke’s start was a little slower, giving Solanke room to attack:

Dozens of seconds later, Solanke shook Van Dyke in one-on-one, forcing the latter to use excessive action:

With a little bad luck, Van Dyke’s game may be here.

So this is the most obvious problem at this stage. In the big space, not only the peripheral protection forces like Elliot and bajcetic are not qualified, but also the protected people-Fabinho and Van Dyke.

In the first half of the season, attacking Arnold is the easiest way for Liverpool’s opponents to think of attacking. However, under this tactical system, it is meaningless to attack a player who is supposed to play more on the offensive end and leave room behind. Just like Bournemouth in this game, left-back Anthony did not single Arnold several times. More importantly, he returned to the middle as soon as possible after getting the ball, so that Billing, Solanke and others could consume Liverpool’s backcourt and use their confrontation and Ouattara’s insertion on the weak side.

This is the most deadly place for Liverpool on the defensive end at present.

In klopp’s way, he can’t fail to see what Bournemouth is doing.

So in the second half, he took the lead in changing people, not only adding more on the offensive end, but also changing into jota in order to score goals. More importantly, let bajcetic retreat to Fabinho’s side and form a double-waist position. On the front, strengthen a little protection in front of Van Dyke:

Under such a tactical system, Liverpool’s full-backs need to adjust their forward insertion range, because at this time, if both sides are on, there will be only four people left when defending and attacking.

Only when you try your best to score goals, such as in the second half of the game, can you consider this.

So in the opening stage of the second half, it is obvious that Robertson’s forward insertion is stronger and faster than Arnold’s side, and Arnold appears more and more in the backcourt:

This time, it is time to directly hit Arnold:

However, even if the tactics are adjusted, the back waistline is still not reassuring:

Klopp also knows very well that we can’t leave too many weak defensive rings in the backcourt at this time, especially when the team is about to press heavily, so in the 65th minute, he replaced Arnold and Fabio with Milner and Henderson.

A minute later, Liverpool passed Milner’s insertion and cross, and jota made a penalty at the back point, but Salah missed:

In this way, Bournemouth can continue to retreat, fully compress the ball handling space of Huckabee, Nunez and Salah in the middle, and constantly create opportunities for defending and attacking.

On the offensive end, we constantly use counter-attacks to create pressure on Liverpool’s backcourt and chop up the time period of Liverpool’s siege:

In this way, it is not surprising that Liverpool lost this away game.

After the game, many fans and friends mentioned Salah and suggested that he should be allowed to take a rest in rotation, but it must be said that this opinion is unrealistic.

As early as last March, we began to mention the problem of Salah playing winger, and a year later, klopp tactically let all the full-backs on both sides, in essence, it is still to ensure that Salah continues to play winger, with someone on the outside and someone on the inside. Salah can continue to stand on the right wing even if he can’t play anything.

It’s just that with such tactics, a lot of resources are tilted to him, and less to Van Dyke, which will expose Van Dyke.

If the resources are tilted to Van Dyke, that is the idea of winning Manchester City in the first half. When Salah enters the middle road, he still needs to keep working, sprinting, confronting and consuming the opponent’s central defender. Such hard work is obviously the way he doesn’t want to play. klopp seems to agree with this, so he picks up the old guy of 433 again.

But at this stage, Liverpool should actually tilt its resources to Van Dyke, not only because the old central defender has more long-term value than the old winger, but more importantly, Nunez can play better when there is space, while Huckabee at this stage needs space to play, because he is not a player of firmino’s size, nor does he have firmino’s excellent technology in a narrow space.

Bournemouth won’t provide Huckabee with a lot of space like Manchester United, so the quality of his peripheral work will become like this:

As we mentioned last week, beating Manchester United can bring more confidence to Liverpool players, but tactical problems will not disappear with a big victory.

Playing Manchester United is different from playing other opponents after all, and Manchester United will not play football with a low face like Bournemouth, so once the frontcourt does nothing in a dense space, Liverpool’s backcourt will expose problems in a large space, which is a pit that this tactical system can’t bypass.

Klopp chose to protect Salah, so he can’t protect Van Dyke under the existing midfield quality, so the summer window reinforcement is certain, but before that, Liverpool have to keep their own lower limit.

If you don’t qualify for the Champions League, the flower of confidence in Liverpool will fade.
