The transfer soap opera that lasted for nearly two months finally came to an end. Isaac joined Liverpool with a record value, and Slot's long-planned "giant formation" was officially released.

Get rid of Klopp's imprint, the "Giant Formation" is also a helpless move

Under the leadership of Slot, Liverpool has gradually formed a routine of focusing on low-post defense. The popularity of the "heavy metal flow" in the Klopp era has faded, and Slott must find a new development path for the Red Army. In the process of leading Arsenal to continue to make progress, Arteta built the best defense line in the Premier League around tall players. Manchester City's three-time champion lineup was also full of people. Slot focused on promoting "energy conservation and emission reduction", so he naturally also needed to move closer to this idea, namely, to improve confrontation and defensive capabilities to make up for the tactical lack of pressure caused by the decline in pressure intensity.

"Giant Formation" needs a balancer. After the three new players completed this round of big-name purchases, nearly half of the players in Liverpool's main lineup can be called "giants". Van Dyke, Konath, Heraffenberg, Ekitic, Isaac and Garkepo are all over 1.90 meters tall, while Sobosloy is also 1.86 meters tall. It is very important to provide skills and running around tall players. Needless to say, the ability of McAllister and Salah is, the adaptability of Wilz, Flynnon and Kolkz will determine the team's lower limit.
