In the 7th round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-1, and Zhan Jun analyzed the substitution strategy of the two teams after the game.

Zhan Jun analyzed:

The two head coaches were on-the-spot adjustments. Chelsea was forced to adjust the central defender combination. You can see that the height of the team James partnered with Harto in the final stage is generally not enough. Harto's height is 1.83 meters, and James is only 1.78 meters. At this time, there is Egyptian Tik on the field, with a height of nearly 1.95 meters.

In this case, Liverpool did not change to play more crosses on the wing based on the situation of the opponent's personnel, and used high-altitude bombing to threaten Chelsea's defense line. This is an obvious deficit in Slot's on-the-spot adjustment.

Maresca made targeted arrangements based on Liverpool's situation. Liverpool's defense on both sides is their weakness, so in this game, Chelsea changed two sets of winger lineups, and continued to maintain oppression of the Reds' two sides, and finally achieved results.

In contrast, Slott chose Endo instead of Chiesa, the last substitution, and he wanted to defend a draw instead of fighting for three points away. The mentality of the head coaches of both sides and the personnel arrangements are different, which also led to a different ending in this game.
