Erik Ten Hag Prepares A Surprise Strategy Against Liverpool

DBasia.news – Manchester United coach, Erik Ten Hag, prepared a surprise strategy against Liverpool. Against the strongest candidate as champion, Erik ten Hag explained it had to be in a different way.

In the first two matches in the 2022/2023 Premier League, Man United fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation. The arrangement of the first eleven did not change much.

However, the results were disappointing. Man United have lost twice and have conceded six goals. The only goal scored was an own goal.

The tactics that did not work were planned to be changed when they met Liverpool. He did not explain what kind of changes might be made.

Ten Hag, who has a proactive football orientation, said he would adopt a different approach. Meanwhile, the philosophy of the game will remain the same.

“Every game is different, so of course we will take a different approach,” he told a news conference.

“But what needs to be understood, our philosophy and game plan will remain the same.”

Ten Hag admits that the first two games went really badly. Therefore, there are many things that must be improved when hosting Liverpool at Old Trafford.

“As a manager, you will face the game with a plan, about how a team will play. After that, you will determine how the game goes,” he said.

“What you do is see what is right and what is wrong. But what just happened, everything went wrong. So before fixing anything, our attitude must also be right.”

Ten Hag also explained that the confidence of his foster children was not a problem. Even though the two matches that passed ended in defeat.

According to the Dutch coach, the players just need to focus on understanding their playing strategy and believing in their own abilities.

“Just keep being themselves. Play as a team, follow the rules and principles that have been made and work as hard as they can. If they do that, then they will be confident,” he said.
