Elgra thinks Slott also needs psychological support, Dembele can improve his technology

Premier League media revealed that Slott was originally studying how new players could integrate into the championship system. After all, the arrival of Wilz may break the "Mc8H" midfield combination. However, after Diogo Jota passed away unexpectedly, Slot was no longer in the mood to consider tactical issues. The new champion coach first needed to provide psychological support to the players. Anfield players suddenly lost their comrades, which was a very serious psychological crisis. Real Madrid legend Elgra also admitted that Slott has faced a real test in the Premier League, and the coaching staff and management have a lot of work. Elgra thinks Slott also needs psychological support, because the head coach is not less hurt than the players. What's more, Liverpool is unlikely to continue to sign ups this summer window, and the thickness of the lineup will also be problematic.

Slot's first goal in coaching Liverpool was scored by Jota, and Slot also admitted that the first song he learned when he came to Anfield was "The Song of Jota". From this, it can be seen that Jota's position in the Slot system is very important. Mourinho also affirmed Jota's spiritual temperament, which shows that at the level of willpower, Jota is also the spiritual pillar of his teammates in a sense. Slott's mentality in the new season will also have problems. Not only the players, but also the coach needs psychological support so that the club can overcome the difficulties together. Real Madrid lost to Paris Saint-Germain by a big score, and Elgra also talked about the issue of his old club. He admitted that Real Madrid is indeed not as good as Paris Saint-Germain at present.

At the same time, Elgra also put forward an important point - Dembele's personal ability is extraordinary, he can change the direction of the game with his own strength. He seems to be the only one in today's football world, and there was Ronaldo and Ronaldo in his peak period before. And what's even more terrifying is that Dembele can improve his skills, which means that the "King of the Sky" still has potential, and he still has many places to improve. In Elgra's view, Dembele's shooting skills are just a last-minute shot, and he can be improved, and his goal efficiency will be higher. Furthermore, Dembele's dribbling technology can be simplified and more threatening.

However, Dembele's technical polishing was not achieved overnight. He needs to stay focused in high-intensity competitions and transform the delicate foot feeling in training into a stable performance on the field. For example, his shooting choice can be smarter - he doesn't have to be obsessed with violent volleys. Occasionally, light shots or ground-cuts can disrupt the goalkeeper's rhythm. As Neymar showed in Barcelona, the finishing ability of top wingers is often reflected in the momentary inspiration of "a little effort to make a big move". At the dribbling level, Dembele needs to understand the philosophy of "simplicity is fatal". Although the sign changes drastically, Premier League defenders have already begun to predict his habitual movements. If he could complete a breakthrough in three touches like Messi when he was young, and cooperate with the sudden change in rhythm, his extraordinary success rate would be greatly improved.

Regarding Elgra, he thinks that Slot also needs psychological support. Some things on the surface are the preparation plan before the season, which will be disrupted by Jota's unexpected death. You should know that a good summer training is very important for the club, especially Liverpool has important new players. As the preparations for the new season gradually deepen, Slot's challenges are far more than the arrangement of troops on the tactical board. The atmosphere of the locker room, the psychological state of the players and the pressure of external public opinion are all wrapped around the Dutch coach like an invisible rope. Although Jota's goal has injected confidence into the team, the long season requires more such moments to maintain morale.

psychology expert Mark Williams once pointed out in his book "High Pressure Football": "The collapse of modern coaches often begins with undetected emotional backlogs. " Liverpool management is clearly aware of this and they quietly formed a support team for Slott, including sports psychologists, data analysts and senior coaches. Every Tuesday afternoon, Slott holds closed-end meetings with psychologists, which are humorously called "tactical coffee time" by the club. Therefore, only when Slot himself receives psychological support can the players receive corresponding psychological support and gradually get out of the shadow of Jota's sudden death.

Judging from the rhetoric of the Premier League media, the psychological expert team designed a set of "stress release training" to integrate emotional management skills into daily tactical drills. For example, during set-piece defense practice, players were asked to shout out the cheering slogans that Jota loved during his lifetime. This innovative training method not only relieves tension, but also unexpectedly enhances the team's tacit understanding. When playing against AC Milan in the preseason, the calm response of Liverpool players while lagging behind surprised the commentator to find: "This team seems to have found a stronger cohesion than the tactical system." The author believes that the management's requirements for the team's record should not be too high, and it cannot add additional pressure to Slot's team.
