The core lineup of the middle and backcourt is aging, does Liverpool really want to carry the laws of nature?

In the first round of the new season, Liverpool sent the largest premiere of the Premier League (according to FBREF statistics 28.7 years old, just like Chelsea). In the end, Liverpool tied Malham 2-2 on Clarvin Farm 2-2. Six of the 11 players in the guest team had passed the year. The Red Army's last situation in the league dates back to February 1994 (to Southampton).

In the previous community shield cups, Liverpool sent them the largest first lineup since 1953 (29 years old and 315 days). The aging trend of the Red Army lineup is very obvious. Is this really okay?

Goalkeeper

With reference to the analysis of the peak age of different positions before, Liverpool goalkeeper's age structure is very good.

A Lissen will only be 30 years old on October 2 this year, and the "gold" age who will leave the goalkeeper will soon be left. Ermen Kelleh was only 23 years old, and was earlier before the peak. The old goalkeeper must still have to prepare one. The 35 -year -old Adrian just helped Liverpool to get the community shield. This is the second and a half years for the second and a half years.

The combination of "old and middle green" is great.

Defender

According to our previous analysis, the peak period of the central defender was between 25 and 28 years old. In the first game against Fulham, Van Dark and Matterpad were now 31 years old and have passed the peak period. However, which team is willing to let Van Dark and Martap sit on a bench? They can always play high -level performance, and for them, age may really be a figure.

Liverpool has not been at the golden guard for the time being, but Joe Gomez and Philips are 25 years old and will immediately enter the theoretical peak. Konat had just passed the 23rd birthday in late May, and it was a few years before the peak. However, as long as they can maintain health, this guy may soon replace Martap's starting position and become Van Dak's new partner.

Liverpool has Arnold and is very happy. In the 2016-17 season, at the age of 18, he was promoted to the first team. Since then, his performance has been very good. He has not yet entered the golden age of the border. Arnold is only 23 years old, and the peak period of the border is generally between 24-26 years old.

Robertson is 28 years old. Like many teammates, he has passed the peak, but his state has not declined. Last season, he appeared 47 times on behalf of Liverpool and sent 15 assists. 26 -year -old Zimicas played well last season and is still at its peak.

The new aid Ramzizi is 19 years old, and this season will become Arnold's substitute. He represented Liverpool's guidance strategy in recent years -only players who have not yet entered or are about to enter the peak.

Midfielder

21 -year -old Jones and 19 -year -old Ellialt had not yet reached its peak. The midfield player will not enter the peak until the age of 24. The newly -associated midfielder of the newly aid Kavaco Field is only 20 years old this month, and there are still several years before the peak, but he has a lot stronger than his peers.

However, most of Liverpool's midfielders have passed the peak, and this problem may require Klopp to pay attention, because there are still World Cups in the middle of the season. Tiago, Henderson and Milner are all old men.

However, Milner also proves that as long as it maintains a good career, it is expected to extend the sports career. People always say that 37 -year -old Ronaldo and 35 -year -old Messi is the "old monster", and Milner is also 37 years old next year.

Robin Sop Supu, a senior manner of sports science and performance consultants, said:

"Once upon a time, we used the index of age to judge (after the competition) which players can continue to practice, who takes a day to rest, and players over 32 years old may return to the later group.

"Now, we have some innovative assessment methods and complete sports science information. Sometimes, some players who have to take a break before. If we evaluate that they are OK, then they can let them follow the training.

"We want them to continue training, which is conducive to their body and competitive status. We no longer just look at age, but consider whether you can really analyze the specific situation and specific analysis." Extending the exercise life for a few years. "

In 2002, 16 -year -old Milner first played on behalf of Leeds. Today, the veteran is the longest "standby" player in the Premier League, and his contract is only less than one year. Judging from his physical condition and determination, who dares to say that he will retire after the end of the season?

The 27 -year -old Kaita and 29 -year -old Chamberlain also entered the last year of the contract.

Although Elliowt, Cavalli and Jones are both young, Liverpool's midfielder should be on the agenda.

Front

The 25 -year -old Dias and Goro have just entered the peak. If the tower has joined the army for 2 years, he has stood firm at Anfield, and has renewed with the club for 5 years in the near future. The Dias Winter Window joined it quickly.

Salah had just finished his 30th birthday in June and had already reached its peak. Can his good state be maintained?

"To a large extent, this depends on the player's individual," said Barry Drust, an expert in sports and sports sciences at the University of Birmingham. "I think this really can't just look at the age, depending on what others expect to you, you have the ability to go to go Satisfy expectations. "

"Players like Salah, we will consider various important factors affecting his performance. They will see how he does it. It will not just look at his age. The age is just one of the factors." The introduction of medicine and the integration of cutting -edge technology and knowledge allows us to further realize how to manage various problems. Now everyone knows all the knowledge, and there are better strategies to manage some of the problems we see. From an angle, age may no longer be a problem. "

The 23 -year -old Nenes performed well in the Premier League's first show. He had not yet reached its peak, but it was a strong combat power. As the season proceeds, Nuns should be settled in the start, and the 30 -year -old Philmino's appearance time will become less and less.

Since Klopp took over Liverpool in October 2015, the average age of the team has increased quarterly.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Because Liverpool has been supplemented with U-25 players for a team and echelon. They also have a huge team of experts to work with the team every day to help the players ignore their age and maintain their peak state for a long time.

"Now (the Premier League clubs) have collected a lot of information about players," said Drust. "Many staff members can interpret the information and take corresponding measures. This information may be the recovery strategy. What kind of training and what the players need and do Nutrition."

"It may also be a history of injury, the risk of injury injuries, etc., the more information is collected, the more conducive to decision -making. The direction of decision -making is right, you can make better plans to achieve it."

"Now any Premier League club is not packed and managed by players, but will do a lot of personalized treatment. It is not the case from 10 to 15 years ago."

This method is conducive to players to extend the sports life, and Liverpool must do this.
