Let's talk for the first time todayChampionship: Bristol City vs Sheffield United
on the surfaceThe difference in value between the two sides is almost threefold, which obviously means a large lineup gap.
And in the regular season, Sheffield United did have the upper hand with one win and one draw in two meetings.
But actually, because Sheffield United have chosen one this season"The Evil Way", I'm afraid they won't be too strong in the play-offs.
Sheffield United boss Wilder was known for playing in a back five, relying on a 352 formation to finish ninth in the 19/20 season, the best Premier League ranking in the club's history.
But immediately after relegation, he switched to a back fourIn 49 games in all competitions this season, he has only used a back five in his first time against Leeds United in October last year, and the other 48 games have all been four-backs, why?
Many long-time fans should be able to guess why:For the sake of abusing vegetables.
Wilder's set of five guardsThe defense is strong, but the offense is weak, often when it is strong, it is not weak, but it is not strong when it is weak.
In the Premier League, almost all opponents are better than you, so of course defending is important.
But when it comes to the Championship, if you want to upgrade, the ability to abuse vegetables is very important, so Wilder changed the formation.
In fact, Wilder's change of formation was successful, and their ability to abuse vegetables is indeed the first in the Championship, at least tied for the first place.
For example, they have a 75% win rate in the bottom 10 of the Championship, which is the first place in the Championship, and their average of 2.35 points per game is tied with Leeds United for the first place, which is stronger than Burnley.
But there are pros and cons to everything,Playing a weak team is extremely strong, but playing a strong team becomes very poor.
How bad is it?
It's worse than Putrajaya, which is only one-third of his worth tonight!
Sheffield United have a win rate of just 33.33 per cent against top-10 opponents in the Championship, which is not even as good as Putrajaya, and the average points per game is lower than that of Putrajaya.
In fact, Sheffield United have the worst ability to talk to each other of the six teams in the Championship promotion zone.
Although this season is 1 win and 1 draw, there is a lot of luck.
In the away win over Putrajaya, it was mainly the Putrajaya central defender who received a red card, and the defensive end was suddenly very chaotic, only to be beaten by Sheffield United.
Although the home team drew with Putrajaya, there were actually more chances in that game, but it was just too wasteful of opportunities, otherwise it might have won three points.
Now, of course, when it comes to the play-offs, Sheffield United, who play away in the first leg, may be more cautious and perhaps not give their opponents as many chances.
But I'm afraid it's hard for them to play too strongly.
Note: Sheffield United are very poor in attacking power in strong conversations, mainly because they are actually very poor in attack, after all, Wilder is a master of the back five but rarely plays in the back fourSheffield United's ability to create chances this season is even 10th in the Championship, mainly relying on the individual ability of the star to break the goal.
But when you encounter a strong team, the advantage of individual ability is not obvious, and it is very difficult to break the goal.
If they want to be solid on the road, they need to put more energy into the defensive end, which is naturally worse in attack.
Therefore, although there is a big gap between the image, fame, and value of both sides.
But what do you think about whether Putrajaya can defend its home turf? The little wine party expects them to sit and look at the victory.
Well, for today's other competitions, Xiaojiu will still send you text analysis in the evening. If there is anything unclear, you can ask me, "Watch the ball and see clearly", we will see you soon!
