Brendon Rodgers the former swansea manager is the man behind liverpool's huge success in the recent times which has not only restored their lost pride but also made them serious title contenders this season.He has been instrumental in the team's success.He joined the crisis hit liverpool side last year replacing liverpool great kenny dalglish.
So,he knew he have to fill the big boots with some from the management opposing rodgers appointment & wanted a longer run for dalglish.So,he knew he have straightaway go for the kill.And he did exactly the same.some were saying a man in his early fourtees is not enough experienced to coach a team like liverepool.But,rodgers had some other ideas in his mind.He started with the same team without much tweaking of the team.But soon he changed the formation of the team.He played most of the season with a 4-3-3 type formation.Although that did'nt bring him much success but he still continued with the same formation for most part of the season.He also concentrated on possession keeeping football last season.So,that did'nt bring him much success.Although,he did'nt get much success in terms of the team's position in the league but he found some great talents inside the team who were ignored by dalglish.Jordan Henderson is the greatest example of this.Although he played most of the league as a substitute but towards the end of the season especially the match against tottenham he showed his true prowess.And then the trust of his coach enhanced his confidence a lot & he just growed from confidence to confidence.And see this he has not only become a regular this season but also become a match winner for liverpool.then he has also transformed the players like Raheem Sterling,jon flanagan,joe allen,martin skrtel etc.But the biggest turnaround he did with his experienced players.first of them is steven gerrard who"s position in the team is in the defensive midfield.But,still his attacking instincts still provides the airish visionary passes which he has provided the team in all these years.And,then his main striker luis suarez who had some disciplanary issues last season looked a completely different man this season. THis season he looked more compact & disciplined.As well as a mature player who does'nt play for himself but for his team.BR has instilled the feelings of" The Team first" into suarez who is now a complete team man.And then comes suarez strike partner Daniel Sturridge who gained hugely under Rodgers & it has not only shaped his liverpool career but also he has now become the main striker for england as well.And then comes bralizian wonder kid Phillipe coutinho who has just startled everyone with his wonderful passes this season as well as last season.He is already a regular in the team and his beautiful pass es to suarez & sturridge is one of the key reasons for liverpool's success this season.Rodgers did a great amoun t of work in keeping faith on this players who are now on course for the league title.
Then,this season he has given full independence to his strike forces to attack the opposing team.And sturridge & suarez have done the same.They are now considered as one of the best strike partners in europe.They have gelled up in beautifully in a very short time & no doubt Rodgers have played the major role in this matter.And,then this season he has'nt beeen following the same 4-3-3 combination as he did last time.This time around it's a different formation for liverpool in every game.so, it makes task harder for the opposing teams to predict the formation & eventually to make their strategies.that has worked a lot fpr Rodgers this season.
Next,last year he concentrated on possesion but this time around he does'nt seem to must interested in the concept & has gone with a counter-attacking style of foootball .And it has brought him so much success that liverpool have become the team who scored the most no. of goals on counter-attack this season.This season he has mainly concentrated on a attacking style of football which has already resulted in the highest no. of goals this season other than any team.
Although,work on the defense is still going on & this is the only weak point for Rodgers this season but he has managed this with his attacking style of football.
Finally,he has managed to find success from the limited resources he has with him.He has again reiterated the basic concept of sports that a team wins a match not an individual.That,he has achieved this season with great success & have instilled the feelings of team spirit in each player.That has resulted with each player playing for each other.
Now,liverpool is on 2nd position with still 9 games to go.So,let's hope BR can bring the league title back to anfield that has eluded the liverpool fans all over the world for the last 24 years.
