He was tasked with scrutinising Liverpool\u2019s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.

The key point is that sometimes when people reference man to man, they put it as, &#8216;They all have a specific player to pick up,&#8217; whereas the zonal aspect of this means there wasn&#8217;t a specific player that Liverpool picked up. There was a specific player in their area that they picked up.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For his first major assignment, Postecoglou returned to Anfield &#8211; the home of the club he famously supported&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":410327,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[49356,4488,85,46,172,193929,2619,105,9457],"class_list":["post-410326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-a-postecoglou","tag-champions-league","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-liverpool","tag-liverpool-vs-paris-saint-germain","tag-premier-league","tag-sports","tag-tottenham"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=410326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/410326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/410327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=410326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=410326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=410326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
