It was Harvey Alonso!
Out of curiosity, Wang Shuo had once compared Dortmund's and Liverpool's 4-2-3-1 formations and discovered something very interesting.
The player roles were remarkably similar.
For example, Harvey Alonso corresponded to Shahin.
Mascherano corresponded to Sven Bender.
And Torres corresponded to Wang Shuo.
If he analyzed Liverpool based on Dortmund's 4-2-3-1, Wang Shuo immediately saw where the problem lay.
What Torres and Wang Shuo had in common was their skill at receiving the ball and launching direct attacks.
The difference was that Wang Shuo had a larger operational range.
Torres operated almost exclusively within the 30-meter area.
This was because he was the only player on the Liverpool squad who could pose a threat to the opponent's penalty box.
Gerrard was responsible for late runs from deep, Harvey Alonso for orchestrating the play and making long-range switches, and Mascherano for interceptions in the midfield.
