Five Hundred and Forty-Two The Defense Line Was Exploded!
Anfield Stadium.
Chamberlain, who performed well in the quarter-finals, really hoped to win another title against Atletico Madrid. Zhang Juzheng, who got his wish and played in the middle of the midfield, ran rampant against Atletico Madrid's defense.
In the first 15 minutes, his performance was as strong and fearless as a Premier League player, and even had a bit of iron-blooded demeanor.
I don’t know if he is a stubborn person.
Not falling behind in front of Koke and Saul seemed to be an advantage, so he ran to Atletico Madrid's Partey who specialized in doing the dirty work.
In the 22nd minute of the game, when he took the initiative to counterattack and collided with Partey, Partey twisted to protect the ball and not only fended off the opponent, but he also added a powerful impact.
Chamberlain fell to the ground and never got up again.
Atletico Madrid showed their competitive spirit and took the initiative to send the ball out of bounds.
Then Chamberlain retired from injury.
Red Army fans frowned.
This kid is too high.
The attitude of catching and destroying whomever you want is attractive, but you should always consider how strong you are. Do you really think that you are a small tank that can push Atletico Madrid's defense?
Klopp is depressed. Regardless of whether Chamberlain's performance is stable or not, now it's okay. Who dares to entrust him with an important task when he is injured at such a critical stage of the season?
Wijnaldum came off the bench, and Liverpool's midfield shifted from balanced to strengthened defense.
Atletico Madrid saw this and stepped up their offensive.
In the 26th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng made a quick dash from the left side of the frontcourt and was blocked inside by Milner and Wijnaldum. Arnold stepped forward to press, which was a bit of a blow.
He quickly knocked the ball under his feet and broke through from the outside. After heading towards the bottom line, he saw Van Dijk actively expand the defensive range and come to the edge of the penalty area to intercept.
Ye Yifeng rushed the ball towards the opponent's feet, stepped on his bicycle quickly, then dropped his shoulders and faked a reverse cut to change the direction of the ball. Van Dijk retreated in shock mode and still gave Ye Yifeng room to pass the ball, but did not give him a good chance to break through.
Ye Yifeng passed the ball in front of the baseline and sent it to the back of the penalty area.
Griezmann scrambled for the ball at the back but Henderson, who retreated, sent the ball over the baseline.
The situation remains stalemate.
Atletico Madrid's direct restrictions on Salah are also relatively in place.
Liverpool was not allowed to directly challenge Salah in the attack.
In the 29th minute of the game, Liverpool shifted to the left and Mane took control of the ball.
Facing Juanfran, Mane first crossed the ball and cut inside, then suddenly spiked the ball and accelerated to cut in from the outside. Juanfran's center of gravity was shaken and he concentrated on chasing.
Mane passed the ball back in an inverted triangle in front of the baseline.
Firmino followed up and was already trapped between Partey and Jimenez. However, he did not force a shot. Instead, he controlled the ball and retreated past Partey before knocking the ball back diagonally.
At this time, Salah cut inside and stopped the ball in the middle of the penalty area, then aimed at the far corner of the goal and kicked the goal!
The football flew straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball!
Oblak's save limit is still a step too slow!
The audience saw the football flying into the goal, the Red Army fans cheered wildly, and the atmosphere in Anfield suddenly became passionate.
Salah rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, but the Atletico Madrid generals collectively looked at Mane.
The scoring opportunity was created by Mane.
I thought Salah was the most threatening, but Mane did something big on the left without saying a word!
Atletico Madrid fans lamented in their hearts.
Look at that trident!
Then they are called tridents.
Take care of each other and complement each other.
What is Atletico Madrid’s trident?
A super giant and two giant babies are fighting!
As long as Griezmann and Costa can create opportunities, Ye Yifeng will not be prevented by Liverpool from even entering the penalty area!
Liverpool 1:0 Atletico Madrid.
With the score lagging behind, Atletico Madrid naturally further strengthened its offensive.
Ye Yifeng is no longer on the left.
In the 32nd minute, he moved to the right side of the frontcourt. After receiving a pass from Saul, he encountered Wijnaldum and Henderson blocking the inside. Nardum pressed hard, and then met Henderson in the middle.
Quickly collaborating with Costa against the wall, and when receiving the ball again, Robertson helped defend in front of the penalty area and put a shovel to block his inward route.
Ye Yifeng's spike came to the outside again!
Liverpool's defense is restricting him from facing the goal or entering the penalty area. Generally speaking, the idea is very clear. The effect of multi-person encirclement and line blocking is good.
Ye Yifeng sent a through ball from the outside instep of his left foot.
Opportunities can still be created.
Griezmann grabbed the ball on the right side of the penalty area before Lovren and passed the ball across the goal area.
Van Dijk rushed to clear the ball before Costa was in place.
In the 36th minute of the game, Liverpool's attack from the left made a comeback.
When Mane controlled the ball from the wing and cut inside, Atletico Madrid's defense quickly compressed the space to block it.
Mane passed the ball diagonally to the left baseline.
Robertson came up with an assist and sent a high-quality cross.
Savage grabbed the ball from the back of the penalty area before Salah and headed the ball out.
The football flew out but was controlled by Henderson from the outside.
He then sent a high-altitude ball into the penalty area.
Jimenez stares at Firmino, but Savic is not as fast as Salah in moving.
When Salah retreated, he changed direction and cut across his chest to stop the ball, then made a reverse cut with his left foot and volleyed!
The football flew neatly into the lower right corner of the goal!
One left, one right, one up and down, the angles are extremely tricky, Oblak's save this time still failed to make a comeback.
The whole place in Anfield was shocked!
Liverpool fans were in disbelief.
Two goals ahead? !
Going to the finals? !
Simeone's expression looked like he was stunned!
The lack of Godin on the defensive line does have a significant impact, but today it is precisely Juanfran on the right who was blown away!
In the melee, the defensive adjustments in the penalty area could not keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Salah scored twice.
The camera shot directly to Ye Yifeng.
Ye Yifeng, who was frowning, had bright eyes.
It’s time to change the way we think about this game.
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!
Atletico Madrid fans looked worried and could only continue to cheer for the team.
Liverpool's tough style and efficient operation indeed look strong.
Klopp is quite capable of allowing a bunch of engineers in the midfield to maximize their physical fitness and basic zone defense.
Even elm knots can be turned into treasure.
Liverpool, with a two-goal lead, tried to control the rhythm and seize better opportunities to expand their victory.
Atletico Madrid's forwards stepped up their counterattack.
Ye Yifeng stopped breaking through.
As long as you control the ball in the frontcourt and look for the space, pass the ball to Costa.
It is hoped that Costa's fulcrum role will allow him to get opportunities in the penalty area.
The success rate of playing in this way is not high.
When Costa receives the ball, he will also be pressed by Lovren or Van Dijk from behind.
It is far less certain than Ye Yifeng directly delivering the threatening ball after breaking through.
But Ye Yifeng had already created opportunities for his teammates before, but the threat was not full.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Liverpool hit high.
Atletico Madrid played fine in the frontcourt but the success rate was appalling.
In the 43rd minute of the game, Salah broke through from the wing and forced a shot, but Savage blocked it with his body.
Atletico Madrid switched from defense to offense.
Ye Yifeng came to the center circle to receive the ball and knocked the ball back to Koke, who then sent a direct pass to Griezmann.
Griezmann passed the ball short to Costa under Robertson's pressing pressure.
Ye Yifeng quickly ran and rushed behind Costa.
Milner and Henderson flanked him.
Costa saw this and knocked the ball back.
Ye Yifeng continued to run and missed the ball, which surprised Milner and Henderson.
Moving forward towards the middle of the penalty area, Van Dijk and Lovren turned around and flanked Ye Yifeng.
His running impact is so eye-catching.
Saul came up and passed the football missed by Ye Yifeng diagonally to the front and right of the penalty area.
Griezmann cut inside and reached the penalty area with continuous stops, and Ye Yifeng formed an outflank in the middle.
However, he was flanked and Griezmann quickly passed the ball back in an inverted triangle.
As soon as Costa entered the penalty area, he met the ball and volleyed.
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.
Karius's flying save was in vain.
Not even close.
The moment the football flew into the goal, Costa rushed to the sidelines to celebrate passionately!
Costa, who had no results against Bayern Munich, scored a key goal for Atletico Madrid at Anfield!
This goal was crucial and also valuable.
Liverpool 2:1 Atletico Madrid.
Simone looked better.
Got the away goal, and the score was only one goal behind.
Not so panicked.
Klopp's expression on the sidelines was a bit ugly.
The origin of this goal loss was that Salah was a bit lonely in the frontcourt.
He didn't have a chance to shoot hard but was beaten by Atletico Madrid on a fast break.
well.
A two-goal lead will be lost!
No matter who the opponent is.
Not to mention a two-goal lead.
Klopp believes that even if he leads by three goals, Liverpool is not safe!
Halftime is over.
The two teams returned to the locker room to take a break and adjust.
Simeone asked the team to switch to a defensive counterattack in the second half.
There is no way, the defense line cannot withstand the pressure.
Salah scored two goals, but the root cause was where Juanfran was blown out of the wing defense by Mane and Robertson.
In order to allow the midfield to help defend the wings, or the forwards to support the defense, the style of play must be adjusted.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
After Atletico Madrid switched to defensive counterattack, Ye Yifeng had to strengthen his ball control and breakthrough.
Because their offense needs to push forward.
Liverpool took the initiative to increase the pace. They could not be satisfied with the score of 2:1 and strived to score more goals.
In the 49th minute of the game, Jimenez headed a cross from Arnold from the penalty area.
Saul responded with a header, and Koke sent a medium and long pass.
Ye Yifeng crossed the half court and cut in the chest to stop the ball and then turned the ball into the middle. As soon as he passed Milner, he was knocked to the ground by the opponent.
Milner received a yellow card.
Atletico Madrid's chance to counterattack disappeared.
Simeone showed no emotion about this.
Normal situation, foul tactics.
During the position battle, Ye Yifeng was surrounded by five people!
