At Anfield, Dortmund took the lead in kicking off after the referee blew the whistle, and the game officially kicked off!
Passion ignites at this moment!
Dortmund's midfield operated quickly. After Shahin, mhitaliang and bender quickly completed the transfer, Shahin skewed the ball to the right of the front court. Kuba kicked the ball in front of Robertson and knocked the ball horizontally. Levandovsky, who had moved in advance to pick up the ball, suddenly buckled the ball to the restricted area!
Benatia was accidentally broken by levandovsky from the outside line. When he turned back to the defense and blocking, levandovsky had already started to blow the door!
Telstegen was surprised. He didn't expect Dortmund to shoot in less than 20 seconds!
After moving one step in a hurry, he managed to block the ball in the restricted area. Telstegen nearly slipped and fell to the ground. He hurriedly ran to pick up the ball again, and a cold sweat was exuded on his forehead.
"Wow, just at the beginning, levandovsky finished a shot!
The Polish striker is now a famous center in European football. There is no doubt about his strength. He will be the biggest threat to Liverpool's defense today! "
Situ Yunbing is not surprised by Dortmund's playing style. Klopp has tried to simplify Dortmund's playing style as much as possible and requires overall tight defense. Maybe they don't have a great God of interception like Cantor, but they curb the opponent's attack through wolf siege, which is equally effective, but it is undeniable that, If they can have one or two more world-class stars, Dortmund will definitely be the favourites to win the Champions League for a long time!
When Liverpool started the positional attack, it was obvious that Dortmund, in addition to levandovsky retreating near the center circle, two players playing wingers Kuba and groskloitz would return to the center and back court to assist in local encirclement and suppression in the midfield!
Liverpool have to speed up the transfer of attack in positional warfare, otherwise there is a great risk of losing the ball if they fall into a siege.
Eriksson was forced by msitalian and Gros kloitz on the right side of the front court. He knocked the ball on the right side, and azpiliquetta assisted. He just pushed 5 yards but smashed the ball back, because he saw that msitalian went back to the side and formed a hierarchical defense with schmitzer. At the same time, bender was watching Gerrard, and Sterling had no room to respond, If he dribbled over again, he was undoubtedly looking for his own death.
Azpiliquetta decisively crosses the ball across the middle to find Cantor, who then passes the ball straight ahead.
Cutinho met on the left in front of the restricted area, but he was caught in the trap between pishcek and Shashin. At this time, he hit the ball obliquely back to Eriksson who came to the middle.
The Danish midfielder pushed forward two steps and then started to cross directly, trying to give Gareth bell a chance to cross the top straight plug, but Subotic headed the ball first.
The failure of positional warfare is expected for situ Yunbing. Dortmund's close and active joint defense and the whole army's almost physical running coverage will bring great offensive resistance to Liverpool.
However, the counter grab after the setback of the attack is the key point for Liverpool to play Dortmund at this stage!
When gross kloitz was ready to control the ball, Gerrard and Eriksson rushed to block him. Gross kloitz didn't dare to pass the ball short to his nearby teammates for fear of being broken, so he directly threw his head off the ferry to find levandovsky in the middle circle.
When levandovsky and benatia had a physical confrontation in the middle circle, levandovsky did not lose the wind at all, and he immediately threw his head off the ferry.
The football flew in front of Kuba, who beat Robertson and kicked the ball behind the Liverpool guard line, and then quickly rushed past Robertson. If he touched the ball again, it would be a single knife!
But Van Dijk took the ball first.
Liverpool held back Dortmund's counterattack.
It is under this counter grab pressure that Dortmund's counter attack efficiency is reduced, which is the main tactical effect of Liverpool's defense today.
But this is only Liverpool's defensive strategy. It is still difficult for them to play some effective habitual strategies in attack. In high-level games, curbing opponents has become the first thing that most strong teams need to consider. Of course, Barcelona and Real Madrid are exceptions. They prefer to attack instead of defense.
In the sixth minute of the game, Liverpool attacked on the left in the front court. Kutinho quickly knocked the ball back after receiving Gerrard's pass, otherwise pishcek would risk breaking the ball to him.
Robertson assists up the wing and crosses from 45 degrees.
Hummels headed the ball easily.
Liverpool, which kept pressing up, also extremely compressed Dortmund's space from defense to attack in the front court. Eriksson interfered when msitalian stopped the ball, and then Gerrard succeeded in stealing the ball!
The Red Army captain quickly skewed the ball to the right, and Sterling immediately ran to cut the ball. The speed really caught Dortmund's defense a little unprepared. However, sterling still chose to pass and cut with Gareth bell in front of the restricted area rather than force a breakthrough.
Gareth Bell's kick obliquely blocked the right rib of the restricted area.
When Sterling shot in front of him, schmitzer rushed from the side and rear to release the shovel, which interfered with him. Sterling's shot hit schmitzer's leg, bounced high and flew out of the bottom line.
Seeing that such a play still could not shake Dortmund's defense, situ Yunbing basically knew it well.
The same playing method works in the Premier League. The level of the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League is there, but in the Champions League, it is difficult to break through the defense of the strong teams through the Premier League playing method.
So he decisively gestured to the team in less than 10 minutes and took the second plan.
Dortmund's defense line is world-class. It's unrealistic to attack from the overall height, so focus on breaking a little to create opportunities!
In the 12th minute of the game, Dortmund attacked in the front court. Gros kloitz encountered a double attack between Eriksson and azpiliquetta in the fast ball advance on the left. He knocked the ball obliquely back to msitalian, who quickly transferred the attack to the right. Shahin assisted the attack and then passed the ball obliquely to Kuba, The latter continued to move forward and chose a strong outburst in the face of Robertson.
Robertson well contained the inside line, but Kuba didn't cross in front of the bottom line. Instead, he knocked the ball back to pishchak, who came up with an assist. Pishchak quickly turned back to defense after sending a diagonal plug.
Levandovsky had already inserted forward, but he resolutely retreated to receive when Kuba returned. This time, he was defended by Kant and benatia when he was back receiving on the restricted area line. He had no space to control the ball, so he knocked the ball back to Shahin, who immediately picked the ball to the deep area of the right rib of the restricted area after Gerrard's marking and setting the ball out of the air.
But I saw Kuba's quick cut in front of the ball!
Kuba hit the ball deep in the right rib of the penalty area to the back of the penalty area.
Gros kloitz made a quick cut to finish the goal, but Van Dijk swept the ball out of the sideline first.
Klopp's eyes are dignified and Liverpool's defense is really strong!
It's a tough battle for Liverpool, but it's not for Dortmund?
In the 17th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly passed and cooperated in the front and middle of the field. When the attack hit sterling's feet, schmitzer resolutely came forward and put pressure on sterling to control the ball. Sterling couldn't pull the ball to turn around, so he passed it to Gerrard who took the initiative to pick it up. The latter oblique plug sent the ball to the right baseline before bender grabbed it.
Schmitzer turned around and looked at it. He was suddenly surprised that Gareth bell took over as a center today!
He immediately rushed to Gareth bell, but the latter crossed the ball into the penalty area!
Schmitzer was in a dilemma at this time. Sterling quickly cut in and picked up Gareth Bell's pass. When Hummels came back to block his cross line, he suddenly smashed the ball and changed the angle in front of Hummels. When Hummels stopped and blocked again, sterling had passed the ball!
Seeing that Gerrard was about to shoot when he entered the restricted area, Subotic naturally had to go forward to block, but Gerrard knocked the ball to the front left under the blocking attack of bender and Subotic.
The audience held their breath. We can intuitively see that Dortmund's defense line has been destroyed!
Under the attention of the public, kutinio cut the ball, stopped and adjusted the ball to take a step forward. When weidenfeller attacked, he made a sharp angle rubbing shot with the inner instep of his right foot!
The football flew to the far corner of the goal with a slight inner arc. Weidenfeler couldn't touch the football in his jump!
Bang!
The football hit the inside of the right goalpost and bounced into the goal!
Cutinho immediately turned and rushed to celebrate!
Liverpool generals are also chasing his figure and roaring with passion.
Even situ Yunbing, who had not seen him for a long time, held up his fists on the sidelines. He was very excited!
"Coutinho smashed the door! Liverpool go to the next city at home!
Dortmund's defence failed to withstand the impact of Liverpool in this defense!
During Suarez's recuperation, Gareth bell, a guest center, took the initiative to pick up the side. On the front right, Liverpool played a classic triangle passing cooperation strategy, from sterling to Gerrard to Gareth bell, then Sterling inserted forward, Gareth bell passed the ball to sterling, and Gerrard was also running, and Sterling made the ball to him, The three produced a wonderful chemical reaction, and finally Gerrard assisted cutinho to finish the goal!
In this process, Dortmund's defense gave people a feeling that every step could kill Liverpool's attack, but it didn't succeed in the end!
It can be said that Liverpool have made great efforts in tactical details, which is enough to show situ Yunbing's tactical attainments!
Liverpool led Borussia Dortmund 1-0 at Anfield
