In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Liverpool faced Atletico Madrid at home. Although the scene had great advantages, the attack threat was not very high.
Atletico Madrid's overall defense is excellent, compressing space and strong confrontation. Even if it can't break the ball at the first time, it can also delay and hinder Liverpool's attack.
In the 11th minute of the game, Liverpool organized an attack again and reached the dangerous area of the front court attack. Kutinho took the ball from the side and knocked it back obliquely. Robertson followed up the diagonal pass transfer. Gareth bell was pinched by cork and Felipe Louis as soon as he stopped the ball on the right. He calmly kicked the ball and crossed the middle.
Eriksson followed up the middle ball and pushed forward the attack. At this time, Gaby quickly came to his front to block.
Eriksson lightly knocked the ball across the front left of the restricted area, and Camaro followed up and inserted it, which made Atletico Madrid's defense a little overwhelmed.
Gordin intended to intercept Camero head-on, but the latter almost completed the wall crossing and cutting cooperation with levandovsky without stagnation!
Camero, who cut into the left rib of the restricted area, immediately started to bang the door!
The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, but obrak threw the ball out of the bottom line like God's help!
Hoo!
All the Red Army fans were amazed.
"The shot from Casimiro in the restricted area was brilliantly thrown off by aubraque!
Liverpool's attack was very wonderful, moving from the left to the right, and then combining the side and the middle to the middle. A series of team cooperation was particularly pleasing to the eye, and even Camero's shot was well completed. The only regret was that he didn't score!
This shows Liverpool's strong team attack ability!
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper aubraque played well. He withstood the pressure and defended Atletico Madrid's goal at the critical moment! "
Situ Yunbing regretted that he didn't score much.
Liverpool are constantly changing their playing style, not to show how rich their offensive means are.
It's a way of attack. After there is no threat, it's another way. It's very conventional, but it's not blind.
Some teams deliberately change their playing methods, but they imitate others because they are not good at it.
Liverpool don't have such a problem. They don't deliberately play tactics they're not good at.
In the 15th minute of the game, due to the threat of Liverpool's previous frequent transfer of attack, the team continued to use this method, but this time, when the attack shifted from the right to the left, Juan Fran made a key interception in defense. His interception of cutinho was very successful, which gave Atletico Madrid a good opportunity to counterattack.
When Sauer met in the middle circle, he kicked the ball forward to break through Kant's defense.
Torres attracted van Dijk to defend in the reception, and then hit the ball horizontally to the front right of the restricted area.
Glitzmann quickly cut inside to get rid of Robertson.
He is smart in running and smart in timing. These are the key training of situ Yunbing when he was in Hamburg. After all, Royce was the player mainly responsible for breakthrough in Hamburg at that time, and the most important thing for glitzman is running, because he still plays center most of the time!
When glitzmann cut the ball into the Liverpool restricted area, in order to avoid kulibali's interception, he turned the ball to the right rib of the restricted area, successfully opened the distance of kulibali with dribbling speed, and then shot!
The powerful shot blasted the ball to the near corner of the goal. Telstegen looked calm, moved calmly and quickly, made a save action, and directly held the ball in his arms!
The Red Army fans burst into applause at the scene!
"Telstegen blocked glitzmann's shot directly!
Wonderful!
Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack is simple but threatening! "
Simone's expression didn't change.
In fact, he also knows that it is unrealistic to expect Atletico Madrid to play tricks in the attack!
What they are best at is to compete with their opponents for endurance. If they can shape the attack threat through defense, they still have the opportunity to play more players and insert the threat. However, if the scene is very passive, such as today's situation, it is a very good situation to play the counter threat.
If you want to make a stronger threat, you have to take greater risks.
It's not wise to take risks before returning to Calderon!
Simone knows this, so maybe the best result at Anfield today is a draw!
Victory?
If it can be achieved, it is definitely a miracle.
Situ Yunbing was calm, and it was expected that Atletico Madrid could fight back.
Atletico Madrid has good counterattack ability after all. In order to win at home, Liverpool naturally can't completely block Atletico Madrid in an all-round way.
But Liverpool failed to create a continuous threat, which is very bad for Liverpool in rhythm.
If you can create threats continuously, the rhythm threat is much greater than the tactical threat!
But Atletico Madrid must also know that Liverpool can't speed up the rhythm. Just as they often make fouls to interrupt the game when facing Barcelona and Real Madrid, no matter what means they use to make these super teams play a crazy attack rhythm, no team on earth can resist it!
I have seen the two rounds of confrontation between Liverpool and Barcelona, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
It's just that the audience may not think about it, but the coach will keep it in mind.
Liverpool's delicate and almost cumbersome attack can not play a continuous threat effect, so they quickly adjusted their attack ideas.
Be simple and rough!
In the 20th minute of the game, Eriksson picked up Gareth Bell's pass in the front of the restricted area. Gaby and cork had hit him. Eriksson hit back with his heel and sent the ball to the foot of Camero, who then sent a cross to find cutinho.
Kutinho stopped the ball in the cross cut to complete the adjustment, followed by 25 yards from the goal and started to bang the goal!
Football is like a meteor flying straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper o'brac threw himself and lifted the ball above the beam with one palm!
All the fans exclaimed!
"O'brac! O'brac, the God of heaven!
This is his second divine save!
Kutinho played the ball impeccably, but he still couldn't pass the obrak level!
To tell the truth, there are absolutely no weak teams in the top four of the Champions League. Each team has its own unique skills, and their players in key positions will not play badly!
Atletico Madrid has also trained many excellent goalkeepers over the years! "
Situ Yunbing breathed out a deep breath. Liverpool really have the strength to dig mountains at home today!
In fact, Atletico Madrid has done very well in defense, especially according to the outbreak of Liverpool after recuperating at home, they can only shoot two threatening shots in 20 minutes and are rejected by their opponents, which is enough to show the defensive strength of Atletico Madrid!
In the 23rd minute of the game, when Eriksson also tried long-range shooting at the front of the restricted area, his football was blocked by GODING.
When the football popped out of the Atletico Madrid restricted area, it was obvious that Liverpool midfielders were taking the initiative!
This is their continuous response strategy after a simple offensive.
What we grasp is the opportunity of continuous attack.
Although Sauer touched the ball first, under the harassment of Cantor, he knocked the ball back to the sideline and passed the ball directly to Gareth Bell who quickly retreated!
Atletico Madrid pass error!
Seeing that Liverpool immediately wanted to seize this opportunity to launch a fast break, Felipe Louis came up and swept down Gareth bell from the consequences!
Tactical foul!
Although the action is very aggressive, but in terms of timing, it is definitely a tactical foul!
The referee punished Atletico Madrid for a foul and showed Felipe Louis a yellow card!
The red army generals are quite disappointed. If they can launch a second attack, the attack threat will be great!
Kutinio's direct free kick was hoisted into the restricted area. Although levandovsky grabbed the football landing point, the football was jacked up!
Atletico Madrid's defence was a little jittery. Simone immediately went to the sideline and made a gesture to slow down the team. Then he went back and sat down.
Atletico Madrid does feel that Liverpool's state has been improving over the past period of time. In fact, at this time, they are easy to be led by their opponents, that is to improve the rhythm accordingly!
But if it goes on like this, it is obviously not conducive to them, so Simone timely reminded the team to wake up like a blow to the head!
Atletico Madrid tried to slow down the pace of the game. Under the pressure of Liverpool's counter attack in the middle and front court, they could only passively attack forward. Carrasco turned the ball from the side to the inside and passed the ball to find Torres before azpiliqueta pressed for it. As a result, Torres stopped the ball under the defensive pressure of Van Dijk, and Kanter walked the ball.
Liverpool tried to launch a fast break to continue to maintain a fast pace, but cork committed a foul when pressing and harassing Eriksson. The referee stopped the game and did not give cork a card. Indeed, his action was not up to the standard of playing cards.
As a result, Atletico Madrid all retreated to defend, Liverpool had no good chance, which completely turned into positional warfare.
Even though situ Yunbing no longer likes Simone, it must be admitted that Simone has done better than Mourinho in shaping the game form with defense.
At least he can make his team show great consistency!
And after Mourinho's fast counter defense in Real Madrid, his pursuit of speed is obviously biased, while his control of the overall rhythm is gradually declining!
What a difficult opponent!
