Chapter 957

At Anfield, the starters of Liverpool and Juventus have held a pre match kick-off ceremony on the pitch, and the two teams have a formulaic pre match handshake.

Although this is the etiquette of competitive sports, Liverpool and Juventus players absolutely want to kill each other!

So there's no goodwill at all.

"Good evening, dear viewers. Welcome to Anfield stadium, Liverpool, England. In this great stadium, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will be staged. The defending champion Liverpool will play Juventus at home!

In the first leg a week ago, Juventus drew 2-2 with Liverpool. It can be said that the defending champion still has a certain advantage.

When Liverpool were full of injured soldiers, they were able to withdraw from the Juventus arena, which was indeed widely praised by the European media.

If Juventus want to advance to the Champions League final, they must win a victory at Anfield today, or at least draw 3-3 or more to eliminate Liverpool!

Liverpool's goal is relatively simple. Winning at home will certainly qualify for the Champions League final!

Both teams are still leaders in the Premier League and Serie A. Liverpool has only two points ahead, but there are only two rounds left in the league.

Juventus are seven points ahead of Roma, but they will have a direct dialogue with Roma at the coming weekend, but now Juventus will certainly not think so much. They will focus on this Champions League semi-final!

Well, let's look at the starting lineup of the two teams today.

Liverpool at home started 433

Goalkeeper: telstegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, benatia, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Eriksson, Camero.

Forwards: mbape, VALDI, Gareth bell.

Liverpool's starting lineup remains the same as it was a week ago.

Juventus start today 352

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defenders: Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini.

Midfield: Alves, pianic, dibala, Marchisio, Sandro.

Forwards: Higuain, manjukic.

Juventus' starting lineup has not changed from a week ago.

It can be seen that both teams put out their strongest lineup as much as possible to play in the Champions League semi-finals of these two rounds!

Let's wait and see who will win! "

Situ Yunbing and Allegri stood in the coach's command area on the sideline. They were absorbed in waiting for the start of the game. This confrontation was a contest between the two as coaches on the highest standard stage, which can be called a peak duel.

Liverpool took the lead in kicking off the ball amid the overwhelming cheers at Anfield.

After the kick-off, Liverpool launched an attack immediately. Robertson quickly ran to the front left. After receiving the pass from Casimiro, he immediately hit the wall with Gareth bell to break through Alves' defense area, and then passed the ball.

Waldi encircled and received in the restricted area, Bonucci defended in place and cleared the perimeter first.

After the football was cleared, piyanic was grabbed by Eriksson and took the lead in breaking the ball. Eriksson took control of the ball and knocked the ball back to Henderson, who sent a close to the ground oblique pass. The football rolled to the right in front of the restricted area. After mbape took the ball, Cruyff turned around to make Sandro grab the air, but when he turned to break through Chiellini, the ball was too big, As a result, when catching up with the football, the starting shooting angle was narrow. The football he reluctantly shot flew directly to the near corner of the goal, and Buffon smoothly blocked the near corner of the goal and hugged the ball.

Liverpool fans applauded.

"Liverpool played a very strong offensive after the opening!

Compared with the Juventus arena a week ago, Liverpool's attack on the left is obviously much more active. Robertson's active participation in the front attack can well help Liverpool make more changes in the front line. "

When it was Juventus' turn to attack, they did not procrastinate. Even in the away game, Juventus showed almost the same positive attitude and strong state as a week ago.

When Marchisio scored a goal in the backcourt and crossed the front left, situ Yunbing looked dignified on the sidelines.

Because he saw that dibala came to the left to meet, while Sandro quickly pushed forward, and pianci approached this side, Juventus showed the tactical suppression of attacking the left from the beginning!

Allegri doesn't want Juventus to lose the final tickets on the road, so no matter what Liverpool's playing style is today, anyway, Juventus is going black today and trying to break Liverpool's right defense!

Even if Henderson helped defend Arnold's front area, Arnold still failed to block Sandro with the cooperation of dibala, pianicki and Sandro's fast triangular cross.

It can be seen that Juventus have obviously invested a lot of troops in the left attack.

Higuain and manjukic went into the penalty area to receive Sandro's Cross.

This makes van Dijk and benatia have to win in defense!

Otherwise, Liverpool's goal can hardly stop the opponent's attack!

Fortunately, Sandro's Cross was not high enough and was successfully cleared by Van Dijk directly in front of the restricted area!

Juventus all back to defense!

Situ Yunbing saw this scene, his mouth raised a smile and passed away.

It seems that Allegri is not considering the top battle with Rome at the weekend!

That's right!

Only then can we have the consciousness of decisive battle!

Cast aside all concerns, just for a fierce battle in front of you!

Van Dijk's football was controlled by mbape on the right side of the midfield. Marchisio rushed towards him quickly. Mbape calmly knocked the ball back to Henderson. The latter did not make adjustment and passed it directly to the front left!

Gareth bell rushed to the front left and stopped the ball at his feet when the football went out of the sideline. Alves rushed up and was about to close down. Gareth bell immediately knocked the ball back.

Robertson was about to kill half a court at almost the same time!

Juventus bombarded Liverpool on the right today, and Liverpool also unremittingly attacked Juventus on the right!

Situ Yunbing and Allegri want to go together!

Now it depends on which of the two teams can tear the opponent's defense first!

Robertson kept changing to the inside line, disrupting Juventus' defensive deployment. Marchisio quickly returned to the middle, and mbape quickly followed up from the right.

Alves middle road plans to intercept Robertson at the first time!

Because pianci didn't defend so fast and Marchisio seemed out of reach, Alves naturally wanted to buy time for Marchisio to withdraw to the guard line.

Robertson sent the ball obliquely to the road outside the restricted area when Alves hit two meters ahead.

Gareth bell cut inside at an average speed, and balzari is also ready to intercept him.

But what was unexpected was that Gareth bell suddenly accelerated at the moment of touching the ball!

Even people with the ball forced to overtake and break through in front of balzari!

Balzari didn't have time to turn around and didn't have a chance to foul!

Just before Gareth bell came to the bottom line of the restricted area, Bonucci ran to block the line he continued to cross, and Chiellini came to the middle of the goal to mark VALDI.

Gareth bell didn't hesitate to send out an inverted triangle pass!

Mbape rushed into the middle of the restricted area, swayed the ball out of the angle and started to play the reverse line!

The football flew to the far corner of the goal. When everyone thought that the ball was bound to score, Buffon flew like a God to save the ball with one palm out of the bottom line!

Mbape looked up and breathed out.

After all, he is facing Buffon. He needs more cunning shooting!

"Buffon! Buffon blocked mbape's shot!

Liverpool have played a wonderful match with this goal. The speed of fast attack is very fast, and Robertson's assists are also very firm. When Gareth bell broke through Barzagli, we can see Gareth Bell's lightning fast explosion and strong eating ability at the peak!

Then Gareth Bell's passing was just right, and mbape's passing the ball and adjusting one step was also very threatening, but Buffon saved Juventus at the critical moment!

But next time?

Can you still rely on Buffon? "

Liverpool opened a tactical corner and Henderson tried a long-range shot from the periphery, but it was too far!

After Juventus opened the goal, they quickly pushed forward to the front court.

Pianci suddenly started a long pass just past midfield.

The football flew to the left outside the Liverpool restricted area.

Manjojic pulled to the sideline and used his physical advantage to block Arnold behind him. Then the header was ferried to dibala who took the initiative to meet him. After stopping, the Argentine star shifted the ball to pass Henderson's counter grab interception, and then sent a foot straight to the outer line of the left rib of the restricted area.

Manjukic turned and cut inside after the header ferry. Arnold had no way to take him because of his physical confrontation advantage.

Situ Yunbing looked dignified. Although Juventus attacked the left side, they did not attack it rigidly. There were more changes in cooperation and changes than in the first round.

In addition to Sandro's assist threat, manjukic's active side pulling can definitely play a local advantage!

However, when manjukic cut the ball, his defense against van Dijk lacked enough flexibility and breakthrough skills to keep him on the offensive.

Finally, he was stabbed by Van Dijk when he wanted to adjust the ball!

Dibala touched the ball first outside the restricted area, made a cross cut and then blew out a long-range shot!

The football flew straight to the far corner of the goal, which definitely made the Red Army fans nervous. Tersten flew to save after moving quickly. Only after watching the football fly out of the bottom line against the outside of the far post, all the Red Army players and fans were relieved!

Dibala grinned with regret.

"Dibala's sudden long-range shot almost scored for Juventus!

It's a tiny difference!

If you can close a little more towards the goal, the ball will be!

Juventus' offensive threat is not bad. The two teams are inseparable. It depends on who can take the lead in scoring! "
