Football No. 10: God's Perspective

Although Liverpool's defensive players bounced away at the fastest speed and quickly blocked the loopholes in the wing defense, Wang Po was too fast.

3 seconds, just three seconds, Dortmund No. 11 brought the ball to the bottom line.

Kuhn was already in ambush in the penalty area.

Wang Po swung his legs and deliberately pulled a big arc ball to the back point.

High tower, fulcrum.

Tuchel's careful arrangement before the game played a role in this attack.

Kuhn jumped high like a mountain and headed the ball at close range. This time, Alisson was no longer magical and could not stop the ball from entering the net.

The game was good.

Dortmund equalized the score under extremely unfavorable circumstances.

Looking back at Dortmund's goal, it was more of a man-made disaster than a natural disaster. Of course, Kuhn's strengths and the natural advantage of height and header could not delay it, but letting Wang Po hold the ball freely on the wing was purely due to Liverpool's lack of concentration.

The head coach Klopp slapped his thigh with regret on the sidelines.

This goal could have been avoided.

Liverpool had the absolute initiative on the field, and being equalized by the opponent in this way was a huge blow to morale.

After losing the ball, Liverpool's attack swept in like an overwhelming force again.

The wing attack was like a sharp bayonet, piercing Dortmund's defense line with holes.

After Mane on the left, he swerved and passed the ball to Firmino who was waiting near the edge of the penalty area. The latter passed the ball to Salah who was advancing without stopping.

The roundabout running at the back point made the Dortmund defenders have no gap at all to the existence of the "Egyptian Pharaoh". When they found out, Salah had already formed a single knife opportunity to face the goalkeeper on the right. Schmelzer rushed out to block the shooting angle as much as possible.

"Puff"

This time, Salah chose to volley.

Schmelzer was highly focused and saved the ball from the bottom line.

Schmelzer, who successfully saved the ball, stared with his eyes wide open, like King Kong, raising his arms and roaring, cheering himself up.

Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity, Arnold took the penalty, the ball was kicked out, Mane went around the front point, rubbed the ball to the back point, and the tall central defender Van Dijk, who was lying in ambush, raised his violent header like a fire burning the sky.

Schmelzer made a save action completely relying on his subconscious reaction to drag the ball out of the crossbar when the header was close at hand.

Didn't this ball go in?

The eyes of the Liverpool players were full of disbelief. Van Dijk, who missed the almost certain chance to score, held his head with both hands and pounded the ground with his fists, full of regret.

At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily tied 1-1

Although there were only two goals, the situation in this half was very exciting, and both sides showed their sharp side in attack.

The fans of both teams were nervous and the air was suffocating.

"Brighton, you are responsible for man-to-man defense, keep an eye on Firmino on the opposite side."

In the locker room, Tuchel held the tactical board and told the team's midfielder.

At the front of the penalty area, Firmino's control of the ball is a huge hidden danger. The back-and-forth dispatch and penetrating passes all pose a huge threat to the defense.

The reason why Liverpool's sharp attack on both sides cannot be contained even with heavy defense on the wing is the existence of Firmino.

In terms of finishing ability, this Brazilian center is slightly inferior to his teammates Mane and Salah, but in terms of reading the game and dispatching the ball, he is still a step ahead in this aspect.

It is precisely because of Firmino's left and right dispatch that Dortmund's defense is distracted. As long as he, the ball transfer station, is strangled, Liverpool's wing attack will be killed on one side, and at that time, more and more defensive centers will be tilted.

Whether it is you Mane, Arnold combination or Salah, Robertson combination will be drowned in the human sea tactics of the Hornets.

Tuchel saw this and was willing to replace this point with a tactic of exchanging a child.

If Firmino is strangled, Liverpool's attack will be paralyzed by at least 1/3.

"You are within reach of the championship, don't leave any regrets."

As the players were about to leave the locker room, Tuchel said affectionately and slowly.

"Dortmund, fight."

Wang Po was the first to shout.

"Dortmund, fight!"

All the players of Dortmund responded to the call, with high morale and high spirits.

At this point, there are only 45 minutes left, there is no reason to retreat, fight, grab, the top of Europe is just one step away.

All members fight.

"Beep~!"

The referee blew a whistle and the second half of the game began.

Judging from the scene, Dortmund, who is weaker in the draw, can accept this result.

On the contrary, Liverpool, who are stronger in overall strength, are not satisfied with the draw. In their opinion, scoring at least 3 goals in the first half is a normal result.

But, there is no if in football games.

At the beginning of the second half, Liverpool continued to attack.

Brighton followed Tuchel's tactical arrangement and followed Firmino around like a shadow, inseparable.

Facing a strong and energetic midfielder's close defense, Firmino's energy was mostly wasted in competing with the opponent.

And having someone following him from beginning to end was also a great trouble for his handling of the ball.

The effect was immediate, and Liverpool's transfer of the ball began to be unsmooth.

This greatly slowed down Dortmund's defensive pressure.

If you can defend, the next step is to attack.

Brighton made a smart move and intercepted Mane's pass to Firmino. Seeing Wang Po on the wing waving for a request, he made a long pass and directly gave Wang Po a head start.

started.

Liverpool's right back Alexander-Arnold's previous attack was inserted into the frontcourt and was not in a defensive position at all.

After Wang Po turned around and accelerated, it was smooth sailing.

Of course, as an experienced central defender, Van Dijk has already noticed the shortcomings of this defense, moved in advance, and got stuck in advance.

Both sides got stuck in position almost at the same time.

Physical confrontation.

Facing the Dutchman who is 1.93 meters tall and weighs 92 kilograms, Wang Po was crushed in terms of absolute strength.

But tell me that running against each other will not only test the dead strength, but also the core strength.

After making physical contact with Van Dyke, Wang Po took a big step and gained control of the ball.

Emergency stop, emergency start.

Facing the change of rhythm of the ball holder, Van Dijk appeared to be very experienced and did not hesitate at all. He always maintained pressure on Wang Po, which made him very uncomfortable.

Just when he was about to be driven to the bottom line by Van Dyke and lose more offensive options, Wang Po suddenly flicked his ankle and chose to pass through his crotch.

The ball passed, but the man did not.

As the world's No. 1 central defender, Van Dijk was very shameless when someone went through the wicket. Of course, more important than losing face was that the goal was in danger and he could only commit a foul in desperation.
