Football’s First Defender

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made adjustments in personnel, and the respective head coaches were prepared to stick to their respective styles of play, hoping that the players could use their performance to occupy a greater advantage on the field.

For Bayern, the adjustment of the intermission time is very effective. Even though Liverpool is more willing to use offense to prove themselves at home, the Bayern players still use more active pressing to complete the possession of the ball after replenishing a certain amount of physical fitness. conversion.

Kroos sent a long ball over the top of the midfield, directly and comfortably found Mandzukic who went forward quickly.

In order to avoid Yang Feng's interception, Kroos made a long pass and found a position slightly to the right, the open position between Yang Feng and Enrique, and a large amount of advance, so that the ball landed first and then slowed down, and it was still close The position of Mandzukic's right foot is convenient for Mandzukic, who can directly attack without slowing down and stopping the ball.

Although he couldn't directly complete the interception in the first time, Yang Feng was able to quickly rush to the landing area through his judgment on the landing point and prepare for defensive response.

Although Mandzukic was running in an advantageous position and blocked Yang Feng's forward route, what Yang Feng did first was to control his defensive position relative to Mandzukic in order to deal with Mandzukic's next attack .

There is no blind grab, just the most reasonable response.

After unloading the ball, Mandzukic did not have the idea of ​​directly challenging to enter the penalty area under Yang Feng's defense. He just wanted to break through and complete a pass, but he was still in Yang Feng's defensive plan.

Mandzukic accelerated to a position close to the bottom line, trying to complete a pass directly in the fast dribble, but the passing route was tightly blocked by Yang Feng.

Yang Feng had almost leaned his body on Mandzukic before, but in the process of quickly descending, after ensuring that Mandzukic had no room for an emergency stop and change of direction, Yang Feng decisively fell to the ground and shoveled directly. The pass space that was intentionally leaked before was completely blocked, forming a perfect block this time.

Corner chance for Bayern.

Cross's pass, this time, was judged to be right by Yang Feng, and did not pose any threat, so Yang Feng stepped directly to the side.

Although the Bayern players controlled the second landing point, under the rapid press of the Liverpool players, Bayern was unable to organize an effective attack for a while, and the first wave of offensive in the second half ended here.

The initiative after the start of the second half of the game is still in the hands of Bayern in the away game. This is not only a gap in player ability, but also a gap in the maturity of the team's tactical system.

As the top team in the European arena in recent years, the Bayern team, with the German international as the backbone, is paired with a large number of top stars from other countries. In the past few seasons, Shanghai Inks has been training for a long time in tactics.

Today's Bayern is indeed at the peak of the team.

On the other hand, Liverpool, since the coaching change this season, the team is in a period of tactical turmoil. It is only recently that Rodgers has found a balance between offense and defense by purchasing Sturridge, allowing the team just now. There is a point to end turmoil, and there is a tendency for a steady tactic.

So even though the strength of many players in the Liverpool team is not bad, but without the support of a more mature offensive and defensive system compared to Bayern, the players still lack sufficient tacit understanding. Facing today's Bayern, they are at a disadvantage It is also natural.

Now Liverpool only occupy the advantage of the home court, and they can still parry one or two in the game. When they go to the Allianz Arena in the second round and play at the opponent's door, Liverpool may have to bear even greater difficulties.

On the basis of the existing personnel, Bayern still carried out more abundant changes in tactics. In the first half, Mandzukic, who was always in the middle position as Bayern's attacking bridgehead, suddenly chose to move from the side to the right position, and finished with Thomas Muller. transposition.

Bayern's transposition adjustment this time created a strange feeling for Liverpool's defense.

Skrtel has to adapt to Muller's more spooky running position, while Enrique on the wing has to bear the pressure brought by Mandzukic's stronger physical confrontation.

The direction of Bayern's main attack on the right remains unchanged. When Schweinsteiger advances this time and echoes with the right.

Enrique's defense, once again under constant pressure from Bayern, was overcome.

The attack on the right has achieved results. With the help of his teammates, Mandzukic broke through Enrique's defense and had an easier passing environment, sending a precise pass to his teammates.

Without directly passing the ball to the players who outflanked the goal, Mandzukic chose an inverted triangle to pass the ball to the penalty area line on the right.

Harvey Martinez followed up and hit the goal from the midfield, which directly threatened the goal guarded by Reina. Fortunately, Reina's reaction was quick, and Martinez's shot was still a bit positive. Reina completed the save and caught the ball .

Bayern's proactive attack still made it difficult for Liverpool to parry. Rodgers on the sidelines saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

The strength of Bayern had been expected before the game, but in the game, after the real match against Bayern, Rogers understood the horror of Bayern's real offensive firepower.

So far in the game, Heynckes has used the main offensive tactics of attacking from the right, but he has been in a state of suppression when facing Liverpool's constantly adjusting defense.

Robben hasn't stepped up yet, Ribery's left side has not been opened yet, and even Alaba on the left side is now dragged behind the defense and does not participate in the offense to a large extent. Liverpool is still at a disadvantage in the face of Bayern's offensive.

The cheering and cheering of the fans at Anfield has continued, and the voices of tens of thousands of Red Army fans made Rodgers feel deeply on the sidelines.

From being the coach of an ordinary team to becoming the leader of a traditional giant in England like Liverpool, Rodgers enjoys the feeling of playing under the watchful eyes of more fans.

But now, Rodgers also has to take the responsibility of leading the team to become better.

Think of the attitude of the management towards the Champions League within the team before the game. It is good to let go of the two rounds of the game. It is certainly a pleasure to be promoted, but if you are eliminated, it may not be a good thing that you can focus on the domestic league afterwards.

Rogers completely let go of the burden in his heart. No matter what the result is, since the team is at a disadvantage in terms of overall strength, then just dare to fight!

Give it a go, even if the team is not behind now, it is still a tie, but what Rogers thinks at this time is to give it a go at home.

"attack!"

In the midfield, Rodgers actually arranged a tactic for the team to try to regain the initiative in the second half, but Bayern's efforts in the second half were more obvious, and they actually suppressed Liverpool.

So at this time, Rogers is the time to remove the defensive shackles from the players. He wants the players to use their full strength to attack, rely on offense to make up for the lack of defense, and rely on offense to gain the initiative.

Instead of thinking about how to make defensive adjustments that are not good at Bayern's offense, it is better to strive for the initiative of offense, replace defense with offense, and rely on the best offense to force Bayern and weaken your own attack power.

Rogers lowered the defensive requirements and focused on strengthening the offensive thinking changes, which won the hearts of the players on the court. It's over, and everyone is tortured enough by Bayern's offense, and they don't want to be tortured to death by Bayern like this.

The gap in strength between the two sides makes it possible for Bayern to create more opportunities than Liverpool in positional battles when both sides have stabilized their defense first.

But now, the main offense is good, and the fast-paced offense is good.

There is no need to estimate the tactics, and there is no need to hesitate to return to the defense. All the offense is the top priority, that is, to launch a better offense during the game to force Bayern to shrink the defense.

Corresponding to the crazy attack, Liverpool will also form a large-scale on-the-spot press in the midfield to intercept and slow down Bayern's counterattack.

However, the emptiness in the backcourt is inevitable, so Yang Feng and the others can only do their best.

Even if it is really pierced by Bayern's counterattack, Rogers' goal in the last half is very clear at this time, and that will make Liverpool stand and die at home even if they lose the game!
