Football’s First Defender

Liverpool is on the attack!

Although the two sides scored 4 goals against each other in the first half, Liverpool's offensive at that time did not go forward like it is now.

Heynckes didn't know what stimulated Rodgers and the Liverpool players. Just a few minutes into the second half, Rodgers made adjustments on the sidelines, causing the opponent's players to suddenly change from before. He turned into a "tiger going down the mountain" and began to use offense to attack Bayern's defense. For a while, Bayern players were not prepared for such a crazy attack from Liverpool, and they even disrupted Bayern's inherent rhythm. .

Jose Enrique, was suppressed by Bayern throughout the game. In the first half, this side actually had limited assists. Before that, he usually retreated to the defense, taking a breather and rest , but also to guard against Bayern's next wave of impact.

But now, Enrique is attacking forward regardless, further strengthening Liverpool's wing attack strength and increasing Liverpool's receiving points in Bayern's half.

The increase of Liverpool's offensive players in the frontcourt obviously means that Bayern's defense will be under greater pressure.

Even if anyone could see that Liverpool's vast half-court area was guarded by only two central defenders, Yang Feng and Skrtel, but under the suppression of Liverpool's offense, Bayern had no chance to form an effective counterattack for a while.

Fast offense, fast-paced pass conversion, even if the ball is lost, almost all players complete the on-the-spot counterattack in Bayern's frontcourt.

Regardless of physical strength and fouls, the Liverpool players did not allow Bayern to make any substantive counterattack threats during the few minutes of offensive suppression.

Although this was at the expense of two more yellow cards in a short period of time.

However, Liverpool's offensive is like a wave, but it is real.

As for the fans at the scene, seeing the home team attacking hard, they also responded to the players' outstanding performance on the field with louder cheers.

"Liverpool's offense during this period is really too reckless!"

"Rodgers' pass-and-control style of play, under the current Liverpool attack, only sees its spirit, but not its form."

"Liverpool players are passing the ball very quickly, not afraid of mistakes, and not afraid of stealing the ball to create offensive threats."

The joint attack of Sturridge and Enrique on the left did not tear open Bayern's defense.

Enrique, who took the ball, immediately passed it to the center. After Gerrard's transfer, the ball was directly and quickly transferred to the right without delay.

Sterling and Glenn Johnson's side immediately launched an attack, not giving Bayern a chance to readjust their defense, and directly attacked Bayern's side defense regardless.

Sterling used his speed to dribble the ball down to the bottom as a containment force, winning a certain passing space for Glenn Johnson.

Going back to the bottom, Glenn Johnson was already ready to move, facing the ball, directly kicked the ball and passed it into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Suarez and Sturridge competed for the top, but Van Buyten was the first to complete the clearance.

However, Liverpool's excellent pressing has grabbed the second spot on the outside.

Harvey Martinez originally occupied a favorable position to receive the ball, but under Henderson's fierce upper body fight, he failed to stand in his position.

Henderson jumped up and headed the ball directly to where Gerrard was not far away.

Gerrard bent his bow and set an arrow, and directly chose to hit the goal with a long shot.

It's just a pity that although Gerrard suppressed the long shot this time, the angle was still a bit off. The strength was excellent, but it flew out from the upper left corner of the goal.

For Bayern, they want to continue to take the initiative in the game, but they have no good way to face Liverpool's obviously strengthened pressing.

It was clearly an 11-11 game, but the Bayern players felt that the Liverpool players relied on running, as if there was an extra player on the field.

Lahm, who wanted to play the ball in the backcourt, searched for a long time, but was forced to find that there was no player on his own side who could act as a point for the ball.

With a long pass, he had no choice but to pass the ball to Liverpool's half, completing a clearance.

It is true that Liverpool's half-court defensive players are quite empty.

It's just that this kind of aimlessness, more like a long pass for a clearance, without obviously looking for someone, is the most suitable for Yang Feng to use his strengths.

With faster reaction ability and better judgment ability, Yang Feng will definitely reach the landing point faster than Mandzukic next to him when facing this kind of pass, causing damage to the incoming ball.

The tacit understanding between Yang Feng and Skrtel was shown in this ball. Even though Mandzukic followed Yang Feng to the landing point and wanted to force Yang Feng to stop the ball, Yang Feng chose to directly head the ball to Skrtel, allowing Scott Er completes the ball by himself.

After Rogers' change of formation, Liverpool's situation on the field clearly began to prevail, but in the eyes of all professional footballers, Liverpool's playing style at this time was really a bit desperate.

Not one or two players, but Liverpool, apart from the centre-back combination, everyone else is running very aggressively on the pitch.

This kind of running has brought Liverpool absolute control of the ball, allowing Liverpool to perform extremely well on both ends of the offense and defense.

But what about physical fitness?

If we say that in the first half, the two teams faced each other in the early stage, and the fast-paced offense and defense made both sides, after 30 minutes, in a period of fatigue.

So now that Liverpool play like this, there may be severe fatigue feedback in 20 minutes, and by then, Liverpool may have to catch it at home.

Although Rogers on the sidelines decided to give it a go, he would never let the team be powerless to resist at the last moment and raise their hands to surrender.

This desperate style of play, Rogers, did not intend to just drain the physical energy of the players.

only.

"Faster! Work harder! Try to score a goal!"

While observing the situation on the field, Rogers hoped that the team could use this period of suppression to find a way to score goals.

On the one hand, he is also staring at the time, thinking about when to let the team members take a breath and stop consuming physical energy so quickly.

The Liverpool players on the field didn't have so many complicated thoughts. At this time, they just ran desperately to get better offensive opportunities, to create goals, and to prove themselves in front of tens of thousands of fans at home.

"Liverpool's offensive, this time it is mainly on the right."

"After Sterling received the ball, under the defense of Alaba, he was unable to create opportunities on the wing and passed it back to Glenn Johnson!"

"Non-stop ball, direct short pass!"

Glenn Johnson passed the ball directly to Henderson who was attacking.

This time Henderson advanced from the midfield position and achieved a miraculous effect. After receiving the ball, it directly caused some confusion in Bayern's defense.

"Kill to the restricted area!"

"Bayern are quick to defend."

"Henderson chose to play the ball backwards and gave it to the outside of the top of the arc in the penalty area."

"Gerald!"

"Another long-range shot!"

"Bottom line!"

"Blocked by Dante with his body, out of the bottom line!"

"Liverpool's corner!"

Yang Feng and Skrtel once again have to face Bayern's defense with better air defense capabilities.

But this time, Liverpool has 6 players waiting for an opportunity in Bayern's penalty area. The other 4 teammates also shared a certain amount of defensive pressure for Yang Feng and Skrtel.

At the top of the arc in the penalty area, Henderson is responsible for the possible second landing point.

Leaving only two full-backs in the middle to defend and pay for fouls if necessary will also prevent Bayern from counterattacking.

Even if Liverpool may not have the upper hand in the high-point competition, the Liverpool players still hope to take advantage of their numerical advantage to create a greater threat in the penalty area.

Before serving, Gerrard deliberately made an "eight" action, which should be a fixed corner kick tactics for Liverpool.

"Gerrard's corner taken!"

"Yang Feng and Skrtel have already rushed to the front at the same time!"

Bayern's defense line is very closely guarded against Yang Feng and Skatel, the two high points. Van Buyten and Dante keep a close watch on the two central defenders of Liverpool.

"Neuer strikes!"

"etc!"

"Lucas in the middle!"

"Header!"

"The ball went in!"

"Liverpool are ahead!"

"Leading 3 to 2!"

"Neuer made a mistake! A big gift to Liverpool!"
