Football’s First Defender

The corner kick tactic sent by Gerrard is a very high arc, but Gerrard exerts a greater rotational force when the ball is released.

In the penalty area, such a high ball is definitely an excellent opportunity for the goalkeeper to come out and take advantage of the height to get the ball or hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Seeing the high ball passed by this kick, Neuer decisively chose to attack, which is nothing more than normal.

It's just that, for one thing, Gerrard's delivery of the ball is quite confusing. After the ball is delivered, it does look like a straight up and down high ball, but the rotation applied makes the ball fall very fast, similar to On a curveball, after climbing to a high point, it quickly fell inside the penalty area.

Secondly, Yang Feng and Skrtel's scrambling for the front point made Bayern's defense line follow them to block the front point position. After all, Liverpool only have these two high points, and Bayern is in the set-piece defense. , regards the defense of the two as the top priority.

But the defensive and offensive players are concentrated close to the front point, which seriously affects Neuer's own attack line.

The path of Neuer's accelerated take-off was strictly blocked by the huge body of his own central defender Van Buyten, and the ball suddenly fell rapidly, which forced Neuer to give up his original plan to hit the ball, and could only choose The attack stopped halfway, ready to complete the next save on the spot.

It's just that Neuer underestimated the falling speed of the ball, and couldn't distinguish the specific position on the field in an instant. In terms of position selection, Neuer did block the ball after it fell. The point where the ball hits the goal is directly in front of it.

It's just that no Liverpool player has had time to catch up with the best kick point to hit the goal!

The Bayern soldiers, who were in a state of man-to-man defense, also emptied this small area without Liverpool players.

The ball fell into the penalty area so quickly and bounced off the ground.

Neuer's attack stopped halfway, and Bayern's penalty area became very chaotic in an instant, so that some defensive players of Bayern, who did not know where it was, subconsciously chose to retreat to the goal after Neuer's attack to help Neuer defend a certain amount. Empty door.

It's just that the player at the back didn't pay attention to where the ball landed, so he subconsciously chose to retreat to the goal, but the middle area where the ball bounced and bounced was completely empty, and there was no one to defend it.

Suarez made a full circle, came to the middle, and managed to get rid of his defender.

In a relatively empty position, no one actually interfered with Suarez's defense.

Suarez didn't even take off. Facing the half-high ball that bounced off the ground, Suarez had enough time and made sufficient preparations.

Even if there are two Bayern defensive players standing in front of the goal, but without the defense of goalkeeper Neuer, most of the empty goal and two Bayern players will definitely not be able to form a complete block.

Suarez aimed at the very center of the goal, leaving no room for defensive players.

With enough preparation time for this header, Suarez controlled it perfectly and flew directly into the net from the empty space in the center.

Liverpool took their first lead of the game at home.

3 to 2, this big score game finally ushered in the fifth goal in the second half.

The cheers and loud singing of the fans filled the Anfield stadium. Even if the game is not over, the fans are still singing praises for their heroes.

"Don't panic! No problem! There's still enough time!"

At the critical moment, Lahm became the best leader of Bayern. He first comforted Neuer, who had some problems with the previous corner kick, and then used the limited time to continuously boost the morale of his teammates on the field.

"We are Bayern Munich! We are the overlord of Germany! We are behind, just catch up! Everyone is patiently dealing with the next game..."

Bayern regrouped and wanted to regain the initiative, but Liverpool was full of momentum and did not immediately save their energy and reduce their running strength after scoring a goal.

Instead, under Rogers' signal, Liverpool continued to maintain a suppressive force for a few minutes, and immediately suppressed Bayern's counterattack immediately after losing the ball.

As an experienced coach, Heynckes was not too anxious even though he was one goal behind in the away game.

He is very satisfied with Lahm's behavior on the field. What Bayern needs at this time is calmness and stability, not anxiety.

Seeing that Liverpool has prevented Bayern from attacking again and again, Heynckes has not made substitutions and adjustments, and has not let the team go all out to attack. Now is not the time.

Heynckes is biding his time, waiting for Liverpool's own problems to emerge.

Physical problems have the most obvious impact on veterans. Although the Liverpool team has done a good job in rejuvenating the team, captain Gerrard is also an absolute veteran in the team that no one can replace.

You can't deny Gerrard's love for the Liverpool team, and you can't underestimate Gerrard's tenacity on the court. For Liverpool's victory, Gerrard can grit his teeth and endure the fatigue of his body, but No matter how strong the heart is, it can't resist the physiological feedback.

Fatigue is unavoidable for Gerrard as the game progresses. Maybe Gerrard is still using his mental strength to run himself, but his running speed still inevitably drops.

"The opportunity is here!"

Heynckes on the sidelines keenly sensed that Gerrard's pace was disordered, and called the warm-up substitutes. Bayern will start its own offensive in the last 20 minutes.

Gerrard's physical problems will be a signal. In the second half, Liverpool players will run at such a high intensity, and there will inevitably be more and more players who are physically weak. This is how Bayern used passive beatings in the second half. It's a good time for you.

Although Rodgers has already asked the players to retreat to the half court to defend in order to save energy when the score is leading at this time, whether the team can survive the final stage depends entirely on Bayern's own offense. By risking their lives, they have already gained an advantage, but whether it can be transformed into a victory depends entirely on the contest in the final stage of the game.

"Bayern finally made the first substitution adjustment today."

"Roben came off the bench, Schweinsteiger came off the bench, cut down a midfielder, let Robben play back to the right position, and put Muller on the front line, further forming an offensive suppression on the right. force."

"Heynckes directly changed to a 442 lineup, further strengthening the team's offensive firepower."

Heynckes' first substitution adjustment was obviously aimed at Liverpool's left defense, and there was no better substitute player to come on.

Today, Bayern's pre-match goal is to fight to the end on the right, completely penetrate Liverpool's side defense, and form an absolute suppressive force in the audience.

Rogers also knows that Jose Enrique's defense has consumed a lot of physical energy after encountering consecutive impacts in the previous game, and while Liverpool maintained their offensive suppression in the second half, it actually let Jose Enrique's physical energy To make matters worse.

But no one can adjust, but it is also the reality of Liverpool's wing defense today. The young Wisdom must not be allowed to withstand the devastation of Europe's top wing offensive players!

Seeing the adjustments made by Bayern, Rogers quickly completed his substitutions.

In terms of defense, Downing, who is more excellent in defense, came on the field to replace Sturridge on the left, strengthened the protection of Jose Enrique's front, and further tightened the team's midfield, leaning towards his side. On the left side of Enrique, to limit the possible impact of Robben.

As for Gerrard, who consumes the most physical energy, Rogers can only let him continue for a while temporarily. Compared with others, Rogers still believes in the stabilizing effect of a veteran like Gerrard at this time.

When it came to Tang Ning, although Tang Ning was strong and fast enough, facing Robben's breakthrough, it was still difficult for Tang Ning to form an effective limit.

In Robben's first attack on this side, he used his strong personal ability to complete a signature inward cut to the goal, but the foot feel was not very good, and the ball was a bit off.

When the defensive effect was not very good, Rogers quickly transferred veteran Carragher to play three central defenders, and when Bayern could create opportunities on the wing, he tried his best to lock Bayern's support point in the middle.

Moreover, Carragher's appearance can better liberate Yang Feng from the defensive task of the central defender, allowing Yang Feng to make better defensive supplements.

Both sides are dispatching troops, and it depends on whether they can show their best selves in the final stage of the game and achieve the desired result of the game!
