Football’s First Defender

Yang Feng missed the chance to win the game.

However, with so many people crowded together in the restricted area, it is also a reality that Yang Feng could not successfully get rid of it.

Not long ago, Van Buyten made a mistake once. This time, although he couldn't completely restrict Yang Feng's running position, he did use himself to quickly follow up the defense, forming a large enough defensive impact on Yang Feng.

At the moment when Yang Feng hit the goal with a header, it was Van Buyten's sideways body confrontation after he kept following, which affected Yang Feng's body balance.

Although Yang Feng still tried his best to touch the football and completed the header, but the angle of the header he imagined was not enough.

This ball, in terms of strength, is still good, but it is within Neuer's defensive range.

Neuer made a side throw, holding the ball firmly in his arms with both hands, and then fell to the ground to press the football, ensuring that there would be no mistakes.

The 4 minutes of stoppage time of the game have passed. As Neuer made a big kick, the referee also directly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In the end, when Liverpool fell behind by two goals in the away game, they stubbornly equalized the score in the second half, and almost directed a classic reversal in the Champions League again.

However, in the last offensive and defensive round, it was still poorly planned and failed to complete the lore in the away game.

Bayern narrowly qualified for the promotion.

After the match, at the Allianz Arena, the fans of the two teams gave continuous applause to the two teams and praised the wonderful performance of the two teams.

As for Bayern, when they went around the field to celebrate the cheering and encouragement of the fans, all Liverpool members did not leave the field in a hurry. Instead, they came to the away stand area of ​​the Liverpool fans to express their highest regards to the die-hard fans who accompanied the team on the expedition. homage to...

With a score of 5 to 5 in the two rounds and two high-scoring draws, Liverpool did not lose the game, but only lost an away goal.

Liverpool's wonderful performance in the two games was not only affirmed by the winner Bayern after the game, but also recognized by many media.

Being able to play back and forth with such a powerful Bayern team, many people are full of hope for this young Liverpool team. Of course, the premise is that Liverpool can retain these young people.

According to many gossip, many giants have coveted these young people from Liverpool.

It is indeed a pity that Liverpool stopped in the top 16, which made many Red Army fans a little unwilling. After all, it was only one goal away, and the way of losing was too useless.

Perhaps for the recovery period, they can win the Champions League, and Liverpool fans did not expect too much, but everyone still hopes that Liverpool can prove themselves in the European competition, regain their former glory, and prove that they are still in the Champions League. , the most outstanding Premier League team.

The results of the first round of the knockout round were indeed not that impressive.

But in the following matches, Bayern used their strong performance and used an alternative method to help Liverpool rectify their name.

In the quarter-finals, Bayern, who had previously faced Liverpool and passed through danger, used two clean 2-0 home and away rounds to eliminate the Serie A overlord with a 4-goal advantage. "Old Lady" Juventus swept away The haze of the previous game against Liverpool.

In the subsequent semi-finals, facing the giant fleet that also dominated La Liga, Barcelona and Bayern 4-0 at home and 3-0 away, completely crushing Barcelona's defense and giving Barcelona the title of "Hedy".

The indomitable Bayern, and then in the German national derby in the Champions League final, also had a huge advantage, defeated Dortmund 2-1, successfully won the cup, and won the most important championship honor as the "universe benevolence" get.

At the end of the UEFA Champions League season, everyone looked back and saw Bayern's winning process in the knockout rounds. Only then did they know that only Liverpool faced Bayern and fought against each other, and scored two draws.

Although a football game is not a simple comparison of statistics, it is undeniable that Liverpool's strength, based on their performance against Bayern, is definitely a display of the strength of Europe's top giants.

It is precisely because of the two matches of equal strength between Liverpool and Bayern that everyone was unanimously optimistic about Liverpool's prospects in the new season with most of the main lineup retained before the start of the new season.

Of course, all this is something to say. For the Liverpool players who have just been eliminated by Bayern, they are always a little unwilling. After all, they can advance to the top 8 with only a small difference.

If there is one less goal conceded at home, or if the away game can play better, then it should be the Liverpool players who are celebrating the victory now.

But this may be the price of being young. These young people in Liverpool need these defeats to grow up quickly and fight hard for future honors.

The Liverpool soldiers who returned to England got a day of rest. They can use this day to adjust themselves and completely forget all the unsatisfactory things in the Champions League.

After Liverpool, there will be only one sprint goal of the Premier League.

It doesn't matter if you can't go further in the Champions League, but if you want to make a breakthrough in the Champions League next year, the premise is of course to win the Champions League qualification for this season.

Afterwards, the team used crosses from the side to avoid Yang Feng's defense zone and focused on the side of Carragher, who started the game. Forward Rich Lambert scored with a header and took a 2-goal lead at halftime.

After taking the lead, Southampton used all members to retreat and defend to defend Liverpool's impact on the two wings, so that Liverpool's offense throughout the game did not play its own offensive style.

Then in the 78 minutes of the second half, Southampton tried many counterattack opportunities and finally reaped the results.

For the team's counterattack, Pochettino strictly ordered to avoid Yang Feng's side. Although the team missed many opportunities to create threats, it also completely dragged down Carragher's side.
