After the start of the second half, neither side made any personnel adjustments.

Both Greeman and Mandzukic are still on the court.

Su Han is still on the left side, suppressing Greeman.

Greeman was more involved in defense in the second half, but he himself was not good at defense, so he participated back, except for one more person, it didn't have much effect.

In the offense, Greeman took the ball by himself, which also greatly affected Atletico Madrid's offensive efficiency.

On the contrary, Mandzukic suddenly became active.

In addition to helping the defense, Mandzukic has more energy to devote to the offense.

After all, Liverpool's offensive here is not too strong. Sanchez can't compare with Su Han in any aspect. With Mandzukic's ability, Sanchez can't suppress him.

So everyone soon discovered that Atletico Madrid's most threatening attack no longer came from the feet of Greeman, but from the feet of Mandzukic...

Mandzukic's way of participating in the offense is to bury his head and run all the way with the ball, but pay more attention to the cooperation with his teammates.

When the football reaches his feet, he will pass the football very quickly.

Unless the opportunity is particularly good, he won't run with the ball himself.

Especially near the Liverpool penalty area, the number of his passes has increased significantly.

This is what a center forward does.

"Mandzukic's activeness is really unexpected. You must know that his offensive performance in the first half was as invisible..."

"Yeah, the most active player in Atletico Madrid in the first half was Greeman, not him. But when Greeman was suppressed by Su Han, now Mandzukic is active again

Even Atletico Madrid's head coach Simeone was a little surprised. After seeing Mandzukic's performance, he got up from his seat, walked to the sidelines, and then stared at Mandzukic.

In the 51st minute, Mandzukic suddenly gave the ball to Cork at the front of the penalty area. Cork shot from outside the penalty area, forcing Mignolet to make a beautiful save.

"Oh! Amazing! After Liverpool's goal, Mignolet has been relaxed for a long time, and now we see him make a wonderful save...but it shows that Atletico Madrid's attack is on!"

"Mandzukic's sudden pass after the breakthrough caught Liverpool's defense a little off guard-they thought Mandzukic was going to continue to dribble the ball to the bottom line..."

The telecast began with a close-up of Mandzukic, who was yelling something at Cork, and from his gestures, he seemed to be telling Cork to come closer...

"You need to get closer to me!"

That's exactly what Mandzukic told Cork.

"In this way, it will be less difficult for me to pass the ball, and we can continue to cooperate better!"

Kirk froze for a moment, then nodded.

Mandzukic's sudden activity made Liverpool's defense tighten up again.

This greatly exceeded the expectations of Liverpool. They thought that after Su Han suppressed Gleeman, Liverpool's defense should be safe.

So during this time, Liverpool played quite passively.

And in the 63rd minute, their goal was declared lost.

After Mandzukic responded to his teammate's pass in the middle, he directly sent an over-the-top pass.

Raul Garcia goes in diagonally, catches the ball behind the Liverpool back line, turns and hits!

The football flew directly into the far corner of the goal, goalkeeper Mignolet didn't react at all, just watched the football fly into the goal he was guarding

"Oh! Oh-oh! Atlético equalized! 1:1! Raul Garcia!!"

When Andy Gray said this, everyone could hear how frustrated he was.

With great difficulty, Liverpool took the lead, and the result is now allowing Atletico Madrid to equalize the score.

"Actually, before the goal was conceded, Atletico Madrid's offensive was already very fierce, and Liverpool's defense was in jeopardy. And this danger is different from the danger in the first half. The danger in the first half only came from Gleeman's shot. , this is relatively easy to guard against. At least Donald Cody has gradually become accustomed to Greeman's offensive routine after Greeman's initial offensive. Sanchez's goal was actually Cody stealing Greeman ahead of time. Formed after Zhiman..."

Lineker analyzed from the side.

"`々But this crisis in the second half was obviously different. The attack was initiated by Mandzukic, but Mandzukic was not the one who scored the goal last. He hid himself well among the players of Atletico Madrid and gave the football to his teammates. , instead of allowing himself to fight alone. In this regard, Mandzukic’s performance is much smarter than that of Greeman. This will increase the difficulty of Liverpool’s defense, so that Liverpool players do not know when Mandzukic is defending himself. To shoot, or to pass the ball to the other Liverpool players..."

Simeone also saw this scene, and while the (good) people around him were cheering for the equalizer goal, he was not very excited, and his eyes fell on Mandzukic.

He squinted as Mandzukic celebrated the goal with his teammates.

At this time, Mandzukic seems to have a core meaning.

Simeone thought to himself, if this is not what Mandzukic does occasionally...

Then I have more confidence in Atletico Madrid's performance this season.

In terms of personal ability, Greeman is of course qualified to be the core, but Simeone has not expressed his opinion for a long time, because he wants to see Zhukic's performance.

Mandzukic's strength is not weak......

So Simeone has always been cautious.

Judging from this game alone, Mandzukic let him see what he wanted to see. .
