"The second point of view is that these two teams are the leaders of their respective leagues. Juventus currently leads the league with only three points, and Liverpool is similar to them, only three points, but in the long run Look, the competitiveness of Serie A is not enough. Juventus did not start this season well, but they have been winning streak since then, and they are in very good form. With the pressure of competition, Klopp will definitely be more distracted in the league! Which leader is better in this game will have to wait for the performance in the game to speak!"

……

"Okay, thank you Cao Yang for your analysis! We saw that the players of the two teams have come to the center of the field. Liverpool's starting lineup is the 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is Mignolet and the defender Klein , Degan, Sakho, Moreno, defensive midfielder Kanter, Emre Can, offensive midfielder Zhang Yuan, Ali, Milner, striker Firmino, Coutinho did not appear in the team's starting list It is said that because of the impact of the car accident last week, he was given an internal suspension penalty by Klopp!" He Wei said a gossip.

"This is a foreign professional team!" Cao Yang sighed, "No one can override the overall interests of the team. Coutinho has also played very well this season! This game was punished by Klopp , I don’t know if it will cause trouble for Liverpool’s offense!”

"Juventus here is given a 442 formation, goalkeeper Buffon, defenders Bonucci, Chiellini, Evra, midfielders Cuadrado, Khedira, Marchisio, Pogba , striker Mandzukic and Dybala partner." He Wei said Juventus' starting list.

"Juventus's roster is one thing, and the actual position on the pitch is another. They are more like 4231 or 433 in the game. Mandzukic is the center forward at the top. , Dybala and Cuadrado are behind him! Since the battle with Fiorentina, Uncle Jiong's formation has been fixed at 4231, and this formation has also played to its maximum potential. During this period of time, Juventus has been very good The status is the proof!" Cao Yang said.

Uncle 囧 is the nickname given to Allegri by Chinese fans, because he has a Chinese face, and when he frowns, it really looks like the word "囧".

Uncle Jiong is sitting on his coaching bench. Compared with Conte who keeps roaring in every game, Uncle Jiong’s on-the-spot command is actually not too much. His sideline actions can also make a highlight. In this game, he There is no way to send a 442 formation. In the league, he mainly plays 4231, but in this Champions League knockout match, he prefers to use a 3-back system. This system is very flexible in defense, but Barzagli was injured. Well, other people didn't put him at ease, so he used the 442 formation, which is still the 4231 formation in actual operation.

Uncle Zha was also sitting quietly on the coaching bench of the visiting team at this time, and did not come to the coach's command area on the sidelines. The Juventus fans behind him all made strange noises.

Today's referee is the law enforcement team from the Netherlands. The referee is the well-known Kupels. Kupels is a descendant of his father and has rich experience. He was once selected as the best referee of UEFA in 2013. Today, UEFA faction attaches great importance to this strong dialogue.

Of course, Liverpool is not a top four overall, but with Zhang Yuan's bonus, everything seems to be different.

"Okay! With the end of the pre-match ceremony, Kupels whistled, and the game officially started. The home team Juventus attacked from left to right, and the visiting team Liverpool attacked from right to left!" He Wei and Cao Yang officially started the commentary of the game.

After Juventus kicked off, the momentum was very fast. It was obvious that they wanted to use the advantage of the home game to give Liverpool a bad start, but Liverpool did not mean to back down at all. The entire formation was relatively high, and only the left winger Moreno was in the position. Not very forward.

Klopp's plan today is also very simple, that is, to play exclusively on the right side of the offense. He has studied everything about Juventus. Uncle Jiong has indeed adjusted his formation and found a line that suits the current Juventus staffing. Tactical play, he succeeded, but not without weaknesses.

Juventus lacks a flank to move forward quickly on offense. Only Cuadrado on the right is very fast and has a strong breakthrough ability. Into positional warfare.

Therefore, Liverpool's reaction in the opening game was not to retreat, but to press forward as a whole. Kanter's main task was to interfere with his fellow Pogba, while Zhang Yuan focused on pressing high in front.

Neuer in the hands of Guardiola developed a new term goalkeeper, but it was not Neuer who came up with it first, but Buffon. As early as Conte's period, Buffon's touches increased significantly. At that time, Juventus' main striker in the frontcourt was Zhang Yuan, whose ability to compete for the top was average, and with Pirlo in the backcourt, Juventus often attacked on the ground. a significant increase.

Allegri also inherited Conte's tactical thinking, and rarely used high balls in the game. Even now that there is a Mandzukic who has a very good header ability, Juventus still has that kind of ground attack, of course. The purpose of doing this is not only to ensure the ball possession rate, but the most important thing is to reduce the rhythm of the game. Juventus is used to a slow-paced attack. Their patience is not comparable to that of ordinary teams. They can stay calm for a long time. Few teams have focused on control for a long time like them, allowing Liverpool to lead an attack, maybe 1 minute can be completed, maybe tens of seconds is enough, and Juventus can often take a few minutes to complete the attack. Push slowly, that's the difference between the two teams.

What Liverpool want to avoid is to fall into the rhythm of Juventus. Once they form a position to attack, their fine passing skills will be reflected. The closer they are to the penalty area, the more dangerous they are. There are too many buses in front of them. It depends on how much they can defend and form a positional battle. They not only have a very reliable center Mandzukic, but also a flexible Dybala and an unstoppable midfielder. Speaking of midfielder, Liverpool's midfielder Not at the same level as Juventus.

Juventus uses the midfielder to intervene in the offense very frequently, and they can give you a fatal blow if you don't pay attention.

Khedira was originally an engineer-type midfielder in Real Madrid. How about coming to Juventus? Allegri has inspired his offensive ability in Stuttgart. Kisio and others, although Marchisio's current position is more like Pirlo's position, but his long-range shooting ability and insertion ability cannot be ignored.

Liverpool does not have such a midfielder. The two defensive midfielders, Emre Can and Kanter, both focus on defense. The support given on offense is not that they dare not go forward, but that the level of support is limited, which is roughly the same. , Not very reliable, the midfielder that Liverpool can use is Ali.

After playing for a few minutes, the two coaches came to the sidelines at the same time. Klopp stared at the situation on the field with his hands, while Allegri kept making gestures with his hands. The start was just a test , he already understood that Klopp did not intend to hold back in such a game, but planned to attack himself with all his strength.

After holding on for 10 minutes, Allegri felt that his tactics were a bit risky. Liverpool's offensive and defensive transitions were very fast. One second before Juventus was still in control of the ball in Liverpool's half. The ball was passed to Zhang Yuan's feet. Fortunately, Chiellini and Evra were quite reliable. Both times they predicted in advance and stabbed Zhang Yuan's ball away.

Zhang Yuan has not taken advantage of the double-teaming of Chiellini and Evra for the time being, but who can guarantee that he will be given more chances to get the ball, and will he take advantage of the relatively loose formation of Juventus? Deliver a fatal blow? !
