Chapter 1098 Second Round ([-])
"We can seriously study the defense of Mr. Simeone's team, it will be a good textbook!" Henry laughed.

"They rely on defensive density! And tenacious style!" Carragher said with a smile.

"But they acted like a whole, which is difficult for ordinary teams to do!" Henry pointed out.

This is the truth, who wouldn't do intensive defense? !Who can't chain defense? !But who can guarantee that the players work together as a whole? Not every coach can do this. Of course, no matter how good a team is, it is impossible to behave like a whole at all times in a game. Just caught by the opponent.

Atletico Madrid also made a mistake today and almost caused a big mistake, so they are not invulnerable.

"Thierry, what's your opinion on the performance of Liverpool and Zhang Yuan in the first half?!" Carragher continued to ask.

"Liverpool didn't actually invest enough in attacking, they basically maintained the balance between offense and defense, I think they did a good job, but I guess Mr. Klopp must not want to go into extra time?! So I have reason to believe that Mr. Klopp needs to increase his offensive investment in the second half!" Henry speculated with a smile.

"As for Zhang Yuan, I think his performance is already good enough, but today Atletico Madrid still greatly restricts his room for movement. He should be more active on the court. Sometimes he lacks change, he needs a little change! "Henry commented.

Well, that's a kind of politeness!Carragher slandered in his heart. Carragher thought that Zhang Yuan still needs a little drive. Today, it is not good to always regard himself as the usual offensive organizer. He needs to dare to fight!
"Zhang Yuan, you lack something!" Klopp called Zhang Yuan in the locker room and said, "Do you understand?! Sometimes you can't organize away from the opponent's penalty area. This kind of work should be undertaken by Felipe. I You need to rush in! Don’t worry about losing the ball, N’Golo and the others are behind you to protect you, sometimes the captain also needs to abandon some responsibilities, and you need the courage to go forward! Do you understand?!”

Klopp said that he kept gesticulating with his hands. The Liverpool players initially thought that Klopp was expressing dissatisfaction with Zhang Yuan, but gradually they heard Klopp explain to Zhang Yuan how to attack the opponent. Everyone knew Klopp hopes to use Zhang Yuan as a pure winger, and it is time to use his impact.

This is the difference between Zhang Yuan’s understanding of tactics and Klopp’s thinking. Klopp made it clear today that he should focus on the right side and despise the left side. Lallana on the left side has a level, but he is not the top breakthrough player. His attitude But actively working hard, he can help contain, and the real main attack is still on the right.

Zhang Yuan has done too much on the court. He is far away from the core area and too far from the goal. He is more inclined to pass the ball continuously and try to tear the opponent's defense. That's why he laments that the team's investment in offense is not thorough. , because there are few points to pass the ball forward.

When Klopp said that Zhang Yuan understood, well, since you said so, then I have nothing to be afraid of, I believe your arrangement.

"Remember, sometimes don't be too strong. Chuckel's scale is still relatively strict. If you can find a better opportunity to set the ball at the front of the penalty area, I think you will have a good room to display it!" Klopp Pulled Zhang Yuan and said in a low voice.

Hey, isn't this an opportunity to cheat a set kick? !Zhang Yuan understood what Klopp meant. Don't be afraid of the opponent closing the door, besieging him, and rushing in. It would be nice to be able to get a set kick.

Zhang Yuan thought about it carefully. This idea is actually a good idea. Atletico Madrid’s defense is difficult to overcome. Set kicks are a good way. Liverpool got a few set kicks in the first half, but the opponent was very smart. It is relatively far away and does not pose any threat to their gate. In addition, Liverpool rarely rushes inside when they see the tortoise shell.

At the end of the intermission, players from both sides returned to the field again. Neither team made substitutions. Klopp's tactical arrangement in the midfield focused not on offense but on defense. The problem of the two full-backs, he also found Yes, he reminded the two wingers to be especially careful behind the back. Griezmann and Torres actually have a relatively large range of activities. This requires the concentration of Liverpool's players, and the defenders on both sides must choose the right timing to insert.

Simeone did not make any adjustments to the team's tactics. He encouraged the team more verbally. When it comes to experience, Atletico Madrid actually has more experience than Liverpool. They once reached the Champions League final, but lost to They lost their rivals in the same city, Real Madrid, and now they really want to get back to their old place and win the Champions League trophy.

Chuckel blew the whistle, and the second half of the match between the two teams officially began. Atletico Madrid started a period of high-position pressing after the kick-off in the second half. It is estimated that Simeone meant to take advantage of the start of the second half to give Liverpool a little color.

The Liverpool midfielder was unstable with the ball, and there were several pass errors, which led to Atletico Madrid almost getting the first chance to score. Klopp was in a hurry and kept yelling on the sidelines, signaling the team not to continue to use the ball to control the ball. That style of play instead resorted to a long pass, and Zhang Yuan and Firmino were very close.

Atletico Madrid's two central defenders Jimenez and Godin are not the kind of tall and large central defenders. Firmino and Zhang Yuan will not suffer against them.

Coutinho is also not far from these two. Liverpool began to play a simple English style of play, and Atletico Madrid was a bit uncomfortable. The high position means that the pressure of personnel means that the central defenders have to directly face the impact of Liverpool forwards. .

There have been several times when Liverpool have won the second penalty through this kind of aerial battle, and launched a counterattack. In the 57th minute, Zhang Yuan and Godin competed for the aerial, gained the upper hand, and returned the ball to Ku Tinho, Coutinho sent a through pass, and Firmino successfully formed a single-handed counter-offside.

The fans at Anfield were excited again, and Qian Huan couldn't help standing up!

O'Barack attacked, his position was chosen more appropriately, and his speed was not too slow. Coutinho's direct pass was slightly stronger, and Firmino was already very close to O'Barack after taking the ball. Under the circumstances, Firmino wanted to score too much, and he tried to pass O'Barack.

But O'Barack's reaction was really fast. With a side attack, he firmly blocked the ball with his hand, and Firmino was tripped by him and fell to the ground.

Jimenez, who returned to defense, followed up with a big kick and cleared the ball!

Zhang Yuan raised his hands and shouted to Chuckel, "Foul! Foul! Penalty! Penalty!"

After being disappointed, the Liverpool fans also yelled loudly that this was a penalty kick. O'Barack tripped Firmino, and it was an undeniable penalty!

Chuckel didn't do anything, signaled the game to continue, and didn't listen to Zhang Yuan's roar at all. Atletico Madrid also took this opportunity to launch an attack.

"Is there any mistake, this is not a penalty?! He tripped Firmino's foot first!" When Liverpool got the goal kick, several Liverpool players under the leadership of Zhang Yuan gave Chuck Er Shi pressure.

"I can see clearly that this is not a penalty kick. Their goalkeeper touched the ball first!" Chuckel explained patiently, shaking his fingers.

"You guys are really shameless, this goal is obviously not a penalty! Ha, if you can't kick it, just look for a penalty?!" Atletico Madrid's defender Godin also surrounded him and said in Zhang Yuan's ear.

Zhang Yuanli ignored him. The players on both sides insisted on their opinions. Chuckel had to issue a warning. This is not a penalty. No one is allowed to argue.

The Liverpool players retreated angrily, but this threat reminded Simeone. After all, the opponent was a Premier League team, and the players were all kinds of N-nation coalition. But the long pass is just like the Italian team. The defense is the same, naturally, if you continue to insist on pressing high, you may be used by Liverpool in the backcourt.

So Simeone's strategy is also very simple, giving up the high press, the team's formation is recycled again, Liverpool has regained the initiative on the field, and the organization of the midfield has become much smoother. Of course, the problem waiting for them is still how Break through Atletico Madrid's re-intensive defense.

Thinking about the one-handed fight just now, Zhang Yuan felt that it was a pity. On the stage of the Champions League, it is not easy to seize the opportunity of the opponent's mistakes, but today Liverpool wasted two great opportunities!
