1069 The sword is unsheathed!
Paris Saint-Germain's starting lineup in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was basically no change from the starting lineup at the Princes a week ago.
The trident on the front line is still Neymar, Cavani, and Di Maria.
The midfielder made a personnel adjustment, Draxler replaced Rabiot as the starting lineup, and was responsible for the offensive organization with Verati, while Matuidi was also a defensive midfielder.
The back line and goalkeeper position have not changed.
Emery put on a stronger offensive posture, but compared with the improvement a week ago, it only strengthened the offensive organizational link.
After the game started, the players of the two teams started a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
Although Liverpool still plays 433 at home, in fact, the range of activities of the three midfielders is more inclined to the midfield and backcourt. The role of Madison is particularly critical today, and it can even be said to influence the overall situation.
If he pays more on the offensive end but cannot create a threat, then Liverpool's overall defense will be very passive.
On the contrary, if he pays more on the defensive end, Liverpool's offensive threat will also decline, relying more on the ability of fast attack individuals to create opportunities.
Erikson's role in offense in the last match was very important. He can be said to be the most shining player in the midfield. Today, Madison took the stage to replace Erikson, so the pressure will certainly not be small.
Paris Saint-Germain was not aggressive enough in the offense, which made Situ Yunbing, who was sitting on the coach's seat, feel very excited.
Emery never understood one truth. In the top battle, you must have an awareness: either win brilliantly or lose tragically!
Especially in the case of a desperate battle.
Maybe Paris Saint-Germain itself does not have much confidence.
After all, they are not Barcelona. When Barcelona lost to them away, Barcelona was still full of great confidence when they returned to home. As long as they had faith, they would do their best to move towards a miracle.
Paris Saint-Germain itself is not as good as Liverpool in terms of hard strength. Most ordinary people will take them for granted, but this time they lost a bit miserable.
But whether it is a player or a team, accepting one's fate is always a bad habit that must be changed.
Neymar is the one who can create a greater threat in the game, but he can never escape the dungeon where he creates an offensive threat alone. If Paris Saint-Germain cannot raise the offensive threat from local individuals to overall, it will be very difficult to break through Liverpool's defense line.
Since the joint organization of Verati and Draxler has indeed put a lot of pressure on Liverpool's midfield defense, after all, Henderson still has to take care of assisting defense on the wing to curb Neymar, Madison took the initiative to retreat and participate more in defense, which still made Situ Yunbing feel relieved.
After entering 2018, he felt that Madison was gradually enlightened.
The biggest change in the future of Liverpool's lineup will be in the midfield. Henderson, Kante, Casemiro and Eriksen are all players between 90-92 and are now in the golden stage of their careers, but what if there are another two or three years?
Who can take their guns?
Especially no one can guarantee that these four players will not be troubled by injuries, and then it will inevitably be an opportunity for new players to take the lead.
Now Madison is the stage of laying the foundation. He can develop well with the trend of Liverpool's tacit understanding of mature technical and tactical systems. At the same time, he must work harder and be ready to take power at any time!
Madison now needs to prove himself with good performances after good. He is not proving that he can replace Erikson, but rather that he is improving every day!
With Madison retreating to participate in defense in the middle and backcourt and performing well in the offense and defense transition, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain's offense and defense confrontation were difficult to distinguish.
Gareth Bale and Sancho can create a threat when they hit the wing, but the effect of finding Griezmann with the last pass was very average, but the inward shot created several dangerous situations.
In the 34th minute of the game, the game that had been stalemate for most of the time in the first half finally changed.
When Cavani responded to Alves' cross from the 45th degree on the wing, he headed the ball back to Di Maria who cut inside the wing, the latter passed Casemiro with a fake shot and cut across to the middle of the penalty area, and then shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
Ter Stegen barely blocked the ball with one hand, and the football rebounded to the top corner of the small penalty area. It was too late for Van Dijk to turn around and clear the ball. Neymar followed up and made a backup shot and sent the ball into the far corner of the goal!
After scoring the goal, Neymar quickly rushed into the goal and picked up the ball and held it in his arms and ran towards the midfield.
"Nemar scored a goal after a shot! Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal!
Although this goal came a little late, Paris Saint-Germain finally scored a goal, and now they still need to score four goals to perform a miraculous comeback!
Will Liverpool give them a chance?
I think if Liverpool concedes another goal, Situ Yunbing will definitely not be able to sit on the coaching seat!
Now the total score is Liverpool ahead of Paris Saint-Germain 5:2!”
Paris Saint-Germain's players have time to return to their half to allow Liverpool to kick off quickly.
Emery also clapped and clapped on the sidelines to inspire the generals of the army.
Situ Yunbing sat on the coach's seat without changing his expression, witnessing Neymar's goal and returning to the central circle with the football in his arms.
He turned his head and said to Feng Kuoyang: "Kuoyang, the nature of Brazilian players is that they will only be absolutely serious when a crisis comes!
I obviously got a good hand of cards, but I had to wait until the opponent was about to finish it before I began to think carefully about how to play my cards.
Do you know what the problem is with Chinese players?”
Although Feng Kuoyang has been familiar with Liverpool for several months, the atmosphere of the Champions League still makes him feel nervous.
He looked at the field intently, and leaned his head against Situ Yunbing's shoulder and asked, "What?"
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "The problem with Chinese players is that their standards of satisfaction are very low. Brazilian players want to make a lot of money, live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and even private yachts, and are full of beauties every day. They can spend millions of euros a year but are not satisfied. However, if Chinese players give him millions of yuan a year, they will be very content, and then they will have no motivation and will never feel a sense of crisis!"
"What should I do?"
"There is no way, don't try to change human nature! You will be exhausted!
Originally, it is difficult to climb to the sky if a mortal body wants to be as good as a god!
Look at Neymar, how good he looks when he plays football seriously!
Do you know what I dislike most as a coach?”
Feng Kuoyang shook his head and continued, "I don't know."
Situ Yunbing smiled and said, "It's obviously a demigod body, but in the end it's just like a fool!
There is nothing more regrettable than wasting talent, because talent is hard to come by. God gives you, you don’t cherish it. Who do you hope can give you something more precious?"
Feng Kuoyang asked curiously: "BOSS, are you talking about Balotelli?"
"Hahaha, Balotelli is just more topical. There are too many players who end up missing the talent every year because they abandon their talents."
"BOSS, aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about?"
"We're behind now, oh no, our lead is narrowing."
Situ Yunbing casually said: "Paris Saint-Germain's opponent is not just Liverpool, but also time, and themselves!
I have full trust in the players on the field and I have confidence in them.
Paris Saint-Germain finally woke up from her dream, but it was not a lion after all, so there was no need to be afraid.
When you have seen C Ronaldo's persistence in pursuing victory at close range, when you see Messi's terrifying outbreak under pressure with your own eyes, and when you are almost forced to retreat by Atletico Madrid's unscrupulous means, you know that Paris Saint-Germain on the field is still a long way from being truly top-notch.
They have strong muscles, but no extraordinary wisdom and tough souls!”
Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal and boosted its morale. After re-teletting, it quickly strengthened its counter-attack, and even its aggressiveness became very high!
Moreover, the two full-backs took turns to assist were increasing!
Of course they have to race against time!
They need to score four more goals!
Even Emery kept gesturing on the sidelines to ask them to speed up the pace!
Faster, faster!
Try to score another goal before the end of the first half!
The miracle goal seemed to open a gap to them because of Neymar's goal, but even the faint light made them feel as if bathed in a great light and full of power!
After Paris Saint-Germain scored a goal, Liverpool was actually beaten at home!
This allowed Griezmann to take the initiative to retreat to participate in the defense and offensive and defensive transition.
However, under Van Dijk's leadership, Liverpool's defense still has no obvious flaws.
In the 42nd minute of the game, when Azpilicueta and Henderson attacked Neymar to complete the interception, Azpilicueta quickly passed the ball straight ahead.
After Gareth Bale pulled the ball from the midline and turned around and pushed forward, Belchiche immediately stepped forward and asked for a foul!
Gareth Bale passed the ball to Griezmann before being knocked to the ground by the opponent!
The referee observed the situation and indicated that the offense was favorable and the game continued!
Griezmann dribbled the ball and pushed the fast shift to the right in front of the penalty area.
When he was attacked by Matuidi and Marquinios, Griezmann knocked the ball across the middle of the penalty area.
Madison, who was running and assisting, rushed to the ball and shot. Silva did not dare to act rashly, but he came to the middle of the penalty area.
After Madison stopped the pace of the stop, Silva decisively immediately grabbed the ball, while Madison calmly passed the ball diagonally in the penalty area!
I saw a lightning figure cutting into the penalty area. When Silva turned around and looked, the opponent dribbled across the front of him. Even if Silva wanted to make a foul, he would have no chance!
Then the man shot and shot the ball into the upper right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Areola was stunned in front of the goal line!
Anfield Stadium is thundering!
Everyone's eyes were focused on the man who scored the goal!
18-year-old Sancho!
Chapter completed!
