"The referee decisively punished Henderson for a handball foul in the penalty area, and Atletico Madrid won a penalty!
Henderson expressed dissatisfaction with the penalty. He rushed to the referee and excitedly said that he did not deliberately handball and his arms were not open. However, we replayed it through slow motion that maybe he did not intentionally handball, but his arms were not completely close to his body torso. This penalty was not controversial.
Atletico Madrid has a chance to win a goal!"
Perhaps it was the first leg of the two teams' anti-confrontational emotions that caused Henderson to lose control after being punished for a handball foul. He kept chatting at the referee. Seeing that the referee was obviously impatient and wanted to take out the cards, Van Dijk stepped forward and hugged Henderson and pulled him aside, and said in a deep voice to Henderson: "But, don't worry, it's just a penalty kick, just a penalty kick! We didn't lose the game because of this. Now you need to adjust your mindset. If you continue like this, you may make a mistake. Adjust it yourself. Even if they scored the penalty kick, we are still ahead. As the leader, we should be calm and calm!"
Henderson took a deep breath and finally woke up.
Griezmann took the penalty under the gaze. After the referee blew a whistle, Griezmann made a run-up shot and sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal. Ter Stegen made a mistake in prediction and Liverpool was recovered.
"Griezmann made a point shot, Atletico Madrid equalized the score away, trailing Liverpool 2:3 in total. Now they only need to score another goal to equalize the score!"
As the first half approached, Alonzo shouted loudly from the sidelines, reminding the players to start strengthening their defense and focus on defensive counterattacks to ensure that they will not lose the ball in the first half!
Even though Atletico Madrid scored a goal, they did not take advantage of the victory. After all, they did not have much advantage in sports wars. If they misjudged the situation just because of a penalty kick and believed that they could push forward and reverse the overall situation, they would definitely have to bear huge risks!
So the Atletico Madrid players also played steadily. After all, their current situation is much better than the 0:0 at the beginning!
The game trend became flat. Before the end of the first half, the two teams each made a long shot, and there was no threat.
After the whistle at the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing stood up and turned around and wanted to leave. After seeing the two UEFA officials, he suddenly realized that he could not go to the locker room now.
He was too devoted to watching the game just now, which made him forget about being suspended. He smiled at the two of them and poured himself a glass of wine.
Simeone left the stands and went to the bathroom. Even so, the UEFA officials supervising him were following him. God knows if he would find an opportunity to contact Atletico Madrid secretly.
Situ Yunbing, sitting in the private room, gently shook the wine glass in his hand.
Overall, Liverpool had the advantage in the first half, but the result was not good, because the score of 1:1 was better for Atletico Madrid, and for Liverpool, it was one step closer to the safety line.
At 0:0, Atletico Madrid still has to be eliminated if he leads one goal.
At 1:1, if Atletico Madrid leads Liverpool by one goal, the game will return to the starting point. At least the total score looks like this, and the two teams scored the same away goals.
But in fact, it is not good for Liverpool. Even if they have a home advantage, as long as Atletico Madrid scores another goal, it will be more than just a goal to score a goal!
Because Atletico Madrid will score more away goals than Liverpool!
Situ Yunbing stood up and walked to the window. The wine glass in his right hand rose and fell three times in the palm of his left hand. After 20 seconds, he rose and fell three times again.
UEFA officials could not see his action, but no one noticed that among the caddies on the sidelines, Mbappe looked up seriously and looked up at the front door. After Situ Yunbing drank the glass of wine, Mbappe walked into the player passage from the sidelines and then ran quickly to the home team's locker room.
After he pushed the door open and entered, Alonzo saw him coming and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"
Mbappe said: "Three times."
Alonzo asked again, "Confirm?"
Mbappe nodded and said, "It's very sure, the boss repeated it."
Alonzo immediately turned around and said to everyone: "The boss has instructions. We should strengthen the interception in the midfield in the second half and implement the plan as planned. Remember, positional combat offense can be simple, but when curbing the opponent's offense, they must not create threats!"
The Liverpool generals nodded!
No one would have thought that Situ Yunbing would pass the adjustment instructions openly in full view of everyone!
He didn't need to sneak in, and at Anfield, he just needed an inconspicuous messenger.
If the Liverpool coach stood on the sidelines and looked up at the box, it would be eye-catching, but there was nothing strange about the caddie Mbappe looking up at the box, because there were many other caddies.
Before the game, he prepared multiple adjustment plans to deal with different situations. The only thing Situ Yunbing could not do was to personally teach the players and further stimulate their fighting spirit, but he trusted his players.
The reason why he was banned was ultimately because he defended the interests of the team, rather than making trouble and causing trouble.
Liverpool and Atletico Madrid have played 135 minutes of game. Perhaps because there have been too many eye-catching things in the game, few people can calmly think about it carefully. In the past 135 minutes, how many minutes did Atletico Madrid have been the tenacious, arrogant, violent but defensive first this season from the group stage to the knockout stage?
Perhaps only when the semi-finals are completely over, people can look back at these two duels to clarify the context and find some clues.
After the halftime break, the players of the two teams returned to the stadium and changed sides and fought again.
Simeone sat in the stands with her fists and supported her chin. He did nothing during the break, which made him feel anxious and even crazy again, but he had no choice but to do anything.
He has been suspended in the group stage next season. If he crosses the line and does something out of line and is severely punished by UEFA, he cannot imagine what situation the team will face next season.
The unspoken rules of European football have actually always existed, and these clubs do not want to be targeted by UEFA.
The referee blew the whistle to the start of the second half!
With Anfield's passionate cheering, Liverpool still controls the initiative on the field, and those who win the midfielder win the world!
Liverpool's offense was very simple, and Henderson made a long pass from the side of the midfield to find Suarez on the front line.
Atletico Madrid fans naturally disdained it. If such an offense wants to break their defense line?
What about dreaming?
Sure enough, Miranda easily headed the ball to clear the ball.
But the football that was determined was about to be controlled by Diego, so Casemiro stepped forward to fight against the position and squeezed Diego away.
Casemiro, who was the first to control the ball, knocked the ball across to Eriksen, who gave Gareth Bale a straight pass. The Welsh superstar shot with one kick when Cork turned around to counter-attack, and immediately stepped forward after the ball was released.
Suarez snatched the ball at the front of the penalty area before Mario Suarez landed and stole the ball and passed it to the left side of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale made a forward shot and volleyed before Godin blocked the ball and hit Atletico Madrid's goal.
Courtois translated a step and held the ball in his arms.
"Garez Bale's shot this time is not very threatening. If the angle is more tricky, it will be better. Now Atletico Madrid has begun to organize the offense."
Atletico Madrid encountered a midfield blockade in the positional battle, causing them to rely more on long passes.
When Adrian stopped the ball on the right side of the frontcourt, the masked man Robertson pressed him wildly, forcing Adrian to make a mistake in the ball, and Benatia easily intercepted the ball.
Liverpool's defense line was not threatened, and continued to fight a very simple positional offensive, but focused more on counter-attack and secondary attacks!
Situ Yunbing sat in the private room and nodded slightly, and the team implemented his tactical adjustment requirements well.
Now it depends on whether Atletico Madrid can create miracles.
If they can equalize the overall score 60 minutes ago, the game will be unpredictable.
But if the score is still Liverpool ahead after 60 minutes, then Atletico Madrid's enemies will not only Liverpool, but also new enemies will appear: time!
Although the defense line is currently safe, the weakness in Atletico Madrid's offense is still obvious, which makes the mentality of Atletico Madrid's generals a little anxious.
Simeone only arranged a starting lineup that he believed could improve creativity and offensive threats, but the actual effect was not as he wished. In this case, the coach's role in command and adjustment on the sidelines would be very prominent. Conversely, if the coach could not command and adjust on the spot, Atletico Madrid would become more passive!
In the 68th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid invested more troops in the offense.
Felipe Luis assisted in the frontcourt and wanted to cooperate with Griezmann, but Griezmann was not in a good position when receiving a long pass from the backcourt. He was forced into a dead end by Van Dijk and Azpilicueta. He did not see Louis' assist, but chose to barely hit the ball across the middle, but was retreated to the penalty area and intercepted the ball.
After intercepting the ball, Kante calmly passed the ball to Casemiro, who immediately divided the ball from the left. Robertson stepped forward and dribbled the ball and quickly pushed forward the offensive. He gave another pass just after passing the midfield.
Gareth Bale defeated Alderweireld after pulling the side, but the latter did not dare to take the initiative to rob, for fear that Gareth Bale would be directly passed by.
So Gareth Bale took the initiative to dribble and switched inward. Aldwellerde recovered the middle and joined forces with Godin to attack. Gareth Bale knocked the ball back diagonally to Eriksen who followed up, and the latter suddenly stepped forward and passed directly.
The ball was a little impatient, and Suarez stepped forward but stopped immediately because Miranda pushed the ball out.
However, the football fell outside the penalty area and was still controlled by Liverpool's players. After Henderson stopped the ball, he quickly collided with Gareth Bale, who had already reached the middle of the penalty area.
Then he was connected with Suarez Bell and cooperated with him!
The Atletico Madrid generals never expected Henderson to penetrate into their penalty area!
After rushing past Miranda, Henderson took Suarez's pass without making any adjustments and shot!
The football flies directly to the lower left position in the middle of the goal, far corner!
Courtois blocked the ball with a hurried save!
Godin, who quickly returned to the front of the goal, didn't care too much and kicked the ball out of the bottom line!
"Henderson's shot this time is very threatening, and Courtois' save is also particularly exciting!
After strengthening the offense, Atletico Madrid showed signs of irresistible defense!
But time is not friendly to Atletico Madrid, and the game will end in less than 25 minutes. If Atletico Madrid cannot score another goal, then their Champions League trip will end in the semi-finals!
So they had to step up their attacks too!”
Simeone's face turned pale, and he almost wanted to rush out of the stands to adjust and direct!
Obviously, Atletico Madrid needs to adjust, and it is time to make a decision!
Chapter completed!
