831 British Shock!
Rome was not built in one day, but it would be enough to destroy Rome in one day.
No one can define the time it takes to establish a dynasty. In the history of competitive sports, it is necessary to continuously win, win honors, trophies, and be the top champion in a period of time. So when the dynasty is being built, no one will realize it!
But the destruction of the dynasty will be very intuitive, and only requires a few major losses.
When the turning point appears, most people always realize it later.
Liverpool came to Camp Nou with a positive attitude, but now he is in the biggest crisis situation of the season!
The long-term victory may have made Liverpool's ability to withstand pressure extremely strong, and the players are also relatively optimistic. Even if they are two goals behind, they have strong confidence to reverse the result, at least they will not make the result look as bad as it is now!
How bad is the 0:2 score?
If the first leg is ended according to this score, as long as Barcelona scored one goal at Anfield Stadium in the second leg, Liverpool will have to score 4 at home to turn the tables!
This is thanks to the away goal rules in the Champions League.
Situ Yunbing could not be optimistic. According to the current situation, it might be better if Liverpool could score away goals at the end of the game, but it is very likely that the difference between Barcelona will be more than three goals!
It's time for a decision again. Perhaps outsiders will not think about Situ Yunbing's next on-site command actually determines the fate of the Red Dynasty. Will it resolve the crisis and continue to rule in European football, or will the dynasty collapse?
Situ Yunbing now has two choices. One is to let the team completely withdraw to play the ultimate defense. But the problem is that according to Barcelona's current state, it is difficult to withstand their offensive rush, whether it is a tight line of defense.
Perhaps because he was too afraid of Messi's breakthrough ability in his heart, Situ Yunbing had never had the idea of playing extreme defense from beginning to end when he was fighting Barcelona, which was already the case when he was leading Hamburg against Barcelona led by Guardiola.
Another option is to adjust on the offense.
He thought calmly that Liverpool’s biggest advantage is their physical fitness and confrontational ability. The physical fitness of the first team is definitely stronger than Barcelona, which means that the distance of the rushing and running in 90 minutes can be much higher than Barcelona!
This is the advantage they have accumulated over the long term before the season!
After clarifying his thoughts, Situ Yunbing took advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball to call Gareth Bale in front of him, and at the same time gave Coutinho an advantage. Gareth Bale came to Situ Yunbing and was given an opportunity in person.
After returning to the court, Gareth Bale ran to Erikson and said a few simple words, and Situ Yunbing also gave instructions to the midfielder.
After Situ Yunbing's adjustment, Liverpool's playing style became relatively simple. In the 32nd minute of the game, Azpilicueta assisted to the frontcourt and received the return pass from Gareth Bale, and then made a cross and slapped the ball into Barcelona's penalty area.
Pique took the lead in the football landing point in defense, and headed the ball away under the interference of Lewandowski. When Rakitic took the ball, Eriksen immediately pressed and fought back. The former pushed the ball over to Iniesta's feet.
Xiaobai Iniesta dribbled the ball across the cross-slice and shook Casemiro away, and then drove it to the ground diagonally to find Messi.
Messi led the ball on the side and quickly advanced forward and Kanter grabbed it as soon as possible. Messi spiked the ball quickly and came to the outside of the side. Robertson followed him up and put the ball on the scooter and broke the ball out of the sideline.
Messi looked back at his teammates in the backcourt. He needed someone to come to him for support first.
If he really relied on his own to drive around, Barcelona might not have gone far!
After Liverpool resisted Barcelona's attack, they continued to adjust their tactical styles afterwards.
What Situ Yunbing wants is Liverpool's high-point advantage in offense, as well as the wide coverage of the midfield and the advantages of super endurance and interception.
In the 35th minute of the game, Coutinho received a pass from Eriksen on the left side of the frontcourt. He pulled the ball in front of Alves and adjusted it, decisively sent a pass over the top.
The football hangs towards the right side of the penalty area.
Gareth Bale quickly cut, and although Mascherano occupied a favorable position, Gareth Bale still made him unable to resist after taking off!
Gareth Bale headed the ball!
The football flew to the right of the middle of the goal, but Bravo saw him swooping across and blocking the ball!
"Bravo's wonderful save once again resolved the attack from Liverpool!
Rakitic encountered Eriksen's close pressing outside the penalty area, so he could only head the ball and rub it!
The ball rights are back at Liverpool's feet, and Casemiro controls the ball before Iniesta!"
After Casemiro regained the ball, he quickly passed the ball to Kante's feet, and Kante passed the ball diagonally to the left of the frontcourt.
After Coutinho stopped the ball on the side, he suddenly pivoted the ball and cut it across when Alves grabbed it. Then he passed the ball again and sent it into the penalty area!
This time, Gareth Bale was on the penalty area line, so he was able to complete the offside faster!
Coutinho's cross also gave him enough early!
Mascherano turned around and returned to chase after Gareth Bale's long legs stretched out to cushion the football that fell in front of the baseline. He immediately turned around and brought back defense in the middle of the goal.
But it's too late!
Lewandowski withstood Pique's first response and shot with a volley!
The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal!
Although Bravo made a save this time, because he was less than ten yards away from Lewandowski, the reaction time was not enough!
He watched the football fly into the goal!
Lewandowski immediately rushed into the goal and held the ball in his arms and ran towards the midfield.
The Liverpool generals were excited, and Gareth Bale and Lewandowski celebrated with high-fives.
Barcelona fans in the Camp Nou stands were immediately disbelief, while Reds fans burst into earth-shaking cheers!
Finally scored a goal!
This goal made Situ Yunbing breathe a little relieved.
At least he has adjusted his direction.
Barcelona has their skills and Liverpool has their physical strength!
Show your strengths!
"Lewandowski scored! Liverpool scored a goal!
The Reds Liverpool obviously changed their playing style when they were two goals behind. They seemed to have become traditional British teams, constantly using long passes to threaten Barcelona's defense!
This looks a bit simple, but it is actually very effective.
Barcelona's air defense line is a weakness, and Liverpool has enough advantages to take advantage of this!
Liverpool has come back from the dead with this goal!
Because even though he is still behind with one goal, Liverpool may not be at a disadvantage in the situation!
If the first leg is finished according to the current score and the second leg returns to home, Liverpool only needs a 1-0 victory to eliminate Barcelona!”
The Barcelona generals are experienced and naturally know the subtle changes in the situation.
Enrique had no expression on his face, but he had already gritted his teeth in secret.
His calm appearance covered his inner madness!
Why can't Liverpool be beaten to death?!
If Liverpool fans believe that Barcelona has been favored by God in the first 20 minutes of the game, then Enrique now believes that Liverpool has a mysterious luck!
Can you break through Barcelona's door with shoddy British traditional style of play?!
This is simply nonsense!
Situ Yunbing smiled and applauded on the sidelines. The goal was so critical!
Barcelona have basically never been defeated by such a style of play before because of their strong midfield dominance!
However, although Barcelona is still technically not much different from before this season, their midfield dominance has significantly declined, which stems from two points: One is that Iniesta is one year older, and the other is that Rakitic's decline in form!
After Xavi left Barcelona, it can be said that Barcelona's tiki-taka has already died in name only!
I can never return to the power of Guardiola's era that can hypnotize the opponent and kill him and lose his armor!
Isn’t Real Madrid able to defeat Barcelona a factor that Modric and Kroos won in the control battle for power?
Moreover, Ronaldo has also scored many headers in front of Barcelona!
This is enough to show a lot of problems.
Barcelona adjusted their defense line after conceding the ball. Busquets' position slightly retreated in order to be able to return to the penalty area in time for air defense!
In this way, Barcelona's midfielder fell into a very obvious passive state!
In the 39th minute of the game, when Neymar was controlling the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, he kept swinging in front of Azpilicueta and then cut in a transverse direction. When he encountered Kante, he quickly knocked the ball to Iniesta. The latter quickly collided with Suarez to fight against the wall, moved sideways to the right in front of the penalty area and then responded and decisively sent a straight pass.
Messi cut inside and broke into Liverpool's penalty area. When touching the ball, he found that Coolibali blocked his cross-sectional line, so he spiked the ball towards the bottom line and just shook the angle and shot!
Although the football hit the goal range, due to the narrow angle, Terstegen blocked and cleared the ball.
Rakitic, in front of the center circle, controlled the football landing point, but under the interference of Coutinho, he made a mistake in controlling the ball. The ball passed to the left of the front court was cut off by Kante halfway!
Liverpool immediately launched a fast break, Kante passed the ball straight to the right of the frontcourt, Gareth Bale led the ball in front of Alba and cut across to the right in front of the penalty area. When Busquets just moved, Gareth Bale made a quick pass. Lewandowski stepped diagonally behind Mascherano and blocked the Argentine, Lewandowski adjusted and shot suddenly!
But the footwork was not controlled well, and the ball hit the plane!
Chapter completed!
