In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool ushered in the challenge of Atletico Madrid.

The packed Anfield Stadium is like a carnival never ends!

When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium before the game, his popularity here was unparalleled. The fans cheered tirelessly for him. Crazy fans had tattooed his avatar on them and proudly showed it to the outside world.

Situ Yunbing did not have pre-match greetings with Simeone, both of them were true coaches.

Since both parties are disgusted, they will not meet each other.

Situ Yunbing sat in the home team coach's seat. If we follow the rules summarized by Fleet Street, we will definitely think that Situ Yunbing is confident in eliminating Atletico Madrid.

But in fact, this is not the case. It is not the case, but based on Atletico Madrid's style, he may not have to make many timely adjustments on the sidelines.

Liverpool vs Atletico Madrid.

Perhaps before the game, many people had some foresight about what kind of situation this showdown would appear.

Because Atletico Madrid's conservative and almost stereotyped image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts over the years.

This will definitely not be an offensive battle like Liverpool and Barcelona collided with Mars!

And it will be a defensive over-limit battle!

Simeone also sat in the coach's seat, waiting for the start of the game with a serious expression.

Although the two of them acted like they would never interact with each other.

But at the intersection of the Fleet Street, Simeone still has to thank Situ Yunbing for it.

Look at the current La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are on the same score!

You should know that before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals started, after Barcelona was defeated by Real Madrid at Camp Nou, Barcelona still led Atletico Madrid to 6 points!

But in the two league games after two matches against Liverpool, Barcelona lost!

Losing away to Real Sociedad.

Losed to Valencia at home.

The three-game losing streak in the league led to Barcelona being tied by Atletico Madrid!

Real Madrid is only one point behind the two teams!

If it weren't for the pressure and consumption that Liverpool had caused to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona would never have lost three consecutive league games like a collapse!

But from another perspective, Liverpool won the league five rounds ahead of schedule, but Atletico Madrid still has to be distracted from competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid for the championship. It is hard to say whether Atletico Madrid was highly motivated before the Champions League semi-finals or whether the pressure increased a lot!

The starters of the two teams may be dimmer than the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but no one will question the starters of the two teams that can do something earth-shaking on the court!

The theme song of the Champions League was heard, thrilling. There was not much left for the two teams to rush to the highest honor, and they would definitely do their best!

"Good evening for everyone, everyone, welcome to watch the first leg of the semi-finals of the 2015-2016 European Champions League!

The four teams that have entered the Champions League semi-finals this season are Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga.

The Spanish media hopes to stage the Madrid derby in the final, while the British Fleet Street hopes to stage the Premier League civil war again in the Champions League final!

Both expectations have a chance to come true.

Manchester City needs to step on Real Madrid's body, and Atletico Madrid will end Liverpool's dominance over European football!

Today we will broadcast live commentary on the first leg of the Champions League semi-final match of Liverpool’s famous Anfield Stadium in Liverpool.

In the 8-to-4 game, Liverpool eliminated the powerful Barcelona, ​​while Atletico Madrid also eliminated Bayern Munich, who was arrogant in the Bundesliga!

It can be said that the two teams advanced to the semi-finals by passing the test of blood and fire, and deserved it.

The two teams met in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago. I believe that the fans of the two teams were still vivid in their minds. The content of the game may not be talked about by football enthusiasts, but it is an indisputable fact that the two teams have formed a bond.

Even UEFA had to reiterate the discipline of the football match before the semi-finals, and the outline of the line was for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid to listen to.

Of course, UEFA does not want their biggest golden sign. The Champions League event has seen violent incidents in such a globally striking stage!

Of course, they also hope that the content of the competition will be more exciting and beautiful!

Okay, let me introduce the starting lineup of both sides.

Liverpool started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Kulibaly, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kante, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho.

This starting lineup is not surprising, and it can be regarded as the strongest lineup for Liverpool today.

Atletico Madrid's start today was a bit surprising, also 433.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Lucas Hernandez, Felipe Luis.

Midfielder: Gabi, Saul, Cork.

Forwards: Griezmann, Torres, Carrasco.

Simeone seems to have the courage to play against Liverpool away, but I think Atletico Madrid will be mainly conservative!

Okay, let’s watch the game and reveal the answers!”

Situ Yunbing, sitting in the coaching seat, was indeed surprised by Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, but it was only a little bit, basically as expected.

With the cheers of the huge fans at Anfield Stadium, the game officially kicked off.

Although Atletico Madrid, which was the first to kick off, had a rather aggressive formation of 433, they tried to control the ball more and avoid being accelerated by Liverpool.

Overall, Atletico Madrid did not show any strong aggressiveness after the start of the competition.

When Liverpool's forward rushed into the frontcourt to counterattack, the risk of conceding the ball continued to increase, Atletico Madrid launched a fast break. Griezmann dribbled the ball from the right in the frontcourt and tried to cooperate with Torres' passing, but Torres was intercepted by the snatched Culibaly when he stopped the ball.

Atletico Madrid is still the best at counterattacks in recent years, so they are not at a disadvantage in La Liga, and their opponents will give them good room for counterattacks.

Liverpool's tactics today also follow Situ Yunbing's requirements to control and guard against Atletico Madrid's counterattack!

Liverpool's fast break cannot fight even if he wants to fight. The offense advances to the dangerous area and is a positional battle!

Although Atletico Madrid is posing as a 433-year-old, when the ball is not under his feet, all the strikers retreat to their own half!

This allows Liverpool's offensive organization to be patient and mobilize more power and frequently change its playing styles to have the opportunity to create a threat to their defense line.

In the 5th minute of the game, Coutinho received a pass from Robertson on the left side of the frontcourt. After he took the ball, he changed direction and cut across. When he met Gaby and led Juan Fran to return to the penalty area, Coutinho's counter-tangent line was knocked on the ball, and the football returned to the left side, but the line was deeper.

Eriksen stepped into the sideline and got the first to get the ball in place. When Juan Fran came to block him, Eriksen quickly knocked the ball across the penalty area.

Lewandowski blocked Godin behind and went to meet him, and then knocked the ball back to the left side of the penalty area.

Coutinho, who cut in, was about to get a kick and shoot, but Gabby saw the first tackle and sweep the ball out of the sideline.

Seeing this scene, the Liverpool fans in the stands were very sorry.

But Situ Yunbing's expression was normal, not surprising.

If Atletico Madrid's defense is so easy to break through, what qualifications do they have to compete for the championship with Barcelona and Real Madrid?

What ability do you have to eliminate Bayern Munich led by Guardiola?!

Atletico Madrid successfully defended, while Liverpool immediately changed its style of play.

After the ball was opened, Robertson decisively made a cross of 45 degrees on the sideline.

The football hangs into the right rib of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale has cut inside.

This move may be a threat to Barcelona, ​​but it is basically useless to play Atletico Madrid.

Although Lucas Hernandez, a rookie trained by Atletico Madrid, is only 182 cm tall, but his good confrontation and accurate position selection will lead to the first position and then jump and head the ball to clear the ball, so that the defense line will always remain in a stable and safe state.

Atletico Madrid immediately organized a counterattack after successful continuous defense.

Although Saul, who also comes from Atletico Madrid youth training, "defected" from the Real Madrid youth training camp to Atletico Madrid in his youth, I am afraid that not many players will really care about the position of their youth when they can make their mark in La Liga.

Saul took the lead in the backcourt to control the ball, and when he was pressed by Casemiro, he quickly completed the wall-to-block cooperation with Cork. Then, when he quickly ran to the frontcourt, he saw Kanter rushing to intercept him.

Since the pass line to the right was blocked, Saul had no time to observe it, so he passed the ball to the side to look for Carrasco.

Carrasco dribbled forward and tried to pass Azpilicueta. When he changed direction and broke through, Azpilicueta accurately blocked the opponent and cut off the connection between the opponent and the football.

Azpilicueta struggles to defend Neymar and always takes the lead. He can only abandon the outside line if he blocks the inside line and cannot keep pressing all the time in sports battles, but there is no problem in defending Carrasco.

After all, although Carrasco has small skills, they are not good enough!

Speed ​​is not top-notch.

Atletico Madrid's counterattack failed, and the forward players quickly retreated. They were used to this rhythm. Even if they played some mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga, they rarely bombarded their opponents.

Always maintain enough patience in limited opportunities, and then you only need to seize one or two opportunities to win the game!

One data is reflected very specifically. When Atletico Madrid and Barcelona compete with the same scores in the La Liga standings, Barcelona's goal difference exceeded Atletico Madrid's 30 goals!

This means that Barcelona averaged one more goal than Atletico Madrid!
Chapter completed!
