1372 Final Evolution
"Liverpool took the lead in substitution. Raul, who scored the first goal in this game, was replaced by the midfielder Tiot. Koeman's substitution seemed to have to strengthen his defense. He replaced a forward and a defensive midfielder. Does Liverpool have to defend the victory with almost 25 minutes left in the game?
No matter what Liverpool’s plan is, let’s first pay tribute to the legendary Green Legend Raul, who can still fight in the Champions League final at this age and perform well, and he deserves the respect of the whole world.”
Strengthen defense?
No no no no!
Koeman would never think so. If he thought so, after Liverpool got the lead at the start, he would let the team play extreme defense and counterattack.
This is not for defense, but for a better offense, it is just an adjustment to defense.
After Tiot came on the court, Liverpool's formation changed.
From 433 to 442, or 4411, it's fine.
Kuyt plays center forward, Qin Xiong plays shadow forward.
The midfield is a three-middle midfielder system.
Tiot and Mascherano are on both sides of Alonso, and Gerald is in the centre-forward.
Liverpool's tactical adjustments were planned before the game and were one of their choices to change the lineup.
The purpose is to liberate the full-back.
After Baynes or Johnson assisted, Tiot and Mascherano had one player to defend the wing, ensuring that at least two midfielders in the middle were to act as barriers in front of the penalty area.
The full-back provides offensive support from the wing, continuing to allow Liverpool's offense to make full use of the field width.
But in the eyes of others, especially Barcelona, Liverpool really has to defend!
Guardiola issued more radical offensive orders to the team.
Now there is only one goal difference between the two teams. As long as Barcelona can equalize the score, the team can readjust the tactics.
But this is based on the fact that the score is a draw.
In the 70th minute of the game, Barcelona attacked in the frontcourt. Iniesta suddenly pulled the side and went to the left.
Pedro cut into the penalty area and became a double striker with Villa.
Abidal assisted with Iniesta to attack on the left, driving Liverpool's defense into the penalty area. Then Iniesta suddenly passed the ball back and passed the ball back to Xavi's feet outside the penalty area.
Xavi observed the overall situation before receiving the ball. He saw Messi being blocked by Tiot and Baynes, and there was no good space for straight passes.
But he was extremely open in front of him. He could try a long shot.
So he shot thirty yards away from the goal.
Gerald blocked a step slower, and the football passed over the heads of the Liverpool defenders. Everyone turned their heads in horror and saw that the football that began to fall had a chance to fall into Liverpool's goal.
Fortunately, the angle of the ball is not particularly tricky, otherwise Reina would be unable to turn the situation around!
Reina flew to save and hugged the ball with both hands. The power of the ball was not particularly strong, allowing Reina to perform a wonderful save.
The Reds fans at the New Wembley Stadium are now calm and expect the team to maintain the lead. Barcelona fans are a little nervous and anxious.
In the 75th minute of the game, Liverpool took the ball in the midfield, Alonso, Gerald, Tiot, Mascherano, Johnson, and Baynes passed the ball back and forth in the midfield, front and back, and horizontally.
Barcelona's counterattack in the frontcourt cannot destroy Liverpool's control over football. This made Barcelona think of him hatefully: Liverpool is delaying time!
So they could only invest more anti-robbery forces.
Just after Xavi rushed forward, Liverpool suddenly launched a fast attack.
Alonso passed the ball with an oblique pass to Baines's feet on the wing, who dribbled the ball and started to sprint on the wing.
After rushing through the half, Baynes found that there were no Barcelona players to force him, so he continued to drive the football forward.
Although Barcelona's counterattack in the frontcourt returned to defense immediately, the speed was still slow!
When Gerald rushed to the dangerous area of forty yards from the goal in the frontcourt, Harvey was already left behind by Gerald.
Baines pushed the offensive on the wing. Before he encountered Alves, he saw the situation in the middle and made a cross!
The ball was passed behind Kuyt.
And Kuyt also happened to step on the line in the penalty area and did not continue to move forward.
Why are the two of them so tacitly?
Because in the pre-match tactical arrangement, once Kuyt plays as a center, his responsibilities are the fulcrum!
Puyol and Pique came to attack Kuyt. Kuyt looked at the falling football with his back to the penalty area and headed the ball back!
Bootsks, who was running towards the penalty area, stopped suddenly and watched the football flying overhead and turned around.
He saw Gerald rushing up from behind, stop the ball, and pass the ball again!
Pass directly over the top!
Diagonally!
The football flew into the left side of the penalty area.
Prior and Pique went to block Kuyt together. At this time, the football flew into the penalty area again, and they turned their heads and looked at it together. They were surprised to see Qin Xiong breaking into Barcelona's penalty area like a whirlwind.
Puyor immediately rushed towards Qin Xiong.
Even he has to admire the exquisiteness of Liverpool's offensive.
Kuyt is not only a fulcrum, but also acts as a cover role. Bains also has Bains. Although Qin Xiong no longer plays as a winger, Bains has restrained Alves on the wing, which has expanded the gap in the penalty area!
Qin Xiong came to the landing point of the left-roof football in the penalty area. Goalkeeper Valdes abandoned the goal and Puyol was running towards him quickly.
Valdes and Puyor stared at Qin Xiong. After Qin Xiong made the next move, the two were angry: Do you dare?!
Qin Xiong soared into the air and waved his legs in a lying position. The football falling in the air was directly hit by him with his right foot!
Shoot in the air!
Countless fans of the New Wembley Stadium couldn't help but stand up and look at the world wave that Qin Xiong shot!
Puyor was no longer able to interfere with Qin Xiong and the football he shot.
Valdes was completely caught off guard!
Qin Xiong's shot that didn't stop the ball suddenly came. Within his sight, the angle of the football shot made him grit his teeth!
Qin Xiong deliberately lowered the football and a downward bounce of the earth flew towards the goal.
On the small penalty area line, two meters away from Valdes, the football bounced on the ground and flew up again. Valdes subconsciously saved the football sideways but let the football fly through his armpit!
He turned his head and looked at it before landing. In fact, even the turning of his head was driven by the subconscious.
He knew the ball had entered!
Sure enough, the cheers from the New Wembley Stadium suddenly resounded through the sky and shook all directions!
The football rushed into Barcelona's goal after bounced into the ground!
Chapter completed!
