832 Tactics of the Red Army
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals at Anfield began.△↗,
Real Madrid strives to gain a foothold after the opening game, and wait for the whole team to enter the game before initiating a threatening offensive.
But Liverpool won't give Real Madrid too much time. They will increase the pace of the game after the start of the game and launch an offense.
In the second minute of the game, Gerald intercepted the right front in the midfield, and Kuyt made a direct pass. Gerald turned around in the second half and swept the ball to the front and back of the penalty area. Torres stopped the ball and shook away the front and back attacks between Pepe and Diyala. He did not develop into the penalty area because Cannavaro obviously waited for him to change direction and then intercepted.
Torres shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Casillas was well prepared and directly pressed the ball under his palm.
After seeing Liverpool's attack, all the players in Real Madrid all had a sense of intuition: Liverpool is afraid of us!
This is a very subtle feeling.
Although Liverpool is attacking, he can still feel the fear in Liverpool's heart.
Why?
Although this attack formed a shot, it was because Liverpool's ground attack was very fast, and three passes and two passes made the opportunity create, but when he looked at the midfield players, Alonso did not assist, and Kuyt and Benardon on the wing did not enter the dangerous area.
It was just relying on the current Liverpool Gemini stars Torres and Gerald to charge.
It would be easy to understand if it was a away game, but it was at Liverpool's home court. They invested so little troops, which was obviously a little afraid of Real Madrid.
This made the Real Madrid generals relax a little.
In the 6th minute of the game, Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game.
Sneider cooperated with Qin Xiong in the frontcourt and then passed the ball back to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong gave a straight pass. After retracing, Raul pulled back and trolled the ball horizontally to face the goal. The shot flew out of the baseline against the outside of the post.
Two minutes later, Bernard sent a straight pass from the left side of the frontcourt. Torres retreated and hit the ball across. Gerald, who was ambushing the ball, shot a long shot, and Casillas saved the ball from the baseline.
"Liverpool's threatening shot with equipment! Gerald's long shot almost penetrated Casillas's fingers! Liverpool's fast break is very mature, with a high tacit understanding, and the passing and cutting cooperation between teammates is very efficient."
It seems that Liverpool only hopes to shake Real Madrid's defense with the combination of Torres and Gerrard. It cannot be said that such an idea is too naive, but it will not bring more pressure on Real Madrid's defense.
Liverpool attaches great importance to defense. Kuyt, who has an outsized physical fitness, can provide higher defensive contributions than traditional wide players, and Benardon also pays attention to regional defense. In addition, Mascherano and Alonso can attack and defend well, Liverpool's defensive hardness at the midfield line is beyond imagination.
In the 16th minute of the game, Real Madrid continued to pass the ball through the midfield and frontcourt to shape the offensive situation and began to form an advantage in the field.
Benitez was sitting in the coach's seat and staring at the development of the game on the field. No one knew why his hand holding the pen gradually exerted force to hold the pen tightly, and even the tip of the pen drew irregular lines on his notepad, he was unaware of it.
Qin Xiong made a front and back pass with Guti and then stepped diagonally into the left front. He and Sneider completed the transfer of the position in the running.
Sneider received Guti's pass and then passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong took two steps to attract the defense of Alonso, Aberoa and Kuyt.
He passed the ball diagonally back in the crack to Guti, who was unguarded, who immediately moved the attack. He saw Robben who was in front of the right road and decisively pushed it straight to the ground.
Robben faced Riser's entanglement and kicked the ball back at the moment of stopping the ball. After shaking Riser away, he looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area, and then kicked an inward-spin cross from the ball.
The soccer ball with inward rotation circled around the back point of the goal.
After passing the ball to Guti, Qin Xiong quickly stepped forward. At this time, no one could keep up with him and interfere with him in defensively.
When the football fell, goalkeeper Reina also moved to the back point of the goal.
Robben's inward spinning ball made Qin Xiong feel awkward.
Because it is an intra-rotating ball, the football flies towards the goal. In this way, it is more beneficial to Reina when comparing Qin Xiong's forward rush and Renner's expansion of defense area to move.
Qin Xiong headed the ball to the goal when the football fell, but he had no expectations and had no angle at all!
Reina is less than one meter away from him, and he has no other choice to deal with the ball except heading the ball.
And Reiner used his body to block almost all angles of the goal!
Qin Xiong's header was blocked by Reina with his shoulders.
Qin Xiong ran out of the baseline and circled a small arc before turning back to the penalty area, intending to see if there was any chance to form a second attack or counterattack on the spot.
The Reds fans in the Anfield stands were still scared. The scene just now was too thrilling.
Fortunately, Reina expanded the defense area, otherwise Robben would give Qin Xiong a perfect assist.
At this moment, Benitez, who was sitting on the coach's seat on the sidelines, not only held his pen tightly, but also gritted his teeth.
He is not afraid of his opponent to Real Madrid!
In that gorgeous and dazzling era of Galaxy Battleships, he led the Bat Legion Valencia to step on the Galaxy Battleships twice!
If Liverpool only invests in the "Temini combination" in position after the opening game, it gives people the feeling that Liverpool is afraid of Real Madrid, then this is a big mistake!
Benitez naturally has his own wishful thinking and his tactical ideas.
To defeat Real Madrid, it naturally requires more effort.
What Liverpool wants to catch is actually a counterattack!
After Real Madrid's attack group pushed the offense to a dangerous area, Liverpool needed to judge whether to launch a fierce offensive based on the situation on the field at that time.
This time, after Qin Xiong failed to head the ball and the football fell at Carragher's feet, the first reaction of all the players in the frontcourt in Liverpool was to observe!
Raul, Qin Xiong, Sneider, Robben, Guti!
Real Madrid has five players still in the dangerous area of Liverpool's defensive defense.
In other words, at this time, there were only 5 players in the extremely vast space in Real Madrid's midfield and backcourt!
Liverpool players know that this situation will not last too long. Perhaps in another 5 seconds, Guti will return to the midfielder position, Sneider and Robben will also withdraw, and Qin Xiong is now running backwards.
This is their fleeting offensive opportunity!
You must seize it and cannot miss it!
Benayon, Kuyt, Gerald, and Torres all started running forward.
Carragher passed the ball to the feet of the Liverpool midfield commander.
Chapter completed!
