After Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson got the ball, he controlled the ball in the penalty area and then picked it up.

Another move to slow down the tempo, or to prepare to bring the tempo of the game into Liverpool's tempo.

Although Liverpool and Ajax are both fast-playing teams, their rhythms are still very different.

For example, Liverpool's midfielder is a pure tool midfielder. All they have to do is defend, press, and press. Some creative work is not actually done by them. Creative work is done by Liverpool's two wings.

of.

But Ajax is different. The two wingers are responsible for pushing and passing the ball, and the three midfielders are responsible for more of the work of organizing passes.

Another difference is that Liverpool's offensive ends often lie on the two wings. Of course, Firmino can also score goals. Liverpool has three offensive points in the frontcourt, Mane, Firmino and Salah. In fact,

In terms of quantity, Liverpool has many more attacking points than Ajax.

Because Ajax has only one obvious offensive point, and that is Lin Kedi. From the data point of view, this is the case.

Ajax has scored a total of 101 goals in all competitions this season, and Lin Kedi has scored 69 goals alone. This ratio is very exaggerated.

And this is even more true in the Champions League.

In fact, it is often very easy to defend against a team with such a single point of attack, because you only need to send one person to mark him one-on-one, and just go wherever he goes to mark him.

In fact, many teams have done this, but without success.

Again, if a world-class star can be restricted by dedicated man-marking, then facts have proven that he is not one of the top players.

Because it can restrict you.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are both tightly restricted in a game, but these two can not only perform well in the team as a whole, but also perform and score goals themselves. You restrict them for the whole game.

, it’s useless, they can always seize the fleeting opportunity to score goals.

Just like today, although Liverpool did not choose to defend Lin Kedi one-on-one, their tactics as a whole were to defend Ajax's center. But even in this case, Lin Kedi

He still scored, opening the scoring for Ajax.

This has to give Klopp a headache.

They fell behind 0-1 in less than 10 minutes. In a stage like the Champions League final, you can often win 1-0. Now Liverpool is trailing 0-1. What should we do? How to adjust? Klopp doesn’t even know.

.

It’s not that I don’t know completely, it’s just that in the first half, the game has only been going on for more than 30 minutes. Klopp’s back-up moves can’t be activated until at least 65 minutes into the second half of the game. They were used at that time and now.

If used, the effect may be completely different.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Klopp never considered before the game that his team would concede the ball so early in the first half, so that he had no plan on how to adjust after conceding the goal in the first half.

.

Klopp adheres to the simple coaching idea of ​​letting the players play on the pitch themselves, and the coach only needs to give offensive or defensive instructions to coach Liverpool's behavior on the pitch at this time.

So, on the court, more than 30 minutes into the first half, Liverpool players started their attack.

Speaking of which, Liverpool's offense is also very simple.

This attack was initiated by the goalkeeper and passed to Robertson on the left. Robertson was originally positioned relatively high and moved forward after receiving the ball. As soon as he moved, the entire Liverpool team started to move.

Fabinho dropped back between the two central defenders, like three central defenders. On the other side, Arnold also stepped forward and ran to a position parallel to the central midfielder.

Subsequently, Robertson took the ball all the way to the winger's position. Mazrawi fought and retreated. He did not step forward rashly, but wanted to block Robertson's passing route.

Robertson brought the ball to the frontcourt, but could not directly pass the ball. He had no choice but to pass the ball to the center.

At this time, Mane, who had pushed forward, was very angry and asked why he didn't push forward.

Robertson didn't say anything, but retreated a little to participate in the attack.

The ball reached Wijnaldum's feet at this time. As Liverpool's midfielder, Wijnaldum would not be too sticky after receiving the ball. He decisively passed it horizontally to Henderson on the other side.

Henderson took the ball and passed it to Arnold on the right again, and then pushed forward himself.

Arnold did not rush to take the ball, but pushed forward quickly, looking for opportunities to break through Tagliafico. Tagliafico knew that it would be difficult to guard the fast-moving Arnold alone, so he was thinking about whether to foul on the wing.

, but at this time, Arnold had already found an opportunity. He saw Henderson cutting forward into the ribs on the right side.

At this time, Arnold has two options. One is to pass the ball directly to Salah who is in front of him and behind Tagliafico. He is not offside.

The second option is to pass the ball horizontally to Henderson in front of him on his left.

Henderson is closer to the center.

So, Arnold chose to hit Henderson horizontally.

Just after Arnold made the choice to pass the ball, Salah saw the opportunity and immediately ran sideways into the penalty area.

At this time, Henderson took the ball and pushed it straight forward.

In the gap that Salah ran towards, the ball happened to be stuffed by Henderson.

"Salah! The cooperation with Henderson is dangerous!" He Wei shouted.

At this time, Salah was already preparing to shoot, and Onana lowered his body and prepared to save.

However, Salah changed direction, and the ball changed from Salah's left foot to his non-dominant right foot. Then, Salah suddenly poked the ball, and the ball was poked by Salah in a stabbing manner.

Toward the near corner.

This Onana is ready to completely block the angle.

But the ball flew into the lower right corner of the goal like a precision-guided missile.

"The ball, the ball went in. Salah poked the ball into the net with his right foot. Liverpool equalized the score and it's now 1-1."

"Liverpool's attack was very fast this time, and Henderson's sudden advance was a very critical step. Ajax's left back Tagliafico did not rush forward in time to force Alexander-Arnold, which was also a reason for the loss of the ball. Of course,

The most important thing is that Ajax's center back combination will always have a slower pace when facing small and agile players like Liverpool. This will cause problems."

"It's still early, the game has only been played for about 33 minutes, and there are still more than 10 minutes before the end of the first half. Ajax must stabilize their position. It is really a great thing to score in 8 minutes.
