Author: Bei Guoxia

The second half of the game begins.

Ajax walked out of the tunnel first.

Liverpool followed and both teams took to the pitch.

The referee was looking at his watch. When the time was right, the referee blew the whistle to start the second half.

Liverpool's center Firmino kicked the ball for the third time in this game and he kicked the ball to Fabinho.

He didn't run forward, but waited for the two wingers to come up and stayed in the midfield position. This is where Firmino's playing as a center is different from most other centers. He is more like an offensive type.

Midfielder, not even the shadow forward, he touched the ball more times in the midfield than in front of the penalty area throughout the game.

After the start of the second half, he still did not rush to the center position where he should be at the first opportunity.

Klopp knows the characteristics of players, and he also knows that Firmino is such a forward, but at this time, he was still a little anxious. He shouted loudly on the sidelines to let Firmino go up. In fact,

There is a high probability that Firmino will not be able to hear the coach's shouts on the sidelines at all. After all, the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium is full of seats, and the stadium is making noise all the time.

So Klopp's shouting on the sidelines was just about saying he was happy.

At this time, the ball has reached Henderson's feet. Henderson wants to repeat the same trick, pass the ball to Arnold who is on the wing, and then go forward himself, replicating Liverpool's first goal of the game.

ball.

But as soon as Henderson got the ball and was still observing, Van der Beek had already rushed over.

He made a sliding tackle and knocked down Henderson with the ball.

The referee was right in front of him, but soon he signaled for the game to continue.

He did not make any foul calls because the referee could clearly see that Van de Beek had tackled the ball first and did not tackle Henderson. Henderson suddenly lost the ball and his right foot had already swung and lost the ball.

The center of gravity fell to the ground.

When Van der Beek saw that the referee had no indication, he immediately passed the ball to Ziyech on the right.

When Ziyech got the ball, he was about to face Robertson, but Ziyech resolutely dribbled the ball in the direction of Robertson. Just as he was about to collide, Ziyech made a cross directly sideways.

Lean on Robertson and use his strength to pass.

At this time, Lin Kedi suddenly came out from behind Matip, went straight into the penalty area, faced the ball, jumped high, and was about to smash the ball into the net like a tiger coming down the mountain.

But the ball was a little to the left, and Alisson concentrated on blocking the near corner. Alisson stretched out his left hand to block the ball.

But at this time, the ball is still in the penalty area.

As soon as Lin Kedi hit the ground, he wanted to rush to where the ball landed, but at this time, Van Dijk had already kicked the ball directly out of the baseline with his big foot.

"This header was so brilliant. The coordination between Ziyech and Link was perfect, but it was saved, but Ajax still had a chance for a corner kick!"

This corner kick was taken by Van de Beek.

Lin Kedi is still the object of focus. After all, Lin Kedi's second goal was a header.

This time, the people marking Linke became Van Dijk and Matip, Liverpool's central defender combination to mark Linke.

Lin Kedi thought to himself, wouldn't there be fewer people watching other people now?

He thought to himself, Van der Beek, you have to pass it on to someone else, Matthijs.

This way the chances are better.

Van der Beek didn't see this in the penalty area, and he still passed it to Lin Kedi.

Although Lin Kedi also jumped high, under the double-teaming of the two, none of the three people could grab the ball properly. The ball was hit by the back of Van Dijk's head and reached the right side of the penalty area. Here is

Liverpool's midfielder Fabinho was there. As soon as he saw the ball flying towards him, he immediately jumped up and tried his best to push the ball out of the penalty area.

Arnold got the ball outside the penalty area.

He wants to dribble the ball forward quickly or pass the ball out.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was knocked to the ground by the oncoming Tagliafico.

The referee blew his whistle and came over and gave Liverpool a free kick in the backcourt.

However, no yellow card was shown, which aroused dissatisfaction among Liverpool players.

Of course, Liverpool fans were even more dissatisfied, and boos broke out all over the place.

Arnold got up from the ground and wanted to argue with the referee.

Tagliafico, on the other hand, saw that he was not dealt any cards and left the scene of the incident decisively.

Arnold kept complaining to the referee.

The referee on duty, Skomina, did not allow his authority to be questioned and immediately became serious.

Then he picked up his whistle to signal.

"Tagliafico is not a foul worthy of a yellow card. It is a normal physical confrontation. I believe you should feel it when you play in the Premier League! And this is his first foul in this game.

So I won't play cards, I'll keep my rules throughout the game

The degrees are all the same. I hope you can understand my position and penalty scale. Finally, Mr. Arnold, I don’t like the way you are nagging at me, but this is also the first time you have made such a mistake in this game.

So I won’t give you any cards either!”

The referee's implication was also very clear. Arnold was not stupid, on the contrary, he was quite smart, so he heard the implication. After his anger subsided, he turned around, picked up the ball, and pretended to take the penalty.

A free kick looks like.

Then Arnold turned around and put the ball down, preparing to take the backcourt free kick.

Arnold drove the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Firmino wanted to offload the ball first and then split the ball.

But this time, when Firmino rushed towards the ball, Schone got the ball first.

Firmino had no choice but to immediately grab the ball.

Schener adhered to Ajax's usual tactical style, which was to play the ball quickly and pass the ball directly to De Jong who was running forward.

After De Jong got the ball, he passed directly over Van der Beek and made a long pass to Lin Ke, who was on the left in the frontcourt.

"Lin Kedi spent most of his time on the left today."

"Because of Arnold."

"Yes, that's Arnold. Link defeated Arnold today. The success rate so far is still - this time it passed!"

"Lin Kedi passed Arnold five times today, and he succeeded every time!"

This time, after Link defeated Arnold, he did not choose to cut inside.

After all, just because Alexander-Arnold can't defend well doesn't mean his teammates can't help fill in the position. As soon as Link passed Arnold, Liverpool's Fabinho immediately came up and formed a defensive front with Matip.

.

The enemy of Link observed it and stuffed the ball to the top of the arc at the forefront of the penalty area, where Tadic was located.

Tadic got the ball, but when he wanted to shoot, he was blocked by the forwarding Van Dak.
