Many fans feel that both sides will play very cautiously in this game.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the game started, both Monaco and Liverpool, who were playing at home, immediately accelerated their attacking pace.
"I didn't expect it at all! I didn't expect it at all! It's like starting in ninth gear and racing against each other. It seems that Klopp and Jardim thought of it together!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and others were all surprised. They did not expect that the game would start with such a fast-paced attack.
Especially Monaco, they dare to play so fiercely in an away game, which is very surprising.
In this short period of time on the court, there were constant thrills in front of the goals of both teams, which caused the fans at the scene to scream louder and louder.
In less than five minutes, both sides actually had two shots on goal, which shows how fast the transition between offense and defense was.
In the blink of an eye, after Liverpool stole the ball in the backcourt, Klein directly took a long pass to Mo Yang on the right side of the circle.
Monaco conducted an extremely detailed analysis of Liverpool before the game, and Mo Yang was naturally their key research target.
The final conclusion is that players like Mo Yang cannot be completely targeted.
We can only carry out regional zone defense against him and block his forward ball route. If that doesn't work, we have to resort to tactical fouls. Only in this way can we limit Liverpool's commander to the greatest extent.
Seeing Mo Yang preparing to catch the ball, Fabinho, who is 188cm tall, immediately moved to Mo Yang's side, trying to grab Liverpool's long pass from the backcourt.
But he never expected that with his height and jumping ability, he would not be able to jump against Mo Yang, who was only 180cm tall. What kind of jumping ability and ability to stay in the air did this kid have.
But Mo Yang's next move made Fabinho look like he saw a ghost.
After Mo Yang got the ball, he directly pushed the ball under his feet. But as soon as the ball dropped to the height of his thigh, he suddenly raised his knee and pushed it against the ball.
Suddenly the ball received force and was directly passed horizontally to the other half.
Because Liverpool's attack on the right is very fast, Monaco's defensive focus is completely shifted to the left, leaving their right side a little empty.
"Oh my God! Yang used a brand new passing method! He pushed the ball to his knees with his head, and then passed it with his knees. This is simply genius-like creativity!" Commentator Sibe Green saw Mo Yang doing this
The fairy ball was passed on and off continuously, and the voice of the commentator suddenly increased and became extremely sharp.
"So beautiful! How did he come up with such a pass!"
"Even if average players can think of it, they will never be able to do it."
"That's why I always say that the brains of geniuses are different from the brains of ordinary people!"
"Mo Yang actually thought about how to deal with this ball before jumping up to fight for it."
"Look at the positions of Lemar, Fabinho and Seat B. Once Mo Yang stops the ball, he will immediately fall into the double-team of these three people. I have to say, Mo Yang's vision is really good.
It’s so outstanding!”
In the LeTV live broadcast room, the Zhan Jun trio praised Mo Yang while analyzing to the fans how awesome, clever and clever Mo Yang's pass was.
But it's a pity that Milner, who was driven in from behind by Liverpool, stopped a little too much in this ball, which directly delayed the best attacking time.
By the time Milner brought the ball to the ribs of the penalty area, Monaco's center back Glick and right back Sibedi had quickly returned to defend.
Because Mo Yang passed the ball suddenly and caught the Monaco defenders off guard, there was a little confusion when returning to defense.
Sibedi rushed directly towards Milner, while Glick retreated into the penalty area at the top of the arc. He saw the gap behind Sibedi, but did not fill it. Once it passed, he just covered the west wall and demolished the east wall.
Coutinho saw the huge gap on the left side of Monaco's penalty area and immediately inserted it between Glik and Sibedi.
Milner also pushed the ball into the gap as soon as Coutinho started. The two worked together in perfect harmony.
Coutinho did not stop directly, but turned sideways and passed the ball in front of him before catching it.
He took the ball to the small penalty area on the left and directly took off his foot and shot into the far corner of the goal.
But Glick was well prepared and directly blocked Coutinho's push.
The ball bounced behind Coutinho and was picked up by Monaco midfielder Bakayoko who was following behind.
Instant offensive and defensive castling!
Liverpool's midfield and back lines shrink crazily towards their own half!
The striker line of Coutinho, Firmino, and Salah instantly launched a counterattack on the spot and resolutely carried out their boss's arrangements.
After receiving the ball, Bakayoko did not pass it directly, but quickly dribbled the ball in.
Firmino caught up directly, trying to entangle Bakayoko with the ball and delay Monaco's attack, but his body was not at the same level as Bakayoko's, and Bakayoko raised his hand to block him.
Behind him.
At this moment, Coutinho also chased up from the right side of Bakayoko and directly engaged Firmino.
But Bakayoko's body was too strong and he still used his body to protect the ball.
But he did not dare to continue to lead forward, but quickly kicked off the ball and passed it to Dilar who had been waiting for him to pass the ball on the right side of the road.
Dilard dribbled the ball very quickly and in a blink of an eye it was near the right rib of Liverpool's backcourt.
But facing the double defense of Milner and Mo Yang, he was immediately blocked. He had to make a smart change of direction and dribble the ball laterally towards the center.
But after just a few steps, he suddenly made a cross to the left!
Monaco's left back Mendy came in from behind at high speed, and like a rampaging elephant, he rushed past Henderson and Lallana with the ball. It was simply unreasonable.
On the line of Liverpool's penalty area, Falcao stood between Matip and Lovren.
This made Matip dare not easily attack, but the moment he hesitated, Mendy directly kicked up and shot.
The ball went straight to Falcao, but Falcao, as if he and Mendy had a tacit understanding, jumped up and let the ball pass.
In front of the Liverpool goal, Karius was a little unfocused, and Falcao blocked his sight. When he found out that the ball was coming, he was shocked.
But his extremely fast reaction speed in front of the goal was revealed at this time. He picked up onions on a dry ground, but this guy chose to catch the ball instead of hitting the ball.
So Karius, who misjudged the power of Mendy's shot, took his shot instantly.
The ball landed in front of Karius.
Karius panicked and wanted to pounce on the ball, but Falcao didn't give him a chance. He rushed there before him, stretched out his right foot and pushed, and the ball immediately rolled in against the left goal post.
The goal.
The nearly 50,000 Red Army fans who were at the scene were dazzled by the speed of the transition between offense and defense. Seeing the birth of this goal, many people could not believe it. A second or two later, Anfield could hear earth-shattering sounds of annoyance.
After Falcao scored, he ran directly to the stands of his own fans.
Although it was an away game, a small number of Monaco fans came over to cheer for their team.
The other Monaco players were also very excited, and they all ran to Falcao to join in the celebration. Some even danced, which made the home Red Army fans curse and boo.
"Karius made a fatal mistake! He shouldn't have received the ball. He misjudged the power of Mendy's shot and caused the ball to slip away!"
Berglin, who was in the commentary box, was holding his hair with both hands and had an angry expression on his face. In his opinion, this loss of the ball was very inappropriate!
If Monaco scores the first goal, the next game may be difficult. Monaco, playing away from home, is likely to engage in defensive counterattacks.
Mo Yang stood in front of the penalty area with his hands on his hips, breathing heavily, with a look of helplessness on his face.
He now knows why the Champions League is considered the highest quality, most influential and highest level competition in the world.
The intensity of this kind of competition is simply not comparable to that of the league. No wonder so many powerful teams fail year after year. The fundamental reason is that there are no weak teams in the Champions League. If you are not careful, you will be overturned in an instant.
When playing in the Champions League, the mental attributes of each team's players are completely different from those in the league. This is a state inspired by top honors.
Klopp was so angry that he danced in the coaching area on the sidelines.
This is what he is worried about. Matip and Klavan cannot serve as the core of the defense and are not decisive and resolute enough in defense.
Both defense and offense are changing rapidly on the court. Sometimes a slight hesitation can lead to a huge mistake. (To be continued)
