"The game has only started less than ten minutes. Although we are behind, I believe this is only temporary and we still have plenty of time!"
In the commentary box, Berglin saw that Liverpool's high-pressure press against Monaco became even more crazy after losing the ball, and he couldn't help but become worried.
Beglin found that Liverpool played too hastily, which was a negative impact caused by a backward mentality, and it would not work if it continued like this.
At the same time, Mo Yang on the court also discovered that his teammates' mentality was wrong.
Although he was a little anxious, he knew that such a high-intensity pressing and fast-paced attack could not continue.
He had to slow down the pace so that Salah and the others could wake up.
The current rhythm of the game is not their usual rhythm of the game.
Although the playing looks very fierce, but the speed is fast, there will be more mistakes in handling the ball, there will be more dangers, and the defensive end cannot be comprehensive.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Mendy repeated his old trick and took a long shot from the left rib position in front of Liverpool's goal, but he fired an anti-aircraft cannon.
Karius took a goal kick and Lovren received the ball. He looked up and glanced at the frontcourt. He saw that Mendy was a little forward and wanted to pass a long pass to the back of Monaco's left wing for the fast Salah.
Go chase.
"Lovren!"
Just as he was about to kick off, Lovren saw Mo Yang pull back and reach for the ball.
Lovren hesitated for a moment. Although Mo Yang was the commander, he remembered Klopp's arrangements before the game and he didn't give it and started directly.
Mo Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly. This big brother was usually easy to talk to, but he was a little impatient.
"Flov takes a long pass!"
"Salah!"
"Salah is very fast, oh! Mendy squeezed Salah away with his body!"
"It's a pity that Salah didn't catch the ball, otherwise this would have been a very threatening attack!"
Seeing that the ball was wasted, Mo Yang was very helpless, and at the same time he felt a little angry.
Soon, Monaco once again hit the Liverpool goal through their left wing.
But this time Matip was very decisive and went directly to the ball. He cooperated with Klein tacitly, forcing Monaco to be unable to move the ball for a while.
In the end, Lemar had to make a hasty pass to find Falcao in the penalty area.
This Colombian has a fierce and predatory style of play.
As a forward, Falcao has superb shooting skills, strong body, excellent header, strong sense of grabbing points, keen sense of smell in front of the goal, and strong scoring ability with both left and right feet. He can be called the template of a high-quality shooter.
After the ball passed into the penalty area, Falcao, who was standing between Lovren and Matip, jumped up under the pull and directly hit the flying ball.
Although the ball was very close, Karius, who was highly focused, made a world-class save.
With a super-quick reaction, he directly reached out to block Falcao's header off the crossbar. After falling to the ground, he quickly got up, waving his fists and roaring.
"Wow!"
The Liverpool fans at the scene all let out a cry of surprise. Their hearts were about to hit rock bottom, but they were pulled back by Karius's amazing save.
"What are you doing?"
"What's the rush?"
"There is still so much time in the game!"
Mo Yang exploded, roaring directly at the top of the arc, his face a bit ferocious.
All the Liverpool players looked a little shocked, and Salah was so frightened that his neck shrank.
"Captain! It's scary to have an angry penis!" Salah smiled at Henderson in front of the penalty area.
"He has the right to be angry!" Henderson said with a straight face.
Not to mention Mo Yang, he also wants to get angry!
But seeing that his commander was still conscious, he was completely relieved.
As long as my commander doesn't lose his mind, losing the ball is nothing!
Sooner or later we can get it back!
Henderson always believes in Mo Yang when it comes to organizing offense!
If you don’t believe it, it won’t work. Your face will be swollen instantly, can you believe it?
This scene was also clearly captured by the live broadcast camera, which shocked many fans watching the game.
This was the first time they saw Mo Yang getting angry on the court, showing such a ferocious expression, as if he wanted to eat someone!
Soon, Monaco took a corner kick. This time Karius made an accurate judgment and did not give Monaco a chance. He directly struck and picked off the ball with both hands.
The goal kick was taken again, and it was Lovren again.
Seeing Mo Yang reaching out for the ball, Lovren didn't dare not give it to him this time, otherwise he would probably be beaten by a scumbag.
Klopp emphasized more than once that if Mo Yang wants the ball, he must give it immediately and unconditionally without any discussion, otherwise he will simply make himself uncomfortable.
After Mo Yang received the ball, he directly raised his hands and pressed down, signaling to each of his teammates to slow down the offensive rhythm.
Others in Liverpool saw Mo Yang's action. Although they didn't understand why Mo Yang slowed down, they had no choice but to follow the order.
But soon, they knew very clearly the reason why Mo Yang slowed down his pace.
The rhythm slowed down, and while they got a rest, they suddenly felt a little like their usual rhythm in the league.
This rhythm is the one they are most comfortable with.
In the coaching area, Klopp, who originally looked anxious, saw the changes in his team, first he looked confused, then he was amazed, and then he smiled brightly.
Before the game, although Klopp asked the team to pick up the pace at the beginning to attack Monaco, he did not expect that Monaco, playing away from home, would have the courage to have the same idea as him.
As a result, Liverpool conceded the goal first, and it was obviously inappropriate to continue to maintain a fast pace at this time.
However, just when he was hesitating whether to make adjustments so early, it actually saved trouble, Mo Yang helped him adjust.
This is the benefit of having a super brain and super commander in the team.
No wonder Leeds United let Mo Yang go. Every time Bielsa sees him, he is like seeing the enemy who killed his father, staring and looking for trouble everywhere.
Klopp knew that Mo Yang's tactical awareness was extremely sensitive, but he was still extremely shocked when he actually saw this sensitive tactical awareness displayed.
In the next few minutes, Liverpool was completely stabilized by Mo Yang. Both offense and defense played very steadily.
The most intuitive manifestation is the surge in passing success rate and ball possession rate.
In addition, driven by Mo Yang's off-the-ball movement, Liverpool's midfield interception rate has greatly improved, and several midfield interceptions have blocked Monaco's attack.
"Yang is really a unique midfield genius. His roar just woke up all his teammates. This is Yang's role in the team. It's great! Guys, I love this little guy!" Commentator
Beglin praised him again and again, saying, "What a smart player, what a commander with an overall view of the situation, how can we not love him?"
Monaco feels the changes in Liverpool most clearly.
The most obvious thing is that they find it harder to get the ball through Liverpool's midfield.
The black-haired Asian often appears on the best passing route of their offense, forcing them to temporarily change the direction of their offense.
As soon as the offensive direction changed, the offensive rhythm was immediately delayed, and then the fast offensive rhythm they wanted to play was completely unable to pick up.
It gives people a very uncomfortable feeling, as if you are about to come out when you get into the tub, but you are suddenly yelled at and held back. That feeling really makes them want to die!
Although it would be difficult for Monaco to launch a quick attack in the first ten minutes of the game in the next game, their super offensive ability that blossomed more allowed them to seize several very good opportunities and play several extremely powerful shots.
Threatened attack.
As for Liverpool, Mo Yang also sent several penetrating through balls, but unfortunately he was always a bit unlucky and failed to equalize.
Four minutes into the game, Mo Yang received a pass from Henderson on the left side of the center circle.
The ball was passed long from the backcourt, a half-high ball.
But the ball stopped Mo Yang as if it was stuck to his feet, and the fans cheered thunderously.
Mo Yang stopped the ball and turned around, but Bakayoko also moved very quickly and was almost in front of Mo Yang.
At the same time, Dilar on Moyang's left side also quickly blocked Moyang's cross pass point, and Falcao behind him also retreated and pressed forward.
The three people's positions formed a tripod shape, imprisoning Mo Yang inside.
Mo Yang was very self-aware, and he would definitely not be able to beat this Monaco French midfielder even if he tried his best, so he quickly took action.
Although Bakayoko made a decisive move, his purpose was to force Mo Yang to pass the ball to the wing.
As long as Coutinho receives the ball, he will be surrounded on the wing in an instant. This is a tactical trap preset for Coutinho.
Although Mo Yang is Monaco's most important research target, Coutinho, a scorer, cannot escape.
Before the game, Monaco head coach Jardim made special tactical arrangements for the Brazilian, who is extremely capable of breaking away and scoring.
But unfortunately, Monaco's wish soon came true.
After Mo Yang stopped the ball, he neither moved forward nor retreated, but took small steps to adjust on the spot. After waiting for a second or two, he suddenly took off.
This pass was beyond everyone's expectations!
It was neither given to Coutinho nor Salah on the right, but to Firmino who suddenly advanced in the middle of the frontcourt.
Under the gaze of nearly 60,000 pairs of eyes at the scene, the ball was passed directly to Firmino's feet like a cruise missile with astonishing accuracy.
This is not the first time Firmino has received such a ball, but his heart is still filled with emotions. This kid's passing is really too accurate.
"Oh ho ho! Yang's precise long pass, Firmino must have a guide on his foot!"
"Chance!!!"
"Firmino!"
Under Berglin's elongated voice explanation, Firmino caught the ball and turned around in one go.
Then, from between the two central defenders who were far apart, he dribbled the ball from the top of the arc into the Monaco penalty area and faced goalkeeper Subasic.
“Gooooooaaaaal!!!!”
"Firmino, a calm push equalized the score for us!"
When the fans at the scene saw the goal, they all jumped up from their seats with excitement, causing the whole Anfield to tremble three times.
The Liverpool players also went crazy on the field. They quickly gathered in front of the KOP stands like a torrent of red, celebrating wildly.
Mo Yang also passed by, and Firmino didn't waste his pass. He was very happy.
Klopp waved his fist on the sidelines and was interacting with the fans in the stands behind him.
His long golden hair flew in front of his forehead with his powerful and passionate movements, which made the fans in the stands scream.
Soon, the game restarted, but the stoppage time was only one minute. It didn’t take long for the referee to blow the whistle to end the first half. (To be continued)
