After Mo Yang controlled the rhythm and helped Liverpool get a goal back, the game entered a stalemate. In the next ten minutes, no one scored, and everyone was trying to find a way to break the opponent's goal.
"The tempo of the game is now in Mo Yang's hands. He is really smart. He has slowed down the tempo. Now Liverpool's possession of the ball is obviously higher than that of Tottenham. This is why Tottenham's counterattack in these ten minutes is not as threatening as in the first ten minutes.
That’s the root cause.”
"This is the importance of having a midfield rhythm master! Mo Yang is becoming more and more skilled in controlling rhythm. He is on the right path and has the style of a general. Given time, he will definitely reach the level of those legends.
The same height as a rhythm master! Even beyond!"
In the live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were also discussing the changes between the two parties during this period.
At the 45th minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines raised a sign indicating injury time.
Two minutes!
Just when all the fans thought this was the score in the first half, the situation suddenly changed again.
46 minutes and 18 seconds of the game.
When Tottenham were defending, they received a byline ball on the right side of their own penalty area.
Aurier's ultra-long-distance sideline ball was thrown directly to Son Heung-min on the sideline slightly behind the center line of the frontcourt like a grenade.
Moreno and Son Heung-min won the battle for the top spot!
But he resisted and passed the ball to Kane on the right back.
Fortunately, after making the mistake, Matip was highly concentrated. He rushed from behind Kane, jumped up and stretched his head first, and headed the ball to Mo Yang.
Mo Yang half-turned and passed the ball across the middle to the middle. Ali, who was originally running towards Mo Yang, immediately changed his target and ran horizontally to the middle.
Milner advanced with the ball and when he saw Ali rushing towards him, he suddenly swung his legs sideways.
Ali thought it was a long pass and immediately stretched out his foot to block it, but Milner faked a dunk.
But an accident happened at this time. Milner, who was overconfident in his foot skills, smashed a handful of air when he smashed the ball, and the ball slipped away on its own.
The Red Army fans at the scene were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. This is okay!
Ali saw the pie falling from the sky and immediately blocked his position to take the ball and attack the Liverpool penalty area.
At this moment, Milner, who had slipped a lot, caught up with him, fell to the ground behind him and put a shovel on Ali, knocking him down.
The referee Andry Varina ran over and showed him a yellow card directly.
Klopp was roaring on the sidelines because he just saw an opportunity to attack.
If Milner passes the ball immediately and finds Salah, who has already moved to the right, it will definitely form a very threatening attack.
However, Milner chose to play tricks and lost the ball.
This scene left Klopp extremely speechless!
Milner's foul also gave Tottenham the last opportunity to attack before half-time, which was a set-piece attack.
Although the set kick was 40 meters away and close to the center circle, Liverpool did not dare to be careless and almost all players returned to defend.
In a blink of an eye, Eriksen drove the ball over the Liverpool penalty area and found Kane.
Kane and Matip rushed into the penalty area, but Matip on the left took advantage of his position and jumped high to clear the ball.
However, an accident occurred at this time. The cleared ball was not pushed far, but landed in the penalty area at the top of the arc.
Ali was just wandering outside the top of the arc. No one was there to defend him, and he hit the falling ball with a powerful and heavy volley.
In front of the small penalty area, Gomez and Lovren both stretched their legs to block the ball, but failed to block it.
I don’t know whether Ali’s shot was intentional or unintentional. The ball he took out bounced on the lawn, just escaped the blockage, refracted and grazed the left post and entered the goal, leaving Mignolet beyond reach.
On the sidelines, Klopp kicked someone's mineral water away on the lawn, and then walked into the players' tunnel angrily.
This goal is not due to Matip’s header not going far enough!
The position where Ali shot was supposed to be covered by the midfielder.
As a result, Henderson just followed the ball and ran into the penalty area without covering the position of Ali's shot. This allowed Ali to calmly start the shot without any interference. It's a damn thing if he didn't lose the ball!
After the restart, the referee blew the half-time whistle.
When the players from both teams came off the field, compared with the jubilant Tottenham players, it was obvious that the morale of the Liverpool players had been severely damaged.
Seeing a bottle of water on the sidelines of the players' tunnel, Mo Yang, who had a look on his face and kept strangers away, stepped on it, causing water to splash everywhere.
Tottenham fans burst into laughter and boos when they saw Mo Yang venting.
After the halftime break, players from both sides returned to the court and the game changed sides again.
But Liverpool made a direct substitution.
Klopp took Lovren, but it was not a matchup substitution. He replaced Wijnaldum, adjusted Gomez to the center back position, and then pulled Milner back to play.
Full back.
The effect of this substitution was evident within five minutes.
After the start of the second half, Tottenham's combination of wing and center attack did not result in a single attack.
"Judging from the situation in these five minutes of the game, Klopp's substitution is effective. Not only has Liverpool's defense become more stable now, but the hardness of the midfield has also been strengthened!" Zhang Lu analyzed.
"This is the world-famous coach who uses one substitution to achieve two tactical goals!" Zhan Jun nodded and smiled.
In the 60th minute of the game, Klopp's adjustment achieved his tactical purpose.
Tottenham played a short pass in the middle to attract Liverpool's defense and then suddenly separated the sides.
As a result, when he unexpectedly transferred the ball to Son Heung-min who was pulling wide, Wijnaldum saw through his intention and directly intercepted the ball with a sliding tackle. Liverpool directly formed a counterattack opportunity.
After Wijnaldum got up, he did not pass the ball, but slowly dribbled the ball forward. He deliberately waited for Alli, Aurier and Winks in the middle to surround him before suddenly making a long pass to the other side.
Seeing the ball coming, Rose and Eriksen immediately moved closer to Mo Yang. Once Mo Yang stopped the ball, the two would immediately attack.
Unfortunately, Mo Yang had no intention of stopping the ball.
In full view of everyone, Mo Yang, who was caught in the middle, once again made an unexpected move.
Mo Yang suddenly jumped up, with his left foot facing backward and his right foot forward, directly hitting the ball and passing the ball out again.
The ball moved to the right again, this time directly towards Salah.
Aurier, who was led forward by Wijnaldum, found out and ran back frantically, but it was already too late.
Salah quickly unloaded the ball before it went out of the sideline, and then quickly took the ball and cut inside.
Vertonghen saw Salah slowing down and thought he was about to break through.
It turned out not to be!
Salah suddenly took off his foot at a 45-degree angle and passed the ball to the back post.
And Mane on the left also broke away from Alderweireld's marking at the moment of passing the ball, jumped on the left sideline of the small penalty area, and neatly marked the ball into Tottenham who was guarded by Lloris.
door.
“goal!!!!!!!!!”
"Yang once again showed us his imagination in offense!" In the commentary box, Beglin pounded the table and laughed wildly.
Another goal was pulled back, making everyone at Liverpool extremely excited.
Mignolet even ran from the front of the fans to midfield and jumped on Mo Yang's back.
Although this goal was not assisted by Mo Yang, Mo Yang's contribution is also huge.
On the sidelines, Klopp clenched his fists and roared. This was the adjustment effect he wanted.
Now there is only one goal left, and there is still time in the game. They can definitely tie the score, or even overtake the score. It is not impossible!
In the stands, Maradona stood up and applauded for the first time. His applause was obviously for Liverpool. He was stunned by Mo Yang's pass.
"So angry!"
"It's really amazing. You can pass the ball so far with this posture! I'm convinced!"
“Looking forward to Brother Yang’s performance in the World Cup next year!”
The live broadcast room was full of barrages. Although it was not Mo Yang's assist, no one could deny Mo Yang's contribution to this goal.
