At 7 pm local time in Italy, the Allianz Stadium, which can accommodate 41,000 fans, was packed.
On the field, players from both sides have finished warming up and are holding a pre-match Champions League ceremony.
In the LeTV Sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu have already begun to analyze the two teams before the game.
"As the defending champion of Serie A and the winner of the Serie A championship in the past six seasons, Juventus continues to remain strong this season."
“After 30 rounds of Serie A, Juventus currently ranks at the top of Serie A with a record of 25 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. It is worth mentioning that Juventus has remained unbeaten in the last 25 games in all competitions, and has played nine consecutive games.
They kept a clean sheet, showing their world-class defensive capabilities!"
As the Champions League ceremony ends and the game time approaches, players from both sides appear on the stage.
The formations of Liverpool and Juventus also appeared on the big screen in the live broadcast room in time.
Juventus:(442)
Goalkeeper:Buffon
Defenders: De Sciglio, Barzagli, Chiellini, Asamoah
Midfielder: Costa, Bentancur, Khedira, Sandro
Forwards: Higuain, Dybala
Liverpool:(433)
Forwards: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah
Midfielder: Mo Yang, Henderson, Wijnaldum
Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold
Goalkeeper: Alisson
"Although Liverpool is playing away from home in this game, it actually still has a certain advantage." After seeing the lineups of both sides, Zhan Jun laughed.
"Hehe!" Zhang Lu laughed, "Indeed, Juventus is missing many main players in this game. For example, striker Mandzukic, center back Benatia, and midfielder Pjanic are all injured or suspended.
And without it, this is Liverpool's advantage."
"Do you think that finger has a big impact on Juventus?" Zhan Jun asked.
"The injury of center back Benatia has little impact. Now Barzagli is in very good condition and can basically make up for the impact of Benatia's absence."
"But the absence of centers Mandzukic and Pjanic will have a huge impact on Juventus."
"Especially the suspended Pjanic!"
"Because Pjanic has now become the core of Juventus' midfield, his ability is actually much better than Khedira's in terms of offense and defense."
Zhang Lu finished her words, and before Zhan Jun could speak, she added: "I don't know if you have paid attention to the age structure of the two teams. Juventus players are generally older. This does have an advantage in experience, but in terms of physical fitness, they are
Far inferior to those in Liverpool whose average age is in their early twenties.”
"So although Juventus is playing at home, I think they will have a hard time facing Liverpool with a complete lineup."
While the two of them were analyzing each other, the game on the court had officially begun.
After Ibrahimovic kicked off, Mo Yang got the ball and immediately followed Klopp's pre-match arrangement to start the game. He quickly tried to organize two attacks from the side, allowing Mane and Salah to take turns to test.
Although the two attacks failed to score in the end, Mo Yang quickly understood what Klopp said about the Serie A steel defense.
how to say!
Mo Yang felt that it was indeed very strong!
Juventus' defense gave Mo Yang a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
This game feels paradoxical to the Chelsea game.
In short, Mo Yang found it very novel, because Juventus's slow and unhurried playing style made Mo Yang feel very different.
After watching it for five minutes on the sidelines, Klopp's uneasy heart dropped.
Since being drawn to Juventus, Klopp has been studying this old woman day and night.
Klopp found that Juventus's strategy in the knockout rounds of the Champions League was completely different from that in the domestic battlefield.
In the Champions League, their main strategy is to shrink their defense.
Mainly adopt regional overall defense, through positional area coverage, and occupy key areas to complete effective defense against opponents.
After containing the opponent's attack, look for a counterattack that is both efficient and fast.
The same is true when looking at the running and positioning of Juventus players in these five minutes of this game.
Klopp did not dare to press too high in this game, because Juventus is different from those teams coached by Italian head coaches in the Premier League.
Defensive counterattack has been deeply ingrained in the marrow of this wealthy team. Once they seize the opportunity, it will be really fatal.
As the game time passed, Mo Yang suddenly felt that Juventus' defense was stable, but the offense and counterattack were not as strong as Klopp described, and instead were a bit stretched.
Mo Yang didn't know if this was his illusion.
But he wasn't going to give up this opportunity.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to test it out first.
So under his command, Liverpool's formation slowly began to move forward bit by bit.
On the sidelines, Klopp, who had returned to the coaching bench, suddenly discovered that the team's defense had almost reached the center circle, so he got up and walked to the sidelines again.
It didn't take long for Klopp to be amused.
He saw that this was Mo Yang's test, "What a smart little guy!"
In fact, not long after the game started, Klopp also noticed that Juventus' offense seemed a bit constipated.
But after all, it was an away game, so he didn't dare to take too many risks.
As long as we can keep the opponent clean, even if we don't score a goal, we can go back to Anfield and deal with Juventus.
Next to Klopp, Allegri also noticed Liverpool's overall formation moving forward.
At this time, he was surprised. He didn't expect Mo Yang to discover the weaknesses in their midfield and forwards so quickly.
But at the same time, he felt helpless because Pjanic and Mandzukic were injured and suspended.
In the 8th minute of the game, Mo Yang, who was a little excited, had already run to Mane's position.
Robertson got the ball in front of Mo Yang. In front of him, Juventus right backs De Sciglio and Costa stood together in front of him. They slowly refused to take the ball, and the three of them just stood there and stared at each other.
Mo Yang, who was standing behind the two of them, had a strange look on his face. This would be unimaginable in the Premier League. If you want to stop there and stare, just have your dream. Those Premier League players won't make you fly off the earth.
Finished.
At this moment, Robertson started the first aggressive move of the game.
He moved his left foot to the right, and then knocked the ball forward with his right foot in an abrupt and consistent manner. The ball slipped through the narrow gap between De Sciglio and Costa's feet and was pushed directly in front of Mo Yang.
"oh!!!!"
"A beautiful through ball from Robertson!"
Seeing this, Berglin in the commentary box became more energetic.
As a Premier League commentator, Berglin really hates watching Serie A games. They are slow, either on defense or on the way to defense.
After Mo Yang got the ball, his original intention was to pass directly.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, Juventus center back Chiellini had already chosen his position in advance and blocked the passing line immediately.
At the same time, De Sciglio also came back, and the two of them joined forces to directly force Mo Yang towards the corner flagpole.
On the sidelines, Klopp grinned when he saw this scene.
In his eyes, Mo Yang's attack is probably going to be bad.
Even though he knew that Mo Yang had strong breakthrough ability, Chiellini and De Sciglio did not stick to Mo Yang immediately. Instead, they kept a certain distance in order to slowly push Mo Yang to a dead end.
The more than 2,000 Red Army fans who came to watch the game with the team also felt very sorry.
Robertson's pass is really beautiful and full of charisma!
However, within a few seconds, whether it was the fans, Klopp, or Allegri, they were all slapped in the face by Mo Yang, and their faces were shown off.
