Under the spotlight, with the whistle of the referee Oliver, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Liverpool and Juventus officially kicked off.
After the game started, Klopp stood in the coaching area and began to observe Juventus' tactics in this game.
Allegri's sudden change to 433 made Klopp smell an unusual and dangerous smell.
Although he knew before the game that the only way left for Juventus was to attack.
But seeing the all-out competitive spirit displayed by Juventus after the game started, he felt a little worried for some reason.
But after much thought, he didn't think there was a possibility of them losing.
Regardless of the players' competitive state or psychological state, Liverpool players are currently at their peak.
And this is at Anfield, they have home advantage.
But Klopp calculated everything, but he ignored a very important factor.
On the field, Mo Yang was very keenly aware of the difference in Juventus at the beginning of the game.
If Juventus's midfielder in the first round was at the bronze level, then this game gave him the feeling that it had risen to the gold level exponentially. The midfielder's synergy and organizational skills took on a new look, the conduction became smoother, and the midfielder's
The radiation range has also been greatly expanded.
All these changes came from Pjanic, Juventus’ midfielder in the game, whom the Italian media calls Juventus’ Pirlo II.
But this thought only flashed through Mo Yang's head, and he didn't take Juventus' changes to heart.
Because as long as they perform normally, Juventus has almost no chance of a comeback.
But the subsequent development of the game was far beyond Mo Yang's expectation, and left nearly 50,000 Red Army fans at the scene confused.
At 2 minutes and 12 seconds into the game, Juventus controlled the ball in the backcourt.
On Liverpool's side, Salah and the three men pressed hard, and the entire formation pressed forward and continued to press high.
But under the command of Juventus midfielder Pjanic, Juventus' backcourt transmission looks thrilling, but in fact it is not a big threat.
The ball was smoothly transferred to the left side. Chiellini stopped the ball and scanned the frontcourt left and right. Then he calmly took off the ball before Salah could press him. He passed the ball directly to the right side and passed it to Ludsilio on the right.
.
After taking the ball, De Sciglio quickly advanced along the wing.
As soon as he reached the center line, Milner rushed forward to press.
De Sciglio had no intention of getting into trouble with Milner. He clearly remembered Allegri's instructions before the game.
So he quickly passed forward before Milner could get close to Costa, who was retreating to meet him.
At the same time, Khedira also came closer, and the three of them directly formed a triangle position.
Costa did not stop the ball, but directly pushed the ball in front of Khedira, creating a one-two against the wall.
Liverpool were not careless. Henderson followed Khedira from the center. Milner also got stuck in front of De Sciglio to block the return line. Robertson on the wing also got stuck behind Costa.
3V3!
Seeing the ball being rolled over, Henderson, who was behind Khedira, stretched out his foot and stabbed it.
His original intention was to pass the ball to Robertson behind Costa, but whether due to lack of concentration or the speed of the ball, he missed the pass and the ball rolled directly towards Costa.
After making a mistake, Henderson quickly let go of Khedira and rushed over.
But Costa was faster than him, bursting out on the spot, picking up the ball before him, and jumping up with him. Not only did he get the half ball, but he also passed Henderson.
Then Costa immediately started to speed up, took the inside line, and went directly to Liverpool's left rib.
Van Dijk had already seen Khedira coming from the wing, but he couldn't pass because Robertson had not had time to come back.
So Van Dijk, knowing that Costa would split the sides, could only choose to stay in position.
After approaching the ribs, Costa suddenly split the ball and pushed the ball in front of Khedira.
Van Dijk had been waiting sideways for a long time. He rushed directly to the sideline of the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Khedira did not give him a chance to get close and make defensive moves.
As soon as Khedira stepped into the penalty area, he suddenly got up and made a pass.
Immediately, the ball flew towards Liverpool's other goal post as accurately as if it was equipped with a locator.
At the back point, no one was marking Mandzukic, soaring into the air with the power of sprinting from the small penalty area line, and directly blasted the ball passed by Khedira into the net.
0-1!
"oh!!!!!!!!"
When the Red Army fans at the scene saw this scene, they all held their heads and stared, as if they couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.
We conceded the goal in the first two minutes. This shouldn't be the case!
On the sidelines, Klopp was also a little confused. He did not expect to lose the ball so early.
Next to him, Allegri raised his fists in the air in celebration, roared, and then kept applauding to cheer for the disciples on the field.
On the court, Mo Yang, who was standing at the top of the arc, looked stunned. He felt a little bad.
"If I have to find someone to take the blame for this goal, it can only be Henderson." Zhang Lu smiled in the LeTV live broadcast room, "Henderson's mistake caused Costa to launch a quick counterattack after getting the ball.
Mo Yang and Milner, who participated in the high-position press in the frontcourt, simply could not come back in time."
"This resulted in Moyang and Milner being unable to return to the two ribs in time to form defense with the full-backs, allowing Juventus to form a passive 5-on-3 situation in the penalty area."
"And Robertson, because he went up to press, Van Dijk was forced to move to the wing to cover for him, so Matip and Klein also had to move to the right, which led to the back
I missed someone."
"Look at the back of the slow motion, Klein is staring at Matuidi in front of him. He is filling Matuidi's position. At this time, he doesn't care about what is behind him at all. It is impossible for one person to stare at him.
Live in two locations.”
"Mandzukic's header was so beautiful! And Khedira's pass was as accurate as if it was equipped with a locator." Zhang Lu analyzed it very clearly, which made countless domestic fans in the live broadcast room suddenly realize.
"So it's Klopp's fault?"
"That's for sure! It's so exciting in the frontcourt!"
"..."
Fans in the live broadcast room were talking a lot, and Klopp was directly blamed.
On the field, after scoring a goal, Juventus, which had been in the darkness, saw a ray of light, so they collectively charged towards the ray of light. The momentum of unity was very shocking.
As for Liverpool, in the next period of time, facing Juventus' high-intensity and large-scale pressing, they seemed a little flustered and embarrassed.
So Juventus seized the opportunity and used the two wings to continuously attack Liverpool's defense.
At 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the game, Juventus once again conducted a pass from the backcourt, leading the Liverpool players to move forward and start a high-position press. Benatia directly made a long pass and drove the ball to the Liverpool defense.
In the backcourt, Van Dijk forced Higuain away, causing neither of them to touch the ball.
The ball bounced high on the ground, and Van Dijk and Higuain chased the ball one after another. As a result, Matip also came to join in the fun, causing him and Van Dijk to almost collide.
The ball was cleared directly to the wing by Matip.
Costa once again seized the opportunity to attack and rushed directly towards the ball.
Matip also rushed over, got stuck between Costa and Higuain and rushed towards the ball.
Costa quickly hooked the ball back before it left the sideline, then went straight forward and used his speed to eat Matip alive.
Costa made a direct pass after getting down.
In front of the goal, Karius fell to the ground and pounced on the ball, preventing the ball from reaching the back post.
But the ball hit his hand and rolled forward, right in front of Higuain.
Higuain immediately wanted to stab him.
In a flash of lightning, Van Dijk's long legs appeared, grabbing the ball in front of Higuain and clearing the ball out of the baseline.
"fool!"
Seeing this thrilling scene, the 50,000 Red Army fans present were so frightened that they almost had a heart attack.
