Chapter 140: Liverpool was stunned by the collective beating
"Liverpool's performance in the first ten minutes of the opening was very bad. Everyone on the field seemed not in good spirits. Their competitive state was equally bad. They were not as fast as Juventus!"
BT Sports Channel, Manchester United star Ferdinand directly criticized Liverpool's opening performance.
Lineker nodded and smiled: "Yes, at the beginning of the game, everyone including Yang played without energy, lacked concentration, and was very relaxed. They acted as if they had already advanced."
Irving smiled and interjected, saying: "In the first ten minutes, Liverpool did a very poor job of pressing in the frontcourt. When they conceded the first ball, Robertson didn't even get close to Costa to press. He just stood behind and watched Costa get the ball."
Gerrard felt a little helpless. He didn't expect the game to start like this.
But he also knew why Moyang and the others behaved this way.
Because the current Liverpool team is too young, this is one of the side effects of the youth storm. The players have been paralyzed by consecutive victories.
After listening silently for a while, Jela spoke up and said with a smile: "But Yang woke up quickly. Look at his performance during this period. Not only did he quickly calm down the team's chaos, he also started to
Fight back against Juventus.”
The three of Irving nodded and agreed with Gerrard's words. They were all former top players. How could they not notice Mo Yang's performance.
On the field, as Liverpool began to counterattack, Juventus' offensive slowed down slightly.
But it only slowed down a bit. It was still full attack and full defense, with united efforts.
Once there is an opportunity to attack, they will pounce collectively like hyenas on the African savannah, biting Liverpool's defense like crazy.
As the game time goes by, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides is getting faster and faster. You come and go, and the fans at the scene are dizzy.
On Liverpool's side, after the offense recovered slightly, Mo Yang and Milner took advantage of Juventus' mistakes in the midfield to launch a counterattack with several kicks, trying to tear apart Juventus' defense through tacit links and passes.
But facing Juventus' intensive regional defense, the position attack effect was not good.
Although Salah and Firmino both completed shots, they were either blocked or blocked by the superb Buffon.
In the end, they were forced to find openings for attack through large-scale movements.
As for Juventus, they use quick transitions from the midfield to the front to attack Liverpool's defense, and will never get too entangled with Liverpool in the midfield.
Pjanic's transfer in the middle played a key role.
And Costa, this guy is in hot form in this game and is extremely active. Once he gets the ball, he rushes from the right, either passing the ball down the back or sending a through ball to the ribs.
Fortunately, the success rate of this guy's last pass was relatively low, and Van Dijk woke up in time, so Juventus didn't succeed.
The continuous offensive wave from both sides has made many old domestic fans lament what a confrontation between the world's top clubs is.
Compared with the second round, what kind of game was played in the first round!
This is the real Champions League event!
Many fans are curious about why Mo Yang, who has always been good at controlling the rhythm, doesn't slow down the pace of the game.
But soon some old fans gave these novices answers.
Because Mo Yang couldn't slow down the pace, they were falling behind now.
Moreover, Mo Yang had to use this fast pace of fighting to launch an attack.
In a fast-paced offensive battle, there are actually many loopholes in the defense of both sides.
What matters at this time is the ability of both parties to find and seize opportunities.
Whoever is better at seizing opportunities will win the game, and whoever is better at seizing opportunities deserves to lose.
Mo Yang does think so, and he is most afraid of Juventus shrinking its defense. Once Italy's top giants play defense against you, the traditional high-density chain defense will really give the offense a headache.
On the sidelines, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the team was stable. At this moment, he was really grateful that he had a super midfielder.
Just now he was really afraid that Mo Yang would continue to be lost, which would be terrible.
After standing on the sidelines and watching for a while, Klopp turned and walked to the coaching bench. The game was approaching 40 minutes, and he wanted to discuss with Peter how to adjust in the second half.
But Klopp had just walked halfway when a huge uproar suddenly sounded in his ears, which immediately made him stop and turn around, looking curiously at the field.
In the 38th minute of the game, Klein dribbled the ball in from the backcourt. Seeing a gap behind Juventus on the right, he directly chose to take a long pass.
As a result, Salah didn't react, didn't run at all, and couldn't run. Sandro and Chiellini had already closed the door in front of him.
After Chiellini got the ball, after Firmino and Salah came forward to press, he suddenly passed forward and passed it to the feet of Pjanic who came to meet him.
Pjanic turned around to meet the ball, quickly separated the ball and passed it to Sandro who ran along the sideline.
Sandro didn't give Mo Yang a chance to struggle and passed directly across the middle.
Matuidi took the ball and quickly passed it diagonally to the right to Khedira on the arc of the circle.
Khedira continued to advance with the ball. Faced with Milner's pressing, he withstood the pressure and calmly handed the ball to Costa, who had been waiting in front of him.
Costa saw that Robertson didn't come out and couldn't play from the wing, so he suddenly passed the ball to Higuain in the center.
Higuain received the ball and turned around, immediately attracting the attention of Henderson and Milner, and even Matip ran out from the top of the key.
After Mo Yang saw it, he promptly followed the advancing Matuido into the penalty area to make up the position. He did not want to and could not make the same mistake a second time.
As a result, Higuain didn't intend to dribble the ball at all, but rushed up to Milner's side and passed the ball directly to Khedira on the penalty area line of the ribs.
After Khedira got the ball, he was staggered by Van Dijk from behind and couldn't turn around at all, so he quickly passed it to De Sciglio, who was waving from the wing.
After Robertson saw it, he immediately came out of the penalty area.
However, before Robertson could reach his position, De Sciglio went directly to the right, quickly reached the bottom, and then made a very crisp pass, still looking for Mandzukic in the back.
The speed of this pass is not very fast, but it is very high and the accuracy is mind-numbingly accurate.
In front of the goal post, the 175cm, 67kg Klein was made into a sandwich cookie by Mandzukic and Matuidi.
Mo Yang was also stuck behind Matuidu, and he could not go over to fight for the top.
At this moment, the alarm in Mo Yang's heart had sounded, and he had already seen the danger.
But there is no way, he can't get through!
In front of everyone, the 186cm, 76kg Mandzukic squeezed Klein out of the way, jumped high and hit the ball again.
In front of the goal, Karius dived regardless of the danger of hitting the goal post. He did touch the ball, but in the end the ball still missed the post and went into the goal.
"Wow!!!!!!" Anfield wailed!
"Oh yo!!! It's in again!!!"
"It's Mandzhu Kiki again!! It's Manzhu again..."
"Two goals!!!"
"Juventus leads by two goals in the first half!"
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhan Jun seemed a little excited when he saw this goal that was very similar to the first goal. He was completely attracted by the game.
"Will a miracle really happen?" Zhan Jun asked with a smile, "Juventus is only one goal away, and there is still a lot of time in the game."
"The suspense of the game is back!" Zhang Lu laughed at the side, "This is Mandzukic's strength."
Seeing Klein submerged in the tall figures of Matuidi and Mandzukic in the slow-motion replay, Zhang Lu grinned happily, "There is no way, De Sciglio passed the ball too badly. This is obvious.
Bullying Klein for being short."
"Yes!" Zhang Lu smiled and nodded, "Look, Klein was obviously stuck in front of Mandzukic when he took off, but he missed it by a head's height and just didn't reach it."
"There was nothing Moyang could do about this ball. Matuidi was too experienced. He knew that Moyang would come over to help Klein, so fortunately he got ahead of him. Not only was he able to trap Klein, he was also able to kill him.
It was so smart to trap Mo Yang and kill two birds with one stone. This is the role of a veteran on the court!" Zhang Lu said with a smile.
