Chapter 153: Champions League Finals! Here we come!
"When you walk through a storm!"
"Hold your head up high!"
"And don't be afraid of the dark!"
"At the eorm!"
"..."
During the halftime break, the stands on all sides of Anfield were singing loudly. Every Red Army fan was extremely excited and in an extremely happy mood.
With a three-goal lead, if they score one or two more goals in the second half, that would be a good thing that they never dream of. They have already stepped into the finals with one foot.
In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun were also chatting and reviewing the first half of the game.
"Liverpool's tactical strategy for this game is now very clear. It is to wait for Roma to attack and consume your energy. After 30 minutes, when the Roma players show signs of decline, they will start to perform a lot of high-intensity exercises.
Pressure from a high position.”
"We can also see from the statistics of the two periods before and after the first half that in the last fifteen minutes of the first half, Liverpool gained 72% of the ball through ultra-high-intensity pressure."
"Yes!" Zhan Jun strongly agreed with Zhang Lu's analysis, "Starting from the second goal, Roma's offense was suppressed, and with Dzeko's position wide, they had no offensive connection point in the middle.
"
Zhan Jun blinked and smiled: "Di Francesco should make corresponding adjustments in the second half, otherwise the game should be more than the current score."
"Yes, Yundale should go. Di Francesco used Yundale to replace Schick in this game. The double high center was replaced by a high-low combination of one high and one fast. He wanted to use Yundale in Liverpool.
Looking for space behind the high defensive line, but unfortunately it didn't work."
The fifteen-minute intermission went by in a blink of an eye.
Players from both sides changed sides and fought again. Sure enough, Zhang Lu got it right.
Roma coach Di Francesco directly replaced Yundel with Schick, resuming the two-center striker style against Barcelona.
After the game started, there were obvious changes in the tactics of both sides.
"Klopp has also adjusted his tactics. This guy really counts Di Francesco to death." After watching for four or five minutes, Zhang Lu exclaimed, "Roma accumulated attacking forces on the left, and Klopp took advantage of the situation.
Instead, he began to use Firmino and Mane as the fulcrum in the frontcourt, which forced Roma to open up their attacking width."
On the field, after the second half started, once Liverpool got the ball, other players would immediately hand the ball to Mo Yang.
At the beginning of the second half of Mo Yang, he followed Klopp's arrangement and stopped changing positions frequently.
Instead, he sits in the left half, establishing contact with Mane and Firmino in front, and constantly uses various passes to deliver shells to Mane and Firmino.
On Roma's side, Di Francesco's change of offensive strategy has indeed achieved certain results. The two high center forwards Dzeko and Schick are very close to each other in the center of the frontcourt, forming mutual protection.
After the start of the second half, most of Roma's long passes from the backcourt went directly to Dzeko and Schick.
From the effect point of view, both Dzeko and Schick have played a very good fulcrum role in Roma's frontcourt.
At the same time, after holding the ball, he can quickly distribute the ball to both sides. Kolarov and Florenzi will look for passing opportunities and find Dzeko and Schick in the penalty area.
Seeing Roma successfully compete for the goal that threatened his own goal in the penalty area many times, Klopp also discovered the dramatic changes in Roma's tactics. His face became a little grim, and he was pacing a little restlessly.
But after observing for five or six minutes, he suddenly discovered that Roma's new offensive strategy had exposed new weaknesses.
Klopp was immediately filled with joy, and his eyes were directly locked on Mo Yang.
Klopp has never doubted Mo Yang's ability to find the opponent's tactical weaknesses.
Because Mo Yang has proven countless times in games that he can find the opponent's tactical weaknesses faster than Klopp off the court.
In the 56th minute of the game, the left sideline of the area in front of the center line relied on three consecutive passes from Nainggolan, De Rossi and Kolarov to get rid of Fabinho, Wijnaldum and Firmino.
Human pressure.
After Nainggolan got rid of Wijnaldum with a one-two with De Rossi, he immediately dribbled the ball towards the center, but Fabinho made up the position very timely.
Naying Golan staggered around and was forced to pass the ball back to De Rossi.
De Rossi did not stop the ball and directly passed the ball over the top to Dzeko on the left side of the arc.
Lovren made another contribution. He allowed Dzeko to run behind him and blocked the distance very subtly. He seemed to have anticipated this pass, jumped up on the spot and successfully intercepted it in the air.
The ball was tipped by Lovren to Moyang who was approaching from the center.
Seeing the ball coming, Mo Yang raised his left foot, spiked the ball directly to the left, and completed his turn at the same time.
What's amazing is that the moment this guy completed his turn, he just happened to get Strowman stuck behind him.
Mo Yang started to speed up and ran directly to the left half with the ball.
Stroma pulled and pulled, forcing Mo Yang's speed to slow down.
In the middle circle, Mane quickly moved to the left and took away Fazio who was standing in the middle circle.
On Mo Yang's side, he found Stroman running to his right. Mo Yang, who was running, suddenly did a Marseille spin, turned around and faced Salah's side of the half court, and then without even looking at it, he started to kick long
pass.
"Mo Yang, long pass!"
"pretty!"
"Oh my God, I didn't even look at it, I just passed it on!"
"The tacit understanding between Salah and Mo Yang is terrible!"
Under Zhan Jun's high-pitched shouts, Mo Yang's precise guidance soared into the air again, crossed the center circle, and directly hit the rib area of Roma's left half.
At the same time, Salah and Mo Yang's timing of passing and running was just right.
After the ball hit the ground, it just bounced into the upper corner of the penalty area, and Salah also arrived.
The ball was passed so that Szczesny didn't dare to come out at all.
Moreover, the ball was too sudden, and Liverpool's counterattack was too fast. As soon as Manolas and others on the Roma defense reached the top of the arc, Salah had already dribbled the ball into the penalty area.
At the top of the arc, Mane and Firmino on the left side of Manolas rushed towards the penalty area one after another, leaving Manolas not knowing who to keep an eye on.
After arriving at the penalty spot, Mane and Firmino separated directly, one running diagonally toward Salah, and the other running backwards.
At this moment, Salah passed the ball. After reaching the line of the small penalty area, he directly passed the ball back to the center in an inverted triangle. Mane didn't even need to move. He stretched out his right foot and pushed, and the ball grazed the left post and then came back.
Once he got into the Roma goal.
"boom!!!!!"
“goal!!!!”
“goal!!!!”
“goal!!!!!”
This time there was no need for Berglin to shout, the stands from all sides shouted the goal cry, and the terrifying sound went straight into the sky.
On the sidelines, Klopp ran and jumped sideways, constantly inciting the fans to cheer. People on the bench and coaching bench also rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.
“Kyiv!!!!”
"Here we come!!!"
“Ula!!!!!!!”
On all sides of the stands, Red Army fans kept repeating the venue of the Champions League final.
On the field, after Mane scored, he met Salah directly.
When Salah saw Mane getting excited and wanting to take off his clothes, he suddenly became excited and thought that Mane seemed to be getting a yellow card, so he jumped directly on Mane to prevent the guy from taking off his clothes.
Seeing Liverpool players gathering in front of the top of the penalty area to celebrate, the Roma players were a little distracted.
It’s 4-0!
It’s 4-0!
What a despairing number!
They don't know why the game turned out like this.
I don’t know why it’s so difficult for me to score a goal, but the opponent scores one after another. What’s the problem?
Although the tactics of this game have been slightly adjusted, the overall tactical ideas are still similar to the last time they played Barcelona.
But why did the powerful Barcelona giant collapse when faced with their tactics, but when it came to Liverpool, it was they who fell?
"Lele, we can go watch the Champions League finals!!!"
"The final is played in a chicken coop, right? Taiwan Province?" Bai Lele, who was arm-in-arm with Lu Han, replied.
