As time passed, Klopp gradually felt that something was wrong.
In the first ten minutes of the second half, Roma's offense was very simple, with the two wingers taking the ball to the two high forwards, Schick and Dzeko.
Roma gave up the swarm-like attack of the first half and used high-flying attacks from both wings. However, the offense became more efficient and smoother. Crosses from the two wings have threatened their goal many times.
Klopp feels a bit evil!
In the 58th minute of the game, Liverpool blocked Roma's wing attack from the right.
After Arnold got the ball, he was chased and intercepted by Shaarawi and Nainggolan.
While Arnold was running, he suddenly made a cross pass to Mo Yang, who was approaching in the middle.
When Nainggolan saw Mo Yang taking the ball, he immediately came over, trying to entangle Mo Yang to prevent him from shooting the ball forward.
As a result, the moment Mo Yang stopped the ball and turned around, he directly started to look for Salah between Manolas and Fazio.
The ball was passed accurately and fell directly towards Salah's feet, but Salah didn't stop properly and stumbled. The ball hit his heel and rolled behind him.
Firmino followed up to get the ball, slowed down at the penalty arc, and waited for Mane to make a diagonal pass from the left into the central penalty area. He suddenly pushed the ball in the direction of Mane, hoping that Mane would take advantage of the situation.
Lead into the restricted area.
The two cooperated very well, but Manolas saw through their offensive intentions.
Manolas quickly extended his foot and stabbed it, successfully destroying it.
The ball rolled straight from the top of the arc to De Rossi, who was running back in the center circle.
De Rossi turned the ball around and quickly dribbled the ball in from the center.
After Mo Yang saw this, he was about to cut off the connection between De Rossi and Shaarawi and Nainggolan on the left, but it was already too late.
De Rossi took a risk and passed the ball, and the ball jumped directly between Moyang and Henderson to Nainggolan's feet.
Nainggolan took the ball back, turned around, and was caught by Mo Yang who chased back in time.
Seeing Shaarawy coming from the wing raising his hand to ask for the ball, Nainggolan gave it to him without hesitation.
But due to Mo Yang's interference, his kick was a little crooked, causing the ball to roll between Shalawi and Arnold.
Arnold, who was looking back while retreating, saw the opportunity to intercept, so he immediately turned from right to left and went straight to tackle the ball.
As a result, when he went up, he found that he had lost time by turning around, and the ball missed him, and the ball just passed in front of him.
Shalawi never expected that the ball would be missed by Arnold. He was immediately ecstatic and started to drive the ball from the ribs into the penalty area.
After entering the penalty area, Shaarawy faced Lovren.
He was very smart. He didn't take off his foot directly. Instead, he made a feint, fooling Lovren into thinking he was going to break through the base. He flicked the outside of his right foot in the direction, and then took off his foot and shot directly.
In front of the goal, Alisson quickly predicted the route and pounced directly to the left.
Seeing El Shaarawy's shot saved by Alisson, Roma fans in the stands wailed.
But soon, they saw that the ball saved by Alisson landed on the left side of the small penalty area and bounced directly towards Dzeko. Everyone jumped with excitement.
"Follow-up shot!!!!"
"Follow-up shot!!!!"
"Follow-up shot!!!!"
Under the unanimous shouts of 100,000 fans, Dzeko unloaded the ball that bounced in front of him with his left foot to his right foot, then quickly raised his right foot to follow up and volleyed the ball.
Although Alisson got up and pounced, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the goal.
"boom!!!!!!!!!"
Roma's second goal came, making 100,000 fans excited and ignited.
"7-4!"
"With only 3 goals left, we still have a chance!"
"We still have time!"
"Goal!!! We are red wolves!! A pack of wolves that can tear everything apart!"
The Roma fans cheered like a mountain and a tsunami under the instigation of the on-site DJ!
On the sidelines, Klopp finally realized that he was wrong again.
He took the initiative to change his formation in order to seek a more solid defense, and then seek a quick counterattack from back to front.
This is certainly true!
But he subconsciously ignored one thing.
It's just that he didn't consider the situation where the counterattack was not effective, and he took it for granted!
At this time, he felt a little ashamed in his heart that he had made the same mistake again.
In the first round match against Roma, the two goals conceded were caused by him replacing Mo Yang and Salah in advance, which caused Roma's defensive pressure to drop sharply and allowed him to attack unscrupulously.
Although Mo Yang and Salah are still on the court now, Mo Yang devotes most of his energy to defense, as does Henderson.
Mane and Milner also had to retreat to a deep position to defend because they had to restrict Roma's two wingers from taking the ball and bombing their own penalty area.
So now Mo Yang can attack from back to front even from time to time, but Salah and Firmino often fall into the embarrassing situation of 2 on 4 or alone. They lack the first time midfielder
For support, it will take time for Mane, Mo Yang and others to go up.
With the idea clear, Klopp immediately started thinking about a compensation plan.
But after thinking about it, he found that it was better not to do anything.
This large-scale tactical adjustment involves the front, middle and back areas, and cannot be adjusted by standing on the sidelines.
Once the players do not clearly understand the coach's tactical intentions, the situation on the field may become completely chaotic, so it is better not to adjust for the time being.
On the court, Mo Yang knew very well why they were so passive.
In the locker room just now, he wanted to ask Klopp what he would do if the counterattack was not effective and he could not suppress Roma's offensive.
But he still held back. On the one hand, as a player, he could not openly question the coach. On the other hand, Mo Yang thought that a world-famous coach of Klopp's level would not be so one-sided in his consideration of issues with such a tactical arrangement.
Maybe there are some tactical effects that he can't see.
As a result, it now seems that Te Miao's old scumbag has simply forgotten the consequences.
Mo Yang saw it now and was anxious in his heart.
He also wanted to step forward to support Salah and the two, but he couldn't leave at all!
Although they have absolute control in the midfield, Roma will not play with you in the middle at all. When they get the ball, they will directly pull up and kick the ball.
Once the ball is successfully kicked, at least four or five players will press into the penalty area to compete for the top. There are simply many high points, which puts great pressure on their defense.
This forced their middle and back lines to retreat deep and mark players inside and outside the Roma penalty area.
One minute!
five minutes!
ten minutes!
fifteen minutes!
…
As the game time went by, Liverpool became more and more passive.
The Liverpool fans at the scene were extremely worried as they watched their team being bombarded from high altitude by Roma.
Many fans can't figure out why there is such a big difference in performance between the first and second halves.
Klopp was even more nervous and stood restlessly on the sidelines.
Every time he saw the ball being passed over his own penalty area, his heart couldn't help but rise and fall. It was really torturous.
But you have to endure the sins you have done even if you are beaten to death.
Next to him, Di Francesco looked content.
"Lord! Praise Klopp! I want to thank him for his selfless gift!"
To be honest, he didn't expect Klopp to be so helpful and selfless in helping him.
Now they have an absolute advantage in the situation, and he feels that the next goal is coming soon.
"The counterattack effect is too bad. If we keep fighting like this, Liverpool will still lose goals!" In the domestic live broadcast room, Zhang Lu shook her head and directly made a prediction.
"Yes, it's too passive. Klopp seems to have forgotten that Liverpool's biggest advantage is their offense, and their biggest threat is also their offense. Only when they continue to use offense to put pressure on the opponent's defense can they be the most effective against the opponent.
Good restrictions, not the current poor defensive counterattack!" Zhan Jun nodded and commented sharply.
