Chapter 197: The silent confrontation belonging to the coach
In the 36th minute of the game, Mo Yang suddenly started to advance from the right wing of Real Madrid's penalty area.
At the same time, Milner in the center circle suddenly passed the ball over.
Then the ball was easily removed as if it was stuck at Mo Yang's feet. He turned around and faced Marcelo directly on the sideline of the penalty area.
Marcelo is the absolute main defender on the left side of the Galaxy Battleship. He has experienced hundreds of battles and knows very well that Mo Yang has only two choices at this time.
Break through head-on into the penalty area, or break to the left toward the rib area and then seek cooperation.
No matter which one, he has full confidence.
But soon, he realized how ridiculous his idea was.
In Marcelo's line of sight, he saw Mo Yang suddenly lowering his waist and dismounting from the horse, bending his legs and knees at nearly 90 degrees, and lowering his center of gravity in a breakthrough starting position.
Marcelo is neither hasty nor slow, remains unmoved, and is prepared to remain unchanged in the face of any changes.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Yang moved, as fast as a rabbit running away.
I saw him suddenly making a feint to the left, then immediately caught a fried meatball, and swiped it directly from the right side.
At this moment, Marcelo took a mouthful of Sichuan peppercorns and felt numb!
The image of Messi flashed in his mind.
Messi's extraordinary style is that even if you guess how he will break through, you can't prevent it. Unless you foul, you will only end up with exhaust fumes.
Mo Yang passed Marcelo and just entered the penalty area when he suddenly saw a tall white figure rushing towards him.
Almost instantly, Mo Yang raised his left foot and pushed the ball to the left. Then he turned 360 degrees on the spot and passed Ramos, perfectly avoiding physical contact with Ramos.
At this moment, Ramos, who missed the target, was horrified.
This time he grabbed the ball because he had a premonition that Marcelo would be blown away.
Ramos believes in this intuition very much, because this kind of directness has helped him kill countless stars countless times.
So he started it in advance!
According to his expectation, Mo Yang would directly hit him after breaking through, and then he would steal the ball.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yang seemed to have known that he was going to attack him. After breaking through, he immediately turned around without giving him a chance to make small moves. This was so shocking!
At this moment, Ramos saw an even more horrifying scene.
After Mo Yang broke through, Casemiro and Kroos rushed over from outside the top of the arc, trying to form a siege with Ramos and the three behind Mo Yang to steal the ball and make a clearance.
On Mo Yang's side, he paused for a very brief moment, then quickly picked up his left foot, and the ball flew to the ribs outside the left penalty area.
And there, it's already empty!
After Mane stopped the ball, he calmly adjusted and shot directly into the far side post, but unfortunately the angle was too tricky and the ball missed the post and flew out of the baseline, scaring Navas out of his mind.
"Wow!!!!!!"
Seventy thousand fans in the stands were in an uproar. Everyone was shocked by Mo Yang's continuous breakthroughs from the wing.
"This is the third time Mo Yang has successfully broken through and created a goal opportunity after changing positions! This is the effect Klopp wants!" Zhang Lu in the live broadcast room looked at the slow-motion replay with admiration on his face.
"After Mo Yang broke through Ramos, Varane was restrained by Yin Bu who moved forward, but he also cut off the connection between Mo Yang and Yin Bu."
"Moyang paused after catching the ball!"
"What a wonderful pause!"
"As soon as he stopped, Casemiro and Kroos at the top of the arc rushed into the penalty area."
"Milner, who has long-range shooting ability, took advantage of the situation and entered the top area of the arc, forcing Modric on the left to come to the center to mark. This caused Real Madrid to miss someone in the left rib area."
"Mo Yang obviously did this premeditatedly!"
"Of course, he can choose to shoot, but if he shoots to the left, Varane is stuck on the path he must pass, and it is extremely easy to be blocked."
"The closer was almost blocked by Navas, so this last pass is what Mo Yang wants!"
"Mo Yang's ability to plan an attack step by step is really terrifying!" Zhan Jun nodded and laughed.
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Zidane crossed his arms and watched the game with a smile.
Seeing that Liverpool's players were still taking the initiative to press and attack them, Zidane was really relieved.
He is not afraid of Liverpool attacking them!
But I'm afraid that Liverpool will retreat across the board and play intensive defense with him.
Klopp moved Mo Yang to the wing. Although he sacrificed the magical creativity of Liverpool's midfielder to play the ball forward, he also used three midfielders to strengthen the defensive front of Liverpool's midfielder.
Then use high-intensity defense in the midfield to steal the ball, and then use long passes that skip the midfield and backcourt to keep the forwards under pressure on Real Madrid's defense.
In this way, they will not dare to press out from the backcourt when attacking, and will continue to put pressure on Liverpool's defense.
Especially Marcelo's side, now because of Mo Yang, they don't dare to press forward unscrupulously to participate in the attack.
Liverpool's current style of play not only maintains the pressure from the front line on their defense, but also continues to strengthen the defense of the midfield without retreating completely, and can also proactively seek offensive opportunities.
After understanding Klopp's tactical intentions, Zidane really admired Klopp's whimsical ideas. Not every head coach dares to change tactics on the spot. This requires great courage and adventurous spirit.
But! The tactical purpose is one thing, and whether it can be achieved is another.
And Zidane feels that Klopp seems to have ignored a very important factor.
That is whether the three of Moyang, Henderson, Fabinho and Milner can compete with Modric and Kroos.
The answer is obviously no!
The duo of Modric and Kroos will definitely be able to take over the active control of the midfield.
The loss of active control of the midfield is a very fatal flaw.
So Zidane felt that he didn't need to do anything, because the experienced Modric and Kroos would soon know how to deal with Liverpool, which had completely lost control of the midfield.
As for Mo Yang, what threat can a wing playmaker who cannot get the ball pose?
As time passed, the game went as Zidane expected.
From the 40th minute of the game until the fourth official on the sidelines raised the sign indicating five minutes of stoppage time, Liverpool did not have a complete attack for five minutes.
Mo Yang, who was active on the front line, only had one chance to get the ball.
Mo Yang’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper!
Of course he knows what the problem is!
The combination of Modric and Kroos has completely taken over control of the midfield.
Now Henderson's three midfielders can only passively defend.
Once the ball is taken, Modric and Kroos will control the ball in the left and right halves of the center, back and center and swoop around.
Even if he can't grab it, the key is that it's easy for Real Madrid to break through the midfield defense and threaten the defense, let alone get the ball to his feet.
In the first minute of stoppage time, the Real Madrid midfielder continued to control the ball for a long time, attracting three players from Henderson to attack, and once again found a chance.
Marcelo held the ball on the left side of the midfield. Fabinho and Arnold pressed directly up, and Mo Yang surrounded Marcelo.
As a result, this guy saw the opportunity and passed the ball from Fabinho's crotch to Kroos, who was driving forward from the left in the middle.
Suddenly the door to the left of Liverpool's midfield was wide open.
After Cross dribbled the ball across the center line, before Henderson came over, he directly stuffed the ball to the feet of Benzema who was next to Van Dijk in front.
Benzema took the ball and planned to hook Lovren, who was guarding Ronaldo from the wing, but Lovren was not fooled.
So he immediately spiked the ball, turned around, and passed the ball across the right half of the rib area.
The ball has arrived and the people have arrived!
Modric entered the rib area, stopped and shot on the right side of the penalty area at the top of the arc, and shot a cloud-piercing arrow.
The ball goes straight to the left goal post!
But unfortunately, his shot was a bit hasty, and the arc did not come out, and it missed the goal post and flew out of the baseline.
This scene frightened all the Liverpool fans.
At this moment, everyone noticed that the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
Because they haven't seen their Yang for a long time!
On the sidelines, Klopp was already regretting it! He didn't know the consequences of losing control of the midfield.
The reason why he made this arrangement was that he knew very well how terrifying Real Madrid's subsequent efforts would be.
He plays this kind of half-offensive and half-defensive tactics, just to try to win by surprise and score another goal, so that in the second half he can concentrate on defending against counterattacks.
As a result, I didn't expect that the three Hendersons would be defeated so quickly and completely.
Now the three Henderson players can only stabilize the defense and cannot spare the energy to provide effective support to Mo Yang.
Even if he can sometimes send the ball forward, the effect is very poor under the interference of Real Madrid.
This directly nullified his tactical intention of moving Mo Yang to the wing.
Klopp feels that he is still a little too optimistic.
Of course, he also overestimated the effectiveness of the three defensive midfielders.
The defense is now stable, but the connection with the midfield and forwards has been cut off by Modric and Kroos.
Now he just hopes that the team can hold on until the halftime break so that he can continue to adjust tactics.
He is ready to launch the last set of preparations!
