"Okay! Audience friends, welcome back to North London..."
"Liverpool's tactics are fine for the time being in the second half, but Tottenham's problems are bigger. Pochettino may have made adjustments."
"Yes, Tottenham were too passive in the first half." Zhang Lu interjected.
Zhan Jun looked down at the game data of both sides on the iPad on the table and said: "Judging from the game data of both sides in the first half, Tottenham's 58% ball possession rate is actually 6 percentage points higher than Liverpool."
"But in terms of the number of shots, the number of shots on target, and seizing opportunities, they are slightly behind Liverpool."
"Judging from the game scene, Liverpool actually had the advantage in the first half. They played with ease, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. I even had the illusion that Liverpool had more time on the ball!"
"The reason why Tottenham's ball possession rate is high is because most of these possession times were obtained after their offense was blocked and they were forced to pass back. They had very little time to actually control the ball in front of Liverpool's penalty area."
Soon, with the referee's whistle, the second half of the game officially began.
"oh!
"The position of the Tottenham players on the field after the whistle blew Zhan Jun was shocked, "Tottenham have changed their formation, they seem to have given up on the diamond midfield!"
Zhang Lu blinked and nodded, praising: "Pochettino made a very correct choice. Although Tottenham succeeded in stopping Liverpool's attack in the center in the first half, and even did not lose to Liverpool in pressing in the center, but the diamond shape But the midfielder couldn't cover both sides at the first time."
"This weak point has been caught twice by Mo Yang in the first half. He carried out focused attacks and scored a goal. Pochettino obviously also knows very well how strong Mo Yang's ability is in seizing opportunities in the game. He does not Dare to continue taking risks!"
"Also, the diamond-shaped midfielder consumes too much physical energy for Dembele and others, which is also a huge hidden danger!"
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Klopp looked at Tottenham's new formation on the field with regret on his face.
During the halftime break, Klopp specifically told Moyang to continue attacking as he did in the first half, focusing on areas outside Tottenham's ribs that could not be covered immediately.
It doesn't matter whether we can win or not. What matters is that we must continue to mobilize Tottenham's three midfielders and wear down their physical fitness.
Unexpectedly, Pochettino changed his formation in the second half, which made him happy for nothing.
On the field, after the game started, Tottenham's offensive and defensive formations changed between 352 and 532.
Mo Yang was not in a hurry to organize an attack, but began to observe Tottenham carefully.
Seeing that Tottenham's defensive end was in a 5+3 position, Mo Yang knew what Tottenham's plan was.
In the 48th minute of the game, Salah continued to attack with the ball from the right wing.
Relying on his excellent foot skills, he successfully broke through Winks who was retreating to the rib area, plunged towards the right rib, and ran into Vertonghen and Danny Rose head-on.
Seeing that there was little hope for a breakthrough, Salah quickly shot the ball forward to the left, looking for Firmino who was advancing in the middle.
As a result, at the moment of passing the ball, Dell seemed to have expected it, and suddenly appeared in the passing line and successfully intercepted it.
Just three minutes later, Liverpool's attack switched to Jota's side.
In the 51st minute of the game, Robertson dribbled the ball in to participate in the attack. When he saw Jota dipping into the ribs, he passed the ball directly.
As a result, Alderweireld quickly left the left position at the top of the arc and moved laterally at the moment Eric Dier positioned himself on the back line in the middle. Not only did he block Jota's path from the upper corner of the penalty area to the penalty area, He also teamed up with Trippier to grab it from the left and right and intercepted the ball again.
"In the 5+3 position, we can use the lateral speed of the three central defenders to limit the penetration attacks of Salah and Jota in the ribs."
Seeing Liverpool's failed attacks, Zhang Lu began to explain.
Zhan Jun shook his head and said: "But the 5+3 positioning will cause the midfielder to be weak. After the defender steals the ball or makes a clearance, there are not enough personnel in the midfield to respond immediately. There is also a 532 defensive formation.
It’s a natural flaw. It would be fine if we encounter some teams that lack midfield organizational skills, but how could Mo Yang not see this flaw.”
"So Pochettino is betting, and he should have a backup plan!" Zhang Lu added with a smile.
Zhang Lu's words up to this point made Zhan Jun a little confused.
But Zhan Jun soon understood.
In the 54th minute of the game, Pochettino, who looked calm, called Son Heung-min, who had taken off his substitute vest, to his side for a tactical discussion.
More than a minute later, Son Heung-min came on and directly replaced Lucas, who had a mediocre performance.
Seeing the appearance of the Korean football champion, Mo Yang was secretly wary.
But he still couldn't figure out Pochettino's real purpose of sacrificing the midfield to stabilize the defense when he was falling behind.
If Pochettino didn't want to lose too badly, Mo Yang definitely didn't believe it.
Because in essence, Pochettino and Klopp, who like to press high, are actually the same kind of people.
But soon, Mo Yang understood and was taught a lesson by Pochettino.
In the 58th minute of the game, Tottenham once again cleared Liverpool's pass in the penalty area.
Seeing the loss of the ball, Liverpool immediately formed a tacit understanding, launched a counterattack in the frontcourt, and established a numerical advantage in the midfield to oppress the Tottenham midfielder.
"Liverpool played very smartly. They saw that Tottenham's midfield was insufficient in width and numbers, which was a natural flaw in the formation. So after they lost the ball in the frontcourt, they immediately launched a counterattack to seize the ball! See what they can do!"
"Forehead!"
Zhang Lu, who was looking at the big screen in the live broadcast room, was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.
On the field, Trippier received Dembe's header from the right wing, turned around and quickly kicked off the half-high ball and passed it straight from a long distance.
On Liverpool's side, before the encirclement was completed, Tottenham's ball had already passed the midfield and appeared on the right side of the frontcourt.
At this moment, a picture suddenly appeared in Mo Yang's mind in the middle, and he vaguely knew what Pochettino had in mind.
On the right center line, the ball passed by Sun Xingmin and Trippier met.
But he didn't catch it. Instead, he let the ball pass in front of him, and then increased his speed again.
Robertson was unable to come back immediately because he penetrated too deep.
Fortunately, Chamberlain was alert enough. When he saw Robertson coming up, he retreated and caught Sun Xingmin on the inside in time.
After the two crossed the center line seven or eight meters away, Chamberlain, who was moving closer to the outside line little by little, successfully compressed Sun Xingmin's sprinting space.
On the sidelines, Klopp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Son Xingmin slow down.
However, at this moment, Sun Xingmin gave the ball to his right foot, slammed forward, and then exploded again.
That instantaneous acceleration ability almost gave the Red Army fans a heart attack.
Although Chamberlain is fast, the difference in acceleration between him and Sun Xingmin emerges in this situation, and his acceleration ability is not enough in a short period of time.
In just one or two seconds, Chamberlain allowed Sun Xingmin to overtake from the outside, forcibly opening a gap.
Arriving outside the right side of the penalty area, Sun Xingmin ran into Gomez who was intercepting him head-on.
Facing Gomez who was intercepting him head-on, Son Xingmin moved his right foot with the ball to the left deftly as the two approached, and passed Gomez very neatly.
Coming to the upper corner of the small penalty area, facing Alisson, he pushed into the far corner.
"Goal!
!
!
!
!
"
"Goal!
!”
"Goal!
Goal!
!
Goal!
!
!”
“Buzz!
!
!
!
!”
At the moment of the goal, the 60,000 Tottenham fans present were able to vent their depressed mood for more than 60 minutes.
The terrifying sound rose into the sky like a huge wave, and the cheers shook the stands on all sides to buzz, giving countless people the illusion that the stands were about to collapse.
On the sidelines, Pochettino turned around and knelt down, raising his arms in a gesture of mourning.
Next to Pochettino, Klopp's mouth twitched.
"One dragon, Sun Xingmin!
!
!He passed through Liverpool’s entire defense and scored!
!" See you in the pp sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun is roaring, and his blood is boiling because of Sun Xingmin's long-distance attack.
“So beautiful!”
"It's really beautiful!" Zhang Lu also had a pleasing expression on his face.
