In the 48th minute of the game, with the whistle of the referee Kao Shaoyin, the last game officially ended.
In the pp sports live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu began to review the first half.
"On the Liverpool side, it is obvious that he has been affected by the fatigue of the high-intensity double matches in a week and the long journey in China. Compared with the previous games, the running data of Liverpool players is one-third worse!"
After hearing Zhan Jun's words, Zhang Lu answered, "In terms of statistics, Liverpool is also weaker than Naples. In the first half, both sides had a total of 7 shots. Naples had 4 shots, 2 of which were on target, while Liverpool had 3 shots, but none.
It was hit within the door frame, which is incredible."
"Yes, in terms of ball possession rate, the two sides are evenly divided, Liverpool 51%, Naples 49%, passing success rate Liverpool 88%, Naples 84%, Liverpool 361 times, Naples 310 times."
"Naples' four midfielders in the first half did a good job of cutting off the connection between the out-of-form Liverpool midfielder and the forwards, but Ancelotti also paid the price. Even their offense didn't seem very smooth!"
"..."
At the same time, the atmosphere in the visiting team's locker room at St. Paul's Stadium was a bit dull. There was no joy and laughter in the past. Everyone had a solemn look on their faces, and some players did not even dare to speak loudly.
Not long after, there was a click, and Klopp opened the door and walked in. He came to the center of the locker room, looked around, and began to lay out the tactics for the second half without saying a word.
Soon, the halftime break ended, and the players from both sides returned to the court to change sides and fight again.
Whether it is Liverpool or Naples, there are no personnel changes on either side.
With Kao Shaoyin's whistle, the second half of the game officially started.
But after the game started, Ancelotti quickly frowned.
Because he discovered that although Liverpool's main attack was still on the right, Mo Yang's position had undergone major changes.
Compared with the first half, in the second half, although Mo Yang occasionally made moves after getting the ball, the number of times he inserted his ribs to connect with Salah increased significantly.
In the 51st minute of the game, Mane received the ball and was surrounded by Maximovic, Albiol and Alan who were protecting the ribs outside the left side of the Naples penalty area.
Realizing that there was no chance of breakthrough or kicking the ball, he quickly passed the ball back.
Robertson, who was hanging behind him to receive the ball, stopped the ball, and then immediately took off and passed the ball horizontally.
On Liverpool's right wing, Alexander-Arnold, who came in behind, used his chest to remove the ball on the sideline, and then immediately pushed Salah diagonally in front of the left front rib area.
Before the ball reached Salah's feet, players on Naples' defense moved.
Coulibaly in the right rib area roared, asking Luyins in front of him to retreat to fill his position, and then rushed towards Salah without saying a word.
But the change came at this time.
When Luyins heard Coulibaly's defensive call, he immediately ran to the right rib.
But as soon as Lu Yins started, he saw a figure on the left and rushed over.
Just when Luyins realized something was wrong, Salah passed the ball.
He simply didn't give Coulibaly time to get close. He made a pass and the ball flew over Coulibaly's head and landed on the right side of the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Lu Yins and Hamsik flanked Mo Yang, and the three of them rushed towards the high-flying ball.
After Coulibaly realized that he had been fooled, he quickly retreated, turned around and ran towards the penalty spot, staring at Yin Bu.
Before the landing point, Mo Yang took off boldly, using the power of sprint to take off, directly crushing Hamsik and Luins who took off at the same time as him, and then headed the ball towards Yin Bu in the middle.
Before the penalty kick, Yin Bu took the lead to take off. Coulibaly arrived a little later, but he still jumped.
As a result, he could only watch helplessly as Yin Bu hit the ball.
But the next second, what made people speechless was that Yin Bu directly hit the ball into the stands.
Seeing this scene, Klopp was so angry that he jumped back to the coaching bench.
Mo Yang, who fell to the ground after landing, was so angry that he slapped the turf.
"There is an extremely obvious difference in the defense of the two wings of Naples. The combination of Maksimovic, Alan and Callejon on the right side can do a very good job in terms of body, air defense, running and area coverage!"
"But their left side, the combination of Insigne, Hamsik, and Ruins is much inferior. Both the intensity of individual defense and the overall awareness of assisting defense and protection are obviously weaker than that of the right side.
"
"So Ancelotti had to rely on Koulibaly's massive advance to contain Salah's performance, but this also left hidden dangers for their defense!" Zhang Lu's analysis was as sharp as ever.
"But Liverpool is right to think this way!" Seeing Liverpool's changes on the offensive end, Zhang Lu, who was also a little drowsy, became more energetic. "Look, Insigne didn't come back just now to talk to Koulibaly."
Salah was attacked from both sides and he didn't even realize the danger!"
Hearing Zhang Lu's analysis, Zhan Jun laughed and said: "So Klopp's offensive arrangement on the right in the second half was to compete with Ancelotti for time!"
Zhang Lu nodded, "Yes, use this sudden and rapid transfer of the ball to hit Naples directly without giving Naples time to defend on the left."
In the coaching area on the sidelines, Ancelotti couldn't calm down at this time. He knew that Klopp had discovered the weakness in their defense.
But after thinking about it, he didn't have a good way to deal with it.
It's really no use. He only has so many cards in his hand.
Naples is not the Real Madrid he coached back then. There are a lot of stars on the bench for him to choose from and they can arrange their formations calmly.
After Liverpool's attack, Ancelotti danced and shouted on the sidelines as a reminder, and the Naples players on the court also increased their vigilance.
Always be alert to Liverpool's attacks on the right.
But vigilance is vigilance, and the problem lies there. It does not mean that being vigilant can prevent danger from happening.
In the 61st minute of the game, Liverpool made a comeback.
This time it was Mo Yang who faced Coulibaly, and Salah was moved to the wing.
In front of the right rib area, after Mo Yang received the ball, he saw that Koulibaly did not attack Salah directly, and he knew that the big black man who ran like an ostrich was afraid of his personal breakthrough.
So after he caught the ball, he crossed his legs very fast and pedaled hard on the bicycle.
Then suddenly there was a poke, and the ball was poked from Koulibaly's wicket to the right side of the penalty area.
At the same time, Salah overtook on the outside and used his speed to eat up Lu Yin. After getting the ball from the baseline, he forced a low pass regardless of whether there was anyone of his own in the middle.
Suddenly, there was a trembling noise in front of the crowded Naples door.
The ball was rubbed around, and in the chaos, the ball was finally pinned down by Naples goalkeeper Ospina, who was rolling and crawling to the ground.
Seeing these two attacks, the spirits of the Red Army fans at the scene were also shaken.
But just when these Red Army fans thought that Liverpool's goal was about to come, the game ushered in a major turning point.
In the 68th minute of the game, after Liverpool withstood a four-minute small attack wave by Naples, they took advantage of the opportunity to steal the ball in the backcourt to launch a counterattack.
Salah dribbled the ball along the wing and rushed to the right side of the penalty area, forming a partial two-on-two with Mo Yang who ran toward the ribs.
Salah slowed down and waited until Lu Yin could no longer retreat before suddenly passing the ball to Mo Yang.
Seeing the resemblance to Mo Yang, Coulibaly rushed to grab him without saying a word.
He saw the right moment and stretched out his foot to chop between Mo Yang's legs in advance.
If there is no accident, when the ball comes to Mo Yang's feet, he will just chop it.
But the next second, Mo Yang stepped forward with his right foot, and the rolling ball hit his outer instep and jumped up, flying right between Mo Yang and Coulibaly.
Coulibaly was caught off guard and was tricked again, which made the big black man suddenly feel angry.
So he made a very scary move.
Seeing that Mo Yang was about to slip away from him, he stomped out his left foot and kicked hard, then forcefully twisted his hips, raised his elbow and turned to the right.
Before Mo Yang had time to escape, he felt as if his whole right face had been punched hard, and the world was spinning.
"boom!
!
!
!”
Seeing this bad foul, the entire Sao Paulo Stadium was in an uproar.
“Beep beep beep!
!
"
The referee Kao Shaoyin was nearby. When he saw Coulibaly's action, he immediately blew the whistle in his mouth.
But a conflict is inevitable!
Yin Bu was closest to Mo Yang, so he immediately exploded and rushed over to challenge Coulibaly.
Liverpool and Naples then collectively felt that the two sides were spitting venom and pushing each other at the scene of the incident.
Kao Shaoyin's sharp whistle sounded frequently, and with the help of the captains of both teams, the conflict between the players of both sides was stopped in time.
"Yang! What's wrong, tell me?" Team doctor Rodri knelt on one knee beside Mo Yang, frowning and looking at Mo Yang, who looked like he hadn't recovered yet.
"A little dizzy! Tinnitus!" Mo Yang shook his head, but he was still a little dizzy!
"Do you want to vomit?" Hearing Mo Yang's answer, Rodri frowned even deeper.
"Disgusting!" Mo Yang answered truthfully. He was almost knocked out just now.
"Yang, you may have a concussion, you can't continue playing!" After Rodri said this, he stood up and made a substitution signal to Klopp, who was waiting eagerly on the sidelines, and then helped Mo Yang off the field.
Klopp acted quickly and directly replaced Chamberlain.
Then immediately ask Pete and Rodri to send Moyang to the hospital for examination.
Soon, after discussing with the linesman, Kao Shaoyin finally decided to let Coulibaly go and only gave him a yellow card as a warning.
This made Liverpool players very dissatisfied.
Henderson came forward to negotiate, but Kao Shaoyin upheld the original verdict.
"This Coulibaly is such a thief! It's hard to tell whether he turned around, threw his shoulders and raised his elbows, whether it was intentional or unintentional!"
"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded with a look of helplessness, "I hope Mo Yang is okay, otherwise Liverpool will be in trouble. After all, they will welcome the powerful Manchester City at home in a few days. It won't work without Mo Yang!
