Red Star Belgrade head coach Milojevic reacted very quickly. Taking advantage of a dead ball on the sideline, he immediately conveyed his instructions to every Red Star player.
After the game restarted, Klopp next to him was stunned because he saw that Red Star Belgrade, who had been timid just now, had resumed the tactics of pressing forward collectively and pressing high.
Klopp turned his head and looked at Milojevic in the coaching area on the left. He didn't expect that this guy was so stubborn and dared to play like this.
Milojevic noticed Klopp's gaze, gave him a bachelor look, and then laughed happily.
For Milojevic, by bringing Red Star Belgrade into the Champions League, he has fulfilled the goal set by the club's senior management ahead of schedule.
As for qualifying for the group, after the bloody massacre at Paris Saint-Germain, the little light in his heart had been extinguished.
Being assigned to such a death group, Milojevic could not see any hope of advancement.
So instead of shrinking from a humiliating loss, he might as well have a real fight with Liverpool. Even if he loses, he will lose spectacularly. This is what Milojevic is really thinking at this moment.
On the field, Mo Yang saw that after five or six minutes of confusion, the Red Star of Belgrade unexpectedly pressed forward with troops again. His face was filled with astonishment, and then his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Because this is very consistent with the game strategic policy set by Klopp before the game.
The reason why Klopp changed to 4231 was not only to strengthen the backcourt defense, but also to target Red Star Belgrade's tactics.
This powerful Sevilla team actually plays very similar to Liverpool in that they both like high-pressing tactics.
Through observation during this period, Mo Yang found that the Red Star players in Belgrade were OK in grabbing the ball, but the passing was too poor. The defense in the midfield and backfield was really not like a team playing in the Champions League. It was really bad.
.
The most important point is that the opponent's midfield defense has too many holes, and they cannot keep up with Liverpool's offensive speed when they retreat defensively.
After catching these weaknesses, Mo Yang was no longer polite to Belgrade Red Star. Since the other party was not afraid of death, he would give them a ride.
If the game can be ended in the first half, it will definitely be a great thing for Liverpool, who are still tired.
In the 25th minute of the game, Red Star Belgrade was on the left side of the midfield circle in the half, with Mo Yang and Robertson in front, and Van Dijk in front of them.
The three of them stood in an inverted triangle and kicked the ball continuously, causing the Red Star midfielder Ebesilio, who was chasing the ball in the middle of the three, to spin around.
Seeing Ebesilio coming around the corner, Van Dijk passed directly forward to Mo Yang and Firmino who was stuck in the middle behind Robertson.
Mo Yang took advantage of the situation and completed his turn. When he saw that Firmino had pushed the ball over and there was no one around him, he burst into laughter.
Ever since he became more and more famous, Mo Yang no longer felt the comfort of having no one around to mark him during the competition, and the vast world allowed him to roam around.
Unexpectedly, I found this long-lost feeling today.
Suppressing the desire in his heart, Mo Yang took the ball and stabbed it directly in front of his left rib.
At the same time, after passing the ball, Firmino quickly moved towards the center, and Robertson immediately joined along the wing.
In front of the top of the arc, Jota and Salah stood on the left and right, supporting the Red Star Belgrade defense.
The defensive position of the Red Star team is 631, with 6 people in the back line lying across the front of the penalty area, forming a long and narrow defensive strip.
In the rib area in front of Mo Yang, seeing Mo Yang rushing towards him with the ball, Red Star right back Stokovich stopped retreating, bent over his ribs and glared at Mo Yang, as if he wanted to go solo.
pick.
On the left side of Mo Yang, Red Star midfielder Jovic also leaned towards Mo Yang from the side.
Once he successfully sticks to Mo Yang, plus Stokovic blocking the front, it will not be difficult to steal the ball with the combined strength of the two of them.
But just when Stokovic's idea came up, Mo Yang released the ball, and suddenly he kicked the ball while running.
The ball flew past the upper corner of the penalty area on the left, right in front of Red Star midfielder Ben.
But this guy didn't seem to expect that Mo Yang would pass the ball like this. By the time he reacted, the ball had already rolled past him and went straight to the bottom line of the penalty area.
In front of the baseline in the penalty area, Robertson, who was sprinting with his back hunched over, hit the horse and then passed an inverted triangle back to the center of the penalty area.
At this time, Red Star Belgrade's defense had already reached the end line of the small penalty area.
Jota and Salah were outflanking the penalty spot.
But neither of them got the ball because Robertson didn't give it to them.
At the penalty spot, Firmino was very calm. He raised his right foot and stepped on the ball directly. His first action was to fake a shot, and then he quickly moved his right foot forward to the left, and then immediately followed up and raised it.
The left leg swings directly.
This continuous change of rhythm caused the three Red Star Belgrade players in front of him who were busy blocking to stagger.
On the goal line, although Red Star Belgrade goalkeeper Borjan guessed the right direction, Firmino's shot was too fast and went to the upper right corner of the goal, so Borjan once again
Raise your hands and surrender.
"goal!
!
!
!
"
The moment the goal was scored, 50,000 Red Army fans on site and Berglin in the commentary stand roared at the same time.
The hoarse cheers were like the roars of wild animals, making people's scalp numb.
On the sidelines, Klopp was very calm this time. He kept applauding with a grin on his face. He looked at his fans who were huddled together on the court to celebrate, and his face was full of joy.
Next to him, Milojevic looked very dark.
"Robertson's pass was really accurate, and Firmino was very calm in handling the ball. His fake shot suddenly changed his rhythm and started again. It was really terrible!"
"Hey, there seems to be no suspense about the game anymore!" Zhang Lu laughed.
"Judging from the performance of the two teams during this period, although the skills of the Red Star Belgrade players are worse than those of Liverpool, their enthusiasm for fighting is not bad. Unfortunately, just being aggressive is not enough, and the passing is too poor."
"Yes, it's not that Red Star Belgrade has not launched an attack in the past 20 minutes or so. It's just that most of the time, before they even got close to the Liverpool penalty area, Liverpool players successfully intercepted the ball and counterattacked!"
Zhang Lu nodded and said: "This is the difference between having Mo Yang and not having Mo Yang. You see how smoothly Liverpool's formation switched between 4231 and 433 in this game. It is not only smooth but also relaxed. It completely reaches
Klopp’s tactical purpose of retreating to strengthen defense when switching from offense to defense!”
"Red Star Belgrade, if they continue to fight like this, they may suffer a big defeat!" Zhang Luyan said with a confident smile.
Zhang Lu's words soon came true.
In the 44th minute of the game, Arnold stepped in from the right and pushed the ball to Salah in the right rib area, but the ball was blocked by a Red Star player.
The ball fell to Wijnaldum's feet. He quickly looked up and saw Mo Yang gesturing to him in the upper right corner of the penalty area. He directly kicked the ball over.
In the upper right corner of the penalty area, Mo Yang ran horizontally toward the top of the arc along the end line of the penalty area.
Seeing the Red Star Belgrade center back Babic rushing towards him in front of him, Mo Yang raised his right foot while running and rubbed the falling ball. The ball obediently went to Salah, who was on the right side of the top of the key.
Roll forward.
After receiving the ball from Mo Yang again, Salah, who was already warming up when shooting, used his left foot to rub the ball in front of his right foot, then followed up quickly, raised his right foot and swung it.
Approaching the goal post, Borjan made a misjudgment. He was confused by Salah's movement of changing feet and shooting again. He thought it was Salah who wanted to go further away.
As a result, the ball hit the near post and went into the goal.
“Salah, scored twice!
!”
"Mo Yang, also assisted and scored twice!"
"The game is over!" Zhan Jun shouted excitedly in the pp sports live broadcast room when he saw Mo Yang receiving another Champions League assist.
But Liverpool's goals haven't stopped yet.
In the 50th minute of the second half, a stunned Belgrade Red Star player tripped Jota in the penalty area.
This ball should have been taken by Mo Yang, but Mo Yang gave it to Salah again.
In the end, Salah lived up to Mo Yang and successfully scored his first hat trick of the season.
When the 90-minute game ended, Liverpool gave Red Star Belgrade a 5-0 score. After the game, the media reported the game with words such as "massacre" and "tragedy."
