After equalizing the score, Paris Saint-Germain's morale skyrocketed. The smoothness of the transition between offense and defense gave Mo Yang a very novel feeling. This Paris team now feels a bit unfamiliar to him.
Mo Yang never expected that when Verratti came on, the opponent's midfield looked like it had completely changed from the first round.
Seeing that Paris Saint-Germain was playing more and more excitedly, and the sports battles were flourishing, constantly creating pressure on Liverpool's defense, Mo Yang began to appear frequently in the middle, trying to suppress Paris Saint-Germain's metronome Verratti.
At first, Mo Yang wanted to start with Verratti's weak physical resistance.
But after several fights, Mo Yang felt that this guy was as slippery as a loach. He could go around, drill, and run. His ability to change directions and dodge was like an antelope on the African savanna. If you don't pay attention, he would slip away without a trace.
.
Also, this guy's dribbling is really excellent. With his short legs and quick speed, coupled with his agile changes of direction, Mo Yang doesn't dare to take a shot easily.
But if Mo Yang insists on competing, Verratti will lead Mo Yang to hide and seek on the court, leaving Mo Yang with few opportunities for close confrontation.
Although the defense was difficult, Mo Yang did not give up. He began to selectively mark Verratti.
As long as Verratti does not appear in passing areas and routes that can create danger, Moyang will relax his guard on Verratti.
Mo Yang's approach was effective, and Paris' offensive rhythm soon slowed down.
This change was discovered by Tuchel in an instant.
In his tactical design for this game, Verratti is not only the metronome of the team, but also the transfer station and dispatcher of the team's midfield ball rights.
But now Verratti is being targeted by Mo Yang. Although he was not completely restricted due to his flexible movement, it still affected the team's offense.
Seeing this situation, Tuchel became a little anxious for a while.
Because he had received news that another game between Naples and Red Star Belgrade that started at the same time was already 3-0 before the first half ended.
Therefore, the possibility of a comeback for Red Star Belgrade in an away game is infinitely close to 0.
As a result, Naples' group points will be reduced to 9 points.
If they lose, even if they win Red Star Belgrade in the last round, they will only have 8 points and still cannot advance to the knockout rounds, and will have to play in the Europa League as third place.
This result is unacceptable to both Tuchel and the top management of Paris Saint-Germain.
In recent years, the club has invested heavily every year to recruit players from major European clubs. What is the purpose of recruiting famous coaches?
Don’t you hope to make a name for yourself in the Champions League?
Therefore, Tuchel must win this game, or make a draw, so that they can have hope of advancing.
With this in mind, Tuchel started yelling, negotiating with the players on the field, and giving on-the-spot instructions.
Compared with Tuchel, who was jumping up and down, Klopp seemed much calmer.
This is the benefit of the team having a commander who can always keep his head clear during the game.
Klopp sees everything Mo Yang does. Although Mo Yang devotes most of his energy to defense, he is not idle in offense. He will still follow his instructions before the game and use long passes when he finds the right opportunity.
The ball initiates the attack.
The only thing that makes Klopp feel pity is that his own Trident is not in good condition today. Although there are many shots on goal, the goal conversion rate is not high.
As the game progressed, time passed slowly.
Just when all the fans thought that the two sides were going into the halftime break with a score of 1-1, Paris Saint-Germain launched an offensive at the end of the game.
In the last ten minutes of the first half, after receiving instructions from Tuchel, Marquinhos continued his position when the team was attacking with the ball. Not only did he support and protect Verratti, he also
participated in the attack.
Faced with the sudden one-on-two, Mo Yang did not give in. He ran back and forth at all costs and continued to suppress Paris' midfield.
But two fists cannot defeat four hands. After all, football is a sport for eleven people, so some oversights are inevitable.
In the 38th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain attacked with the ball and Liverpool retreated across the board.
Seeing Verratti in the middle being suppressed by Mo Yang, Marquinhos quickly entered the frontcourt and came behind the striker to provide support.
In the rib area of the offensive third zone, Neymar encountered Milner's frontal marking on the wing. Gomez also stood in the joint area of the rib area, waiting for Neymar to go down along the wing, and then he and Milner would attack back and forth.
But Neymar was not fooled. He faced the top of the arc in the middle, waited for Marquinhos to come up from the right front, and suddenly released the ball.
Although Marquinhos followed Tuchel's instructions to support Verratti, he knew very well that his responsibilities were still on the defensive end. He could not stay in the frontcourt for a long time, otherwise he would probably be stolen.
Seeing Di Maria standing in the left rib area, with Lovren blocking him behind him, Gomez and Milner on the left staggered one after another, protecting the side rib area in a layered manner, he suddenly
I got an idea.
Slowing down and taking a few steps forward, he suddenly threw the ball to Neymar on the left front line, shouted at the same time, and then speeded up and moved forward to the wing.
Milner quickly closed the distance and blocked Neymar on the sideline, but Gomez was attracted by Marquinhos who continued to advance towards the left side of the penalty area and had to follow out to prevent Neymar from passing the ball.
, let Marquinhos pass from the bottom.
However, in the next second, Neymar moved his right foot to the right, suddenly changed direction, broke through Milner's defense, and cut inside with the ball.
And Marquinhos' forward running down the wing was just a smokescreen.
With Milner stuck behind him, Neymar did not continue to rush forward, but quickly kicked off and passed the ball to the left rib area.
At the same time, Mbappe, who was on the left free throw arc, quickly rushed towards the landing point.
Van Dijk behind Mbappe is not slow either, he is always stuck behind Mbappe.
On Lovren's side, Lovren, who filled in at the joint position of the side ribs, found out that he had been fooled and quickly returned to his position.
He turned around and rushed over quickly, trying to flank Mbappe with Van Dijk.
But this scene is still not Paris Saint-Germain's ultimate goal.
Before Lovren could rush forward, Mbappe, whose back was pressed against Van Dijk's chest, jumped up and headed directly back to Di Maria behind Lovren.
Di Maria stopped the ball on his chest, waited for the ball to hit the ground and bounced. When he found that the height was just right, he lowered his head and immediately volleyed with his legs.
After completing the shot, Di Maria was overjoyed. This shot gave him a very good feeling. He was very good at catching the ball and making up for it. He thought it might be a success.
But the moment he raised his head to observe, Di Maria suddenly noticed a red figure floating through the air in front of him, at least one meter above the ground.
The flight path of the ball also deviated somewhat from Di Maria's prediction and was significantly higher. This was obviously because the figure that just flew past had touched it and changed the flight path of the ball.
Suddenly, Di Maria's thin face was full of disbelief. It was the first time someone jumped so high in front of him. This was simply not a human being.
In front of the goal, Alisson's line of sight was somewhat obstructed, and he chose a position in the middle of the goal. He did not expect the ball to come like this. His years of goalkeeping intuition told him that it would be very difficult to save this ball.
Determining the flight path of the ball, Alisson pounced towards the upper left corner, but soon found that his fingertips could not reach the ball.
"Bang!"
The next second, when he heard this crisp impact, Alisson came back to his senses, a joy surged from his heart, and he escaped from death.
"boom!
!
!
"
Seeing the ball hitting the crossbar and popping out of the baseline, the deafening sound suddenly reappeared at the Parc des Princes.
Amidst the overwhelming sounds of annoyance, Di Maria was so angry that she threw her hands and raised her head and roared to vent her frustration.
He was right about the ball, the force and fall were just right.
If it hadn't been for this monster's midfield touch, he would have definitely scored.
But in professional games, there are never ifs.
On the sidelines, Tuchel was so angry that he jumped up and down, pacing back and forth with a gloomy look on his face.
