There are many people in Liverpool who have the ability to ride through the barriers alone. Sterling and Coutinho have had such a long drive this season to complete the wonderful operation of scoring.
However, perhaps no one would have thought before the game that Gerrard, after coming off the bench, would be able to perform such a wonderful offensive operation and complete a long-range goal in such an important Champions League semi-final.
Barça players, I did not expect that among the players in Liverpool's front court, Gerrard, who may be the least offensive threat, could actually complete such a wonderful long shot after dribbling the ball forward in the game.
The big score was 2-2. Although Barcelona had an away goal, they still had the initiative to advance.
But at this time, Liverpool only needs to score one more goal to go ahead and qualify for promotion.
Liverpool, who is at home at Anfield, now have about 20 minutes left to try to make another breakthrough on the offensive end.
"Liverpool made another substitution adjustment, Balotelli replaced Lallana, Rogers continued to strengthen the vitality of the team's frontcourt and ensure that the team can always maintain a high-intensity attack."
"Furthermore, with the double forward tactic, at the end of the game, you can increase the number of people in the penalty area. For Liverpool, the wing can be more open for crosses."
Simple and efficient is what Liverpool need to pursue at this time.
Although there are still high points like Lambert on the bench, considering Lambert's mobility, Rogers still takes Balotelli first at the final critical moment.
If, in 85 minutes, the team is still unable to score a goal, Rogers will be ready to send Lambert, the three center forwards, but also to smash the ball in, it is bullying Barcelona's air defense ability is not good.
"After the big score was equalized, Barcelona also made substitution adjustments, but with Liverpool for tat, Enrique's substitution choices were all defensive in nature."
"On the away game, in the final stage of the game, Enrique is still on the safe side and wants to rely on defense to win the game."
"Offensive!"
"Offensive!"
Amidst the cheering of the home fans, Liverpool began to launch a full-scale attack and must score another goal before the end of the game.
If it is said that when Neymar scored the away goal in the second half, Liverpool was at an absolute disadvantage, and the momentum was on the verge of being eliminated.
Then Gerrard’s long shot before gave Liverpool a shot in the heart.
Jie, who came off the bench, not only recovered the score with a wonderful goal, but also his high morale after his appearance, and the louder cheering of the kops at the scene, also infected other Liverpool players.
Everyone is playing at a super level at this time, everyone is trying to do their best, and strive to score another goal.
is only one goal away. Liverpool players will use a more passionate attack and start to develop a better game state in the game.
Sterling was reinfused with vitality, and Coutinho, also in the game, began to find a new offensive rhythm.
Liverpool's offensive has been maintained, while Barcelona's defense has retracted to its own half and laid out a line of defense.
Limited by Mascherano's height, Enrique also sent three central defenders at the end of the game to enhance the team's defense of the high ball in the penalty area.
Mathieu, who came off the bench as the orthodox central defender, is responsible for Barcelona's air defense together with Pique.
And Mascherano is as a player between the midfielder and the central defender, in the game to cover the Barcelona defense, there are various open spaces.
Where can I find time to make up?
Time slowly passed, and Liverpool's offense unfolded again and again.
Time and time again by Barcelona defenders, the ball was stubbornly cleared.
In order to retain Barcelona’s threat of counterattack, Enrique only replaced Suarez before, but also retained Neymar and Messi’s two counterattack points.
But under Liverpool's offensive suppression, Messi and Neymar have no chance to counterattack.
Enrique envisioned Liverpool's physical crisis, and these Liverpool players were forced to withstand it with their tenacious will.
Liverpool's midfielder, gritted his teeth, and, as always, after the offense was over, maintained a high-intensity frontcourt press, and did not give Barcelona any chance to pass control.
After a long pass, Barcelona had no chance at all in the face of Yang Feng's extremely wide control range.
This may be the home court advantage.
Listening to the familiar battle hymns and watching the red wave of fans can provide Liverpool players with extra mental strength and will.
Liverpool players, forget the exhaustion of the body and concentrate on the game.
"It's Gerrard's long shot again!"
"Still hit within the door frame."
"It's just that this time Ter Stegen flew to save and guarded the goal."
"A chance for a corner kick."
In this game, it was Picker who focused on defending Yang Feng in the set-piece defense.
In the Barcelona lineup ~EbookFREE.me~ Before Mathieu came on the bench, compared with Yang Feng, the only player who could not be considered a disadvantage in terms of match height was the "President Pi".
And Barcelona, in order not to give Yang Feng a chance, not only Pique's defense, but also other people's defense at any time to limit Yang Feng's performance in positioning opportunities.
This also gave Liverpool another high point in the game, and Yang Feng’s partner midfielder, Scotter, had many opportunities to compete for set-pieces.
It's just that Scotter completed three headers in the set kick, but none of them turned into goals.
This time, Coutinho forced Yang Feng to find this in the final stage of the game, but Pique used a firm card position to jam Yang Feng and did not allow Yang Feng to get enough space to take off. The ball went directly to the top. , Neither of them reached it.
Positioning opportunities, long-range shots from the outside, and a cross from the wing, the center player's fight for the top.
Liverpool’s various offensive methods began to be used in turns, but the goal was always a little too close.
Gerrard and Coutinho are the main threat points for Liverpool's long-range shots. One old and one young, each has its own unique skills, but today Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen played very bravely in the final stage.
Not only did the long-range shot fail to threaten him, Balotelli’s back-point rush in a sports battle was also magically blocked by him with a single palm.
Ter Stegen, relying on the layers of defense built by many teammates, and his own outstanding performance, in front of Barcelona's gate, a temporary wall was built, as long as the last time of 10 minutes, then Barcelona Just one step closer to the Champions League...
