Chapter 569: Opening gift

This is a very crucial game for Liverpool.
The home game is played first, and the team that prioritizes home games in the two rounds of the Champions League knockout matches is definitely at some disadvantage.
The most that Liverpool could do in the first leg at Anfield was to win the game with all its strength and expand the score as much as possible.
In the second round, I went to the Allianz Arena, which is definitely one of the most difficult home stadiums in Europe. "The whistle blew, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool vs. Bayern Munich officially kicked off."
In this game, the Liverpool players definitely took out 200% of their spirits, and they will also overturn Bayern at home.
Liverpool's iconic frontcourt press this season was naturally used at the beginning. Without any tentative play, Liverpool had to "fight bayonet" directly with Bayern from the beginning to take advantage of momentum.
Under Guardiola's Bayern, although with Lewandowski's strong support to join, the ball-handling tactic reform has also been implemented smoothly, but it is also not perfect.
Bayern's current most serious problem is that the players in individual positions on the team are somewhat older.
Just look at the average age of the team, Bayern has no problem, but as far as the actual situation is concerned, the average age of Bayern is lowered by the future stars of many young talents.
The players who are really the main players, but a few players have almost passed their true peak period, or the tail of the peak period. For players over 30 years old, even if modern medical conditions are more scientific and developed than in the past, it is undeniable that most players are still at risk of falling off a cliff in their game state and physical function.
As for the Bayern players, there are still many key positions. The players are all in their thirties.
Ribery, Harvey Alonso, and captain Ram, who started the game, are already veterans.
Although their game experience is rich and the overall situation is strong, but the decline in physical function is still very obvious.
Ribery may still be able to play Yu Yong on the offensive end now, and he is still a good man on the wing attack, but on the defensive end, he obviously has more than enough energy.
Bayern’s defense almost always relies on the suppression of offense to make up for the lack of overall defensive strength. In this situation, facing some weakened teams, it is very good when facing some top European teams. It may suffer.
The main offensive aspect of the positional war established by Liverpool before the game is actually on Ribery’s side. On the one hand, Liverpool must focus on Bayern’s defensive side. On the other hand, Liverpool itself has the idea of ​​using offense instead of defense. Using his own offense, try to nail Ribery's wing to the Bayern halftime to alleviate the possible impact Flanagan may suffer.
The direction of Liverpool's secondary attack is actually the central area.
Although Ram is from a full-back to the midfielder, he still has no shortage of speed. Harvey Alonso, as a meritorious Liverpool player, is still old and strong, but it is undeniable that no matter how much experience he has, he does not have enough physical support. Liverpool's young players can still use their powerful impact to find opportunities in the middle.
However, the arena is changing rapidly, Liverpool's offense has not really started, a big gift was delivered to Liverpool.
Bayern took the lead in the first half to tee off, and Guardiola dreams of playing at Bayern and using Bayern's huge resources to recreate a Barcelona dream team.
For this reason, Guashuai bought the "perennial sick number" Tiago with a lot of money, adjusted the position of Lahm, and also found the heroic player Harvey Alonso of the rival Real Madrid, just to create a world-class transmission control Midfielder.
Facts have proved that Bayern did a good job of passing and controlling, but when faced with the strong and purposeful impact of the opponent, Bayern did not do very well.
This season, Bayern’s ball-handling tactics are actually quite single, so single that they give Liverpool players the opportunity to make targeted arrangements after detailed understanding off the court.
Harvey Alonso, as a typical delayed midfielder, is responsible for the ball in the delayed position in the current Bayern passing control system.
Such an obvious arrangement is also to give play to the advantages of Alonso's long pass, and also to avoid the opponent's more pressing impact.
Guardiola deliberately dragged Alonso's position to the very back, close to the position in front of the penalty zone line, and the two central defenders will pull left and right to open the passing space for Alonso and prevent Liverpool's The press worked.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes.
Many unexpected factors in the game will be intertwined to form an irresistible factor.
Under Liverpool's fierce pressing, Thiago had no room to advance after receiving the ball in the middle, and could only choose to pass the ball back quickly.
Xavi Alonso responded right in front of the penalty area.
This kind of response passes the ball back in the middle, and then passes the ball to Neuer further behind, or passes to Boateng on the left, or even makes a smash by himself, after dunking the defender, he takes it forward, Alonso There are so many choices.
However, watching Sterling rushing over quickly, while sighing the young players' ability to run on the court, Alonso also ruled out the idea of ​​carrying the ball.
After stopping the ball, Alonso was ready to immediately pass back to Boateng at Rabian. If it returned to goalkeeper Neuer, Alonso was afraid that he might be overtaken by Sterling.
It's just that, at the moment of stopping the ball, Alonso shook his heart.
What is called a home court advantage is that as a home team, you can train on a field every day, knowing the specific situation of the field and possible problems.
The visiting team, in the away field, is of course a dazzling smear. The so-called stepping training is more of stepping on the field and adapting to the turf of the opponent's home court. It is impossible to be detailed and clarify the ground conditions in each area.
Compared with the Allianz Stadium, Liverpool's turf cut height, the ground situation is naturally very different from the familiar stadium of Bayern.
And Thiago's pass, maintaining the inertia of the past, fast, accurate, and ruthless, this time was pitted by Alonso on the grass of Liverpool.
Alonso stopped the ball. Just before the stop, the ball quickly wiped the ground and jumped irregularly ~EbookFREE.me~ which led to Alonso not stopping the football for the first time.
"not good!"
Although Alonso reacted immediately, readjusted, prepared to block Sterling with his back to complete the rescue.
But Sterling's speed is too fast.
Immediately stepped forward and formed a press against Alonso.
Sterling is young and explosive, and he is not afraid of physical confrontation in the Premier League.
Sterling stepped forward fiercely to rob, directly on the body, to bully "old people" like Alonso.
Alonso's back did not block Sterling, but Sterling rushed over from the side.
The referee did not blow the whistle!
In this way, Sterling stole the ball from the feet of Alonso in front of the penalty area, and Alonso, after the confrontation, had already suffered a loss and fell directly to the ground, staring at him. Sterling's back in front...
Sterling faced Neuer.
As the "door guard" Neuer had already attacked.
The direct confrontation between Sterling and Neuer.
However, although Sterling may not shoot well, Sterling, who has just entered the penalty area, has plenty of room to handle the ball.
Directly forcibly changed direction and accelerated laterally to lead the ball. Sterling wanted to avoid Neuer's defense and then tried to open the empty goal.
Neuer's forward momentum was unstoppable. He couldn't hold Neuer leaning forward, his legs stretched out desperately, trying to touch the ball under Sterling first.
The result was that the ball did not touch, but instead slammed Sterling directly to the ground. "Dududu—"
The whistle sounded, and the referee pointed to the penalty spot, not just the penalty. This time Neuer’s foul may directly constitute a "red dot package." Anyway, it is a fact that Bayern suffered a serious injury at the beginning. !
