Three goals behind the away game, two rounds with a big score of 4 to 3, the home game Bayern completed the reversal, Liverpool one step closer to the edge of the eliminated cliff.
Although, this loss is not fatal to Liverpool, because Liverpool had to ask for a goal before.
In the case that Bayern scored this goal, it only allowed Liverpool to regain the advantage of promotion from the previous goal. After Liverpool scored, the two teams will face the same overtime due to the big score and the away goal. That's it.
However, Bayern's third goal was the biggest blow to Liverpool's morale. Liverpool's momentum is sluggish, while Bayern's momentum is like a rainbow.
Ebb and flow, whether Liverpool can break through Bayern Munich's gates under such adversity is the most critical.
And the mighty Bayern, in dealing with this kind of Champions League knockout experience, can be much richer than Liverpool. As a team that can guarantee the results of the Champions League all year round, although Bayern has less pressure in the league, in the Champions League, facing this kind of strong confrontation, they have quite deep experience.
After the team takes the lead further, for Bayern, it is only necessary to follow the defensive tactics developed during the intermission, to do a good job in the defense of the team, and to wait for opportunities to counterattack.
As long as they can score a goal by counterattack, Bayern will completely seal the victory.
The Liverpool coach Rogers on the sidelines is very anxious at this time.
With Bayern leading 3-0, the team is on the verge of being eliminated, which is definitely not what Rogers expected to see. As the game time entered 60 minutes, Rogers began to make substitutions and adjustments.
When this kind of team needs to work hard to launch the final offense, Rogers sent Gerrard, the most trusted team captain at this time.
To replace Lucas with the Jie team, Rogers will send more offensive players to further attack.
Jie’s playing is one aspect. Balotelli, Lambert and even Joe Allen are all warming up at this time. The limited attacking players on Liverpool’s bench must be prepared. If Liverpool still can’t When scoring a goal, Rogers will play all the offensive cards in his hand.
For Bayern on the court, it only needs patience to do its own defense.
With all Bayern players retiring to their own half, it was not easy for Liverpool to play in the frontcourt.
Pass-control teams are actually the best at defensive pass-control.
After all, everyone plays similarly, and there is no difference in passing ideas.
In the overall offensive tactics, Liverpool encountered Bayern's very targeted defensive arrangement. In the case that they could not be easily played out, in the end, Liverpool's offense still needs to rely on the players' personal performance.
This kind of play is concentrated on Sterling.
As the most improved player in Liverpool's lineup this season, Sterling perfectly replaced Suarez's participation rate in Liverpool's attack in the season that Suarez left.
Although Sterling could not achieve the offensive effect of Suarez, he also used his own way to launch an impact at any position on the wing and center.
Liverpool's own personal ability, with point to surface, as a burst point to drive Liverpool's overall attack.
With Liverpool's offense slightly stagnant, Sterling's personal breakthrough is still needed to create a certain attack space for Liverpool.
Sterling's breakthrough alone, sometimes even facing two Bayern defensive players are not afraid.
Extremely fast speed, excellent explosive power, good flexibility, and the degree of physical confrontation developed in the Premier League.
Although Sterling is not tall enough, when he really starts to speed, the defensive players may not really be able to limit him.
In particular, Sterling, as Liverpool’s frontcourt free agent, although most of the time he mainly attacks on the right, but occasionally switching to the left to break through can create a lot of "surprises" for Bayern’s defense. .
Sterling and Coutinho's attack on the left, matched with Moreno who is ready to take over from the rear.
Liverpool's offensive combination suddenly exerted force on the left, and it also caught Bayern's defense by surprise.
Stirling faced Bernat, who was defending him, and directly broke through on the wing.
Bernat's speed is not slow, but he is used to defending against a technical offensive player like Coutinho, and suddenly faced with Sterling, a "reckless man" who relies on speed to feed on, he did not adapt for a while. After Lin speeded up to grab half of his position, because Sterling had already stepped into the penalty area with one foot, Bernat, who was behind him, was afraid to shovel.
Sterling stuck Bernat into the penalty area, facing Neuer who was half-attacked, Sterling, who did not have a large shooting angle, decisively chose to pass the ball to his teammate.
Sturridge, who followed up in the middle, used his own position to attract two Bayern players into the small penalty area.
However, Sterling's pass did not look for Sturridge, who was blocked by Bayern players and could only be seen in a narrow field of vision.
Instead, pass the ball directly to the blind zone of his vision, and pass the ball further back.
"Trust your teammates!"
This is Sterling's resolute choice in the final pass.
And this teammate is not Liverpool striker Sturridge, but one of the players who have spent the longest time with him, Henderson!
Even if Sterling could not see the situation on the court, but knowing that Sturridge attracted heavy defense, the area behind him must be larger.
Henderson, who followed, went directly to the counterattack position he was most familiar with, and waited for the leak to hit the door directly.
The ball has been passed by Sterling before the man has arrived.
This time, Henderson barely ran an extra step, forcibly reached the football, and completed a kick on the go without any extra adjustments.
Rogers on the sidelines saw Henderson's wonderful kick and was ready to cheer.
However, Neuer's divine reaction caused Rogers to turn around angrily and vent his dissatisfaction.
At a critical moment, Neuer quickly fell to the ground and directly took the ball out with a single palm. He only gave Liverpool a corner kick and resolved Liverpool's most dangerous attack in this game.
The game time is close to 70 minutes. At this time, for Liverpool, it is almost desperate.
Rogers hesitated and played his second substitution card.
With a forward, veteran Lambert, replaced Lallana, with this traditional British center, just to hit Bayern's goal.
Use the opportunity of a dead ball to complete the substitution, you can maximize the chance of this corner kick.
When Lambert appeared in the Bayern penalty area, for many Bayern defensive players, a very realistic question was who would defend this newly replaced high center forward.
Originally, Yang Feng and Skrtel had been holding down many Bayern air defense forces.
At this time, a Lambert suddenly appeared. In order to defend Lambert's header, Bayern could only relax the defensive protection of the opponent's double center back.
Facts have proved that in Rogers' second adjustment, the selection of personnel was extremely correct, and the timing of substitution was also quite essential.
Lambert's appearance, before the kick-off, was in the Bayern penalty area, rushing from left to right, constantly creating physical confrontations with the defender, attracting the attention of Bayern defenders.
When Gerrard's corner kick was taken, Yang Feng got a certain amount of running space in a slightly relaxed environment.
With only Badstuber defending himself, this time Yang Feng did not miss an opportunity.
Gerrard's pass, landing point, and speed control are quite precise, and it is completely a tactical pass expressed in tactical gestures.
As for Yang Feng, he first ran to the right and back, after two steps, he stopped immediately and turned to the left to find the middle.
From time to time, because Badstuber followed Yang Feng's footsteps and his reaction was half a beat slow, Yang Feng won more space for himself.
Then take off directly, leaping high.
The man jumped and the ball passed.
The following Badstuber jumped forcibly to interfere with Yang Feng, but Yang Feng was in the air, carrying Badstuber's confrontation hard, his waist used force to maintain the air, and the neck force was to directly head the ball. To the upper left corner of the goal.
Such a close-range header was completed between the electric light and flint.
Although Neuer wanted to make a forcible save this time, he was still in the air. Halfway through the flight, the ball had flown into the goal.
3 to 1!
The two rounds scored 4 to 4!
Yang Feng's header made great contributions and tied the score for Liverpool, and the game resumed great suspense.
The Allianz Arena was silent for a moment.
No one thought that the opportunity of a corner kick would allow Liverpool to seize the opportunity and score such a goal, not too threatening.
Goals are the most important thing.
Yang Feng frantically celebrated with his teammates, especially Gerrard who assisted him, and Rogers on the sidelines was also using exaggerated physical movements to vent his inner tension and oppressive emotions.
Liverpool's previous 70 minutes of distress were vented by Yang Feng's goal.
And now the two sides have a big score of 4 to 4 and a tie.
Definitely at the same starting line.
Bayern occupies a certain home court advantage, as well as better personnel reserves.
On the Liverpool side, they have a more threatening away goal advantage.
Now the total score of the two sides is tied, and the away goal is the same.
If Liverpool score another goal, then Liverpool will have a real advantage in away goals.
At that time, there will be no possibility of entering overtime. Liverpool scores another goal and Bayern can only score two more goals to directly win the game, otherwise Liverpool will advance.
Of course, the premise is that Liverpool score another goal.
There are about 20 minutes of regular game time, and the total score is 4 to 4.
For Bayern, Guardiola also began to make some substitution adjustments to achieve the purpose of alleviating the physical fitness of the players on the court.
In the real decisive stage, Bayern will still be attacking.
Guardiola chooses to believe in his players.
And Rogers, after completing the two substitution adjustments, knew that at this time, it was not suitable to do the difficult defense anymore. The team had to rely on offense to find the initiative.
There is also an away goal as a temptation. Liverpool's tactics are also mainly attacking.
At the end of the game, the two teams finally started to fight each other.
The choice of offensive tactics and the physical consumption of the players under continuous running made the two sides really open and close the offensive, and found that the defensive groups of the two teams were not too capable of preventing the opponent's offense.
Due to the decline in physical fitness and the reduction in midfield interception, both teams started to get some pretty good offensive opportunities in the game.
This kind of opportunity, although not in the penalty area, will directly cause an easy chance to hit the goal, but let the opponent pass the ball smoothly in his own half, and finally hit the goal with a kick outside the penalty area, but it will be both sides. The face of the defensive line was shattered.
When there is a physical problem, no matter how good a defender is, facing the opponent's offensive player is at an absolute disadvantage.
This disadvantage will become bigger and bigger as the game progresses. The opportunity is created, depending on whether the offensive players can grasp it ~EbookFREE.me~ and Bayern, who sits at home, is indeed more dominant. Party.
Although Yang Feng's physical reserves are still very good, in the face of the impact of Bayern's large number of offensive players, Yang Feng and his defense are unable to take care of everything.
Bayern's offense, in the final moments of the game, showed a very good ability to create threats.
After a flat game, Alaba suddenly took over Ribery's offensive banner.
Taking advantage of Ribery's entire game, the breakthrough of the wing has exhausted the physical and energy of Liverpool defender Flanagan.
Alaba also launched an attack on this side in order to maximize the use of Flanagan, Liverpool's "weakness."
"So tired!"
This is Flanagan's deepest feeling on the defensive end.
Throughout the game, facing Ribery’s impact, there was really no room left at this time to limit Alaba.
Alaba forced a bottom impact, then a high-quality cross, almost assisting Mueller with a header.
After that, Liverpool's offense did not improve, and Alaba himself once again launched a strong attack on the left.
Although Flanagan was not a step away, but under the impact of Alaba, he did not have a good chance to complete the restriction.
After being used as Bayern's offensive target on both occasions, and being successfully broken by the opponent fairly easily, Rogers made a temporary adjustment for his third substitution.
Use Glen Johnson, who has recovered recently, to replace Flanagan, who is already exhausted. When Glen Johnson barely blocked the opening in the wing, the game time entered 80 minutes, and the final stage of the two sides will show the greatest enthusiasm and devote themselves to the most critical moment of the game.
The result will determine the fate of the two teams...
