832 Tactics of the Red Army

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final at Anfield begins.

Real Madrid tried their best to gain a firm foothold after the opening, and waited for the whole team to enter the game state before launching a threatening offensive.

But Liverpool will not give Real Madrid too much time, they will increase the pace of the game and start attacking after the opening.

In the 2nd minute of the game, Gerrard crossed the midfielder diagonally to the front right, and Didier delivered a direct pass. Gerrard responded and then turned around and swept the ball to the front of the penalty area. Torres stopped the ball and shook the front and back of Pepe and Diarra. Flanking, he did not develop into the penalty area, because Cannavaro obviously waited for him to change direction before intercepting.

Torres took a shot from the edge of the penalty area, and the football flew to the lower right corner of the goal. Casillas was well prepared and pressed the ball directly under the palm of his hand.

After seeing Liverpool's attack, all Real Madrid generals have an intuition: Liverpool is afraid of us!

It's a very subtle feeling.

Obviously Liverpool is attacking, but you can still feel the fear in Liverpool's heart.

Why?

Although this attack turned into a shot, it was because Liverpool played very fast on the ground and created opportunities with three passes and two downs. But look at the midfield players. Te and Benayoun didn't step into the danger zone either.

Just relying on the current Liverpool twin stars Torres and Gerrard to charge forward.

It's understandable if it's an away game, but it happens to be Liverpool's home game. They have invested so little troops, and they are obviously a little afraid of Real Madrid.

This made the Real Madrid generals feel a little relaxed.

In the 6th minute of the game, Real Madrid completed the first shot of the game.

Sneijder cooperated with Qin Xiong to hit the wall in the frontcourt and then passed the ball back to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong sent a straight pass. After Raul retreated to respond, he dialed the ball horizontally to complete the shot and turned around to face the goal. This shot It flew out of the bottom line by rubbing the outside of the goal post.

After 2 minutes, Benayoun sent a straight pass from the left side of the front court, and Torres retreated to meet the ball and knocked it across.Gerrard, who was ambushing behind, blasted a long shot towards the ball, and Casillas saved the ball to the bottom line.

"Liverpool shot a threatening shot! Gerrard's long-range shot almost pierced Casillas's ten fingers! Liverpool's fast break is very mature, the tacit understanding is very high, and the pass and cut cooperation between teammates is very efficient."

It seems that Liverpool only hope to use the combination of Torres and Gerrard to shake Real Madrid's defense. It cannot be said that such an idea is too naive, but it will not bring more pressure on Real Madrid's defense.

Liverpool attaches great importance to defense, and the physically bursting Dirk Dirk can provide higher defensive contributions than traditional wide players.Benayoun also pays attention to regional defense, plus Mascherano and Alonso can attack and defend well, Liverpool's defensive hardness at the midfield line is beyond imagination.

In the 16th minute of the game, Real Madrid began to form an advantage on the scene by continuously passing the ball in the midfield to shape the offensive situation.

Benitez was sitting on the coach's bench and staring at the development of the game on the field. No one knew why his hand holding the pen would gradually exert strength to grip the pen holder at this time.He didn't even notice the irregular lines drawn by the pen tip on his notepad.

Qin Xiong crossed back and forth with Guti and crossed diagonally to the front left. He and Sneijder completed the exchange of running positions.

Sneijder responded to Guti's pass and passed it diagonally to Qin Xiong.

After Qin Xiong dribbled two steps horizontally, he attracted the defense of Alonso, Arbeloa, and Dirk.

He passed the ball diagonally back to the unmarked Guti in the gap, and the latter immediately made an offensive transfer. He saw Robben who was advancing forward on the right, and decisively sent it straight with one foot on the ground.

Robben confronts Riise's entanglement.After kicking back the ball at the moment of stopping the ball, shaking Riise away, he looked up to observe the situation in the penalty area, and then kicked an inward cross.

The football with inward rotation went around the back of the goal.

After passing the ball to Guti.Qin Xiong rushed forward quickly. At this time, no one could keep up with him and interfere with him defensively.

When the football fell, goalkeeper Reina also moved to the point behind the goal.

Qin Xiong still felt awkward with Robben's inward curve ball.

Because it is an inspin ball, the football flies towards the goal. In this case, it is more beneficial to Reina in the comparison between Qin Xiong's forward rush and Reina's expansion of the defensive area.

Qin Xiong hit the goal with a header when the football fell.But he didn't have any expectations in his heart at all, and he had no angle at all!

Reina was less than a meter away from him, and he had no other choice to handle the ball except for a header.

And Reina blocked almost all angles of the goal with his body!

Unsurprisingly, Qin Xiong's header was blocked by Reina with his shoulder.

Qin Xiong ran out of the bottom line and circled a small arc before turning back and running towards the outside of the penalty area.I plan to see if there is a chance to form a second attack or counter-robbery on the spot.

The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands were terrified. The scene just now was too thrilling.

Fortunately, Reina expanded the defensive area.Otherwise Robben will send Qin Xiong a perfect assist.

At this moment, Benitez, who was sitting on the coach's bench by the sidelines, gritted his teeth in addition to firmly holding his pen.

Against Real Madrid's opponents, he is not afraid!

In the gorgeous and dazzling era of the Galaxy Battleship, he led the Bat Legion Valencia to step on the Galaxy Battleship twice!

If Liverpool only invested in the "Gemini combination" after the opening game, it would make people feel that Liverpool is afraid of Real Madrid, then this is a big mistake!

Benitez naturally has his own wishful thinking, as well as his tactical assumptions.

To beat Real Madrid, it will naturally take more effort.

What Liverpool want to catch is actually a counterattack!

After Real Madrid's attack group pushed the offense to a dangerous zone, Liverpool needed to judge whether to launch a violent offensive based on the situation on the field at the time.

This time, after Qin Xiong's header failed and the football landed at Carragher's feet, the first reaction of all Liverpool players in the frontcourt was to observe!

Raul, Qin Xiong, Sneijder, Robben, Guti!

Real Madrid have five players still in Liverpool's defensive danger zone.

In other words, at this time, there are only 5 players in the extremely vast space of Real Madrid's midfield!

The generals of Liverpool know that this situation will not last for too long. Maybe in another 5 seconds, Guti will return to the midfielder position, Sneijder and Robben will also withdraw, and Qin Xiong is already in the middle. ran away.

This is their fleeting offensive opportunity!

It must be grasped and cannot be missed!

Benayoun, Dirk, Gerrard, and Torres all began to move forward one after another.

Carragher passed the ball to the feet of the Liverpool midfield commander.

Alonso looked up at the frontcourt, about to make an offensive organization plan! (To be continued.)
