945 Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat?

Situ Yunbing stood in front of the VIP box in Calderon Stadium overlooking the stadium. He temporarily put down his longing for mother and son at home and carefully examined the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

It is not easy for Liverpool to face Atletico Madrid with a complete lineup today, thanks to Eriksen's return from injury.

The Red Army still lined up a 433 formation today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Arnold, Van Dijk, Benatia, Robertson.

Midfielder: Henderson, Erikson, Casemiro.

Forwards: Mbappe, Lewandowski, Gareth Bale.

Atletico Madrid also set up a 433 formation of three forwards in order to qualify.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Savage, Felipe Louis.

Midfielder: Gabi, Saul, Cork.

Forwards: Griezmann, Kevin Garmero, Chelch.

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Although Liverpool played 433, because there was no room for adjustment for a replacement today, and coach Situ Yunbing was not on the sidelines, Liverpool adopted a defensive counterattack tactic on the away game!

The overall formation has a clear retreat amplitude, guarding the key areas of the midfield and backcourt, waiting for Atletico Madrid to attack.

Atletico Madrid is familiar with defensive counterattacks, but it seems that it is more willing but not enough to attack.

Galmero and Cerci are not always the main players under Simone, so their performance is very limited, mainly because their form has been suppressed by Liverpool!

Liverpool has been defending closely since the beginning of the game, so Chelc and Galmero had no room to control the ball when they met in the frontcourt, and after being intercepted several times in a row, their confidence began to shake!

Simeone shouted on the sidelines, always keeping Atletico Madrid at a fast pace, but the forward line performed poorly, or in the face of Liverpool's tight defense line, Atletico Madrid has no hard power to penetrate their defense line!

The creativity of the midfield organization is not top. In addition to Griezmann, the forward line can also make personal breakthroughs and create sporadic opportunities. The other two forwards are not the roles that can carry the banner in this level competition.

Situ Yunbing stroked the floor-to-ceiling window of the box and looked indifferent. Atletico Madrid fought hard to fight against Liverpool, and it would not be easy to win a goal-winning victory of two goals. They needed a miracle!

In fact, Simeone also knows this very well, otherwise the first round would not have become like that!

Situ Yunbing is about to let the whole world see clearly today, and Liverpool will present a textbook-style defensive counterattack!

Van Dijk and Benatia's defense are airtight, and Atletico Madrid can only rely on midfield to support the frontcourt offense to try to break the Reds' defense barrier.

As a result, this caused hidden dangers to their defense line.

In the 25th minute of the game, Mbappe dribbled the ball from the right and made a breakthrough. In the rapid advance, Gareth Bale and Lewandowski crossed the position. Lewandowski stepped forward and entered the left rib of the penalty area. Godin was led to the middle by Gareth Bale. Mbappe made a cross and hurried into the left rib of the penalty area.

Lewandowski directly shot with a volley!

At the critical moment, Oblak jumped into a single hand to save the ball!

It's a wonderful world-class save!

Although Atletico Madrid escaped, the defense issues cannot be ignored.

Such dangers are never a matter of personnel or performance, but are caused by the match position combined with tactical confrontation.

It is not enough for Atletico Madrid to rely solely on tridents to score. Midfield support will force them to give Liverpool full space to play their speed advantage. As long as Liverpool's counterattack starts, even if Atletico Madrid has more players retreating, it will not be able to completely limit Liverpool's trident!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Lewandowski knocked the ball back to Eriksen in front of the penalty area. The latter changed the ball and got rid of the press from Cork, and then made a straight pass from the counter-tangent line to the ground.

Gareth Bale quickly cut in and made a quick shot without adjusting!

The football flew out of the bottom line against the outside of the right goal post!

Liverpool fans suddenly sighed to the sky, and Simeone was furious on the sidelines, believing that the team's defense was not tough enough!

It should be done with Liverpool as soon as possible!

No matter how much regret Monitz showed on the sidelines, Situ Yunbing stood in the private room and looked unrestrained.

There was no sign of a crisis that made him feel nervous in the game.

Some Atletico Madrid supporters criticized Situ Yunbing on social media, saying that it was completely unreasonable for him to criticize Atletico Madrid and Simeone for nothing, especially when he was labeled a big hat and made no contribution to the development of football.

Situ Yunbing doesn't want to prove anything, but if he wants, he can build Liverpool into a team that makes European giants desperate.

The defensive counterattack is enough to keep Liverpool invincible.

But this is only a short-term success, because whether it is referring to the experience of many teams in the past or his understanding and understanding of football, it is impossible for him to stick to a stereotyped and conservative style of playing for a long time.

Arsenal, who had left all opponents helpless in the British arena nearly 30 years ago, was because the team's tactics were too negative. Although they had a championship, the entire team quickly became depressed and drunk all day long. The legendary captain Tony Adams lost interest in football, and the team quickly fell into decline. If Wenger had not arrived, Arsenal would have been revived again.

Situ Yunbing’s own work can also make him feel that football needs more creativity and vitality. Too utilitarian, not to mention players, even he will lose passion for work. This is a spiritual loss of motivation and even fatal!

After nearly five years of training, Liverpool is good at playing many styles, naturally including defensive counterattacks, but they no longer use this style of play as their usual style of play.

It is also because switching the style of play at any time that will keep the entire team energetic and focused, because if anyone is relaxed or distracted, he may not be able to keep up with the rhythm of his teammates, which has formed a virtuous cycle in the team.

Atletico Madrid fans in the stands were actively cheering for the team at Calderon Stadium.

But when Celchi and Gamero were intercepted again and again and Griezmann was unable to support it, they could not hide their disappointment.

In the 42nd minute of the game, when Gareth Bale dribbled in the left side of the frontcourt and broke through Juan Fran, he passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Lewandowski touched the ball and threw the ball to the left side of the penalty area. His turn and breakthrough caught Godin off guard, and the next step stretched his legs directly hit Lewandowski's thigh!

Lewandowski moved forward and had one leg stepped into the penalty area, but he staggered. After finally stabilizing the center of gravity of his body, he reached out to touch the back of his right thigh, and was obviously injured!

The referee blew a whistle to indicate that Godin made a foul, and pointed his finger outside the penalty area line.

"Oh no! Lewandowski is injured!

Godin hit him hard, Liverpool suffered heavy blows!

If even Lewandowski fell, they would be almost impossible to get a starting lineup!"

The camera was aimed at Situ Yunbing in the box, and his face remained calm.

It’s useless to deal with such a problem!

Only soldiers can block the water and soil.

Vardy appeared to replace the injured Lewandowski.

If there are any wounded people, Liverpool will really have to transfer troops from the reserve team to form a lineup!

Gareth Bale took the direct free kick and flew into the stands over the crossbar.

The first half ended soon, and the score was still 0:0.

Time is very unfavorable to Atletico Madrid, and the same is true in the situation.

Once Liverpool scores a goal, Atletico Madrid will have to score 4 goals at home to eliminate Liverpool!

During the intermission, Situ Yunbing sat in the box and sent a message to Siglid. Siglid was watching the live broadcast of the game in the hospital, and the child had already taken medicine and fell asleep.

When Situ Yunbing learned that Situ Jin did not have a fever again at night, he felt a little relieved.

Then he thought about what adjustments Simeone would make in the midfield.

It's only 45 minutes, and Simeone can actually not have many choices.

It's just a matter of breaking the boat.

It only depends on whether luck will stand on Atletico Madrid's side. If they win, it may indeed put Liverpool in an embarrassing situation, or completely lose its advantage!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Atletico Madrid fans ended their entertainment during the break: insulting Situ Yunbing.

Everyone's focus is on the game again.

After 5 minutes of lukewarmness, Atletico Madrid indeed launched a crazy attack, with two full-backs standing in front to provide support to the frontcourt. At the same time, Saul, Cork and Gabi in the midfield took turns to form a layered contact and forward insertion.

Griezmann cut inside and found opportunities after supporting the wing.

The pressure on Liverpool's defense line has increased greatly, especially Arnold's defense. Even with Henderson's support, it is a bit embarrassing.

In the 56th minute of the game, after two consecutive attacks, Atletico Madrid made a threat with continuous crosses on the left. When Luis sent the cross again, Benatia's header from the back of the penalty area failed to reach the far side!

Erikson wanted to head the ball for a second time at the front of the penalty area, but Gabi beat Erikson to fight for the football landing point, and he pushed the ball into the right rib of the penalty area.

Benatian, who had just headed the ball but was not as good as the one who was watching him watch Griezmann stop the ball from his chest and cut across the crossbar, then quickly took a kick!

Van Dijk was already in place, but his legs were stretched out and he could only barely touch the ball!

If Van Dijk didn't touch it, Griezmann's shot might be saved by Ter Stegen, but after Van Dijk touched it, the football changed direction, drew a strange parabola and fell into the upper right corner of the Liverpool goal!

Ter Stegen can only sigh at the ball!
Chapter completed!
