football dynasty

Before the start of the game, players from both sides came out of the player tunnel, exchanged team flags, took pictures of the whole team, shook hands and so on.

The commentator also took advantage of this time to introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the fans.

Napoli's starting lineup has not changed a bit from the last game against Liverpool.

The goalkeeper is still De Santis.

The defenders still send three defenders to defend, Campagnaro, Paul Cannavaro, and Aronika will start.

Midfielder: Maggio, Inle, Gargano, and Zuniga will be in the center, Hamsik and Lavezzi will be forward and separate from the two wings. On the forward line, Cavani will be forward alone.

Due to the tight schedule, Liverpool made a lot of rotations.

The goalkeeper is still Neuer.

But Levy made adjustments on the defensive line. Stefan Lichtsteiner, who started in the last round of the game, sat on the bench, and Flanagan, a young player from youth training, started.Gary Cahill partnered with Benatia at the central defender position. After a period of running-in, the two have slowly demonstrated a strong defensive dominance.The left back is Felipe Luis who was rested in the last round against Everton.

Stefan Lichtsteiner was already on the bench, and Levi didn't dare to let Felipe Luis sit on the bench.In Li Wei's tactics, the task of the full-back is very heavy. If it is not a physical problem, Li Wei would like to let Stefan Lichtsteiner also start, instead of helplessly equipped with a set of half-backs at the full-back position. main lineup.

In midfield, Pirlo continued to start, and Gerrard also returned to the starting position.Hazard protrudes forward and acts as a midfielder, but he is actually a free player in the frontcourt and can move to the left or right.

Bell, Lewandowski and Neymar will start the striker.

Suarez was placed on the bench by Levi.

…………

As soon as the game started, Liverpool's opportunity came.

Naples exposed the weakness of being a new Champions League team-poor psychological quality.

Some teams that often compete in the Champions League already have a familiar set of away pressure methods.

Naples is not the case. Although they were once a great team, in fact Naples didn't even play in Serie A for long.

In 2004, Naples even suffered bankruptcy and restarted from the Italian C League. It was not until 2007 that Naples returned to Serie A.

Although the re-upgraded Naples performed well, it was not until last season that they qualified for the Champions League by virtue of their third place in the league. In other words, this is the first time they have participated in the Champions League after the club went bankrupt.

Most of Naples' current players have no experience in the Champions League.

So when they were in the fiery atmosphere of the Anfield Stadium, the Naples players felt tremendous pressure, and they couldn't help but get nervous about some simple passes and receptions.

Li Wei did not expect that Naples would send such a big gift just after the game started.But he is worthy of being a champion coach, he made decisive adjustments, and the full-backs resolutely went up to assist!

Naples' strength is based on a strong midfield dominance, and they have a full six players in the midfield.

But this also means that Naples must weaken the staffing of other positions. There is only Cavani on the front line, and there are only three central defenders on the back line, and there are no full-backs.

If it was just Liverpool's two wingers attacking, Naples' defense could still withstand it, but when both Liverpool's full-backs went up to assist, Naples' wing defense immediately had problems!

…………

In the 3rd minute, Flanagan inserted Lewandowski along the wing at high speed and saw Flanagan's running position. He also decisively moved closer to the right. Coupled with the original right winger Bell, all of a sudden Liverpool piled up three players on the right.

Naples' defensive player is Zuniga. He is a Colombian international and originally played as a left back, but because of Naples' formation requirements, he was promoted to midfield, which also put more pressure on his defense.

Midfielder Inle saw the crisis of his teammates and immediately ran over to help defend.

Bell saw Inle running, he didn't choose to be reckless, he passed the ball back to Flanagan and continued to advance.

The teenager Flanagan understood Bell's meaning. He didn't go up to get the ball and dribble. Instead, after adjusting his pace, he slapped the ball and the ball flew straight behind Zuniga, allowing Bell and Zuniga to compete for landing.

Zuniga knew it was not good when he saw Bell go forward, so he turned around and ran.

He started off behind Bale, but by the time the ball hit the ground, Zuniga had been overtaken by the supercar-like Bale.

Zuniga saw Bell take the ball and immediately cut inside. He knew Bell's strength and felt like reaching out for Label's jersey to prevent Bell from running.

Seeing that he couldn't increase his speed, Bell fell to the ground decisively. Anyway, if you dare to pull, I will dare to fall.

The German referee Felix Brusch, who enforced the game, saw it clearly. He decisively blew his whistle, gave Zuniga a verbal warning, and gave Liverpool a free kick near the touchline.

Regardless of the fact that Naples played a three-back in this game, they are not an offensive tactic, but a conservative defensive counterattack.

It is not easy for Liverpool to break through Naples' gate in a sports game, and at this time, more attention is paid to set kicks.

This set kick is not easy to shoot, so although Gerrard is the No.1 set kick in the team, the Italian midfielder Pirlo is standing in front of the free kick.

Liverpool's central defenders Gary Cahill and Benatia have also reached Naples' penalty area. In terms of headers, they can even be said to be better than striker Lewandowski.

After all, the striker failed nine times out of ten headers, as long as he succeeds once, he is a hero.And if the central defender succeeds nine out of ten headers and fails once, then he is a sinner.

Pirlo looks a little skinny, but his passing quality is quite high, both in strength and arc. He sent the football to Naples' penalty area and found Gary Cahill.

However, Naples is an Italian team, and Italian teams are not only good defensively.Therefore, although the quality of the football is high, it cannot support Naples' central defender's positioning. The football was destroyed by Paul Cannavaro's header.

It is worth mentioning that his elder brother Fabio Cannavaro is a well-known small central defender, but Paul Cannavaro is not short, he has a height of 1.8 meters [-] and a weight of [-] kg. Weight, in the restricted area is an out-and-out strong man.

Paul Cannavaro destroyed the football into the penalty area. Because it was a destruction, he naturally didn't look at the position of his teammates. The football fell directly to the feet of the late full-back Felipe Luis.

But Naples' counterattack was also very timely. With Macho in the front and Cavani in the back, Felipe Luis didn't dare to pass the ball forward.

The two central defenders ran into Naples' penalty area in the set kick just now. If the forward pass is intercepted by a Naples player, the team will be in danger.

Therefore, he focused on stability and passed the football back to goalkeeper Neuer behind him.

Neuer was very bold, he stood outside the penalty area.

When the commentator saw the football passed to Neuer, they were very surprised. "Filipe Luiz returns the ball... Neuer? When did Liverpool's goalkeeper Neuer come here? He's so brave!"

However, Naples was very determined to press and did not interrupt the press because they failed to break the football at the feet of Felipe Luis.

On the contrary, the Naples players who were squeezed into the penalty area before are now rushing towards the Liverpool penalty area from all directions like a flood. Some players intercepted Neuer's passing point, and some players rushed towards Neuer.

Now Neuer is in an area more than 30 meters in front of the goal, and he cannot hold the ball with his hands at all.And if Naples' counter-robbery can be successful, it will be an empty goal!
