They reversed Barcelona led by Messi at home, so you think the outcome of this game is Where will the key be reflected?" Zhan Jun asked with a smile in the live broadcast room.

Uh, hey! Cheerful Zhang Lu squinted her eyes, "Because these two teams are characterized by, uh, high-speed running, fast offense, and frenzied pressing in the midfield. I think this It should be a very intense battle. "

"So physical fitness is a key factor in this game. It depends on who can outrun the other. It is estimated that it will be a spark-splashing attack."

"Yes!" Zhan Jun nodded. "In this regard, the younger Liverpool will have some advantages. Liverpool has adopted rotation in the last two rounds, and many players have been fully rested."

While the two were talking, the starting lineups of both sides appeared on the live broadcast screen.

At 4:45 p.m. local time in England, the game officially started with a whistle from German referee Brich.

Roma, who took the lead at the beginning of the game, showed their strong offensive ability.

At 1 minute and 30 seconds into the game, Roma launched an offensive from the right and drew Liverpool's defensive focus to the side. After taking the ball, De Rossi crossed the center line and quickly made a diagonal pass to the center before Mo Yang and Mane closed the goal. .

In the middle, Dzeko in front of Lovren retreated to catch the ball. Seeing Wijnaldum rushing towards him, he turned around while catching the ball, facing the left, and stuck Wijnaldum behind him.

At the same time, Roma left winger Kolarov came up.

Dzeko was so entangled by Wijnaldum that he couldn't turn around, so he had to give the ball to Kolarov, and then turned and advanced.

After dribbling the ball close to the penalty area, facing Arnold's marking on the inside, Kolarov stopped, made a false pass, shook Arnold and followed suit, and then immediately made a second kick.

Suddenly, a half-high ball flew into Liverpool's penalty area from the ribs at an angle of 45 degrees.

Lovren felt that he was being targeted again today, because Dzeko and Nainggolan stood in front of him like goalkeepers on the left and right, looking like they were going to join forces to get him.

Seeing the ball coming, Nainggolan immediately took a big step forward, just on the spot.

Lovren knew what the two wanted at a glance. He wasn't fooled, so he just stood there and stood in front of Dzeko.

In the next second, sure enough, the ball was sideways by Nainggolan, bounced off the ground, and fell towards Dzeko's feet.

Dzeko raised his foot and stopped the ball directly, but when he turned around to hit the goal, a huge force suddenly came from his back.

Van Dijk directly blocked him from behind, while Lovren moved forward a few steps and turned to face Dzeko. Not only was he stuck in front of Nainggolan, but he also cut off Dzeko's pass to Nainggolan. ball line.

Dzeko was staggered by Van Dijk, the ball was not protected, and he was stabbed in front of him. In desperation, he had to pass the ball from the top of the arc and return it to Strowman in the middle.

Before and after the top of the arc, Strowman shot directly at the ball.

Mo Yang in the top of the arc directly fell to the ground and shoveled, and Fabinho also jumped up. The two of them had an extremely tacit understanding, one for air defense and the other for ground slashing.

But Strowman's half-high shot slipped through the crowd and went straight to the left post.

Alisson chose the correct position in front of the goal and directly held the ball firmly in his arms.

"Wow!"

The Red Army fans on all sides of the stands were in an uproar, and then there was warm applause.

On the sidelines, seeing the team's successful defense this time, Klopp grinned and was very satisfied. He saw the tacit understanding between Van Dijk and Lovren.

"In less than 2 minutes, Roma completed a shot on target. This is their strong offensive ability."

"Yes! Uh, Dzeko is a player. His role as a fulcrum in the penalty area is very obvious. Uh, he is tall and strong, and ordinary defensive players really can't help him, and his ability to play the ball is also very good. powerful."

While Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were talking, Liverpool's offensive came on the field.

At 2 minutes and 21 seconds of the game, Roma left wingback Kolarov dribbled the ball from his own backcourt and came to the center line to face Wijnaldum and Firmino's successive presses. He dribbled the ball all the way to By the middle.

After crossing the center line, Kolarov fell directly into Liverpool's center circle pressing trap, and he could no longer pass the ball.

Firmino stared at him from behind, Moyang on the right rushed over, Wijnaldum on the left was slowly approaching, and a triangular cage directly locked him up.

In the next second, Kolarov, who was approached by Mo Yang, was directly hit by Mo Yang and lost his center of gravity, and the ball was also stabbed away by Mo Yang.

After getting the ball, Mo Yang leaned directly to the right. Seeing that Salah ran behind Roma's left central defender Juan Jr., and was in a parallel position with Manolas in the middle, Mo Yang directly kicked up without any hesitation. stuffed.

After Salah took the ball, he started to speed up directly, slowed down after reaching the right side of the penalty area, and took a charming small step, and then suddenly made a realistic fake, tricking Juan's center of gravity to shift to the bottom line, and he left Move the ball quickly to the left with the foot, and cut inward along the penalty area line to the top of the arc.

But without taking a few steps, Little Juan turned around and came back.

Salah took a few steps in the upper left corner of Rome's penalty area. Without too much hesitation, he kicked his foot and shot the far corner.

But under the interference of little Juan's small movements, he lost his balance at the moment of shooting.As a result, the angle of the ball did not come out.

On the goal line of the small penalty area in Rome, Szczesny knelt down and confiscated the ball.

"Salah's shot!"

"It hit the middle! It's a pity, it's too straight, and the arc didn't come out."

"In less than 3 minutes, the two sides each completed a threatening shot. Sure enough, just as Director Zhang predicted before the game, this is indeed a wide-ranging confrontation."

On the sidelines, Klopp looked calm. He is very satisfied with the current performance of the team.

In this game, he does not intend to fight Roma in the midfield.

Klopp watched the game where Rome reversed Barcelona, ​​tsk tsk, Barcelona, ​​which has a strong ability to pass and control, was robbed in the midfield. It was terrible.

So his explanation to Mo Yang was to make a long pass when he had the opportunity at the beginning of the game, and use the speed of Salah and Mane to test Roma's back.

Rome's three central defender system, the gap behind the two wingers is a natural formation defect.

Di Francesco, who was also wearing glasses beside Klopp, looked a little stern.

In this game, he put the focus of offense and defense on the left side, which can not only limit Salah, but also attack from Liverpool's relatively weak side.

But Mo Yang's sudden change of position, connecting with Salah, and a through pass pierced their backcourt defense, which really worried him a little.
