Chapter 370 Goals Are That Simple

"Judging from the opening period, Roma did not play conservatively because of the away game. On the contrary, they showed a strong impact on the scene."

"It seems that the head coach of Rome, Di Francesco, continued the tactical concept of the second round against Barcelona in the quarter-finals, trying to limit Liverpool's offensive through high-position pressing and high-position defense."

"On the other hand, Liverpool's overall performance is very calm. Judging from the past few minutes, Liverpool seems to be deliberately letting Roma press forward. Their pressing intensity is not very high. Klopp should still be in the testing stage. The tactical intent hasn’t come out.”

Liverpool and Roma played upside down on the field, and the attacking rhythm was so fast that it was dizzying. Roma attacked very fiercely, and Liverpool also caught the opportunity to counterattack in Roma's attack from time to time, which made Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun talk constantly. The two chatted enthusiastically.

In the 7th minute of the game, Rome kicked the goal kick and went directly to Kolarov on the left.

Mo Yang didn't know when he switched positions with Wijnaldum again and came to the left.

Seeing the ball flying over, Mo Yang, who was a little far away, rushed over anyway.

Kolarov didn't dare to stop the ball and get entangled with Moyang. He directly sent the header to Dzeko who was pulled to the side.

Behind Dzeko stood Lovren and Arnold on the left and right. He couldn't turn around. He was about to catch the ball and stop it with his chest, but Fabinho suddenly rushed out in front of him, jumped up and threw his head back to the stranger. Positive.

Seeing Mo Yang catch the ball, Kolarov immediately stepped up from behind Mo Yang.

Strowman also rushed towards Moyang from the middle, and the two teamed up to lock Moyang to the side.

However, Mo Yang had no intention of getting entangled with them at all.

Moyang blocked Kolarov firmly behind him, without even looking back to see where Salah was, and moved forward with his left foot to meet the incoming ball.

Suddenly the ball rolled to Salah.

Seeing the ball coming, Juan and Salah got entangled directly, and he wanted to squeeze in front of Salah.

Although Salah looked a little thin, his physical resistance ability was not bad. His knees were almost bent at ninety degrees, and he leaned against the strong little Juan as a wall, and he insisted on not letting the opponent squeeze in front of him.

When the ball fell, he got up instantly, rubbed the ball directly to the right with his left foot, then took advantage of the situation to complete the turn, and rushed towards Manolas with the ball horizontally.

Seeing that Little Juan was not staring at Salah, Manolas, whose attention was completely attracted, immediately moved forward a few steps, intending to wait for Salah to bump into him, but he didn't know that the steps he moved were exactly Salah wants it.

Behind Manolas, Firmino has already drilled into the huge space between him and Fazio.

Salah saw Firmino's clever movement, and he immediately kicked up and slanted straight to the right rib position.

Firmino got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, but Firmino, who is usually very decisive, hesitated for some reason at this time.

Then he was forced to the sideline of the small penalty area, and the shooting angle was almost blocked.

At this time, Rome's three central defenders also returned to the small penalty area in time to line up in a straight line, directly blocking his way to find Mane.

In desperation, Firmino could only stare at the far post and push hard.

Unfortunately, the ball slipped past the goal.

"fool!!!!"

There was a short exclamation from the stands all around Anfield.

"Firmino seems to be a little hesitant about the ball. If he kicks the ball directly to the far corner the moment he catches the ball, he may still have a chance." Zhan Jun was full of regret.

"Salah's shot is really beautiful!" Zhang Lu grinned, "Moyang also played beautifully, which is his role in the midfield. Once an attack is launched, it will often form the last shot, which is very magical. "

"Have you noticed that Mo Yang has switched positions to the right half, this is because he discovered that Roma's offensive center of gravity is on the weaker side, so he directly switched positions with Wijnaldum. "

"Although Wijnaldum can attack and defend well, his body and height have no advantage under Rome's giant tactics."

On the sidelines, Klopp applauded silently, and then he walked directly back to the coaching bench.

After testing and observing during the opening stage, Klopp has already determined Rome's tactical play for this game.

Still like the second round against Barcelona, ​​the tactical strategy of high pressure and high defense is adopted.

Sitting on the coach's bench, Klopp, who had nothing to worry about, glanced at Di Francesco in the coaching area on the sidelines, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Di Francesco frowned at this time. He also likes to play high-position pressing offensive tactics, and he knows the power of Liverpool's overall pressing offensive system.

Before the game, he knew very well that if he pursued a tactic of transitioning from the midfield to the front and then attacking in the game, they would be very easy to be counterattacked in the face of Liverpool's seamless and tacit pressing.

So in this game, he put the focus of attack on Liverpool's obviously weaker right. At the same time, he also adopted the strategy of skipping the midfield directly from the backcourt and directly looking for strikers with long passes.

In this game, he arranged for Dzeko to take the initiative to pull to the left to face Arnold in order to take advantage of Dzeko's body and height.

In this way, when Dzeko faces Arnold and Wijnaldum on the left, it will definitely be easier to handle long passes.

At the same time, their dense positions on the left can also prevent Liverpool from launching a direct pass to Salah on the right to counterattack to a certain extent, and can achieve two tactical purposes at the same time.

But from the current point of view, the effect of this strategy has not met his expectations.

After taking the ball in the frontcourt, Dzeko did follow his instructions and immediately took the initiative to look for opportunities to get the ball to the right.

But so far, neither Yundale, Nainggolan, nor Florenzi have been able to find opportunities behind Liverpool.

And his three central defenders also exposed a huge gap under the attack of Liverpool's trident.

Compared with Barcelona, ​​Liverpool's trident often stretched his three central defenders horizontally, causing too much space between the three central defenders.

It was for this reason that Firmino nearly broke the goal just now.At this time, Di Francesco began to feel a little uneasy.

On the field, as time went by, the rhythm of Liverpool and Roma's confrontation became faster and faster, approaching white-hot.

For countless fans, this is really a high-level confrontational battle. Both sides continue to take the ball, skipping the midfield to find the space behind the opponent to attack the goal. It is completely a high-altitude confrontation.

But when the game came to No. 205 minutes, many fans who were more sensitive to tactics suddenly found that with the continuous pressure of Rome's overall formation, Liverpool's pressing intensity seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

They were often pressed and conceded in the middle of the attack and then kicked in the back.

In the 30th minute of the game, Roma once again launched an offensive from the left.

Kolarov received the ball from De Rossi's right side and moved the ball laterally. Before Arnold was in place, he quickly kicked the ball at 45 degrees and passed the ball into the penalty area again.

Lovren lived up to Klopp's trust. In this game, he showed the demeanor that a veteran should have. He chose his position accurately. Standing in front of Dzeko, he directly threw the ball out of the penalty area with his head.

The left position at the top of the arc, Strowman and Wijnaldum pushed each other to compete for the top.

Strowman, who is 186, took advantage of his height to hit the ball, but was disturbed by Wijnaldum, he couldn't find the right direction, and directly hit Moyang at the front of the arc.

Seeing that Mo Yang was about to catch the ball, De Rossi didn't immediately stick to him to fight for the second spot, but got stuck in front of Mo Yang, strangled Mo Yang's pass to Firmino.

Seeing that De Rossi was not fooled, Mo Yang directly stopped the ball.

A miraculous scene came, I saw that the falling ball didn't rebound at all, as if it was directly stuck to Moyang's left shoulder, which stunned De Rossi and cursed a 'monster' in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Yang carried the ball on his shoulder and ran two steps towards the wing. When Mane, who was on the wing, ran to the back of Fazio, the ball on his shoulder suddenly fell to his left foot. Before the ball had time As soon as he touched the ground, he was pulled out by his left foot, and the whole process was as smooth as mercury pouring down the ground.

"Beautiful! Yang's long pass over the top!!!"

"A chance to counterattack!!!" The commentator Seibergerin stood up excitedly.

Seeing the ball being passed seven or eight meters in front of him, Mane's two pairs of scud legs strode fast, and in an instant he was on par with Fazio who was chasing back to death.

Seeing that Mane was about to surpass him, Fazio hurriedly grabbed Mane's jersey.

The referee Brich was about to blow the whistle, but saw Mane break free again suddenly.

In front of the right side of the Roman penalty area, Mane successfully joined the ball, and Fazio has been thrown off by him.

Seeing that Manolas on the right was firmly attached to Salah's side and his position was stuck, Mane strangled the idea of ​​crossing, and kicked directly after entering the penalty area.

Roma goalkeeper Szczesny lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands slightly, and kept moving laterally to adjust his position on the small penalty area line.

Seeing the goalkeeper coming out, Mane leaned directly to the right, and made a pushing motion with his left foot.

Szczesny was deceived by Mane's realistic movements, and his center of gravity immediately tilted to the left.

As a result, in the next second, Mane picked up the ball directly.

The ball fluttered across the goal line and into the Roma goal.

"goal!!!!!!!!!"

"Goal!!! It's that simple!!!!!!"

The moment the goal was scored, the stands on all sides of Anfield were ignited, and the terrifying sound seemed to overturn the entire stadium, making the players on the field feel the tremor of the ground.

Klopp rushed out from the coach's bench, and after celebrating with his fists, he turned and faced the stands behind him, waving his hands repeatedly to signal the fans to cheer louder.
