Chapter 511
"Welcome to watch the 2018-19 UEFA Super Cup. In this game, the Champions League winner Liverpool will face the Europa League champion Atletico Madrid. We will wait and see who is the king of Europe!"

Following Zhan Jun's opening remarks, the official starting lineups of both sides began to appear on the broadcast screen.

Liverpool: (433)

Goalkeeper: Alisson
Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson

Midfielders: Mo Yang, Fabinho, Wijnaldum
Forwards: Salah, Ibrahimovic, Mane
"In this game, Klopp sent Ibrahimovic in the center position. The intention is obvious!" Zhan Jun smiled when he saw Liverpool's formation.

Zhang Lu, who was wearing a red suit next to her, nodded, blinked, and said with a smile: "Simeone's team often gives up the ball in the game. The soul of his tactical system is the high-pressure and fast defensive counterattack tactics."

"Klopp obviously knows what kind of situation they will encounter in this game. There is a high probability that it will be a tough battle, so he let Ibrahimovic start, just to set up a strong fulcrum in Atletico Madrid's big penalty area. Let Liverpool find another line of attack when the ground penetration is difficult to break through Atletico Madrid's dense defense!"

Hearing Zhang Lu's analysis, Zhan Jun nodded, "Yes, Atletico Madrid claims to have an iron-blooded line of defense in Europe, and this iron-blooded line of defense has caused Messi, Ronaldo, Bell and others to be smashed countless times. .”

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, Atletico Madrid's starting lineup appeared.

Atletico Madrid: (442)

Forwards: Griezmann, Costa

Midfield: Cork, Rodri, Saul, Lemar

Defenders: Hernandez, Godin, Savage, Forlan
Goalkeeper: Oblak

"Sure enough, it's Atletico Marco Simeone who played the 442 formation superbly!" Zhan Jun looked as expected.

"Yes, Simeone, who played as a defensive midfielder during his player period, has a very thorough understanding of the 442 formation."

"The 442 formation has been formed for a long time. Now many teams use it for defensive counterattacks. The common formation changes are divided into parallel positions and diamond positions. It is the difference in midfield functions."

"Atletico Madrid's 442 is a parallel position. Most of the duties of the midfielders are to intercept and counterattack in the midfield. Using the width of the court and the running space, the two full-backs will also quickly move forward to make crosses to create threats."

"In addition, Simeone's 442 also includes many things, such as local high pressure, space cutting, has a very strong adaptability, and can flexibly evolve according to the situation on the field."

On the field, under the whistle of the Dutch referee Danny Markli, the Super Cup, which represents the opening match of the new season of the UEFA Champions League, officially started at the Kollekula Stadium in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia.

This stadium is very small. If it is not for the temporary expansion of the organizer, this stadium can only accommodate up to 10000 fans.

In this game, whether it was Atletico Madrid or Liverpool, both sides only got 1400 tickets, so most of them were neutral fans.

"Wow!!!!!!"

"Ho!!!!!!!!!"

Surrounding the stands, some late fans had just entered the arena at this time, and before they even had time to sit down in their seats, they suddenly heard goosebumps coming from around them.

"watt??!!!"

"A goal???!!"

"magical!!!!!!"

"Fake!!"

"damn!!! Can anyone tell me what happened?"

"..."

Atletico Madrid fans reveled, Liverpool fans looked dumbfounded, and neutral fans kept exclaiming, all three parties were extremely shocked.

At this moment, the live big screen played back.

After the kick-off of the game, Atletico Madrid centre-back Godin received a pass back from Griezmann and directly kicked a long pass to look for the prosperous and beautiful striker Diego Costa who was on top of Liverpool's defense in the middle of the frontcourt.

In the front right area near the top of the arc, Costa was in place ahead of time, looking up and waiting for the ball to drop.

But just as he was about to stop the ball with his chest, his vision was suddenly covered by a black shadow.

Immediately afterwards, Costa glared angrily, and wanted to use his body to push Mo Yang forward from the landing point, but after exerting strength in his waist and abdomen, his face turned red, and Mo Yang was as motionless as a mountain.

At this moment, Costa understood that the monster midfielder that the European media said was indeed a monster, and his core strength was stronger than his striker.

So Costa could only watch helplessly as Mo Yang pushed the ball back to the center circle with his forehead under his nose.

In the middle of Liverpool's half, Ibrahimovic retreated to the point, ready to receive Mo Yang's head pass.

But as soon as he was in place, the two defenders of Atletico Madrid approached from left to right like goalkeepers, and directly sandwiched Ibrahimovic in the middle.

Under the defense of Atletico Madrid's 191CM midfielder Rodri and 186CM central defender Savage, the ball was rubbed back to Atletico Madrid's backcourt by Rodri in front of Ibrahimovic.

At the same time, outside the arc of the middle circle on the left, Mane started to speed up and continued to chase the ball.

But Godin, who was behind in the middle, had a shorter distance. He seized his position early and stuck Mane behind him, and quickly passed the ball back to goalkeeper Oblak.

On Liverpool's side, Mane pressed Oblak and found that the ball was passed back to Godin in the middle, and he quickly returned the same way.

Atletico Madrid took the ball again, and Liverpool's formation retreated. They didn't have the aggressive posture in the game against West Ham United at all.

In the right half of the middle circle arc, Godin, who was holding the ball, after five or six seconds of observation, suddenly made another long pass, looking for Costa.

On the right side of the front court, Costa was stuck in front of Van Dijk.

Fabinho retreated from the middle, and after seeing this scene, he quickly approached.

Just then, the ball fell!

This time Costa learned the lesson. Instead of giving Fabinho and Van Dijk a chance to pinch him, he suddenly jumped backward facing the ball.

This backward jump not only made it impossible for Van Dijk to take off, but also made everyone bent over.

Under the eyes of everyone, it is not known whether Costa was intentional or unintentional. The ball was rubbed by him and flew directly towards the corner of the penalty area behind Van Dijk.

At the same time, Costa, who landed on the ground, turned to the left. Seeing that Van Dijk also completed the turn and was about to chase the ball, he immediately started to speed up.

The gap between the acceleration ability of the striker and the central defender is also highlighted at this time.

Although Van Dijk is very fast among the central defenders, it is when he has a long distance to sprint to speed up, not the ability to start in just one or two seconds in the current competition.

But Van Dijk has rich defensive experience and knows what to do at this time.

However, just as he was about to move laterally to the right and get Costa stuck behind him, Costa turned around and grabbed his right arm with his left hand.

This not only slowed down Van Dijk, but also allowed Costa to rush up, leading Van Dijk by half a body.

Fortunately, Matip in the middle reacted quickly enough, went straight to the ball entering the penalty area, and successfully blocked the position, preventing Costa from getting the ball.

Van Dijk saw Matip biting Costa, he ran inside and handed Costa to Matip.

But at this moment, after Costa found that the inside cut was hopeless, he came to the landing point and directly rubbed the ball that bounced off the ground with his head, and went directly to the bottom.

Van Dijk, who came to the sideline of the small penalty area, was ready to block Costa's cross, as did Matip.

But in the next second, there was a bang, which was beyond the expectations of Van Dyke and Matip!

Costa actually chose to shoot directly!

In front of the right post of the small penalty area, Alisson was also stunned. He did not expect Costa to shoot from such a zero-degree angle in front of the baseline.

The ball whized past the left shoulder of Alisson, who was kneeling on one knee, and then hit the outside of the near goal post with a bang, then changed direction slightly, then crossed the goal line directly, and hit the other side hard. side online.

"Convinced! Shengshi Meiyan's shot is completely a mystery!"

"Atletico Madrid is so lucky!"

"In the 51st second of the opening, it's a dream start!"

"Beast Front Costa, well-deserved reputation!"

"..."

In the pp sports live broadcast room, countless domestic fans were stunned.

Many people looked away for a moment, and then found that the ball had been scored.
