Chapter 95 Welcome ([-])

In the 11th minute, Liu Ting made a strong breakthrough in the middle, stepped on his bicycle and passed Marcheni to pass the ball to Dirk.

Liverpool attacked for more than 10 minutes, and Atletico Madrid also adapted to the game and began to organize a counterattack.

In the 15th minute, Atletico Madrid midfielder Assuncao made a long pass to Diego Forlan in the counterattack. Forlan dribbled the ball past Carragher and hit the goal. Reina reacted quickly and lifted the ball out of the crossbar.

Heynckes is a head coach with a strong learning ability. He has integrated Liverpool's previous high-position pressing in Benitez's period into his tactics. Now Liverpool is high-position pressing in the backcourt, with Liu Ting's fast cooperation in the frontcourt. However, it seems that many Torres will create opportunities when Torres comes back.

The key to the midfield transition is Harvey Alonso. Atletico Madrid is clearly aware of this. Today their defensive tactic is to press Harvey Alonso, curbing Liverpool's midfield operation and reducing the number of opportunities in the frontcourt.

Xavi Alonso has the strongest organizational ability in Liverpool's midfield, and Gerrard also has certain abilities. Mascherano looks like a pure defensive midfielder most of the time, but they forgot that the old horse is here to watch the game today.

The commentator Alan Hansen shouted: "Javier Mascherano!! His midfield steals the ball and goes straight to the long pass!!"

Mascherano intercepted Marcheni in the midfield. In the past, he would pass it to Alonso or Gerrard. Seeing that the two were under strict defense, Xiao Ma directly made a long pass and found Liu Ting accurately.

Liu Ting turned around and dribbled the ball. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gareth Bell aggressively advancing and assigned it to Bell on the side. Bell dribbled the ball two steps faster and saw the right time and then returned to Liu Ting in the middle.

Zhan Jundao: "Liu Ting!! This is his chance! Atletico Madrid's backcourt is not many, and his chance to perform is here!!"

Liu Ting faced Heitinga with the ball, skillfully changed direction to the right, then kicked the ball back, and then accelerated into the penalty area. Heitinga was too late to reach out for a foul. Lopez rushed to defend. At this time, the goalkeeper of Atletico Madrid also chose to attack.

Alan Hansen roared: "Goooooooal!!! Liu broke through the goal of the Madrid people and made a wonderful arc lob shot. Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper attacked a little too early, and Liu Ting seized this opportunity very well."

In the 20th minute, Liu Ting broke into the penalty area and scored with a lob. Liverpool led Atletico Madrid 1-0.

Zhan Jun said: "This attack is rarely initiated from Mascherano. Liverpool have rarely seen this style of play before. Today, Maradona's arrival, Mascherano should also perform well. It is said that Maradona, the captain of the Argentine national team, wants him to take over."

The camera of the broadcast was also looking for Maradona in the box. Maradona was applauding with a smile on his face, and he didn't know whether to applaud Liu Ting or Mascherano.

After Liu Ting scored a goal, he called Bel Mascherano to hug and celebrate. The fans at Anfield were cheering loudly, and some people were shouting Mascherano's name, obviously for Maradona.

This slightly unexpected goal hit Atletico Madrid's morale, but they were mentally prepared to concede a goal before they came, and they quickly adjusted.

In the 27th minute, Heitinga advanced to the midfield from the side and passed the ball to Raul Garcia at the front of the penalty area. Raul Garcia passed the high ball into the penalty area. Diego Forlan's header was very powerful.

Diego Forlan went to the referee to signal that Agger touched the ball with his arm when he made a clearance, but the referee ignored it.

In the 34th minute, Xavi Alonsola caught the ball from the side and passed it to Dirk, who was near the bottom line of the penalty area before Simao pressed.

Hansen said: "Gerrard has not been very lucky recently. He has hit the post in three consecutive games. In the last game, if he missed one post, maybe Liverpool will not be tied."

Liverpool's offensive momentum has been fierce, and Atletico Madrid's counterattack is also very determined.

"Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Heiting's acceleration is very fast!"

Liverpool's attack was fruitless. After Atletico Madrid got the ball, the full-back Heitinga quickly advanced.

In the 37th minute, Maxi Rodriguez equalized for Atletico Madrid, 1:1.

Hansen said: "Carragher should be responsible for the goal. He should have cleared the ball in advance, but he reacted too slowly and stepped forward. It was too late. The previous partnership between Liverpool Carragher and Hypia was very reassuring, but in Hypia, Carragher was just 30 years old and his form declined. Maybe it is time for Liverpool to start looking for a new central defender combination."

Carragher was born in Liverpool's youth training and has been loyal to the Red Army. Hansen's words made many Liverpool fans unhappy, but Carragher is indeed in a bad state recently. He scored an own goal in the last game, and he is also responsible for conceding the goal this time.

Liverpool only led for more than 10 minutes before being equalized. Everyone was unwilling, but the attack in the next few minutes still failed to beat Atletico Madrid. The two sides ended the first half with a score of 1:1.

※※※

During the half-time break, Heynckes said: "When they press, we can play more directly, let the ball stay less in the midfield, and pass it directly to the frontcourt or even directly to the penalty area. Their defenders are not tall. We can take advantage of this."

The adjustment made by Heynckes was simple enough, and Atletico Madrid was also very simple. They continued to maintain the situation in the first half, and they were quite satisfied with the score of 1:1.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the offensive adjustments of the two teams were not significant, and even one substitution was useless. Heynckes’ adjustment of play was not effective. Atletico Madrid began to encircle Liu Ting in the frontcourt. The other Dirk.

On the bench beside the court, assistant coach Hermann said to Heynckes: "If Torres is here, this game will be easy to play. He and Liu Ting can hold the ball in the frontcourt. It is not so easy for the opponent to strangle the ball in the frontcourt. There is no one who will not pass to the frontcourt to create opportunities again and again like now."

Heynckes said: "According to the team doctor's suggestion, Torres' body is ready to play, but his injury is old, and now he is likely to be injured again and get worse. I don't want to take this risk."

Zhan Jundao: "Now the game time has reached 70 minutes, and the score between the two sides is still 1:1. Atletico Madrid has to make adjustments first. Aguero is already standing on the sidelines. It seems that he is going to play. I don't know if he can perform well in front of his father-in-law."

In the 71st minute, Atletico Madrid made adjustments first, replacing Diego Forlan with Aguero.

In the 74th minute, Aguero gave Liverpool a bad start as soon as he came up. He received a pass from Raul Garcia and went into the left side of the penalty area. He passed Carragher and hit the goal.

Hansen said: "This ball is really dangerous!! If Aguero hits more accurately, it will be a goal. Liverpool should pay attention to the defense of Aguero. Just now Carragher was too careless and almost lost the ball."

But Aguero seemed to come up with such three tricks. After Liverpool paid attention to marking him, he played stealth and never performed well.

As the minutes passed and the score remained unchanged, Heynckes had to make adjustments.

In the 79th minute, Liverpool replaced Babel with Robbie Keane.

Babbel is an average substitute striker. Although Robbie Keane did not perform well after moving to Liverpool, he is still a star. He may be able to help the team with a flash of inspiration.

But things backfired. Keane quickly started his invisibility after playing, as if playing hide-and-seek with Aguero.

In the 84th minute, without much change, Heynckes replaced Mascherano again with Modric.

Modric has a strong breakthrough ability, and his ability to organize offenses is much stronger than that of Xiao Ma. Of course, Modric's defensive ability is completely inferior to that of Xiao Ma.

The substitution finally worked.

In the 87th minute, Modric passed Assuncao in the midfield and passed through to the active running position of Dirk.

"Dukit...a great opportunity!!"

Didn't choose to hit the goal by himself. He made a cross, Liu Ting immediately followed up the penalty area, and Peria, who was defending Liu Ting, pulled his jersey.

"Liu Ting... keep up with the door!!!"

Liu Ting was too late to react to the interference and had to fall to the ground and shoot. However, the interference was insufficient and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco narrowly hugged the ball on the goal line.

Liu Ting got up and immediately went to the referee. Liu Ting pulled his jersey, gestured to him and said: "Pull!! It's obvious that the penalty area is pulling people, can't you see it? This is an obvious penalty!!"

The referee kept shaking his head like an idiot. Seeing that his face began to look bad, Gerald hurried over to pull Liu Ting away. Liu Ting had to say "I'm CNM" and leave.

Facing the world's high-language Chinese, the Swedish referee obviously didn't know what Liu Ting was talking about, so he could only look puzzled!
The game soon came to stoppage time. Since the six substitutions of the two teams were all in the second half, and there were two disputes with the referee, the fourth official on the sidelines raised the 6-minute stoppage time.

Entering stoppage time, Liverpool is even more desperate to attack. Although a 1:1 draw at home is acceptable, who would not want to win?
