Chapter 423 Everything under control?
In another group of Champions League quarter-final second-leg duels at the same time as Real Madrid and Juventus, Bayern returned to the home court and had a goalless draw with Sevilla, achieving the goal with a total score of 2-1. Strong.

The draw for the semi-finals of the Champions League will be held at the UEFA headquarters on Friday night, Swiss time. Liverpool, Roma, Bayern and Real Madrid, four teams from different leagues that have performed best this year will meet to advance The last opponent before the NSK Olympic Stadium in Kiev.But on the Thursday night before that, the Europa League final four will be freshly released at the same time, attracting the attention of many news media and fans.

At 4:12 local time on April 21th, at the Red Bull Stadium, the rematch between Salzburg Red Bull and Torino started on time.Although it lost 05-1 in Italy a week ago, the Austrian league hegemony obviously did not give up the hope of promotion. The head coach Marco Rose even gave up the strategy of last weekend's domestic competition in order to prepare for this day's game. In the league, the team that played with rotation players lost 4 to 0 to Linz in the away game.However, Red Bull's advantage in their home country is too great, and they are still at the top of the Olympic League standings with an advantage of eight points, and they don't care about the gains and losses of one or two games.

Compared with last week's first round confrontation, Rose not only changed the formation from the 4-4-2 in the parallel position of the midfield to the diamond-shaped position that he is best at, so as to strengthen the offensive power.He also changed two positions in the starting lineup, and all of them appeared in the midfield.South Korean international Hwang Hee-chan replaced the Norwegian fast horse Gulbranson. He will partner with the team's top scorer, the Israeli Dabur, on the front line; Reinhold Jabo, a German midfielder of Congolese descent, who is good at organizing and passing the ball, appeared in the midfielder position after the opening, and was responsible for delivering shells for the two forwards.

As for the Turin team, they just defeated Inter Milan four days ago with all their strength. While consolidating their position as the third place in the league standings, it also caused the team's main core to consume a lot of physical energy.In order to avoid injuries caused by fatigue, Li Moody carried out a moderate rotation of the starting lineup in this European game. In the 3-5-2 position, the goalkeeper is still Casillas, who has been in hot form recently. The three central defenders are composed of Goldaniga, Diego Llorente and teenager Bonifaczi. From right to left are Dickman, Tulalang, Fabas, Vukocevic and Dimarco, and the double forwards are Immobile and Pellegri.

It is said that it is a three-back system. In fact, during the game, the Turin coach asked the two wing backs to retreat to the defense line to participate in the defense. Therefore, the visiting team played 5- most of the time. 3-2.This is the first time in Li Moody's coaching career that he has used this kind of bus tactic, which is considered to be Hongguoguo. Before, he did not resort to a five-back strategy even when facing such powerful opponents as Juventus and Naples.

Everything was caused by the three-goal comeback of Barcelona by Roma two days ago, and the almost comeback of Real Madrid. Although I don’t believe in fate, the miracles that were considered difficult to happen before have happened one after another in reality. Li Mudi still felt a lot of pressure when he performed in the middle of the movie.Under the circumstances that the Salzburg Red Bull will be encouraged by the performance of the two Italian teams to launch a crazy attack today, and the physical condition of the core players of the side is not at the best, and it is impossible to replicate Qi Zu's previous performances. The Turin coach can only come up with the most reasonable method to deal with the idea of ​​attacking and attacking.

However, if after seeing this set of starters, people who think that the Red Bulls have given up their offensive attempts like Barcelona two days ago, may be severely slapped in the face.Li Moody is definitely not Valverde's overly conservative coaching style. He just hides his sharp fangs under certain circumstances. Once the opponent is negligent, then the Torino team is best at quick counterattack It will let everyone see what is the lethal weapon they have used to reach the top of Serie A for two consecutive years.

In the first minute of the game, the Turin team, which had won the ball, launched a blitz. Fabas scored the ball to the right. Dickman saw that the defensive players of the home team seemed to be not concentrating, so he suddenly sent a long-distance ball. The diagonal pass directly penetrated the opponent's defense.It's a pity that due to the need to avoid the defender's control range, the power of this pass is a bit too strong, and the angle is not too suitable. Even though Immobile tried his best to chase him, he failed in the end, otherwise it would be very difficult. It may form a one-handed situation directly facing the goalkeeper.

They were almost caught off guard at the beginning of the game. Naturally, the Salzburg Red Bull players would not let it go. They began to mobilize the visiting team's defensive front through a large number of conductive balls amidst the cheers and cheers of nearly [-] supporters at home. Opportunistically find vulnerabilities that can be exploited.

Marco Rose's tactical concept is somewhat close to Sarri's. Although he uses a different formation, he also pursues fast and flexible running and passing in the frontcourt, and he also likes to use the backcourt players to launch attacks.The central defender Lamarjo, who was born in the Brazilian Red Bull Club, acts as the important task of dominating the ball. He can become the person who passes the most balls in the games he participates in under normal circumstances, not only because of his identity as a direct descendant of the Red Bull Group (I have played for teams related to the Red Bull Group for most of my career so far), the passing and vision of both reaching 13 are one of the key reasons why the team can quickly burn the flames to the weak parts of the opponent's half.

In the 4th minute, it was Lamalho's pass that helped Schrager break through Vukocevic's interception. The latter's exquisite through ball allowed Huang Xican to break into the penalty area of ​​the Torino team. The shot from the right foot is powerful and heavy.Fortunately, Casey kept enough attention and blocked it with a wonderful side throw. Dickman retreated in time to tackle the ball out of the sideline, completely resolving the danger.

Since then, the home team has controlled more than 11% of the ball, but it is difficult to find a solution when facing the large number of Turin defenses. Several crosses from the side are very reluctant, and the landing point is obviously dominated by Gore. Daniga and others easily controlled it. No. In the [-]th minute, Yapolla went to the right to fight against DiMarco's interference all the way to the bottom line, but in the end he forced a kick to send a cross but failed to find his teammates in the penalty area.Neither of their two forwards is very good at working at heights. Dabur hit Goldaniga's face with his hand while fighting for position, which almost caused a conflict between the two sides.

Seeing that this path was not feasible, and the penetration of the short pass in the center was difficult to be effective due to the opponent's heavy guards, the Salzburg Red Bull chose to withdraw actively, hoping to lure the overall formation of Turin to press forward and leave Enough space for two strikers to move.

Unwilling to be passively defensive, the Red Bulls also took the opportunity to increase their investment in the offensive end. Fabas repeatedly mentioned the position of the front midfielder to organize work, which gradually increased the number of times the visiting team attacked the opponent's dangerous zone. The offensive and defensive rhythm of the game Suddenly it became faster, and the level of excitement has also been greatly improved.

No.16 minutes, Fabas sent a 45-degree oblique long pass from the left. Pellegri chose to head the ball back after fighting for the landing point. A violent long-range shot from the foot, unfortunately, hit the leg of Schrager, who was flying to block, and popped out of the bottom line. Three minutes later, Dimarco's first assist almost made a breakthrough. Yapo, who returned to the defense, had to bring down the left wing back of Turin and gave the opponent a free kick in a good position. Near the far post, Diego Llorente caused mutual interference with the home team's central defender Chaleta Carr, and the second point was cleared out of the penalty area by the defensive player.

No.20 minutes, Immobile dribbled the ball from the right and was pulled to the ground by Ulmer. The referee from Slovenia, Skomina, still didn't show the intention of showing a yellow card, but awarded a free kick, which made Torino very upset. dissatisfied.Then Fabas passed the ball into the penalty area. Today, Goldaniga, who has a very high success rate in the header challenge, headed the ball high and missed the good opportunity to open the scoring.

Two minutes later, Red Bull also used a corner kick to threaten the goal guarded by Cassie. Unfortunately, Chaleta Carr's header went slightly wide of the post, causing the home team's supporters to sigh with regret.

After that, Fabas played a solo pass by himself. He dribbled the ball all the way into the penalty area, but was cut off by Lamarjo before he was ready to make the next move.The home team counterattacked immediately, but Dabble almost copied the scene that just happened in the opponent's midfield. After receiving the ball from his teammate in the penalty area, he was too hesitant to handle the ball and was preempted by Diego Llorente. go out.After getting the ball from the left, Yabo used continuous shaking to break through Dickman and immediately made a pass from the bottom, but the landing point was still hard to escape the control of the Torino central defender. Bonifaczi appeared in a key position in time to push the ball out bottom line.

The game went on for half an hour unknowingly in the state of both sides' offense and defense, and the Turin players who were less physically fit took the lead to enter the first bottleneck period. Li Mudi immediately instructed everyone to retreat in an all-round way. To deal with this relatively unfavorable situation.

As soon as the visiting team recovered the whole line, the offense of the Salzburg Red Bull also fell into a dilemma. Bo and Dabble have been unable to find a comfortable way to play.It was not easy to gain some free space during the time when the two sides launched the confrontation, but now it has disappeared, and morale will naturally be affected to varying degrees.

And with the further passage of time, the situation of falling behind by three goals in the total score will bring them more and more pressure, so in desperation, Marco Rose can't care about the danger of losing the ball. He ordered the team members to launch a strong attack.The forward penetration of the two full-backs did increase the attack options of the Red Bull team. They once formed a siege to the hinterland of the visiting team's penalty area, but the defense was also full of loopholes, and the Turin team took advantage of the opportunity to play two threatening shots. The counterattack almost ended the suspense of promotion ahead of schedule.

No. In the 40th minute, Tulalan stole the ball and drove to the frontcourt with a big foot. Immobile and Pellegri completed a wonderful collision between the two strikers.Turin No. 10 entered the penalty area and received a pass from his teammate. After leaning on Lamaljo, he volleyed with his left foot, but it was accidentally kicked and the ball was confiscated by Walker.

Two minutes later, the home team's corner kick was punched out of the penalty area by Cassie, and Fabas immediately launched a counterattack.He dribbled the ball all the way from the right, and after meeting the defensive player, he passed it diagonally into the penalty area. Pellegri's ingenious backheel made the ball give Immobile a fleeting chance to grab a shot.It's a pity that the latter's left-footed shot was interfered by the home team's goalkeeper who attacked in time, and failed to hit the right position. Walker, who turned around and reacted a second time, caught the ball in front of the goal.

Immobile, who missed two golden chances in a row, lay on the ground in remorse and refused to get up for a long time. His self-esteem as a super shooter made it difficult for him to accept the fact that he played a bad half-time game. Fortunately, he adjusted in time Emotions finally recovered in the second half.

At the end of halftime, the two sides fought 45-0 in the first 0 minutes, and the total score remained at 1-4. The Turin team is very close to qualifying for the semi-finals of this season's Europa League.

In terms of statistics, except for the ball possession rate leading by almost seven or eight percentage points, the two teams are similar in other aspects, especially in shooting. Although the Salzburg Red Bull is slightly ahead, but only in terms of threat Looking at it, there is no doubt that the visiting team has to do better.Li Moody had a reason not to adjust tactics and lineup during the intermission. If the opponent couldn't break through the defensive formation he had set up, then letting the game continue at the rhythm of the first half was also in the interests of the Red Bulls.

In the rematch, neither side has made personnel adjustments, but the home team has accelerated the pace of passing and possession of the ball again, hoping to seize the time to score goals and keep the hope of a comeback.It’s just that too impatient psychology also led to the deformation of technical actions. For example, when the second half just started 60 seconds ago, Red Bull fought for a corner kick, but veteran Ulmer directly took the ball out of the far sideline. The players The pressure on the body can be seen in general.

Even if the opponent's offensive efficiency is not high, Li Mudi obviously won't allow himself to be pressed on the ground and rubbed hard. He still has the idea of ​​scoring an away goal, so Immobile is always cruising around the midfield line , waiting for an opportunity that does not know when it will come.

No. In the 409th minute, Tulalan's flying tackle intercepted Berisha's cross. Dickman directly sent a precise long pass 45 meters away after getting the ball. Immobile used his speed to get stuck in the penalty area. On the right side of the inside, a right-footed shot was shot from a position [-] or [-] meters away from the goal, which was blocked by Walker.

Although they failed to score a goal, this quick and efficient counterattack obviously hit the home team's vitals. In order to avoid another dangerous situation in their own goal, their two full-backs had to take turns staying in the backcourt to help the two central defenders. , which reduced the pressure on the Turin team's defense by another point.The situation of the game has become more and more favorable to the Red Bulls, and Li Moody on the sidelines also feels that everything is under his control. At this time, he has already begun to make the best preparations for a smooth promotion to the semi-finals .
