My football skills are so strong! I am the king of control

"When Hoffenheim's forwards shot, Lin Chen and the rest of Liverpool's defenders were always able to rush to the scene quickly to block the shot."

"Under strong interference, Hoffenheim's shooting quality also became very low."

"I think this was a tactic Klopp deliberately formulated, to suppress the opponent first and then boost the opponent's strength, to stabilize the rhythm in the first half and consume Hoffenheim's physical strength."

"Hoffenheim has been in a state of fierce attack, and their physical reserves in the second half will definitely not be as strong as Liverpool's."

Coach Zhang is worthy of being a master of tactical analysis, his ideas are exactly the same as Klopp's.

Klopp and Kravitz studied Hoffenheim's performance in recent games before the game and found that Hoffenheim was in particularly good form in the first half.

They always like to score a goal in the first half, and then retreat in the second half after establishing their advantage. With such performance, they have achieved two consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.

Therefore, Klopp decided to consume Hoffenheim's physical strength first, and then launch a counterattack at home in the second half, taking advantage of the right time, place and people to defeat Hoffenheim in one fell swoop!

Liverpool dressing room.

"You did a great job in the first half!" Klopp was very satisfied.

"The second half is when we can let go!"

"Henderson and Emre Can move back, Lin presses forward, and the three wingers perform high pressure!"

"Pick up the tempo for me!"

“I want to see faster conversions!”

"Once the ball reaches midfield, it will be handed over to Lin to coordinate."

"The wingers and Henderson increase the cross-running to create more advancement opportunities for Lin!"

"Give me the last 45 minutes."

“Kill Hoffenheim completely!!!”

A moment later, the second half of the game began.

Hoffenheim's players were still walking and discussing in the player tunnel.

"We must seize our opportunities in the second half."

"That's right, there's nothing to be afraid of with Liverpool. As long as we can seize the opportunity, we can definitely overtake the total score in the second half!"

"Come on, brothers, we are going to play in the Champions League!!"

The advantage in the first half made Hoffenheim very confident, until all Hoffenheim players came to their own half, stood still and looked up at the Liverpool players in front of them.

A strong sense of oppression suddenly came over me, a completely different atmosphere from the first half.

More aggressive and more murderous!

They were like 11 demons with gloomy faces, eyes full of fire and desire, staring at Hoffenheim, making the Hoffenheim players feel creepy.

“It feels different.”

"Liverpool seems to be counterattacking." Coach James keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere on the field.

In the Sky Sports commentary room, Gerrard suddenly leaned back in his chair comfortably, crossed his legs, and no longer felt the tension he had in the first half.

"Wait." Gerrard looked at Neville.

"The fun is about to begin."

Neville, as a Manchester United legend, curled his lips. He certainly didn't want his arch-rivals Liverpool to play in the Champions League.

The game just started, Lin Chen took the initiative to move forward, and Liverpool once again put up high pressure!

"The frontcourt was very aggressive and Hoffenheim could no longer organize an attack directly from the backcourt!"

"Still rushing for the ball, Xubner had the ball and was forced to clear it with his foot. He didn't dare to stay for even a second!"

"The ball fell into the midfield, Henderson took control first, pushed Demirbay away and passed it to Emre Can!"

"Another pass back, a beautiful pass, Liverpool controls the ball!"

Hoffenheim gradually realized that the ball was no longer in their hands.

The 55th minute of the game!

"Demirbai dribbled the ball in the middle, Lin Chen rushed up to steal it, pressing very tightly!"

Demirbai tried to dribble the ball and complete a counterattack, but Lin Chen's strong body was stuck tightly behind him.

Demirbai tried desperately to force a turn, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he had no choice but to pass the ball back.

The ball had just been passed to Hubna, and before he could kick the ball away, Firmino, who was pressing high up the pitch, arrived just in time!

He cleverly maneuvered himself and actually intercepted the return pass in advance!
