football dynasty

As soon as the game started, APOEL retreated decisively to its own half, leaving Elton alone in front.

However, Li Wei found that the Greek Athletic is not conservative, they are not simply sticking to the penalty area and not going out.Their style of play is somewhat similar to that of Liverpool, they both use running to gain an advantage.

The active running of APOEL players also greatly affected Liverpool's forward passing route.

However, Li Wei was very patient. He made Liverpool's players patiently control the ball on the sidelines many times.

Can't pass the ball forward?

It doesn't matter, just keep the ball in the backcourt!
Li Wei, who also started by running, knows very well that tireless running is a double-edged sword.He can give the team more advantages on the field, but it can also cause the team's physical breakdown.

At the beginning of the season, the hidden dangers brought about by this style of play were not obvious, but when is now?It's the second half of the season!

Liverpool are full of injuries due to physical problems, and Levi does not believe that APOEL has no physical problems.

To put it bluntly, they have no problem with nine and 10 minutes, and there is another round!

There is absolutely no need for Liverpool to worry.

Controlling the football at their feet, Liverpool can also be much easier.

The first half of the game is over, but the score is still 0:0.

Li Wei is not worried about the game, but other people don't think so.

…………

Taking advantage of the intermission, commentators and guests from various TV stations expressed their opinions one after another.

"APOEL used Liverpool's familiar defensive methods to limit Liverpool's offense. At that time, I was still thinking that Levi must be struggling. If he broke APOEL's defense, I am afraid that he will be used by opponents in the league. The way to target Liverpool. It just seems that Li Wei has no way to break this defense!"

Another guest said: "I don't think Li Wei has no way to break this kind of defense. Liverpool has many good dribblers, but the problem is that Liverpool is full of injuries now, and it is easy to arrange people to break through. In case of injury What to do? So Li Wei is hesitating."

But others don't see it that way: "No, I think Liverpool underestimated APOEL too much, they may suffer from Lyon Football Club. If Levi doesn't want the second half result to be bad, he has to play in 15 minutes. Wake up the players!"

Although each has its own statement, in general, the commentators believe that Liverpool is at a disadvantage in this game.

In fact, if you look at the data, everyone knows that Liverpool has the upper hand, with a ball possession rate of 70.00%, which is close to [-]% of the ball possession rate!In terms of the number of shots, there were as many as nine, while APOEL only had two shots here, and none of them were within the goal frame.

But why does this still happen?
Because everyone thinks that Liverpool is a giant, and they should easily win APOEL as a matter of course.

This kind of thinking is exactly what Ivan Jovanovic wants Liverpool players to have.

Levi knew this very well, so when he returned to the intermission, he did not wake up the Liverpool players as the TV guests hoped.On the contrary, when the Liverpool players returned to the locker room, Levi also praised his disciples.

"Guys, although we didn't score in the first half, you all performed very well! Continue in the second half! Patience, patience, we will win in the end!"

At first, some Liverpool players were worried that the team failed to score in the first half, and when they returned to the locker room, they were afraid that they would be scolded by the head coach for playing like shit. Unexpectedly, Levi not only did not scold them, but also praised them. They, this put the burden in the players' hearts aside immediately.

In football games, mentality is very important, especially against weak teams, you can't be too nervous, otherwise things will often get worse.

Liverpool still played at a slow pace in the second half.

The head coach of APOEL didn't care at the beginning, sitting on the bench and talking and laughing with the assistant coach.

The goal of APOEL in this game is very simple, to keep a tie and win, and everything is based on a draw.It would be even better if we could go one step further on the basis of keeping the tie and steal a goal at Anfield.It doesn't matter even if it is tied by Liverpool in the end, because this is a precious away goal.

The game time passed a little bit, and in the minute Ivan Jovanovic took the lead in using a substitution, replacing a midfielder with insufficient physical strength.

No. 701 minutes, APOEL coach Ivan Jovanovic once again used the second substitution.

This time it was Elio Pinto who was replaced by No. [-] striker Solari. Before Ayrton arrived, Solari was the team's number one striker. The top ten teams.But when Elton came, he had no choice but to become the second choice of the head coach. Unless he was in a double forward formation, he would most likely stay on the bench.

In the last time, APOEL coach Ivan Jovanovic was confused by Liverpool. He thought he had a chance to win an away goal, so he chose to fight in the last 10 minutes of the game. The team started from 4 -5-1 changes to 4-4-2.

Li Wei was still thinking about whether to play with the four forwards in the last 10 minutes of the game. Although there is still a second round to play, but he can solve the opponent in the first round, why delay the game until the second round?
He didn't expect APOEL to be more courageous than he imagined, to play double forwards.

Li Wei decisively signaled to his disciples, don't hold the ball patiently anymore, attack it!Fight the bayonet!

The APOEL players didn't know the catastrophe was coming. Although they saw Liverpool stepping up their attack, they didn't realize what it would bring.

They were all used to Liverpool's slow-paced games before, but they didn't expect that once Liverpool chose to attack, the pace of the game would immediately increase to a frightening level.

APOEL can't adapt to this game rhythm at all, and when they lose one player in the midfield, the control of the midfield is not weakened from the original five (players) to four (players), one less With four players defending, Liverpool can use more offensive space.

A series of smooth attacks were played out.

Although APOEL felt these threats, they didn't know how to solve them. The game put a lot of pressure on them, which also made APOEL players start to get confused.
