It's a bit late today, sorry for everyone!

------

When Koeman walked into the player tunnel, he was really sweating in his heart. The first half was actually the most thrilling stage, but Liverpool carried it over!

After calming down, Coman's expression became extremely solemn, and at the same time his eyes became very sharp and energetic.

When the Liverpool players returned to the locker room, Koeman walked up to everyone and said loudly: "You are amazing. In the first half, I actually think it is a good result for us to draw with Barcelona, ​​but we Now we are leading 2:1, which is more beneficial to us both psychologically and in terms of actual situation, do you all remember the tactical arrangement we made at the pre-match preparation meeting yesterday?"

The generals of the Red Army nodded together.

Everyone knows that the first half of the game was actually a foreshadowing, and Liverpool's real effort is in the second half.

Now they are able to lead Barcelona. It can be said that Liverpool has achieved better initial results than expected.

Koeman once again emphasized in the locker room how the team should deal with Barcelona in the second half. Every player listened attentively, preparing for a real big fight in the second half!

After a halftime break and adjustment, the two sides changed sides to fight again in the second half.

The Barcelona generals must have also undergone Guardiola's adjustment arrangements during the intermission, and their mental outlook was refreshed. It seems that they did not fall into a passive state because of the score behind.

"With the whistle of the referee, the second half of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final between Liverpool and Barcelona officially began. Now the score is 1:4. The home team Liverpool leads Barcelona. Let us see how the two teams will perform in the second half. Bar."

As soon as the second half came up, Barcelona still shaped the offensive situation with pass control, while Liverpool didn't seem to have changed much from the first half.It is still an intensive defense to seize the opportunity to switch between offense and defense and fight back.

Koeman stood on the sidelines with his chin slightly raised. He glanced at Guardiola, who was supervising the battle with his hands in his pockets, and said that it was false not to envy and admire him.

After all, Guardiola is young and promising. He has become famous since his debut and has become the top coach in European football. Coupled with Barcelona's unique environment, it can be said that there are few head coaches in the world who do not envy Guardiola.

Be the head coach.Who wouldn't want a club godfather to support behind the scenes?Who doesn't envy being a coach and having a very good relationship with the club chairman?

Barcelona is very strong, and its ability to attack tough positions is second to none in European football. This is Barcelona's advantage.

But Koeman will not give up and will not admit defeat. He has player resources comparable to Barcelona. Although it is impossible for him to train Liverpool into the second Barcelona.Because that's simply not realistic.

England's football environment and atmosphere, if the team plays like Barcelona, ​​most of the fans will not buy it. Most of the fans want to see fierce confrontation, long-term fast-paced games, and the scenes are open and closed, which is in line with England. fans' aesthetics.

This is the best league in the world in the eyes of England fans.

Liverpool will never become Barcelona, ​​or even Arsenal, which used to be known as the most pleasing European football.The rhythm must also meet the aesthetic standards of England's local fans, otherwise it will only be cast aside by the fans.

On the basis that Liverpool's own style does not change, Liverpool can still do a lot of articles, because there are many tactics in the football world.Rich and varied, no one tactic can absolutely suppress, or even sweep all other tactics.

Only tactics that fit the team can be powerful tactics.

Liverpool's first half today is a process of consumption and foreshadowing, and the real effort is in the second half.

Koeman's well-designed tactics may not be complicated, but this is also in line with the environment of playing against Barcelona. If you want to break Barcelona's pass control, the simpler, more direct and rude tactics you play.The more effective it is, the more complicated and delicate the tactics will be counterproductive, because Barcelona's decisiveness and speed in defense are actually rare in European football.

It takes an offense faster than Barcelona's defense to have the desired effect.

The 52nd minute of the game.When Messi broke through the corridor in front of the restricted area by Aurelio on the right and was successfully blocked by Mascherano and Alonso, Liverpool launched a new round of counterattack.

Lucas passes the ball to Gerrard in midfield.The latter passed the ball directly to the left to Qin Xiong.

Qin Xiong was pushing forward with the football in the dribble, and Keita retreated back immediately. He could not repeat the mistake he made when he conceded the second goal in the first half.

Out of touch with the back line!

When Qin Xiong came to the dangerous zone of attack forty yards from the goal.

Keita, Alves, and Puyol formed a triangular formation from his front, side, and oblique front.

This is the defensive deployment that Guardiola emphasized at half-time.

In any case, even in the face of Liverpool's sharp counterattack, Barcelona's defensive system must form a zone defense, and it must be a three-man defense posture, otherwise it will be difficult to block Qin Xiong!

The defensive requirements for Torres are only two defenses.

But for Qin Xiong, it must be at least a three-person defense system!

Qin Xiong still stubbornly moved towards Puyol's steering wheel when facing the double-team.

Puyol is as immovable as a mountain, and is not going to go forward to force Qin Xiong, because some teammates will come forward, as long as Alves or Keita forces Qin Xiong to make a breakthrough, then Puyol will succeed in intercepting him again. The rate will be greatly increased!

However, when Alves and Keita formed a closed defensive formation together, Qin Xiong suddenly stopped the dribbling rhythm, then pulled the ball back half a meter, and then turned the ball sideways to the middle of the penalty area!

Puyol looked along the rolling direction of the football, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of astonishment.

Gerrard threw off Harvey and rushed to the penalty area!

The momentum of Gerrard running forward is completely different from that in the first half. It's not that he suddenly became stronger in the second half, but that Gerrard was keeping his energy in the first half!

At this moment, Koman's eyes became extremely sharp, his fists were clenched, and he was looking forward to Gerrard's performance deep in his heart.

Liverpool used Qin Xiong and Torres to attack in the first half, constantly harassing, invading, and attacking Barcelona's defense.

Whether it is a successful offense or an unfinished offense, Barcelona will form a certain thinking inertia in defense, ignoring Liverpool's other offensive players.

The reason why Koeman said that Liverpool completed the task beyond expectations in the first half is because Liverpool played two counterattacks. In this way, Barcelona will pay more attention to Torres and Qin Xiong, ignoring Liverpool's other offensive players. .

Now, Gerrard is the unexpected offensive point that completely disrupts Barcelona's defense! (to be continued~^~)
