Ace Young Marshal

Chapter 631
"The referee decisively awarded Henderson for a handball in the box and Atlético Madrid got a penalty!
Henderson expressed his dissatisfaction with the penalty. He rushed to the referee and said excitedly that he hadn't intentionally handballed and his arm was not open, but we showed through slow motion replays that maybe he didn't intentionally handball, but his arm was not. Completely close to the torso of the body, this penalty is not controversial.

Atlético Madrid have a chance to win back a goal! "

Perhaps it was the explosive confrontation between the two teams in the first round that caused Henderson to lose control of his emotions after being penalized for a handball foul. He chattered to the referee. Desen hugged and pulled aside, and said to Henderson in a deep voice: "Dude, don't worry, it's just a penalty, just a penalty! We didn't lose the game because of this, now you need to adjust your mentality, if you If this continues, you may make mistakes, adjust yourself, even if they score a penalty, we are still ahead, as leaders, we should be calm and steady!"

Henderson took a deep breath and finally woke up.

With much attention, Griezmann took the penalty. After the referee blew his whistle, Griezmann kicked the ball into the upper right corner of the goal after a run-up. Ter Stegen made a wrong prediction and Liverpool A ball was recovered.

"Griezmann hit a spot shot, Atletico Madrid equalized the score in the away game, the total score is 2:3 behind Liverpool, now they only need to score one more goal to equalize the total score!"

As the first half was drawing to a close, Alonzo yelled loudly on the sidelines, reminding the players to start strengthening their defense, focusing on defensive counterattacks to ensure that no more goals were conceded in the first half!
Even though Atlético Madrid pulled back a goal, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it. After all, they did not have much advantage in sports warfare. If they misjudged the situation just because of a penalty kick, they believed that they could push forward and reverse the overall situation. situation, then it must be a huge risk!
So Atlético Madrid players are also playing steadily. After all, their current situation is much better than 0:0 at the beginning!
The trend of the game became flat. Before the end of the first half, the two teams each took a long shot and there was no threat.

After the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, Situ Yunbing stood up and turned around to leave. After seeing the two UEFA officials, he suddenly realized that he could not go to the locker room now.

He was so absorbed in watching the game just now that he even forgot about the suspension. He smiled at the two and poured himself another glass of wine.

Simeone left the stands and went to the bathroom. Even so, the UEFA officials who supervised him followed him. God knows if he will find an opportunity to contact Atletico Madrid secretly.

Situ Yunbing, who was sitting in the box, gently shook the wine glass in his hand.

In the first half of the game, Liverpool had an overall advantage, but the result was not favorable, because the score of 1:1 was better for Atletico Madrid, and for Liverpool, it was one step closer to the safety line.

At 0:0, Atletico Madrid still had to be eliminated with a one-goal lead.

At 1:1, if Atletico Madrid leads Liverpool by one goal, then the game is back to square one, at least it looks like that on aggregate, and both teams have the same number of away goals.

But in fact, it is not good for Liverpool. Even if they have home court advantage, as long as Atletico Madrid scores another goal, it will not be as simple as scoring one goal for Liverpool to get back!

Because Atletico Madrid will have more away goals than Liverpool!
Situ Yunbing stood up and walked to the window. The wine glass in his right hand went up and down three times in the palm of his left hand, and after 20 seconds, he went up and down again three times.

His action was invisible to UEFA officials, but no one noticed that among the ball boys on the sidelines, Mbappe looked up at the direction of the box very seriously. After Situ Yunbing drank the wine in the glass , Mbappe walked into the player channel from the sidelines, and then quickly ran to the home team locker room.

After he opened the door and entered, Alonzo saw him coming and immediately asked, "What's going on?"

"Three hits," Mbappe said.

Alonzo asked again: "Are you sure?"

Mbappe nodded and said: "Very sure, BOSS repeated it."

Alonzo immediately turned around and said to everyone: "BOSS has instructions. We will strengthen the midfield interception in the second half, and implement plan B as planned. Remember, the offensive in positional warfare can be simple, but when containing the opponent's attack, we must let them create. No threat!"

Liverpool generals nodded one after another!
No one would have imagined that Situ Yunbing would pass the adjustment order in such a grand manner under the watchful eyes of everyone!

He doesn't need to be sneaky, at Anfield, he just needs a humble messenger.

If it was a Liverpool coach standing on the sidelines and looking up at the box, it must be eye-catching, but it is not surprising that Mbappe, the ball boy, looks up at the box, because there are many other ball boys.

A number of adjustment plans were prepared before the game to deal with different situations. The only thing Situ Yunbing could not do was to personally give lectures to the players to further stimulate their fighting spirit, but he trusted his players.

And the reason why he was suspended, in the final analysis, was because of defending the interests of the team, not because of his own troubles.

Liverpool and Atletico Madrid have played for 135 minutes. Maybe because too many eye-catching things happened in the game, few people can calmly think about it. How many minutes did Atletico Madrid have in the past 135 minutes? That Atlético Madrid, who was tenacious, arrogant, violent and defensive from the group stage all the way to the knockout stage this season?

Perhaps only when the semi-finals are completely over, people can look back at these two matchups to clarify the context and find some clues.

At the end of the intermission, the players of the two teams returned to the court and changed sides to fight again.

Simeone sat in the stands with his chin in his hands and his fists in his hands. He did nothing during the intermission, which filled him with anxiety and even madness again, but there was nothing he could do.

He has already been suspended in the group stage next season. If he crosses the line and does something outrageous and is severely punished by UEFA, he can't imagine what kind of situation the team will face next season.

In fact, the unspoken rules of European football have always existed, and these clubs do not want to be targeted by UEFA.

The referee blew the whistle to start the second half!

Amidst the passionate cheers at Anfield, Liverpool still controls the initiative on the field, and the winner of the midfield wins the world!

Liverpool's offense was very simple. Henderson made a long pass from the midfielder to find Suarez on the striker.

Atletico Madrid fans are naturally dismissive. Such an attack wants to break their defense?

What about dreaming?
Sure enough, Miranda easily cleared with a header.

But the football that was determined was about to be controlled by Diego, and Casemiro stepped forward to fight against the box and squeezed Diego away.

Casemiro, who took the lead in possession of the ball, knocked the ball across to Eriksson, who sent a through pass to Gareth Bale. Go forward immediately after the ball is released.

Suarez grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area before Mario Suarez made a steal.

Gareth Bale rushed forward and volleyed the ball to Atletico Madrid's goal before Godin blocked it.

Courtois holds the ball in his arms after taking a step.

"Gareth Bale's shot this time is not very threatening. If the angle is more tricky, the effect will be better. Now Atletico Madrid is starting to organize the attack."

Atletico Madrid encountered a midfield blockade in the positional battle, causing them to rely more on long passes.

When Adrian stopped the ball on the right side of the front court, Mask Man Robertson launched a frenzied press on him, forcing Adrian to make a mistake, and Benatia easily intercepted the ball.

Liverpool's defense was not threatened, and they continued to play a very simple positional offensive, but paid more attention to counter-robbing and second offense!

Situ Yunbing sat in the box and nodded slightly. The team implemented his tactical adjustment requirements very well.

Now let's see if Atletico Madrid can create a miracle.

Had they been able to level the aggregate score before 60 minutes, it would have been a toss-up game.

But if the score is still ahead after 60 minutes, then Atletico Madrid's enemy will not only be Liverpool, but a new enemy will appear: time!

Although the defense line is safe for the time being, the weakness in Atletico Madrid's offense is still clear at a glance, which makes Atletico Madrid's generals a little anxious.

Simeone just arranged a starting lineup that he thought could improve creativity and offensive threat, but the actual effect was not as he wished. In this case, the role of the coach's command and adjustment on the sidelines will be very prominent. Conversely, If the coach cannot command and adjust on the spot, then Atletico Madrid will become more and more passive!

In the 68th minute of the game, Atletico Madrid invested more troops in the attack.

Felipe Luiz assisted and wanted to cooperate with Griezmann in the frontcourt, but Griezmann was not in an ideal position when responding to the long pass from the backcourt. He was forced in by Van Dijk and Azpilicueta At a dead end, he didn't see Luiz's back-up assist, but chose to force the ball across the middle, but was intercepted by Kanter who retreated into the penalty area.

After stealing the ball, Kanter calmly passed the ball diagonally to Casemiro, who immediately split the ball to the left. Robertson stepped forward to push the ball forward quickly, and sent it out just after passing the midfield A direct pass with one foot on the ground.

Gareth Bella responded and then faced Alderweireld. The latter did not dare to take the initiative, for fear of being directly passed by Gareth Bell.

So Gareth Bell took the initiative to change the ball to the inside. When Alderweireld recovered the middle and joined forces with Godin to attack, Gareth Bell knocked the ball back diagonally to Eriksson who followed up. , the latter suddenly kicked over the top and made a direct pass.

The pass was a little impatient, Suarez moved forward but stopped immediately because Miranda pushed the ball out.

However, the football fell outside the penalty area and was controlled by Liverpool players. After Henderson stopped the ball, he quickly cooperated with Gareth Bale, who had already moved to the middle of the penalty area.

Then he stepped forward to cooperate with Suarez Bell hitting the wall!

The Atlético Madrid generals never expected Henderson to go forward and enter their penalty area!

After rushing past Miranda, Henderson responded to Suarez's pass without making any adjustments and shot directly!

The football goes straight to the center of the goal, the lower left position, the far corner!

Courtois blocked the ball to the limit in a hasty save!

Godin, who quickly returned to the front of the goal, didn't care too much, and kicked the ball out of the baseline!

"Henderson's shot was very dangerous this time, and Courtois' save was also exceptional!

After Atletico Madrid strengthened their offense, the defense showed signs of being difficult to parry!
But time is not friendly to Atletico Madrid. The game will end in less than 25 minutes. If Atletico Madrid cannot score another goal, then their Champions League journey will stop in the semi-finals!
So they also had to step up their offense! "

Simeone's face was livid, he almost wanted to rush down the stands to make adjustments and command!
It is clear that Atlético Madrid needs to adjust and now it is time to make a decision!
Everyone knows to fight, but how to fight, what method to use, 11 players on the field have 11 ideas, the head coach is the one who can unify the thinking of the whole team!
