Chapter 717 Final Sprint!

Juventus Arena.

After Gareth Bale broke the goal, he roared passionately and rushed to the stands of the fans of the visiting team. The Red Army fans waved their fists excitedly and yelled for Gareth Bale!

The Juventus fans were stunned. They failed to score a clean sheet against Liverpool at home, and the current score is not good for them!
"Gareth Bale blasts in the box! Liverpool equalize at last!

After Juventus successfully defended the first time, there was a problem in the organization of the counterattack offensive. Liverpool quickly launched a second offensive after completing the steal. Sane's containment effect, Eriksson made a timely pass, and Gareth Bale After cutting inside, he suddenly changed direction and wiped Chiellini's explosive shot to equalize the score for Liverpool!
1: 1.
Although the score was a tie, Liverpool's away goal is as precious as gold!

This means that even if Juventus can finally kill Liverpool, the Red Army only needs a 1:0 to eliminate Juventus and enter the Champions League semi-finals!
Whether Juventus can score again is still a question. Liverpool's control over the game has been significantly strengthened after the substitution in the second half!

This is the strength of the defending champion, so that the Serie A champion can't fully exert his own strength at his home court or at his doorstep!
There are almost 15 minutes left in the game, let's see if there is still a goal!
By the way, Gareth Bale once again played the role of Mr. Key at a critical moment. This Welsh superstar is an indispensable core for Liverpool! "

Situ Yunbing's slightly dignified expression eased after Gareth Bale's goal, while Allegri was completely frowning.

When Situ Yunbing clapped his hands for the goal, he paid more attention to the movements of Juventus.

He wants to see if Juventus will show some ambition when the score becomes a draw!

How to show it?

Of course, it is a substitution full of positive colors!

Boost your offense!

But what puzzled Situ Yunbing was that Allegri replaced Pirlo with veteran Barzagli.

It may be inevitable to change Pirlo, because Pirlo's physical fitness can't keep up.

But the replacement of Barzagli is open to question. This is an absolutely obvious substitution with a defensive color.

The recall of Situ Yunbing may secretly blame himself for withdrawing Coutinho early, but the environment and situation at that time were such that there was really no way to hesitate and wait and see.

Juventus did not show positive signals in the substitution, they strengthened their defense.

In fact, Situ Yunbing also knew that if it wasn't because Pogba happened to be injured and unable to participate in the battle during this period, Allegri would have more choices, including the second round a week later, Pogba would miss the game!

This was a blow to Juventus, but it also helped Juventus strengthen its beliefs and was more inclined to fight Liverpool in a defensive manner. But Pogba can bring more tactical options.

Situ Yunbing was pacing on the sidelines. After Juventus strengthened their defense, Liverpool's threat in the offense eased. Moreover, Liverpool also had concerns at this time. Fighting too aggressively could easily give the opponent an opportunity. The current result It's acceptable for Liverpool.

Situ Yunbing originally thought that the opponent would strengthen the offensive, but now it seems that Juventus is also extremely pragmatic!

Things can't be done and let nature take its course.

There is no stubbornness and unwillingness to resist and reverse the overall situation!
In this regard, Situ Yunbing could only give up the idea of ​​​​replacing Vardy.

Since the opponent can accept the current score without making risky efforts, there is no need for Liverpool to be more impatient than the opponent.

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Juventus fans were obviously a little disappointed. They seemed to be more anxious than the players on the field, and they kept cheering to urge the team to show a stronger performance.

But Juventus is still being suppressed by Liverpool, but the intensity of Liverpool's suppression has slowed down. After strengthening the defense, Juventus did not give Liverpool a better chance.

Buffon made another great save and Liverpool failed to rewrite the score.

When the full-time whistle blew, Juventus fans looked disappointed and concerned, wondering if the result would give them the confidence to head to Anfield for the second leg at Anfield a week later , is Juventus capable of knocking out the defending champion away from home?

There is only hope, no certainty.

Situ Yunbing and Allegri shook hands after the game. In an interview after the game, Situ Yunbing said frankly: "The result of 1:1 is not bad for Liverpool. We can accept this result, but not I will be satisfied with this result. The current situation will make the second leg a week later full of suspense. I think the probability of Liverpool and Juventus entering the semi-finals is still half and half, because as long as Juventus scores a goal at Anfield, then Liverpool It will be completely passive!"

When commenting on today's game, Situ Yunbing praised Sane.

"I replaced Mbappe and Coutinho to give more control and to bring some different changes in the attack. I am very happy that Eriksson and Sane have done a good job, especially Sane, he It can bring some different elements to the team. After his appearance, our impact and threat on the left have become significantly stronger, which has brought obvious advantages to the team in terms of overall tactics.

I'm happy with the transformation he's made in the past four months, and he's given me the troubles of being happy, but one thing hasn't changed, I always have faith in him when he's in the Liverpool shirt, I believe From now on, he can make greater contributions to the team and play the role of Mr. Key! "

The reason why the European media say that Liverpool is strong is that Liverpool has more choices in terms of staffing, and these choices are also very powerful.

Gareth Bell is very strong, but Gareth Bell and Sane are players with completely different characteristics. Even though they also have the advantage of speed, Gareth Bell is more able to play in open and close situations Excellent, but Sane can use delicate and flexible techniques in a small area and narrow space to bring advantages to the team. The use of players with different characteristics in different game situations will make Situ Yunbing more proficient in strategizing.

Looking at other giants in Europe, there is no second team that can have such a luxurious lineup like Liverpool, even Real Madrid and Barcelona!

The first leg of the quarter-finals of the Champions League kicked off Liverpool's season sprint, because they will not have any breathing room from now on!
After Situ Yunbing led the team back to Liverpool, the team will start preparing for the weekend's FA Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge after a short break!
Liverpool had protested that they did not want the semi-finals to be held at Stamford Bridge, but the FA did not agree. The semi-finals should be played at a neutral stadium. Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium are not suitable venues. Disson Park is also bound to be excluded. Considering the level of the stadium, Stamford Bridge is not the most suitable, but it is definitely one of the top options.

On Saturday, Chelsea just defeated Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, narrowing the gap with Liverpool by one more game. Liverpool currently leads Chelsea by 2 points in the context of one game less.

It seems that the key battle between Liverpool and Chelsea will be staged in the penultimate round of the league!
Before the FA Cup semi-finals, Situ Yunbing did not put pressure on Aston Villa. Instead, he sent blessings to Aston Villa coach Sherwood in a quack tone.

"I'm expecting Tim Sherwood to do well, it's the FA Cup semi-final, the oldest of modern football's semi-finals, and it's going to be a high-profile one.

We look forward to presenting a wonderful game to all fans! "

Stamford Bridge, Sunday night, FA Cup semi-final.

Situ Yunbing shook hands with Sherwood friendly before the game, and then stood on the sidelines waiting for the game to start.

Since Liverpool will face Juventus at home in three days, Situ Yunbing has reservations about the team's starting lineup for this game.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Kante, Coutinho.

Forwards: Mahrez, Vardy, Sane.

The snow hid the striker trident, as well as Eriksson and Casemiro.

After all, the priority of the Champions League is greater than that of the FA Cup.

Aston Villa did not perform well in the league and ranked lower in the standings, but they made it to the semi-finals in the FA Cup. After all, they still have a certain strength.

Relying on players like Benteke, Nzobia, Delph, and Cleverley, coupled with defensive counterattack tactics, they are still quite threatening.

However, in order to break through their dense defense, Situ Yunbing's starting attack group today is to be more creative and technically superior in offense!
When the game started, Liverpool still habitually pressed and attacked violently!

What surprised all the audience is that today Henderson has a sense of presence in the midfield. He performed more desperately than anyone else, which brought a clear advantage to Liverpool's midfield.

There was a good chemical reaction between Coutinho, Sane, and Mahrez, and both the left and right wings were able to play obvious threats.

Vardy's task is very simple, look for opportunities in the penalty area!
Aston Villa's counterattack failed repeatedly. The strong Benteke failed to show his strength in front of his compatriot Van Dijk, and Enzobia was also well controlled by Azpilicueta.

Before the end of the first half of the game, Sane knocked the ball across the penalty area in front of the bottom line on the left. Coutinho's deliberate leak after going forward was a stroke of genius, directly swaying Aston Villa defender Vlaar. Yes, and then Vardy quickly rushed to the front of the goal and shot the ball into the goal!

Liverpool take the lead in the FA Cup semi-final!
