Chapter 838 The starting hand is also king bomb!
Liverpool completed the defending Premier League title five rounds ahead of schedule on the weekend, and at the same time achieved the unprecedented achievement of four consecutive championships in England's top league!
But Barcelona suffered a losing streak away in the league!
They lost 0:1 away to Real Sociedad.

With 6 rounds left in La Liga, Barcelona's lead is only 3 points and 4 points, and Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid chasing them behind them put tremendous pressure on them!
Situ Yunbing focused on analyzing the Barcelona league. Enrique let Rakitic, Iniesta, Suarez, and Alba rest in rotation.

Messi, Neymar and other main players continued to play, but because they fell behind early, they replaced the main players in the second half.

Alba played more than 30 minutes, Iniesta played the entire second half, Rakitic played 20 minutes, but failed to help Barcelona turn things around in the away game!
It can be said that Barcelona's league is a bit hurt!
I didn't recharge my batteries and lost the game. The pressure was unprecedented!
Liverpool is waiting for Barcelona to attack at Anfield with four consecutive championships!

After training on Tuesday evening, Situ Yunbing attended the pre-match press conference as usual.

When asked by a reporter from Fleet Street about the status of Barcelona in the last round of the league, Situ Yunbing said with a smile: "You also asked a similar question a week ago. Barcelona lost to Real Madrid. Will Liverpool have a chance at home? Can you take advantage?
As a result, everyone has seen that Liverpool's loss so far this season has been at the Nou Camp.

I think Barcelona are not doing their best in the league, they are weighing and making trade-offs, in order to face the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals with a better posture.

Therefore, there is no reference for the last round of the league. We will use Barcelona's performance a week ago as a standard to study opponents. "

Next, the reporter asked Situ Yunbing how he would make a comeback at home. Situ Yunbing said frankly: "If we follow Barcelona's rhythm and play in their way, then we have almost no possibility of advancing. Since we are at Anfield, We have to play Liverpool's style, play our characteristics and strengths, this is how we win."

Finally, Situ Yunbing answered the question about the team's personnel in the starting lineup. It is a good sign that Liverpool is not currently troubled by injuries. At least Situ Yunbing will not be stretched in terms of team formation.

Barcelona can also come up with the strongest lineup, so the upcoming game still makes the fans full of reverie.

Enrique played down the impact of the defeat in the league in an interview before the trip. He only used the sentence that Barcelona still has a clear advantage in the La Liga championship to prevaricate all questions about the defeat in the league, and then said that a guest at Anfield would be Barcelona's most important game of the season, this is Barcelona's decisive battle!

In mid-April, Barcelona visited Liverpool.

The football frenzy set off in the city made everyone feel the huge influence brought by the Champions League.

Under the night, Anfield was brightly lit. When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium, he took the lead to shake hands with Enrique before the game. The two nodded at each other. Without any exchange of greetings, they stood in the coach command area and waited for the game. start.

Anfield erupted in deafening cheers as the starters from both teams entered the pitch, and the din was heart-stirring.

Isn't this a decisive battle for Liverpool?

"Good evening, viewers and friends, welcome to the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Liverpool at Anfield at home against Barcelona.

A week ago, Liverpool lost 3:4 to Barcelona in the away game. Although they lost, Liverpool scored 3 goals in the away game, which means that at Anfield today, if Liverpool only 1:0 , 2:1, or 3:2 even a small victory can eliminate Barcelona!

Last weekend, Liverpool successfully defended their title in five league rounds ahead of schedule, achieving a great achievement of four consecutive Premier League titles, while Barcelona suffered a defeat, which cast a shadow on the road to defending the title. The challenges they encountered made their pressure could be bigger.

In terms of personnel, Situ Yunbing's team has more room for adjustment, which is their advantage.

Barcelona needs to withstand the pressure and play in this game no less than a week ago at the Nou Camp to hope to advance to the Champions League semi-finals!
Next, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams.

Liverpool starting 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Henderson, Coutinho, Kante.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Sane.

Situ Yunbing's starting lineup today is quite surprising. Eriksson and Casemiro are all on the bench, while Sane and Henderson unexpectedly entered the starting lineup.

We all know that Situ Yunbing is a master of tactics, and his tactical attainments are considered to be the best in European football today!

Just like after the first leg a week ago, even the Spanish media believed that Situ Yunbing helped Liverpool turn the tide. When the team fell behind by two goals, Situ Yunbing stabilized the team and made correct and bold adjustments. Helping Liverpool equalize the score before the end of the first half, and Liverpool's last-minute goal in the second half also reflects Situ Yunbing's keen sense of the game situation.

Therefore, his unexpected formation today must have his strategic thinking.

Barcelona's starting lineup here is also 433.
Goalkeeper: Bravo.

Defenders: Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba.

Midfield: Busquets, Iniesta, Rakitic.

Forwards: Messi, Suarez, Neymar.

Barcelona's starting XI is unchanged from a week ago.

To a certain extent, we can also say that the thickness of Barcelona's lineup is worrying. Playing against Real Madrid, and then to the two rounds of the top match against Liverpool, Barcelona has not carried out a rotation. In the league a few days ago, only Suarez played the whole game Did not play, other players have also appeared in battle!
We know that Liverpool's home game has always been terrifying, and we don't know whether the exhausted Barcelona can play better in the away game to deal with Liverpool's suppression!

The game at Camp Nou was a sensation all over the world, and it was hailed as the most exciting peak matchup in European football this season. But today at Anfield, can the two teams still play an earth-shattering and wonderful battle?

We will wait and see! "

Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and looked at the field calmly. After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, accompanied by the exciting cheers at Anfield, Liverpool launched a mad attack on Barcelona!
Kick off!

After all, Enrique couldn't let Barcelona play extreme defense in the away game, but it is obvious that Barcelona was relatively cautious in the away game!
But this is not enough to withstand Liverpool's strong fast break!
Henderson, who made his debut today, quickly passed the ball diagonally to the right after cooperating with Coutinho in the frontcourt.

Gareth Bale quickly stepped in and touched the ball in front of Alba and then changed to a crosscut. Before Rakitic was in place to block it, he shot and blasted the goal!
It was almost 30 yards from the goal. This distance gave Bravo enough time to react, but Bravo barely blocked the ball!

The exclamation of the Liverpool fans echoed in Anfield, followed by thunderous applause.

When Alves tried to control the ball on the wing, Sane had already pressed and harassed him close to him. Alves pulled the ball to the outside and barely passed it straight.

Messi, who was preparing to respond at the back of the center line, did not expect Robertson to kill from the side faster, like a whirlwind!
Robertson took the ball forward and continued to instigate the offensive. When Iniesta rushed towards him, he immediately hit the ball across the middle. Henderson controlled the ball. When Rakitic came back at this time, Henderson directly put the ball The ball is sent to the middle of the penalty area.

Lewandowski took the initiative to respond with a kick and knocked back diagonally.

Busquets turned around and was about to shovel Coutinho, but Coutinho also kicked the ball straight!
The football rolled into the left flank of the penalty area.

Sane's swift inside cut made Alves and Pique feel very tricky.

Pique rushed to intercept the first time, and Sane tried to pick the ball and pass it.

Gareth Bell has moved in from a far point!

When the football just took off, Pique happened to head the ball out of the baseline on the football line!
"Wow! This start is not surprising to be honest, Liverpool pushed the pace of the game to the limit!

At the same time, the whole team is actively attacking and defending, even the forwards have to participate in the crazy counter-grab!

Now it's up to Barcelona to withstand Liverpool's attacking pressure. "

Liverpool's corner attack failed, and the football was cleared by Busquets.

Neymar started a quick attack on the left side of the backcourt. Under the harassment of Azpilicueta and Kante, he stopped and pulled the ball back. He was about to shift the offensive, but Coutinho destroyed the ball!

Liverpool's team is running almost non-stop today!
This is the advantage they have accumulated for a season, and if they don't use it, it will be useless!

Enrique looked dignified. If you compare the pressure Barcelona put on Liverpool in the first round, then in terms of rhythm and impact, Liverpool are stronger at Anfield!

Because Barcelona's offensive pressure still has technical advantages superimposed!
On Liverpool's side, the rhythm has been raised to the fastest speed, and at the same time superimposed team siege and impact confrontation!
The psychological pressure and fatigue after Barcelona's consecutive battles, coupled with the unfavorable factors of being a guest, Barcelona's disadvantages are so great that the overall defense line is completely fragmented and out of touch!
And the disadvantage and passivity of defense make the offense unable to connect well!

If you only rely on the striker trident, then at least you need players in the midfield and backcourt who can play the role of offensive engine!
But now Barcelona doesn't even have such a role!
