Chapter 846 Two people hate each other and don't see each other!
In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Liverpool ushered in the challenge of Atletico Madrid.

The packed Anfield stadium is like a carnival that will never end!
When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium before the game, his popularity here was unmatched, and the fans cheered tirelessly for him. Some crazy fans have already tattooed his face on their bodies and proudly Show it to the outside world.

Situ Yunbing did not have a pre-match greeting with Simeone, both of them are true-tempered coaches.

Since the two sides dislike each other, they will not see each other.

Situ Yunbing sat on the coaching bench of the home team. If you follow the rules summarized by Fleet Street, you will definitely think that Situ Yunbing is confident in eliminating Atletico Madrid.

But this is not the case, but based on Atletico Madrid's style, there may not be many timely adjustments he may need to make on the sidelines.

Liverpool VS Atletico Madrid.

Perhaps before the game, many people had a certain foresight of what the matchup would look like.

Because Atletico Madrid's conservative and almost stereotyped image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over the years.

This will definitely not be a confrontation battle like Liverpool and Barcelona hitting the earth!
It will be a defensive overrun battle!

Simeone also sat on the coach's bench, waiting for the start of the game with a serious expression.

Although the two of them put on a posture of never getting in touch with each other.

But at the entrance of Fleet Street, Simeone still needs to thank Situ Yunbing.

Look at the current La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have the same points!
You must know that before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, after Barcelona was defeated by Real Madrid at the Nou Camp, Barcelona still leads Atletico Madrid behind them by as much as 1 points!
But in the two league games after the two games against Liverpool, Barcelona lost!

Lost away to Real Sociedad.

Lost at home to Valencia.

The three-game losing streak in the league caused Barcelona to be tied with points by Atletico Madrid!
And behind the two teams, Real Madrid is only 1 point behind!

Without the pressure and consumption caused by Liverpool to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona would never lose three consecutive league losses like a collapse!

But from another point of view, Liverpool won the league championship five rounds ahead of schedule, but Atletico Madrid still has to focus on competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid. It is hard to say whether Atletico Madrid's morale is boosted before the semi-finals of the Champions League, or the pressure is increasing. Much bigger!
The debut of the starters of the two teams may be a bit dimmer than the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but no one will doubt that the starters of the two teams can do something earth-shattering on the court!

The theme song of the Champions League sounded, stirring people's hearts. There is not much left for the two teams to reach the highest honor, and they will definitely go all out!
"Good evening, viewers, and welcome to the first leg of the semi-finals of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League!
The four teams that broke into the Champions League semi-finals this season are Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in La Liga.

The Spanish media is looking forward to the Madrid derby in the final, while the British Fleet Street is looking forward to the Premier League civil war again in the Champions League final!

Both expectations stand a chance of being fulfilled.

Manchester City needs to step over the corpse of Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid needs to end Liverpool's domination of European football!

Today we will live broadcast live commentary on the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid at the famous Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England.

In the 8-to-4 match, Liverpool eliminated the powerful Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid also eliminated Bayern Munich, who is invincible in the Bundesliga!
It can be said that the promotion of the two teams to the semi-finals has gone through the test of blood and fire, and they deserve their names.

The two teams met in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals two years ago. I believe fans of the two teams can still vividly remember the confrontation at that time. The content of the game may not be talked about by football fans, but the two teams formed a bridge. But it is an indisputable fact.

Even UEFA had to reiterate the field discipline of football games before the semi-finals, and the meaning outside the line was for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

Of course, UEFA does not want their biggest gold medal, the UEFA Champions League, to have violent incidents on the field during the semi-final stage of such global attention!

Of course, they also hope that the content of the competition can be more exciting and beautiful!
Well, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Liverpool started today at 433.
Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Koulibaly, Robertson.

Midfield: Kante, Eriksen, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho.

This starting lineup is not surprising, and it can also be regarded as Liverpool's strongest lineup today.

Atletico Madrid's start today is somewhat surprising, also 433.
Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juanfran, Godin, Lucas Hernandez, Felipe Luis.

Midfield: Gabi, Saul, Koke.

Forwards: Griezmann, Torres, Carrasco.

Simeone seems to have the courage to play against Liverpool in the away game, but I think Atletico Madrid will still be conservative as a whole!
Well, let's see how the two teams will perform in the game, let's watch the game together to reveal the answer! "

Situ Yunbing, who was sitting on the coach's bench, was indeed surprised by Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, but only a little bit, basically as expected.

With the massive fans cheering at Anfield Stadium, the game officially kicked off.

Although Atletico Madrid, which took the lead in kick-off, put on an aggressive formation of 433, they tried to control the ball more to avoid being speeded up by Liverpool.

Overall, Atletico Madrid did not show a strong aggressiveness after the start of the game.

When the Liverpool striker rushed into the frontcourt to fight back, Atletico Madrid launched a fast break due to the increasing risk of losing the ball. Griezmann tried to cooperate with Torres after waving the ball from the right side of the frontcourt, but Torres stopped the ball Coulibaly, who was robbed immediately, intercepted the ball.

Atlético de Madrid are still the best at counterattacking these years, so they won't lose against Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, and their opponents will give them a good counterattack space.

Liverpool's tactics today also followed Situ Yunbing's request, controlling and guarding against Atletico Madrid's counterattack!

Liverpool's fast break can't be played even if they want to, and the attack advances to a dangerous area, which is a positional battle!
Don't look at Atlético Madrid's 433 posture. When the ball is not at their feet, the forwards all retreat to their own half!

This makes Liverpool's offensive organization must be patient, and at the same time mobilize more power and frequently change their style of play in order to have a chance to pose a threat to their defense.

In the 5th minute of the game, Coutinho received a pass from Robertson on the left side of the front court. Coutinho knocked the ball back to the left and the ball went back to the left, but the line was deeper.

Eriksson slanted into the wing and took the lead. When Juanfran came to block him, Eriksson quickly knocked the ball across the penalty area.

Lewandowski blocked Godin behind him to respond, and hit the ball back to the left rib of the penalty area.

Coutinho, who cut inside, seemed to be able to take a shot, but Gabi was the first to put a shovel and sweep the ball out of the sideline.

Seeing this scene, the Liverpool fans in the stands felt very sorry.

But Situ Yunbing's expression was normal, not surprising.

If Atletico Madrid's defense is so easy to penetrate, what qualifications do they have to compete with Barcelona and Real Madrid?
What is the ability to eliminate Bayern Munich led by Guardiola? !
Atletico Madrid defended successfully, and Liverpool immediately changed their style of play.

After the sideline kick came out, Robertson decisively made a 45-degree cross from the side.

The football was hoisted into the right side of the penalty area.

Gareth Bale has already cut inside.

This trick may still be a threat against Barcelona, ​​but it is basically useless against Atletico Madrid.

Lucas Hernandez, a rookie trained by Atlético de Madrid, is only 182 cm tall, but he has good confrontation and accurate position selection. Facing this kind of attack, he is the first to get stuck and then jumps to make a header to clear the siege. Maintain a stable and safe state.

Atletico Madrid immediately organized a counterattack after consecutive successful defenses.

Although Saul, who also came from Atletico Madrid's youth training, "defected" from Real Madrid's youth training camp to Atletico Madrid in his youth, but he was able to get ahead in La Liga, I am afraid that not many players really care about their youth.

Saul took the lead in possession of the ball in the backcourt, and when Casemiro was pressing, he quickly completed a collision with Cork, and then saw Kanter rushing to intercept him when he ran quickly in the frontcourt.

Since the passing line to the right was blocked, Saul had no time to observe, so he passed the ball to the wing to find Carrasco.

Carrasco took the ball forward and tried to pass Azpilicueta. When he changed direction and broke through, Azpilicueta accurately blocked the opponent's connection with the football.

Azpilicueta is very difficult to defend Neymar, and he is always difficult to look at. He can only abandon the outside line if he closes the inside line.

After all, although Carrasco's small skills are available, they are not outstanding enough!

It's not top-notch in terms of speed either.

Atlético Madrid failed to counterattack, and the strikers retreated quickly. They are used to this rhythm. Even if they play some mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga, they seldom bombard their opponents indiscriminately.

Always keep enough patience in the limited opportunities, and then only need to seize one or two opportunities to win the game!
One data is very specific. When Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have the same points in the La Liga standings, Barcelona's goal difference exceeds Atletico Madrid by a full 30 points!
This means that Barcelona averages one more goal per game than Atletico Madrid!
If you only look at the goals, Barcelona will score almost 1.5 more goals per game than Atletico Madrid!
