Chapter 458

After stealing the ball, Van Dijk looked back at the referee, and after confirming that there was no foul, he directly kicked up and passed the ball towards Mane on the left.

Kimmich rushed forward quickly, jumped high, and after colliding with Mane in mid-air, the ball hit the latter's head and flew out of the sideline.

drop!
Defensive foul, Liverpool throw-in.

The two controversial penalties in the opening game made Bayern fans dissatisfied, and there was booing immediately at the scene.

Rossi got up from the turf and looked at Van Dyke.

The most likely Shiyiwei in the future, his speed and responsiveness are really not covered.

And he tackled the ball very decisively, it was a clean steal just now.

Thinking of facing such an excellent central defender for the next 90 minutes, Rossi was both nervous and excited.

Robertson threw the ball to Mane, and the Bayern players immediately stepped forward to interfere.

The coaches of both sides know that midfield defense is the most effective way to intercept the opponent's counterattack.

When Mane was holding the ball, full-back Kimmich did not step forward to interfere, but stepped back to mark Robertson, who was plugging in at any time.

Boateng premised on intercepting Mane's pass and breakthrough in the ribs.

Teammate Martinez immediately rushed to help defend.

Mane suddenly went straight forward, trying to pass to his teammate who had already lapped.

But Robertson did not start forward, because Kimmich had already seen through Mane's ribs to attract the defense, and would go straight to the wing.

Therefore, at the moment he passed the ball, Kimmich had already run back one step ahead of time.

Robertson saw that the opponent had withdrawn the defense in advance, so he naturally gave up the forward attack.

After the ball was taken by Bayern, Liverpool did not retreat. Their three strikers chose to press forward at the first time.

After driving the ball wide, Liverpool piled up six players on the wing in an instant and pressed.

Klopp's oppression tactics changed from the usual pursuit of width oppression, but concentrated forces to form vertical oppression in the middle.

This kind of aggressive tactics will make the team form a strong threat of oppression on the strong side, but there is no protection at all for the weak side.

Sure enough, Kimmich saw Alaba on the other side raising his hands for the ball, and there was no defensive player around him. He knocked the ball horizontally to Boateng, and then transferred the ball to the weak side through him.

But the Liverpool players seemed to have guessed that they would play this way. At the moment when Kimmich passed the ball, Firmino quickly moved forward, occupying the space of Bayern's lateral transfer, and moved towards Boateng who was about to receive the ball.

In this way, Kimmich's pass is very likely to make his teammates fall into the opponent's robbery, which is an irresponsible pass.

Even if Boateng can catch the ball smoothly, his transfer line to the other side will be cut off, and he can only choose to pass back.

In this way, Kimmich, who was holding the ball on the wing, didn't know how to choose a suitable receiving point for a while.

Liverpool also took advantage of his hesitation, and the two forwards quickly shrank and surrounded, trying to double-team Kimmich.

In desperation, Kimmich passed goalkeeper Neuer back.

But Liverpool's No.3 forward pressed forward quickly, forcing Neuer to pass the ball forward.

Thiago, in midfield, turned his back to stop the ball, but was intercepted from behind by Liverpool captain Henderson who shot out from behind.

Fabinho did not stop the ball, but directly picked the ball to the wing.

Salah, who retreated to the center line, observed Arnold who was advancing forward before stopping the ball, and turned half-turned to sweep the ball to the front.

Arnold, who has enough space to sprint, started the [-]-meter sprint stage and sprinted all the way with the ball.

Alaba, who was chasing back, continued to interfere, and at the moment Arnold slammed the ball, he fell sideways and shoveled the ball out of the sideline.

Arnold served, and center Firmino retreated to catch the ball, bringing out Boateng's defense.

After he resisted the confrontation and half-turned the ball straight, Bayern's Martinez appeared on the passing line in time and used a sliding tackle to break the ball.

Martinez got up quickly and gave the ball to Thiago.

After getting rid of Henderson's defense in place, Thiago saw his teammate advancing from the left and sent a long pass over the top.

Rossi looked at the ball while running, first unloaded the ball with his thigh, and then moved the ball forward with his right foot.

The smart stop and sudden stop did not allow him to tear through Liverpool's defense.

Joe Gomez, who replaced Matip in the starting lineup, turned around and chased back very quickly. The moment Rossi dialed the ball, he stretched out his foot and poked the ball away from Rossi's feet.

Fast-paced offense and defense, the process is simply suffocating.

The fans didn't dare to take a big breath, for fear that the opponent would rush to the goal in an instant.

Klopp's high pressure seems to give the opponent a chance to attack on the weak side.

In fact, this is a defensive trap he left for the opponent.

Once the opponent intends to transfer the ball, Liverpool players will immediately form oppression and interference, forcing the opponent to make mistakes.

In response to Liverpool's quick counterattack after stealing, Heynckes' tactic is to let the full-backs keep an eye on the forwards of the opponent's wide players, and let the midfielder Martinez check for gaps in the defense at any time to block Liverpool's sharp counterattack.

In response to Bayern's rib attack, Klopp's adjustment is to use the faster Joe Gomez to mark the erratic Rossi.

The head coaches of both sides also sank, quickly returned to the rest area, and took out the tactical board.

After several rounds of probing, they were clear in their hearts, and they all made detailed arrangements for each other's pre-match tactics.

Facing Bayern's orderly defense and interception, Liverpool made a change first, allowing Henderson to insert diagonally from the midfield to the wing, quickly forming a numerical advantage on the wing.

In the 10th minute, Henderson, who slanted into the side, received a high ball from his teammate and headed back to the top.

After Salah took the ball from the wing, he dribbled into the penalty area from the ribs and shot a low shot to the near corner of the goal.

Bayern captain Neuer quickly fell to the ground and blocked the ball out of the baseline with his hand.

Liverpool took a tactical corner kick, Mane moved to the wing, trying to form a cooperation with Salah, threatening Bayern's goal.

The two are Liverpool's fast horses on the wing. They can not only break through the wing, but also cut inside and use dribbling to disrupt the defense.

Under the continuous pressure of the two, Bayern's formation was pressed so flat that the defense outside the penalty area was lax.

Salah suddenly made an inverted triangle pass, and Wijnaldum shot from the ribs, but unfortunately it was higher than the crossbar.

Under the continuous offensive pressure of Liverpool, Bayern could only retreat.

In the full 15 minutes, Liverpool had completed three shots, while Bayern had none.

Heynckes was also very anxious about this, his face flushed red, and his expression was very scary.

In the past, when Heynckes was commanding off the court, his cheeks were always flushed with emotion.

But this season, since taking over the team halfway, no matter what kind of situation he faces, the old coach's face has never been so serious.

Even if it lost to Barcelona 1:3, there has never been such a situation.

The Champions League final finally made his heart, which had been silent for a long time, feel excited again.

Under the command of the coach, Bayern finally ushered in an offensive opportunity.

Thiago picked a pass from the backcourt, and center back Joe Gomez jumped to the top. Not only did he not touch the ball, but he gave Rossi a single-handed opportunity.

Van Dijk quickly approached him and quickly formed a defense.

When arranging Joe Gomez as a central defender, Klopp took this situation into consideration.

Therefore, Van Dijk has been procrastinating at the end so that he can check for gaps and make up for gaps at any time.

Facing Mr. Golden Ball Rossi, the Dutch central defender did not dare to be careless. He defended sideways and retreated while fighting.

Rossi was advancing forward, knocking the ball with the heel of his left foot to the other side, swaying Van Dijk's defense, and cutting inward towards the center.

Van Dijk was careful enough, but he never expected that Rossi's left foot technique was so good.

He quickly kept his body balanced and moved quickly in the direction of Rossi's breakthrough.

Rossi was also amazed by Van Dijk's physical fitness and his ability to quickly adjust the defensive balance.

Fortunately, I didn't plan to continue dribbling the ball. Instead, I chose to pass the ball immediately after passing the defense.

Lewandowski in front of the goal, under the interference of Fabinho, forcibly pushed the far corner of the goal, and was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson.

Just one fight, let each other know the opponents they must defeat in this game.

Rossi, Lewandowski,
vs
Van Dyke, Fabinho.
