Football’s First Defender
Chapter 597: Disadvantage
"The season of the UEFA Champions League final, with the referee's whistle, officially begins!"
"Liverpool takes the lead in kick-off. "
"These two teams are double champions in their respective domestic leagues."
"This season's league and cup championships have been won. No matter who wins, the team that wins the Champions League today will receive the honor of the Triple Crown."
"I believe that such an honor will enable many players to play their best game state in this game."
"We saw the camera turn to the two coaches on the sidelines. Juventus’ Allegri and Liverpool’s Rogers are both European football and fresh blood in the coaching industry. So'young' is more than many old men. The coach, leading the team to the Champions League final, we can see how fast the tactical changes in European football are."
After taking the lead in gaining possession of the ball, in the finals, Liverpool used pre-determined game tactics for the purpose of seeking stability in the finals, using the ball in the midfield and backfield, familiarizing themselves with the rhythm of the game, and allowing players to enter the game immediately.
And today, Juventus's tactical choices are quite radical.
did not focus on the defensive arrangement in the midfield, today's Juventus chose a very aggressive defensive front pressure.
Most of the midfielders and frontcourt players rushed in frantically and made a frontcourt press, which caused great pressure to Liverpool's transfer ball in an instant.
"Moreno, missed the ball!"
At the beginning of the game, facing Morata's forward push, Moreno kicked the ball from the backcourt and kicked it directly to Marchisio not far away.
Juventus immediately launched a counterattack on the spot, and many players, when Moreno made a mistake, were actually unmarked.
Marchisio made a diagonal pass from the right side, and directly looked for Tevez in the empty position in front of the big penalty area.
It’s just that, with this goal, Vidal and Tevez’s runs overlapped, and they did not open enough space in front of the big penalty area to allow Liverpool’s defense to focus on this point.
Although Tevez completed a shot first, but Yang Feng, who was fully defended, stretched out his leg to complete the block and destruction of this shot, without letting the ball directly threaten the goalkeeper Mignolet behind.
Juventus's first offensive did not work.
"Moreno! Cheer up!"
Hearing Yang Feng's call, Moreno waved his hand apologetically. He didn't expect that under Morata's pressure just now, he would suddenly panic in his heart, causing the passing technique to deform.
It won't work in the future. It's better to clear the siege with a big foot, which is better than directly "assisting" the opponent.
Rogers on the sidelines has a better perspective and can see how determined Juventus' overall lineup is.
A full 6 people were in Liverpool's half-court press, and at least 4 people were in the 30-meter area of Liverpool, rushing to press.
Juventus’ goal is very clear, which is to attack Liverpool’s transmission and control from the source, so that Liverpool can not organize an attack with peace of mind, and try to incorporate the rhythm of the game slowly into Juventus’ own rhythm.
I have to say that in the past, Liverpool used to push others in the frontcourt. Today, being pushed by opponents like this has really caused a huge interference to Liverpool's conduction in the backcourt.
"Moreno! Another stop error occurred!"
"The performance of this young full-back from Spain today is very bad."
Not only Moreno, in fact, everyone has been affected by Juventus players' full sprint and fight.
Yang Feng, who had received the ball before, did not dare to push the ball at full speed when Tevez rushed over, so he could only keep the ball and look for Moreno, who had already opened the space to the left baseline.
It's just that Moreno originally planned to make a big-footed clearance after stopping the ball before Morata's press came.
But the nervous and impatient mental state made this stop the ball again, and Moreno also made a huge mistake.
The ball did not stop and rolled directly out of the baseline. Liverpool gave Juventus a chance for a corner kick in less than 2 minutes.
"For the first time in his career, he reached the Champions League final. For a 22-year-old like Moreno, it is indeed a huge psychological pressure!"
This may also be a major hidden danger for the Liverpool team.
is the whole team of young players, there are too many.
A team participating in the Champions League final, the average age of the starting lineup is not more than 24 years old!
There is no outstanding team on the bench to smooth out the age difference. Liverpool’s starting lineup is now a pure young guard.
Young people are full of vigor and motivation, but correspondingly, young people are also prone to make various mistakes in the game.
is like Moreno's opening performance.
Sometimes, in the game, if you want to express yourself too much, you may make various mistakes.
Experience, in the finals of such large-scale events, is actually very valuable.
"Don't be afraid! Don't panic! Show your usual playing state!"
Yang Feng knew that for the first time he could shout to Moreno to make him concentrate, but after two consecutive mistakes, it was no longer a problem of mistakes, it must be Moreno's own psychological fluctuations.
At this time, the roar has no other effect except to continue to increase Moreno's psychological burden. At this time, we need to encourage him, persuade him, and let him resume the game state!
At the beginning, through the opponent's mistakes, he got consecutive offensive opportunities, which also made Allegri on the sidelines quite confident in his tactical choice.
After all, Liverpool is not Barcelona. Although it is also a pass and control team, it has not reached its peak~lightnovelpub.net~ And this set of frontcourt press tactics prepared for Barcelona, Barcelona may not be able to pass the ball comfortably, let alone Said Liverpool.
corner kick was taken by veteran Pirlo.
As a veteran who has played for many giants, Pirlo lacks experience the most.
No one thought that with Pirlo, a technical player like that, as he grows older, he can continue to radiate the "second spring" in different positions.
Near the age of retirement, Pirlo can still be the main force of Juventus, and together with Juventus, stand on the stage of the Champions League final again.
A strong curve kick, Pirlo sent the ball directly to the penalty spot.
In front of the door, the two sides were fighting for a good player. While still fighting, Vidal suddenly jumped in from the back point to form a line with Pirlo.
A shook his head, but Pirlo's take-off height was still affected by Henderson, who was defending himself.
just hit the bottom of the ball, and the ball was hit directly out of the bottom line, without any impact on Liverpool's goal.
Juventus, using their full preparations and extremely varied frontcourt pressing tactics, directly occupied a considerable initiative from the very beginning of the game.
and the continuous successful defense in a short period of time, caused Liverpool players to make mistakes, and completed two-footed shots, but also made countless Liverpool fans sweat for this Champions League final.
