Football’s First Defender
Chapter 720: No goals in 210 minutes
This direct free kick won by Saul on the offensive end is the best opportunity for Atletico Madrid to change the situation on the court.
This time a free kick at the top of the arc in the penalty area, many offensive players of the Atletico Madrid team have the ability to hit the goal directly with that kick, which can cause enough trouble for the opponent Liverpool.
Griezmann, Cork, Saul, the three core offensive players of Atletico, standing in front of the football, discussing the final free throw.
On the other hand, Liverpool retreated to the penalty area, and even drained a wall of 7 people, completely blocking the entire approach to the goal.
Mignole is also waiting on the goal line, with a teammate blocking the close corner, he only needs to control the back post area and wait for the ball.
He doesn't know how the opponent intends to complete this attack, but can only focus on the movements of every Atletico player before the free kick.
Cork takes the lead in the run-up, is it a feint? Still really fight?
"beated!"
"Cork's free kick hits the goal directly!"
"The speed of the ball is very fast, but this time Cork's shot did not cover the football. The ball was hit high and did not hit the goal frame."
Fortunately, Cork’s shot was not within the range of the goal frame. The speed of the ball was extremely fast. When it flew directly out of the baseline, Mignolet had not even had time to react and made any saves.
If you really hit a deciduous ball and fall within the range of the goal frame, then Liverpool may be really dangerous.
Atletico use their home court advantage. In overtime, even if there are not many offensive players, they can still occupy a certain advantage.
But Liverpool, who is a guest, won't catch it all.
In terms of personal ability, the several offensive players in Liverpool also have excellent personal offensive abilities. They can dominate an offense by one person, and all they need is an opportunity and possible offensive luck.
In overtime, Liverpool, which has been suppressed, finally found a chance to fight back before the end of the game.
Liverpool players are tired from running on the defensive end, and Atletico Madrid players are actually at their physical limits.
The reason why Atletico Madrid players performed better in overtime and achieved good suppressing power is that this is the home game, and the cheering of the fans on site can provide them with greater mental strength.
Two is the original iron-blooded quality of Atletico, allowing them to forcibly explode their full strength in the game.
For Liverpool, in the final moments of the game, the iron spirit that belongs to the "Red Army" began to show.
Not only is Liverpool on the defensive end, they can do a good job of defending Atletico Madrid. On the offensive end, they also start to try to create a greater threat to Atletico Madrid.
The so-called offensive opportunity, the closer the game is over, the easier it is to create.
In the case that the defensive players of both teams have physical problems, the offensive side occupies the initiative of the offense. With the initiative, there is a great possibility of offense and can launch a very threatening offense.
Liverpool’s threat of counterattack this time, in fact, in terms of deployment, it seems that there is no technical content.
In a tentative counterattack after finishing the defense in the backcourt, Henderson just passed the midfield and before he had time to pass the ball to his teammate in front, he was directly blocked by Atletico Madrid players with a foul.
This also gave Liverpool a chance to set the ball in the midfield area.
Several Liverpool offensive players chose to rush into the penalty area of Atletico Madrid.
Of course, because the serving distance is too long, the offensive threat is really limited, so Yang Feng and center defenders like Lovren did not go forward to join in the fun, but continue to be in the rear and do their own defensive tasks.
Henderson made a big kick and passed the ball into the penalty area of Atletico Madrid.
, however, when he finally made the ball, he suddenly shook his ankle and chose a smash.
directly buckled the ball to Coutinho not far in front.
Although Saúl is also marking Coutinho at Atletico Madrid, it is still a bit difficult to defend against Coutinho alone, not to mention that Coutinho is unintentional.
Everyone was attracted by a few Liverpool players and rushed in front of the penalty area to attract attention, but they did not expect that Liverpool's real killer was Coutinho.
Henderson's pass, close to the left flank, Coutinho even stopped, and directly got rid of Saul's defense and went straight to Atletico Madrid's penalty area.
Atletico Madrid's nearest defensive player is Juan Fran rushing over.
Juan Fran’s defensive forward is to limit Coutinho’s breakthrough forward.
was also to lower Coutinho's speed and give Saul who was chasing behind him time to catch up.
However, Coutinho did not slow down.
Maybe at full speed, you can't dribble the ball past Juan Fran's defense, but don't slow down, just pass the ball first.
Coutinho passed the ball to Lallana, who took it over, and he continued to rush forward.
Lallana took the ball with one foot and did not give the Atletico Madrid players any chance to grab the ball. He kept the ball and passed the ball directly to the left side of Atletico’s penalty area.
Coutinho exploded with his own speed and chased the football with all his strength, but it was too late for Juan Fran to turn around to chase.
Catch up with the football, before Godin's defense is in place~lightnovelpub.net~ Coutinho hit the goal directly on the left.
This volley hits the goal, the force is heavy, the ball is extremely fast, and it rushes to the back point to fly.
If there is no block, judging from the flight trajectory of the ball, it is definitely a wonderful shot.
However, even though Oblak, who has never had a chance to perform, still maintains his body's heat when he is tested, and guarantees his own game state.
A quick side flop, and the ball came directly out.
Coutinho’s shot was rejected by Oblak again. He did not become a Liverpool hero at the end of the game.
In the next few minutes of the game, both teams seemed very restrained.
After all, both teams played a very threatening offense in the second half of overtime and both had a chance to kill the game.
So instead of being seized by the opponent to complete the lore at the last moment, it is better to actually play a penalty shootout and bet on whose luck is better!
In addition to Atletico Madrid attempted a long shot from the outside and failed to achieve a very good offensive effect, the second half of overtime ended in peace.
30 minutes of overtime, both teams made their best efforts on the defensive end, and also had a certain performance on the offensive end.
However, the final score was still 0 to 0. The two teams played 210 minutes without a goal. It can only be said that this series has completely evolved into a defensive battle.
also gave everyone a glimpse of Liverpool, which is known for offensively, with the same excellent defensive ability.
The game also needs to rely on the final penalty shootout to win one point.
