In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Liverpool ushered in the challenge of Atletico Madrid.

The crowded Anfield Stadium is like a carnival that never ends!

When Situ Yunbing walked into the stadium before the game, his popularity here was unmatched. The fans cheered for him tirelessly. There are already crazy fans tattooing his head on their body and proudly. Show it to the outside world.

Situ Yunbing did not exchange pre-match greetings with Simeone, both of them were coaches of true temperament.

Since the two are disgusted, they will not meet each other.

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

But this is not the case, but according to Atletico Madrid's style, he may need to make few timely adjustments on the sidelines.

Liverpool VS Atletico Madrid.

Maybe before the game, many people had some foresight about what this matchup would be like.

Because the conservative and almost rigid image of Atletico Madrid has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in these years.

This will definitely not be an offensive battle like Liverpool and Barcelona hit the earth!

It will be a defensive over-limit battle!

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

Although the two put on a posture of old and dead unconnected.

But at the entrance of the fleet, Simeone still has to thank Situ Yunbing.

Look at the current La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have the same points!

We must know that before the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona was defeated by Real Madrid at the Nou Camp, Barcelona still led the Atletico Madrid by 6 points!

But in the two league games after Liverpool, Barcelona lost!

Lost away to Real Sociedad.

Lost to Valencia at home.

The three-game losing streak of the league led to Barcelona being tied with Atletico Madrid!

And behind the two teams, Real Madrid is only 1 point behind!

If there is no pressure and consumption caused by Liverpool to Barcelona, ​​Barcelona will definitely not look like a collapse in the league's three-game losing streak!

But from another point of view, Liverpool won the league five rounds ahead of schedule, but Atletico Madrid has to be distracted from competing with Barcelona and Real Madrid. It is hard to say whether Atletico Madrid's morale before the Champions League semi-finals is boosted or the pressure is increasing. Much bigger!

The starting players of the two teams are on the stage. Compared with the Champions League quarter-finals, the stars may be faint, but no one will doubt that the starting players of the two teams can do something earth-shattering on the court!

The theme song of the Champions League sounded and stirred people's hearts. There is not much left for the two teams to rush to the highest honor. They will definitely go all out!

"Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the first round 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 are looking forward to the Madrid Derby in the final, while the British Fleet Street is looking forward to the Premier League civil war in the Champions League final again!

Both expectations have a chance to be realized.

Manchester City need to step on the corpse of Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has to end Liverpool's rule of European football!

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

In the match of 8 to 4, Liverpool eliminated the powerful Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid also eliminated Bayern Munich, who was unbeatable in the Bundesliga!

It can be said that the promotion of the two teams to the semi-finals is the test of blood and fire.

The two teams met in the Champions League semi-finals two years ago. At that time, I believe that the fans of the two teams are still vivid. The content of the game may not be talked about by football fans, but the two teams formed Liangzi. It is an indisputable fact.

Even UEFA had to reiterate the discipline of the football game before the semi-finals. The off-line means it was for Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

Of course, UEFA does not want their biggest golden sign, the UEFA Champions League match in the semi-finals of such a worldwide attention stage violence incident!

Of course, they also hope that the content of the game can be more exciting and beautiful!

Okay, let me introduce the starting lineups of both sides.

Liverpool started 433 today.

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Van Dijk, Coulibaly, Robertson.

Midfielder: Kanter, Eriksson, Casemiro.

Forwards: Gareth Bale, Lewandowski, Coutinho.

This starting lineup is not surprising, and it can be called the strongest lineup of Liverpool today.

Atletico Madrid's starting today is somewhat surprising, it is also 433.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Juan Fran, Godin, Lucas Hernandez, Felipe Luiz.

Midfielder: Gabi, Saul, Cork.

Forwards: Griezman, 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, when it comes to how the two teams will play in the game, let us watch the game together to reveal the answer! "

Sitting on the coaching bench, Situ Yunbing was indeed surprised by Atletico Madrid's starting lineup, but it was just a little bit, basically not surprising.

With the huge support of fans at Anfield Stadium, the game officially kicked off.

Atletico Madrid, the first to kick-off the ball, despite the aggressive formation of 433, they tried to control the ball more to avoid being brought by Liverpool's speed.

In general, Atletico Madrid did not show strong aggressiveness after the start of the game.

When the Liverpool striker rushed into the frontcourt and counter-robbed, due to the increasing risk of losing the ball, Atletico Madrid launched a fast break. Griezmann tried to cooperate with Torres passing after a right wing from the frontcourt, but Torres stopped the ball. Koulibaly, who was robbed, cut the ball off.

Atletico Madrid is still best at counterattacking these years, so they are not falling behind against Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, and their opponents will give them a good counterattack space.

Liverpool's tactics today also followed the requirements of Situ Yunbing to control and guard against Atletico Madrid's counterattack!

Liverpool's fast break can't be beaten, and the attack is advanced to the danger zone is a battle of positions!

Atletico Madrid put on a 433 posture. When the ball was not at their feet, the forwards all retreated to their own half!

This makes Liverpool's offensive organization must be patient, and at the same time mobilize more strength and frequent changes in play, only to have the opportunity to pose a threat to their defense.

In the 5th minute of the game, Coutinho received Robertson's pass from the left side of the frontcourt. After he took the ball, he changed to crosscut. When he met Gabi and at the same time led Juan Fran to the penalty area to return to defense, Coutinho kicked the ball against the line, and the football returned to the left, but the line was deeper.

Eriksson slid into the flank to get in the first place. When Juan Fran blocked him, Eriksson quickly knocked the ball across the penalty area.

Lewandowski blocked Godin behind to catch the ball and knocked the ball back into the left side of the penalty area.

Coutinho, who was inside, could start a shot, but saw Gaby take the first tackle to sweep the ball beyond the sideline.

Seeing this scene, Liverpool fans in the stands are very pity.

But Situ Yunbing looked as usual, not surprisingly.

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's defense was successful, and Liverpool immediately changed their style of play.

After the ball came out of the sideline, Robertson decisively kicked a 45-degree pass from the wing.

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

Gareth Bale is already in place.

This move may be a threat to Barcelona, ​​but playing Atletico Madrid is basically useless.

Although the rookie Lucas Hernandez trained by Atletico Madrid is only 182 cm tall, he has good confrontation and accurate position selection. In the face of this kind of attack, he takes the lead and then jumps and headers to clear the siege, so that the defense is always Maintain a stable and safe state.

Atletico Madrid also immediately organized a counterattack after the success of continuous defense.

Saúl, also from the youth training of Atlético de Madrid, although he “defected” from the Real Madrid youth academy to Atletico Madrid in his youth, but to be able to make a difference in La Liga, I am afraid that not many players will really care about their young stance.

Saul took the lead in the backcourt, and when he encountered Casemiro's push, he quickly completed the wall collision with Cork, and then saw Kanter rushing to intercept him when he moved quickly to the frontcourt.

As the pass line to the right was blocked, Saúl 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 cut the connection between the opponent and the football.

Azpilicueta is very strenuous to defend Neymar, always taking care of the first place. To block the inside line, he can only abandon the outside line. In the sports battle, he can't keep pressing at all times, but there is no problem defending Carrasco.

After all, although Carrasco's little skills are available, they are not good enough!

The speed is not top-notch.

Atletico Madrid did not succeed in the counterattack, and the forward players quickly withdrew. They are accustomed to such a rhythm, even if they are playing some mid-lower teams in La Liga, they rarely press their opponents to bombard.

Always keep enough patience in the limited opportunities, and then only need to seize one or two opportunities to win the game!

One statistic is very specific. When Atletico Madrid and Barcelona share the same score in the La Liga standings, Barcelona's goal difference exceeds that of Atletico Madrid by 30!

This means that Barcelona averaged one more goal per game than Atletico Madrid!

If you only look at goals, Barcelona will average 1.5 more goals per game than Atletico Madrid!
