Therefore, Allegri began to let his formation press back and recycle, and Liverpool did not need much effort to start possessing the ball, occupying the initiative in attack, and frequently approaching the 30 area of the Juventus penalty area.

But in this area, it is very difficult for Liverpool to score in, Juventus is such a team, standing very well in a passive situation, their co-defense ability is quite strong, Zhang Yuan has been greatly restrained on the side, several times tried to form a cooperation with Firmino and wanted to force the penalty area, but the result was too much failure, sometimes everyone's tacit understanding can not be in place, and sometimes Juventus's midfield and backfield are simply cut off.

For a while, the pitch fell into a stalemate, Klopp watched the situation on the field from the sidelines with his heart, and any mentality of ignoring Juventus' counter-attacking ability is unacceptable, don't look at Liverpool's attack at this time looks decent, but in essence, it poses very little threat.

Liverpool are not as good at keeping the ball at their feet for as long as Juventus, sometimes failing to find the ball and simply crossing it, and it will be too difficult for Firmino to make a difference in the bag between Chiellini and Bonucci.

As a central defender, general speed is a disadvantage, but Juventus can do a good job, on the one hand, their backline and Buffon have a high degree of tacit understanding, keeping a very good distance, Zhang Yuan has tried three times to pass low in the ribs into the small penalty area, trying to let Firmino through a keen sense of smell to grab points, but all failed, Buffon's attack, Chiellini's bold tackle to make such a threat invisible.

On the other hand, Chiellini's speed is not slow, he is a fullback, the speed is not bad, and Firmino himself is not the kind of very fast striker, Chiellini has all the advantages of a perfect central defender in essence, he has height, excellent prediction, and is very fierce, there are a lot of small movements, the speed is not bad, if Zhang Yuan wants to choose the best defender he has worked with in his mind must be Chiellini, he has worked with many excellent central defenders, such as Degan, Ramos and others, but he thinks it is Chiellini who is the most powerful of them.

However, Chiellini also has some moments when he is similar to Ramos, making some low-level mistakes, and no matter how good the centre-back is, it is inevitable that such embarrassing moments, but Chiellini did not make any mistakes today.

Allegri is also anxious on the sidelines, Liverpool has nothing to do with Juventus' defense for the time being, but Juventus's counterattack is also difficult to work, mainly Pogba's point Kante is blocked to death, in the counterattack process, don't look at Cuadrado's speed, but in fact, Juventus's most focused use is Pogba, Pogba plays left midfielder, but his long pass scheduling ability is good, is the guarantee of Juventus' offensive imagination, but today he can't play a little, Kante can't follow him like a shadow, but once Pogba gets the ball in the backfield, Kante can always appear in time to interfere with him。

"The game has been going on for more than 30 minutes, but the situation on the pitch is very stalemate, Liverpool has completed 4 shots on goal, but there are not many tests for Buffon, Juventus's defense line is not blown, it is indeed very tenacious, Liverpool is difficult to penetrate their defense!" He Wei commented, "According to this, this first half is very likely to be a draw!"

"Yes, Liverpool still lacks a little admiration when dealing with defensive masters like Juventus, Zhang Yuan's performance during this period is actually good, affected by the intensive deployment of the front of the Juventus penalty area, he had to stay away from the penalty area, and delivered a few threatening balls to the penalty area, it should be said that he still shocked his former teammates in a cold sweat, but Liverpool's forward line is really lacking a battering ram, Firmino's goal efficiency is not high, he is a containment assist striker, let him stand in the penalty area today to complete the work of the center, it is really difficultCao Yang objectively commented on Firmino's role.

What he said is the truth, Liverpool is leading the attack, but there are not many people in the penalty area, the reason is of course because this is not an ordinary game, this is against Juventus, and the opponent's attacking ability is not covered, if too many troops are invested in the opponent's penalty area, once the gap in the Liverpool midfield is caught, it is very dangerous, Klopp can only let his players choose more carefully when inserting.

This leads to not many people in the penalty area, Firmino often has a move to contain the penalty area in the league, but today Juventus is to let Liverpool attack, and Firmino can only occupy a pile in the penalty area, otherwise Liverpool has no one in the penalty area, it can't penetrate in the first place, and there is no one in the penalty area, and even the side cross can't be played.

The positional attack can not be penetrated, which also fully illustrates the problem of Liverpool's ability, Barcelona plays the attack is repeatedly torn, making it difficult for the opponent to parry, and it is difficult for Liverpool to do this, Liverpool's shortcomings are defenders, fullbacks are shortcomings, the attack is not very strong, the level is not high, it is difficult to form a strong suppression of Juventus on the side, it is barely okay on Zhang Yuan's side, Zhang Yuan alone has restrained the defensive attention of Juventus on the left side, and Klein has a chance to insert.

However, Klein's level is not top-notch, and his characteristics are also single, always making crosses, which is tantamount to working in vain, and Juventus is very easy to deal with.

After attacking for so long, the confidence of Liverpool players has been worn out a lot, they used to think about how terrible they are in the Premier League, they are a very attacking team in the league, scoring more than 60 goals, and in the Champions League, they are also the same as Barcelona, Real Madrid The attacking team, but in the face of the impregnable Juventus Liverpool has nothing to do, and it is normal for confidence to be eroded.

But Zhang Yuan knows that playing such a team requires patience, and it is not okay to be impatient, of course he is right, but Liverpool's offensive cannot last, after attacking for more than 20 minutes, Liverpool has to attack and cannot go up, and Juventus gradually begins to regain lost ground.

Klopp was very anxious on the sidelines, we really can't let Juventus play their own rhythm, he shouted loudly that the team should strengthen the high pressing, and press back Juventus's offensive momentum, but failed, Juventus won the Champions League, a team with rich European experience, knows how to control, they saw that Liverpool had to press high and was very fierce, and immediately strengthened the pass in the backfield, and the ball kept returning to Buffon's feet, and Liverpool had to press to look fierce, in fact, a little bit of a lack of follow-up, and was soon forced to retreat to their own half, Juventus naturally took advantage of the upward attack。

This is the difference between Juventus and many teams in the Premier League, the style of play is different, the Premier League team in the face of Liverpool's high pressing, more of them take a big foot to the front to remove the threat, but nine times out of ten will let Liverpool get the ball again, launch a second attack, often this attack is more deadly than the first positional attack.

Juventus don't, and even in the face of high pressing, they are more than happy to pass at the back, wear down the will of the Liverpool players, and slowly push up front.

Agnelli and Juventus' senior management sat in the stands very calmly, but Qian Huan was not so calm, Liverpool, who was invincible in the Premier League, seemed to be in big trouble today, it was useless to just play lively, and you had to score!

"Mr. Klopp should probably push Zhang Yuan to the center forward position!" Qian Huan said to Ian Ayle.

Ian Eyre understands what he means, he means that in the face of such a difficult fortress, Zhang Yuan, who is more skilled in shooting, should be allowed to go to the center forward position and seize the few opportunities, this idea cannot be said to be an incorrect idea, but this change is not only a change in position, but also a change in Liverpool's tactics, Zhang Yuan is clearly an attacking core on the wing, responsible for the baton in the front, on the other hand, Milner on the left side is basically a leading role.
