Alli was sent out of the starting line-up, Klopp's reason for doing so was that he thought Coutinho had a higher level of playmaking than Ali and a higher level of possession than Alli, who is now playing more and more like a forward player, putting pressure on the opposition penalty area in attack, and the passing level is actually average, but today facing Atletico's more tenacious defence, Klopp hopes that Coutinho can take on the role of a central hub.

And the benefit of moving Coutinho to the middle could bring him closer to Zhang, who Klopp believes will have better chemistry between them.

Atletico Madrid's Simeone used his own 442 formation as usual, goalkeeper Obarak, right wingback Juan Huran, central defenders are Gimenez and Godin, left wingback Felipe, midfielders Gabi, Fernandes, Koke, Saul, the forward line is old and young, Torres and Griezmann partner.

Obalak was Atletico Madrid's replacement goalkeeper from Benfica after Atletico Madrid left Courtois, and the Slovenian goalkeeper was also very good, he filled the void left by Courtois, and he is a 100% Atletico Madrid player, who was previously on loan from Chelsea.

Right wing-back Juan Juran is a Academy player for Real Madrid, but during Zhang Yuan's time at Real Madrid, Juan Juran had left Real Madrid to join Osasuna and did not meet directly.

Left wing-back Felipe was a former Chelsea player who moved from Atletico Madrid in 2014 and only spent the last season at Chelsea, but he was not a regular under Jose Mourinho, which eventually led to his return to Atletico Madrid after just one season at Chelsea in the Premier League.

To say that he is in and out is really interesting, Atletico Madrid made a difference of millions of pounds for nothing.

Felipe's key target today is Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan just happened to be with him, as early as the Premier League Felipe knew Zhang Yuan's power, the measures he took against Zhang Yuan in the last game were relatively large, and it was difficult to freeze Zhang Yuan's performance, but he still had no confidence in this game, and he really didn't have any confidence.

In the last game, Zhang Yuan didn't move much, Felipe will not take it lightly and think that Zhang Yuan is not that capable, this round he still thinks that he is facing a severe test, Simeone also made a competitive deployment for Zhang Yuan's side before the game, that is, to give Felipe enough support in the midfield, like the last game can limit Zhang Yuan to the greatest extent is victory.

Centre-back Godin has long since made a name for himself, while Gimenez is young but has shown great potential.

These four men are basically the main force in Simeone's defence, and their individual abilities may not be particularly impressive, but their energy can be stimulated in Simeone's defensive tactics, and they have been known for their defensive ability in La Liga and the Champions League in recent seasons.

With the whistle of Turkish referee Chukel, the 2015-2016 Champions League semi-final Liverpool's home match against Atletico Madrid officially began.

The two managers Jurgen Klopp and Simeone couldn't sit still in the dugout, they were both standing on the sidelines, such a game has a relatively low margin for error, maybe any player's mistake is very likely to cause a goal, the two managers are not nervous is strange.

Henry said in the live broadcast room that Klopp should lure the enemy deeper, but Klopp did not adopt such a strategy, this time he hoped that his team could control the ball and slowly find a way to attack the attack, rather than taking risks.

Like Carragher, it is a fake to say that he is not afraid of Atletico Madrid's forward line, and neither Griezmann nor Torres are in vain.

Fernando Torres returned to Anfield today with a lot of emotion, but the stadium was not so welcoming and the Anfield fans booed him loudly as soon as he got the ball from the start of the game.

The most brilliant stage of Torres' career should have been during his time at Liverpool, during which he was very efficient as a striker, more than anywhere else, but he ended up going to Chelsea for his title dream, where he also achieved the Grand Slam of his life, and he took everything he could at club level.

However, the original transfer fee of 50 million pounds could not offset the resentment of Liverpool fans towards him, after so many years, when Torres returned here, he was still greeted with boos, when he transferred to the winter transfer, it was a big blow to Liverpool, which is also an important reason why Liverpool fans are quite dissatisfied with him.

When Torres conceded the goal, the Anfield fans were still booed.

Zhang Yuan was still in the mood to consider Torres' feelings at this time, what he wanted to give Torres was sympathy, compared to his return to Juventus Arena, the treatment was much better.

After the start of the game, the rhythm is very fast, Klopp's strategy is to hope to control the ball, Atletico Madrid is the same as the last game, just don't want Liverpool to control the ball, Atletico Madrid's midfield strength is not better than Liverpool, Kante and Emre Can are both backs who cover a relatively large area, today was beaten by Zhang Yuan, in front of the home audience, it seems that the combat power is a lot stronger, Atletico Madrid after a few minutes of siege and grabbing, after all, it still failed to let Liverpool give up the short pass play.

They did give a few warnings, this warning is very important, which shows that maybe the next time Chuckel gave them not a warning but a yellow card, Simeone had no choice but to let his formation slightly recycle, rely on density, rely on the defensive system to make a fuss, today's courage seems to be useless, can only rely on Simeone's defensive system.

Seeing that the team has gradually mastered the ball and the initiative on the field, Klopp is also relieved, and now it depends on Zhang Yuan in the front court how they show their talent, and the time has come to attack.

Felipe fouled Zhang Yuan twice in just 10 minutes after the opening, the previous stage of Atletico Madrid's formation was relatively upward, Zhang Yuan's space was relatively large, and he also got the ball a few times, Felipe's teammates on this side were not in time, Felipe could only use foul tactics to save the emergency, so he was glad that he was on both occasions in a timely manner, and failed to let Zhang Yuan successfully get rid of it, unfortunately Chakel gave him a special warning, indicating that he could not make such a big foul.

Zhang Yuan is not a humble gentleman, he kept telling Chuckel that this action should be given a card, and raised his hand to signal the action of giving a card, but Chuck did not give it.

Felipe's foul is very particular, always in the area far from the penalty area, Liverpool is not embarrassed to get a set-piece opportunity but can not convert such a chance into a goal, the distance to the penalty area is too long, the time is too long, giving the Atletico Madrid players enough time to react, Liverpool is not very tall.

When Simeone recycled his team, the defensive density of the backfield increased, and Zhang Yuan's space to get the ball was much smaller, to say that some habits of the Liverpool team could not be changed, after holding the ball and controlling the ball, it didn't take long to look impatient, Zhang Yuan was also impatient, the teammates ran well, but Atletico Madrid's defensive movement was also good, and there was always no way to get the ball into the penalty area, which was disappointing!

Unable to bear it, Zhang Yuan chose a forced method, and he tried to form a tandem with Firmino and Coutinho.

In the 15th minute, Liverpool gave Atletico Madrid the first threatening shot after the opening, Zhang Yuan received a pass from Kante on the side, and passed the ball directly without stopping the ball and collided with Firmino, who was clinging to Godin.

Then after Zhang Yuan received the ball, he passed the ball to Coutinho without stopping, and after Coutinho took the ball, he shook off Fernandes and passed it to Firmino.

Zhang Yuan's position has moved to the middle of the penalty area at this time, Firmino understands it, divides the ball on the outside of his instep, Zhang Yuan takes advantage of the situation, and shoots before Gimenez blocks, he aims at the lower right side of Obarak, Gimenez's end is slow, and he failed to block the ball.

Obarak didn't have time to fall to the ground, but they were lucky that Zhang Yuan's angle pursuit was too tricky, and instead he shot the ball at the post, and the ball bounced off the bottom line!
