Chapter 169: Liverpool's Isolation Tactics

In the press box, reporters from all over the world gathered around to analyze the handling of Yi Le's pass just now.

Purely academic discussions, without any personal emotions or favoritism.

The conclusions they came to were unprecedentedly unified.

That pass just now was amazing.

A simple 'rebound' directly tore apart Liverpool's defence, and throughout the entire football world, there is only one player who can tear apart Liverpool's defence so lightly.

The gold content of this game was also directly raised by this goal.

Previously, many Spanish media were complaining about the quality of this Champions League final.

They feel that the final without a La Liga team is a rookie peck, and both Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool are lucky to reach the final.

The Champions League final without Ronaldo and Messi can be called the final?

But in this moment, they shut up.

Whether it's Yile's passing or Van Dijk's calm handling, they all show the top level of both positions in today's football.

Liverpool are very good at counter-attacking and have the same attributes, but Liverpool's counter-attacking is more aggressive than Atletico's.

Their two full-backs, Robertson and Alexander-Arnold, both have attacking attributes, and Liverpool's attacks often come from the two of them.

But in this game, due to the suppression of the midfield, Liverpool as a whole was more defensive.

As expected before the game, the first 20 minutes were the attacking time of Paris Saint-Germain, and during this time, Klopp chose to avoid it, and they did not need to go head-to-head with Paris Saint-Germain.

After all, in terms of pure attack, Paris Saint-Germain is superior.

But what about twenty minutes later?

......

In the dugout, Klopp could not be found, he was already on the touchline.

This means that Liverpool are about to start a counter-attack.

Jurgen Klopp's presence was a sign that the entire Liverpool style of play had become extremely wild.

They began to join the crowd in the rush, running at the expense of physical strength, and a high-spirited momentum emerged spontaneously.

Liverpool is different from Paris Saint-Germain.

At the heart of this team in Paris are the players, that is, Yile.

But Liverpool's core is off the pitch, manager Jurgen Klopp.

As an outsider, Klopp can better observe the form of the field and make the most correct judgment.

At this time, Liverpool already have the opportunity to attack, and they can't be beaten passively all the time.

With a smile on his face, Klopp looked at the Chinese star in midfield.

In the last two years, Liverpool have been suppressed by the number 21, and now this Liverpool team is not the same Liverpool that once were, they have completed the reinforcement of the squad, and they are qualified to stand at the highest stage in Europe.

Now is the time for PSG to often call what is called a Liverpool-style attack.

Liverpool's counter-press began, and the momentum of the full-court pressing stopped PSG's attacking momentum as soon as it appeared.

Liverpool's positioning is very smart, they have completed a quick complement in the seemingly brutal pressing, often the Parisian player with the ball needs to face the pressure of two Liverpool players, and the attacking passing path is blocked, they can only play defensive return passes.

Yile wanted to get the ball, but he found himself isolated by Liverpool.

Liverpool relied on the special attributes of the three midfielders to directly cut off the connection between the Paris backfield and Yile.

The two Liverpool full-backs continued to attack, and the Paris midfielder did not dare to move forward.

To pass the ball to Yile is to risk being surrounded by three players.

"These guys!"

Yi Le looked at the situation around him, his brow furrowed deeply.

Before you know it, you have fallen into Liverpool's isolated trap, and the only way to get the ball is to retreat, but if Yile retreats, Liverpool will definitely press in.

Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson's crosses are a big threat, so what to do?

Just when Yile hesitated, Liverpool's attack kicked vigorously.

"Trent Alexander-Arnold stepped forward, he broke through Rabiot's defense, he has come to the midfield position, Liverpool's three strikers have moved closer to the middle, this is Liverpool's best attacking style, Salah, Mane, Firmino are all very strong in grabbing points."

'Alexander-Arnold passes, the ball goes to the left wing, Salah is beautiful! After a stop, the Egyptian star showed his excellent fundamentals! ”

Mohamed Salah's entry into the penalty area struck a chord for PSG's defence.

Liverpool's offensive and defensive transitions were too fast, and Yi Le and others did not have time to retreat, at this time, they could only rely on the Paris back line to defend alone.

Buffon was already roaring.

He was directing his teammates to run and squat, ready to save at any time.

He didn't know what Salah was thinking, this man was very skilled, he could pass and shoot.

Salah pulled wide on the left flank and suddenly a cross was played.

Marquinhos secretly said no, and when he turned his head, he was horrified to see that Firmino was ready to shoot!

"Firmino, shoot!"

Buffon !! ——”

The former is a passionate roar from a Premier League commentator.

The latter sentence is a surprise from the French commentator Mitches.

Yes!

Gianluigi Buffon stepped up at the most crucial moment, having already thought about the possibility of Salah's pass, so he kept an eye on it.

When Salah passed the ball, he still pounced to the side.

Stretching in the air, he touches the ball slightly with the tip of his hand, causing a line change and hitting the goal post and rolling off the baseline.

The 40-year-old veteran Gianluigi Buffon saved PSG.

There was a huge uproar in the stands.

Liverpool fans, laments of pity.

The Parisian fans breathed a sigh of relief.

That ball just now almost scared them to death.

On the sidelines, Villas-Boas couldn't sit still.

He came to the sideline and squatted, his brow furrowed.

Liverpool's tactic of isolating Yile worked wonders.

Klopp's tactics are very complicated, and he has practiced many times to see the running positions of Liverpool players, and Klopp came prepared.

He has been hiding this hand in order to isolate Yile.

As long as Yile is separated from the team, Liverpool can suppress Paris Saint-Germain.

And in the 20-minute set-up, PSG's aggressive forward press did fall into Klopp's trap.

Yile was directly isolated, which led to the implementation of a whole counter-attack plan for Liverpool.

The tactical context is clear, and the most terrifying thing is Liverpool's tactical execution.

An army that is good at fighting must have iron discipline.

And the same is true for a strong team, and the tactical arrangement needs to be supported by strong execution.

Liverpool have shown more quality in this regard than PSG.

Villas-Boas thinks he is in control of the team, but he can't do it with the control that Jurgen Klopp has.

Now he needs to find a way to help Yile, which is obviously impossible to build on Yile.

Klopp wouldn't let him do that.

Then we can only find other breakthroughs.

Fortunately, PSG has another driving core in addition to the core of Yile.

The definition of dual-core is not only that one plus one is greater than two, but sometimes it needs to go its own way.

Yile is clearly at its purest core.

But Neymar, the core of the spare tire, is not vegetarian.
