Chapter 170: Flying and Faceball
The tempo of the pitch began to get faster, the attack in Paris was still so aggressive, and Liverpool's counter-attack was extremely sharp.
Trent Alexander-Arnold and Robertson continued to step forward and attack the Parisian backline.
On the other hand, Yile was isolated in the center circle, and it was difficult for the players in Paris to hand over the ball to Yile.
Liverpool's tactics are clear, they are going to cut off Yile's ties with the team.
Keep the presence of this super midfielder to a minimum!
This is also evident in the players in Paris.
Neymar watched Yile in prison and could only retreat to receive a pass from the midfield.
Yile can't retreat, if Yile retreats, Paris's entire attacking line will have to retreat, so Neymar can only maintain the midfield.
Of course, even if Neymar retreated to receive the ball, Liverpool did not let Yile go.
The two midfielders stuck to Yile to prevent him from potentially touching the ball.
'It's a terrible situation right now, Liverpool are deliberately isolating Yi and cutting off Yi's contact with the team, maybe Villas-Boas will have to consider dropping Yi back to a central midfield position.' Mitches said.
"Nope! Easy not to retreat! ”
Old Monet retorted: "If it is easy to retreat, the game in Paris will be more difficult, Liverpool is eager to return to the position of the back, so that his offensive ability will be greatly reduced, and he needs to take into account the defense, resulting in a decline in Paris's midfield control, if it loses the binding force of the midfield, Liverpool's forward line will unscrupulously impact the Paris backline." ”
"We know very well that the situation is very anxious and Liverpool's attitude is very clear, they used their midfield to scrap Yi and block our strongest point at the lowest cost!"
"I have to say that Klopp did a lot of homework before the game and his isolation tactics worked well.
Mitches frowned and said, "So now you can only watch Neymar?" ”
Old Monet nodded: "Yes, Neymar is going to step up, he is one of the core of Paris, although he does not have the dominance of Yi, he is still able to connect well in the midfield." ”
In the field, Yi Le was annoyed to death, he couldn't retreat, once he retreated, it would be a fatal blow to the team.
He knows he's more dangerous to stay in that position than to drop back, and even without the ball, he can pull in at least two of Liverpool's back midfielders.
Of course, the price is also cruel, and that is to be isolated.
Yi Le was still constantly running and pulling, but the two heels behind him had no intention of letting him go.
He has tried to drain the opponent's fitness by running widely, but the facts tell him that the fitness of the Liverpool players is not bad.
Watching N'Golo Kante cut off the ball from Mane's feet with great difficulty and kicked it out of the touchline, Yi Le fought with his waist crossed, and the two Liverpool midfielders also stopped, which made Yi Le feel helpless.
Yi Le shook his head at Neymar, and Neymar was also looking at Yi Le.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"It's up to you!"
"Leave it to me."
Neymar dropped back decisively, while Ile stayed where he was, and he needed to attract Liverpool's defence.
On the sidelines, Klopp couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment as he watched Yile not retreat.
He naturally hopes that Yile will retreat, so that Liverpool's offensive will be sharper.
But apparently, Yile was not fooled.
39 minutes in the first half.
Liverpool and Paris are still attacking each other's backline.
Liverpool relied on the frequent advances of Alexander-Arnold and Robertson, and the three forwards pressed in unison, putting great pressure on the Paris backline.
Paris, on the other hand, relied on the gap involved in E-Le.
Straight to Liverpool.
The pace becomes fast.
The spectators in the stands watched the game almost once a minute.
The two teams illustrate what it means to 'rush and rush', and everyone is charging with their heads down.
When his teammates attack, Yile pulls the edge to attract a certain amount of defensive force.
When Liverpool attacked, Yile and Cavani were firmly rooted near the center circle, restricting Liverpool's players from pressing all the way.
At this time, Neymar broke through on the right flank and went straight into the penalty area.
It was a turning point, with Alexander-Arnold attacking but unable to fully defend against Neymar.
In this case, Yile decisively pulled back.
On the one hand, it attracts away a certain amount of defensive force.
On the other hand, it can confuse Liverpool's backline.
Sure enough, seeing Yi Le running to the back point, the two backs were directly dumbfounded.
Is it to come forward to block or continue to follow Yile?
Faced with a choice.
The two decided to do both.
Henderson stepped forward to block and Wijnaldum continued to defend Yile.
Sending off a defender, Yi Le was slightly relieved.
Yile was a clever runner who didn't go straight to the back post and made roundabout runs that made it impossible for Wijnaldum to combine with his team.
Yi Le couldn't help but snort softly, isolating tactics, as if who wouldn't use it!
Of course, Yile's running is also observing the form of the field.
Edinson Cavani and Mbappe were both seen dead and there was no passing point.
Neymar struggled to get the ball out.
On the other hand, Yile's defense is a little loose.
Seeing that Neymar couldn't make a decision, Yi Le decisively raised his hand and sprinted towards the back point.
Neymar naturally saw Yi Le's raised arm, and he passed the ball directly without saying a word.
The speed of the ball is high.
Yi Le ran two steps, his knees slightly bent, and with a 'bang', he rose to the ground.
In the air, Yile's hands are naturally backwards, his feet bent at a distance of more than a meter from the ground.
Wijnaldum also jumped at the same time, and this ball must be his.
Yi Le obviously has no experience in heading, and the timing of the jump is not well controlled, and Yi Le jumped too early.
Wijnaldum, on the other hand, jumped a little late and reached the highest point just in time.
Just when he was secretly complacent, he was shocked to find that Yi Le's body had no downward trend.
Instead, they have been rising, and the most terrible thing is that the two of them reached the commanding heights almost at the same time.
Because Yile fell and jumped, it was Yile who got stuck.
What kind of air supremacy is this?
Wijnaldum complained frantically in his heart.
He tried to reach out to interfere with Yile, but Yile had already pressed his elbow against his shoulder, causing Wijnaldum to begin to descend, and Yile still swooped in ahead.
"Neymar passes!"
"Easy to jump at the same time as Wijnaldum!"
"God! Easy to jump so high, he's flying!! ”
"This ball..... Uh...."
Touch!!!
The ball made an intimate contact with Yi Le's face and flew directly out of the bottom line.
Yi Le landed, and he immediately covered his face and landed.
His face hurt very much, the ball seemed to hit the bridge of his nose, and tears ran out without any anger.
The worst part is... It's a shame.
Go back and definitely practice pitching!
Wijnaldum also looked at Yi Le stupidly, jumping so high, just show Lao Tzu this?
"That ball hit Yi's face just now, right?" Mitches said embarrassedly.
Old Monet also grinned and said, "This should hurt!" ”
"Yes, it seems that Yi needs to sharpen his pitching ability."
