At the end of the first half, the score was 1-2, with the home team Juventus trailing the visitors Liverpool 1-2.

This score is clearly unacceptable for the home team, Juventus, who are now behind and have been scored twice away goals, and if this game ends at this scoreline, it will mean that Juventus will have a very difficult time to turn the tables in the second leg.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon was still talking to referee Fisco, and he still disagreed with the referee's blow for Jiang Chenxi's shot over the goal line, and he insisted that the goal did not cross the goal line.

On Liverpool's side, the players were clearly in a good mood and left the pitch with a smile on their faces.

Let's not talk about whether Liverpool can win the game in the end, and now the two away goals are in hand, which makes the whole team feel a lot of confidence.

The two legs were drawn, and the side with the most away goals qualified. Since the establishment of the away goals rule, the away game has become a place that every team loves and hates. In the green battlefield involving honor, dignity and money, the appearance of every away goal may represent heaven or hell.

In fact, the birth of the away goal elimination system in the case of a two-legged draw is also closely related to Liverpool.

Turning the pages of history, in the ancient times before the convincing Tiebreaker, if the two teams were to win each leg and end up tied on aggregate, they had to decide the outcome of the play-offs at a neutral venue. This may be a "lose-three" solution – leaving aside the fact that players from both teams who have played 180 minutes of exhaustion have to play at least another 90 minutes, it is also a headache who wants to host a neutral game.

The 1964/1965 season was a rare sight to be seen in the Champions League. In the quarterfinals of that year's UEFA Champions League, English League One champions Liverpool and Bundesliga champions Cologne played to a goalless draw at their respective home stadiums. In the play-off of the neutral field, the two teams that ran out of the last bullet were still dead-notch, and the 30 minutes of extra time were still dead.

At the final whistle, the referee had to use the final rules of the time to decide the fate of both teams: he brought a red and white coin and handed down the verdict for the two teams that were evenly matched.

The Feyenoord Stadium was silent, and the focus of tens of thousands of eyes was on the thin slice a few centimeters in diameter. Perhaps by the will of God, the mischievous coin was actually erected in the center of the turf after a few rolls.

In the second coin toss, Liverpool captain Ron Yates guessed the colour correctly and the "300-minute marathon" came to an end.

Even the winners were not satisfied, and the Cologne team was even more ridiculous. In the midst of more and more opposition from teams, a better and more reasonable Tiebreaker is about to emerge: this is the away goal elimination system!

……

In the away team's dressing room at the Juventus Athletic Stadium.

"Excellent!"

"Beware of Juventus' counterattack in the second half!"

"Watch out for Pogba, the Frenchman was really in good form today!"

"Van Dijk, you have to be careful of Mandzukic, the Croatian has a lot of small moves."

Jurgen Klopp first praised his players' performance in the first half, and then he focused on the issues to be aware of in the second half.

In the home team's dressing room.

Juventus manager Allegri knows his side is in the biggest predicament right now.

In this game, Allegri's tactics for Juventus are defensive counterattacks, defense is Juventus' strength, waiting for opportunities to counterattack on the basis of good defense, if you can sneak attack and win the game, it is the best, even if you can't win, you can draw with Juventus at home, and at the same time do not concede goals, which is also acceptable, which means that as long as Juventus scores while drawing with Liverpool away in the second leg, then it is Juventus who advances.

Allegri is very pragmatic, he chooses to be conservative, because he knows very well that although Juventus eliminated Liverpool at home last season, Jiang Chenxi was absent in that game, so he can't take that game and today's game as a reference.

It's just that what Allegri didn't expect was that Juventus conceded two goals in the first half and fell behind 1-2 at halftime, which made Juventus in a bad situation.

If they want to keep their hopes of a comeback in the second leg, Juventus will at least need to equalise in the second half!

To equalize, you have to step up your attack!

And if it is pressed out to attack, then, will Juventus be able to resist the Liverpool attack line led by Jiang Chenxi?

Allegri could not guarantee it.

However, he and his team have run out of options.

……

After the start of the second half, a big change was noticed, that is, Juventus played more aggressively, and the Bianconeri began to put pressure on Liverpool's half.

'Liverpool are going to try to score, they're aggressive!'

Juventus' aggressiveness quickly stimulated their opponents, Liverpool, on the pitch, and it ended up being a fiery scramble between the two sides.

Not long after the start of the second half, Liverpool's Dutch defender Van Dijk was "plotted".

Juventus' Croatian striker Mandzukic hit Van Dijk with a close-range shot in the back of the net.

Van Dijk let out a whimper and fell to the ground in pain.

This caused a clash between the players of both sides, with the Liverpool players believing that Mandzukic was completely deliberate, while Juventus considered it an unexpected circumstance.

The team doctor also rushed into the field to inquire about Van Dijk's condition.

"This one is really hurting Van Dijk." Seeing the replay, Lineker gasped and said, he even felt a cool breath rising from his tail vertebrae.

It's no wonder that Liverpool's players think Mandzukic may have done it on purpose, given that the Croatian striker is anything but easy to follow.

Last season, Mandzukic was still playing for Atletico Madrid, and in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid, he fought with Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos and almost got into a fight.

At that time, Mandzukic collided with Ramos as he scrambled for a ball high in midfield, and the Croatian striker knocked Real Madrid over from behind, and then fell to the ground with a seemingly unintentional slam on Ramos's waist.

Ramos was no stubble, as he reached out his right hand as he got up and immediately punched Mandzukic in the face, and the Croatian striker did not forget to retaliate by the same punch as he covered his face in pain, but Ramos raised his elbow to block it.

Real Madrid's vice-president's malicious retaliation was not an exaggeration even if he received a red card, but the referee considered that Mandzukic had committed a foul first, and there was a certain possibility of physical harm to Ramos, and finally each played 50 boards, and one person received a yellow card.

Then the two of them were stunned, Ramos was defending at the back, jumped and raised his elbow to hit Mandzukic on the side of the face, the Atletico Madrid striker covered his face and fell to the ground, Ramos spread his hands to show that he did not deliberately foul, and reprimanded Mandzukic for having a performance element, and finally the referee only verbally warned the Real Madrid deputy that he was not shown a second yellow card to send him off.

Of course, Atletico Madrid also has a time when he took advantage, Mandzukic deliberately handball when receiving a pass from a teammate on the right side of the frontcourt, and the referee just whistled for a foul on the Croatian, although Mandzukic's foul was very hidden, but in terms of rules, deliberate handball should receive a yellow card, but the referee only gave a verbal warning in order to keep the game from losing its balance and proceeding smoothly.

Given Mandzukic's previous 'bad record', Liverpool have to suspect that Mandzukic did it on purpose.

Fortunately, after a brief check-up and rest, Van Dijk had no problem and returned to the pitch.

……

The referee ignored the protests of the Liverpool players as there was no evidence that Mandzukic had deliberately 'harmed' Van Dijk.

Therefore, he only verbally warned Mandzukic not to cause trouble, and did not take any further action.

"Mandzukic is very active." He Wei said.

"Mandzukic is not the kind of striker who can be admired with his footwork, and he may even be disliked, but he has done quite well in this Juventus team."

Mandzukic is a team player, and his shooting skills are also good, and when used as a bridgehead, he is very powerful.

But he has his back on his back, when he was in the golden age of his football career, he met Pep Guardiola, who likes to play pass-and-control football + no striker, in this tactic, can a big center like Mandzukic not feel uncomfortable to play?

In fact, even under Pep Guardiola, Mandzukic scored well, scoring 25 goals in 46 games for Bayern Munich in all competitions that season. However, in the case that Guardiola wants to further strengthen the "no striker", Mandzukic seems redundant - in fact, after Mandzukic left, the new Lewandowski was not in Guardiola's eyes at first, and Guardiola preferred to use Götze to play "pseudo-center" tactics.

When he was at Atletico Madrid, Simeone asked for a quick counterattack, and Mandzukic ran at an average pace, which was not suitable: Mandzukic was an old-fashioned center forward, and his strengths and weaknesses were obvious. He can fight for the top, he can grab points, he can even defend, and he can score goals when it matters most.

Under Allegri, Mandzukic performed well, and it is worth mentioning that the bigger the mandzukic, the more he played.

Allegri replaced Dybala and brought on Morata, offering a two-centre-forward tactic to attack Liverpool's defence, and the effect of the substitution was quickly felt.

……

This time, it was Juventus midfielder Khedira who made an important interception in midfield, cutting off Emrejan's pass with a beautiful frontal defence and immediately instigating an attack on the spot.

Khedira passed the ball to Cuadrado, who dribbled quickly along the flank before suddenly passing it back to Pogba, who came to pick it up.

Pogba didn't stop the ball and hoisted the ball into the box.

Morata beats Joe. Gomez battled for the ball and Liverpool goalkeeper Karius made a good save, but the ball didn't leave the danger zone, as Van Dijk and Mandzukic rushed to the spot at the same time, and then two people were seen tackling the ball at the same time, and the ball jumped up and flew into the net.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal！”

The announcer at the scene shouted excitedly.

Mandzukic got up from the ground and ran excitedly in celebration.

And Van Dijk got up, he was shouting angrily, protesting.

Van Dijk complained about Mandzukic for a foul, however, the referee said that he did not see the foul, at least his eyes did not see it, he verbally warned Van Dijk, and the latter was about to continue to protest, but was directly ripped away by Jiang Chenxi: The referee is already impatient, and Van Dijk will definitely eat the card if he presses again.

Slow-motion playback.

"Tsk." He Wei almost laughed, "No wonder Van Dijk is so angry, Mandzukic does have a movement in his hand, and this action is ...... Very unfriendly! ”

Slow-motion replays show that when he went to grab the point at the same time, Mandzukic pulled Van Dijk's pants, almost ripped them off, and Van Dijk's little half of his ass almost leaked out: the vital part was hit by the ball shot by Mandzukic just now, and this time it almost missed his ass, no wonder Van Dijk was so angry.

……

"Two to two! Tenacious Juventus, they equalized! ”

Mandzukic scored, but it was Pogba who was most excited to celebrate.

Although he didn't assist the goal, he passed the ball.

Running all the way and jumping directly onto Mandzukic's back, Pogba waved his arms hard.

It's just that his gaze looked directly at Jiang Chenxi, which means that everyone knows it.

Jiang Chenxi looked at the Frenchman coldly, and then turned his head:

Jumping clown!

He said in his heart.

Jiang Chenxi was a little unhappy in her heart, although Liverpool could accept the score of 2 to 2 now, after all, they drew away from home and scored two away goals at the same time.

Jiang Chenxi scored two goals, Pogba only had one penalty and was involved in another goal at the same time, strictly speaking, Jiang Chenxi was the winner in terms of statistics.

However, it is a little unpleasant to see Pogba behave like this.

Jiang Chenxi was unhappy in his heart, and he was eager to help the team overtake the score again.

……

Rao is Jiang Chenxi himself didn't expect that Liverpool's next goal would come so quickly.

This is Lallana dribbling the ball in midfield, and after he and Emre Can made a wall-hitting combination, and then formed a passing and running coordination with Milner, who came from the side to pick up, he made a gesture to pass to Milner, but he directly passed a forward boccia ball.

Jiang Chenxi ran in the opposite direction to catch the ball in the penalty area at this time, and just turned around with the ball, he saw Bonucci's face.

Jiang Chenxi's feet moved very quickly, he pulled the ball horizontally, and when Bonucci had not yet reacted, he was about to shoot, although he shook off Bonucci, however, he was not able to successfully complete the shot, and Evra, who came to fill the position, stretched out his foot in time to block the football.

Soccer balls bounce up.

Jiang Chenxi's second reaction overtook the defender next to him, he carried Bonucci with his body, and then directly flicked the football to the side with the inside of his foot.

Salah received the ball and cut straight inside the box down the flank, before Balzagli came up to intercept the ball and sent the ball towards goal.

A red figure flashed in front of the goal, and he got ahead of everyone and swept the ball into the net with his outstretched foot.

Then, one saw a black player rush out and start running to celebrate.

It's Mane!

The shy and honest Senegalese lad has been getting better and better since joining Liverpool, and he has begun to score wonderful goals, but the goal is beautiful, but when it comes to celebrating, Mane has no choice, he will be at a loss, and he will not know how to celebrate.

Therefore, if a team-mate celebrates with a goal, the first thing Mane has to do is to imitate his team-mate's celebration first, so as not to know what to do after he scores.

For example, the last time he scored a goal for Liverpool, when he was celebrating the goal, he imitated Jiang Chenxi's domineering action of rushing to the sidelines and raising his right arm and roaring after scoring a goal!

This time, for example, Mane mimicked Roberto Firmino's celebration of machine gun fire in a previous match.

Mane also learned well, amusing Firmino on the bench to stand up laughing, followed by machine-gun fire in celebration.
