Chapter 101: Welcoming (1)

In the 11th minute, Liu Ting broke through the middle and stepped on a bicycle past Marchini to share the ball to Kuyt, Kuyt's shot was blocked by the Atletico goalkeeper, and Gerrard was cleared in advance by Atletico Madrid defender Lopes before going up to shoot.

Liverpool attacked for more than 10 minutes, and Atletico also adapted to the game and began to organize counter-attacks.

In the 15th minute, Atletico Madrid midfielder Assunsão made a long pass to Diego Forlan in the counterattack, Forlan broke through Carragher with the ball and hit the goal, Reina reacted quickly to lift the ball off the crossbar.

Heynckes is a very learning manager, he integrated Liverpool's previous Benitez high pressing into his tactics, and now Liverpool is pressing high in the backfield, and the front court is dominated by Liu Ting's quick cooperation, but it seems that Torres will create opportunities for many Torres when he returns.

The key to the excessibility of midfield is Xavi Alonso, and Atletico Madrid are clearly aware of this, and their defensive tactics today are to press Xavi Alonso, and to contain Liverpool's midfield movement has reduced the number of chances up front.

Liverpool's most playmaking midfield is Xavi Alonso, Gerrard also has some ability, Mascherano looks like a pure defensive midfielder most of the time, but they forgot that the old horse is watching the game here today, and the little horse has to explode to perform.

The narrator, Alan Hansen, shouted: "Mascherano!! His midfielder broke the ball and passed straight to the long pass!! ”

Mascherano stole Marcheni in the midfield, and in the past he was going to pass to Alonso or Gerrard, but seeing that the two were strictly guarded, Xiao Ma directly made a long pass and accurately found Liu Ting.

Liu Ting turned around and dribbled the ball, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gareth Bale actively stepping forward and distributing it to Bale on the side, Bale accelerated with the ball and took two steps to see the timing and returned to Liu Ting in the middle, becoming a two-by-two setter in the front court.

Zhan Jun said: "Liu Ting!! This is his chance! Atletico Madrid doesn't have a lot of people at the back and his chance to show has arrived!! ”

Liu Ting took the ball to face Heitinga, skillfully changed direction to the right, then buckled the ball back, and then accelerated into the penalty area, Heitinga wanted to reach out and foul too late, Lopes hurried over to make up for the defense, at this time the Atletico goalkeeper also chose to attack, Liu Ting saw that the opportunity was coming, flashed a step to the right, and directly lifted the door!

Alan Hansen roared, "Goooooooal!! Liu broke through the Madrid man's goal and fired a wonderful arc shot, Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper attacked too early, and Liu Ting seized the opportunity well. ”

In the 20th minute, Liu Ting burst into the penalty area and scored a goal, and Liverpool led Atletico Madrid 1:0.

Zhan Jun is saying: "The starting point of this attack is rare from Mascherano, Liverpool has rarely seen this style of play before, today Maradona is coming, Mascherano also has to perform well, it is said that the captain of the Argentine national team Maradona intends him to take over." ”

The broadcast camera is also looking for Maradona in the box, Maradona is smiling and applauding, and I don't know whether it is to applaud Liu Ting or Mascherano.

After Liu Ting's goal, he called Belle Mascherano over to hug and celebrate, and the Anfield fans cheered loudly, some of them chanting Mascherano's name, apparently for Maradona.

The slightly unexpected goal was a demoralisation blow to Atletico's morale, but they were prepared to concede before they arrived and quickly adjusted.

In the 27th minute, Heitinga advanced to the midfield on the side, and the pass found Raul Garcia at the edge of the penalty area, Raul Garcia passed the high ball into the penalty area, Diego Forlan's header was powerful, but fortunately Agger blocked the ball in time, and Arbeloa immediately cleared the ball.

Diego Forlan went to the referee to signal Agger to clear the ball with his arm, but the referee ignored it.

In the 34th minute, Xavi Alonsola fell to the side to receive the ball, and passed to Kuyt near the bottom line of the penalty area in Simao's front pass, Kuyt passed back, Gerrard inserted into the penalty area and hit the goal vigorously, but the ball slammed on the post and bounced back, and Atletico Madrid defender Peria kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Hansen said: "Steven Gerrard hasn't had a lot of luck lately, hitting the post in three games in a row, and maybe Liverpool won't be held to a draw if he hit the post once less in the last game. ”

Liverpool's attacking momentum has been fierce, and Atletico Madrid's counter-attack has been resolute.

"Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Heiting is very fast!"

Liverpool's attack was fruitless, after Atletico Madrid got the ball, fullback Heitinga advanced quickly, Agger grabbed it, Heitinga directly diagonally passed into the penalty area, Atletico Madrid midfielder Maxi Rodriguez grabbed a shot before Carragher, Reina was too late to pounce, and the ball flew into the goal at high speed.

In the 37th minute, Maxi Rodriguez equalized for Atletico Madrid, 1:1.

Hansen said: "Carragher should be responsible for the loss of the ball, he should have cleared the ball in advance, but he was too slow to react and it was too late to step forward. In the past, the partnership between Liverpool Carragher and Hyypia was reassuring, but with Hyypia getting older, Carragher is only 30 years old and his form is declining, and maybe it's time for Liverpool to start looking for a new centre-back combination. ”

Carragher is a Liverpool youth academy and has always been loyal to the Reds, Hansen's words made many Liverpool fans unhappy, but Carragher has been in bad form recently, scoring an own goal in the last game, and he is also responsible for conceding the goal this time.

Liverpool only led for more than 10 minutes before being equalised, and everyone was reluctant, but the attack in the next few minutes was unable to help Atletico Madrid, and the two sides ended the first half with a score of 1:1.

※※※

At half-time, Heynckes said: "When they press, we can play more direct, let the ball stay less in the midfield, go straight up front or even directly into the box, their defenders are not very tall, we can take advantage of that. ”

Heynckes' adjustment was simple enough, and Atletico Madrid was also very simple, continuing to maintain the situation in the first half, and they were still satisfied with the 1:1 scoreline.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the offensive adjustments of the two teams were not large, and even a substitution was useless, and Heynckes's adjusted style of play did not work well, Atletico Madrid began to encircle Liu Ting in the frontcourt, and the other Kuyt and Babel were not able to take the ball and seize the opportunity in the frontcourt, and only one Gerrard often plugged in but did not have the opportunity to create a threat.

In the coach's bench on the sidelines, assistant coach Herman said to Heynckes: "If Torres is here, this game will be easy to play, he can hold the ball in the front court and Liu Ting, and it is not so easy for the other party to strangle the ball point in the front court, but there are no people who will not pass to the front court again and again to create opportunities like now." ”

Heynckes said: "According to the advice of the team doctor, Torres's body is ready to play, but his injury is an old injury, and now he is likely to be injured again and aggravated, I don't want to take this risk." ”

Zhan Jun said: "Now the game time has reached 70 minutes, the score between the two sides is still 1:1, Atletico Madrid has to make adjustments first, Aguero is already standing on the sidelines, it seems that he is going to play, I don't know if he can have a good performance in front of his father-in-law." ”

In the 71st minute, Atletico Madrid made the first adjustment, replacing Diego Forlan with Sergio Aguero.

In the 74th minute, Aguero gave Liverpool a dismount as soon as he came up, he received Raul Garcia's cross into the left side of the penalty area, past Carragher to hit the goal, but the target was not adjusted just now, and this good opportunity was hit by his ball in the side netting.

Hansen said: "This ball is really dangerous!! If Sergio Aguero had been on target, Liverpool would have had to pay attention to defending against Sergio Aguero, who had just been careless and almost conceded a goal. ”

But Sergio Aguero seems to have come up with such a three-board axe, and then after Liverpool paid attention to him, he played stealth and never performed well.

As the minutes ticked by, the score remained unchanged and Heynckes had to make adjustments.

In the 79th minute, Liverpool replaced Babel with Robbie Keane.

Babbel is an average substitute striker, and Robbie Keane is a star despite his poor performance since his move to Liverpool, and he may be able to help the team with a flash of inspiration when he comes on the pitch.

But it backfired, and Keane quickly turned on his stealth skills after he came on the field, as if he and Aguero were playing hide and seek.

In the 84th minute, seeing that not much had changed, Heynckes replaced Mascherano with Modric again.

Modric has a strong ability to break through and is much stronger than Brother Xiaoma, of course, Modric's defensive ability is completely inferior to Brother Xiaoma.

The substitution finally worked.

In the 87th minute, Modric passed Asunção in midfield and passed Kuyt, who was actively running.

"Kuyt...... Golden opportunity!! ”

Kuyt didn't choose to hit the goal by himself, he crossed with a cross, Liu Ting immediately followed up in the penalty area, and pulled his shirt with Peria, who defended Liu Ting.

Liu Ting...... Keep up with the door!! ”

Liu Ting couldn't react to the interference and had to fall directly to the ground to tackle, but the tackle after the interference was also insufficient, and Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Franco narrowly held the ball on the goal line.

Liu Ting, who got up, immediately went to the referee, Liu Ting pulled his jersey and gestured to him: "Pull people!" It's obvious that the forbidden area pulls people, don't you see? It was a clear penalty!! ”

The referee kept shaking his head like a fool, seeing that his face began to be unkind, Gerrard hurriedly came over and pulled Liu Ting away, and Liu Ting had to leave with a sentence of "I CNM".

In the face of Chinese, the world's highest-language referee, the Swedish referee obviously didn't know what Liu Ting was talking about, so he could only look puzzled!

Injury time soon followed, with six substitutions from both teams coming in the second half and two disputes with the referee, with a fourth official on the sidelines lifting four minutes of stoppage time.

Entering injury time, Liverpool is more aggressive, although a 1-1 draw at home is acceptable, who doesn't want to win?
