Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said, "First of all, I would like to introduce the starting line-up of the away Barcelona team for this game, today Guardiola lined up in a four-three-three formation, and the goalkeeper was Valdés. ”
"Valdés is not one of the top goalkeepers in Europe, but he has always been very consistent, and occasionally amazing, so he has always been the main goalkeeper of Barcelona." Here, Tim 61 Laurson also explains.
'In the back four, it's Alves, Puyol, Pique and Silvinho. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately said, "French full-back Abidal has not recovered from his injury and is not in the eighteen-man squad. ”

'The three up front are Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi. Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson explained, "That's the starting line-up for today's Barcelona. ”
"Haode, Thiem has finished the starting game of the away team Barcelona, and now I will introduce you to the starting list of the home team Liverpool today." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker immediately said.

Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker suddenly smiled and said, "There have been countless rumors before, Barcelona has taken a fancy to Liverpool's Mascherano, according to someone revealed, after the end of this season, Mascherano will leave Liverpool and join Barcelona, I don't know if this news is accurate or not." ”
"If this news is true, then today is a chance for Mascherano to perform well, and he must want to let his new club see his Mascherano quality through this game." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker gossip.
'The three guys in the forward line are Arshavin, Chris 61 Qiu and Steven Gerrard. Steven Gerrard started today. At the same time, Chris is also back from injury, as previously revealed by the Liverpool team. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.
"The player on Liverpool's front line today is Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres." Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said.
"Haode, that's how the starting lists for both sides are today." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
"This game is the second leg of the match between the two sides, in the first leg of the match between the two sides, Liverpool drew 0-0 with Barcelona away, and today back at their home stadium, Liverpool must be hoping to solve Barcelona, go to meet Manchester United, and repeat the scene of last year's Champions League final."
"Haode, at this time, the players on both sides have finished the tedious pre-match ceremony, and the players on both sides have already stood in their positions, and now they are waiting for the game to start." Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson said.
Qiu Ze and the others were already standing in their positions, waiting for the start of the game.
The referee is looking at his watch on his wrist, checking the time, and if the time is up, he immediately blows the whistle for the start of the game.
At this point, the Anfield stadium fell silent, and the fans in the stadium waited quietly for the whistle to start the game.
Honk! Suddenly, the referee of the game blew the whistle for the official start of the game.
First off in midfield were the visitors Barcelona and they got the ball today. After the start of the game, the Barcelona people did not rush towards the Liverpool penalty area as soon as they came up, they were more in control of the football at their feet, using the pass ball to slowly move forward, pressing step by step.
Barcelona didn't have a quick tempo in possession, but they were both well-timed and accurate. This set of theirs has been brought out of their youth training, this is already a complete system, and it has even been engraved in the minds of the Barcelona players, so it is very easy to do.
Don't look at Barcelona's slow passes, which don't seem to be much of a threat, and he doesn't advance well, almost being forced back by Liverpool's defenders as soon as they are pressed, and it seems that they are all useless passes. In fact, they are using the pass to wear down the opponent's patience, and they have been looking for gaps and holes in the opponent's defense in the passing ball.
Once they spot gaps and holes in the opponent's defence, they will not hesitate to send through balls and tear apart the opponent's defence with a single pass.
So, it's very dangerous to keep Barcelona in control of the football at their feet. No one on this shijie can keep their spirit tense all the time, and there will be no relaxation. Barcelona possession and reversal are all about losing patience, waiting for the moment when you are relaxed, and then immediately delivering the fatal blow.
Barcelona's passing is actually different from other teams, when they pass the ball, the players are running, but the players will often use the running to change positions frequently.
They are also using this kind of transposition to drive and involve the opponent's defense, and the main purpose is to create holes and gaps in the opponent's defense.
The ball moves, the man moves the ball, it's really hard to defend.
Liverpool, of course, don't want the ball to be at the feet of their opponents all the time, so after the game started, Liverpool pressed very aggressively, and they wanted to cut off Barcelona's pass and prevent them from passing the ball.
In that case, Liverpool's defense will be much better. Moreover, they also hope to use this crazy pressing ball to directly counter-attack and threaten the opponent's goal.
The Liverpool players are characterised by their ability to run, their physique, and their ability to press and counter-attack on the spot. Because that's how they play in the Premier League. This is also the reason why the pace of the Premier League is very fast, the Premier League games sometimes seem like a saw, you go back and forth attack, the transition between attack and defense is very fast, and it is constantly changing.
The main thing is that the high confrontation from the Premier League, the fast and ferocious tackles on the spot, the more broken balls, the more opportunities to get counterattack attacks, and the more offensive rounds there are, so it seems that the pace of the Premier League game is very fast.
Often this team is still attacking just now, and the next second the offensive and defensive roles are switched, and it is the opponent's turn to attack.
Today, Liverpool are also taking this characteristic of theirs to the extreme, and they hope to use these characteristics to disrupt this kind of passing ball of the Barcelona people and paralyze Barcelona's attacking system.
Therefore, at the beginning of the game, the Liverpool team was very fierce as soon as they came up, and they didn't go up to rob one by one, they were many people collectively robbed, and one person led the whole team to rob, so the robbery efficiency is very high.
Liverpool are like a delicate meat grinder wreaking havoc on the pitch. Barcelona's players are generally short, flexible and weak, and they have suffered a lot under the ferocious style of play of the Liverpool team.
The Barcelona players fell to the ground frequently on the pitch, and the referee's whistle sounded very frequently, which made the game also intermittent and incoherent, so the game seemed very silent.
The game felt as if it wasn't just another football game, but more like a rugby game.
Barcelona fans are very dissatisfied with Liverpool's way of playing, they don't think it's football at all, they think that Liverpool's guys are simply playing rugby, it's simply killing football. What's the point of football if it's all about football? It's better to play rugby, the one is much more exciting and bloody and violent, and that one is the one who is energetic.
Liverpool fans are very dissatisfied with the performance of the Barcelona players, does Nima look like an athlete? Nima fell when he touched it, fell down when he touched it, what the hell are you touching porcelain here? What kind of football are you playing with your body?
Liverpool fans think that the Barcelona players are pretending to be acting at all, and Nima can't stand such a little confrontation, so why are they still playing? Nima might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes!
Fans on both sides expressed their frustration from the stands, and they frantically booed the opposing players and fans. The atmosphere at the scene was really hot, and the passion and anger of the fans on both sides had ignited the stadium.
The intensity of the game on the pitch has not decreased at all, but has a tendency to become more intense. However, this game has really not been exciting at all from the beginning to the present, so far both sides have only one shot on goal, and they are all far away from the goal, and a long shot that is not a shot on goal has tested the opponent, and there is nothing else to praise the performance.
Both sides saw too much energy today and put too much energy into the battle for midfield. Of course, Liverpool are proactive, while Barcelona are passive. Under such ferocious pressing by the Liverpool team, Barcelona also had to keep up, otherwise they really couldn't do Liverpool, and the game would enter the rhythm of the Liverpool team, at that time, if Barcelona wanted to do something again, the situation would be very difficult, so although Barcelona didn't like this way of playing, they had to join it.
