For the players, it's about proving their worth on a bigger stage, including winning over stronger opponents and achieving more.
There is so much to look forward to for both the fans and the players, and they are naturally eager to get this game started.
There is no doubt that Liverpool are relatively favourable in terms of fixtures, and although they are far away, the away and home fixtures give them relative flexibility to strategise after the results of the first leg.
However, this is also relative, because there are not so many absolute schedule advantages in such a summit matchup.
To win at the Bernabeu, at least a goal; Once an away goal is in hand, then the team will have a slight advantage on the way to promotion.
It was an extremely important game, and on the premise of continuing the vast majority of the main players, Mourinho made minor changes to Real Madrid's squad.
goalkeeper Diego López; At the back are Essien, Raphael Varane, Ramos and Coentrão; Khedira and Xavi Alonso; midfielders Di Maria, Mesut Ozil and Ronaldo; Up front, Karim Benzema served as the attacking bridgehead.
The adjustment of the magic bird is that the right-back Arbeloa, who cannot be beaten by iron in the backline, was unexpectedly replaced by Essien before the game, and the second is that Higuain, who plays the front line in the Champions League, is on the bench.
Liverpool's squad has basically not changed, except for some injury impacts, Liverpool have basically fielded the strongest lineup.
goalkeeper Qin Lang; Johnson, Agger, Skrtel and Enrique lined up on the back line; The midfield combination is Lucas, Coutinho, Steven Gerrard and Downing; The striker duo of Suarez and Sturridge.
Looking at the lineup, Liverpool may not be as starry as Real Madrid, and it is true that the lineup is relatively less luxurious and balanced than Real Madrid.
But football isn't just a game of stars, and Liverpool's players still have a lot of confidence because they have a good record this season because they know that the team has a good chemistry.
In such a situation, it is impossible for the team to win the game at the Bernabeu; It's certainly fun to fight for it and take away the win at the Santiago Bernabeu!
Before the game, the players of both sides entered and shook hands, but there was no moth; The history of the two teams is not too deep, and their biggest enemies are in their respective leagues, and the feuds between teams in other leagues may not be so deep.
Qin Lang didn't smile either, and the players on both teams didn't smile; When the tournament approached, the players of both teams were serious-faced, and even old acquaintances like Xavi Alonso and Steven Gerrard simply shook hands, because they all knew the importance of this game, and now is not the time for greetings and old friends.
The players of both teams are gearing up for this big game, and they will both want to eat their opponents alive as soon as the game starts.
In order to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League, in order to prove his strength, this game must not be slack; Especially in the two-round knockout round, the first leg matchup is naturally very important, not to mention seizing the opportunity, but also to fight for a more psychological advantage and initiative for the second leg in a week.
Qin Lang was ready, knowing that this game would definitely not be easy; And after the opening of the game, I did feel that Real Madrid is a top team in the end, and they have the ability to bring a huge test to Liverpool.
In the second minute of the game, Di Maria received a pass from Xavi Alonso, dribbled laterally outside the penalty area to connect two people, and hit Liverpool central defender Skrtel with a low left-footed shot 30 meters from the goal; With a block from his teammates, Qin Lang naturally easily took the ball down and did not give Benzema a chance to make up for it.
But just a minute later, Di Maria counter-attacked from the right side of the penalty line, and Benzema cut in to head it in the middle of the box; Qin Lang's eyes were quick, and he scooped the ball into his arms.
The game lasted only three minutes, but Liverpool's defence was already being tested; Real Madrid's midfield organization is really good, whether it is Xavi Alonso or Ozil, they all have the ability to sort out the midfield, not to mention Di Maria and others have good assault ability.
Qin Lang felt a little pressure, although it was only the beginning of the game, some of the situations that appeared at this time might not be so concerned.
It's just that such a strong duel really can't afford to be slack, and it can feel that the team can't limit Real Madrid in the midfield, so this is naturally a trouble that has to be faced, which is something that Liverpool must take into account.
If Real Madrid is allowed to continue to play a smooth game, then the rhythm of this game may be completely mastered by Real Madrid; is not only the so-called possession advantage, but the most important thing is to worry about Real Madrid's continuous offensive waves, which is the last thing Qin Lang wants to see.
It's not a small thing, and if you think about Real Madrid's terrifying midfield combination, once these guys are out of form, there's a good chance they're getting better and better.
Now we have to limit the play of these guys, but it's a pity that Lucas alone can't limit the Real Madrid midfielder who blooms more; Gerrard's defensive ability is also good, he can give Lucas some help, but if you want to freeze Real Madrid's midfield combination, Liverpool is still a bit 'short of soldiers' for the time being.
Although he thought about making the back line more forward, it was just that such a defensive strategy did not have much restrictive effect on Real Madrid, and even posed a greater threat.
Di Maria and Ronaldo's assault ability cannot be underestimated, once they open up in front of them and give these guys room to break through, it is to dig their own graves. The second is that Liverpool's back line is not a real fast horse, and Liverpool's defenders are not sprinters.
Qin Lang is a little stressed now, although it is beneficial to compress the opponent's activity space, but there are also huge risks hidden in it; However, continuing to allow the opponent to be in the middle of the field is tantamount to chronic suicide.
This is really troublesome, and this is also a huge test for Qin Lang; But it can't be helped, that's the reality, that's the game.
It's not that easy to fight with a team like Real Madrid, and if you want to have the last laugh in a game like this, you have to think about overcoming these difficulties.
Qin Lang naturally hopes to help the team overcome these difficulties, but Qin Lang also knows very well that some things cannot be done completely by thinking about it himself; The reality is that Liverpool's midfield defense is still a little 'understaffed', and Qin Lang still lacks the kind of assistant who has his own side.
Signaling their team-mates to start marking more is a good defensive strategy, because Liverpool lack the kind of one-on-one defensive striker, let alone facing these Real Madrid attacking masters.
But Qin Lang could only choose this, what he hoped was that his teammates could limit the opponent, so that he could also buy him some time to make amends.
That's what he thinks, what Qin Lang hopes is to use the delay and delay of his teammates to create some opportunities for him; Once his teammates break through, then Qin Lang will step up, Qin Lang will never doubt his personal ability, he knows that he must have the ability to help the team do a good job of defensive protection.
Real Madrid also started to make some changes, and at the beginning of the game they surged to completely establish the initiative of the game, and they wanted to control the tempo of the game.
However, after the three boards, it was also found that the Reds were not as difficult as they thought, and Liverpool, the team that has conceded the fewest goals so far this season, is actually not so tight defensively.
Then this is an opportunity, now that Liverpool have identified some deficiencies in the defensive end, Real Madrid really have too many ways to make a fuss about this.
Be careful, when he saw Real Madrid start to patiently organize and attack, Qin Lang sensed danger; For the time being, it seems to be calm, but Qin Lang feels more like the calm before the storm, don't think that Real Madrid is retreating, these guys are patient hunters waiting for a fatal opportunity.
constantly passing, pulling the defensive line, patiently looking for openings in Liverpool's defense; Sure enough, in the ninth minute of the game, Real Madrid found a good opportunity.
Mesut Ozil suddenly sent a very precise and penetrating through ball, and the ball went straight through the middle to find Cristiano Ronaldo, who started in a split second.
Qin Lang was terrified, although Skrtel, who had already reacted at this time, hurriedly turned around, he was trying hard to catch up with Ronaldo; But Ronaldo's speed was too fast, and the two basically started at the same time, but slowly I felt that Skrtel was lagging behind.
Hurriedly adjusted to the left, Qin Lang, who was bent over and taking small steps, was waiting in battle; And Ronaldo did not hesitate much, and decisively volleyed when he hit the heart of the penalty area.
At the moment when Ronaldo lifted his feet, Qin Lang flew out with both feet; Looking at Ronaldo's swing legs, you can see that the power of this shot is good, and there is no longer a delay at all.
The ball flew straight to the top left corner of the goal, an extremely tricky angle; And Qin Lang tried his best to stretch his body in the air, even if his fingertips could only move forward by one millimeter.
The effort was effective, although Ronaldo's shot was very powerful, Qin Lang still touched the ball with half of his hand; It's okay to keep the ball under control, but just be able to swing it off the crossbar!
The Bernabeu stadium sighed, Ronaldo's shot was great, but Qin Lang's performance was also good!
The best shooter and the best goalkeeper clashed, and Qin Lang temporarily took a small lead! (To be continued.) )
