187 Traps, poisons
Liverpool's strategy is to defend and counterattack, first to be invincible, and then to plan later; You can't let Real Madrid lead the way, you can't let Real Madrid take the lead in the game!
That's something Liverpool need to do in the second half, although that could leave the Reds a little passive in the game; But this is only temporary, as long as they can stick to their tactics well, the Reds may not be able to walk away with victory at the Bernabeu.

Although the team has set the tone of the game, the players can also be said to be united; It's just that Qin Lang won't be optimistic that this means that this is foolproof, he knows that Real Madrid is still a very dangerous team, this is a super team that has the ability to tear apart all defenses.
Sure enough, after seeing Liverpool begin to defend to the death, Real Madrid began to attack; They have no other choice, because no matter how they induce, Liverpool will not attack like a turtle, which makes Real Madrid have to grit their teeth and attack.
In the 55th minute, Ronaldo stepped forward after splitting the ball in the middle; Mesut Ozil passed the ball diagonally, and Ronaldo, who was in a good position, was directly knocked over by the tall and strong Skrtel.
There was boos at the Bernabeu stadium because of Liverpool's rough defence and because the referee showed mercy on the Liverpool defender for not giving a yellow card.
In the 59th minute, Benzema finally received the ball in the penalty area; By the time he tried to pass the ball, he found Agger staring at him and Lucas already in place.
Real Madrid's attack was a bit bogged down, and once they pushed the ball near the penalty area, it was immediately stalled; Because Liverpool is shamelessly making a fuss near the penalty area, and because Qin Lang is just 'pointing', Liverpool's defenders can clearly know where they should be.
It doesn't matter if the midfielder wants to keep the ball, you can organize slowly; But if you want to make a fuss near the penalty area, you will be met with Liverpool's crazy pressing.
As for Liverpool's attack, it is of course good to be able to push to the vicinity of Real Madrid's penalty area; But once the ball was lost, Liverpool immediately counter-attacked on the spot, constantly delaying and quickly returning to the defensive formation in the process of counter-grabbing.
This is actually very physically demanding on the Liverpool players, but in order to win the game, they can only run more. Because Liverpool can't match Real Madrid's squad at all, it is obviously not a wise choice to play against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, and Liverpool must play the tactics they are good at.
Possession was entirely on Real Madrid's side, and the front of their own penalty area was finally crowded with players from both sides; Looking at the situation, this is exactly the situation in which Liverpool is being beaten unilaterally.
But Qin Lang was not in a hurry at all, because the team's defense was still supported for the time being, and although Real Madrid was very powerful, it still couldn't find a chance to score.
In fact, Real Madrid's players are also very cautious, because they have done a lot of homework before the game and know that Liverpool's defensive counterattack cannot be underestimated; In some of Liverpool's games, there will be examples of Qin Lang quickly opening goal kicks to counterattack, so Liverpool must not be given such a chance.
Liverpool are holding on, patiently looking for opportunities to counter-attack; Real Madrid are on the attack, but they are also wary of Liverpool's counter-attack.
It's a constant temptation between experienced hunters and cunning prey, both trying to catch each other's flaws.
As for who is the hunter and who is the prey, it is difficult to say; Because they seem to be playing their own tactics now, and because this kind of game is still in a 'stalemate' stage, both teams have a chance to score, at most, Real Madrid now looks more advantageous.
Qin Lang was calculating, feeling that the bait given by the team now was not deadly enough; Don't look at Real Madrid's possession of the ball is very high, and they are constantly looking for opportunities, but those guys are shallow, Real Madrid does not have a desperate attack, and those guys will still pay attention to defense.
This is not good, what Qin Lang hopes is to completely transfer the Real Madrid players, what he wants to see is Real Madrid's desperate attack; Only in this way will you be more efficient in defensive counter-attacks.
It seems that this needs to be ruthless, not only to be ruthless with Real Madrid, but also to be ruthless with yourself; If they don't make the bait bigger and fatter, Real Madrid, who have been on the verge of the trap, will never take another step forward.
If you want to lure the snake out of the hole, you need a certain amount of bait; If you want Real Madrid to completely step into the trap, you need to make them completely numb, and you need to let those guys unknowingly enter the land of no return.
The current defense is too solid, and the intention of defending the counterattack is too obvious, which makes the Real Madrid players still have some reservations; Gotta make a fuss about it, and let those guys willingly enter the time of death.
Consciously set up some defensive traps, so that the Real Madrid players have some illusions, let them think that they have found some shortcomings in Liverpool's defense, and let them concentrate on attacking Liverpool's 'shortcomings'.
It can't be too deliberate, that will only cause a situation of surprise; For Qin Lang, now is the real lure of the snake out of the hole, and the Real Madrid players must be allowed to bite the bait!
In the 73rd minute, Coutinho stepped up and lost position, and Ozil's long pass tore through the Liverpool defense; Benzema volleyed against Skrtel, but unfortunately he couldn't make a full effort.
Two minutes later, Ronaldo received the ball in front of the penalty area, smashed the ball and changed direction to break through Lucas; As a result, Skrtel was not flexible enough and failed to finish Ronaldo completely. Fortunately, Qin Lang's eyes were quick, and he held Ronaldo's stab steadily.
Gradually, the Real Madrid players seem to feel some opportunities; Skrtel can really make a fuss about this, and his single defense ability is not bad, but it is not enough to resist Real Madrid's stars. As for the assistant defense, although Qin Lang was commanding the other players, because Qin Lang was too cautious, he didn't dare to ask someone to help Skrtel more.
This is interesting, after a long time of hard attack and siege, Real Madrid finally saw some shortcomings of Liverpool, and they saw that Liverpool's originally excellent defense seemed to have some flaws.
Even if Liverpool is defending tightly, even if Qin Lang is constantly trying to make amends, Skrtel's point is beginning to be exposed; While not going to be a one-time game, Real Madrid's players did see some opportunities to slam Skrtel, which was the main point of breakthrough and the perfect weakness to break the deadlock.
Qin Lang, who was expressionless, was directing his teammates to arrange the defensive line, and he had to be dislike on the court; Real Madrid have started to get into the trap, these guys think Skrtel is Liverpool's weakness, and even Liverpool's players feel a little bit at this time.
It's just that Qin Lang knows very well that he is deliberately exposing Skrtel to Real Madrid's offensive firepower; He also looks embarrassed and needs to help Skrtel with remedies from time to time.
However, Qin Lang knows very well that the reality is that Skrtel is not so weak, and he can still bear it; is also because now Real Madrid has begun to storm Skrtel, and now a lot of firepower is coming from the middle, which is Qin Lang's intention to always arrange traps.
Coutinho didn't understand why Qin Lang didn't allow him to help defend, and Sturridge didn't have much problem staying up front; The reason, naturally, is that Sturridge has speed, and everyone thinks that Sturridge's role now is to harass.
patted Skrtel, who was a little nervous, and put his arm around Skrtel's shoulder and whispered to him; Let Skrtel stay in the small penalty area and go to the back post.
Benzema has followed Skrtel, and now it is no longer Liverpool's defenders who are marking, but Real Madrid's players who are following Liverpool's defenders; Because Skrtel was getting more and more nervous and embarrassed, his movements on the pitch were not sufficiently natural because the pressure was too much.
The moment Ozil took the corner, Qin Lang rushed out like a cheetah at the near post; Yu Yue rolled on the spot after holding the ball with both hands, and the players on both sides didn't seem to have much reaction, thinking that Qin Lang was just attacking first.
But seeing that Qin Lang, who had just stood up, had not yet run out of the small penalty area, he directly kicked the goal kick with his foot, which made the Real Madrid players feel that something was wrong for a moment; This tactic is a bit familiar, Liverpool's goalkeeper quickly serves the goal kick and counterattacks!
The shocked Real Madrid players seemed to understand that Liverpool had exposed its deficiencies in defense before, so Real Madrid pressed heavily and besieged it thoroughly, wanting to take Liverpool in one go. But now it turns out that it's a poisoned apple coated in honey!
Sturridge's chance came, it didn't matter if the ball landed in front of him, just hurry up; A few of Real Madrid's best headers were squeezed in from the previous corner, including Real Madrid's centre-backs, and this was Sturridge's chance.
The Santiago Bernabeu was in the air and Sturridge had already crossed the centre circle with the ball in stride; Essien and Khedira are scrambling to block Sturridge, and Ramos and others are trying to catch up.
Forced a breakthrough for Khedira and continued to dribble forward!
Qin Lang looked at the front court excitedly, hoping that Sturridge could be stronger this time, and hoped that Sturridge could be faster, because this was really a good opportunity.
Khedira is still chasing back, but he is at least a position behind Sturridge; The teammates behind him are chasing back, but the Liverpool players are also swarming to respond!
Entered the penalty area strongly, Essien could only interfere by his side, and Lopes could only carefully adjust his defensive position; Sturridge's confidence is that he is going to be Liverpool's hero!
In the eighty-first minute of the game, Sturridge, who was running at high speed, suddenly stabbed a shot; Essien stretched out his foot without interference, and Lopes made a save but was half a beat slower.
The Santiago Bernabeu fell silent for a moment as Sturridge's stabbing shot pierced the Real Madrid goal.
1-0, what about Liverpool, who are playing away from home, under siege by their opponents throughout the game, they are now ahead and they now have the initiative to advance to the semi-finals.
Now it's Liverpool's time for revelry, and the victory belongs to Liverpool on the counter-attack! (To be continued.) )
