1399 Bumblebee from scratch
Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, who was standing on the sidelines in sportswear, was in command from the sidelines.
The Dortmund fans in the stands at Wester**** Stadium were in high spirits.
They've seen the Hornets be more aggressive and aggressive at home.
Dortmund did have a good offensive and an extremely wild attacking stance.
It doesn't look like there's anything big about Liverpool!
But Klopp looked solemn, and Liverpool's offensive in the first 20 minutes of the game was tepid, slow, and even one-on-one.
In his eyes, Liverpool have two feelings.
The first is that Liverpool is not in good spirits at all!
Borussia Dortmund seems to be a teenager in Liverpool's eyes, while Liverpool are mature adults.
Haven't raised the spirit yet to officially start a war with Dortmund!
The second is that Liverpool is watching, analysing the game, waiting for Dortmund to do their best!
If it were the former, Liverpool would be underdog and Klopp would think Liverpool were making a mistake.
But if it's the latter, Klopp will think Liverpool are terrible!
IF IT IS LIKE BARCELONA TWO YEARS AGO, NO MATTER WHAT OPPONENT THEY MEET, THEY WILL NOT GIVE THEIR OPPONENT ANY CHANCE, THEY CAN JUST USE THEIR GOOD TIKI-TAKA TO SUPPRESS THE OPPONENT, MAKE THE OPPONENT DIFFICULT TO PARRY, AND THEN CALMLY TAKE THE VICTORY.
This is a flamboyant posture of kinghood.
But what about Liverpool now?
Liverpool did not put on a king's stand, but was very low-key and felt very humble.
Of course, Klopp didn't know that Koeman led Liverpool to his third year, with more and more honors, but his mentality was like walking on thin ice, he knew the truth that a thousand miles of embankment was destroyed in an anthill, and he also knew that he wanted to maintain Liverpool's glory. It is necessary to be more humble in mentality!
So he's always trying, changing, experimenting, trying to make Liverpool find a more perfect state.
Borussia Dortmund are highly anticipated, but they are not considered to be the top team in Europe.
On such an opponent, let the opponent attack Liverpool. And letting Dortmund, a rare Champions League newcomer in recent years, temper Liverpool, is a perfect goal.
Koeman is trying to use Dortmund as a whetstone!
As the 20 minutes passed, Dortmund struggled to create an attack, but they couldn't really create a killing chance in the Liverpool penalty area.
This gave Koeman a bright spot.
The two defensive midfielders moved on the left and right flanks to sweep up, and the defensive efficiency did improve.
Secondly, Thiago Silva at the back can give Liverpool peace of mind.
There are no obvious flaws in Liverpool's defense, although this does not mean that Liverpool will never concede a goal, but it has finally reached a very ideal situation.
If there is any reinforcement in the future, it will naturally be a change between the other centre-back and the goalkeeper, which is all for later. There's no need to be mediocre now.
Koeman walked back to the dugout and sat down, and the Liverpool players on the pitch began to really push back after repeatedly fending off Dortmund's attacks!
In the 24th minute, Piszczek came up from the right to get an assist, he received a pass from Kyle and passed the ball diagonally to Shinji Kagawa, who played with Gotze in a small area, but Gotze was viciously occupied by Lucas before touching the ball and then broke the ball.
After Lucas broke the ball, he passed it to Alonso.
When the ball rolls to Alonso's feet. Liverpool's tepid attacking rhythm suddenly changed!
Alonso looked up at the field in front of him, and the Spaniard, who was watching the situation with a good sense of the situation, leisurely walked and passed the ball at his feet to the left of the field.
It was the defense zone of Piszczek. There's a lot of space there.
Suarez pulled up to the flank to meet Alonso's pass.
After stopping the ball at ****, Suarez dribbled the football to the front of the penalty area.
Kyle and Hummels immediately went on a wrap-and-roll and Suarez turned the ball diagonally back before the two blocked the passing lane.
Qin Xiong, who followed up from the rear, came like a thunderbolt.
Bender originally wanted to harass Qin Xiong defensively.
didn't expect Qin Xiong to kick the ball.
Qin Xiong kept his feet and continued to cut forward after passing the ball to Raul in front of the penalty area.
After the imposing Qin Xiong stepped into the penalty area, Hummels was rushing over to keep an eye on him.
Raul slanted the ball in front of Subotic on Qin Xiong's running line.
Hummels was about to intercept with his feet, and the moment Qin Xiong touched the ball, he slanted the ball towards him. Lian Man rushed behind Subotic with the ball, dodged Hummels' interception, and at the same time made Subotic very embarrassed after turning, Subotic had no other choice but to put a tackle behind his back.
And Subotic didn't dare to shovel yet!
He knew that this foot was down. Most of them are penalties and yellow cards, and there is a high probability of a red card!
Qin Xiong looked calm at the goal, and without waiting for Weidenfeller to react, he pushed the goal into the near corner of the goal from a small angle.
His shot swing posture was not obvious, and Weidenfeller realized that it was too late for Qin Xiong to save after shooting!
The soccer ball swiped a hidden line against the turf and into the goal on the inside of the near post!
Liverpool take the lead at West**** Stadium!
After the goal, Qin Xiong jumped high and threw an uppercut in the air, he roared, and after landing on the ground, Raul smiled.
Raul came to Qin Xiong, and the two raised their hands together, their ten fingers clasped together, and they showed a smug smile face to face.
Suarez also ran over and Liverpool's trident of the game hugged each other.
The West**** Stadium fell silent.
Dortmund fans didn't seem to have come to their senses, and Liverpool's goal just now probably didn't take more than 10 seconds.
From Lucas's break to Qin Xiong's goal, Liverpool's attack seems simple, but the rhythm soars to the extreme in an instant!
The cooperation between Suarez, Qin Xiong, and Raul did not drag the slightest mud and water.
This is a very different rhythm from Liverpool's attacking rhythm before.
"Qin Xiong entered the penalty area to answer Raul's pass and shot successfully!
Although Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund are in an equilibrium in terms of statistics, Liverpool are clearly able to play a more threatening attack after concentrating their efforts.
It is not enough for Dortmund to only blossom and not bear fruit.
Liverpool, on the other hand, are even more sophisticated and cunning, and they let Dortmund attack first, and their own offensive is unhurried, which is bound to make Dortmund let their guard down.
When the opportunity was right, Liverpool suddenly accelerated the tempo, from the passing and receiving of the ball, the speed of offensive advancement, including the frequency of cooperation, the speed of players, etc., we can see that after Liverpool's sudden force, Dortmund is slow in all aspects!
This is one of the strong aspects of defending champions Liverpool, who are used to seeing big scenes and know how to deal with opponents at different levels.
Borussia Dortmund have been out of the Champions League for seven years and now they have to start from scratch. (To be continued.) )
