1133 Iron-hearted defense

The recent update time is unstable, please forgive me.

Pep Guardiola's expression changed slightly after seeing the football fly into the goal, and Liverpool's focus on pressing in the midfield and then grasping the transition between attack and defense and quick counterattack can be said to hit the key point of Barcelona.

The most important thing is that since Barcelona has chosen to pass and control the opponent, the space in the midfield will naturally be enlarged, leaving too much attacking space for the opponent.

Qin Xiong, a speed-type player like Torres will bring Barcelona a nightmare!

Pep Guardiola's frustration is that Barcelona knows that the opponent will deal with them like this, but Barcelona's overall style of play cannot be changed, and the core tactical concept cannot be overturned.

It's like letting Barcelona play defensive counterattack, it's not impossible, but the effect is definitely very poor, because the concept they have adhered to for a long time is not to play defensive counterattacks, and they will also seize the opportunity to change the rhythm of the game after the transition between attack and defense, but it does not mean that they can focus on counterattacking after the overall formation shrinks!

With the Reds flag flying in the stands at Anfield and the cheers of the Reds fans were earth-shattering, Pep Guardiola was truly aware of the dangers of visiting Anfield, and even the two-legged clash with Liverpool must have been extremely difficult.

Torres ran around the field, and after Qin Xiong caught up with him, the two hooked shoulders and enjoyed the cheers of the fans together, and the picture of the two raising their arms and waving their fists on the left and right made countless Reds fans feel intoxicated.

"Fernando Torres! He opened the scoring for Liverpool, and Qin Xiong provided him with an assist after a wonderful personal breakthrough, and this goal reflected the tacit understanding between Qin Xiong and Torres! The timing of the pass was seamless, and Barcelona's pressing attack exposed more space at the back. In the end, he was punished! ”

Koeman clapped his hands on the sidelines and praised the players' performance. He had to restrain his emotions. After all, the game has just begun, and now is not the time to rejoice!

The Barcelona players will continue to play in a pass-and-possession manner after the restart, and their confidence will not be hit, and how can the division of last season's kings, who have experienced all the winds and waves, easily shake their faith and will?

In the 17th minute of the game, Messi received a pass from Iniesta on the right side and made a personal dribble breakthrough.

Aurelio, Mascherano and Alonso surrounded him, and Messi couldn't find a breakthrough line to cut inside. He pulled the ball back in front of Mascherano and then half-turned and crossed.

The ball was passed very discreetly, the ball went around the middle of Carragher and Skrtel, what appeared to be a pass for Ibrahimovic, but in fact it went deeper, and if no one touched, the ball would fly to the outside of the far post.

Pedro shrewdly shook off Johnson and cut into the box, and he went straight to the back of the box to shoot!

Reyna was similarly highly focused, moving towards the back of the box after the ball had flown in and after he had reached the far post. It happened to be a head-on encounter with Pedro, who was scrambling to shoot.

Pedro's shot was blocked by Reina with his foot!

The scene was extremely thrilling, Messi's face became solemn after seeing Pedro's shot blocked by Reina on the right side in front of the penalty area.

I didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity. It can be very difficult to have it again next time.

Pep Guardiola hugged his bare head directly on the sidelines, his wide eyes seemed to be full of incredulity, Pedro was his favorite player, but it was a pity that he couldn't perform magic this time.

Ibrahimovic's expression was a little unsightly, for the simple reason that he still received too little support.

"Messi's cross gave Pedro a golden chance, but Pedro's close scoring opportunity was wasted, Reina blocked his inevitable shot with his foot and Liverpool escaped!"

The Reds fans in the Anfield stands breathed a sigh of relief, the scene just now did make their hearts flutter, but fortunately there was no danger.

Although Liverpool is playing at home, Barcelona is more dominant in terms of the number of attacks and offensive opportunities, especially the time of possession, but in terms of efficiency, the two teams are still evenly divided.

In the 21st minute of the game, Ibrahimovic turned in front of the penalty area and forced his foot to shoot, the football was blocked by Carragher with his body, and Skrtel cleared the ball with a big foot in the penalty area.

The football flew to the midfield, Qin Xiong moved to the front of the football landing point, jumped before Keita and took the ball away with **** stopping the ball, and then knocked the ball behind him after landing and turned into a reverse cut line to catch Keita off guard, Qin Xiong's change of direction breakthrough made Liverpool once again get a good opportunity to attack.

He began to dribble at a brisk pace, with Alves and Maxwell both full-backs moving in front of the box to act as barriers.

Qin Xiong completed the wall collision with Torres in front of the penalty area, and the cooperation between the two was particularly skillful and tacit, this time Qin Xiong did not run into the penalty area, but used Torres as the fulcrum, and he came to the right position from the left position in front of the penalty area.

When Torres passed the ball back, Qin Xiong met the ball and hit the goal directly!

The ball flew like a cannonball into the top right corner of the Barcelona goal.

Valdés quickly moves sideways three steps and jumps to make a save!

He magically hit the racket with one palm to the bottom line!

Even Qin Xiong was a little shocked, he thought that the goal would definitely be scored!

"Valdés has done a meritorious service! Qin Xiong received Torres's return pass in front of the penalty area and hit the goal with a heavy shot, we all thought that this goal would be scored, but we didn't expect Valdés to make a world-class save, he didn't let Barcelona concede the second goal in 10 minutes, good, Qin Xiong shot beautifully, Valdés saved even more exciting! ”

The Anfield stadium was filled with sighs from Reds fans, followed by thunderous applause.

Red Army fans will not be stingy with Qin Xiong's support, and now as long as Qin Xiong touches the ball, everyone will feel that it is a kind of enjoyment.

Qin Xiong's on-court performance was also evaluated by "Echo" as: touching the ball is a wonderful highlight.

Valdés actually had palpitations after he got up from the ground.

He knows how dangerous that goal could be and that could just be the start of the day, and there will certainly be more attacking opportunities for Liverpool.

Judging from the current situation, Liverpool, who is determined to defend and counterattack, cannot be contained by Barcelona, in this case, Valdés must naturally be mentally prepared.

One world-class save is simply not enough!

Liverpool's determination to play defensively and compress the defensive space in the midfield is also vividly reflected in the corner kick attack, except for Gerrard coming up, there are no extra attacking players in the corner attack.

The way Qin Xiong drove the corner kick made the Barcelona fans very speechless.

Return! (To be continued.) )
