Speed?

Right now?

Looking at the time on the big screen of the scene, Klopp frowned slightly.

Bayern Munich, who are behind, really need to attack.

But so far, Klopp doesn't see any changes in them.

Do you want to use today's tactics and personnel to launch a sudden attack?

If so, it would be great to have a cold counter-attack to extend the lead further.

Under the command of Heynckes, Bayern's formation began with a focus near the center circle.

Seeing this, Firmino tried to press forward to see how his opponent reacted.

Hummels quickly opened wide after passing the ball to Alaba.

Salah also pressed forward to limit Alaba's pass.

In such a situation, Alaba opted to pass back to the goalkeeper.

Neuer, known as the "goalkeeper", has a very large range of attacks and can act as a defender to coordinate the pass.

If Salah wants to continue pressing, he can calmly pass to the other side.

In this way, when Liverpool's pressure was not very tight, Bayern began to press the formation through the half through such a pass and passed the ball in the opponent's half for a long time.

This is not a very good phenomenon.

Liverpool, as a team with outstanding running ability, the core of the tactics is to control the ball in the opponent's half as much as possible through running.

Now being pressed by the opponent in their own half is a very dangerous signal.

Jurgen Klopp pointed in front of him and motioned for the player to press forward.

Once the Liverpool player pressed forward, Bayern passed the ball back and passed it to the weak side through Neuer.

Bayern's move was slow, but the Liverpool players had to move quickly to the weak side to set up their defenses.

There were no intense physical confrontations, no exciting attacks, and the two sides entered a relatively dull rhythm of the game.

The fans at the scene saw that once Bayern attacked the half-half area, the Liverpool players immediately started to steal.

And when Bayern was pressed by the opponent, they began to move the ball unhurriedly to avoid its edge.

Liverpool pressed past half-time and then retreated.

Such and such.

Klopp is a little puzzled, is the lagging Bayern so unhurried?

Do you want to make mistakes first?

With this kind of play, Liverpool can be with you until tomorrow!

Forget it, don't think about it for now, let's wait and see what happens.

Klopp returned to the lounge area and took a leisurely sip of water.

He has to keep his throat moist so that he can roar loudly after the team scores.

Heynckes was off the pitch and watching the game.

After winning possession, he points straight ahead as soon as the ball falls to the back.

Bang!

Kimmich takes the ball high from the back and plays it to the right front.

Lewandowski switched to the right, and after chesting the ball down, he found Henderson rushing from one side and passing the ball back to Hames.

Liverpool's mobbing target pounced on Hames again.

After a couple of passes from Thiago, he couldn't find the right spot and returned the ball.

Heynckes applauded his disciple's calmness.

But the fans couldn't help it.

The game has come to 60 minutes, and the team still passes the ball unhurriedly, without the slightest desire to attack.

Now it's backward, and the opponent is Liverpool, who can run and grab, so if you don't put pressure on him in the early stage, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the later stage.

"The current situation is that Bayern can't break through Liverpool's defense, and if you continue to play like this, you won't be able to score goals."

A reporter at the scene said in the commentary room of the stands.

Carragher, who was with him, disagreed.

"At the moment, Bayern really can't threaten Liverpool's penalty area."

The reporter immediately laughed and interjected: "Jamie, you said the penalty area, not the goal, which shows how weak Bayern's attack is." ”

Carragher shrugged his shoulders and admitted: "It's true, it's hard for Bayern to get on Liverpool's big box, let alone shoot. But you found out no, they started trying to get off the ball from the back and look for some chances. ”

As soon as the words fell, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer took the ball from the back and gave it to Rossi on the wing.

But Van Dijk was quick to press on and make a fierce tackle.

Rossi, who was forced to the touchline, was surrounded by two Liverpool players and carried the ball with his back.

Eventually, it was Virgil van Dijk who poked the ball out of the touchline.

"Good 'Henry-style' ball protection, although Rossi didn't hand over the ball, he couldn't take a step forward to attack."

"There are almost zero offensive opportunities like this."

Faced with questions from reporters, Carragher said: "You are right, such an attack is really not threatening, but there is still half an hour to go. ”

"As long as Bayern can take a chance in half an hour, they can score."

Facing a negative look from reporters, Carragher asked rhetorically: "Have you found out, although Bayern does not threaten to attack many times, but every time they attack, they are consuming Liverpool players." ”

'Ever since Bayern started to press past half-time, Liverpool have struggled to get the ball converted.

"I'm thinking Klopp should have found out too."

Yes.

Jurgen Klopp got up and stood on the sidelines.

Even when Bayern began to try to pass the ball at the back, Liverpool rarely got the ball converted.

If it's Italy or a team that is retrenched defensively, that's a situation they'd love to see.

But Liverpool is not.

They are not a big team, and retrenching the defence will only compress the space for movement and limit the players to their characteristics.

The transformation of rarely getting the ball is the most direct embodiment.

So, under Klopp's orders, Liverpool continued to start their oppression.

Bayern, who have fully integrated the game into their hands, is no longer afraid of the pressure that Liverpool started with.

Kimmich, Thiago and James are a technical midfield that completely dominates the midfield.

If the first half was Liverpool's numerical advantage over Bayern's technical advantage.

Now, Bayern's technical advantage has been reversed.

If they want to be fast, they use a straight plug to speed it up.

If you want to be slow, you can use lateral passes to slow down the tempo.

In the 68th minute, Thiago picked up the ball in the center circle and saw Rossi in the front.

After the feint is freed, pass the ball forward.

After Rossi stopped the ball lightly on the outside of his foot, Fabinho, who was defending the front, immediately pounced on it and wanted to break the ball.

Rossi pulls the ball back with his right foot and pushes forward, avoiding a steal and breaking down the other side.

In the next second, the ball was swept by Van Dijk, who was on guard, and flew near the center circle.

Van Dijkla picked up his teammates and said: "Don't pounce, stand still, I'm behind." ”

Fabinho, greatly encouraged, nodded.

The ball landed in the midfield, and players from both sides began to scramble.

Martinez did his best to win the ball and before he fell to the ground, he distributed the ball to Rossi, who retreated to pick up.

Rossi, who switched to the right side, completed a "two-by-one" with Hames, shook the defender, and continued to advance with the ball.

Virgil van Dijk heads out of the box and defends Rossi.

After seeing his dexterity, he didn't dare to be careless, and he defended sideways, retreating while guarding.

"Top out, top out!!"

Jurgen Klopp shouted from the sidelines.

At this stage, Liverpool's defense is intact, and Van Dijk should go out to interfere with the ball carrier, and then hand it over to the defender Fabinho to fill in.

But Van Dijk prioritised his zone defence and was not broken by Rossi, ignoring the situation behind him.

Rossi glanced up and kicked the ball hard with his right foot.

The shot looked like a shot, but the ball drew a galloping arc, stuck to the turf, bypassed Lewandowski in the middle, and ran to the back post.

Thomas Muller, when the ball was about to go off the line, fell to the ground and slid the ball into the net.

Yes!!!!!

The stands of Bayern fans, which had been silent for a long time, finally erupted in deafening cheers.

After listening to "You'II Never Walk Alone" for so long, I couldn't help it.

Now, at last, I don't need to endure it.

"Oh~Oh~Oh~Oh~"

"Oh~Oh~Oh~Oh~"

"Seven Nation Army", under the scarves waved by fans, resounded at Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
