Section 582 Young Fast Horse
ChineseLiverpool have played against Bundesliga teams this season and last season, but when they played against Bayern, they quickly realized that Bayern Munich is very different from other Bundesliga teams.
Whether it is Bayer Leverkusen or Werder Bremen, although they are slightly inferior in strength, their overall skills and tactics are very suitable for attacking. Against Liverpool, although their backline was full of holes in Liverpool's play, their own attacks also posed a lot of threat to Liverpool.
But this Bayern team is different. Their attack is not much stronger than that of Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen, and it can even be said that it is slightly weaker than the Bremen attack line led by Klose, but their excellent defense is enough to surprise Liverpool.
The hardness of their defence, absolutely world-class. In the midfield, Ballack, Hargreaves, Jeremes and even Schweinsteiger will be very good defensive players, they can protect Bayern's backline from the opponent's attack directly, and in the backline, Ismael and Demichelis are very good defensive players, they are not as easy to break as the defense of other Bundesliga teams, at least they will not be immediately penetrated when facing strong opponents. They don't have the problem of being too weak defensively in the Bundesliga. Relying on the entanglement of Hargreaves, Jeremies and Ballack, they can be regarded as containing Zhao Yaning's attack, so that Liverpool's attack did not work well.
Their attack, on the other hand, is very simple and straightforward – they are used to playing on the two wings, with a pair of exceptionally good full-backs like Sagnol and Lizarazu, who have a lot of assists on the flanks. In the middle, Mackay's ability to grab points and Ballack's ability to insert in the back row are also vividly played with the support of the wings, although the tactics are simple, but they are indeed very practical to play.
In Liverpool's game, McCone suffered a suspension because of the accumulation of yellow cards. Although Riser and Finnan are not bad at skill, they are not as good as the two old guys of Lizarazu and Sagnor, and not long after the game started, both wings fell into a slump.
But even so, Bayern's attack did not have a good effect, and the gap between their central strength and Liverpool was too great. The game between the two sides has been a stalemate.
After Zhao Yaning got the ball again, he just rushed forward a few steps forward with the ball, and was entangled by the opponent's Jeremes. Zhao Yaning tried to shake it twice, but did not shake him off, at this time Ballack also ran over, and Zhao Yaning could only give the ball to Figo with one kick.
But at this point, Hargreaves made a tackle and got the ball to his feet before Figo could touch it.
Zhao Yaning sighed and threw himself into the counter-attack: the schedule was too tight, and almost every game was a vicious battle, which made it difficult for Liverpool's main players to get a break. Zhao Yaning is okay to say, but Gerrard, who originally relied on a wide range of running, and Figo, who is 34 years old, are difficult to withstand this kind of intensity of the game.
In this game, Liverpool's frontline was generally sluggish, and the running was not active enough, which is also a reason why they have not been able to open up the situation so far.
And in this game, Bayern arranged Jeremes to defend Zhao Yaning, so that Hargreaves and Ballack assisted in the defense of the idea is also very good - Jeremes is not as old as he was younger, he began to decline after the 02 World Cup, and he played in the European Cup in 04, but he didn't play well. If the physical strength decreases, it is inevitable that the defensive ability will decline, which is a hard injury.
However, his task in this game is to keep an eye on Zhao Yaning, and he doesn't need him to be responsible for the transition between offense and defense, nor does he need to go forward to break through, just look at Zhao Yaning in the backcourt. The player's resilience and toughness have allowed him to do the job well, after all, he is the one who dares to yell at Vieira 'our midline is your bottom line', although he lacks strength, but he is never behind with tenacity and hard work.
And Hargreaves, who is named on the left wing, and Schweinsteiger, who is named on the right wing, are constantly inducting to complete the sweep in the backfield for him, dominate the wing, interrupt the work of cooperation, and with Ballack's support from time to time, they have indeed succeeded in guarding Zhao Yaning.
'Liverpool are still affected by the horrible schedule. Seeing that Liverpool couldn't open the situation for a long time, Martin Taylor still commented on them, "It looks like they are really tired. The most important thing for the style of playing oppressive football is the physical guarantee. And now Liverpool, physical problems, directly led to their lack of front-court counter-robbery, which made their overall decline. ”
"Yes...... But to be honest, Zhao Yaning is also a little sluggish in this game, which is rare. I always thought that his physical strength would never be afraid of any confrontation. ”
"Physical fatigue is easy to deal with, but it is mainly psychological fatigue that is difficult to deal with. There are so many games in a row against strong opponents, and you have to tighten your nerves all the time, and under such pressure, psychological exhaustion is even more fatal. ”
In fact, at this time, Zhao Yaning did have an idea in his heart: his teammates are very tired, this game is still away, although he is confident that Liverpool's strength is only stronger than Bayern, but under such physical strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win the game. It would be a good idea to get a draw and then go back to Anfield to fight for the win. It's a good thing for everyone to save some energy.
It's just that at this time, although he changed his mind, he still didn't dare to do it. After all, giving up the game so easily is not something he likes to do. But even so, when he was playing, he was afraid that his teammates would not be able to keep up, so he slowed down, which also made Bayern's defense much easier.
Zhao Yaning doesn't know, this is psychological fatigue: psychological fatigue does not refer to the tiredness of not wanting to move, but a kind of psychology that makes excuses for one's laziness.
When he got the ball again, Zhao Yaning did not immediately seek a breakthrough, he tried to shake the ball twice, and after seeing that Jeremes who was defending him did not make much movement, he made a long pass to Gerrard in the front court.
Gerrard received the ball and fired a shot straight at the goal. Kahn lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm, and such an overly simple attack was not enough to break through his goal.
Until the end of the first half, the two sides were in a stalemate, and the score did not change much.
"Liverpool's attack has not been able to open the situation, such a stalemate, but it is uncomfortable enough. However, this is Bayern Munich's home stadium after all, and they will definitely step up their attack in the second half, so let's see how Liverpool will choose to respond. ”
Although they thought that there would be changes on both sides, the commentators were still surprised when they saw Liverpool's adjustment after halftime, "Liverpool replaced Theo Walcott...... It was a surprising choice, a seventeen-year-old was entrusted with a big role in the competition, but could it really be successful? ”
At this time, Zhao Yaning understood very well the latest chapter of the chic substitution of the coach for Walcott. Bayern and Liverpool are now at a stalemate, either because Bayern are stronger or because both sides are able to contain each other's attacks. The key to Bayern's excellence is that Liverpool's current midfield is tired and lacks enough counter-attacking pressure and enough counter-attacking speed.
Volko's special ability is not good, speed is his biggest guarantee. It is precisely because he can fill in one of Liverpool's most lacking links, bringing vital counter-attacking speed to Liverpool in this game, that Benitez will replace the inactive Figo and replace Walcott.
His pace will help Liverpool immensely, and the key is how to create the right opportunities for him.
Soon, Liverpool got their chance.
Ballack's long-range shot resulted in a corner, and in the chaos, the ball was headed to Schweinsteiger's feet. Instead of daring to shoot, he kicked the ball to Lizarazu on the wing. Lizarazu played a long pass, but it was set by Nemanja Vidic. The ball reached Zhao Yaning's feet, and when Zhao Yaning turned around, he had already seen the general emptiness on the opponent's side.
Kick and pass!
The moment Walcott got the ball, he was already rushing out quickly. He started near his own penalty area, but by the time Lizarazu turned, he had already crossed the halfway line.
It's so fast......
It's not just Lizarazu who thinks so, Zhao Yaning also crosses the same idea at this time. He was a little higher forward than Walcott just now, and he didn't have to turn around, but the two of them stepped over the halfway line almost at the same time, and after halftime, Walcott even threw off Zhao Yaning. This kind of unguarded stride is his favorite way to play, simple and direct, just crazy raids, and he can do this kind of thing better than anyone else.
Zhao Yaning didn't relax, he also plugged in from the middle. Ismael was near the penalty area, while Demichelis was near midfield. They have all begun to defend back, although Walcott is fast enough, but the technique is not good enough, he faces two defenders alone, Zhao Yaning is still worried. By this time, he had already increased his speed to the limit, trying to catch up, trying to help Walcott.
Demichelis followed Zhao Yaning, but speed was not his forte, and he was also thrown off a bit. In the vicinity of the penalty area, Walcott had already changed direction to kill in the penalty area, and Ismael judged his position and chose to stand. For such an opponent, Ismael also knows very well that once he is passed, it is absolutely impossible to chase back. However, he also has to bet that with such a high-speed state, it is absolutely impossible for Walcourt to change direction.
And the truth is as he expected, Walket really couldn't change direction, but just as Walcoat approached Ismail, Ismail stretched out a good kick and stopped in front of him. Walcoat was a little embarrassed to protect the ball, and he kicked the ball into the midfield, but passed it almost without looking at anyone.
He's got a terrible pass and he's not in a good position. But at this time, such a pass is enough, in the backfield, as long as Zhao Yaning and Demichelis chase back in the middle, Zhao Yaning accelerated one step and expanded the distance between him and Demichelis again, and the moment he grabbed the ball, he had already rushed into the penalty area with the ball.
With a roar, Karn burst out of the box. But at this time, his roar did not interfere with Zhao Yaning, but made Zhao Yaning calm down a little: finally got a single knife, and it was much easier to do it this time.
Kahn's attack blocked Zhao Yaning's best shooting angle, but at this time, Zhao Yaning had already judged his position. Sideways, ready, and kicked, Zhao Yaning pushed the ball low and pushed the ball out quickly against the ground, Kahn immediately fell to the ground, but after all, he was still a step slower, and the football rolled under him into the net!
