Chapter 338
On April 4, the Champions League semi-finals kicked off, with Liverpool visiting the Allianz Arena.

Semi-final opponent Bayern is a familiar opponent for Lin Yi and Klopp, and Germany is half a home field for Lin Yi. At least among football players, there is no one more famous than him. player of.

So although it was an away game, there were still many German fans wearing Lin Yi's jerseys who entered the Allianz Arena to support Lin Yi.

Before the game started, the commentators were busy announcing the starting lineups of the two teams for this game.

Bayern Munich and Liverpool both fielded the strongest lineups they could field, leaving nothing to chance.

Liverpool's starting goalkeeper is Mignolet, with Manquillo as the right back, Johnson as the left back, and Skrtel and Lovren as central defenders.In the midfield, Kante serves as the defensive midfielder, Lin Yi is in the front and center as the attacking midfielder, Royce is on the side, and Salah and Henderson are on the left and right.There is Firmino on the front line.

Bayern Munich's formation is similar to that of Liverpool. The starting goalkeeper is Neuer, the right back Lahm is also the captain, the left back Alaba, and the center backs are Boateng and Alonso.Alonso and Thiago partnered in the midfield, Muller was in the center in the frontcourt, Gotze and Costa were separated on the left and right, and Lewandowski was at the front and center.

After the players on both sides stood still, the referee on duty for this game, the famous Italian whistler Nicola Rizzoli, blew the whistle and the game officially started!
Bayern Munich was the first to kick off the game. Both sides were fully prepared for this game. Therefore, after the game started, there was no test and they all directly started attacking and fighting.

First, Bayern Munich took advantage of their kick-off opportunity to launch an attack that ended with Lewandowski's shot going over the crossbar.

Immediately afterwards, Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to gain possession of the ball and launched a fierce attack on Bayern Munich's goal.

Lin Yi sent a wonderful pass to Royce. Royce cut inside with the ball and shot. The football hit the side netting in the near corner, causing a burst of exclamations from the stands.

Some commentators couldn't see clearly and almost thought it was a goal.

"Royce! It's so dangerous!"

"Almost scored a goal!"

"Just over two minutes into the game, Liverpool had such a threatening shot! It seems that today's game is a good one to watch!"

"Lin Yi almost completed an assist just now. Royce's shot was too angular..."

Royce himself was upset that he failed to seize this opportunity, but he also did not forget to thank Lin Yi who passed the ball to him. After regretting with his hands on his head, he turned around to find Lin Yi and gave him a big thumb.

Lin Yi also returned a thumbs up.

Royce didn't score the goal, so he didn't care. Anyway, it wasn't a particularly good opportunity. If he didn't score, he didn't score.The game is still long. If the goal can be scored, it will be great. If it can't, it's okay. Just keep working hard.

Lin Yi was closely monitored by Bayern Munich during the game. No matter where he moved, there would be at least one Bayern Munich player around him. And once the football came to him, the Bayern Munich players around him would move very quickly. , surrounded him.

For Lin Yi, this requires him to handle the ball faster and more accurately, and also requires him to minimize the time the football is under his feet.

Lin Yi is no stranger to this kind of marking intensity. He often received such treatment in the Champions League. It would be strange if he didn't.

In this regard, Lin Yi will not feel that there is any too much trouble.

There is no completely airtight defense in the world, nor is there a truly inseparable marking.The fact that the opponent has strengthened their defense does not mean that they have no chance at all in this game.

However, Lin Yi is already very familiar with these routines. Countless teams have targeted him in this way, and he has already expected this.

No matter how tight the defense is, he can find opportunities.

In fact, if he were Ancelotti, he would not put so much effort into himself, but would closely monitor his teammates.

It's much less expensive to defend that way.

Instead of like now, even if Bayern Munich invests the defensive power of two players on themselves, it may not be able to achieve very good results, and they will also weaken the defensive power of other Liverpool players because they care too much about themselves. …

Although Bayern Munich has strengthened its defense against Lin Yi, it cannot really freeze Lin Yi completely. He can always see the opportunity and send out passes. Some passes are simply fatal...

After Royce shot the ball on the side net, Bayern Munich did not shrink its defense, but continued to fight against Liverpool.

But as the game progressed, under Lin Yi's organization, Liverpool's offense was obviously more threatening.

In the 10th minute, Liverpool stole the ball in the backcourt and took advantage of Bayern Munich's transition from offense to defense to launch a quick counterattack.

Lin Yi dribbled the ball forward in a diagonal direction, and then passed the football straight to the front of Royce. It was also a weak point in Bayern Munich's defense.

After passing the ball, Lin Yi did not stop, but accelerated forward.

Bayern Munich's defense quickly returned to defense, and Boateng went to the outside to resist Royce's path.In this way, even if Royce receives the ball, the chance of cutting in and shooting directly is slim.

When Royce received the ball, Boateng was indeed stuck in the direction he was going.

Royce had no choice but to slow down, but at this time Lin Yi had already advanced at high speed and headed straight for the middle of the penalty area, so Royce did not waste any time and immediately sent the football over, intending to send a through pass to Lin Yi.

This pass was indeed so sudden that another Bayern Munich center back Alonso who was retreating wanted to stop and intercept, but fell backwards due to inertia.

However, although Alonso fell down, his trailing leg miraculously blocked the ball passed by Royce!

While Lin Yi was running, he also turned back to pay attention to the situation behind him. When he saw the ball, he did not follow him, but was blocked by Alonso.And it was really "blocked back" in the literal sense - the football returned to the same path and fell to Royce's feet!
Lin Yi quickly braked - he was afraid that if Royce passed the football to him in an instant and he was offside, this offensive opportunity would be wasted.

But Royce's reaction was not as fast as Lin Yi expected. When the football bounced back to his feet, he shot directly!
A little outside the penalty area line, he swung his legs on the spot and shot!
Royce is indeed very good. Even though he was swinging his legs on the spot and unable to exert force, his kick was still powerful and heavy, which was very threatening!
Just a little higher, Neuer jumped and missed the football. The football flew straight into the stands where Bayern Munich fans gathered behind the goal.

It caused a burst of exclamations and screams from the stands - that kick just now was also very threatening. "Royce shot! It was high! Another great opportunity was missed!"

Four minutes later, Liverpool made a comeback.Rewa sent a direct pass in the midfield to Lin Yi, who was running diagonally in front.

Faced with such a pass, Bayern Munich made preparations in advance. Thiago, who was following the defense, took the lead and got stuck in Lin Yi's path.Lin Yi will hit him directly when he catches the ball.

Not to mention passing the ball, it would be nice to be able to keep the ball.

But at the moment when Lin Yi was about to hit Thiago, he used his left heel to knock the ball from Reiva directly into the middle. At the same time, someone else bumped into Thiago, and the two fell to the ground.

And the football has been passed by Lin Yi with his heel to Firmino in the middle!

Firmino attempted to shoot directly, causing Alonso, who was about five meters in front of him, to block with his body, but the Pole let the football roll past him and completed the adjustment and dodge. Two functions.Then he moved sideways and raised his right foot again, this time for real!

A long shot with a curve ball!

The football flew past Alonso and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

"Firmino—!!"

Amid the exclamations of the British commentator, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer jumped up almost as a reflex, raised his arms and dragged the flying football out of the crossbar!

"Manuel Neuer! Wonderful save! Wonderful shot!"

"Liverpool got consecutive shooting opportunities after the opening, threatening Bayern Munich's goal almost every time. It seemed that they were just a little bit away from scoring! But just that... they didn't succeed! But judging from the scene , Liverpool has obviously gained the upper hand..." He Wei gushed.

Bayern Munich indeed found no advantage at all during this period. On the scene, Liverpool was all threatening their goal, but Bayern Munich's counterattack was very weak.

This made Bayern Munich fans at the scene and in front of the TV anxious.

But they have nothing to do, they can only hope that Liverpool's opening three tricks will pass quickly.

But Liverpool's offensive has no intention of weakening at all.

After the corner kick was taken, it was punched out by Neuer and fell to the feet of Lin Yi outside.Lin Yi did not pass the ball immediately, but was observing.

The Bayern Munich players watched the football fly out and quickly pressed forward in an attempt to leave the Liverpool players who had not reacted behind and fell into an offside situation.

Seeing this, Lin Yi immediately shifted the football to the right, and gave it to Royce who had just taken a corner kick and ran back, and he was not offside!

Royce received a pass from Lin Yi on the wing without marking.

At this time, Bayern Munich's players had to retreat quickly, fearing that the unmarked Liverpool players behind them might take advantage of them.

If Royce dribbles the ball to the bottom line and then crosses, it is not offside.According to the rules, at the moment of passing the ball, if the receiving player is behind the football, no matter how many defensive players are in front of him, he is not offside.

As a result, Bayern Munich could only switch to offense in a hurry. This kind of continuous offensive and defensive transfers is the most likely to cause problems.

And Liverpool is playing such an opportunity!
After Royce took a step, he kicked a cross!

He didn't pass the high ball, and the football flew to the goal against the turf!
Firmino attracted everyone's attention in the middle, so few people noticed that Salah suddenly moved forward and fell to the ground at the front point to shoot!

The place where he shot is already in the corner of the small penalty area!

Very close to the goal!

With such a powerful shot, at such a short distance, the football flew to the goal before even the audience had time to exclaim!
At this time, it’s Neuer again!
He once again made a world-class save, fell to the ground and expanded the defensive area. At this time, he no longer cared about whether he was throwing the ball with his hands. As long as he can block the football, any part of his body doesn't matter.

Sure enough, the football hit his chest directly, and after a muffled bang, it bounced high and flew out of the baseline!

"Neuer——! Great save! Amazing!!" the British commentator exclaimed.

"Liverpool once again created a threat in front of the goal, but they still failed to break through Bayern Munich's last line of defense - goalkeeper Neuer! If it hadn't been for Neuer, Liverpool might have been two goals ahead!"

The commentators all exclaimed and praised Neuer's performance.

Neuer, who made this wonderful save, stood up and yelled hard with his fists clenched. This was not only because of his outstanding performance, but also to boost the morale of the whole team.

From the start of the game, the initiative fell to Liverpool. Bayern Munich was beaten by Liverpool in a very embarrassed manner.At this time, he, the goalkeeper, needs to stand up and make everyone feel at ease.

Salah, who had not scored a goal, put his hands behind his head and looked at Neuer who got up from the ground in disbelief.

He felt that his shot was very beautiful. He hit the football firmly with the instep of his foot. Such a powerful and heavy shot could actually make Neuer save... Is this guy still human?
Although Bayern Munich fans are applauding Neuer's save, they also have a shadow in their hearts - even if Neuer saves the opponent's shot this time, can he save the opponent's shot every time?If Bayern Munich keeps pressing Liverpool like this, it will only be a matter of time before they lose the ball!

"After the opening, Bayern Munich has been beaten. It seems that being reversed by Liverpool in the league and winning the league championship still has an impact and blow on the team... I feel that when the Liverpool players faced Bayern Munich, They have a strong psychological advantage and are not afraid of Bayern Munich at all, and they are also very familiar with Bayern Munich. On the other hand, Bayern Munich is a bit restrained in the face of Liverpool's aggressive offensive and cannot let go..." He Wei analyzed.

"Although they imposed many restrictions on Lin Yi, Lin Yi's performance after the opening was still very outstanding. He completely grasped the situation on the court. Every threatening attack by Liverpool was related to him!"

Liverpool's advantage continues, or Liverpool's offensive has become more ferocious.
