Chapter 345

The moment when Lin Yi passed the ball was replayed over and over again on TV, nominally to see if Firmino was offside, but in fact everyone was admiring Lin Yi's "magic skills".

Without looking at the passing target or the ball, Lin Yi was looking at Kante nearby when he knocked the ball with his heel. His action made everyone think that he would pass the football to Kante, but it didn't happen. …

If he had looked back, it might have alerted Alonso.

But he didn't do this, so he didn't notice it until the football passed under Alonso's legs...

Liverpool's players ended their celebrations and returned to their own half, with Liverpool fans singing from the stands.

It looks like Liverpool got off to a good start and Gotze's injury doesn't seem to affect them.

Bayern Munich's players are already standing in the center circle, ready for kick-off.

The TV broadcast gave them several sets of close-up shots, and the Bayern Munich players in the shots didn't seem to be hit too hard.

This really makes Bayern Munich fans happy - after losing the ball, what they fear most is that the team will be stunned.Now it seems that Bayern Munich has not been stunned, so we can look forward to their next performance.

How can one be defeated so easily in a duel between masters?
This game has only started for 1 minutes. It is too early to say that they were defeated.

"Now that Liverpool has gained the advantage, how will Bayern Munich react?" the British commentator said.

After the game restarted, Liverpool still had the upper hand with the momentum after taking the lead. Bayern Munich could only shrink its defense for the time being.

But Liverpool did not score another goal in a short period of time.

Bayern Munich's defensive organization during this period was very good, and Neuer's courage to block it also made Liverpool's attacks in vain many times.

Liverpool's continuous attacks on Bayern Munich's goal were fruitless. Instead, Bayern Munich seized Liverpool's opportunity to attack and counterattack.

In the 203rd minute, Bayern Munich launched an attack. Lahm advanced along the wing, received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, and then passed the ball.

Skrtel and Johnson didn't even take off, they just watched the football fly to the front of the small penalty area, and then Lewandowski jumped high and shook his head to attack the goal!
"Lewandowski header——!"

"Ah - Bayern Munich equalized!"

The Anfield stadium fell into a very brief silence when the football flew into the goal, and then the cheers of Bayern Munich fans and the boos of Liverpool fans burst out together.

"Levan! Lewand! Lewand!!" the Munich radio commentator shouted excitedly. "He equalized the score for Bayern Munich! Now both sides have an away goal. Even if Liverpool overtakes again, Bayern will not be eliminated! This goal is very crucial. When Liverpool besieged Bayern Munich, it gave Liverpool a head-on blow! The game The suspense is restored again!”

The Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV jumped to their feet and cheered.

Although the game only lasted 23 minutes, the tension at the last moment had already spread.

"Bayern Munich performed very tenaciously and they quickly equalized the score. This is not good news for Liverpool. After Henderson came off injured, although they took the lead, they were equalized again. Then the impact of Henderson's injury I don’t know if it will gradually show up..." He Wei said.

Fortunately, judging from the close-up shots given by the TV broadcast, it seems that Liverpool's players have not been hit too hard.

At least the Liverpool players who appeared on camera did not show frustrated expressions.

This is normal, just like Bayern Munich did not give up after falling behind. How could Liverpool give up at home just after being equalized by their opponents?

After the game restarted, the two sides exchanged offense and defense, and the scene was relatively balanced. Everyone had a chance. It was difficult to say who defeated the other.

In the 208th minute, Alonso sent a through ball to the right, and Lahm made a pass from the right. However, this time it was not a high ball passed to the goal, but a low ball passed to the front point, with Lewandowski in front. Click for the shot!

Lovren came up to interfere with him, causing his kick to miss.

"so close!"

Then Liverpool launched an attack. In the 301st minute, Lin Yi sent a through ball from the left side of the frontcourt to the left. After receiving the ball, Salah first used a spiking action to shake Martinez away, facing Bo who came to defend. Aten, he swung his foot as if to shoot, and deceived Boateng to fall to the ground to tackle, but Salah just gently pulled the football back with his toes, and just like that, another defensive player was shaken away!
"Two people in a row! Beautiful! Salah!!"

Salah, who got away from Martinez and Boateng, dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Although the angle was not wide, he still chose to shoot!
Neuer was well prepared for this and had already sealed the angle in advance. He fell to the ground and blocked Salah's shot.

This attack also caused the Liverpool fans in the stands to scream again and again. The cheers rang out and fell down, but in the end they all turned into a sigh.

"Oops! Salah! He lost a great opportunity! All his performances before the shot were perfect, but the angle of the final shot was too small... and it was blocked by Neuer. "

In the 40th minute, Liverpool organized another attack, and Lin Yi pulled to the left to ask for the ball.

But as soon as he got the ball, he was kicked from behind by Alaba.

There was a burst of harsh boos from the Anfield Stadium, and the referee's whistle sounded. Alaba was awarded a foul and gave Liverpool a free kick on the left side of the penalty area.

This free kick was taken by Royce and shot directly, but the football went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Gotze dribbled the ball along the wing with great momentum. First, he used a change of rhythm to shake Milner away. Then, facing Royce who came up to defend, he didn't even raise his head and accelerated the ball directly. He rushed past Royce...

Seeing Gotze pass the two Liverpool players at Anfield Stadium, boos broke out all over the place.Amidst the boos, Gotze met Kanter who came up to intercept him. Facing this defensive midfielder, Gotze did not dare to deal with him the same way he dealt with Royce. He slowed down and then A feint and then a cut inside!
Kanter went up to grab the ball, but his speed was a little slower. Instead of knocking the football from Gotze's feet, he knocked Gotze to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Gotze also earned a free kick for Bayern Munich, and this free kick was in a better position than Royce's previous one.

This is in the middle, 30 meters away from the goal.

"Götze's speed was too fast, and Kanter had no choice but to foul..."

Bayern Munich's free kick was taken by full-back Alaba, but his free kick, like Royce's before, was also higher than the crossbar.

However, Bayern Munich's offensive did not weaken because of this, and they made a comeback after 1 minute.

Alaba made a diagonal pass from the left side of the penalty area, and the football was passed to the right side of the top of the penalty area.After Lewandowski received the ball here, he opened the angle and shot!
"Levan! Beautiful—"

The football flew against the turf towards Liverpool's goal!
Mignolet had already lost his center of gravity when Lewandowski feinted before. Now facing Lewandowski's shot, it was difficult for him to make any standard save action. When he fell to the ground , he could only try his best to throw his legs out, hoping to hit the football.

This reflex-like action ultimately saved Liverpool's goalkeeper.

The football kicked by Lewandowski concentrated on Mignolet's calf, then bounced high and over the crossbar...

"Oops! Lewandowski missed a great opportunity! Mignolet made a wonderful save!"

Seeing that the football he shot was blocked by Mignolet with his legs, Lewandowski held his head in his hands with an expression of disbelief - his previous feint was very beautiful and successful, not only did he get away Skrtel in front of him also shook Mignolet's center of gravity. He originally thought that this goal was a sure shot.

Unexpectedly, the football was blocked by Mignolet with his leg...

This is really bad luck!

"This may be Bayern Munich's best chance to score after equalizing the score! During this period, Bayern Munich's two wings were on fire. Liverpool had a very difficult time coping with it, and there were frequent dangers in the defense... Fortunately, in the first half It's almost over, and Klopp still has time to make adjustments at halftime... He must make adjustments, otherwise if Bayern Munich continues to play like this, I'm afraid the opponent will completely take the initiative in the second half..."

In the end, no one was able to break the deadlock in the first half. When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was still 1:1.

This result is actually acceptable to Bayern Munich, because as long as they can draw with Liverpool on the road, they can eliminate their opponents, but Liverpool must equalize the total score, and Bayern must not continue to score away goals.

During the halftime break, Klopp made adjustments to the team in response to the situation where the team was beaten by Bayern Munich's two wings at the end of the first half.However, Klopp's adjustment is not to strengthen the defense on the wing, but... to strengthen the offense on the wing.

He believes that in order to curb Bayern Munich's rampant wing attack, of course, they must use a more rampant wing attack than theirs.When Liverpool's wing attack became more intense, Bayern Munich's wing had to switch to defense. Naturally, it had no time to attack and could not threaten Liverpool's defense.

This approach of "fighting violence with violence" is in line with Klopp's style. He doesn't care at all what to do if there is a gap behind him during the attack. He is very confident in his players.

Coincidentally, in the Bayern Munich locker room, Ancelotti also asked his team to continue to strengthen the offensive on the two wings in the second half.

"Use our speed on the wing to overwhelm them!"

Bayern Munich has more capital than Liverpool to play on the wing, because they have Gotze and Lahm on the right, and Costa and Alaba on the left. These four have extremely strong offensive capabilities and are also very fast. It is completely possible to form that kind of continuous wing offensive and continuously put pressure on Liverpool.

In comparison, Liverpool's offensive power on the wing is slightly worse, especially after Henderson was injured and came off the field, Milner was not able to fully fill the vacancy left by Henderson.

The head coaches of the two teams unanimously chose the wing as the location for the decisive battle.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and played again, and no one made any substitutions.

Because of the same adjustment, the two teams started to fight against each other on the wing.

In the 406th minute, Royce dribbled the ball from the right and sent a cross. Firmino knocked the football away due to Boateng's personal interference. One minute later, Bayern Munich's Costa launched a fast break on the left wing. After a collision with Alonso, he dribbled the ball towards Liverpool's penalty area, but when he finally broke through, he made a slight delay. A little bigger, Manquillo seized the opportunity to cut in, protect the football, and let the football roll out of the baseline.

In the minute, Bayern Munich launched a very threatening attack on the wing again.Alaba sent an overhead ball from the left side of the frontcourt and passed the football to the left side of the penalty area.

After Lewandowski received the ball, he was approached by Lovren, and at the same time Manquillo came over to surround him.Under the pressure of two Liverpool players, Lewandowski was not able to control the football well.The football rolled out, and Mignolet quickly attacked and kicked the football out before Thomas Muller!
The two teams played a big wing offensive. Costa, Gotze, Lahm, Alaba, Salah, Milner, Manquillo, Johnson and other wide players were active and appeared in close-ups many times.

In comparison, the players in the middle seem a little quieter.

The most important thing Lin Yi did during this period was to divide the football into two sides and then another.

In fact, his job is quite important, because choosing the right time to pass the ball is often related to the success or failure of the offense. If the ball is passed too early, his teammates will not be able to catch the ball.After the pass is completed, it slows down the speed of the offense and gives the opponent time to set up a defense line.

But even though the job was important, it wasn't cool enough or flashy enough.How can a simple pass be more eye-catching than dribbling the ball from the wing?

Unless Lin Yi's every pass is "NO_LOOK_PASS", or it's a fancy pass with the heel.

But this is impossible.

Although Lin Yi's appearance rate during this period is not as high as the wide players of the two teams, it does not mean that he can be ignored.

In the 8th minute, Lin Yi received the ball at the edge of Bayern Munich's penalty area. He turned to the right and seemed to be passing the ball to Royce. Bayern Munich responded quickly and the overall defensive focus shifted there. .
