After four consecutive victories, Liverpool has scored 48 points in the league, which is the same as the fourth-ranked Tottenham, and only one point away from third-place Chelsea. Mobile https://

In the 27th round of the league, even if it faces the Champions League knockout in the middle of the week, Rogers still sent all the main players to play at the crucial moment of the league's fourth game.

Liverpool, playing at home, continue to continue its excellent game state recently. Faced with the visit of Swansea, this time Liverpool played its own game style at home.

Relying on Sturridge's goal in the half and Suarez's score to seal the victory twice, Rogers had the opportunity to rest Gerrard and Suarez in the second half.

The final result of the game was 4-1. Liverpool obviously saved some energy for the Champions League in the second half, and weakened the defense intensity relatively normally, causing its own goal to lose.

This round benefited from the strong match between Manchester City and Chelsea. Manchester City defeated visiting Chelsea 2-0 at home, while Liverpool and Tottenham both won, and the Premier League standings have undergone tremendous changes.

Tottenham and Liverpool scored 51 points and ranked third and fourth in the standings. Chelsea, who had been ranked third before, was ranked 5th with only 49 points due to continuous loss of points.

After the defeat in this round, according to rumors, Chelsea's boss Abramovich was thinking of changing coaches again.

Of course, all of this has nothing to do with Liverpool. Liverpool’s next focus is on its own Champions League knockout.

The outstanding record in the second half of last season allowed Liverpool, the traditional giants of the Champions League, to once again stand on the highest stage in Europe.

It's just that this season is affected by the intensity of the Premier League matches. In this year's Champions League group stage, Liverpool succeeded in qualifying in the group, but the second record in the group was drawn directly to the top of the strongest group. Bayern Munich!

Bayern, with the strongest firepower in the group stage, not only has the top strength in Europe, but also the desire for the Champions League. The strength of the hegemonic level of the Bundesliga this season is also an excellent way for Bayern to fully attack the honor of the European war. opportunity.

Bayern, which has already led second place Dortmund by more than 15 points this season, is able to win five consecutive league victories in the league at the weekend even with its own rotation.

Unlike Liverpool who have to be distracted to guarantee results in the league and compete for the Champions League qualification, Bayern has sufficient physical fitness to face Liverpool's challenges.

To win the home game at Anfield is the most important step for Liverpool to remove the Bundesliga from Malaysia.

Although for more than 20 years, the Premier League has been unable to win the championship, but for Liverpool, as long as they can enter the Champions League these years, they will definitely not be underdog.

In the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool was a frequent visitor in the Champions League knockouts in the past few years. It also won the Champions League at the miracle in Istanbul and became the third most champion in the history of the Champions League.

Although he won last season’s Champions League runner-up and this season’s goal of hitting the Bundesliga and the Champions League German Cup triple crown Bayern Munich, Rogers also wants to try, whether his style of play just established in the Premier League can adapt to the European powerhouse. the match of.

In the first round at Anfield Stadium, both teams played all the main players, for a place in the quarterfinals, to start the first game.

For Liverpool, the regular formation of the recent winning streak remains unchanged, but Rogers still made some fine-tuning in the game.

Sterling replaced the somewhat fatigued Downing in the start on the right in this game to ensure that Liverpool's speed advantage can be guaranteed on the right.

And Jose Enrique's starting position as a left-back, to replace the young teenager Visdom, to further strengthen the team's strength on both ends of the offense and defense.

At the same time, Bayern also dispatched the strongest lineup in addition to injuries.

Due to some minor injuries, Robben did not start this game. Sitting on the bench, Robbery's combination could not be formed. This is definitely a boon for Liverpool's sideline defense.

However, simply speaking of the current lineup, Bayern's Bundesliga class tyrants are undoubtedly revealed. Even with the impact of injuries, Bayern still has a certain lineup strength advantage in terms of the paper strength of the field.

Bayern, under Heynckes, has played very openly on the offensive end this year. The offensive strength of the team is definitely the top level among European giants.

Goalkeeper Neuer, the German national goalkeeper, is already at the top level in the world in terms of goalkeeping ability. What's more, Neuer's defensive range is extremely large. Although he has not yet fully developed the potential of "door guard" by Gua Shuai as in the future, But nowadays, a goalkeeper with a wide range of attacks is a huge addition to Bayern's already secure defense.

On the back line, the left back "Liu Xing", oh no, Alaba, as the future leader of Austria, his excellent forward attack and maturity on the defensive end have won him a solid starting at Bayern. position.

Central defender Van Bitten partnered with Dante, although the two technical styles are not so complementary, but due to injuries, Heynckes can only send this lineup.

However, Van Bitten’s 196cm height is an absolute guarantee for the team’s air defense for Heynckes. Even if Liverpool occasionally transform into a traditional British style of play, for Bayern, it will not give them too much mid-range. Fight for the chance to header.

At the right back position, it is Bayern captain Lahm. It seems that he is not tall, but he is definitely the source of Bayern's team strength and the leader of the Bayern field.

In the midfield, Schweinsteiger and Harvey Martinez partnered with double midfielders, which not only ensured the defense of the midfield, but also used their offensive ability to advance the attack.

On the left side is still Ribery, the world-class left midfielder, and on the right side Robben is the first to watch the game, so Thomas Muller can start and be active on the right side.

The single striker is Mandzukic, who has been starting this season, and in the midfielder position is Heynckes' most trusted player brought back from Leverkusen, the young but very mature Tony Cross.

Bayern Munich’s offensive tactics system this season is extremely good for the use of the two wings, and the players in the center can serve as a point for the ball, but also have considerable finishing ability. The overall offense is extremely smooth.

For Liverpool's two wings, this game, even without the impact of Robery's combination, is destined to bear huge defensive pressure.

Liverpool, who played at home in the first leg, dare not say that the current line of defense can withstand Bayern and take turns on the two sides. However, in order to build an advantage in the first leg, Liverpool is trying to do its best in the defense of the side. , The main goal is to attack, or to continue to attack, to strive for a certain advantage in the home game.

If Anfield, amidst the cheering of tens of thousands of fans, could not win the game, then the chance of Liverpool going to the Allianz Arena in the next round will definitely be even smaller.

"Game start!"

"From the standpoint of the field, Liverpool has made very strict defensive requirements for the two full-backs today!"

"Sturridge and Sterling's position, compared to previous Premier League games, paid much attention to the protection and defense of the wing."

"This is also inevitable. Although Liverpool at home needs to rely on offense to gain an advantage in this game, but facing Bayern, Europe's two top wing attack lines, Liverpool must not slack on the protection of the wing."

Rogers does want to rely on offense in the game and try to master the initiative in this game, but wanting to offense does not mean that Liverpool must completely abandon its defense.

Retrace Sturridge and Sterling's position appropriately, only increasing their attack distance, but in the case of the main center of the field responsible for advancing, although Sturridge still has Sterling on the offensive end, It will consume too much physical energy. However, Rogers believes that the physical strength of the two young people can try to achieve a certain degree of offensive and defensive balance and choose the best cost-effective position. This is also the change that Rogers made to the team in this game. .

Entering February, even in the warm British Isles, this kind of evening game is relatively colder.

Many of the players on both sides of the host and guest wear gloves to keep warm. From the TV footage, it can even be seen that the players breathe out while they are running. It's just a pity that Robben is on the bench today. Robben and his iconic long pants may not appear until the second half.

From the first minute of the game, the two sides directly launched a fierce confrontation. Without too much temptation, the two teams focused on their own offensive power and launched a fierce midfield competition.

"Bayern formed a wonderful frontcourt cooperation in just half a minute."

"After the midfielder Schweinsteiger intercepted the ball, Bayern's counterattack unfolded on the spot. After receiving the pass from Schweinsteiger, Ribery made a wonderful wall-coordination with Kroos, who came to meet him. "

"It's just a series of wonderful passes. When Cross received Ribery's pass and wanted to send Ribery the final through ball, he was blocked by Yang Feng's excellent top grab. ."

In Bayern's powerful breakthrough from the wing, it is different from the previous team with the delicate ability to play the ball in the middle. The advantage of the wing is simply to pass the high point, but can use a more systematic ground attack. Opportunity is what makes Bayern so strong these two seasons.

In this game, Yang Feng's test on the back line is really not small. When attacking from the position, be careful of the ghostly moves of Mandzukic and Thomas Muller. They should not be allowed to respond to the passers and get in the penalty area. Easily grab the opportunity to hit the door.

Secondly, pay attention to Bayern’s midfielder and the wing. It may send various through **** and diagonal passes. Do not allow opponents to pass the ball and tear apart Liverpool’s defense. Yang Feng must pay great attention to the fast-paced game. Mending defense.

Bayern's rough and reckless offensive on the sidelines, but without losing the delicate play, is a huge test for Liverpool's defense every moment.

"Bayern in the away game believes in their own strength very much."

"At Anfield Stadium, Bayern did not choose to be conservative at the beginning and was ready to bring the game back to the Allianz Arena in the second round."

"We can see that Bayern's position is very aggressive, even when Liverpool is trying to organize the offensive in possession of the ball, Bayern has 4 players to grab Liverpool's halftime, giving Liverpool pressure to play in the midfield area. There are also three players in the press defense, which does not give Liverpool a chance to attack easily."

"If Liverpool also intends to take the initiative to attack, then obviously a matchup between the two teams may be inevitable. For fans watching the match, it is absolutely a piece of cake to appreciate a high-level matchup between giants. Good thing!"

Bayern's restrictions and obstacles to Liverpool's midfield attack are very obvious. Even if the full-back receives the ball, it will be forced by Bayern's frontcourt. Those who can easily play the ball are Liverpool's two central defenders.

Fortunately, Yang Feng's own ability to play the ball is very good. When Bayern is forming defensive pressure on other Liverpool players, Yang Feng can also use accurate passes to directly find teammates without passing errors and continue to play for Bayern. Opportunity to fight back.

Yang Feng passed the ball straight and found Glen Johnson, who had been inserted to the right sideline.

Glenn Johnson faced Ribery's press, leaned against Ribery to stop the football, and then crossed to Henderson who came over.

After receiving the ball, Henderson stopped and changed direction, swayed Cross who was defending himself, moved laterally, sent a straight pass in the midfield, and found Gerrard in the middle.

In Bayern’s defense, Gerrard’s offensive threat was clearly focused on the mid-range, and when he came to form an encirclement, Gerrard directly chose to divide the ball, pass the ball diagonally, and pass the ball back to the right.

Alaba was previously inserted by Glen Johnson to attract defensive attention, but he did not expect Sterling, who was cruising to the center, to suddenly use his speed advantage, and then returned to the right, receiving this from Gerrard. A foot pass is completely empty in the entire right area.

"Sirling, after catching Gerrard's through ball that passed deep to the right, before Alaba came back into place, he swept the ball directly to the center on the right sideline of the penalty area!"

"Suarez's follow-up!"

"Own goals?"

"Neuer!"

"Complete the fall save! Put the ball into your arms~www.readwn.com~ Suarez's follow-up, relying on the speed of Van Bitten, who has already thrown off the defense, gained the advantage in position. Easily push the goal, but between Suarez and Sterling, there is also a Harvey Martinez who returned to the defense in time.

In the face of Sterling's pass, Martinez slid and blocked it directly. Although he blocked the ball to his goal at close range and almost caused an own goal, it has to be said that Neuer reacted very quickly at the previous point and knelt directly. Block the ball and hold the ball into your arms.

"Neuer is in a very good state of the game."

"You need to know that in the previous Bundesliga, Neuer suffered a contusion on his finger during the save, but in such a crucial Champions League game, Neuer was slightly injured."

"In this game, Neuer fixed his fingers together to avoid injury again, and then finished today's game with customized gloves."

"This is enough to show that Bayern attaches great importance to Liverpool, to this away game!"
