Football’s First Defender

Chapter 699: Champions League knockout round begins

After winning two consecutive victories in the Premier League with an 11-goal difference, Liverpool are about to start their journey in the Champions League.

For Liverpool, although it has recovered within the Premier League in the past two seasons and won the Champions League last season, in the 20 years lost, Liverpool’s position in European football is obviously not as good as other leagues. Traditional giants.

First of all, in the selection of the Golden Globe Awards, Yang Feng, who performed well last season, helped Liverpool win the Champions League and defended the Premier League champion. the third.

All Liverpool fans, especially those looking forward to Yang Feng as the first Chinese fan to win the Ballon d'Or are also very helpless.

The Champions League champion, the Premier League champion, not to mention the two honors, not to mention the impact of Yang Feng's excellent defensive ability on the back line on the opponent, but as a defender, he can score a large number of goals and passes in the season. It's not easy to count double pairs.

But in the final evaluation, last season, Yang Feng, who had added many honors, still could not be the one who broke the monopoly of Melo.

Regarding the Golden Globe award, some people are indignant and some are helpless.

After all, Yang Feng's defeat this time is a pity, and it is far from a scandal. After all, although there is no major competition this year, the results of the national team must also be part of the evaluation. This weakness is that Yang Feng cannot eliminate.

Speaking of the real "shadow", isn't Sneijder more injustice for 10 years? This time Yang Feng's loss in the election can only be said to be somewhat controversial.

As the core of the team's midfield, led Inter Milan to the triple crown, and also as a core player, led the Dutch team to the second place in the summer World Cup.

Whether it is team honors or personal performance, Sneijder deserves the Golden Globe award that year.

Even if Sneijder can't get it, then it should be a World Cup champion player, the Spanish core Xavi or Iniesta won the goal award with the honor of the national team.

In the final selection, Messi still won the final honor. It can only be said that in the evaluation, forward players rely on the number of goals scored by some underdogs in the league. Are they popular?

Anyway, in this year's evaluation, Yang Feng is still unable to shake Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the two strikers with super high exposure in the world football.

After Yang Feng "missed" the golden ball, in the subsequent UEFA Champions League draw, Liverpool, as the defending champion, was clearly targeted by UEFA.

Liverpool's opponent is Atletico Madrid from La Liga.

If it is said that the team that Liverpool most want to encounter before the game, in addition to UEFA's "pro-son" Real Madrid, the last thing they want to encounter is Atletico Madrid, a defensive team with iron and blood defense.

Today’s Atletico, although the staff has gone round in these two seasons and has undergone a lot of changes from the lineup of the previous rising season, under the leadership of coach Simeone, the overall Atletico Madrid still maintains With a very strong combat power.

The team is proud of its iron-blooded defense and excellent counterattack ability. After being dug a group of people by the major giants, after being supplemented by suitable personnel, it still maintains a very good defensive ability.

The first leg of the match between the two sides was played at Anfield Stadium. Liverpool is at home. If you want to advance, naturally you need to do your best.

Liverpool, which is playing at home, must be attacked. If you can't win the game at home, then going to the home of Atletico devil, Liverpool's game command will be even more difficult.

In this game, Liverpool used a 433 formation.

The backcourt players have not changed.

Three midfielders, Henderson, Emre Can, Lallana.

The three frontcourts are Firmino, Coutinho, and Milner.

In the last game, Milner's performance on the right midfielder, in a pretty good case, Klopp continued to use Milner as a right winger.

If the effect is good, you can continue to strengthen the team's offense. If the effect is not good, you can also change to 442 or 451 at any time, no problem.

For Liverpool, the changes made are not big. At home, it must be based on the offense first, to play the best effect on the offensive end, and strive to win the final victory at home.

For Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, in the UEFA Champions League, in a two-round match, he is always willing to use his team's outstanding defensive ability to withstand the opponent's offense, and use the counterattack to give his opponent the most damage.

In this away game at Anfield, Simeone's purpose is very simple, just retreat completely.

As long as he wins a draw, he returns to the home court and he has the advantage of promotion.

If you can score away goals, then you have a greater advantage to advance.

At Atletico Madrid, Simeone’s starting lineup did not come as a big surprise.

The goalkeeper Courtois on loan ended. After returning to Chelsea, Atletico Madrid quickly cultivated a goalkeeper like Oblak.

The taller young goalkeeper ~www.readwn.com~ has no worse response speed on the goal line than Courtois.

After these two seasons, he has become the top group of goalkeepers in La Liga.

Its ability to save on the door line is sometimes even better than Courtois's then.

Atletico Madrid's proud iron-blood defense naturally needs an extremely stable defense line.

The four defensive players are Juan Fran, Savage, Godin, and Felipe Luiz.

Among them, Philippe Luiz really explained what is called the most suitable full-back for Atletico Madrid.

After the Champions League final that year, Felipe Luiz, who performed very well in the Champions League and La Liga, joined Chelsea with his teammate Courtois and Diego Costa at a high price, but Chelsea was a little uncomfortable. Did not play out his strength.

However, after being sold back to Atletico Madrid at a low price by Chelsea, Felipe Luiz has found an excellent form again and has shown excellent strength on both sides of the wing this season.

The midfield is Oliver Torres, Saul, Gabi and Cork.

As the captain of the team, Gabi played a role in the Atletico Madrid team, while Cork, as the core of the team's midfield, is also a player that Atletico is extremely dependent on both offense and defense.

Among the usual 442 formations, the team's double forwards are Griezmann and Bietto.

Both of them not only have strong counterattacks, but they can also perform well in the defensive tasks assigned by Simeone in the game, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.

On such a day, a lineup with a style of Atletico Madrid, on the court, Simeone hopes that he can give Liverpool a win in the away game...
