The European Super Cup penalty defeated Chelsea, the Champions League has eliminated Juve and Bayern, la Liga played Madrid double males to win 4 draws, the yellow submarine has long been in front of the strong team to show the "fangs"! But coming to Anfield, the whole process of passive beating, may also announce the end of the big dark horse's Champions League journey.
Why can't I keep it? Huang Qian could not keep up with Liverpool's rhythm and intensity
Six years ago, in the semi-finals of the Europa League, Liverpool's opponent was Villarreal; the manager of the Reds at that time was already Klopp, but his opponent was changed from Marcelino to Emery, and the squads of both sides have changed dramatically; now these two teams are completely out of the same grade. However, in this game, Liverpool's tactical thinking is highly similar to the second leg of the Europa League elimination of the yellow submarine that year - with continuous pressure, playing a rhythm and game intensity one or two grades higher than the opponent, crushing the opponent!
Of course, Emery is not Marcelino, since he took over Huang Qian, by introducing a number of players who have played in the Premier League/Championship, he has injected speed and confrontation elements into this team at the tactical level, leaving a clear counterattack idea + a tight defensive organization. The effective defensive counterattack that was previously eliminated by Juve and Bayern was the only chip they wanted to continue to upset.
Liverpool have to continue to press, Villarreal needs to be based on a solid defensive system before it is possible to wait for the opportunity to counterattack; so the key point of this set of duels is that Huang Potential cannot keep up with Liverpool's rhythm and intensity of play. Although Huang Qian's scene in the first half was extremely passive, their bus team was still able to cope; in addition to Thiago's long-range shot that hit the goal frame, Liverpool's 12-foot shot in the first half had few chances of really creating a threat.
In other words, most teams may not be able to hold on in the second half after a sustained half-time squeeze, but Klopp's team is strong in that they have the ability to carry out full-court pressure. So even after the game a lot of people talked about Herard. Moreno's absence had an impact on Huang Qian; but in fact, when the Reds used high pressure or even tactical fouls to turn Huang Qian's defense to attack at all costs, the possible counterattack opportunities were all snuffed out. Moreno was unable to change the overall situation.
The Reds' goal that opened the door to victory was Henderson's cross that broke the line on the defender and scored into the goal, which was an element of luck. But throughout the course of the goal, the yellow submarine defense itself was somewhat left-leaning; but they invested more people in the left half of the defensive area, and did not put pressure on the attacking players with the ball and received, and were formed by Salah and Henderson, forming a local 2-2. Before Henderson's cross, Liverpool already had 4 players in the middle of the box; but Huang Qian's side may interfere with the wrapping of attacking players, and only Albior was destroyed in front of them... So even if the ball doesn't form a polyline and fly into the goal, the back point is likely to be an empty goal by the Reds' players.
And the Reds' second goal, Huang Qian's defender and midfielder, has been pressed into a line; it seems that the defenders are in position, but throughout the defense, no one is going to stare at Salah, making him easily turn around and send out a straight plug, and no one to stare at Mane who is plugged in...
These two goals are fully reflected in the fact that Huang Qian has been crushed by the Reds with a faster pace and higher intensity of the game. Even if Emery has since increased his defensive strength through consecutive substitutions and has not given Liverpool any more chances, this is still far from threatening the Reds' goal.
There is no suspense, is the Reds too strong or is Bayern Juve really a dish? Only Manchester City have the ability to stop Liverpool
The manchester city real madrid's confrontation the day before, all sides were very excited, but also let the outside world more look forward to the second leg of the bernabeu competition. But the Red Army's fight against Huang Qian was like a father beating his son, and Huang Qian didn't have any power to fight back!
Considering the huge gap in strength between the two sides, losing two away from home is completely acceptable for Emery's team. Only the second leg back to the home, Huang Qian will not have a chance to turn over.
Friends who often pay attention to Villarreal's team are very clear, and the basis for them to compete with the strong team is to first stabilize and then try to steal the other side; with their strength, if they attack the strong team, it is basically equivalent to looking for abuse! Losing twice away means they have to attack back at home; however, in the case of their obviously inferior control of the midfield to Liverpool, attacking means that it is likely to expose more weaknesses, leaving Liverpool with more room to fight back; and Klopp's team is now so stable that it is frightening, so there is no suspense in this set of matches.
With Huang Qian's strength and investment, playing to the top four of the Champions League is already a great success. When Liverpool is at home, almost hanging Villarreal, the outside world will inevitably raise a question - is Liverpool too strong, or Bayern, Juve is too good?
Among them, There is no doubt about the strength of Liverpool, even if this is not the strongest Red Army in history, it must be the strongest Red Army in the past 30 years after the opening of the Premier League. At present, there is no doubt about this Juve dish; after all, Juve have dropped at least two grades compared with the staffing of Allegri when he first coached; their advantages in Serie A, which are relatively weak overall in competitiveness, are constantly being eroded, and the goal has fallen from locking in Serie A + impacting the Champions League to retaining the Champions League qualification. But Bayern's loss to the Yellow Submarine really has nothing to do with strength.
When the Champions League Quarter-Final Draw came out, many people thought that Liverpool and Bayern, who drew Benfica and Villarreal respectively, drew the top draw, but Bayern overturned. The team configuration was completely crushed but was upset, which only showed that in those two legs, Nagelsman lost Emery in the fighting style. Of course, there are often cold goals, which cannot be called cold, so it is impossible to repeat the cold again and again; now the only one who has the ability to compete with this Liverpool team in all directions is Manchester City, who is the main force.
Both teams won at home in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and the scene occupied a more obvious advantage; in the league, the two teams were also fiercely chasing me... When Liverpool have already eliminated Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals, who can laugh last in the next double-line showdown?
