Villarreal won first and then lost
Emery won the opening, and the change of team will play the annihilation battle in the dominant area, in exchange for a two-goal lead in the half to equalize the total score, and in the second half, he was reversed by Three goals in a row by Liverpool, and then lost to Villarreal and his personal innate deficiencies.
Emery started out winning in a self-altering, dominant area to fight a war of annihilation
Compared with Klopp's unchanged 433, Emery obviously reviewed the first leg for a long time, abandoning the main 442 and playing the most classic formation in La Liga in the past 20 years, 4231, and the legacy of the meritorious coach Pellegrini at that time, striving to demarcate the battlefield in front of the center line. In the first leg, Huang Qian was suppressed in the whole game, the root cause was that the midfield could not hold the ball at all under the crazy pressure of the opponent, and Emery's response was to switch to 5 midfielders, strengthen the midfield scramble, and improve the intensity of the game to close to or even equal the level of Liverpool. In the first half, the home team's overwhelming advantage was accumulated by the advantage of each local scramble in each fight, which made people even more regret that if there was such a mental fighting spirit in the first leg, how to bury the big pit of 2 goals behind.
Emery directed a good half-time goal
The success of the change of formation is not only the score and the aggressive momentum on the field, but also the tactical restraint achieved after reasonable adjustment. Frontcourt core Herard Moreno was lined up as a right forward, and Lo Celso formed a dexterous combination that can play a small range of passes to dribble the ball to the front, Parejo with excellent footwork will pass long passes as soon as he has the opportunity, communicating directly with the two from the left back position, Huang Qian most of the counterattack is on the right wing, plus countless times of forward insertion Capué, Robertson often has to face a one-two disadvantage situation. The second goal was like this, when Paul Torres' long pass from the back, the home team double ghost shot at the back of Robertson at the same time, center Dia and Harard drew Van Dijk and Konath to the near post, and Arnold, who was not good at air combat at the far point, bombarded Kirkland.
Scored twice against Liverpool's left side of the defence
The Premier League's old two assists incarnated into the French version of Park Ji-sung
Another important tactical pawn is the right back Capuer, positioned to say that even most of the time he is the front, Lo Celso is still habitually right-leaning, and Capue is not only responsible for intercepting the opponent's quick reaction from midfield, but also the beachhead of the frontcourt counterattack, he is responsible for harassing liverpool soldiers in a large area, the left-center-right is everywhere, once the ball is broken, Watford's old player does not return to the starting position (the two centre-backs take turns to the back position to assist Parejo protection), and the nearby lo Celso and Gerard form a surprise squad.
Huang Qian had an overwhelming advantage in the first half
Liverpool's strongest attacking corridor is Salah and Alexander Arnold on the side, Emery did not let Pedraza start to play left forward, and Espitunian formed a bilateral guard combination, still continued to let Kirkland as the left midfielder, when the ball was broken by him or the Ecuadorian international directly hanging on the other side, this flaw is a waste of Espituniana La Liga's first-class assist ability, the advantage is that the east hit the opponent unstable, the surprise effect, once the left long pass, the other end Of Gerard and Capué collectively plug in, The two best air combat advantages in the team's midfield create a second drop-point shot, and the two goals are almost identical from this pattern.
Capué inserted himself into the penalty area from the front back position
Defensive harassment type forward, there have been classic cases in the history of the Champions League, Ferguson, who led Manchester United to reach the final 3 times in 4 years, let Park Ji-sung serve as a front midfielder is a wonderful pen, using its super physical advantage to participate in the frontcourt counter-grab, teammates are responsible for running positions when holding the ball, which is a strong support behind C Rooney Tevez and others, so that the old lord has repeatedly mentioned that the 2008 Champions League final did not let the South Korean international appear is "the most difficult decision of my life". Capué's role in this campaign is similar to the former Manchester United No. 13, or even better, in the Premier League era 16 times to Liverpool 0 goals and 0 assists, becoming the first single Champions League 2 assists in the history of the team. Strange soldiers, it is strange to make the opponent completely unpredictable, and to win in local battles.
Capué delivered an assist in the right wing
Congenital deficiency, Huang Qian and Emery's fatal injuries
Emery started out winning in an excellent strategy, knowing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and then being overturned, losing in several congenital deficiencies. The first is the gap between the average ability and quality of the players, Rulli seems to be possessed by Karius (2 turnovers in a single game led to the loss of the ball, the first person in the knockout round after Karius in 2018), the poor performance proves why its young and small fame and former owner Manchester City are never willing to give a chance, in argentina team is also Martinez and Musso and other original catchers one by one, such low-level mistakes occur from time to time in the league, and the stability can not be compared with the former main Arsenal for many years. In contrast, Alisson's single knife is extremely critical, and in the first half of Van Dijk's somewhat deranged state, the stop loss is stopped in time without a thousand miles. Huang Qian's top scorer Danjuma (8 goals in the Champions League) was also absent due to injury, and the substitute striker Dia was not the same in terms of ability and tactical value.
In the second half, the storm suddenly changed
Is it difficult for a woman to cook without rice? Indeed, but Emery is equally responsible for the big slippery slope, and the gap between the world's top coaches such as Uncle Scum may be in the details. The advantage of the half is obvious, the king of the Europa League is reluctant to replace any main force, it is understandable, but in the first 20 minutes of the second half, the first 11 people are obviously weak and passive in the whole line, but they still do not move, which is no different from the first two ends of the first leg. Whether to resolutely retreat to fight a counterattack, or continue to invest troops in the midfield to restore the strength of the fight to regain the disadvantage, there is no clear direction, Huang Qian returned to the first round of hesitation and conservatism and did not know how to advance and retreat. Fabinho's goal was caused by a goalkeeper error, Liverpool had the advantage at that time but not obvious, completely can be changed consecutively to curb the opponent's momentum, but Emery missed in hesitation, until the air defense leaked and then lost the ball After the overall situation has been decided, the procedural substitution is too late.
Emery didn't respond in a timely manner
Compared with Klopp's highly targeted on-the-spot scheduling, Emery exposed the mentality of small wealth and peace, was reluctant to change, and fantasized that the players could restore the intensity of the first half of the game, which was a bit too naïve. Huang Qian does not lack a backhand who can change the game, such as Chuk Uze, who eliminated Bayern, is one of the most capable single-player assault points in La Liga, why not use it for a long time? The purpose of starting the launcher is to use Dia, who is more physical, and the purpose may be to run more and fight more, but the latter plays a very small role. At half-time Emery should have expected Klopp to adjust Luis Dias to attack Voyd's side, and then it was time to replace Chuk Uze to continue to attack the right wing, both to contain Díaz and to continue to concentrate fire on Robertson, who was somewhat unstoppable at halftime.
However, chuk-uze's total score was already 4-2 when he came on, and Liverpool had complete control of the field, and the victory or defeat was already in suspense. Can't control the ball? Triggros can dribble with short passes. Defensive pressure on the right? Orlier's physical confrontation was also better than Voith's. Insufficient deterrence in the exclusion zone? Didn't former high-efficiency goalscorer Ko-Al-Casserl sit on the bench? The Champions League can change 5 people, but also test the manager's overall consideration of the idea and response decisions, how to layout the use of troops, when to dispatch troops, Emery basic questions answered a high score, the improvement part (0 shots in the second half) was leaked.
