Before this game, the British media was already imagining the Premier League civil war between Liverpool and Manchester City, imagining Liverpool's four crowns and imagining the Prosperity of the Reds.
As a result, back at the love song stadium, Emery, who likes to delve into the enemy, defeats the enemy with enemies, and Liverpool seems to see himself wearing a yellow jersey.
The town of 50,000 people greets this match no less than the World Cup final
In fact, today's Lineup of Huang Qian is still not neat, the main shooter in the team, Danjuma, is injured, and Moreno is even more injured, but it is Moreno who bites his teeth to play, giving Huang Qian the possibility of playing a great first half, and also allowing Emery to resolutely execute the high position to force a little more confidence.
Although this is a Liverpool out-of-bounds ball, it can be seen that Huang Qian's overall pressure is very radical
And here Liverpool as if not yet awake, in the face of the other side's menacing rush to grab the opening reaction is too slow, look at the following is an attack that occurred less than a minute before Huang Qian's goal, Moreno directly brought the ball out between Van Dijk and Robertson, before which Mane and Thiago seemed to be wrapping up Lotharso, in fact, people did not arrive at the heart, or let Lo Cerso pass out, at this time Van Dijk shouted urgently in the back.
This picture also reflects the role of Moreno, in the first leg of Anfield home, like this connection between Locelso and the forward is not, resulting in a complete disconnect between the forward and the backcourt organization in the first leg of Huang Qian, and back at home, with Moreno cruising in the middle of the Liverpool defense and waistline, greatly liberating the activity space for Locelsol to take the ball, Locelsol does not have to tire of running.
As a result, this opening was really caught by Huang Qian.
You can look at the footage of this goal, the Liverpool players are completely lack of concentration, there are two yellow divers near the penalty area line who are not staring at all, Keita did not do a close job of Passing Capué, and when Huang Qian's attacking scheduling from right to left, Roussellso was even more cruising at the top of the arc and had no one to defend at all.
After the balance was broken, Liverpool also began to pick up high pressing, and the long-range shot after that was a chance to force out.
However, today's Red Army defense line still makes people really feel like putting on the coat of the Red Devils, the two penalties cannot be grabbed, the header fails to compete for the top, the position runs and there is no close staring, Van Dijk shouted out several times.
Causing Van Dijk to run to this position to grab the biggest threat to today's yellow dive, Moreno, and Moreno is also really playing Liverpool Gerrard's style.
Looking at the defense of Huang Qian's side, it not only maintained a neat level, but also focused on restricting Thiago, Salah and others, and resolutely enforced not to let them turn around. With Mane having a lot of energy to defend, and with Jota's entire disappearance in the first half without effectively linking Liverpool's left and right sides, Liverpool was left with nothing left.
What impressed me the most was that liverpool's midfield was disconnected to what extent, Huang Qian's direct long pass from the backfield ground ball hit twenty or thirty meters directly to the position of Liverpool's forward line, which showed that The distance between Liverpool's front and backfield was too wide.
Liverpool only had two long-range shots in the entire first half, and another time was Liverpool's best counter-attack, starting from Arnold's side to Salah and Jota's running position, and finally it could only end in a foul.
And liverpool's most footage in the first half is captain Van Dijk, basically the whole shot -
I want to scream!!!
Huang Qian also continued to attack in the second half of the first half, because they knew that this was the final decisive battle, even for many people is the first time in their lives, it may also be the last, plus the depth of the bench is completely inferior to Liverpool, so if you want to spell out the miracle can only open up your life, that time Huang Qian went deep into the penalty area to face Alisson single-sidedly, although it was not awarded a penalty, but you can see that it is still the opportunity for Huang Qian to seize the high position.
Less than a few minutes after this offensive round, Huang Qian once again used a long pass to attack and defend, Capué once again offered an assist, and Kirkland, a former Arsenal player of 176cm, was able to compete for points in a group of Liverpool's big and tall defenders, which shows how much Liverpool's defense failed in the first half today. The North London Connection succeeded in Capuel + Kirkland successfully destroyed Merseyside's Liverpool.
After scoring the goal, the crazy Huang Qian home is really particularly understanding and moving, this is the World Cup final in their small city.
If Liverpool want to build a dynasty and really regain the glory it once swept across europe, Klopp will have to make adjustments in midfield.
He did adjust, and when he came back in the second half, he immediately replaced Jota, who was no longer seen in the first half, and replaced him with Díaz, who was full of hard work and could bring a change in rhythm on the side, and directly pushed Mane to the first point of the front line.
The substitution of fresh blood is actually immediate, Dias's play makes the defense on the right side of Huang Qian have to pay double the energy, Huang Qian, who has been fighting in the first half, did not adjust the lineup at this time, it is easy to do not do so well when the defensive distance is maintained.
Diaz dribbled the ball laterally, causing confusion in the yellow substratum:
Díaz picked up Arnold's long pass and dribbled the ball again, which in turn took out Arnold's empty spot at the other end.
In fact, at this time, the rhythm of the game has gradually returned to Liverpool's side, and Alexander-Arnold directly woke up Liverpool's attack with a foot refracting the crossbar.
At this point, the Liverpool forward trident finally appeared on a line and had a connection, although Díaz's volley was not well grasped, but it can be seen that the defensive line of the substitution to dispatch The Yellow Submarine has been effective.
After that, Liverpool has increased the scheduling of both sides, Arnold directly to Dias, Van Dijk directly to Keita, in the next round have appeared more, and at this time the yellow submersible physical strength has reached the bottleneck, Liverpool poked through the defense is also a matter of time, sure enough, after the next two defensive lines traversed, Arnold got the second chance to get the second penalty on the periphery, Fabinho suddenly came out of the middle of the road, rushing out between Paul Torres and Ostpinian, This also reflects that Huang Qian's defensive lateral movement has completely failed to keep up with the speed, and the ball is scored.
It can be seen that in this defense, Capué alone followed Fabinho from the middle to the wing, and from the outside to the inside, while Paulo Torres and Ostupinian seemed to have dropped the line, which was a very bad signal.
Here is indeed a time node worth Emery considering the substitution, maybe the replacement of the new person will not immediately play an immediate effect of scoring goals, but in fact, here the substitution is to interrupt the rhythm of Liverpool's momentum, but Emery did not adjust, this I think is also understandable, under a delicate balance premise, Emery does not want to give up the integrity of the team's starting, after all, as a weak team, Huang Qian's main force and substitutes are indeed too different.
Emery chose to continue to trust the people on the field, but at this time, Huang Qian completely began to expose his physical problems, and his movements had begun to deform, and Capue's first yellow jewel card was also taken at this time.
The next step was for Díaz to continue to strike on Huang Qian's right side - at this time, Huang Qian's midfield was already full of loopholes and only exhausted.
In the end, he did not carry Díaz, and Díaz scored.
Emery made adjustments after this goal, on the one hand, Moreno really could not continue to insist, on the other hand, it can be said that the battle of this game has drawn a semicolon so far, and the game has officially been taken over by Liverpool.
And with the subsequent twice through the "small door" of Lully completely out of balance, a large-scale attack failure by the Ma surname forward again demoted, Huang Qian completely lost the ability to fight back, the love song in the first half of the high-pitched singing, in the second half in Moreno due to injury, in the second half after the Capue Ruby card became a helpless sad song.
Many fans and friends will say, ah Huang diving in the second half of the tactics is not right, or that Huang diving should not let Moreno with injuries, should change more physically sufficient players, I think this completely ignores that football is played by people, people will have different states, different mentalities.
In the second half, Huang Qian completely collapsed, largely because he did not play this intensity of the game, the first half has been fought to the limit, the second half can not be fully taken care of, and Huang Qian has not undergone such a big change of mentality of the game, it is difficult to adjust the mentality immediately after falling behind.
And Huang Qian itself is a weak team, the main force and substitutes are difficult to guarantee on a horizontal baseline, as far as Moreno is concerned, I never want to see any player with injuries, but it is clear that there is no Moreno in the first leg, and this time there is Moreno's Yellow Dive in the first half is two teams. If there is no Moreno with injuries, it is likely that Huang Qian will have to "disarm" in the first half.
Competitive sport is always cruel, and there is only one team left with a smile, but a small town of 50,000 people like Villarreal, able to fight with the powerful Liverpool, is always worthy of football respect, and it is also the reason why people will always follow and love football.
Let's give our applause to Moreno who came on the field with injuries, for the 30+ Kokkland, Capué, Albiol, Parejo and other veterans, for every player and staff of Huang Qian, and for all the fans of Villarreal.
And the Red Army, we see you in Paris!
