Football’s First Defender

Chapter 403: Champions League sequelae

Leading for such a long time prevented Bayern from threatening attacks many times, but at the last moment, Bayern still scored a lore goal. This is a bit cruel to many Liverpool players who have already worked hard.

But this is football, until the last moment of the game, the seemingly obtained victory will always be full of variables.

Yang Feng was also very helpless about the conceded goal. Liverpool's defensive line in the middle was already tight enough, but he didn't expect that the defense on the side didn't gain any time, so Robben directly and quickly passed the ball from the bottom to let the ball leak. Arrived at the back point where the defense is weak.

The Bayern players were still celebrating inside the pitch.

The stadium at Anfield was a little quieter.

The cooked duck is flying, this is the first impression of the kops.

However, seeing Enrique, who was already slumped to the ground after being scored, saw Gerrard, who was bent over in the midfield and hadn't gotten up for a long time, and saw many red-clothed soldiers, all gasping for breath With a rough look, everyone still couldn't bear to blame the team and the players.

Liverpool has done well enough and has achieved the ultimate that they can do. Liverpool, who had physical problems early, can persist until the last moment for victory. The content shown in this game can already satisfy the audience up.

As for the fans at the scene, continue their cheering and singing "You will never walk alone" to cheer for the team.

The fourth referee held a sign on the sidelines stating that stoppage time is only 3 minutes. Maybe the referee will also consider the time of Bayern's previous goal celebration and add a period of time as appropriate, but for both players, the last few minutes The game time is a little bit weak.

The Liverpool players are really tired. They always use their big feet to solve the battle when they encounter the ball, for fear of making mistakes.

As for the Bayern players, they evened the score, which actually achieved the team's goal. Facing Liverpool's tight defense, many Bayern players' physical fitness is still running out, and they are unable to complete the attack again.

With the whistle of the referee, the soul-stirring first round of the Champions League finally came to an end.

A score of 3 to 3, a wonderful game, there is no real loser in this game, but for Liverpool, it is a pity to be tied at the end of regular time.

But Liverpool's strength is enough to make the fans happy and happy, and it can already be recognized by Bayern. After today's game, Bayern will make more preparations to deal with the second round of the two sides.

In his post-match press conference, Rodgers praised every Liverpool player for being on the pitch and doing their best.

The score of 3 to 3 drew the powerful Bayern Munich, which is enough to prove that the future of these young people in Liverpool is full of hope.

Of course, there are still many problems to be solved in the team, but Rogers believes that the young team is not afraid of making mistakes, and the players have enough time to solve problems and become better.

It is indeed a bit reconciled to fail to win the first round of the home game, but the next Premier League is also the focus of Liverpool.

The team does still need to run in, but being able to qualify for the Champions League next season will be of great help to Liverpool's finances and the introduction of personnel for next season.

However, in the fierce battle with Bayern Munich in the first round of the European War, although Liverpool did not suffer from injuries during the game, many players were exhausted and unable to return to their best game state in a short time.

On the weekend a few days later, in the away game against Wigan Athletic, Rodgers had to make adjustments to as many as four starters compared to the Champions League game.

On the back line, Jose Enrique, who was completely "drained" in the Champions League game, took a break and sent Wisdom to top it.

In midfield, Gerrard and Henderson both watched from the sidelines, allowing Joe Allen and Shelvey to start the game.

On the front line, Sterling also got a rest this time, and Tang Ning was sent to play the position of the right midfielder.

The overall tactical framework remains unchanged, but the players have made appropriate adjustments.

However, in the away game against Wigan Athletic, who are only one point ahead of the relegation zone and full of fighting spirit, Liverpool's temporarily put together lineup has suffered a big loss.

Wisdom's side, of course, became the opponent's main direction.

In this game, Liverpool lost Gerrard and Henderson's defensive pressure, and the defensive strength of the midfield actually dropped a notch.

Although Joe Allen and Shelvey's offensive strength can achieve similar offensive effects to the original starting lineup, but in terms of actual conditions, it is also true that the overall offensive and defensive levels have declined.

With the decline in the defensive level of the midfield, it is a bit stretched to deal with the opponent's offensive in the middle, let alone support Wisdom's wing.

Wigan Athletic, on the other hand, uses a typical British style of play at home, rushing to the wing defended by Wisdom, and matching it with appropriate advancement and cooperation in the middle.

And Shelvey got a yellow card hastily at the beginning of the game, so that throughout the entire game, Shelvey could only be submissive on the defensive end, carefully avoiding another relatively large foul.

Wigan Athletic's offense played extremely smoothly when they were playing at home. In the game, they suppressed Liverpool's formation and even achieved effective defensive restraint against Liverpool's counterattack.

Throughout the game, Liverpool did not find a rhythm. The most important thing was that there was a serious sense of tearing in the offense.

Not only Joe Allen's cooperation with Shelvey and his teammates, there are some who can't feel it, but also other offensive players, because of the physical consumption of the last Champions League game, they have not yet found the best game state.

On the offensive end, the team experienced a large number of passing errors and interceptions with the ball, which added even greater difficulties to the already crumbling defense.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Wigan Athletic's wing attack reaped results.

Friend made a strong breakthrough from the right, passed Wisdom, and formed an excellent passing opportunity on the right.

In the subsequent pass, when they found the rear point area, both Yang Feng and Skrtel guarded the opponent's follow-up point in the middle. In the rear point position, Glenn Johnson's defense appeared empty.

Wigan Athletic midfielder Sime scored a header and opened the scoring.

Liverpool, which is behind, wants to counterattack on the offensive end, but facing Wigan Athletic's "slave-splitting" face after leading, it is really powerless to break Wigan Athletic's iron barrel formation of 5 defenders.

Liverpool, which has been unable to open up the situation for a long time, Rogers can only rely on substitutions in the second half to achieve offensive effects.

But his own attack has not yet been played, but Wigan Athletic counterattacked again.

In the counterattack, when Yang Feng was attracted to the wing, Wigan Athletic decisively moved the ball to the middle position and forcibly broke through Liverpool's defense.

And Sim made a long-range shot and scored twice, extending the score advantage to two goals.

One goal behind can't be recovered, and two goals behind, for Liverpool, it has lost even more hope of chasing back.

In the end, Liverpool, who was exhausted and lost their fighting spirit, lost 0 to 2 in the away game, deeply affected by the sequelae of the Champions League...
