Football’s First Defender

Morata had a threatening counterattack opportunity from the wing, and Juventus blew the horn of counterattack.

After experiencing the period of confusion after Liverpool's goal, in the second half of the first half, Juventus began to actively strengthen the possession of the ball on the field.

When Juventus took the initiative to abandon certain team defenses and began to strengthen their offense, Liverpool did not seek stability in such an important Champions League final, but directly confronted Juventus.

For Rogers, in this Champions League final, taking a one-goal lead is not enough to determine the team's advantage in winning.

Liverpool's team style, and the key to victory lies in the offense. Looking back on this season, in the strong duel, the few conservative games have resulted in not very good progress or results. For Rodgers , in this most critical Champions League final, this time, I don't want to spend my own money.

Liverpool's style of play is to attack and use it to attack the opponent, rather than timidly playing with iron barrels like Juventus.

The two sides fought for the ball in the midfield for a while, and they also showed their own offensive capabilities, trying to create more trouble for the opponent's defense.

As the two teams played against each other on the field, the rhythm of the game was rapidly increased, and the scene of this Champions League game instantly became better.

The players of the two teams are running all over the field, and the rhythm of offense and defense is switched extremely fast. I don't know which one can create an excellent chance to hit the goal.

Among them, Pogba and Vidal are the most active in the midfield for Juventus.

These two giants of Juventus fully demonstrated what is called an all-around midfielder.

Although in terms of pass handling, the two may still lack the ability of top passers.

But with a certain passing ability, he can also break through the offense with the ball, very good physical fitness, and the ability to counter-steal on the spot even if the ball is lost during the offense, all of which make Juventus in the two midfielders. Driven by vitality, the offensive end began to improve.

Among them, the "big black man" was the one most targeted by the cameras on the court.

Pogba, who has suddenly emerged this season and has become the absolute core of the Juventus midfielder, was quite unwilling to be in the Champions League final after the team fell behind, so he was robbed of the limelight by Liverpool.

Excellent physical fitness and tireless body make Pogba not only able to complete the defense in the midfield area in the ball possession competition between the two sides, but also quickly penetrate into the Liverpool penalty area when the team starts to attack

Before, share part of Tevez's frontcourt fulcrum role.

After all, Tevez is being marked by Yang Feng, and the offensive support that can be achieved on the offensive end is really limited.

As for Morata, he has no height, but Morata, who is familiar with Spain's delicate style of play, cannot do this kind of "rough work" as a forward pivot.

With Pogba serving as the team's nominal "third fulcrum" player in the frontcourt, in fact, Pogba's header ferry became Juventus' well-deserved "first fulcrum player" in this field.

Moreover, unlike the center forward who acts as a fulcrum to ferry the header and look for teammates, Pogba's excellent physical fitness and dribbling ability make Pogba, even if he acts as a fulcrum and unloads the ball by himself, he can immediately Launching an offense in the landing area gave Juventus more options for offense.

Moreover, Pogba's strong body and excellent height are definitely at the giant level in the midfield circle.

Back when Yaya Toure was at his peak, his speed wasn't too fast, and he relied on one hand to advance "crushing" in the middle, and achieved the prestige of a world-class midfielder.

And Pogba, compared to the original Yaya Toure, has better athletic talent. This treasure that Juventus acquired from Manchester United's youth training, his worth has increased rapidly this season.

It is said that 50 million euros will not allow Juventus to sell.

The active Pogba has become a threat that Liverpool's midfield defense urgently needs to solve.

Especially with the added speed of his dribbling, almost none of Liverpool's midfield defensive players can limit his offense alone.

Even Henderson and Lucas, who seem thin and thin, have actually been trained in the Premier League. They have excellent confrontation ability. Facing Pogba, who starts fast, there is no good defensive block. method.

After using some small fouls many times in the first half to prevent Pogba from dribbling forward, the referee finally couldn't stand it anymore, and finally showed Henderson a yellow card after a foul.

This yellow card will definitely limit Henderson's next defensive actions, which is not good news for Liverpool's defense.

Of course, the big player speeds up the ball, although it is full of visual impact, but in the face of multiple defenses, he will definitely lose control of the ball.

Pogba's real threat is when he runs without the ball.

Before the end of the first half, Juventus created a good scoring opportunity by Pogba.

Juventus build up slowly in midfield.

Continuous multiple tentative forward passes were pressed by Liverpool's defensive players and had to be passed back to the backcourt.

Pogba on the left suddenly ran in a large area, inserted diagonally to the right, and came to the 30-meter area to the right of the middle.

Vidal's return pass just passed to the feet of Bonucci who was lagging behind.

In Pirlo, in this game, he was pressed by Liverpool's key frontcourt, and Bonucci also had a good ball space.

Seeing Pogba's oblique thrust, Bonucci directly made a long pass and precisely found the direction of Pogba's running position.

Pogba, at the same time as Bonucci passed the ball, made an emergency stop and put

Lucas, who was following him, was firmly stuck behind him.

Jumping up his chest to stop the ball, but relying on his own height and strong body, he still didn't give Lucas, who wanted to make defensive moves behind him, any chance to grab the ball.

The rare defensive speed of other Liverpool players is not bad, but with such a tall body, Pogba's flexibility and coordination are very good.

After the chest stopped the ball, he turned halfway on the spot, quickly unloaded the ball to the ground, and immediately launched an attack.

Liverpool's encirclement has not yet taken shape, and Pogba has already stumbled and started to attack the goal.

Lucas faced Pogba in front of him and wanted to grab directly, but was staggered by Pogba directly, and the referee did not call Pogba's foul.

Pogba accelerated forward with the ball and broke through, Lucas, who stabilized his figure, and Henderson nearby, both of them went up to block again at the same time.

Pogba leaned on his back again, and made a spike at his feet, creating a gap in the instant offensive processing.

With one kick, the ball was directly stuffed into the Liverpool penalty area.

Morata's interspersed running, using his own speed again, barely got a chance.

At the moment when Skrtel was also attracted by Pogba to a certain amount of defensive attention, Morata forcibly confronted Skrtel in the penalty area, received the pass, and directly completed a volley with his left foot to hit the goal.

That is Mignolet's contribution to the attack, which shut out Morata's goal, otherwise Juventus this time, the attack led by Pogba may really score...
