1307 Cut the opponent!

On the evening of March 3th, Liverpool and AC Milan staged the second round of the UEFA Champions League 10/1 final at Anfield.

The starters of the two teams meet in the tunnel.

Ibrahimovic, who was standing in the queue of AC Milan, turned his head and glanced at Liverpool's starting lineup, and said to Qin Xiong with a sneer at the corner of his mouth: "The defending champion is going to be a turtle at home today?"

AC Milan players couldn't help smiling.

They did not carry a kind of arrogance. Since the two teams collided fiercely in the last round, it is understandable for the players to have resentment in their hearts this round.

But to vent out the grievances, of course it depends on winning.

So when Ibrahimovic taunted Liverpool, his teammates immediately echoed, not going too far, but the gesture must be shown.

In terms of the art of war, this is the method of aggressive generals!

Disrupt Liverpool's planned deployment.

Standing behind Gerrard, Qin Xiong turned around and pretended to glance at Liverpool's lineup. He saw Tiotte, Mascherano, Meireles, including Gerrard, Liverpool's midfield combination today It's hard and crazy!

Qin Xiong looked away and said nonchalantly: "I don't know who will be beaten into a turtle on the field later. If AC Milan has the ability to suppress Liverpool at Anfield, you are considered amazing."

All the Liverpool generals immediately showed a mocking smile.

Ibrahimovic wanted to say something else, but Nesta, the leader, turned around and said to Ibrahimovic, "Stop talking in vain, it's an embarrassment."

Ibrahimovic made fun of himself, and the prestige of the big brother in the team let go, so he shut up.

In any case, the generals of Liverpool still respect Nesta very much. It is not an exaggeration to say that many of their players grew up watching Nesta's heroic appearance on the field.

Under the leadership of the referee team, players from the two teams walked into the court.

The deafening din at Anfield created enormous psychological pressure on the AC Milan players.

They have to reverse Liverpool's two goals in this stadium to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

The opponent itself was very strong, and the field advantage was on the opponent's side. Coupled with the terrifying atmosphere created by the fanatical fans in the stands, the hearts of all AC Milan players became extremely heavy.

In contrast, the Liverpool players stepped onto the pitch with confidence.

The cheering sound like a tsunami made them more motivated, and the support from the fans made them feel that their strength would become stronger!

Beat AC Milan and enter the quarterfinals!

"The second round of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals at Anfield is about to start. The defending champion Liverpool ushered in AC Milan at home. In the first round, Liverpool took the victory from San Siro and led 2:0 on aggregate AC Milan, if AC Milan can't beat Liverpool by two goals in the away game today, then AC Milan will be eliminated. This is simply an impossible task.

Today Liverpool started 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Baines.

Midfielders: Mascherano, Meireles, Tiotte, Gerrard.

Forwards: Raul, Qin Xiong.

Liverpool adjusted the starting lineup today, and the more used 433 was changed to 442.

AC Milan starting 4312.

Goalkeeper: Abbiati.

Defenders: Abate, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Jankulovski.

Midfielders: Seedorf, Boateng, Strasser, Robinho.

Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Pato.

After the kick-off ceremony, the two teams set up their positions in their respective halfs and are about to start the battle! "

Liverpool's battle plan today is to snipe AC Milan frantically in the midfield, not to shrink and fight against counterattacks.

Mascherano, Tiotte, Meireles, Gerrard, plus Qin Xiong, who plays shadow forward, they will have a very high coverage rate in the midfield, and at the same time, there will be a full-back who adapts to the midfield in defense.

AC Milan can be said to actually play a 433 formation, because they need a goal to reverse the game!

But today AC Milan's midfield is very weak.

Seedorf and Jerome Boateng have very little defensive contribution. Strasser is only 20 years old. Although he seems to be a dark and hard midfielder, his experience is still inexperienced. None of them are unknown people, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot today.

After the start of the game, Liverpool put on a posture of pushing the opponent flat in the midfield.

Gerrard, Meirelles, and Tiot, the three lined up in a dish shape and pushed forward.

The three of them had advantages in running and scrambling for positions, then Qin Xiong responded in front, and Raul pressed the opponent's back line, making AC Milan a little bit overwhelmed from the beginning.

In the 3rd minute of the game, when Liverpool's midfield line crushed AC Milan's midfield with a pass and cut and a flat push, Qin Xiong received a pass from Tiot in front of the penalty area, and then Abate and Nesta fought His forward direction forms the zone defense.

On the other side Raúl was marked by Thiago Silva and Jankulovski.

Qin Xiong didn't go hard, but casually passed the ball behind Raul like a leisurely stroll.

Strasser rushed towards Qin Xiong, but he missed it, and then saw Gerrard rushing up from behind Raul with a long shot to meet the ball!

The football flew towards the goal obliquely, and Abbiati gave up when he saw that the shot was powerful and heavy and the angle was tricky.

Is it just broken down?

Abbiati thought inwardly, dejectedly.

boom!

The football hit the crossbar solidly and bounced back!

The bounced football landed at the feet of Meireles again. He tried to pass a deadly through ball, but the pass was a bit too big, penetrating AC Milan's defense, but it also made Raul counterattack. After being offside, he couldn't catch up at all, and the football rolled out of the bottom line.

There was a huge sigh from Anfield, and the Red Army fans in the stands felt sorry for Gerrard's long-range shot hitting the crossbar, and then there was warm applause.

In any case, Liverpool's momentum is coming out.

At the forefront of AC Milan's attack line, Ibrahimovic and Pato on the front line looked at the defense line and fell into a panic situation. Both of them were a little helpless, and thought to themselves: What are you doing? !

Allegri showed a classic embarrassment on the sidelines, and he really didn't expect Liverpool to use such tactics against AC Milan at home.

In his mind, Liverpool should be playing defensively.

This is a conventional idea. After all, Liverpool did this in the Champions League last season. They established an advantage in the first round, and then used defensive counterattacks to advance steadily in the second round.

But Liverpool's posture today cannot be said to be offensive and defensive, it is still inclined to attack!

Press the opponent with offense.

Because the AC Milan midfielder is too weak today!

Weaker than the combination of Gattuso + Flamini in the previous round!

And Liverpool's midfield is extremely strong, no matter whether it is a flat push in offense, or a frantic press that spares no effort in defense, physical confrontation and stealing skills, Liverpool has the advantage!

Well, Liverpool can perfectly cut off AC Milan's midfield line today, making it impossible for opponents to connect back and forth, and then destroy AC Milan frantically! (To be continued~^~.)
