Football’s First Defender

The aggregate score was tied 4-4 with the same number of away goals.

With the game entering the final ten-minute decisive battle, Liverpool and Bayern were on the same starting line.

Of course, Liverpool's slight advantage in the total score is that if Liverpool can score in the following games, then this goal can be used as two goals.

When Liverpool's away goals reach two goals, Bayern's total score tie will also be eliminated, and they can only advance by scoring two more goals and taking the lead in the total score.

However, Bayern is the party that occupies the offensive initiative.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Bayern was still the active initiator of the offense.

Although Bayern had previously focused on the left, due to Liverpool's timely personnel changes, Glenn Johnson came off the bench and used his physical advantage to limit Bayern's attack on the left.

However, Bayern's penetration in the center and the attack on the right are still quite threatening.

At the last moment of the game, Bayern's home court advantage began to fully unfold.

Under the cheers and cheers of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, Bayern launched a final stage onslaught against Liverpool.

The full-back Bernat on the right also began to plug in, and Bayern's central attack also started to play vigorously.

Constantly passing the ball between each other, taking advantage of the general decline in the physical fitness of Liverpool players, Bayern carried out the final offensive, hoping to score goals and end the game within 90 minutes of regular time.

At the last moment, Bayern's offense was quite threatening.

Bayern has always been in control of the initiative on the pitch, using its own pass control system, Bayern in the midfield, continuous pass, and use the player's personal ability to attack suddenly.

Bayern's current tactics are very similar to Barcelona at their peak. Although the composition of the players is different, this kind of, in normal times, passing the ball flatly, and then suddenly exerting force in the game, is the same as Guardiola coaching Barcelona. The tactics of the period were very similar.

The pass-and-control tactic is a cover, using pass and control to wear down the opponent's defensive patience, and then the real killer move is actually the team's sudden attack.

At the last moment of the game, Bayern still passed the ball in the midfield, but the Liverpool players needed to save energy. In the last moment of the game, Liverpool's pressing was not so active, allowing Bayern to freely organize in the midfield transfer.

Bayern's continuous passes from the midfield and the backcourt, when unable to attract Liverpool's defense forward, can only continue to press forward, trying to score goals at the last moment of the game.

The forward pressure of Bayern's overall offensive formation, especially the entire central back line, was pressed forward to Liverpool's half, which put great defensive pressure on Liverpool.

Of course, Liverpool also has a considerable counterattack space, but while the overall lineup is pressing forward, Bayern has higher requirements for passing accuracy.

For Bayern, at the last moment of the game, they would rather have fewer dangerous passes, but also ensure that the ball is always in their hands.

However, even with a slightly restricted offense, Bayern still took advantage of the home court to create opportunities as much as possible on the offensive end.

Especially for Liverpool players, because the previous midfielder pressed the defense and consumed a lot of physical energy. Now that the physical fitness is declining, Liverpool's defense is not full of loopholes, but there are definitely various defensive situations that are not in place.

Although the unique resilience of Liverpool's entire team makes the players on the field grit their teeth and try their best to complete the defense, but physiological factors inevitably put Liverpool at a disadvantage.

The continuous inversion of the Bayern midfielder, and finally Boateng made a long pass and transferred the ball to the left.

Glenn Johnson overwhelmed Franck Ribéry and headed the ball out in the header, and Bayern's substitute Javi Martinez received the second touch and re-passed the ball to the rear defense Players, continue to play patiently.

In the process of reorganizing the pass, Ram's right flank made Liverpool's defense have to make some targeted changes.

And Lahm passed the ball back to Boateng.

Boateng retreated by himself and re-observed the running positions of his teammates on the field.

And hand the ball back to Bernat.

Bernat rushed forward with the ball, and after attracting the opponent's defensive attention, he handed the ball back to Lahm who came over.

Ram passed the ball in a small range to Javi Martinez who came over to meet him.

And Harvey Martinez, with one kick, a through ball diagonally forward, gave the ball to Ram again.

With the defenders following him, Lahm made a gesture after receiving the ball, retreated with the ball, and handed it over to the back line to reorganize.

But when Coutinho ran and defended, Ram immediately turned around and killed a carbine.

Coutinho was thrown away by Lahm at once.

Lahm took the ball himself and rushed forward quickly along the right wing.

Ram's side attack can only allow Liverpool to switch defenses and let the players who come over from the supplementary defense come to limit the grab on Ram's side.

Rahm replayed the ball and passed the ball back to Javi Martinez who followed up.

Liverpool's rotation players rushed towards Martinez again.

And Martinez, when he comes off the bench, has a better game state and on-court judgment ability.

Before Henderson completed the grab, he still kicked the ball and passed the ball to Thiago in the middle.

The reason why Thiago is highly valued by Guardiola is his excellent overall view and passing ability.

Even if there is a certain open area in front of him, he can drive the ball forward by himself.

But Thiago, instead of blindly dribbling the ball forward, but after receiving a pass from Harvey Martinez, he immediately completed the adjustment, made a long pass, found the ball again, and continued to advance. Ram.

A great amount of lead, and quite accurate, comfortable long pass, directly hitting the hinterland of Liverpool's side defense.

It made Lahm get rid of the players who followed him, and also easily completed the unloading of the ball, so that he could start attacking immediately.

When Moreno's defense was immediately posted, Lahm directly faced the bounced pass and sent a cross from the right.

The ball was thrown into the penalty area by Lahm.

And Thomas Muller, under Lahm's unexpected pass, took advantage of his good at disrupting battles.

Although his own running position could not directly pose a threat to the goal, Thomas Muller still struggled to get ahead and completed the header.

It's not a direct attack, but a header ferry.

This time, Muller's running position was ahead of Skrtel, and he successfully grabbed the landing point and ferried the ball to the middle.

And the close-range header ferry made it too late for Yang Feng to make any defensive changes.

I don't know if it was intentional or luck, Thomas Muller's pass ferry was aimed at Lewandowski's side.

And the distance is only a few meters, so Yang Feng has no chance to step forward to complete the defense.

Lewandowski, who finally got the opportunity to attack, will not let go of such an opportunity to be unguarded in the penalty area.

In these two rounds, Lewandowski himself was under the tight defense of Yang Feng, and he had few offensive opportunities. Even his role as Bayern's main attack point, in the second round of the game, became Bayern's responsibility to contain Liverpool's defense. feint point.

Not to mention scoring goals, but scoring opportunities. Under Yang Feng's defense, Lewandowski has very few.

When Yang Feng was caught off guard by his teammate's sudden header, and he got an offensive opportunity, Lewandowski showed his true qualities as a shooter.

Even if he has not completed the goal on the offensive end for a long time, when the opportunity is in front of Lewand, Lewand will not let the opportunity miss.

Leap high, exert strength in the waist and abdomen, stabilize the figure in the air, keep your eyes on the incoming ball, then exert strength in the neck, push your head, and directly shake your head to attack the goal.

As a very good striker, Lewandowski's header is one of his most important offensive weapons.

With this ball, Lewandowski didn't waste the opportunity. He pushed the ball out of a parabola and flew directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

Mignolet was not slow to take off, but facing Lewand's goal, the outstretched palm still did not touch the football.

"GOAL!!!"

"Lewandowski!"

"Fourth goal for Bayern!"

"5 to 4!"

"Bayern regained a big lead at the end of the game."

"Lewandowski, who was silent for two full games, scored the most critical goal for Bayern Munich in the final stage of the two rounds, 180 minutes."

"Liverpool's defensive core, Yang Feng, restricted Lewandowski's offense for most of the two games, but Lewandowski still scored at the most critical moment."

"Now, Bayern only needs to hold the last less than 10 minutes to complete the reversal at home and enter the next knockout round of the Champions League!"

The Bayern players were celebrating wildly, especially Lewandowski, who scored the goal, instantly became the absolute focus on the court.

Tens of thousands of fans throughout the Allianz Arena were shouting Lewandowski's name to celebrate their hero.

The players on the Liverpool field acted as spectators on the sidelines.

They are like most villains, and in the end they just became the background board for the hero's counterattack.

And it may be less than 10 minutes before they fail and leave in despair.

"cheer up!"

"The game is not over yet!"

Yang Feng was the most excited person. Not only did he want to wake up his teammates, Yang Feng was also blaming himself for the conceded goal just now. He thought that Lewandowski was no longer an offensive threat, but he was still caught by him. An opportunity that was not an opportunity was seized.

The combination of luck and strength created Lewandowski's goal and completely pushed Liverpool to the brink of failure.

Rogers has no cards to play in his hands, and he can only choose to trust the Liverpool players on the field.

"The game is not over yet!"

With Yang Feng's constant yelling and the help of the Jie team, although the Liverpool players do not have enough experience and veterans, they can quickly stabilize their minds.

But what young people lack most is the spirit in the game and the drive to not admit defeat.

If we talk about Bayern's offensive before, Liverpool were stunned.

But now, Bayern's goal of overtaking the score only aroused the determination of Liverpool players to counterattack.

Those who are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes, the Liverpool players who have already retreated, have a courageous momentum in the beginning of the game.

"Liverpool kick off again!"

"The game time has entered the 84th minute. Can Liverpool score a goal at Bayern's home court and complete the reversal?"

At the last moment of the game, Bayern will not shrink back and defend in the half. They will use a more proactive defensive attitude, press forward directly, limit and destroy Liverpool's offensive organization.

When Gerrard played the ball from the backcourt, he was rushed by the Bayern players fiercely.

Bayern is quite targeted on the defensive end. Even though the game has entered the final stage, Bayern is still on the defensive end, sticking to Guardiola's defensive tactics.

Gerrard, the point of departure for Liverpool's backcourt, was impacted by Thomas Muller. On the offensive end, he naturally couldn't easily complete the pass of the ball.

And when Gerrard can only hand over the ball, Liverpool's offense lacks the organization of players in the middle, and can only attack from the side during the game, try to break through, and pass into the penalty area .

However, Lambert was watched dead by Boateng, while Sturridge was surrounded by Bud Stubel who was inseparable.

Bayern's rush and intensive defense in the penalty area are both correct, vowing to hold on to the last few minutes.

"Sterling's bottom break!"

"Cross!"

"In the restricted area!"

"Boaten leaned on Lambert and took the lead to make a clearance."

Boateng is at his peak and is definitely a world-class central defender. Facing Lambert, who has entered the twilight of his career, he has an obvious advantage in physical confrontation.

The header clearance is completed, and then it is Bayern's chance to counterattack.

If the score difference can be further expanded, then Bayern will completely end the suspense.

It's just that this time, Lewandowski's attack after receiving the ball in the frontcourt was used by Yang Feng with a fairly successful defense to complete the interception of the football.

And Yang Feng, who steals the ball, immediately sends a long pass and launches a defensive counterattack.

It was Sterling again. At the last moment of the game, Sterling still had the strength to launch the final impact.

However, this time Lahm and Bernat joined forces to defend, pushing Sterling into a corner.

Sterling's forced cross was also blocked by Bernat's foot, blocking the ball out of the baseline and giving Liverpool a corner kick.

"The game entered 90 minutes, and the fourth official on the sidelines had already raised the stoppage time card. In the second half, the stoppage time was only 3 minutes."

"Liverpool won a corner at this time, it may be Liverpool's last chance..."
