Chapter 1389 Atletico Madrid's Weakness
Although the battle against Chelsea took up a lot of Levi's time studying Atletico Madrid, Levi is not clueless about defeating Atletico Madrid.
Atlético de Madrid was able to go from being relegated to the Spanish second division and struggling for two seasons before being upgraded to a team that can threaten the hegemony of Barcelona and Real Madrid, relying on iron-blooded defense and a very efficient and fast team. fight back.
So far, La Liga has played 35 rounds, and Atletico Madrid has only lost 22 goals in the league.
But Atletico Madrid's defense is also notoriously dirty, all kinds of big moves, they have the second most cards in La Liga, the first is Real Sociedad, which fans who follow La Liga know, this team has a nickname "Underworld".
Atlético Madrid are known for being simple and effective when it comes to quick counterattacks, with two or three passes sending the football into danger.Moreover, although Atlético Madrid defends and counterattacks, their frontcourt pressing is not bad. Diego Costa is an important fulcrum for Atletico Madrid's frontcourt counterattack. He often steals football to counterattack through his own pressing.
In the two rounds of the match, Atletico Madrid often succeeded in pressing the frontcourt and launched a counterattack directly from Liverpool's half.It's just that such situations are relatively rare, Liverpool's defense is not bad, and with a little luck, Atletico Madrid has not been able to break through Liverpool's gate through the frontcourt.
It is because of these dirty or iron-blooded defenses that Atletico Madrid can beat Real Madrid and Barcelona without strong offensive power, and currently ranks first in the La Liga standings!
Defense is where Atletico Madrid is strongest, but it is also where Atletico Madrid is most vulnerable.
Li Wei stood on the sidelines and waited for the referee Rizzoli to come over. He said to the opponent in Italian: "Sir, the size of the enforcement in the first half was too loose. The fans in the stands were very dissatisfied, and so was my disciple." If this continues, I worry that there will be unnecessary conflicts on the court."
Rizzoli said with a straight face: "Li Wei, it's not my first day of law enforcement in the Champions League. I don't need you to teach me about this!"
Li Wei smiled and said: "No, I didn't mean to teach you, I just reminded you to focus on the football game, that's all. After all, this is Anfield Stadium, I don't want some unpleasant things in my home court Happened within!"
When Levi talked about Anfield and the home court, he deliberately pronounced his words clearly. He was reminding Rizzoli that he should give Liverpool some home whistle appropriately, and at the same time, there were threats in his words.What is an unpleasant thing?
Li Wei is a famous personality coach in football, and he dares to fight on the sidelines.
And Simeone is not a kind person, maybe the two will really fight on the sidelines.Regardless of the fact that the fight between the two will only be filmed on the two and their respective clubs, Rizzoli, as the referee, will definitely be affected, and he is questioned whether he has the ability to enforce the focus of the Champions League.Why do such egregious incidents happen on football pitches, if capable?
Rizzoli remained unmoved, and said coldly: "Li Wei, please get out of the way, or don't blame me for sending you to the stands."
Li Wei didn't pester Rizzoli any more, he turned sideways to get out of the way behind him, and said with a smile, "See you in the second half."
He doesn't know how effective his words are, but he thinks the effect must be there, but he doesn't know if it can reach the level he wants.
…………
During the halftime break, Li Wei appeased the Liverpool players and asked them to strengthen their offense in the second half.
Although Atletico Madrid's defensive counterattack is very strong, if Liverpool want to win this game, they cannot help being conservative.You must know that Atletico Madrid has already scored 3:2 Liverpool on the total score!
If Liverpool don't want to play overtime or even a penalty shootout, they must score two goals in a row in the next time, and they can't let Atletico Madrid score.
The 15-minute intermission time passed quickly, and players from both sides reappeared.
There are no substitution adjustments on Liverpool's side, and there are also no substitution adjustments on Atletico Madrid's side.
With the sound of the referee's whistle, the Champions League semi-final battle was ignited again. Compared with the previous battle, this time the battle was more intense.
Both sides have only 45 minutes of regular game time left. Liverpool want to win, and Atletico Madrid also want to win. They must play these 45 minutes to have a chance to eliminate their opponents.
Liverpool kicked off in the first half and Atletico Madrid kicked off in the second half.
Atletico Madrid was not conservative at all. They launched an attack not long after kick-off and created a handball for Liverpool.
However, this handball is not in the penalty area, but near the middle circle.
The Liverpool players didn't care too much, who would have thought that Liverpool almost lost the ball again.
Cork hangs the football inside the Liverpool penalty area, Stones clears the football, Atletico Madrid player Mario Suarez takes the ball from the outside, James Rodriguez presses up immediately, Mario Suarez Under the harassment of James Rodriguez, he could barely send the football to the wing.
Felipe Luis catches up to the football for a low cross.
The penalty area was crowded with people, but no one touched the football. At the last point, Arda Turan suddenly appeared and volleyed.
Keylor Navas made an incredible save. He suddenly fell to the ground and saved a volley from close at hand.
…………
Carragher: "The shot just now was terrible. When I saw Arda Turan shoot, my heart almost stopped beating! Navas' save saved my heart and saved Liverpool!"
The commentator nodded and said: "Yes, if Arda Turan's shot is scored, Liverpool can almost announce that they will miss the Luce Stadium (the UEFA Champions League final stadium this season). Scoring three goals in the second half, you can't let Atletico Madrid score to eliminate the opponent!"
Li Wei on the sidelines was terrified. He touched his heart with lingering fear. He felt that after the season ended, he had to go for a heart check.
The situation just now was really exciting!
Although Keylor Navas saved Arda Turan's volley, Liverpool's goal was not yet time to breathe a sigh of relief.Navas saved Arda Turan from the bottom line, not in the bad, so the referee awarded Atletico Madrid a corner kick.
