Chapter 1395 Overtime [Part [-]]
Liverpool continued to attack after taking the ball, but in front of them was a solid wall. Atletico Madrid's nine players retreated to the penalty area, let alone sending the football to Atletico Madrid's penalty area.It is quite difficult for Liverpool to reach the 30-meter zone of Atletico Madrid.
Liverpool dare not lose the ball at will, they can only patiently control the ball and then control the ball, and pass the ball to mobilize Atletico Madrid to run.The players know very well that as long as you move, there will be holes in this line of defense. This time is Liverpool's opportunity!
It's just that Atletico Madrid's defense is better than Liverpool's imagined. It's not that Atletico Madrid's defense has no flaws, but that these flaws come and disappear quickly. Atlético Madrid players are blocked in this attacking route.
And when Liverpool took the risk of forcibly tearing through Atletico Madrid's defense, it often ended in failure.
Neymar's ability to pass people is very strong. He can pass one person and another person inside the iron wall of Atletico Madrid, but basically he has almost broken through to this level.
Either the person passed but the ball did not, or the ball passed but the person did not.
One minute into the game, Neymar saw that he couldn't break through, screamed in desperation, and fell into the penalty area.
It's a pity that Neymar deceived Rizzoli, but he did not deceive the goal line referee. His angle can see the situation in the penalty area more clearly.
Rizzoli gives Neymar a yellow card.
The Liverpool fans at the scene booed. Naturally, the boos were not for Neymar who dived, but for the referee Rizzoli.
The fans are always emotional, they don't care whether Neymar is really falling or flopping, they are only in this critical moment, the team urgently needs a precious goal.
Li Wei was a little unhappy. Although he liked winning, he never liked this kind of victory obtained by flopping.
Because when the players find out that they can win by flopping, who will seriously practice the ball in the future?Anyway, I just need to practice my acting skills well, so why bother to train hard.
Will fans still love football, a sport full of hypocrisy?
He decided to have a good talk with Neymar after the game. He can accept technical players to protect themselves by flopping, but he doesn't like this kind of victory by flopping.
…………
The game ended 15 minutes into the first half of extra time, and no one could score.
Atletico Madrid couldn't counterattack, and Liverpool's offense couldn't threaten Atletico Madrid's gate.
The only bright spot in the first half of extra time was probably Neymar, who was very active. Liverpool's offense mainly came from his left wing.
There is no intermission in overtime. After the referee blows his whistle, the players will go to the opponent's half and change sides to fight again.
The only rest is probably when the referee opens and closes his eyes and asks the players to go to the sidelines to replenish water. The players take advantage of the drinking time to rest for ten to 20 seconds, and then they have to walk slowly to the half where the opponent was originally. field.
Soon the second half of extra time began, and Atletico Madrid kicked off.
Atlético Madrid don't want to attack, it's a well-known thing, they pour the ball from the back.
But this time the Liverpool players did not step forward to press, the backcourt players basically did not move, and the frontcourt players did it slowly.
…………
"Liverpool is so quiet!" the commentator said in surprise.
Carragher said: "It seems that Liverpool is going to decide the winner in the penalty shootout, but this is not necessarily a good thing."
Indeed, the penalty shootout is very suspenseful.
Announcer: "It was a really bad overtime game."
Liverpool fans in the stands booed and chanted: "Attack! Coward! Attack! Coward!"
Atletico Madrid players couldn't bear it anymore, but Simeone kept calming his disciples on the sidelines.
Atletico Madrid's formation is not suitable for attacking, they don't have a real center forward on the pitch.
Looking at Atletico Madrid's offensive line, Christian Rodriguez played as a center forward, but he is actually just a fast winger, and he can't play the role of a center forward in series.
Behind Christian Rodriguez are Raúl Garcia, Koke and Jose Sousa, although their attacking power is not bad, but at the end of the day they are just midfielders.
The lack of a qualified center is the core reason why Atletico Madrid is not attacking now.
Simeone has already regretted replacing Diego Costa now. If he knew that there would be overtime, he would not let Diego Costa leave the field early to rest.If Diego Costa was still on the court, the team would not have to play so passively.Even without Diego Costa, if he still has a substitution quota, he can also replace striker Villa.
It's just too late to say anything now.
Time passed little by little, since the second half of the game to the present, in a full 10 minutes, a situation that the fans did not expect at all appeared.
Atlético Madrid had 10% possession in those 100 minutes.
The Liverpool players really didn't come up to press, and completely let the Atletico Madrid players pour the ball from the backcourt. Only when Atletico Madrid players tried to attack, they would show their muscles and strengthen the press.
When Atletico Madrid returned the pass immediately after being frightened, the Liverpool players retreated to their own half, looking desperate.
Some fans in the stands could not help falling asleep.
This game is too!too!It's so dull! !
It was so dull that some fans were already having fun in the stands, and Atletico Madrid fans also joined in.There is no way, it's too boring. If you don't join the wave activities created by Liverpool fans, Atletico Madrid fans feel that they can't help but sleep.
The commentator said helplessly: "When two utilitarian coaches meet together, it is so helpless. Fortunately, there is a penalty shootout to decide the outcome. Otherwise, I doubt that if football is like basketball, after overtime It's still extra time, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid can probably play this Champions League semi-final to the end of the earth, and there is still no winner."
Carragher complained dissatisfied: "If I were the head coach, I would never allow such a situation to happen! Not a man at all!"
