568 Classic Triangle Pass
At Anfield Stadium, when the referee blew the whistle, Dortmund took the lead in starting the game and the game officially kicked off!
Passion ignited at this moment!
Dortmund's midfield was running quickly. After Shahin, Mkhitaryan and Bend quickly completed the pass, Shahin passed the ball diagonally on the right side of the frontcourt. Kuba scored a ball in front of Robertson and knocked the ball across. Lewandowski, who had already moved in advance to receive the ball, touched the ball and suddenly dunked it towards the penalty area!
Benatia was accidentally broken through from the outside by Lewandowski. When he turned back to defend and blocked, Lewandowski had already shot the ball!
Ter Stegen was shocked. He never expected that Dortmund would shoot in less than 20 seconds of the game!
After moving a step in a hurry, he barely blocked the ball in the penalty area. Ter Stegen almost slipped under his feet and fell to the ground. He quickly ran to pick up the ball again, and cold sweat had already oozed out of his forehead.
"Wow, Lewandowski completed a shot at the beginning!
This Polish striker is now a well-known center in European football. His strength is undoubtedly the biggest threat to Liverpool's defense line today!”
Situ Yunbing's style of playing against Dortmund is not surprising. Klopp has streamlined Dortmund's style of playing as much as possible, and at the same time requires overall tight defense. Perhaps they do not have an interception master like Kanter, but use wolves-style siege to curb the opponent's offensive. This is also effective, but it is undeniable that if they can have one or two world-class stars, this Dortmund will definitely be a favorite to win the Champions League championship for a long time!
When Liverpool starts the positional offense, it is obvious that Dortmund, in addition to Lewandowski, retreating to the near-center circle, two players of Kuba and Groschloitz, who play wingers, will return to the midfield and backcourt to assist the midfield in local encirclement!
Liverpool has to speed up the offensive transfer in positional battles, otherwise if they fall into the encirclement, there is a great risk of losing the ball.
Eriksen encountered a press from Mkhitaryan and Groschloitz in the right side of the frontcourt. He hit the ball across the right side. Azpilicueta assisted and just pushed for 5 yards but then spiked back. Because he saw Mkhitaryan return to the side and form a layered defense with Schmelzer. At the same time, Bend was keeping Gerard while Sterling had no room for support. He took him over again, which was undoubtedly a suicide attempt.
Azpilicueta decisively passed the ball across the middle to look for Kante, who then passed the ball straight ahead.
Coutinho responded in the left area in front of the penalty area, but was already trapped in the double-team between Piszczek and Shahin. At this time, he knocked the ball back diagonally to Eriksen who came to the middle.
The Danish midfielder advanced two steps forward and directly made a pass, trying to give Gareth Bale a chance to pass over the top, but Subotic headed the ball to clear the ball.
The positional war was not defeated, which was expected for Situ Yunbing. Dortmund's close and active joint defense and the entire army's running and covering almost without hesitation will bring great offensive resistance to Liverpool.
But the counterattack after the attack was setback is the key focus of Liverpool's current stage in playing against a strong team of Dortmund at this stage!
When Groschloitz was about to take the ball, Gerald and Eriksen rushed to block him. Groschloitz did not dare to pass the ball to nearby teammates, for fear of being intercepted, so he shook his head and flew to find Lewandowski in the middle circle.
When Lewandowski and Benatia were in physical confrontation in the central circle, Lewandowski was not at all inferior, and he immediately shook his head and flew.
The football flew to the front of Cuba, who kicked the ball behind the Liverpool back line before Robertson, and then strode and rushed past Robertson. If he touched the ball again, he would be a one-on-one shot!
But Van Dijk took the lead and controlled the ball.
Liverpool curbs Dortmund's counterattack.
It is under this counter-attack pressure that the Borussia Dortmund's counterattack efficiency has decreased, which is the main tactical effect of Liverpool in defense today.
But this is just Liverpool's defensive strategy. It is still difficult for them to play some effective and useful strategies in offense. In high-level battles, curbing opponents has become the first thing most strong teams need to consider. Of course, La Liga doubles Barcelona and Real Madrid are exceptions, and they prefer to use attack instead of defense.
In the 6th minute of the game, Liverpool attacked from the left in the frontcourt. Coutinho quickly knocked the ball back after receiving the pass from Gerald, otherwise Piszczek would have the risk of intercepting the ball to him.
Robertson assisted and made a cross from the wing with a 45-degree cross.
Hummels headed the ball easily.
Liverpool, which is constantly pressing forward, also compressed Dortmund's space from defense to offense in the frontcourt. Eriksen interfered when Mkhitaryan stopped the ball, and then Gerrard successfully intercepted the ball!
The Reds captain quickly passed the ball diagonally on the right, and Sterling immediately ran and waded inward. The speed did catch Dortmund's defense off guard, but facing Hummels in front of the penalty area, Sterling still chose to cooperate with Gareth Bale in passing and cutting, but did not choose to force a breakthrough.
Gareth Bale scored a goal and blocked the right rib of the penalty area.
When Sterling shot in front of him, Schmelzer rushed from the back and released the shovel to interfere with him. Sterzer's shot hit Schmelzer's leg and bounced high and flew out of the baseline.
Situ Yunbing saw that such a style of play still could not shake Dortmund's defense, so he basically knew it.
The same style of play works in the Premier League, and that is the level of the mid- and lower-level teams in the Premier League is there, but in the Champions League, it is difficult to break through the defense of strong teams through Premier League styles.
So he decisively made gestures to the team less than 10 minutes into the opening game and adopted the second plan.
Dortmund's defense line is world-class, and it is not realistic to strike from a global perspective, so focus on breaking through and creating opportunities!
In the 12th minute of the game, Dortmund attacked in the frontcourt. Groschloitz was hit by Eriksen and Azpilicueta while quickly dribbling on the left. He knocked the ball back to Mkhitaryan. The latter quickly transferred the offensive to the right. Shahin assisted and received the ball and passed the ball to Kuba. The latter continued to advance towards the forward dribbling and chose to break through.
Robertson controlled the inside well, but Kuba did not cross in front of the baseline, but instead knocked the ball back to Piszczek who assisted. Piszczek quickly turned around and returned to defense.
Lewandowski had already stepped forward, but he decisively retreated to respond when Kuba passed back. This time, when he was receiving the back from the penalty area line, he was jointly defended by Kante and Benatia. He had no room to control the ball, so he knocked the ball back to Shahin. The latter pivoted the ball under Gerald's defense and immediately passed the ball to the depths of the right rib of the penalty area.
But Kuba quickly cut inside and got the ball first!
Kuba hit the ball deep in the right side of the penalty area to the back point of the penalty area.
Groschloitz quickly cut in and wanted to complete the goal, but Van Dijk swept the ball out of the sideline first.
Klopp is solemn, and Liverpool's defense is really strong!
This is a tough battle for Liverpool, but for Dortmund, isn't it?
In the 17th minute of the game, Liverpool quickly passed and cooperated in the middle of the frontcourt. When the attack hit Sterling's feet, Schmelzer decisively stepped forward and put pressure on Sterling to control the ball. Sterling could not pull the ball and turned around, so he passed the ball to Gerald, who took the initiative to catch up. The latter made a diagonal pass before Bender stole the ball and sent the ball to the bottom line on the right.
Schmelzer turned around and suddenly realized that Gareth Bale was the center forward today but was able to respond!
He immediately rushed towards Gareth Bale, but the latter passed the ball into the penalty area!
Schmelzer was in a dilemma at this time, and Sterling quickly cut in and received Gareth Bale's pass. When Hummels returned to defend and blocked his cross line, he suddenly splashed the ball and shook it out from Hummels. When Hummels stopped urgently and then blocked, Sterling had already passed the ball!
Seeing that Gerald entered the penalty area and was about to shoot, Subotic naturally had to go forward to block the block, but Gerald, who was blocking and attacking from Bend and Subotic, hit the ball towards the left front like a dragonfly.
The audience held their breath and focused, and everyone could intuitively see that Dortmund's defense line had been destroyed!
Under the gaze of everyone, Coutinion cut in and stopped and moved, and adjusted the ball to take a step forward. When Weidenfell made a tricky instep with the instep of his right foot!
The football flew to the far corner of the goal with a slight inner arc. Weidenfell jumped and failed to touch the football!
Bang!
The football hit the inside of the right post and bounced into the goal!
Coutinho immediately turned around and rushed to celebrate!
The Liverpool generals also chased him and roared passionately.
Even Situ Yunbing raised his fists high on the sidelines for a long time and was quite excited!
"Coutinho scored! Liverpool won the first goal at home!
Dortmund's defense failed to withstand the impact of Liverpool in this defense!
Gareth Bale, who played the guest center during Suarez's injury, actively pulled the side and responded. On the right side of the frontcourt, Liverpool played a classic triangle pass-through tactic, from Sterling to Gerald to Gareth Bale, then Sterling stepped forward, Gareth Bale passed the ball to Sterling, and Gerald was also running. Sterling gave him the ball, and the three of them had a wonderful chemical reaction. In the end, Gerald assisted Coutinho to complete the goal!
In this process, Dortmund's defense line made people feel that every step was almost able to kill Liverpool's offensive, but it failed in the end!
It can be said that Liverpool has put a lot of effort into tactical details, which is enough to show Situ Yunbing's achievements in tactical levels!
Chapter completed!
