"The atmosphere at Anfield tonight is overwhelming! The second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 final will be staged here.
As Liverpool lost 0:2 to AC Milan in San Siro in the first leg, the prospects of the defending champions advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League are not very optimistic. In times of crisis, we saw Liverpool fans united as one, and they created huge crowds in the stadium stands. Momentum, in order to put pressure on AC Milan.
The defending champion of multi-line combat did not have the momentum of the Champions League knockout in the past two years. After losing to AC Milan, "Gazzetta dello Sport" said that the Rossoneri will give the defending champion Liverpool a heart-wrenching Battle of Waterloo!
Let us see how the game will be played at Anfield today.
Liverpool put up a 433 formation today, obviously wanting to exert full pressure on AC Milan.
Goalkeeper: Reina.
Defenders: Johnson, Skrtel, Thiago Silva, Baynes.
Midfield: Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard.
Forwards: Raul, Suarez, Qin Xiong.
AC Milan set up a 4312 formation in the away game today.
Goalkeeper: Abbiati.
Defenders: Abate, Mexes, Bonera, Antonini.
Midfield: Emmanuelsen, Van Bommel, Robinho, Nocerino.
Forwards: Ibrahimovic, Shalawi.
Today AC Milan let Robinho play the attacking midfielder, and the teenager Shalawi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic partnered forward. I don't know if this combination can play a threat at Anfield. We must know that Liverpool's home defense is still very tough.
Well, without further ado, let's watch the game together. "
From the beginning of the game, Liverpool played momentum.
After a continuous pass from the midfielder, Baynes assisted up to meet Alonso's pass and then passed the ball straight.
Qin Xiong cut across the front side of the field. After meeting his long-lost teammate Emmanuelsen, he neither dribbled nor passed the ball. Instead, he directly chose a long-range shot from the top corner of the penalty area!
AC Milan broke out in a cold sweat with a curling shot to the far corner of the goal.
Of course AC Milan is aware of Qin Xiong's threat, so in today's three midfielders, Emmanuelsen and Van Bommel mainly cooperate with the back line to mark Qin Xiong.
AC Milan's offense relies on the front three. The midfielders Nocerino and Emmanuelson can at best support just past the midfield, and the full-backs dare not assist.
This made AC Milan's offense very difficult.
In the 6th minute of the game, Robinho finally received a pass from his teammate in the backcourt on the front waistline. He just turned around and got rid of Alonso's defense and faced Mascherano's pressing. He rushed the ball Kicked in the direction of Ibrahimovic, but Thiago Silva took the lead to steal the ball!
Once the iron guard of the Rossoneri, now he meets the old home stadium. Thiago Silva has already experienced the huge boos from AC Milan fans in San Siro and the infamy of traitors.
Liverpool's offensive first focused on possession of the ball in the midfield, and then passed the ball to Qin Xiong's feet after a lateral pass.
Qin Xiong continued to hold the ball on the left side of the frontcourt to create offensive pressure.
In the 13th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball from the left to force Abate. Abate's center of gravity was unstable during the continuous emergency stop and turn, and Qin Xiong broke through.
Emmanuelsen had already retreated to the front of the penalty area to block Qin Xiong's advance, and Van Bommel also moved to the left in front of the penalty area to prevent Qin Xiong from turning to the corridor in front of the penalty area.
AC Milan's defense does list Qin Xiong as the first defensive focus.
But Qin Xiong is still making threats.
After waving the ball into the penalty area, he suddenly knocked the ball behind him with his heel.
Baines assisted up to meet the ball and then passed through. Qin Xiong used physical confrontation to push away Emmanuelson to let the ball roll in the corridor, and then shot the ball neatly after the ball rolled over!
Mexes made the key interception, his tackle kicking the ball with his thigh and sending it flying into the stands.
"There was a dangerous situation in the penalty area of AC Milan again. Fortunately, Mex blocked it in time. Otherwise, it would be difficult to say whether Qin Xiong's shot would rewrite the score. Liverpool put great pressure on AC Milan at home, but the attack point was too single Already, almost all the attacks were concentrated on Qin Xiong."
That's exactly what Liverpool do and want to achieve.
When Qin Xiong continued to play threats on the left side of the frontcourt, AC Milan's defense would naturally tilt to this side.
When the game came to the 21st minute, the AC Milan midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball forward.
Nocerino wanted to send a through pass to Shalawi, but the intention was too obvious, and Johnson blocked the ball.
Liverpool immediately launched a fast break.
Johnson passed the ball to the midfield commander Alonso, who then passed the ball directly to the left side of the front field.
While Qin Xiong retreated to respond, AC Milan's defense line was already tilting to this side!
Qin Xiong greeted the ball and directly passed the ball to the right with a wide-range long pass.
This change caught AC Milan by surprise, and they all subconsciously thought that Qin Xiong would come by himself!
They are also used to defending Qin Xiong like this.
It is thought that Qin Xiong will be trapped to death in San Siro just like the last game.
But they were wrong!
Liverpool lost in the last game, not only because of Qin Xiong's sluggish performance, but also because of the poor performance of the entire Liverpool team.
But after the adjustments in the past half a month, coupled with the emphasis on this game, Liverpool still has the advantage of the home court, and their performance will naturally be better.
Moreover, the strategic routine of playing east and west is even more handy.
The long pass of the cross-section of the horizontal frame made the Red Army fans on the scene gasp in amazement!
There is a lot of space on the right side of the front field, because AC Milan's defense is concentrated on the left side.
When Raul stopped the ball skillfully here, the audience could all realize: Liverpool's offensive transfer was done!
And Raul didn't drag his feet, he immediately passed the ball across.
Gerrard, who jumped in from the back, touched the ball before Nocerino, and took advantage of the trend to go forward and hit the front of the penalty area!
Before Antonini and Bonera joined forces to block Gerrard's forward line, Gerrard straightened the ball behind Sebonera.
Suarez, who was suspended in England, has held back several games!
Cooperating with Gerrard's through pass, Suarez started amazingly, cut straight to the space behind Bonera, then turned halfway to meet the ball and volleyed!
This volley made a burst of sight.
In the blink of an eye, the football went into the upper corner of the near corner of the goal!
Abbiati didn't even have time to make a save!
The audience at Anfield cheered, and the fans waved their fists and roared passionately.
Suarez rushed into the goal, held the ball in his arms, and then started to run towards the midfield. Gerrard patted him on the shoulder on the way. Suarez turned his head and winked at Qin Xiong, who was trotting towards the midfield together. , the corner of Qin Xiong's mouth raised a faint smile, which was fleeting. (to be continued~^~)
