What level is Liverpool at?

It's really hard to say. They reached the Champions League finals in 1977 and 1978 and successfully won the championship. Most of this group of players have experienced the previous two championships, so they are rich in experience.

But Wu Jie feels that this Liverpool team has similar problems to Nottingham Forest. The group of players who swept across Europe are older and have more injuries, and many of them have passed their prime.

However, Liverpool have lost hope of winning the league and are out of the FA Cup, which allows them to focus all their energy on the Champions League.

Liverpool's original position was 1:1 in the two rounds of the semi-finals. They used the away goal advantage to defeat Bayern and enter the final. Finally, they defeated Real Madrid 1:0 in the final and successfully won the Champions League trophy for the third time in five years.

But this score shows that Liverpool has little advantage, and it also shows that the defense of these three teams is good. Basically, just one goal can determine the outcome of the game.

Today, Chernai also focused on defense first, taking not conceding as the first premise, and then seeing if Wu Jie can use his personal ability to create goals.

Yes, Bayern's tactics today are very conservative. The first priority is to ensure that Liverpool does not get away goals. Even if it is 0:0, it is still a small profit.

The specific way of playing is to use Wu Jie's personal ability on the offensive end to attack more with less, and on the defensive end to use the numerical advantage to defend more and defend less.

But once on the court, Wu Jie found that Liverpool's tactics were more conservative. Even if the British did not attack, they had to ensure that the defensive end was airtight.

There are two or three players ambushing him all the time. Although these people will not defend him at the same time, as soon as he gets the ball, they will immediately attack and surround him. There will be at least two people around him who are ready to cut off the communication between him and his teammates.

Contact and wait for the opportunity to intercept the pass.

This is the first time Wu Jie has seen this kind of defense. Even with his ability, it is difficult for him to break the game by himself. He can only use his involvement to help his teammates on both wings create opportunities.

However, Liverpool frantically placed seven or eight people in the 30-meter area in front of the goal. Only two forwards would look for opportunities near the midfield. In many cases, even Liverpool's number one star Dalglish had to participate in the defense.

At this moment, the second leader of Liverpool's boot room, Bob Paisley, was looking at the crowded home half with a blank expression.

Of course he knows that this kind of defense is very ugly, but if he wants to reach the end of the Champions League, the games after the quarter-finals will be so ugly.

Bayern's playing style today was not much better. The home fans have been mocking and insulting Liverpool for being a coward, but Paisri, whose health is deteriorating, does not feel it is embarrassing at all to play like this.

Liverpool was also the team that pursued Wu Jie at the beginning, and they were very aware of Wu Jie's abilities.

Today is Bayern's home court again. He is not willing to use foul tactics against Wu Jie, which means giving Bayern a lot of free kicks. Now who doesn't know that "Chinese Arc" is best at hitting long-distance free kicks?

After studying Wu Jie's free kicks in the "Boot Room", we came to the conclusion that they are really magical and very threatening. Unless he is sure to get the home whistle, he must not be allowed to easily get the free kicks.

So since they can't kill the alien, they can only use layers of siege tactics to restrict this guy.

But Bayern also has two generals, Breitner and Rummenigge, and the two wingers are not easy to deal with. They cannot take these people lightly either.

In the end, I had to rather not attack than make sure not to concede the ball first.

He arranged today's victory or defeat in the last ten minutes. To put it bluntly, he shamelessly stayed for 80 minutes, and then waited for the last ten minutes to seize the opportunity to complete several sneak attacks.

If the sneak attack is successful, they can return in triumph.

Even if the sneak attack fails, as long as the ball is not lost, it can be considered as a safe escape.

Today, both sides only value the results and not the process.

As a result, the first half was ugly. Whether it was a ground attack or a long pass, such a dense defensive formation made it impossible for both sides to organize a decent offense.

However, even so, Wu Jie is still the most dazzling person on the field, because he is the only one who can still pose a threat to Liverpool in a crowded environment.

Although Liverpool's defense was tightly packed with people, Wu Jie still had several consecutive outstanding performances. Although he failed to create excellent opportunities, it at least proved that his skills were superior to the players of the two teams. Others

Under this kind of defense, no one can complete consecutive dribbles like him.

But what frightened Liverpool the most was Wu Jie's long shot. Clemens could already feel the horror of the "elevator ball" in the video, but he didn't expect that Wu Jie's long shot could also create such a weird arc.

In the first half, Wu Jie had three long-range shots from 25 meters away. In one case, Clemens was highly concentrated and saved the ball. But in another case, the football broke through his fingers and hit the goal frame. The other time, it was also a brush.

Flying out of the bottom line against the upright post.

These three long-range shots were Bayern's closest chances to score in the first half. Wu Jie's outstanding performance made the home fans anxious and happy, because although Bayern was better than Liverpool on the field, including in creating opportunities, they still failed to create in the end.

Score a goal.

Liverpool fans were anxious and frightened now. In the first half, they watched with fear as their team defended like a tortoise. Every time Bayern attacked, they did not dare to breathe, because any fan with some common sense knew that Bayern would once

If a goal is scored, Liverpool will definitely use this kind of shrinking defense, and it will be really difficult to beat them.

Fortunately, Liverpool's turtle shell was never broken, and the two teams tied 0:0 in the first half.

During the halftime break, the German commentators were mocking Liverpool's turtle defense.

Because from the data point of view, Bayern's ball possession rate in the first half reached 70%, and the shot ratio was 11:2. This is basically Bayern beating Liverpool.

But Chernai did not dare to be careless. He also watched the first half of the game with trepidation, fearing that his team would become aggressive and not know how to retreat when attacking, in case Liverpool seized the opportunity to launch a fatal counterattack.

That would be passive.

Fortunately, the discipline of this team is quite strict under his training. Even though the statistics of the two teams were very different in the first half, Bayern actually left enough manpower to prevent the opponent from counterattacking every time they attacked.

But he also knows that the best result if this fight continues is 0:0.

But this is not the best result for Bayern. Home games still need to win to be considered qualified.

So in the second half, Wu Jie was pushed back to the forward line. Chernai replaced Hoeness with a midfielder, once again asked Wu Jie to play center, and changed to a long pass tactic.

Wu Jie thinks this change of formation is very clever. Although he is unwilling to play center, it is obvious that he will not get any results if he continues to play as a free agent in this game.

Liverpool had too many players on the defensive end, giving him no chance to break through with the ball or pass a through ball.

At this time, becoming a high center forward in the penalty area will allow him and his teammates to get more threatening opportunities.

This change really had an effect. Just 2 minutes into the second half, Breitner kicked off the ball in the middle and passed the ball into the penalty area.

At this time, Wu Jie no longer cared about showing off his skills. He used his height and jumping advantages to resist Liverpool captain Phil Thompson in the air and successfully tipped the ball in the direction of Rummenigge.

Rummenigge got the football outside the penalty area, turned around and stepped out of the gap, then immediately started to hit the goal. Unfortunately, due to the interference of two defensive players, the ball hit the side netting.

Wu Jie didn't say anything. There were many people defending Rummenigge. In this case, it was impossible to give him too much time to take the ball and make moves. Otherwise, more people would immediately enter the defensive position, and then there would be no chance of shooting.

there is none left.

But in this case, if you want to shoot from a perfect angle and break through the goalkeeper's fingers, it depends on his luck. It is impossible to hit where every difficult shot is.

However, this attack proved that Chernai's arrangement was effective. Liverpool did not expect that Wu Jie would suddenly play as a tactical center, and the defensive formation finally became a little chaotic.

"Colin, go warm up!"

Paisley was surprised by Bayern's change of formation, but as the second head of Liverpool's boot room, his level of adaptability is naturally no worse than Chernai's.

After just one attack, he discovered the problem and immediately prepared to switch to a high defender to continue to defend.

"Bob, if you continue to fight like this, public opinion will be very unfavorable to you!"

Assistant coach Fagan kindly reminded that the British media will not only spread rumors, they will also try every means to find faults, including making trouble for their own people. This is also a skill they are good at.

Paisley shook his head and did not answer. He didn't know that even if the score was 0:0 with this turtle tactic, he would definitely be criticized by the media when he returned to the UK tomorrow, including a lot of saliva from his own fans.

But he also knows that Bayern in front of him is definitely stronger than Liverpool in terms of physical strength, and this is Bayern's home court. If he doesn't pretend to be a grandson, he will definitely be beaten into one.

But this kind of words can only be kept in the heart. How can the British team be inferior to the German team in terms of hard power?

If you say something like this out loud, you have to apologize, okay?

However, before Liverpool completed the substitution, Wu Jie created another opportunity.

This time it was Kurt's 45-degree cross from the left. Wu Jie retreated slightly and made a historic stop, stepping on the ball directly under his feet.

Liverpool's central defender Alan Hansen was dumbfounded. Is it okay to pass such a high and far ball directly under his feet?

However, Wu Jie did more than simply step on the ball. 0.1 seconds after stopping the ball, he took advantage of the situation and poked the ball under Allen's feet, just like that, the football passed under the opponent's crotch.

Allen hurriedly turned around, but Wu Jie was faster. Not only did he squeeze through first, but he also knocked him to the ground.

Liverpool captain Phil Thompson hurriedly took over the position. Wu Jie caught up with the football but before he started to speed up, he first used his left foot to pull the ball behind Phil Thompson.

This fancy pull made the ball roll in the direction of Phil Thompson, but Wu Jie seemed to have separated the ball in an instant.

This looked like a mistake. When Phil Thompson saw this, he thought Wu Jie was out of luck and immediately kicked the football, preparing to interrupt the attack.

But just when he was about to kick the football, Wu Jie stepped on the ball with the sole of his right foot, then pulled it towards him, and then knocked forward with his left foot, and an inhumane dribble was born.

Phil Thompson, who had already kicked the football at this time, was completely deceived into losing his center of gravity. After the kick was missed, he could no longer react. He could only watch as Wu Jie used a set of acrobatic moves to complete the pass.

Wu Jie did not use the "Bengbu roundabout" this time, but used two quick and consecutive pulls to tease the Liverpool captain, then accelerated to the penalty area and completed the shot before the assisting defender was in place.

Clemens flew towards the football, but this time Wu Jie had time to aim and exert his force. No matter how fast he saved, the football was shot out, and the black and white elf flew into the goal while grazing the far post.
