Chapter 170 Flying and Facing
The pace of the game began to pick up, Paris' offense was still so aggressive, and Liverpool's counterattack was also extremely sharp.
Arnold and Robertson kept coming forward to attack Paris' defense.
Yi Le was isolated in the middle circle, and it was difficult for the Paris players to hand the ball to Yi Le.
Liverpool's tactics are obvious, they will sever Yi Le's connection with the team.
Let the existence of this super midfielder be minimized!
The players in Paris clearly felt this too.
Seeing that Yi Le was in prison, Neymar could only retreat to meet the pass from the midfielder.
Yi Le cannot retreat. If Yi Le retreats, the entire attack line of Paris will retreat. Therefore, Neymar can only maintain the frontcourt.
Of course, even if Neymar retreated to catch the ball, Liverpool didn't mean to let Yi Le go.
The two defensive midfielders stuck to Yi Le tightly to prevent him from touching the ball.
"The current situation is very bad. Liverpool is deliberately isolating Yi and cutting off Yi's connection with the team. Maybe Boas will consider returning Yi to the position of the midfielder." Miches said.
"No! Yi can't retreat!"
Old Monet retorted: "If Yi retreats, the game in Paris will be more difficult. Liverpool would like Yi to return to the midfielder position, so that his offensive ability will be greatly reduced, and he needs to take into account the defense, which will lead to Paris's central midfielder. If the control of the field is reduced, if the restraint of the midfield is lost, the Liverpool striker will unscrupulously attack the Paris defense."
"We are very clear that the current situation is very anxious. Liverpool's attitude is very clear. They use their own midfield to abolish Yi and block our strongest point with the smallest cost!"
"I have to say that Klopp did a lot of homework before the game, and his isolation tactics are effective."
Miches frowned: "So now we can only watch Neymar?"
Old Monet nodded and said: "Yes, Neymar is about to stand up. He is one of the core of Paris. Although he does not have Yi's dominance, he can still connect the midfield very well."
In the arena, Yi Le was so annoyed that he couldn't retreat. Once he retreated, it would be a fatal blow to the team.
he knows,
His staying in this position is more threatening than retreating. Even without the ball, he can still involve Liverpool's defensive strength of at least two midfielders.
Of course, the price is also very cruel, that is, being isolated.
Yi Le was still running around, but the two followers behind him had no intention of letting him go.
He tried to consume the opponent's physical fitness by running in a large range, but the facts told him that the physical fitness of Liverpool players is not bad.
Watching Kante struggling to break the ball from Mane and kicking it out of the sideline, Yi Le fought with his arms akimbo, and the two Liverpool midfielders also stopped, which made Yi Le feel very helpless.
Yi Le shook his head and looked at Neymar, and Neymar was also looking at Yi Le.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
"It's all on you!"
"give it to me."
Neymar retreated decisively, while Yi Le continued to stay in place. He needed to attract Liverpool's defensive strength.
On the sidelines, Klopp shook his head in disappointment seeing Yi Le not withdrawing for a long time.
He naturally hopes that Yi Le will withdraw, so that Liverpool's offensive will be sharper.
But obviously, Yi Le was not fooled.
39 minutes in the first half.
Liverpool and Paris are still attacking each other's defense.
Liverpool relied on Arnold and Robertson's frequent advances, and the three forwards pressed in together, putting great pressure on the Parisian defense.
Paris, on the other hand, relied on Yi Le's vacancy.
Push Liverpool directly.
The tempo becomes fast.
The spectators in the stands watched the game almost turning their heads once a minute.
The two teams interpreted what is meant by 'charging, rushing', and everyone was rushing forward.
When his teammates are attacking, Yi Le will pull the side to attract a certain amount of defensive power.
When Liverpool was attacking, Yi Le and Cavani were firmly rooted near the center circle, restricting Liverpool's players from pressing forward across the board.
At this time, Neymar completed a breakthrough on the right wing and directly entered the penalty area.
This is a turning point, Arnold is very aggressive, but can't completely defend Neymar.
In this case, Yi Le decisively pulled back.
On the one hand, it attracts a certain amount of defensive force.
On the other hand, it can confuse Liverpool's defense.
Sure enough, seeing Yi Le running back, the two midfielders were dumbfounded.
Should he step forward to block or continue to follow Yi Le?
Faced with a choice.
The two decided to do both.
Henderson stepped forward to block, and Wijnaldum continued to defend Yi Le.
After sending away a defensive force, Yi Le was also slightly relieved.
Yi Le's running position is very smart. He didn't go straight to the back point, but made a roundabout run, which made it impossible for Wijnaldum to defend with the team.
Yi Le couldn't help but snorted, isolated tactics, as if no one knew how to use them!
Of course, Yi Le also observed the form on the field during his running.
Both Cavani and Mbappe were seen dead, and there was no pass point.
It is difficult for Neymar to score the ball.
On the other hand, Yi Le's defense was a little loose.
Seeing that Neymar was still unable to make a decision, Yi Le raised his hand decisively and sprinted towards the back point.
Neymar naturally saw Yi Le's raised arm, and he passed the ball directly without saying a word.
The ball is fast.
Yi Le took two steps, with his knees slightly bent, and with a bang, he stood up.
In the air, Yi Le's hands were naturally backward, and his feet were bent, more than one meter away from the ground.
Wijnaldum also took off at the same time, the ball must belong to him.
Yi Le obviously has no experience in heading the ball, and the timing of the take-off is not well controlled. Yi Le jumped too early.
On the other hand, Wijnaldum jumped a little later, and the timing of reaching the highest point was just right.
Just when he was secretly complacent, he discovered to his astonishment that Yi Le's body had no downward trend.
Instead, they kept rising, and the most terrible thing was that the two of them reached the commanding heights almost at the same time.
Because Yi Le fell off and took off, Yi Le got stuck instead.
What kind of air control capability is this?
Wijnaldum complained crazily in his heart.
He wanted to stretch out his hand to interfere with Yi Le, but Yi Le had already pressed his elbow on his shoulder, causing Wijnaldum to start to descend, but Yi Le still swooped ahead.
"Neymar passes the ball!"
"Yi and Wijnaldum jump at the same time!"
"God! Yi jumps so high, he's flying!!"
"This ball...uh..."
bump! ! !
The ball made close contact with Yi Le's face and flew straight out of the baseline.
When Yi Le landed, he immediately covered his face and landed.
The face hurts, the ball seems to hit the bridge of the nose, tears ran out without disappointment.
Worst of all... it's so fucking embarrassing.
Definitely have to practice pitching when I go back!
Wijnaldum also looked at Yi Le foolishly, jumping so high, why don't you just show me this?
"Did the ball hit Yi's face just now?" Miches said awkwardly.
Old Monet also grinned and said, "This should hurt!"
"Yeah, it looks like Yi needs to hone his pitching skills."
