The “home team” was missing from the starting lineup Willi Orbán, Nevertheless Péter Gulácsi of course it was at the gates of Leipzig. THE Image newspaper his outfield team revealed that they thought Orbán would be too slow against Liverpool’s speedy forwards, and Julian Nagelsmann Therefore, the coach put the key player of the Hungarian team on the bench. In hindsight, it may have been a mistake.
Schalke’s “guests” were Turkish certificates last week Ozan kabak was one of the inside defenders, along with team captain Jordan Henderson, who would otherwise be a midfielder, in pairs, like the three “full-time” midfielders. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez Y Joel matip both fought throughout the season. So the Slovenian Slavko Vincic When the referee’s whistle blew, the teams started like this:
RB Leipzig: Gulácsi – Mukiele, Upamecano, Klostermann – Haidara, Adams, Kampl, Angelino – Dani Olmo, Sabitzer – Nkunku.
Liverpool: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Kabak, Henderson, Robertson – Thiago, Wijnaldum, Jones – Szalah, Firmino, Mané.
Aside from the line of battles, 2019 Champions League winner Liverpool held tightly in peacetime reserve at the Puskás Arena of 67,000, but is now gaping due to the coronavirus epidemic for the first match of the eighth final of the BL, and was in the situation faramuci that volt Jurgen Klopp The coach’s team is the defending Premier League champion and a six-time BEK / BL winner, but, in terms of current form, RB Leipzig had a chance to participate in the match.
We learned from a journalist in Bild that Dominik Szoboszlai their riding muscle injury heals more slowly than expected, and they don’t expect the twenty-year-old class to play until early mid-March. By the way, the people of Leipzig recently announced that the young midfielder is already doing individual training work.
Then the game began and as it was possible to wrap up, the game took place in the Leipzig half. Until the fourth minute when Angelino ran to the left edge, he drew the ball forward Dani Olmo and the head crossed from the base of the right post in front of the goal line. It was a great situation Alisson threw but missed the ball.
Then NordiMukiele Y Amadou Haidara he also received a yellow card. In minute 15 MohamedSzalah jumped on the correct link, could still poke the ball with the tip, but Gulacsi He ran out very well, closed the angle and cleared with his shoulder, then ten seconds later RobertFirmino fired from a heavy angle towards the side net.
The break had a ball possession rate of 62:38 in favor of the English.
In the 32nd minute, the air heated up. Gulácsi escaped from Sadio Mané, but the ball Andrew Robertson He bounced in front of him, who snuggled him from the starting circle, the Hungarian goalkeeper ran back desperately, but missed the ball, which fell a centimeter over the bar to the top edge of the net. Meanwhile, Gulácsi crashed into the net, injured himself a bit, but after two minutes of care he was able to continue the game.
In the 36th minute Firmino scored a goal, but the ball had previously crossed the end line. Ball possession changed to 58:42 at the end of time, but it was still in favor of the Reds, but the goal did not fall.
After reboot Cristopher Nkunku could have put Leipzig ahead immediately, the forward ran over Jordan Henderson, but his close shot Alisson could hit, a corner was the end of the situation.
In the 53rd minute Marcel sabitzer, the Leipzig captain taunted Salah with a big ball, the only problem is that the Egyptian is the opponent’s battle. Salah welcomed the pass, then rolled into the left corner alongside the defenseless Gulácsi, 0-1.
If Liverpool’s first goal was preceded by a major defensive error, what about the second? This time Mukiele He missed the ball badly, Mané was able to walk to the foreground of Gulácsi’s goal and then shot loosely at the net, 0-2. Did Coach Nagelsmann think it might have been better to play against Willi Orban? In any case, in the 64th minute, the Hungarian defender replaced Mukiel in defense.
After that, the German team played in the lead, but did not get much into position, Liverpool routinely maintained their two goal lead. What did you decide in favor of the English in this match? Greater routine and safe use of the situation. Well, of course, let’s not overlook the fact that mistakes as big as those made by Sabitzer and Mukiele cannot fit at this level. And didn’t Nagelsmann make a mistake by nominating Mukiel for the start instead of Orbán?
But at least that’s what happened.
In the eighth final on Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Barcelona 4-1 away.
