Someone once said that the trajectory of life is like an N-shaped curve, from birth, rapid growth, to the peak at the age of 30, and then it begins to go downhill, and finally dies, and birth and death are on the same level.

If analyzed from a psychological point of view, the first turning point of the n-shaped curve is in the three or five years between the ages of 18 and 20, because this age is the stage when a person establishes the motivation for survival, and it is generally difficult to change it after this age.

That is what is commonly said, the goal for which people strive for their lives!

In football, 30 years old is also a turning point, generally after 30 years old, it almost means that the player has begun to decline, so many teams in the recruitment, the focus is on the 24-28 age group, because the players in this age group have the goal to pursue, have strength and motivation, and the psychological quality is relatively stable.

There is a popular saying in the circle of head coaches that it is impossible to rely on a group of imps to fight the world!

Why are so many professionals not optimistic about Liverpool in this Champions League?

Is it because the strength of this team is not good, and the gap with Juventus is too big?

Obviously not, even the Serie A promotion horses can play against Juventus, Liverpool, as the Premier League champion last season, is the team coached by Yang Cheng, how can it not be?

The key is also in the experience, in the mentality!

To contrast two of the simplest examples, 23-year-old Essien and 32-year-old Davis.

From a technical point of view, the two can be said to be similar, but they have their own strengths, but why can't Essien show the kind of strength that Davis has?

This is because he is not as good as Davis in terms of experience and stability, if Davis's experience and stability can make him play 100% of his strength, then Essien can only play 80%, or even lower, which is why young players can't play the world.

Another point is that the veterans are experienced, and in the event of an emergency, they know how to deal with it and how to stabilize the situation, because they have experienced countless such mutations, have rich experience in dealing with them, and know what to do best.

But the youngsters are not, they will mess up!

It's like at the beginning of this final, when they suddenly found that as soon as they opened the ball, Juventus rushed over like crazy, and every player's expression was so fierce, and every player's movements looked so fierce, as if they couldn't leave the ball, they had to leave their legs.

Young players will panic, and if they panic, they are prone to make mistakes, and when they make mistakes, they will be fatal!

Juventus' right flank has been the Bianconeri's best side of the season, and Camoranesi has played the best season of his career, and it is he who has made Juventus, who have lacked creativity throughout the midfield, sharpen.

According to Capello's pre-match arrangement, the right side is more of a feint, that is, it acts as a role to attract defensive pressure.

Therefore, in the counterattack after Juventus's midfield pressing in the opening round, Camoranesi's right side was very active, and Reese defended him with a focus and did not make any big mistakes.

Liverpool have also been solid in the face of Juventus' first few counter-attacks.

This is the main tone of Yang Cheng's opening, first stabilize, and then slowly pull the rhythm up, fast attack is Liverpool's best way of attacking, blitzkrieg is Liverpool's forte, but these two weapons must be used at the best time.

But just when everyone thought that Liverpool was stabilizing the start, Camoranesi shifted a long lateral pass on the right side.

Cassano stepped forward from the left and as soon as he chested the ball down, Finnan pounced.

Piero, who had been cruising on the left side, was the first to pull outside the penalty area and raised his left hand high.

"Piero area!" Yang Cheng's first reaction was a little surprised, and he immediately shouted at the players on the court, "Look at Piero!" ”

Carragher has also been paying attention to Piero, and he didn't need Yang Cheng to shout at all, he posted it.

The ball came from Cassano's feet to Piero's feet, and after seeing the zebra prince retreat to get the ball, he quickly leaned on Carragher with his back, skillfully dribbled the ball with his right foot, and suddenly made a gesture to dunk the ball, and then accelerated to the middle. ,

The whole process was actually not fast, but his ball control was so good that Carragher couldn't keep up and was shaken out of half a position by him, and under normal circumstances, as long as Piero stopped again, Carragher would be able to catch up. However, after Piero shook off his position, he directly volleyed with his right foot.

The ball obviously drew a beautiful arc, but at this moment, in the eyes of all Liverpudlians, this arc came so suddenly and so deadly.

Reyna did their best to make a save, but the ball almost grazed the angle between the crossbar and the post and into the top right corner of the goal.

At this moment, the entire Ataturk Stadium suddenly fell silent.

The Zebra fans, who were small in number and were suppressed by Liverpool fans after the opening, broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers.

The on-site commentator also pulled out a long voice, "Whatagreatgoalllll!" ”

"Piero zone, Piero once again scored a world-class goal in this area, opening the scoring for Juventus!" The on-site commentator looked extremely excited, "Just 3 minutes and 27 seconds after the opening, Juventus took the lead in scoring a goal, from Piero's world wave!" ”

Reyna got up from the ground and held his hands high, he had done his best, but Piero's shot was so tricky that he was on the left that he couldn't save the curling shot into the top right corner.

'It could have been a game-changing shot, Liverpool started the game well, but it was clear that they were a little caught off guard by Juventus' sudden change in attack, so much so that the defensive centre of gravity was too left-shifting, exposing a gap on the right flank, and Cassano assisted Piero for this brilliant goal.

…………

Yang Cheng covered his mouth with his left hand, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but scold.

In the dressing room before the game, he made demands on the game, warning the players to concentrate 100%, not to make mistakes, and to play at their own pace, and he repeatedly reminded two points, first, a long shot from outside the penalty area; Second, set-pieces!

He has long reminded his players that Piero is a very dangerous player, capable of shooting with both left and right feet, and has been very good at Juventus this season, especially with Trezeguet sharing the defensive pressure for him, and Capello is likely to use him to build attacking tactics.

But as soon as his players got on the field, they threw all his instructions out of the sky.

Yes, Juventus's opening attack was indeed very sudden, but Yang Cheng also mentioned this when he was arranging before, and he asked the players to do not mess up, stabilize the situation and then slowly find the rhythm back.

In a crucial tournament like this, conceding first is extremely dangerous.

"They were too nervous and too eager to score first!" Benitez shook his head and sighed.

It should be said that Juventus' rush was an accident, but the mentality of the players was what led to the goal conceded.

Yang Cheng didn't answer, but he suddenly thought of something even more terrifying, and immediately walked to the sidelines, waving vigorously at the players, especially to Carrick, "Michael, steady, don't attack, stabilize first, don't attack!" ”

He gestured and shouted at Carrick, who could already guess Capello's next move.

I will score first, I will defend and counterattack, you come out to attack, attack desperately, the more you attack, the bigger the hole, the easier it is for me to counterattack, the sharper.

It's a trap, a trap that Juventus put on Liverpool.

"They just want us to attack!" When Yang Cheng came back, he said that he didn't know how many teams he had killed with this tactic, and as long as I was strong enough defensively, I could do it.

…………

…………

"Liverpool is attacking hard, Carrick takes the ball, Appia immediately presses up, squeezes Carrick with his body, the Englishman almost concedes the ball, and immediately passes to Murphy who retreats, oops, the ball is broken, Juventus counterattacks......"

"Yang Cheng looks anxious, he keeps reminding him to be stable, but it looks like Liverpool is a little out of control......"

"Carrick and Drogba are both closely marked, especially Carrick, surrounded by Juventus players, he and Davies are restricted, Liverpool's midfield is completely suppressed, and can only frequently go to the players in front of them through long passes, but Juventus has done a good job in this regard." ,

In the Sutton Bar next to Liverpool's Anfield Stadium, there was a surge of people and Liverpool fans, all of whom were staring at the screen, which showed the time and the score between Liverpool and Juventus, 0:1!

The whole Sutton Bar was quiet, deathly, and everyone was even staring at the screen with bated breath, all waiting for a change, even if it was just a very subtle change.

Will win! We're going to win!

A whistle was heard on the TV screen, and referee Gonzalez blew for a defensive foul on Juventus.

When Zebina was defending Xiao Xiaoluo, a foul after sticking up from behind directly hooked the Portuguese to the ground, and suddenly there was a burst of fan dissatisfaction in the bar.

“****you！”

"CTMD French, dirty French!"

"He should be given a red card and told this guy to get out of here!"

All the fans looked so indignant, staring at the TV screen with wide eyes, and when they saw that the referee just called Zebina over and gave a few warnings, without the slightest intention of giving cards, they suddenly became angry again.

"Did this Spanish turtle grandson take money from Juventus?"

"Did that bastard carry over their Serie A style into the Champions League final?"

"Are they going to continue to kill us again with this biased punishment 20 years later?"

There were a lot of people in the bar, and they all shouted at once.

When they saw Xiao Xiao Luo get up from the turf again, there was a burst of cheers.

"Come on, Liverpool!"

"Don't let them score again, be careful!"

"One goal down, we still have hope!"

Finally got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt, Xiao Xiaoluo's penalty was too sloppy, did not take into account his teammates in the penalty area, and wanted to score the ball directly, but in the end, because the distance was a little far, the ball was directly confiscated by Abbiati.

"It's definitely a big test for Liverpool right now, their attack has obviously lost its dimension, it's completely out of order, it's more about Carrick dropping back to the back and going straight to the front, and their midfield is completely suppressed by Juventus."

"Tacchinati and Appia looked at Davis and Carrick respectively, and Yang Cheng originally wanted to use Murphy to help Carrick groom the midfield, but Murphy obviously doesn't have the ability of Gerrard."

"Carrick's role in the previous Liverpool team was more of a No. 2 passer, that is, the pass before the last pass, for example, his pass was originally to find the front trident, and then they cooperated to make the last pass, but now, Liverpool is under the full-court pressing of Juventus, Carrick's long pass has become the number one assist."

"Long balls have never been a consistent means of assisting, which makes Liverpool's attack look disorganized and full of mistakes, but it is Juventus, who are extremely solid in defense and very effective in pressing tactics throughout the game, Liverpool are suppressed to almost nothingness, and the Bianconeri's counter-attack is very sharp."

At the time of the commentator's analysis, the situation of the game was also evolving rapidly.

To some extent, Liverpool fell into Juventus' strategy, that is, after they fell behind by one goal, the situation lost control, and the players began to want to press hard and get the game back to a draw as soon as possible, which made Liverpool's defense completely exposed to Juventus's counter-attack.

As you can imagine, Liverpool look more powerful compared to one side attacking in a hurry, without any rules, and the other side is camping, defending, and slowly trying to counterattack, but Juventus' counter-attack is more threatening.

But from another point of view, Juventus's rhythm also has to speed up, because Liverpool plays fast, Juventus implements a full-court pressing tactic, they can't be slow, because if you are slow, you will leak people, and there will be loopholes.

It's inevitable that there will be gains and losses, but Juventus' tactics are more right, so they are more threatening.

In the 18th minute, Cassano dribbled forward on the left side, and after picking up a pass in the penalty area and handing it to Trezeguet, he did not stop moving forward, but ran to the front of the penalty area. Trezeguet was pressed by Hyypia in the box, couldn't stop the ball, almost lost it, and had to rush to shoot at goal, Reina lifted the ball up, a corner.

Piero went to the corner and was soon sent away.

In a riotous penalty area, all the Liverpool players were staring at the Juventus players, not daring to be careless, because everyone knew that if it was just a goal, it would be saved, but if there was another one, it would be completely unsaved.

Who would dare to say that they can catch up with Juventus after being 2 goals down?

Yes, there is only one team, Inter Milan!

They trailed by two goals away at Juventus this season, but stubbornly managed to equalise in the second half in what was arguably the best Serie A game of the season, as both teams showed an unrivalled level of football.

But know that Liverpool is not Inter!

"Can't be scored again!"

It's not just the players who are shouting in their hearts, all the fans in Sutton's Bar are shouting in their hearts.

Even many fans simply closed their eyes, gestured their hands on their heads and chests, and prayed that God would bless Liverpool, "We really can't be scored again!" ”

Perhaps, the night in Istanbul obscures their prayers, or perhaps, things in the world are so strange that the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.

When you're all scared of conceding a goal, it happens again.

After Piero's corner kick was taken, it fell directly to the front point, but Thuram, Trezeguet and others were interfering, and Liverpool's players were too close to the Juventus players to move, resulting in a situation where there was no one to defend at the front point.

Finnan, who was guarding in front of the left post, was the first to pounce, but a figure in a black and white line jersey rushed in front of him, facing Pirlo's corner kick that was in excellent position, did not jump, did not need to jump, just stood in place, waited until the ball came to his header, and flicked it gently.

By the time Reyna reacted, the ball had flown into the Liverpool goal!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

The on-site commentator shouted almost frantically, "In the 19th minute, Juventus will go to the next city!" ”

"Oh my God, it's almost a one-sided game, although the two sides of the game are evenly matched from the scene, but Liverpool's defense is so porous under Juventus' attack that it can't withstand Juventus' counterattack."

"0:2, this has undoubtedly pronounced the death sentence of this game, we absolutely can't believe that there is any team in the world that can equalize again when they are two goals behind, especially in such a Champions League final, two goals behind has undoubtedly pronounced Liverpool's death sentence!"

The TV screen showed Yang Cheng on the sidelines, and the Chinese looked helpless.

"This will undoubtedly be the first Champions League final defeat in Yang Cheng's life, and it will be a very painful defeat, he should adjust the team as soon as possible, and he can't continue to let the team go on like this, otherwise, Juventus will score more goals, and it may even turn into a massacre!"

"At the end of the day, Liverpool's players are still too young and inexperienced, and only one of them has experience in a Champions League final, and the rest of the players are either too young or have been in the middle and lower tiers for a long time and lack the experience of this kind of crucial tournament."

"You know, this is a Champions League final worth hundreds of millions of euros in front of billions of fans, a battle between two of the strongest teams in football today, and in this kind of game, it is often the mentality that determines the outcome of the game."

Just when the on-site commentator was analyzing and putting forward suggestions, he saw the goal hero Cassano running in the direction of Yang Cheng. 【Sailing small also provides】
