Can Liverpool's squad really restrain Barcelona?

I'm glad to answer this question. The semi-final of the Champions League will start at 03:00 am on May 2, Beijing time, and the first leg will be held at Camp Nou in Barcelona.

Discuss the basic information and then analyze the technical and tactical play of the two teams. In fact, I have answered similar questions two days ago, because the two teams basically represent two different styles of hand-to-hand combat in today's football. One is Barcelona's typical pass control, focusing on ball control. Not only does it have beautiful offensive cooperation, but it also occupies a lot of ball rights in defense, reducing the time for the opponent to take the ball. Liverpool is a typical defensive counter-attack, trading speed for space, paying attention to the unbreakable fighting style in the world, and it is very passionate.

As far as the problem is concerned, Liverpool's lineup or Liverpool's style of play will indeed contain Barcelona.

Barcelona's pass and control is point-to-point and there are always at least three people in the local area who can solve the problem of the ball. The most important thing is that once Barcelona enters healthy football, it is the most dangerous time, always ready to start a fatal blow. The sudden insertion in the back row and the insertion between the ribs of the opposing central defender and winger are their killer weapons. The foreplay is long enough and should be stronger than most men.

But why should Liverpool restrain Barcelona?

Or because of the speed.

It seems that Barcelona has laid a big net. Anyway, everyone knows who kicked it, but Liverpool's quickness is like a dagger, and it has the ability to tear such a big net at a certain point, which means to cut the gordian knot. Moreover, Barcelona's midfielders busquets, Rakitic and Artur are not fast players, so they will be under great pressure in the face of this constant sprint.

And klopp should know very well that he will never give Barcelona a comfortable chance to get the ball, and he will definitely oppress Barcelona's backcourt with high-level defense, which is crucial.

Because once Barcelona passes the ball easily, the opponent will start to suffer. This is a constant law for many times.

I think that Liverpool want to maintain a high-pressure situation, and they still have great physical requirements. This is not something that ordinary teams can do, but at least people like Robertson, Arnold and Milner should be fine, especially these two full-backs. It is difficult to find a second full-back who can assist like Liverpool in the five major leagues, and it is still two.

This is a great defensive pressure on Alba and Roberto (Thermado), so 45 bombing will not be listened to, and you can sprint from the first minute to the last minute.

However, since Barcelona is the best team in the world, it has its own way. At present, no team can completely block Barcelona's pass and control tactics. You know, even if Benzema defends Pique in the small restricted area, President Pi can take his time in front of Terstengen. These players are used to each other's high defense.

But personally, I am optimistic that Barcelona can win the big ear cup!

Glad to answer your question!

Liverpool's paper strength is not really top-notch, but the team's running and blasting style looks lively, energetic and passionate.

Give people a strong illusion.

But in fact, Liverpool's lineup, coupled with their offensive style, may really have no chance to win Barcelona.

Barcelona is not afraid of this kind of play that relies on the striker's speed to repeatedly impact.

Let's see why Barcelona has an advantage over Liverpool:

Midfielder's control of Liverpool's trident requires midfielders to send shells. If the midfield is controlled by the opponent, it is like being controlled by the opponent and tying his hands.

Liverpool midfielder Henderson, Keita and Vijay Nardoux, Barcelona midfielder Rakitic, busquets and Artur.

Regardless of technology, passing or tacit understanding, Barcelona is one level higher than Liverpool, not to mention Messi will often return to the midfield to help organize.

Let's take Manchester City as an example. When Manchester City controls the midfield, Liverpool players' attackers can't play a role. This season, the record of the two teams is Manchester City 1 win 1 draw.

It is conceivable that the ball will fall back and forth at the feet of Barcelona players, and Liverpool players will only be exhausted. In this case, Liverpool's trident may be useless.

Speed advantage Some people may think that Liverpool has a speed advantage, and they can use the speed advantage of the three strikers to attack Barcelona's defense line by counterattack.

Barcelona's old rival Real Madrid in La Liga is also a master of defensive counterattack. Cristiano Ronaldo and Bell are extremely fast players, as well as midfielders like modric and Cross, who still can't effectively fight back against Barcelona.

Because Barcelona's on-the-spot counterattack will quickly surround the opponent's passing line, and the ball can't be easily transported forward. Moreover, Barcelona's full-backs Alba and Thur Mador are both fast players.

So Liverpool's speed may not be dominant.

Messi's powerful Premier League team is Messi's favorite. At the same time, Barcelona have played against Premier League teams four times this season, with a record of three wins, 1.

Now, among the Liverpool defenders, whether it is Van Dyke or Matip, meeting Messi is basically surrender.

Players with similar styles to Van Dyke, such as Bayern's boateng and Real Madrid's Ramos, are basically helpless in the face of Messi.

So Liverpool may need multiple teams to defend Messi. At this time, more opportunities will be left to Suarez or Dembele, and the Liverpool defense will be ignored.

Therefore, it is only imagination that Liverpool will be very lively when they meet Barcelona.

But the ending has actually been announced!

Now no team in the world can restrain Barcelona's ingrained passing and possession. After Dembele paid, the counterattack speed is no longer a short board. Barcelona's midfield is unmatched by Liverpool, what's more, this team has Messi who can play 1 N at any time.

In the past few seasons, Liverpool were basically oppressed by high positions. During that time, it was easy to get out of control by grabbing people crazily in the second half. However, with the joining of Fan Dike and Aresen, Liverpool's defense line has gradually stabilized, and the team has lost a lot of oppression and looting from high positions, and its playing style has gradually matured. The offensive end relies on constant transposition, creating more catching points in the middle and front court, creating the imbalance of the opponent's defense and breaking the gap.

As far as the lineup is concerned, Barcelona is better than Liverpool, but it's only a matter of seconds for players to win or lose. I don't think it's meaningful to analyze this group of confrontation from a tactical point of view. Both teams have the ability to make the final decision, and improvisation will determine the fate of both teams.

Barcelona has a certain disadvantage. Liverpool are unbeaten at home in the Champions League and League this season. Once you don't win at home, it's hard to win Liverpool away.

Liverpool's squad really can't say "restrain Barcelona". As we all know, since Barcelona was called "Cosmos Team", it was Mourinho who really threatened Barcelona. Mourinho was born in Barcelona, and he followed two famous coaches, Robson and Fan Jiaer. As a coach assistant, he has also trained players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Guardiola, and he has a very accurate understanding of Barcelona's "Tikitaka" style of play.

In the summer of 2008, Barcelona made a choice between Mourinho, a veteran powerhouse, and Guardiola, the coach of the second team, and finally chose Guardiola. In order to retaliate against Barcelona, Mourinho made a strategy of "defensive counterattack+constant foul" after in-depth research. This strategy has experienced the baptism of Inter Milan and Real Madrid, and has long been famous.

Barcelona football has two shortcomings:

First, height. The average height of Barcelona is much lower. The lineup of Dream III, such as Harvey, Iniesta, Pedro, Mascherano, Messi and others; At present, Messi, Coutinho, Artur, Alba and others, as well as busquets, Dembele, Roberto and others are relatively thin, and the high-altitude ball is not dominant.

Second, after the full attack, the backcourt was empty.

Barcelona advocates all football. When besieging the opponent, the goalkeeper was in the penalty area, and only one defender was left in the second half. It used to be Mascherano, but now it's Alba, Roberto or Longoria. At this time, the whole backcourt was empty. Therefore, Mourinho adopted the tactics of "defensive counterattack+constant foul". The constant foul is to make Barcelona's attack discontinuous. As long as Barcelona's attack is discontinuous, the probability of losing the ball is relatively high. Then there are several fast horses in the frontcourt, such as Cristiano Ronaldo or Benzema, who quickly reach the vicinity of the penalty area when they fight back.

Other "defensive counter-attack" teams can't beat Barcelona because they are not as strong as Real Madrid or Inter Milan and have not learned the essence of Mourinho.

As far as Liverpool is concerned, it can actually be said to be an upgraded version of Dortmund and Tottenham. Liverpool is a big-spending and attacking team, but it also makes the backcourt empty. Only this season, the performances of goalkeeper Aresen and defender Fan Dike are obvious to all, resulting in a lot of "offensive and defensive balance".

However, you have Aresen and I have plum ball king; You have Fan Dike, and I have the king of fragrant pills. You say Liverpool's shield is thick, but Barcelona's spear is also very good. In addition, there are two offensive weapons in Barcelona's lineup, Suarez and Coutinho, who are familiar with Liverpool's style of play. Last season, Liverpool also reached the final with great momentum-at that time, many people bet on Liverpool because of its "offensive tide", and the result was terrible.

For Real Madrid and Barcelona, the lack of skills in the Premier League team is a very big defect, and coupled with lack of experience, it is likely to be eliminated.

Nothing is impossible in the football world! In fact, I personally think Liverpool's paper strength is not bad, although it is a little weaker than Barcelona.

Barcelona's advantage is that it won the championship early, and now it can relax and prepare for the Champions League, while Liverpool dare not take it lightly on both fronts. The league must hold on to Manchester City, or even losing a point will lose the championship, so from this perspective, Liverpool is at a disadvantage.

However, in fact, the teams that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League are not weak teams, and no one dares to say who will eat who! Barcelona/kloc beat Chelsea 0-0 and won the championship. Who can say for sure? Yes!

In this semi-final, Barcelona played at home. Liverpool actually has some advantages. After all, it is away. It's best to score a goal, but a draw will be fine. Back at Liverpool's home, the strength of Liverpool players will be by going up one flight of stairs, and it is not surprising to win Barcelona!

To say whether the Liverpool lineup restrains Barcelona, in fact, I think it is better to say that it is checks and balances.

If Liverpool's frontcourt trident is crazy, its power should not be underestimated. Manet and Salah's speed and dexterity can make use of Pique, a tall center, and firmino's ability to take the ball as a ball is not bad. Moreover, Fan Dike, the world's No.1 central defender, is in charge of the Liverpool defence, and his defensive hardness has improved a lot. Defending Suarez is no problem, it depends on how to defend Messi.

In fact, Messi is almost impossible to prevent in Barcelona, but I think Barcelona's defense is not as stable as Liverpool's. In fact, a big defender like Pique is a bit disadvantaged in the face of small, flexible and fast forwards like Salah and Manet. Our King Wu also made many risks in Gatsby before, so I believe Liverpool has a good chance.

Looking back on Messi's scoring record against Premier League teams, it's actually scary. At present, he has scored 24 goals, so it is very important to guard against Messi!

Messi's goal record against Premier League teams;

1, Arsenal 9 goals

2, Manchester City 6 goals

3, Manchester United 4 goals

4, Chelsea 3 goals

Tottenham scored two goals.

Maybe many people are not optimistic about Liverpool, but if Liverpool can score a goal away from home in this game, I think there is a great chance to eliminate Barcelona at home. We'll wait and see, hoping not to hit the face! Hey hey. . .

Typing is not easy, brothers like to pay attention to Liverpool, and when they meet Barcelona, they are basically big packages. People who don't pay much attention to Liverpool or Barcelona on weekdays will believe this strange statement of restraint.

There is no need to compare others. Is the combination of Messi, Suarez and Coutinho comparable to Salah, Mane and firmino?

Liverpool can only play in the group stage, and the strength of those teams that fight alone, such as Bayern Porto and Porto, has also dropped like an avalanche. In both games, the ball basically flew in the sky.

More interestingly, Ollie also went into battle. In fact, this guy played well when he was on loan in the Bundesliga, and he can only be a reserve force in the Red Army.

This is interesting: Liverpool's lineup began to have problems, while Barcelona was still full.

The most important thing is that Liverpool is still busy competing for the title, and Barcelona's title competition has been basically stable. What kind of league klopp wants, the Champions League, depends on the club's budget.

In recent years, it is difficult for the Premier League to have an advantage in La Liga. One is the gap between players, and the other is the Premier League routine of simply pursuing fast balls. Do nothing in front of the top three in the West Super League with slow possession, steady progress and low mistakes.

It's good that Barcelona can't win Liverpool. I don't know if this lineup can win Barcelona.

The semi-final of the two teams can be said to be a preview of the final. Who made it to the championship? However, everything is based on strength, except the overall state of the team and players on the spot, the pertinence of the head coach's technical and tactical arrangements, and some luck factors. Barcelona just do their best, don't underestimate the enemy, don't care, play their skills normally, have the right tactics, play the battle of Tianwangshan at home, and strive to establish the promotion advantage in the first round. Don't make mistakes easily. The second battle at Anfield should be a bitter one. Boss Mei confronts the Red Arrow Three Heroes, and the realistic version of the Three English Wars Lu Bu; Whether Fan Dike can stop the flea from dying is also a test of whether his quality as the world's first central defender is worthy of the name. I hope Messi will come to earth again, dominate the game, win Liverpool, win the golden boots, win the Champions League and hold the golden ball!

Barcelona's passing and controlling style likes to play with offensive teams best. At that time, Mourinho defeated Barcelona by bus tactics in the later period of Inter Milan and Real Madrid. Liverpool, as a representative of attacking football, is now playing smoothly in the frontcourt with great pressure, and the full-back is pressing for assists and tridents. However, there are obvious loopholes in the defensive end, and it is basically impossible for Liverpool's lineup to restrain Barcelona. 20 minutes before the start of the game, it is hard to say how practical it is to rob 15 at the expense of physical strength and disturb Barcelona's position. After all, Barcelona's personal footwork technique is not covered. Defensive counterattack is still Liverpool's best choice.

Watching Barcelona's game is always a walk. Do you really think the Champions League is as tight as you think? When the time comes, you will be forced by our army for 20 minutes, and you will go by yourself in the next 100 minutes! Barcelona is dying! If you want speed without speed, you will forcibly grab the whole collapse when you encounter the whole! Such a team is still optimistic, and it is the time to be beaten in the face every year. Do so many people still live in the past?

There are no restrictions between Liverpool and Barcelona. Liverpool are good at high pressure and Barcelona are good at controlling the ball. Between them, it is a contest between possession and oppression. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, depending on whether Liverpool's oppression constrains Barcelona's ball control or Barcelona's ball control breaks Liverpool's oppression. Relatively speaking, I am still optimistic that Barcelona's ball control will overwhelm Liverpool's oppression. In recent years, the only one who successfully restrained Barcelona's possession with oppression was Bayern of Heinx with 20 13, but now Bayern is old.
