Liverpool-Atl.Madrid Champions League 11.03.2020

Overflowing Anfield is looking to reverse one goal minus.
Liverpool haven’t been impressing lately, even in those rare matches he’s won (West Ham, Bournemouth). He'll run into a lot of problems if he scores one goal from Atletico at Anfield.
On Wednesday, we will find out in the right scene what the current state of Liverpool is. If this match was played a month ago then we would know what to expect from the current European champion and absolute Premier League ruler this season, but today such is quite debatable.
What “had to” happened and happened. Liverpool have entered the worst phase of the season and lost 3/5 of their last games. Even those two wins were very happy and unconvincing (home runs 3-2 against West Ham and 2-1 against Bournemouth).
The series, which Liverpool are not used to, has just started with the first match of the eighth Champions League final in Madrid (defeating Atletico 0-1). If we ignore the League Cup match against Aston Villa (when represented by Liverpool), it was the first game since the defeat at Napoli (0-2, mid-September) in which Klopp's team did not score. True, in the final of the club SP in 90 minutes, Liverpool did not score even Flameng (0-0), but it was in overtime.
And after Madrid, two more such matches have taken place (0-3 at Watford and 0-2 at Chelsea) and we can no longer speak of the coincidence and irrelevant losses of Liverpool.
The 1-0 result is very dangerous and deceptive, especially for Liverpool, who run into double problems if they score at Anfield, because in that case they have to score three to get through. He scored for Liverpool last season and four for Barcelona, ​​but it's not that Atletico's defense often receives so many goals.

  • So far we have not received any recommendation from Uefa which means we are playing in front of our fans. And that is our great advantage. Often, fans have led us to success, we do not know how to play badly. We looked through all the details from the first game. Today, we are more prepared for a duel against Atletico and I know that my players have learned the Madrid lesson - announced the trial of Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp, whose small discomfort is created by the fact that he will not be able to defend the first goalkeeper Alisson.
    Despite the amplitudes in form over the course of the season, Atletico is likely to meet a permanent club goal this time around, which is among the four best Spanish teams. In the earlier years, when Atletico was much stronger, he could not cope with Real Madrid and Barcelona for long periods, so even this season probably no one sees this as a tragic case.
    But in the Champions League, tournament type professor Diego Simeone could again do anything. For example, to kick off the current champion at the start. In his last six appearances Atletico have not lost (3-3-0), and it should be recalled that his fierce and strong defense in the first duel minimized the danger on all sides of Liverpool. In those 90 minutes not a single shot went within the gates of Atletic's goalkeeper Cloud.
    It is very difficult to expect another such match, but Atletico at least at this point can reasonably expect that his attack will have more freedom and space. After all, recently Bournemouth players have come out three or four times before Adrian and threaten Liverpool. All this (and better) can be repeated by Morata, Joao Felix, Correa, Diego Costa…
    In his last six appearances, Atletico has scored at least a goal in the game, and in his last five appearances he has averaged nearly two goals per game (nine goals), a big figure for Atletico.
  • It would not be fair for Liverpool to play without a spectator. I like it very much, it is wonderful to feel fans and even rivals. I'm not going to tell you tactics, the game on the field will talk. But we have a plan. And I feel we will have plenty of opportunities in the counters. Morata? It's not in perfect condition, but there it is , ”Atletico coach Diego Simeone said before the test.
