It should be a spectacle, an event. It should show, what a intoxicating force of Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp. And then? Then Anfield is as quiet as hardly, and at the end of this game, this first leg of the eighth final of the Champions League between Liverpool and Bayern Munich, the only result that is rightfully his. The 0:0 expresses how dull is the entertainment.
Two hours previously, Anfield, legendary, transfigured, according to. The reputation of this wonderful stadium of Liverpool, and who is “You’ll never walk alone” never been here or heard of on a European Cup night, has missed something. For the Match this Tuesday Jürgen Klopp would do anything to buy a Ticket, if he were a neutral observer, and that would have been necessary.
But the Kop is silent, and Anfield is not alive. Liverpool against Bayern, this eighth final between two sizes of the European football , holds at any Moment, what he has promised, neither before nor after the break. The two respect for each other, is at any Moment perceptible, is hardly the game has begun. Bayern are afraid of the power and force that can develop Liverpool thanks to Salah, Firmino and Mané. The hosts fear an enemy, the means for all the talk of Crisis still Bayern and still very much experience. If Bayern would complain about the problems, has to be Liverpool’s coach said Klopp on the day before, then you would do that at a high level.
Twice Mané,
The Munich-based the game does not determine, but they shape it with their tactics to throttle any Tempo, and to offer Liverpool’s explosive trio no opportunity to develop. That you keep the Ball primarily on the Defensive, makes it not attractive, but it is effective, at least from the point of view of the guests.
What is the Leader of the Premier League and the Second League to provide entertainment is very poor. The big moments are quickly retold. Salah, of the highly acclaimed, and Firmino also no. The most Striking thing in the front row is still Sadio Mané, with the Senegalese. Once he clears from 15 yards, once he forgives out of a few meters, it is the best opportunity ever for his team.
However, there are often also other scenes such as those of Robertson. As the tempestuous left-back has finally once in place, he strikes the edge so that it flies to the other side. It is one of those moments that is typical of the lack of precision in the Liverpool Offensive.
The Bayern after the break, nothing different than before. You do everything, to risk nothing, and if you do, then, is not intention, but rather from sloppiness in their pass game in the own half. Klopp is an attempt from the side line, his team’s drive, you can’t satisfy your boss. It is not in the approach is capable to develop the momentum which it has made under the guidance of German coach, at least in their own stadium to an attraction.
Serious shots on goal after the break? Zero. Opportunities? Zero.
in Bavaria, a large wage
Alexander-Arnold, and Robertson are not the most offensively effective defender, you are so often. From midfield out Wijnaldum developed no risk. And the three in the front, your reputation does not do justice to. 91 goals you achieved last season, 44 in 99 inserts are now, the Numbers stand in stark contrast to their performance in this increasingly rainy evening.
The Bavarians are satisfied with how it works. A 1:1 wanted your President Uli Hoeness as the Basis for the return game. The draw is there. More is not for you, because you need to do in the first half, to little and only have a Chance, as Matip shoots his own goalkeeper Alisson from five metres. And because you need to do in the second, nothing more. They occur as a small team, and large will be rewarded. (Tages-Anzeiger)
