Adrian’s Blunder Resulted in Liverpool’s Defeat
By db-admin
DBasia.news – Adrian became the target of anger for Liverpool fans after failing to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Hosting Atletico Madrid at Anfield, Thursday (12/03) AM WIB the goal was broken three times by the visitors.
The defeat was surprising. As Liverpool were able to master the game for 120 minutes. However, Jan Oblak’s strong defense and slick performance in the stronghold of Atletico Madrid has made them only able to score two goals.
In contrast, Los Rojiblancos who played more sporadically were actually able to win the match. Uniquely, the three goals scored by Diego Simeone’s players came from only six shots on goal. This is very different from the host who fired 14 shots.
The effectiveness of Atletico’s game cannot be separated from Adrian’s poor performance as a Liverpool goalkeeper. The first goal scored by Marcos Llorente began with his blunder.
The goalkeeper who wanted to throw the ball instead sent the ball to the opposing player. Joao Felix, who received an overflow ball from Adrian, finally sent a pass to Llorente to cut back to 1-2.
This fatal mistake was enough to confirm the fact that Liverpool are the team whose goalkeepers have made the most blunders since the 2017/18 season. Adrian fulfilled the blunder previously made by Loris Karius that season.
Yes, Loris Karius has made three blunders in the 2017/18 Champions League. And the most embarrassing of course were the two fatal mistakes in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
