Chapter 1348 Liverpool (6)
PS1: This is an update on Tuesday, a little late. I hope that all book friends don’t care too much about the update time. I’ll guarantee that I will not stop updating...
PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.
Not to mention Benitez, who was very pleased with his performance in Liverpool's sidelines, as Liverpool players' form collectively recovered, the Fiorente players who held the initiative began to feel some pressure, and their offense became less smooth as before. At the same time, the number of mistakes made between players and large-scale transfers has also increased a lot under the active pressure and pressing of Liverpool players, giving the opponent several opportunities to counterattack quickly.
Especially Arteta, the Spanish midfielder has a good overall view and pass awareness. In this game, he managed Fiorentina's midfield in an orderly manner and sent several extremely threatening passes to his teammates in front. It was impossible to see what the media and fans called it a parallel. However, as Liverpool gradually regained the rhythm of the game and strengthened the pressing of the Fiorentina midfielder, Arteta's shortcomings in physical confrontation and lack of experience in the competition began to gradually reveal.
Mourinho naturally would not ignore Arteta's performance of playing more and more struggling under Liverpool pressure. In other words, after Arteta was repeatedly stolen by Liverpool players and passed the ball, the Portuguese immediately used the last substitution in his hand - Arteta came out, and the replacement was Fiorentina's number one ace in the midfield Andre Pirlo!
Although Pirlo's appearance successfully helped Fiorentina stabilize its position, and at the same time greatly reduced the pass error rate and reduced the chance of being directly counterattacked by the opponent, with the increasingly powerful momentum of Liverpool players and the increasingly active pressing, mistakes were inevitable. This made a crack in Florence's originally impregnable defense line.
In the 79th minute of the game, De Rossi's pass to Zanbrotta was intercepted by Riser in the middle of the fight, and used continuous large-scale transfers to pull Fiorentina's defense line in the counterattack, trying to make it difficult for the opponent to find the focus of the defense in this way. Immediately afterwards, although Luis Garcia was blocked by Carlos when crossing, the ball did not bounce out of the sideline, but returned to Garcia's feet, and Espanyol immediately made a cross again!
Gerald, who was inserted into the penalty area, jumped high with his body inertia and directly shot ten meters in front of Lucio!
After Gerald's shot was inserted, the shot was strong and the angle was extremely tricky. Even Buffon was as strong as he was, he felt powerless about this header. So the ball successfully crossed Buffon's palm and fell into the far corner of the goal. The score on the field became one-to-two, and Liverpool won a goal back!
"...It's not going well." Looking at Gerald, who rushed into the goal without any intention of celebrating the goal, picked up the ball and ran into the middle of the court, and other Liverpool players who were in a very consistent pace, Mourinho's expression gradually became serious. "It was such a mistake. I didn't expect that Liverpool could still have such a strong counterattack in such a dilemma. If I had known this, Danielle (De Rossi) and others should have interrupted Liverpool's rhythm with one or two fierce tactical fouls, so as not to let them take the initiative so easily."
Although momentum sounds a bit mysterious, this thing plays a very important role in football fields. For example, now, with the increasing momentum of Liverpool players, Fiorentina, which is stronger, has been forced to make frequent mistakes by the Reds on the court, and has to choose to retreat to avoid the edge for the time being.
In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, AC Milan lost its original huge lead in the two nerve knife teams, Laco and Liverpool, and was thus accomplished a heart-warming Jedi reversal by the opponent. Although there are factors that the players' decline in their third-line combat state, the momentum that these two teams showed far surpass AC Milan in the game is also the key to their final turnaround.
Once a team has shown momentum in the game and the opponent does not choose to interrupt or suppress it for a while, the more powerful side will often burst out with combat power beyond the conventional level, thus bringing the game to a completely unknown path.
Sure enough, as Mourinho was worried. Gerrard's header shot greatly boosted the morale of Liverpool. In the following game, the Reds played extremely high levels on both offense and defense, and even Fiorentina was temporarily suppressed by them for a while!
After Gerald scored, Liverpool scored six shots in just five minutes. On average, Buffon's goalkeeping skills and concentration in the game were tested, making the world's number one goalkeeper in a mess.
Regarding the extremely passive situation in front of him, Nesta and Lucio can only say that they have tried their best. It can only be said that Liverpool's shooting during this period is too unreasonable and their luck is too outrageous. They can still shoot a shot with excellent angle and speed even though they blocked most of the angles, which makes Nesta and others unable to do anything about it.
However, just when the Liverpool saw a glimmer of hope for a comeback, Ronaldo, who had already scored a goal in this game, stood up again and kicked the Reds back into the abyss of the Champions League. In the 89th minute of the game, the superstar, who is currently popular in European football, received a tactical corner kick from Pirlo at the corner of the penalty area and first took two steps horizontally along the penalty area line, then swung his right foot to shoot the goal far corner!
The ball turned out a wonderful arc with a strong rotation, and passed by Harman and Henkz one after another, and headed straight for Liverpool's goal!
Dudek, who was guarding the goal, had his eyes blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area, so when the Poles found that the ball was flying towards the goal he was guarding, there was no time enough for him to make a save...
"The ball is scored! The goal is Cristiano Ronaldo! The Portuguese young player kicked a wonderful arc goal on the penalty area line, helping Fiorentina completely secure the victory!"
