Chapter 705 Suspense in the second round

Judging from the results alone, the score of 3 is very beneficial to Liverpool and very unfavorable to Fiorentina. After Liverpool's home court, Liverpool can advance as long as it does not play a draw above 44. Since it is almost impossible to play 44, it can even be said that as long as it draws, Liverpool can advance.

But if you watch the game, any Liverpool person has reason to be dissatisfied with the result, because when the game reached RU minutes, Liverpool still led by 3:1, but the result turned into a draw. Just imagine if the final result was L, Liverpool basically advanced, and they could do their best to deal with their league opponent Arsenal. Now, it is hard to say who advances. With the Italian team's defensive counterattack ability, it is not impossible for them to get 0 away. Liverpool has to be distracted by the Champions League and the league, and if they are not careful, they may regret it.

After the game, Benitez was very dissatisfied and was simply angry. In Benitez's opinion, it is not a big mistake to replace Chen Yu with ten minutes left, because even without Chen Yu, Liverpool also has England international Crouch and Wales international Bellamy, and he would not concede two goals in ten minutes of defensive counterattack. Benitez believes that this is completely the result of the players' slackness and relaxation.

At the post-match press conference, Benitez criticized all players except Chen Yu very harshly.

"In this 90-minute game, we were perfect in 70 minutes. We did a great job on both ends of the offense and defense, but we did a very bad job in the last 10 minutes of the first and second half. We couldn't concentrate in the end, and we were lazy after leading the big score. This is a fatal bad habit. If we can't change this, it will be difficult for us to win the final championship. For the defending players, you can't neglect a minute or a second in a game. It is very likely that the teammates' efforts will be in a game.

The strength will be ruined by your negligence in this minute. Apart from Chen Yu, our forwards were not good enough today. They did not create a threat to their opponents in the last ten minutes, allowing their opponents to attack unscrupulously, and eventually caused two goals to concede. As a team that is determined to win, every player needs to maintain his best form and every player must play a role on the court, so that we can realize our dreams. Although Chen Yu has extraordinary abilities, we cannot rely solely on him to win the game."

Benitez also praised Chen Yu separately, saying: "Chen Yu took charge of all three of our goals, which is his 9th goal in four Champions League games. Chen Yu's efficiency is amazing. He is the best signing in Liverpool history and he is also our biggest bargaining chip for the championship. I am very lucky. Chen Yu belongs to Liverpool today. If Chen Yu is still playing in Fiorentina, the final result is really hard to say. For such a genius, I can only let him rest well. We still have a lot of time."

As the best player in the team and the focus player, Chen Yu also attended the post-match press conference. At the press conference, Chen Yu expressed his gratitude to the fans of his old club, "This is the first time I have come to Frankie Stadium to play games on behalf of other teams. I am sorry for the fans of Florence when I left. I didn't expect that after I arrived, I would like to welcome me with applause and welcome. I will never forget my affection for them."

Chen Yu was both happy and sad for Fiorentina for his performance in this game. He said: "I thought about scoring goals, but I didn't expect to score three goals. Facing a team that we are very familiar with, facing Italian-style defense, it is difficult to score a hat trick. However, this stadium still seems to like me and gave me a chance to score three times. However, it is not a pleasant thing to break through the goal of my original team. If Liverpool can ensure that they reach the semi-finals, I would rather not score."

Chen Yu was also asked by reporters about his original teammate's performance. Chen Yu naturally praised his former teammates, "Luca Tony is a great center forward. He is very comprehensive. Both goals are very important. When I left, I believed that he could lead Fiorentina to continue to be brilliant. Pacini grew up very quickly. He has the ability to decide the game. Montolivo has a broad vision and extraordinary creativity. However, his main task today is to defend me. His offensive talent has not been fully utilized. Otherwise, you will see a better Montolivo..."

Since Milan midfielder Kaka only scored one goal in another game, Chen Yu has left the Brazilian's two goals to dominate the scorer list. The reporter must ask Chen Yu if he is confident of winning the Champions League top scorer, and even breaking the highest goal record in a single season in the Champions League.

Chen Yu didn't take this seriously. He said that the team's victory and promotion is the most important thing. As for the best scorer, it would be better if he couldn't help but win. He fought for the team's victory on the court.

On the first day of the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, the wind blew strongly, Liverpool and Fiorentina drew 3, and Milan and Bayern, who played at home, also tied.

Although the result was a draw, the two games were very intense. Fiorentina and Bayern Munich equalized the score at the last moment, while Milan and Liverpool also lost the good game in the last minute. The game was very intense.

Faced with such a result, the Italian media must be very dissatisfied. "Milan Sports" claimed that the Serie A team has almost been eliminated from the semi-finals because they have won so many away goals by their opponents at home, so it is definitely even harder to play away. Bayern and Liverpool are both teams with tough playing styles. They both performed well when they faced head-on. It is too difficult to make them get upset at home.

A reporter from "Milan Sports" believes that Milan still has a little hope. After all, AC Milan is slightly stronger than Bayern, and Milan's tactics are more mature and there are more stars. Once Bayern hopes to win away, Milan may use their best defensive counterattack to defeat Bayern. However, "Milan Sports" is not optimistic about Fiorentina's promotion. The reporter believes that it is good that Fiorentina can play this step after losing Chen Yu. It is definitely not easy to enter the semi-finals. With Benitez's conservative character, he will definitely defend and counterattack in the next game. With Liverpool's defensive strength and Chen Yu's speed and efficiency when counterattacking, Fiorentina has no chance to play at all.

Another authoritative sports media, "Roman Sports", also holds a similar view to "Roman Sports Milan", believing that AC Milan may still have a 40% chance of winning, and Fiorentina has basically been eliminated. It would be normal if there is no Italian team in the final four.

Both media also focused on Chen Yu. They both thought that it was a mistake to let Florence go. Now Chen Yu taught Florence a lesson face to face. Although Chen Yu did not celebrate, his performance on the court had already slapped Florence's management three times.

The Republican newspaper believes that although Tony is also very good and scored a goal in the game with Liverpool, there is still a certain gap compared to Chen Yu. Even if Chen Yu did not end up early, Tony would probably not have hope of scoring the second goal.

The English media are full of regrets. They believe that Liverpool's loss in the last moment may be a pit for them, because Liverpool still has to play Arsenal in the league. If they are distracted or retained due to the Champions League, they may not necessarily win Arsenal. Now Liverpool is still chasing Manchester United in the league, and they cannot lose a single point. Once they are forced to win by Arsenal, they will almost be inseparable from the league championship.

The Times said: "Liverpool's promotion is definitely not a big problem. It's just that they could have solved the problem in one game. Without consuming much energy and energy, they have now become two hard battles. This is definitely a defeat for Benitez. If he kept Chen Yu on the court at the last moment, Fiorentina would not have been able to score two goals in a row. And other Liverpool strikers are also a hidden danger for Liverpool when playing against strong teams. If Crouch, Bellamy and Kuyt cannot stand up and rely on Chen Yu alone, they will encounter difficulties in the semi-finals, because at that time they are very likely to encounter Chelsea. With Mourinho's defense, Chen Yu will definitely be defended like a cage. If other forwards cannot restrain Chen Yu's strength, Liverpool may stop from now on."

The Sun believes that Liverpool was a little careless in the last moment and lost a good situation. However, The Sun believes that this has nothing to do with the overall situation. At Fiorentina's home court, Liverpool played a high-level game. Back to the terrifying Anfield, Fiorentina could not cause any trouble for Liverpool. As long as Liverpool performs normally, they can easily defeat Fiorentina to advance to the semi-finals. The test for Liverpool should be Chelsea or Valencia, the opponents of the semi-finals should be Chelsea or Valencia.

The German media are undoubtedly very excited, because Bayern lost almost all encounters Milan before. Now Bayern has gotten two away goals at Milan's home court, which is almost equivalent to a small victory. Especially Van Biden's last minute goal has increased morale. Biography believes that if this continues, Bayern eliminates Milan and advances to the semi-finals will be more than 70%. However, Bayern must not be careless. As the Champions League winner, they have strong Champions League combat capabilities. Once Bayern is not perfect at home, Milan may get a chance.

On the first match of the Champions League, Serie A and Bundesliga, and Premier League matches, although Serie A was slightly at a disadvantage, the two draws still gave four teams a chance.

On the second match, in the Premier League and La Liga, many people think that Manchester United and Chelsea, which are in full swing, will easily win, but unexpectedly, Chelsea, who plays at home, are tied by Valencia, and Manchester United is actually defeated by Eindhoven of the Eredivisie.
