If the attention of fans all over the world was attracted to the Champions League on April 1st, at least two-thirds of the attention was to the match between Bayern and AC Milan in Munich, and only 30% of the fans and media were concerned about Liverpool and Fiorentina.

In the first leg of the quarterfinals, Bayern tied with Milan away, and Liverpool tied with Fiorentina away. Although the situations of the four teams seem to be very similar, because Liverpool's strength is higher than that of Fiorentina, and Bayern and Milan are equal in strength, it is basically no problem for Liverpool to advance, while Bayern and Milan are definitely in a fierce battle. It is hard to say who will win. In addition to the strong appeal of Milan and Bayern, fans and media are paying more attention to this game.

Other fans are paying attention to the match between Milan and Bayern because of suspense, while Liverpool and Fiorentina fans put all their thoughts on the match between Florence and Liverpool.

Before six o'clock in the evening, the stands of the famous Anfield Stadium were already full. Liverpool hard-core fans dressed Anfield in Hell Stadium with banners and slogans, as if they were about to celebrate the New Year and the festival. Some fans even hid some fireworks into the stadium just for the celebration after the victory.

The commentator on the scene also arrived at the stadium early. He was in a particularly relaxed mood today because he had enough confidence in Liverpool's promotion.

"...The game is about to begin. Everyone knows the result of the last game. Three to three, Chen Yu won three goals alone and scored a hat trick. Unfortunately, the defense line was not very strong, and he was tied by Fiorentina in the end. Otherwise, there would be no need to play in the second game. Even if Fiorentina barely equalized the score in the first game, they would definitely not be able to pass this level now, because this is Anfield..."

The commentator said this was when Anfield was full of fanaticism and reverence. Anfield was like a magic spell that could make people excited, confident and even crazy.

In fact, when the Fiorentina players walked onto the stadium from the locker room, the words "This is Anfield" written in the passage brought great psychological pressure to the Fiorentina players. They felt the domineering spirit of a brand-name giant like Liverpool and were full of doubts about whether they could defeat Anfield Stadium.

When the Fiorentine players and Liverpool players came out of the mixing passage with caddies, a thunderous cheer sounded in their ears. The loud voice made the Fiorentine players who were used to seeing big scenes lose their luster. Compared with the Frankie Stadium, Anfield Stadium is much bigger and there are many fans. The momentum is so great that it is difficult for Frankie Stadium to match.

Of course, Liverpool players have no strange feelings. In addition to joy, there is also a little excitement. Every time at this moment, they will feel proud to be a part of Liverpool. Here, they have maintained a season-long unbeaten record, and now, this unbeaten record seems to continue. Every Liverpool player has enough confidence in this.

Since Fiorentina was tied 3 by Liverpool at home in the first game, considering that it is almost impossible to score a draw of more than 3, it is necessary to win the away game in Fiorentina to advance, so Plandelli's starting lineup in this game is no different from home, and it is still mainly attack and defense as the supplement.

The front line is still a combination of Tony and Mutu, and the midfield is also two defensive midfielders Pachenza, Donadale, and two attacking forwards Levirani and Montolivo. However, in terms of position, Levirani is no longer behind the two forwards and serves as the front midfielder, but Pachenza and Donadale are before the centre-back, while Levirani and Montolivo are separated. Mutu's position is slightly retreated, behind Tony, so that Mutu's speed and assault ability can be better utilized.

On the back line, Uyfalusi, Gambelini, Dainelli, Pasquiel are still the goalkeeper Frey.

Liverpool only needs one draw to advance today, and their starting lineup has changed a lot compared to the first game. The forwards are Chen Yu and Bellamy, a combination of two fast horses, and Chen Yu also has good points-grabbing and air-control ability.

In the midfield, Benitez shipped a combination of Gerald, Alonso, Mascherano and Pennant. This combination is definitely the most suitable for counterattack. Gerald and Mascherano have impact. Pennant is good at crossing from the bottom. Alonso made a long pass to the Premier League with such a midfield combination. Fiorentina would never dare to easily press on a large scale when attacking.

Benitez is more stable on the back line, with Riser and Finnan separated from each other, Ag and Carragher in the center, goalkeeper Reina is the last line of defense.

This combination can be said to be Liverpool's strongest defensive counterattack combination. Seeing the lineup lineup arranged by Liverpool, Plandley frowned tightly. He saw Benitez's purpose from this starting lineup. He would never just want to defend a draw. They must have wanted to use goals to lock in the victory and not allow any accidents to happen.

Fiorentina assistant coach Gabriel Pin said in Plandelli's ear: "Liverpool's starting speed is very fast, and we can't give them too much space in the backcourt."

Plandelli sighed and said, "We are no longer allowed to do so now, and the initiative is in their hands."

Gabriel Ping said: "The lessons from Eindhoven yesterday 丨We must learn from it and we must not let them fight back, otherwise Chen's efficiency will be scary."

Plandelley sighed again, but stopped talking because he said everything he should say. The initiative is in the hands of the opponent. They have no other choice except attack. As long as they attack, it is impossible to leave any space for their opponents. All he can do is to try his best to balance the offense and defense.

The first kick-off was the away team Fiorentina. Although they were tied by Liverpool at home, Fiorentina did not feel too timid in their hearts because they were the equalizer in the end. After the game, the midfield and frontcourt attack was very sharp and there was no scruples. However, Fiorentina's back line received repeated advice from Plandelli before the game and did not dare to step forward rashly.

Liverpool's goal today is clear. If you have the chance, you will fight Fiorentina and fight back quickly. If you don't have the chance, you will strangle Fiorentina in the midfield and backcourt.

However, after playing for a few minutes, Chen Yu discovered that Fiorentina's forward midfielder and back line were a little out of touch. Chen Yu stayed in Fiorentina for five years, and immediately realized that this was his former teammate's minds were not unified enough, his midfielder and front field offense were too brave, and the defense line was too afraid of his counterattacks with Bellamy, so that between the three lines, the midfielder and the front line were too close, and the midfielder and back line were too far away.

Such an opportunity will not last too long. Although Plandelli's on-the-spot reaction is not as fast as Mourinho, it is also good. Of course, Chen Yu would not miss this opportunity. He immediately boldly stepped forward and cruised between the midfielder and the defender in Fiorentina.

Although Bellamy is not as keen as Chen Yu's observational ability, nor is Chen Yu familiar with this unique condition of playing Fiorentine players, he trusts Chen Yu and is willing to fight with Chen Yu. When he sees Chen Yu stepping forward to that position, he also consciously moves forward and runs between the defender and the midfield.

The coaches' command lags behind the game. At this moment, the game was less than five minutes before. Plandelli saw that the distance between the midfield and the back line was a bit large, but he had not reacted yet. When Chen Yu and Bellamy entered this space to act, it was too late to shout again. Liverpool's midfield trio are players with a good overall view and vision. Seeing that his teammates had a favorable position, Alonso, who had just grabbed the ball, immediately made a long pass to find Chen Yu.

Bellamy was unmarked, and Chen Yu was followed by Gambellini, but Alonso chose to pass it to Chen Yu. This was not just because Chen Yu's header was good. Alonso believed that his opponent would double-team Chen Yu. Chen Yu could handle this ball well. As long as Chen Yao passed the ball to Bellamy, Bellamy had a chance to shoot. If it was passed to Bellamy, even if Bellamy could stop the ball well, it would not attract defensive forces. It would be difficult to break through to the Fiorentine defender who was standing in a good position with Bellamy's breakthrough ability alone.

Alonso's midfielder's brain, known as Liverpool, is not a false reputation. This pass is full of wisdom. When the ball flew towards Chen Yu, Dainelli was worried that Gambellini could not defend Chen Yu, so he came to respond immediately.

Seeing that he could not get the landing point before Chen Yu, Gambellini jumped tightly against Chen Yu and hugged Chen Yu in the air. Gambellini knew Chen Yu too well, and he would rather take cards than give Chen Yu a chance to get rid of him.

However, Chen Yu also knew his former teammates very well and knew that he could not get rid of it. He headed the ball directly and passed the ball to Bellamy, who was unmarked. Bellamy stopped the ball with his chest and directly dribbled the ball along the rib and cut into the penalty area.

From Alonso's sudden long pass counterattack, to Chen Yu's header, to Bellamy's stopping the ball and breaking into the penalty area, the time it took less than two seconds, which was definitely a lightning counterattack.

The fans and commentators at the scene did not react. The fans stared at Bellamy who was rushing towards the penalty area at high speed, and his mind was blank. The commentator only knew how to shout the words "danger" and "opportunity".

Benitez and Plandelli, who were standing on the sidelines, were also dumbfounded. Benitez saw the opponent's flaws and Plandelli saw his own loopholes, but they didn't have time to react. At this time, the quality of the players changed the situation of the game.
