At the away Frankie Stadium, Chen Yu did not celebrate his hat-trick, but at home, he could no longer celebrate. He is now a Liverpool player and he must give happiness to his home fans.

However, Chen Yu celebrated it very implicitly. He just raised his hands, looked up at the stars, and accepted the worship of all Liverpool fans.

"...The beautiful counterattack Chen scored his tenth goal in the Champions League. If Milan's Kaka cannot continue to score in another game, Chen will basically lock in the Champions League top scorer. 0 Fiorentina must score three goals to advance. This is almost impossible to complete. The following forty-five minutes is almost garbage time..."

The roar of the live commentator echoed over the field through the microphone. His voice was relaxed and pleasant, and he no longer had any doubts about Liverpool's advance to the semi-finals.

Everyone in Liverpool is in the same mood at this moment. As soon as Chen Yu scored this goal, almost everyone felt that the overall situation had been decided and there would be no more surprises.

The only thing that may be a little worried is head coach Benitez. Benitez is a very cautious coach. The shadow of being tied by Fiorentina in the end has always been in his heart. Now, although Fiorentina needs three goals to advance, as a coach, Benitez's goal is to kill all unfavorable possibilities.

Before the players celebrated, Benitez called Gerald, Alonso and others to the sidelines, "...Don't relax, hold on to the last few minutes and bring the 0 score back to the locker room."

Although Gerald and Alonso disagreed, Benitez has a very high prestige in Liverpool. Even if they do not agree with Benitez's instructions, they will definitely execute them completely. When they return to the court, Gerald and Alonso bring Benitez's meaning to everyone, so that their teammates can defend well and not be careless.

After the game started again, Liverpool was ready to deal with Fiorentina's counterattack, but he did not expect that the Fiorentina players were stunned by Chen Yu's goal and did not breathe for a moment. The offense and defense were not unified in the last few minutes of the first half. Not only did they not cause any trouble for Liverpool, but they almost scored again by Liverpool's counterattack. Fortunately, Liverpool was full of joy and was not ready to counterattack in the last few minutes, otherwise the second half would have really become garbage time.

Back in the locker room, the players in Fiorentina were a little dejected, two goals behind in the half and had to score three goals in the second half to advance. And it was on the away game, which was almost impossible to complete. At this time, most of the players in Fiorentina had lost confidence in reversing.

After entering, Plandley didn't speak for a long time. He knew the current situation better than anyone else. He was not as strong as his opponent, his morale was not as good as his opponent, and his score was behind his opponent. He could not play in this game, but at this time he could never give up. Fiorentina has achieved such amazing results in the past two seasons. In addition to Chen Yu, Uu, it is more because Fiorentina is united and has high fighting spirit and will never give up. If she loses this spirit, it will be difficult to play in the future and next season.

After a while of silence, when he saw the atmosphere in the locker room became more depressing, like the dark clouds pressing before the storm, Plandelli spoke.

"We don't have many opportunities anymore." Plandelli's tone was a little heavy, "We have completely lost the chance to defend our title in the league, and we were eliminated in the Italian Cup. The Champions League is the only event we can defend our title..." Speaking of this, Plandelli's voice was a little louder.

"...Yes, our strength is not enough to defend the title, but we were not the strongest team last season, but we won the championship in the end. Now we are two goals behind, and we only score three goals to advance. For Liverpool, who has never lost a game here in a season, our hope is very slim. We must admit this. However, I think we cannot give up the miracle of scoring 3 goals in the half. It is not impossible to happen. At least we and Liverpool have done it. You have also seen it in the last few minutes of the first half. Liverpool relaxed a little, otherwise we would not be two goals behind. This is a good sign for us. As long as they continue to relax in the second half, we have hope. Of course, the premise is that we cannot give up. We must maintain our fighting spirit and perform exceptionally, so that we can create miracles..."

Speaking of this, when Plandley saw that the players had already made some intentions, he no longer continued to be sensational. He was not very good at motivation, and in his opinion, the method of motivation like a chicken blood is not good. If you really want to play at a high level, you still need more perfect strategies and tactics and some luck on the spot. So Plandley then made targeted adjustments to the first half and made full preparations for the hard battle in the second half.

In the home team's locker room, Benitez did not make any tactical adjustments. He simply said a few questions that occurred in the first half, and then left the locker room to let the players relax and lively themselves. After all, the score is already very stable. Even if Fiorentina can score in the second half, Liverpool has fast horses like Chen Yu and Bellamy, and there is a great hope for the goal, and there will be basically no major accidents.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and the players from Liverpool and Fiorentina returned to the court to compete for the remaining half. After these forty-five minutes, who will advance to the Champions League semi-finals will be revealed.

The first kick-off in the second half was the home team Liverpool. Compared with the second half of the first half, Liverpool's formation in the second half was more forward. The forward line was outside the center circle. Among the four players in the midfield, Gerrard's position stood within the center circle, which was equivalent to pushing the formation forward by five meters.

Fiorentina made an adjustment in the second half of the front line. Donadale in the midfield was replaced, and another flexible high center forward Pacini came on the court. He and Tony formed a double tower, while Mutu retreated slightly, about the position of a midfielder.

Plandelli's purpose is very clear. In the first half, Fiorentina's most threatening offense came from Tony's header. The threat of crossing from the wing was not great. Tony has always been the focus of opponent's defense. He was either double-teamed by two central defenders or double-teamed by central defenders and midfielders. The game was very hard, so Plandelli asked Pacini to play, increase the strength of the front line, and share some pressure for Tony.

Pacini is not afraid of tigers. He just went on the court and was physically strong. Tony is a fulcrum in the frontcourt and cannot run around with Liverpool players. But Pacini is different. He is doing a task to assist Tony. His pressing in the frontcourt can destroy the opponent's backcourt organization and prevent the opponent from launching a counterattack in the first time. He even has the hope of breaking the ball to support Tony.

Liverpool saw Pacini's appearance and also saw Pacini's crazy pressing in the frontcourt, but they didn't care. Although Pacini is a rising star in Italian football, his strength is much worse than Tony. Liverpool players do not think he has the ability to change the situation.

But Chen Yu didn't think so. He and Pachini were teammates. He knew that his strength was not something that could be reflected in his fame. Compared with Tony, his height was almost the same, but his header was still very good. His speed and turn were faster than Tony. With Tony with such a small trump, his current teammates might not be so easy to deal with. Moreover, behind them, there is a Mutu, nicknamed Viper. As long as Tony and Pachini show their power, Liverpool's defender will be able to deal with difficulties. Under negligence, Mutu will definitely find an opportunity.

Chen Yu was worried that his teammates at Liverpool would suffer losses, so he quickly retreated to the front of the defense and shouted at Ag and Carragher: "Don't be careless, No. 9 is very powerful, be careful."

Before Chen Yu could finish his words, a Fiorentina attack was launched, and the ball was just hanging in the middle to look for Tony. Tony attracted most of the attention, and only Mascherano dealt with Pacini.

Tony obviously knew Pacchini's strength. His grabbing point was just a fake shot, while Pacchini was rushing over to fight for the header.

Mascherano followed Pacini tightly. Although Pacini was taller than him, Mascherano did not think he could not deal with this young man who was about the same age as him. However, when both of them jumped up to compete for the header, Mascherano immediately regretted it. He found that Pacini was not worse than him in terms of jumping, but he was stronger than him in terms of strength, and was more accurate in terms of landing points. However, it was too late to make a foul at this time. Mascherano could only barely reach out and pull it in the air, hoping to destroy Pacini's passing accuracy and give his teammates more time to defend.

Pacini's header at this position is definitely not a shot. The distance is too far. Even if he can reach the goal range, his strength is too small. Any professional goalkeeper can definitely easily save. So Pacini's header is Mutu behind him and Tony.

During the halftime break, Plandelli made a plan. He and Tony were both open attackers, while Mutu was a hidden killer. As long as the opportunity was not good, he and Tony would cover Mutu and let Mutu shoot.

Mascherano has little effect on Pacini's header. After all, this is not a shot, and the pass does not need to be so accurate. Just be on the running line of the teammates. Teammates can get the ball with just a slight deflection.

Mutu kept swimming around the penalty area. His speed was not fast, but his running position was very erratic. The players who followed him would lose from time to time, because Mutu's running position was straight, slashed, and backwards. It was a torture to guard against him.
