Irving may be very strong now, but he's really stupid when he can't distinguish priorities.
His attention has been attracted by status, money and other things, but he still has some thoughts on football. For such a person, even if he is a Ballon d'Or winner, it is not a big deal. He will definitely do it thoroughly.
surpass him.
Thinking of this, Li Tiancheng completely lost interest in Irving.
It is better to focus on the game in front of you. It would be bad if irrelevant people affect your analysis and grasp of the game.
For Liverpool, there is no room for bargaining with the goal of entering the Champions League. Last year, they already missed the Champions League once, which caused a serious blow to the club's image and economy. There must be no surprises this year.
This of course puts a lot of pressure on Benitez and the team, but professional football is always shrouded in pressure every day.
The Austrian Hurricanes are very aware of the gap in strength between themselves and Liverpool, so it is logical to choose intensive defensive tactics. Their midfield and backcourt are very well organized, which causes a lot of trouble for Liverpool's offensive advancement.
But Liverpool still took the lead.
In the 22nd minute, Kewell broke through from the left, stopped the ball and turned around to knock it back to Hamann. Hamann passed the ball across to Gerrard. Gerrard shot hard from 25 meters outside the penalty area and the ball went straight into the upper left corner.
1:0.
But then Liverpool did not take over the game smoothly. The opponent's defense was still very tight, and Liverpool did not find any good opportunities to expand the score.
The Austrian Hurricane's game strategy is very clear, based on defense and counterattack depending on the situation.
In two rounds of games, facing a wealthy team like Liverpool, losing only one goal is acceptable, even at home.
Just attack as the situation arises, you can always, probably, maybe steal one?
Liverpool's offensive routine was also relatively simple. Although the field gradually became a half-time offensive and defensive drill, the scene still became dull.
Li Tiancheng's eyes were gradually attracted to Gerald.
We didn't see what Gerrard's abilities were in the warm-up match, but now he's starting to show how powerful he is.
No wonder giants like Real Madrid are chasing him. Just looking at his ability to cover the entire field makes people drool.
Li Tiancheng himself is used to large-scale activities, but he knows very well that he can't attack like Gerrard now and have to shoulder the burden of defense.
The dull scene could not cover up Gerrard's brilliance.
The second half of the game has gone on for more than 20 minutes, and Gerrard's speed has not been affected by time at all. It was no different at the beginning.
He launched an attack from his own half. Cisse took the ball from the wing and passed it to Kewell in the middle. Gerrard strode forward to the edge of the penalty area, and under the opponent's pressure, he received Kewell's pass and shot low into the net.
.
2:0.
This is more stable.
"It's amazing. This body is so strong and the skills are sufficient. It's definitely a real thigh!"
During the strong attack, when Liverpool's forwards were overwhelmed, Gerrard stood up and scored two cloud-piercing arrows to seal the victory.
Li Tiancheng stood up and cheered along with his teammates, feeling amazed in his heart.
When he sat back on the bench, he noticed from the corner of his eye that Irving's expression was complicated.
After being slightly startled, Li Tiancheng allowed himself to continue paying attention to the game.
After the restart, the Austrian Hurricanes began to perform poorly, and their formation was no longer as tight as before.
Being two goals behind, they could no longer hope to find a chance to sneak in and equalize the score.
We must attack.
But at this time, their players on the court were not unified in their thinking. Many people were worried that after the attack was launched, their defensive strength would be weak and they would continue to concede goals.
The lack of unity of thought caused their formation to become disorganized.
At this time, Li Tiancheng noticed that Benitez, who was standing on the sidelines, turned to look at the bench, and his back straightened suddenly.
"Lee, go warm up!"
Li Tiancheng took a breath, stood up slowly, and rushed out...
In the 80th minute, Li Tiancheng replaced Warnock.
Li Tiancheng naturally had no idea that the Chinese domestic Internet was in a state of uproar at this time. He just tried his best to calm down his emotions.
"I didn't expect that my career debut would be in the Champions League."
The Champions League qualifying rounds are not considered the Champions League main matches, but they are always European competitions.
After running a few steps on the field, Li Tiancheng's inner fluctuations completely calmed down.
It's just that Li Tiancheng didn't expect that even though he didn't make any contribution to Liverpool when he came on the field, it actually lifted the spirit of the Austrian Hurricane.
The originally scattered goals refocused: "Liverpool looks down on people so much. It's time to start training new people. This is our opportunity!"
That's probably what they think.
The young Li Tiancheng came on the field, giving the Austrian Hurricane hope for the final victory!
The Austrian hurricane began to charge towards Li Tiancheng's side.
The opponent's impact made Li Tiancheng, who had experienced many battles, suddenly wake up.
Not to mention that Li Tiancheng has been training based on the football scenes in his mind since he was a child.
It is not an exaggeration to say that during the six years he stayed at La Masia, he participated in youth leagues at all levels every year, and also led the Chinese national juniors to participate in the Asian Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships.
No matter how important the game is, it is just a football game.
As long as it's a football game, I can't help myself.
Li Tiancheng calmly retreated step by step, turning his body slightly to give way to the outside line.
Seeing that his opponent had chosen to take the outside route, Li Tiancheng quickly turned around and followed up, blocking the guy's inward route.
Then I was satisfied to see that Josemi came up with support as expected, and the two of them worked together to cut off the football from this guy's feet.
From then on, whether the opponent chose to break through or pass the ball, Li Tiancheng blocked the opponent's most threatening route, and then with the help of his teammates, he continued to end the opponent's offense.
The opponent kept attacking, but it had no effect at all. In the end, he seemed to lose his patience and planned to cut inside and carry Li Tiancheng forward.
Li Tiancheng reached out his foot to poke it in time, and immediately ducked out of the way. The football obediently left the opponent's control, but the guy couldn't control his pace and passed Li Tiancheng directly.
Li Tiancheng immediately accelerated to catch up with the football, speeding up and running straight into the opponent's half. The Hurricanes players who were about to attack rushed to surround Li Tiancheng.
Li Tiancheng dribbled the ball all the way forward, firmly controlling the ball at his feet and drawing the opponent's defensive focus towards him.
Before the opponent's encirclement, Helong passed the ball to Gerrard, who was connecting in the middle. Gerrard passed the ball into the penalty area. Cisse succeeded in countering offside, and faced the goalkeeper and shot the ball directly into the far corner!
0:3!
The Austrian Hurricane's morale was completely wiped out and they were no longer able to fight back.
After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Li Tiancheng had a rare urge to jump for joy...
Gerrard patted Li Tiancheng's arm: "Very good, a successful debut!"
Li Tiancheng's mouth opened wide and he didn't intend to close it for a moment.
After lining up under the stands and thanking the fans who came from afar, Li Tiancheng was about to return to the locker room with his teammates when he was surrounded by a group of cheerful people...
