Following Alonso's shot, everyone on the home team's bench jumped to their feet amid the roar of Anfield.
Li Tiancheng's face was full of excitement and he kept pumping his fists: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! If this momentum continues, the league champion will come back!
Although after the injury, he finally gave up his obsession with the championship. After all, Jose was right. The most important thing now is not the championship, but stable participation in the competition and steady progress in the competition.
Although it is definitely not too late to chase championships after the age of twenty, but if you can win some championships as you progress, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Li Tiancheng was so excited that he did not sit back in his seat, but stood and watched the game enter the intermission.
Just as he was about to follow the large group into the players' tunnel, Li Tiancheng received Paco's order to warm up directly, so he stayed on the court under the envious eyes of his friends.
Fans who were planning to leave their seats to rest saw Li Tiancheng staying behind to warm up and immediately cheered.
Li Tiancheng raised his arms in a familiar manner and turned around to signal to the fans. The cheers from the stands became even louder.
…
"Hahaha, I have to say that this scene will become Anfield's repertoire. Every time during halftime, Li will warm up to prepare for the second half. This scene will happen every time!"
"After all, everyone loves the little prince, who would have thought? Since the beginning of this season, Liverpool's best player is this Chinese boy, even if he has stayed at La Masia for 6 years, this is still incredible!"
"Speaking of La Masia, it is said that Barcelona President Joan Laporta is having a very difficult time. Although Barcelona's record is recovering, the talent level retained by La Masia in recent years has been too high. The outflow of ordinary players is understandable and also
It's very normal, but players of the level of Cesc Fabregas and Li are not common. Messi, who is retained by Barcelona, has established a foothold in the first team, but he has not yet scored a goal..."
The commentators rambled on, and fifteen minutes flew by.
After the start of the second half, Li Tiancheng came on directly as a substitute for Pangler, playing as the right center midfielder.
This did not surprise Li Tiancheng. In this unfamiliar position, Pangler faced Ashley Cole and Pires, and his performance could only be described as struggling.
On the basis of Liverpool's overall excellent performance, this performance is really dazzling.
Although Li Tiancheng said hello to Fabregas before the start of the second half, he had no intention of being polite to him after the game started.
When Fabregas approached the wing and was about to lead Pires, Li Tiancheng directly approached him.
"Hey, Li, don't come so close to me, it will cause misunderstanding."
Li Tiancheng ignored him and directly cut off his receiving route. He had developed a habit since he was a child and did not like to beep with his opponents on the field.
With no passing route, Pires chose to cooperate with Ashley Cole who came in from behind. After Ashley Cole received the ball, Li Tiancheng and Finnan instantly appeared in front of him and launched an encirclement and suppression campaign.
Pires and Fabregas were left to Gerrard and Hamann.
Benitez's emphasis on dividing the pitch once again showed its power.
Cole tried to protect the ball from Finnan's fight, but Li Tiancheng took the opportunity to stab him away.
Seeing Fabregas trying to rush over and counterattack, Li Tiancheng passed the ball to Gerrard behind him.
After passing Cesc Fabregas and receiving Gerrard's response, Li Tiancheng charged with the ball. He found that Arsenal was leaning towards him and directly took the ball to the left.
Kewell moved forward to receive the ball and drove it straight into the penalty area. Mailer moved forward to receive the ball and shot!
Campbell took a risk with a sliding tackle and barely blocked the bottom line.
The corner kick on the right was taken by Alonso. Gerrard headed the ball back before Kolo Toure. Li Tiancheng headered the goal during the confrontation with Cole, and the football missed the crossbar and flew out of bounds...
…
"Ouch!"
Shaking his arm, Li Tiancheng looked at the calm Cole. This guy carried himself when he hit the ball. Otherwise, even if his header is not particularly good, this kind of header is not difficult, and it is not difficult.
As for the top, it's too high.
This guy is amazing. He has perfect timing and strength. His fame is indeed not for nothing.
Putting the troubled mood out of his mind, he quickly returned to the midfield and prepared to defend.
Instead of taking a big kick, Lehmann threw the ball to Campbell, who passed it to Lauren, and this time they chose to go right.
Vieira approached the left wing to meet his teammates, and Gerrard followed to support Kewell. Li Tiancheng also adjusted his position accordingly, moving closer to the center to ensure that he was at a suitable distance from his teammates in front, left, and right.
Vieira and Ljungberg cooperated with each other, attracting Liverpool's formation to move to the left, and passed the ball to Ljungberg, causing Gerrard to block the gap, and passed the ball diagonally to Pires on the left.
At this time, there was enough space in front of Pires on Liverpool's right wing. Pires got the ball and went straight to the baseline. Finnan went to block it, Hamann rushed to help defend, and Li Tiancheng quickly retreated to cover Hamann's position.
Sure enough, with an interception in front and a pursuer behind him, Pires chose an inverted triangle to pass to the front of Liverpool's penalty area.
Fabregas caught up with the shot. Although Li Tiancheng was a little slow, he still tried his best to block it with his foot, but he still interfered with it.
Cesc Fabregas' long-range shot went over the crossbar...
"After the start of the second half, Arsenal's condition became even better, and the two teams exchanged offense and defense."
“Liverpool was the first to pose a threat. Lee’s header was just a hair’s breadth away. Not to be outdone, Cesc Fabregas responded with a long-range shot. The quality was still very high. Unfortunately, due to Lee’s interference, it went over the crossbar!
"
"Fabregas chatted with Li for a few words. These two good friends in the youth team are now their own masters. The offensive and defensive confrontation was very exciting at the beginning. What kind of performance will they bring later?"
"It's Liverpool's possession now. They are not in a hurry to attack, but are constantly conducting..."
Li Tiancheng saw Fabregas' shot go over the crossbar, and turned away without paying attention to what he was saying to him.
Fabregas was praising Li Tiancheng for his much improved defensive level, and suddenly shut up: It's not like I don't know his playing habits, so I don't have to speak.
Next, Li Tiancheng just followed his teammates to move and take the initiative to cooperate with Alonso to mobilize Arsenal's formation.
Seeing Alonso suddenly pass a long ball directly into the penalty area, Li Tiancheng immediately moved forward. Campbell grabbed the landing spot ahead of Mele. However, in the confrontation with Mele, his header was not fully effective and the clearance was not far away.
Fabregas did not expect Campbell to make such a mistake and quickly started to catch the ball, but was rushed to the front by Li Tiancheng who started early.
After successfully getting the ball, Li Tiancheng himself was surrounded by Vieira and Toure. Just as he was about to break through on his own, he spotted a red shadow out of the corner of his eye.
Li Tiancheng struggled to maintain his balance under Toure's fight, and pushed the ball to the center before Toure could steal it.
Gerrard rushed to the top of the penalty area, received a pass from Li Tiancheng, and took a long shot!
Lehmann soared into the air. Faced with the powerful and heavy shot, he did not dare to try and catch the ball in his hands, and directly blocked the ball to the side...
