Although they failed to score, Liverpool's morale was greatly boosted. Since they were able to continuously create threats, exceeding the score was just around the corner.
Under this situation, Manchester City did not dare to invest too much force on the offensive end, and the ball was quickly handed over to Liverpool.
Li Tiancheng received Josemi's pass and went straight to the baseline. When he saw Thatcher stepping forward to intercept again, he buckled his right foot and tilted his body, turning to cut inside.
Thatcher followed and turned around. Li Tiancheng's spike foot crossed the football and turned into an outside instep to pick the ball. His body changed direction again and went directly to the bottom.
Thatcher tried to follow Li Tiancheng and continuously changed his center of gravity, causing his steps to become messy and he fell down!
Distin rushed to fill the position, but was a little late. Li Tiancheng passed the ball calmly before.
Without looking for the forward point, Baros pressed into the small penalty area, but was also firmly targeted by Dunn. The football went straight to the top of the penalty area. Cisse stopped the ball on his chest and broke into the penalty area. The ball was slightly larger, and James struck decisively.
The ball was successfully confiscated.
Li Tiancheng waved his hand, a little regretful, Gerrard had already inserted into the left side, Cisse only needs to pass the ball, Gerrard will face the empty goal!
Seeing Gerald communicating with Cisse, Li Tiancheng swallowed his words, forget it, come again.
Li Tiancheng saw Hyypia intercepting Manchester City's pass, turned back and rushed straight into the Manchester City half, and this time he chose to cut into the ribs to receive the ball.
Gerrard's pass was delayed by half a beat, and Li Tiancheng could only stop and turn around to catch the ball.
Although he was waiting for the ball with his back, Li Tiancheng knew very well that Bosvelt and Thatcher were about to surround him, so he did not choose to stop the ball. Instead, he turned around to let the ball come over and kicked the ball directly in.
Restricted area.
Baros sprinted into position in the penalty area and shot with his right foot. The angle was too right and the football fell directly into James' arms.
Li Tiancheng clenched his fists, turned around and bent over, grinning...
grass
This is too painful. I can’t feed the cake directly. No, I have to try to do it myself...
It's not just Li Tiancheng. The continued waste of opportunities has caused the morale of the entire Liverpool to drop. Once or twice is okay, but it is unjustifiable to continuously waste opportunities like this.
Li Tiancheng was still angry, but he found that Phillips actually rushed towards him with the ball: You are really treating me like a sick cat, and you actually changed positions here to attack me!
Without saying anything, he just shoveled it over.
The tackle was so clean that Phillips was caught off guard and tackled down.
Li Tiancheng quickly got up, passed the ball to Gerrard, and then rushed forward.
"Tsk!"
Li Tiancheng could only turn around quickly and rush towards the landing point of the football.
Gerrard gave the ball to Josemi, who tried to pass the ball but made a mistake.
Not only was the ball passed half high, but it was also passed too small!
Li Tiancheng rushed to the landing point along the left sideline first, and Sibirski followed closely and got stuck on the inside.
Li Tiancheng directly used the outside of his right foot to push the ball to his right rear, and the ball went past Sibilski's right!
At the same time, Li Tiancheng turned to the left and passed directly past Silbiski, catching up with the football and cutting straight into the middle.
Dribbling the ball forward, facing the encirclement and suppression, and Bosvelt directly made a flying tackle, Li Tiancheng directly made a through ball with his right foot.
Baros sprinted directly from the front of the penalty area, got rid of the Manchester City defender, received the ball from the left and right sides of the small penalty area, and shot directly.
James struck out in time, fell to the ground to block the shooting angle, raised his arm subconsciously, rubbed his fingertips, and the football flew over the crossbar!
James jumped up all of a sudden, pumped his fists and roared, looking very excited.
Baros put his head in his hands and looked up to the sky and sighed!
Li Tiancheng chose to complete the pass first. He was a step too slow to jump to avoid and was directly tackled to the ground.
As soon as Gulu sat up, he saw the goal was empty, James clenched his fists and howled angrily, and Baros had his thumb pointed upward - reaching towards him.
Sitting on the turf, watching the referee Bol issue a yellow card to Bosvelt, Li Tiancheng stood up with his teeth bared. What can he do? Come again!
"Tiancheng made two consecutive through balls, which penetrated Manchester City's defense like a scalpel. Both were wasted. This time, he took the risk of injury and completed the pass first. Baros squandered the opportunity continuously. As a fresh player,
The top scorer in the European Cup, this shouldn't be the case!" Liu Jianhong directly defended Li Tiancheng.
"But these two kicks also let people know why Benitez asked Tiancheng to retreat. Tiancheng's passing was so sharp, but Benitez didn't expect that the pass was passed but the shot was missing!
"Zhang Lu never forgets to discover Li Tiancheng's highlights.
"It's now the 72nd minute of the game, and the score is still 1:1. Of course, Liverpool still has the absolute upper hand."
"Manchester City kicked the ball out again, and Hamann grabbed the first goal in the midfield..."
Li Tiancheng took over Hamann and saw that Manchester City's defensive focus was tilting towards him, which was not unexpected.
Li Tiancheng took a step forward, made a slight adjustment, and transferred the ball to the left with a long pass.
Kewell caught the ball and accelerated, faced Mills' interception, raised his foot and knocked the ball behind him, and passed Mills himself.
Mills had no choice but to change his target to Rise.
Riise didn't hesitate, he played a one-two and passed the ball to Kewell's inside path.
Kewell pushed the ball to the center, and Gerrard got the ball and stuffed it directly into the penalty area.
Baros rushed to the ribs on the right side of the penalty area, first stopped with his right foot, avoided Distin's press, then moved forward, leaving Distin behind, and shot directly before goalkeeper James could attack!
The football goes straight into the lower left corner!
2:1!
The constant siege finally paid off.
Anfield suddenly erupted into a roaring tsunami!
Li Tiancheng stopped and took a long breath...
"Beautiful, Baros made a stoppage and then shot. The connection of movements is really perfect, and his ability is indeed extraordinary." Liu Jianhong greatly appreciated this goal.
"Hehe, I just don't know what's wrong with this Baros. Tiancheng fed him meat to his mouth, but he didn't eat it! Now he needs to get rid of the defender. The difficulty is not only doubled, but he has become more energetic!"
"Haha, it's true, but as long as he can win, Tiancheng shouldn't care about this..."
Of course, it is impossible for Li Tiancheng to have no grudges all of a sudden, but it is normal to miss opportunities on the court, and it is impossible to dwell on the previous mistakes of his teammates.
Finally taking the lead, the Liverpool players finally calmed down and played more freely. It was difficult not to be nervous after continuously wasting opportunities before.
However, Manchester City was somewhat defeated. Their offense was not making any waves, and their defense was just struggling to hold on. Now it was broken again, and their morale was suddenly exhausted.
The midfield kick-off was followed by a few hasty moves before the jubilant Liverpool snatched the ball away.
At this moment, Liverpool no longer had the ball and started attacking hurriedly. They had time to organize and plan.
Gerrard passed a long pass, and Li Tiancheng lifted his foot and moved the ball forward, looking at Thatcher who was slightly bowed and retreating in small steps.
Starting from the base, move the ball with the back of your right foot toward the baseline, then slide your foot across the football, smash the ball inward with your inside foot, and turn your body to cut into the penalty area - flicking the cow's tail.
Thatcher, who subconsciously turned around following Li Tiancheng, lost his center of gravity again. The reality of being knocked down twice in one game made him reach out his hand desperately.
"Snapped"
Thatcher fell to the ground, and Li Tiancheng was brought down with him!
