Belleron, Baraja, Cruise, all three of them stood in front of the ball, although Atletico Madrid did not have Beckham's top-level free kicks, but there are many players who can take free kicks, Belleron's footwork is excellent, free kicks are also of some level, Baraja is a kind of free kick that makes a miracle, his powerful shot is also quite threatening, although Cruise is not obvious, but Dick will not forget his later life at Inter Milan, but he has scored a few wonderful direct free kicks......

After joining Atletico Madrid, Cruise has not taken a direct free kick in the game, but in the usual training, Dick has not relaxed Cruise's free kick training, and the tall player has an advantage in taking free kicks, that is, he can better observe the movement of the goalkeeper behind the wall, and Cruise's footwork is not bad, leaving him until now, Dick also uses him as a secret weapon.

No one can hide a player as a secret weapon for a season, but a certain skill of a player can be used as a secret weapon, and in the training before the game, Dick focused on this set-piece tactic, and when Belleron and Baraja attracted each other's attention, Cruise completed the stunner!

As a super sub, of course, you also need a certain amount of targeted tactics to be able to play your best.

Cruise took the lead with a tall wall in front of him – Gerrard, Harman and Husky stood in front of him, flanked by Barmsby, McAllister and Smitchell, who didn't have a defender but was tall enough......

However, the attention of the Liverpool wall is not on Kruse, everyone knows that Belleron is Atletico Madrid's first penalty taker from set-pieces, and Baraja also has a lot of records of scoring goals with great bangs, these two people are the most dangerous.

The six-man wall lined up, Westerved also tensed his nerves, and in the penalty area, Atletico Madrid's Jardel was fighting for positions with Liverpool's defenders, the shouting in the stands gradually subsided, and everyone's attention was focused on the ball.

The referee blew the whistle to take the penalty, Cruise, who was standing in front of the ball, did not move, and Belleron began to accelerate towards the ball!

After rushing close to the ball, Belleron picked up his own foot, and the wall began to jump, but Belleron did not shoot, but ran directly from the ball, and Baraja behind began to accelerate!

However, he didn't shoot either, and when the wall began to fall, Cruise, who was standing motionless in front of the ball, picked up his left foot, and then lifted his foot and shot the ball out with the inside of his foot!

The wall that had just fallen was too late to jump again, and the ball arced in the air, then bypassed the wall and flew directly to the near corner of the goal!

Westerved was shaken twice in quick succession by the initial movements of Bellerón and Baraja, which made his jump a step slower, and by the time he was just getting up, the ball was already spinning headlong into the corner of the goal!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOAL！ The ball is in again! Nice direct free kick! Julio Cruise! It's incredible! Ten minutes after coming on as a substitute at half-time, Kros scored twice to help Atletico lead Liverpool 4-2! This is a huge blow to Liverpool! ”

Cruise opened his arms, and Belleron jumped on Cruise's back from behind, they were very excited now, and the two-goal lead left them one step away from winning the UEFA Cup!

Dick raised his hands on the sidelines and made a gesture of two "Vs", and the Atletico fans in the stands let out a crazy shout, they were only one step away from winning the first UEFA Cup in the club's history!

Houllier's expression began to become extremely serious!

Liverpool's predicament now is even bigger than that faced by Atletico in the first half, after all, when Atletico Madrid was two goals down, there were still nearly seventy minutes to catch up, and Liverpool now only had more than 30 minutes left to recover from two goals behind......

Houllier made a second substitution, the mediocre Heskey was replaced by veteran Litmaning, Atletico Madrid's tactical defense of Liverpool's long ball rush in this game was in good place, except for set-pieces, Liverpool had little chance to play to their height advantage, this substitution meant that Liverpool intended to attack more through midfield and on the ground.

The game began to heat up even more, and the action between the two sides began to gradually increase, first Babel brought down Vicente and received a yellow card, and then Marchena also tackled Owen in the middle of the field, and also received a yellow card.

In such entanglement, Liverpool's passes in several midfielders still showed their power, and in the 72nd minute, McAllister sent a beautiful through pass in the midfield, and under the cover of Litmanen, Owen got rid of Thuram's defense, received a direct pass from McAllister, and then went straight to face the attacking Molina and calmly pushed the far corner to score - three to four, Liverpool pulled back a point again!

The offense of both sides seems to be crazy, they have scored seven goals in more than 70 minutes, and the momentum of the goal does not seem to have any downward trend!

After Liverpool pulled back a point, Dick also quickly made a second substitution, Torres came on and replaced Jadel because of stripping to celebrate and maintain the vitality of the attack!

Dick didn't play conservatively at all this time, and now that the battle is starting to get out of the way, let's try it out and see who can score more goals!

After recovering a point, Liverpool originally planned to attack again while the iron was hot to try for an equalizer, but after the restart, they were immediately attacked by Atletico Madrid!

After Jardel left the field, Atletico Madrid's offense began to focus more on the ground, constantly using back and forth passes and breakthroughs to create opportunities, Torres was more flexible than Jardel, and Cruise was also a striker with no slow skills and reactions at all at his feet, coupled with the organization of Belleron behind him and the support of the wings, Atletico Madrid began to play a faster attack!

Such an attack immediately caught Liverpool off guard!

Hyypia just made a beautiful tackle to shovel the ball at Torres' feet, but the ball rolled to the feet of Vicente, who cut inside with the ball, and after attracting Gerrard's attention, he quickly turned around and distributed the ball to Capdevilla who was inserted on the side, Capdevilla received the ball, forced away from McAllister who was returning to the defense, and then cut into the box, and only when he was close to the edge of the big penalty area did he get up and pass a curling ball with his left foot!

It was a half-high ball, Cruise and Carragher rushed to the ball at the same time, and seeing that Cruise was about to beat the opponent to grab the first point, Westerved struck in time and punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists before Cruise grabbed the point!

The ball flew forward, Smitchell was about to receive the ball, but Makelele came to a beautiful defense, grabbed the ball in front of him and stabbed the ball to Baraja, Baraja took the ball and passed the ball to Belleron in front, Belleron received the ball and turned around, saw Camoranesi on the wing, and immediately passed the ball to him.

Camoranesi redistributed the ball to the middle and handed it to Torres, who took the ball and quickly poked it with his toes, passed the ball to Cruise, who was involved in the box, and then cut forward, Cruise's run in the box attracted Hyypia's attention, and a gap began to appear in the middle of Liverpool's box......

Torres decisively began to cut forward towards that gap, Babbel rushed over from the side to defend Torres, but was left behind by Torres, at this time, Cruise, who received the ball, did not stop the ball, but with his back to the middle of the penalty area, he raised his foot and knocked the ball directly with his heel near the penalty spot!

Torres plugged in and appeared in the path of the ball's rolling!

Gerrard and Carragher fell to the ground from both sides at the same time to cut the ball off halfway, but their struggle to block was still a step too slow!

Torres strode after the ball, picked up his right foot the moment he got close to the ball, and then shot at the ball as soon as it rolled over!

His foot hit the front of the ball with precision, and the ball rolled diagonally against the turf, and the next moment, it flew into the goal by grazing the far post!

Five to three! An absolute big score! Although it is not as many goals as Real Madrid defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 7-3 in the Champions League final that year, it also equals the goal record of Porto's 5-3 defeat of Real Madrid in the Champions League final!

The score that has happened now alone is already the second highest number of goals scored in a European final!

The whole stadium started to go crazy, and countless Atletico fans clapped wildly and celebrated their lead again - our team is definitely much better than Liverpool! They couldn't keep their lead with a two-goal lead, but we were able to keep a two-goal lead!

Torres was quickly surrounded by his team-mates, and so far Dick's ability to command on the pitch was outstanding, with his two substitutions leading to three goals!

This is a victory of tactics, but also a victory of on-the-spot command ability!

In the most important game of the season, Dick can be said to have smashed everything he could smash, a high-level injury card, four goal cards, coupled with careful calculations and accurate tactical changes, even if Liverpool played at a very high level in this game, they still couldn't resist a crazy Atletico Madrid!

Houllier looked at the Atletico players in celebration with some weakness, he already felt that there seemed to be no more hope for this game, and there were only more than ten minutes left before the end of the game, can Liverpool still be able to pull off a miracle?

He didn't give up! He quickly used up the last substitution, Barmsby came on, replaced Murphy, who was average in the game, and continued to add a wide attacker, Liverpool had to fight back!

Liverpool's goal luck in this game seemed to be really good, three minutes later, Bambi's cross hit Baraja and flew off the line, McAllister took a corner, and Marchena at the back post accidentally headed the ball into his own goal when he cleared the ball - an own goal, Liverpool stubbornly narrowed the score to one point!

However, in the 80th minute of the game, Torres's breakthrough still created a free kick for Atletico, Belleron's free kick was driven to the back post, and Baraja, who was inserted in the back row, met the ball from a small angle, and the ball bounced off Westerved's hand and flew into the goal!

Six to four! Atletico completely sealed the victory! In this crazy battle of attack, it was Atletico who had the last laugh in the end!

A jaw-dropping, incomparably crazy big score!
