Chapter 404: Boiling Anfield (Part II)

Juventus' morale has taken a huge hit.

They never imagined that they would be two goals behind before half an hour into the first half.

In this second leg of the game, Chiellini returned from injury, and the BBC combined, it can be said that Juventus's starting lineup is very neat.

They are also very prepared for this game.

In terms of Serie A, they even brought the league forward to Friday night, and Liverpool, who just played an FA Cup match with Manchester United two days ago, can be said to be much better than Liverpool in terms of fitness.

However, in this case, the current score and situation have really hit the morale of Juventus' players.

Liverpool led Juventus by two goals so easily, you know, Juventus was the runner-up in the Champions League last season, and Juventus's defensive strength is well known, which also surprised some of the 'detectives' of the big teams watching this game in the stands.

Are Liverpool so strong now?

Falling behind by two goals in the first half was also a headache for Allegri, who forced himself to calm down and analyze the problem.

Of course, the most important thing is to make a decision immediately, and in this case, how should Juventus respond!

In the end, Allegri decided to defend well first, and definitely not to concede any more goals, if there is still a glimmer of hope for Juventus in the 0-2 situation, if Liverpool score another goal, then Juventus will be completely finished.

Therefore, in the subsequent game, what fans saw was that Juventus, who were two goals behind, did not fight back, but defended with all their might.

……

"Allegri's choice is right, if you press it out at this time, there will be more than luck, and the sharpness of Liverpool's counterattack is very terrifying!"

Seeing Juventus stubbornly defending, Klopp was not in a hurry, he signaled his players not to rush and take their time.

The 2-0 score is enough for Liverpool to have more confidence to play leisurely, and the team's physical strength is not sufficient, since Juventus is not in a hurry, Liverpool is even less in a hurry.

In such a situation, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score remained unchanged and Liverpool temporarily led Juventus 2-0 at Anfield.

This also makes Allegri hate it so much, Liverpool's tactics and style of play are really annoying, but Allegri has no choice, he knows that if Juventus presses out, he will be fooled, Liverpool's counterattack is too fierce.

……

"Do you think it's over? Far from it! The Liverpudlian is expected to think the game is over early. They must have started the celebration in the locker room. This is our chance...... "In the away dressing room, Allegri is cheering on the players.

'In this case, Liverpool may be slack, at the beginning of the second half, this is our chance, we have to press out and attack, and Liverpool will be caught off guard!"

'It's not an insurmountable obstacle to three goals, as long as we pull one back within fifteen minutes of the second half, there's hope!"

"Mandzukic, you need to be aggressive, I want you to interfere with the Liverpool defence!"

"Dybala, the team needs your skills!"

"Pogba, I allow you to open fire, you can try to shoot more from distance in the second half!"

The Juventus players nodded frequently, and the coach was right, there was still hope for them!

“Gooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaal!”

"Mane! Mane! One more goal! Just five minutes into the second half, Liverpool scored again! It was their third goal of the day! Liverpool lead Juventus 3-0! ”

"This is the connection between Mane, Jiang Chenxi and Salah! Salah poked a toe pass after cutting inside on the wing, Jiang had his back to Chiellini and cleverly passed the football to Lallana, who pushed the ball to Mane, and the Senegalese volleyed with the outside instep! Beautiful goal! ”

"Three to zero! Liverpool have a three-goal lead over Juventus, and it's an unexpected game! Lineker said, with excitement and a hint of surprise in his tone.

……

Yes, no one could have imagined that Liverpool would play so smoothly in this game, and be able to lead last season's Champions League runners-up by three goals in 50 minutes, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Jurgen Klopp sat in the dugout, and with a 3-0 lead, he could rest assured that Juventus had to score four goals if they wanted to turn the tables!

Want to score four goals against Liverpool at Anfield with just over 40 minutes left? It's simply impossible!

"Don't give up! There is still hope! "Allegri shouted from the sidelines to boost the morale of the players, and at this time, it is absolutely necessary to muster up the courage to fight, once you don't have this fighting spirit, it will collapse.

With three goals down, Juventus went on a desperate attack.

Not only that, but their players were getting bigger and bigger on the pitch, which also fueled the anger of the Liverpool players, and there were already two skirmishes between the two sides in less than ten minutes.

In such a situation, Klopp made a substitution at the 65th minute of the game, and he replaced Jiang Chenxi with Firmino, who he was worried that would be targeted by Juventus' players and cause injury.

At the same time, Klopp used Joe. Gomes replaced Mohamed Salah and Gomes moved to left-back, with James Milner returning to midfield and using the England tough guy to bolster the midfield.

It was a very targeted substitution, Milner returned to midfield, and Liverpool's midfield immediately strengthened their scrambling and defensive hardness.

……

"Eighty minutes into the game, the score on the pitch is still 3-0, and Liverpool is only a matter of time before they reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League!" Lineker said happily that he could not wait to declare Liverpool's victory.

Juventus haven't given up yet, they're still looking for a goal, and at this point, a comeback is a luxury, and they're eager to score at least one goal to save face.

Eighty-six minutes into the game, Dybala burst into the box with the ball. Gomez fell to the ground after contact, the referee hesitated, blew the whistle and blew the penalty.

The penalty was awarded to a huge boo at Anfield.

"The referee's penalty was a bit reluctant." Lineker criticized, "Is it too ugly to see Juventus lose and give them a goal? ”

Liverpool's players were unhappy with the penalty.

Jurgen Klopp also looked dissatisfied, protesting vehemently on the sidelines.

The referee's decision could not be changed, and in the end, Pogba converted the penalty.

1-3, Juventus pulled a goal back.

However, this goal could no longer change the outcome of Juventus' exit, and the Juventus players knew it, so even the perverse Pogba did not celebrate after the goal, but waved his arms as he ran towards the centre circle with the football.

Allegri applauded from the sidelines for the goal, at least Juventus were not shaved and they scored a goal to save a little face.

……

The game time passed quickly.

Seven minutes later, as soon as stoppage time arrived, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"The game is over, the game is over, Liverpool won Juventus 3-1 at home, Jiang Chenxi passed and shot, and participated in the third goal, he led Liverpool to revenge, they reached the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League!"

"3-2 away in the first leg, 3-1 at home in the second leg, Liverpool eliminated Juventus 6-3 on aggregate!"

Before the whistle blew at the end of the game, Jiang Chenxi stood on the sidelines with his teammates on the bench and waited, and when the whistle blew, he stood on the sidelines, raising his arms high to announce his victory.

The road to the conquest of Europe.

Start with revenge on Juventus!
