Volume 3 Chapter 27 The Line of Life and Death (Part II)
Anfield has been transformed into a volcano, and the atmosphere is frozen!
Rodriguez had already walked to the sidelines, and on the big screen above the stands, the clock was pointing to eighteen minutes.
"Boom, ......, haha", this is not ignition, but laughter, and the whole stands are laughing at Marseille.
Changing people in eighteen minutes is unheard of, but at Anfield, it really happened.
In addition to the passive substitutions due to injuries, they seem to have set a record for the time of active substitution adjustments, in addition to being a blow to the players who were replaced, it is also a complete negation of the coach's own lineup.
Egeret wasn't stunned, he wasn't unaware of it, but there was nothing he could do.
The Marseille players on the pitch have been completely blinded, and if they continue to concede goals, he fears that the team will completely collapse on the pitch, which will be a slaughter for them.
Victory, he doesn't have time to think about this now, the most important thing now is to stabilize his position.
The fourth referee had already picked up the substitution card and was about to raise it at the time of the dead ball, and the referee turned his head to look at it and made a mental note.
Liverpool are still attacking frantically, the ball is still at their feet, and the two forwards and two wing-backs in front of Egerre are four small men, which is his biggest failure today, and the area is not hard enough when defending.
He wanted to see the agility of the small men, the speed and coordination of the counter-attack, but before they could use it, the team was about to collapse.
The ball had been running on the edge of the Marseille penalty area, and Mackin picked up the ball that had just been pushed out of the box by the Marseille defenders and continued to attack.
They don't have the time to do anything else now, they just want to completely vent this anger and reach the peak of madness.
"Whew......"
"Liverpool, rush to ......", the city's large and small red bars are already in a mess, not the same.
They haven't had this season this season, and how many times the team has played has been scared.
Today's fight is happy, and they shout even more!
Mackin was on the edge of the box to get the ball, his team-mates in front of him and left and right, leaving only one Skrtel at the back, with Aager and Cahill both pressing up.
"Macklin, chest stop, nice getaway, now the ball can't leave Marseille's big penalty area at all, Liverpool's attack is endless", Zhan Jun said after Macqin stopped the ball in the box again and re-engaged in the organization.
"Liverpool are really crazy", Zhang Lu said, "Makqin and Gerrard are in great shape"
After stopping the ball on his chest just now, Macqin shook Niang who pounced on him with a fake action.
A striker's defense is nothing but nothing, and he is not a beauty or a Firmino.
With a knock on his heel, it was given to Alonso behind him, and the positions of his teammates were all in his mind.
'Mark, give the ball to Alonso, cut forward, have a nice backheel, it's a pleasure to watch him play,' said Peterson.
McManaman looked at the sidelines and said: "It is estimated that Marseille will be replaced after this attack, they don't have a special midfielder today, and they can't defend Mark at all."
'Alonso, handed over to Mark who turned around, he faced the goal on the edge of the penalty area, which was his danger zone'
"Mark, feint, left-footed ball, do you want to shoot?" , Peterson looked at Makqin who was swinging the ball horizontally on the right side of the penalty area.
Cana tried to reach out to block his long shot, but he didn't want to shoot at all, and the ball went under his right leg with a knock on the arch of his left foot.
There is Gerald with his back in front of him, and Kuyt with his back.
Mackin quickly increased the frequency, and after knocking the ball, he immediately turned back and inserted it into the ribs of the penalty area with the force of nudging Cana.
'Mark, he didn't have a long-range shot, he pushed it to Gerrard on his back, and they had to play together,' said Peterson.
'Steven Gerrard, Kuyt, nice triangle pass, Mark, Marc, he got the ball diagonally behind Kuyt's left foot, good chance, Liverpool broke through the Marseille backline'
Mack Qin led the ball with his left foot, and in the small space, only the goalkeeper in the near corner was left in front of him, and it was too late for their back line to turn back!
He didn't hesitate, he picked up his right leg directly, and the inside instep slammed into the middle of the ball.
The ball swished, stuck to the turf, through the small goal of Mandanda, who had not had time to fall to the ground, and flew directly into the goal from the near corner.
"Goaaaaal......, 3:0, Marc, Marc, he broke the goal of Marseille again, the Marseille defense was nothing for him, the game was over"
"The ball is in again", Zhan Jun also shouted, "Macqin played a delicate triangle with his teammates in front of the penalty area, and penetrated Marseille's back line at once"
The moment Mackin saw the ball in the net, he turned around and ran towards the fan zone, and suddenly plunged into the sea of red.
"Roar......", "Mark, good", "Well done, Mark", "We're making the cut......"
There were plenty of fans listening to the score of the other Group D match in real time, with Atletico Madrid leading PSV Eindhoven 1-0 at home.
As long as the scores of the two teams remain until the end, unless Liverpool lose to PSV Eindhoven in the last game, they will qualify for the knockout stages by finishing second in the group.
After stumbling for a few months, today finally the clouds are open and the moon is bright.
Will they still lose this game?
Ejere stood on the sidelines in frustration, 20 minutes, 3:0, just as he was about to make a substitution, the team conceded another goal.
It's that Mackqin again, the top scorer in the Champions League last year, he thought it was just an accident, and this year, you see, he only scored a penalty in the first four games.
I didn't expect him to break out in this game, Mel twice, what? Bully honest people!
'Twenty-two minutes into the game, just over a quarter of the game, Marseille took advantage of the break between Liverpool's goals to make substitutions, and it was a real ordeal for them'
Zhang Lu followed Zhan Jun's words and said: "Their biggest task for the rest of this game is to lose a few less, Liverpool is too vigorous, and the cliff of life and death forced out their blood."
"Whew......", "Ah......", "Oh......", the Liverpool players were excited and depressed on the sidelines one by one, and they were happy in this game.
Mackin was even happier, and the moment he stayed, he was faced with proof that he was right to stay.
If the team's results are too dismal, how can you prove it?
If he falls behind Manchester City, he will only be ridiculed.
Although he didn't have time to worry about these things with them, he wouldn't send the opportunity to the door and look for abuse himself.
Now he wants to declare that as long as he is in the team, he will never be bad!
"It's over," McManaman said with a relaxed smile, "There will be no surprises, Liverpool have no hope of topping the group, and they have an absolute advantage in second place"
Peterson flipped through the information and said to the camera: "But if Liverpool advances to the second place in the group, they will meet strong teams in advance, let's take a look at the current group winners"
"According to the rules, excluding the top three groups in the Premier League, there is also Atletico Madrid in this group, and the other four groups are currently top of the group are Inter Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid."
"Huh", Maika said with a smile, "If there is no change, the round of 16 will be staged in advance."
'Let's see who they will meet this year, Liverpool have not had a lot of luck this year and the draw for the round of 16 will take place in mid-December once all the group stage has been completed'
The off-field game is still going on, but the minds of the two commentators have already flown to the top 16.
In this game, Marseille was played like this, and there really will be no chance of a comeback, not to mention that they also replaced a striker Niang.
The rest of the time is just to see how many more Liverpool will score.
……
After scoring three goals in a row, Liverpool finally slowed down their attack, and their mental and physical strength also needed to rest, and more than 20 minutes of exuberant play had reached their limit.
The rhythm is like a cliff fall, and it slows down suddenly, but Marseille also has no courage to fight back.
They are more tired than Liverpool.
They also have to ease their stunned nerves before they can get back on the pitch and play.
The rest of the first half ended so uneventfully, the best meal was eaten in the first twenty minutes, and the rest was tasteless.
However, Liverpool fans were satisfied, and even after the start of the second half, Liverpool did not launch any more decent attacks.
Their two captains, Mark and Steven Gerrard, were substituted in the 65th and 78th minutes respectively.
Both sides are waiting for the game to end, Liverpool have no intention of attacking again, and Marseille have no ability to counterattack.
"Dut...... ......The referee didn't give any stoppage time, and blew the final whistle just after a minute.
Makqin sat up from the bench in a winter jacket, first hugged and celebrated with Gerrard next to him, and then walked out onto the field to celebrate the crucial victory with his teammates.
"The game is over, and in a crucial battle in the group stage of Group D of the Champions League, Mackin led Liverpool to a 3-0 thrashing of Marseille to give the team a head start in the knockout rounds," said Zhan Jun.
"It was the best game of the season for Mackin in the Champions League, he was the top scorer in the Champions League last season, he was a little quiet in the first few games of the season, and this time he finally got his shooting boots back," Zhang Lu followed suit.
"Mark, Mark", the Guardian reporter grabbed Mark Qin, who was celebrating with his teammates.
"First of all, congratulations on this crucial victory, why did you play so well in this game?"
Mackin waved to the cheering fans in the stands before saying to the camera: "We all know in our hearts what this game means to us"
He exhaled a breath of getting colder air and continued: "If we lose, we will go home, for the Premier League champions, the Champions League group cannot be present, it is unacceptable for us and for the fans"
"I couldn't accept it myself, so we got into the groove from the first second and the good thing it was good for us"
The reporter nodded, and then asked: "You scored two goals in this game, you won the top scorer in the Champions League last year, do you still have confidence this year?" ”
"Why not?" , Makqin shrugged, "If we go far enough, anything is possible"
But to be honest, he hasn't thought about it this year, mainly because with Liverpool's state this year, how far he can go, he doesn't know how far he can go.
With fewer games and a natural disadvantage to win the top scorer, they reached the semi-finals last season to beat Cristiano Ronaldo.
Whether he can reach the semi-finals this year, he can't guarantee it.
"You seemed to be very unhappy with Liela in the box at the beginning of the game, and you got angry, are you unhappy with him?"
Fault, I'm not happy that I can tell you!
'No, I was just anxious, the game was crucial for us, that's the way it is, we all have emotions when we play, it's not for anyone'
'Liela is our main player on the left midfielder, he is an important member of us, he has a lot of quality'
It's just that he doesn't know what Liela thinks, and Liella's EQ has a fight with Benitez......
