Reyna stood in the aisle, looking at everything he had once known, and greeted several players opposite, Dudek was abandoned by Benitez after winning the Champions League with Liverpool, and at this time, Villarreal's goalkeeper Reina arrived at Anfield.

The other one who followed Reina's path was Bruno, and if you really want to talk about it, the two teams really have a lot of connections.

Just as the Hillsborough case was restarted, Love Song Stadium once played a slogan "96, you will never walk alone" in a league game, spontaneously showing solidarity and support.

Even their nickname, "Yellow Submarine", have an indissoluble bond with Liverpool.

Because the term first came out of the best-selling single of the Beatles from Liverpool, and because Villarreal wore a yellow jersey and his results were as elusive as a submarine every year, and he would surface at any time, the nickname was called.

However, the Yellow Submarine fans will not be so enthusiastic today, as it is a Champions League quarter-final tie and they will only greet the Reds with the biggest boos, and they will be hoping for a repeat of the feat of reaching the last four of the Champions League three years ago.

“…… The Champions ......", as the Champions League theme song played in the stadium came to an end, and the players of both teams followed the referee into the stadium, which was not very worthy of the Champions League.

The stadium can only accommodate more than 20,000 people, so there are few Liverpool fans in the stadium, and the most surprising thing is that the dressing room passage is in the southwest corner of the stadium, which is very different from most practices of putting the passage in the middle.

With the smoke of gunfire, the Champions League was rekindled, and Manchester United vs Porto was also played at the same time.

"Hello audience friends, the two teams have settled their respective positions after the opening ceremony, the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 final Villarreal vs. Liverpool is about to start, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams", Zhan Jun's voice sounded on time.

"Liverpool's side is still their traditional starting line-up, nothing has changed, Chinese superstar Mackin is still sitting in midfield, he has been in very good form recently, and I look forward to him giving a wonderful performance to the majority of domestic fans in this game."

"On the other hand, Villarreal has become more familiar to domestic fans in recent years, they are a long-standing team in La Liga, with former Laco star in the team, Capdevilla, as well as the main defender of former Spain, Senna, and Italian golden boy Rossi"

Zhang Lu answered on the side: "On the bench, they also have the veteran Pire, and the Turkish veteran Nihat, who are also well-known figures, but it is worth noting that the quasi-newcomer Godin of the Yellow Submarine defense, this Uruguayan guy has just transferred for two seasons and is already the backbone of their defense."

"That's right", Zhan Jun nodded and said, "Godin has played an important role in Villarreal's backline this year, and whether he can defend against the Spanish golden boy Torres today depends mainly on his performance."

"Oh yes......", with a sudden cry from the love song stands, the game officially began.

Rossi kicked the ball back to Senna, the metronome of the yellow submarine, and Senna unhurriedly transmitted the ball to the back line.

Their tempo has not been fast this season, and it has been more about teamwork and the skill of the Spanish players at their feet to create chances.

This is also a helpless move, because there are only three or four people under the age of 30 who start the game, most of them are in their early 30s, and there are two veterans of 34, including Senna, who can't be fast if they want to.

But these people have been playing together all year round, and the tacit understanding and cooperation are quite skillful, and the players in the team are either from Spain or South America, and the only Italian Rossi is also a small man, so the technical ability of the whole team should not be underestimated.

Mackin watched the video of the Yellow Submarine knocking out Panathinaikos in the round of 16 and the group stage, and knew that the key to playing it was not to let him rely on his skills to pass up and give them the opportunity to cooperate near the penalty area, which is how most of their goals were scored.

So as soon as the game opened, Liverpool's front trio followed by Macqin pressed towards the yellow, and Macqin pressed Senna.

As Liverpool pressed forward, the Yellow Submarine did not rush forward, but the whole team followed, and striker Llorent (not Bilbao's) also returned to his own half, leaving only a small man Rossi in front.

The average Spanish team is not particularly afraid of pressing, even the defenders have the courage to play footwork under the pressing, today's yellow submarine is, the back line after a few inverted feet, the ball out of Liverpool's pressing range, only to push the ball to the front of the midfielder.

This is a kind of patience and rhythm, no wonder they can reach the quarterfinals, they have formed a complete whole, if it is not for the individual ability gap of the players, it may be a strong side, but fortunately, Liverpool is also very strong, the responsibilities and positions of each player are quite clear, and the two teams fell into a stalemate in the midfield for a while.

"Villarreal played their character, in their home stadium, they didn't panic in front of Liverpool, everyone dared to take the ball and dribble," Zhan Jun explained.

"Eh, that's right", Zhang Lu replied, "Spanish teams have this characteristic, they are not too afraid of the general front-court pressing, today because it is an away game, Liverpool did not dare to press the defense line too closely"

The fans in the love song stands have spared no effort to cheer for the team, and this small seaside town has been able to play the role of a dark horse in European competitions year after year, which has made their fans full of confidence and dare to call out to any team.

The game lasted more than 20 minutes, and neither side got any absolute chances, during which a direct pass from the side of the Yellow Submarine almost gave Rossi a chance to form a single knife, but Skrtel returned in time to carry Rossi, allowing Reina to confiscate the ball first.

Liverpool also had a great chance when Mack Qin played the ball to Alonso in time for the pack, and Alonso made a long pass in front of Gerrard, but in the end Gerrard's low cross slid past the goalkeeper and neither Torres nor Kuyt touched the ball.

The two teams that met for the first time in Europe were full of caution at the beginning, putting a lot of energy into defense, and as a result, after 20 minutes, the two teams were half-hearted, and even the possession rate was about the same.

Mackin is also constantly feeling and observing Villarreal's style of play, although they are all Spanish teams, but they are more Spanish than Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, frequently interspersed with running and cooperating with passing, no wonder in recent years, he has been able to circle a large number of fans with his dick body.

The reason is that they play gorgeously and beautifully, most of the time they mainly use short and medium passes, and the players do not drag the mud and water, only a few long passes, which are also sent by Senna.

Mark Qin glanced at the time on the big screen, thinking that he was almost tempted, he didn't dare to press up for more than 20 minutes, just because he was afraid that there would be any special arrangements for the opening of the Yellow Submarine, so don't be caught off guard, it's better to be stable.

It seems that Pellegrini is really not used to being a surprising coach, Mackin has the impression that whether he coaches Real Madrid, Malaga, Manchester City or China Happiness, he will play at his own pace step by step, which is also a coach who has his own world in his chest.

The abbreviation is that Lao Tzu is not good at adjusting the command on the spot, you bite me! , Uncle Scumbag ran all the way behind him, master, wait for me......

When the temptation is over, just do it! With Mackin kicking the hanging door nearly 45 meters away above the crossbar, both teams opened the horn of attack at the same time.

"López, kick off the goal, oh, Liverpool suddenly pressed up, he had to kick it off, Ague and Llorente competed for the top, the second drop point, Eguren, was stabbed away by Mackqin, Alonso got the ball and handed it to Enrique"

Manuel Pellegrini and Villarreal players suddenly saw Mackin come alive up front, with him everywhere, on the left and in the middle.

How to defend Mack has been a problem for the coaches of the teams since this season, because he is not like a striker, you can always stick to him, he is a midfielder who is running around.

There's basically nothing you can do to suppress him, except that your midfielder is more controlling than Liverpool.

So this time Pellegrini didn't bother to do that, and if he didn't get it right, he messed up his defensive system, that is, regional co-defense, and focused on defense in key areas.

The ball was reversed by Mackin and Alonso left and right, because the Villarreal back line has five men, basically not recklessly forward, and their movements are all integrated, so there are no obvious gaps.

Mack Qin didn't easily play behind him, so it was easier to lose the ball and play positional battles, so Liverpool's current strength was also above Villarreal, and Liverpool slowly pressed the yellow submarine back to the penalty area of their side.

It's a battle of tempo between the two teams, with Villarreal always in need of possession to create chances, and they don't have a high threat of counter-attacking.

Mack Qin just can't let them get their wish, their main lineup is really on the verge of Dacheng now, you have to have speed, you have to control and control, and the defense is solid, otherwise it is impossible to smash Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.

This time they played another exquisite team game.

Marc moved to the area he was most accustomed to attacking, and received a pass from Gerrard, and the Liverpool trident was on the right side of the team, near the opponent's penalty area, and the cooperation became more and more tacit.

He feigned a breakthrough, took two steps forward without dribbling the ball, and directly deflected the opposing Uruguayan midfielder Egulen, and the four goals he scored at the Bernabeu were all in this area, so he couldn't help but not be nervous.

As a result, after a move, Mackin changed from facing the goal's offensive direction to side-to-goal, the ball went to the outside of his left foot, and shook off the passing gap.

This is the shadow of the tree of man's name, which is called deterrence.

"Macqin, beautiful getaway, arc ball diagonally pass to the back of the penalty area", Zhan Jun raised his voice a little, because he saw Macqin directly with his left foot and passed into the penalty area.

"Good ball, who is that, Kuyt", this time Zhan Jun shouted, and a red figure directly broke out from a row of yellow defenders and went straight to the ball landing point.

Goalkeeper Lopes scrambled to the near corner, and Villarreal's defence quickly retreated to prevent Kuyt's possible header from being crossed.

The ball flew to the outside of the small penalty area, and Kuyt jumped high, but he did not go in the direction of the small penalty area, but completely turned his back to the bottom line, and smashed the ball back to the penalty spot with his forehead.

'Kuyt, header back, Alonso, Alonso up'

Alonso wanted to swing his left leg to volley, but when he saw Senna coming back not far in front, he temporarily changed his mind, arched his left foot, and directly half-turned to make the ball to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

It's the guard with the knife who came up, Ag!

His Premier League debut goal was a heavy bombardment 40 meters away, don't look at his stature, but the explosiveness of his calves is very good, and the ball kicked out is urgent and fast!

Now that the top of the arc of the penalty area is empty, Agger comfortably picked up his left leg and slammed it on the ball.

The ball was really like a white light, and with a "bang", it jumped past the two yellow defenses in the penalty area against the turf, and then blasted into the goal at a speed that Lopes didn't have time to react at all.

Even if it is played back in slow motion, there is an afterimage, which shows how fast it is!

"Ball...... Enter...... ......, Liverpool, guards with knives, Daniel Agger ......", Zhan Jun shouted loudly, accompanied by a swift goal.

"Good ball, Liverpool's series of cooperation", Zhang Lu also shouted, "Both teams are playing positional battles today, and Liverpool took the lead in scoring goals, Ague came up very unexpectedly, it should be Mascherano who dragged behind, and Liverpool players are becoming more and more flexible in this position"

After the goal, Agger, like Gerrard, excitedly lifted his shirt and put it on his head, revealing his tattoos, and ran frantically to the sidelines, but this made him look wilder.

Mack chases and runs up to celebrate, this is the result he expected, the two teams play so slowly and methodically, and the final win must be Liverpool, nothing else, is the difference in star ability.

As long as Villarreal is not allowed to play the rhythm they are used to, they can't win just by the ability of the players, Pellegrini pulled his hair and stood up from the dugout, the game was not good......
