"Yay~~", the teammates hugged Macqin and roared passionately on the sidelines, and it was very beneficial for them to score an away goal, they had not lost more than two goals away from home in the Champions League for a long time.

So even if they lose in the end, Schalke is unlikely to score three goals against them, and one away goal will give them the advantage in this game.

"Mackqin, he helped Liverpool get a golden away goal, a beautiful header", Duan Xuan looked at Liverpool in a crazy celebration and sighed.

"That's right", Zhang Lu continued, "The two sides are actually a bit evenly matched, there are no particularly good chances, Mackqin's goal may break the balance of power on the field, Schalke must attack, and it is more powerful for players like Torres and Gerrard who need space impact"

Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Schalke probably didn't expect that Liverpool would catch Raphinha and fight non-stop, and they lost the ball before they were ready."

Slom Katen stood up from the dugout and scratched his head as he watched the Liverpool players celebrate wildly, and his tactics were to hold on and then try to score as many opportunities as possible from set-pieces and crosses from both sides.

Now he has to press the attack, and what he worries about is that the veterans will have physical problems in the second half, after all, once they are pressed, the pace of the game will be fast.

Liverpool are not the weak teams that can allow them to press, and the midfielders will inevitably have to run back and forth more.

With boos, Mackin ran towards his own half to kick off again, but Raphinha and Bordon looked at the Liverpool players with their backs crossed, but their headers at the back of the net still gave them the goal.

Bordon had just been caught up in Benayoun's forward cut, with Raphinha's height being a disadvantage in defending headers, especially those that were flushed up.

"Look at their right flank, don't let them cross easily, Koya, pay attention to their Mark outflanking the back post and assist Raphinha," Bordon said as he commanded his team-mates.

There were times when they didn't need a manager to make adjustments on the pitch, with Koya and Raphinha both nodding.

"Oh yes~~", many red bars in Liverpool raised a glass to celebrate, Sam and Harry touched each other in Tony's bar, "Cheers, for Mark", "Cheers, haha~"

"Mark has scored five goals in the Champions League, this is his first time participating in the Champions League, incredible~", Duan Xuan said with admiration.

Liverpool has scored five goals in the Champions League now, and Benayoun has also brushed five.

The game restarted, Schalke 04 strengthened the attack, Makqin retreated to help his defense on the left side, and Raphinha's side still had a strong assist ability.

And now he obviously has the intention of making up for it, his eyes are red, and he keeps flying up and down the right road.

However, Benitez's team, playing defensive counterattacks is a housekeeping skill, and it automatically recycled to its own half, ready to play Schalke 04's counterattack.

Schalke's two midfielders are defensive and impactful, with average organizational skills, Liverpool strangled their two wings, and Schalke's attack was thunderous and rainy.

Crossing can only rely on the individual ability of the two strikers, and Rakitic's inside cut is a common means of Schalke's attack, but Mackqin's recovery allows Benayoun to follow him without hesitation.

Mack was on a par with Raphinha today, knowing that he couldn't match Raphinha in terms of speed, but his anticipation and positioning made Rakitic, who wanted to pass the ball to Raphinha, very uncomfortable.

At the end of the first half, there were no shocks, Liverpool only wanted to hold on to a goal advantage into the second half, Schalke could not recover the score, and Liverpool led 1-0 into the second half.

"Okay, audience friends, the first half of the Champions League round of 16 Schalke vs. Liverpool is over, Liverpool relied on a wonderful pass by Alonso, and Mackin beat Raphinha at the back post and scored a beautiful header", Duan Xuan said at halftime.

Zhang Lu also said: "This is more beneficial to Liverpool, Benitez's team is a counterattack, Schalke can't attack in the second half."

"Coach Zhang, what do you think of the arrangement of the head coaches on both sides of the first half?" , Duan Xuan asked.

"In the first half, both teams actually played well and played what they were good at, but Schalke 04, probably because he was afraid of the speed of Liverpool's front, he didn't dare to press it," Zhang Lu said.

"Originally, they kept well in the first 35 minutes, but I didn't expect it to be a mistake, and they were caught by Mackqin, and in the back point in a short period of time, two consecutive headers hit the goal, Neuer saved once, and the second time Mackin was obviously prepared, and deliberately topped a bounce of the earth, this kind of ball goalkeeper is very difficult to judge"

Duan Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is the difference between stars and ordinary players, their ability to seize opportunities is very strong, maybe one or two opportunities can change the game"

It was a double day in the dressing room, the Liverpool players were relaxed, Schalke 04's dressing room was solemn, and Slomka kept repeating that we were going to attack.

Schalke's players all bowed their heads, the atmosphere was dull, Slomka's prestige was still lower, and many times their dressing room relied on the statements of some of the veteran players.

"We counter-attacked in the second half," Benitez said happily, and the first half was able to take the lead, the second half was more advantageous for them, and he trusted the pace of Reis and Gerrard to have more opportunities to play in the second half.

Indeed it is.

At the beginning of the second half, Schalke 04 was in an embarrassing situation of wanting to press the attack but afraid of counterattacking, and the back line was a little disjointed.

Mack Qin repeatedly swam the ball in the gap between the back line and the midfield line to launch counterattacks, and if Torres hadn't been in a hurry to run a few steps early and was successfully made offside by Schalke, maybe the score would have become 2-0 long ago.

Sometimes it's like that, once the equilibrium is broken, maybe there are more chances and the scene becomes better.

Finally, in the 65th minute, Mackqin assisted in the left-back position, and Enrique cut off a through pass that Rakitic had given to Raphinha.

Mackin sent a long left-footed pass to the right flank, and Gerrard quickly cut in and strode into the box, before crossing in front of Neuer and slotting into the net with Torres, who followed him.

Two to zero.

Shortly after the goal, Benitez replaced Benayoun and Mackin for Kuyt and Liela in an obvious effort to strengthen the defence.

In the end, the score was also kept to the end, and Liverpool defeated Schalke 04 2-0 away to win the first chance to enter the quarterfinals!

The Liverpool players didn't overcelebrate at Schalke Stadium, after all, it was someone's home stadium.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Slomka said: "Thirty-five minutes ago everything was going well until they scored a goal"

'Everything changed from that goal, they had very fast strikers and we didn't dare to press the back line'

'They took advantage of the gap in our back in the second half and they were the better side tonight, but the series is not over yet, they can win on our home ground and we won't give up next month when we get to their home stadium'

Benitez said: 'I'm happy for Mark's performance, he helped us break the deadlock, he was always smart on the pitch and it is still today'

"As long as he keeps doing like this, he's going to be one of the best players in the world"

Liverpool rushed back to Liverpool overnight because the league was three days away and they still had to fight for the league title.

Compared to the uncertainty of the Champions League, the league title today is closer to them, and it can be seen and touched.

"Mark helps Liverpool pass again"

"Benitez: He will become one of the best players in the world"

"England semi-finals, Manchester United Liverpool takes the lead in qualifying"

The next day, the match was covered in major newspapers in England and Germany, especially Germany's "Kicker", which featured the record-breaking 16-year-old Chinese star Mack Qin in a large film.

"The best 16-year-old player in the world right now," they said.

'Nobody has achieved anything like Mark at 16 and he's only 17 in three months' time, but he's already in the squad at Liverpool'

"Even Messi and Ronaldo only showed their power after the first team adapted, but Mark doesn't seem to need this adaptation transition at all"

'He did well as a substitute last year and after the New Year, Benitez put him in a number nine and a half position, and his goals and assists were out of control'

"We have to ask, is there really someone who is born to play football? His performance on the pitch is like an old fritter who has been talking about football for 20 years, which comes from Schalke right-back Raphinha's assessment"

The Kicker has gone out of its way to praise Macklin, and the English media has not been far behind: Mark may be a completely new player who has no template, and he may create a position or a style of play.

We know that any player has outstanding seniors who have reached or surpassed their achievements in the same way, and that's their natural template.

When Markqin debuted, he was once considered by Marco to be a template for Haji, and later some people thought he was Pirlo, but when he played nine and a half times, everyone was blind.

He naturally knows how to play!

Everyone thought of the same thing that Guardiola said when he called that night.

There is no template or adjective that can simply describe what type of player Marken is.

He's a tactic in his own right!

Because Mack has experienced the bombardment of tactical revolution in later generations, he never fell into the rules of coaches when he was in Cocoby, because he knew that these coaches would be eliminated sooner or later.

What really will not be eliminated is only change, according to the opponent, according to the teammates, every game is a new beginning, he just needs to know the basic foundation.

Like a stack of bricks, he tries to learn different individual parts, not the whole shape, and when the time comes, he will take out these prepared blocks on the field and build the shape he wants, rather than sticking to how to play.

He made more people realize that even if they don't have a top-level body or top-level technology, as long as they are smart enough, they can become a top-level star!
