Chapter 171: Fight Back
In the locker room, Heynckes was already angry and began to explain the second half.
'At the start of the second half we had to start a counter-attack, we had to score as soon as possible so that we had enough time to turn the game around, Glenn (Johnson) and Fabio [Aurelio] you have to take the opportunity to step up and assist, in the first half you didn't show our tactical effect on both sides at all, Lucas you need to pay more attention to the defense, Xavi [Alonso] also needs to fill in according to the situation, I don't want to see them easily penetrate the middle ......"
The absence of Pony Jr. also had a big impact on the team, and Lucas simply didn't have his defensive ability.
In the end, Hai Gonggong added: "This is only the second group game, even if we lose this game, we have enough games to qualify, you don't need to have too much pressure. ”
Hai Gonggong means that you have to fight back in the second half, but don't worry if you don't succeed, this game can be allowed to lose.
But Liu Ting doesn't think so, this game must be won, and those guys must be good-looking.
At the beginning of the second half, the whole Liverpool team counterattacked according to Heynckes' instructions.
In the 47th minute, Glenn Johnson made a long diagonal pass from the right, Liu Ting received the ball and burst into the left rib of the penalty area to hit the goal at a small angle, and was saved by the opponent's French goalkeeper Frei.
Xavi Alonso's corner is headed high by Gerrard.
In the 49th minute, Gerrard passed the ball in the middle, and Kuyt's powerful shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Frei again.
In the 51st minute, Torres' long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area was confiscated by Frei.
Liverpool launched a steady stream of attacks, Fiorentina defended solidly, and the Italian team's defensive DNA is top.
On the sidelines, Fiorentina manager Cesare Prandelli looked like he had a pearl of wisdom in his hands.
Prandelli is also an Italian coach, although he has no experience in coaching giants, but he has also coached Parma, Fiorentina and other Serie A powerhouses, and can lead the team to play good results, such as the current Fiorentina under his leadership, every season is a strong contender for Champions League qualification.
After next year's World Cup, Prandelli will take over the Italian national team and lead the Italian team to the final of Euro 12.
Prandelli is a coach who is indeed a bit of a level, he naturally knows this situation, as long as he withstands Liverpool's counterattack at the beginning of the second half, this game will be won for most of the game, so in the midfield he arranged detailed tactics for the Fiorentina players to execute, he believes that his team can withstand this wave of attack.
In the 55th minute, Kuyt crossed the road, and Liu Ting's header was blocked by the opposing defender Gambellini.
In the 60th minute, Torres did it back and Xavi Alonso shot wide under interference.
After attacking for more than ten minutes, the rhythm of both teams began to slow down, and the continuous attack was too physically demanding, even if they had to attack, they had to slow down first.
Watching the pace of the game slow down, Prandelli on the sidelines finally felt a lot more relieved, although he believed that his team could withstand it, but no one knew what it would be like until he really stood up.
In the following time, the two teams began to slow down, and the scene turned into a tug-of-war.
At this point, both teams need to breathe a sigh of relief.
Liu Ting doesn't think so, the more time passes, the more difficult it becomes for Liverpool to turn around.
In the 69th minute, Fiorentina reversed the ball at the back, Liu Ting, Torres and Kuyt pressed in the front, but Liu Ting and Torres looked more like symbolic pressing, and only the physical madman Kuyt kept pressing the opponent.
Kuyt's side grabbed fiercely, and the ball naturally shifted to the left side, which was less fiercely robbed.
Fiorentina's Marcioni casually passed back to full-back Comoto, but Liu Ting was hiding behind and suddenly accelerated.
“o…… Dangerous! The fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim.
When Comoto was about to receive the ball, Liu Ting caught up with the ball and flicked it gently, the ball changed to the right, and Liu Ting flashed the opponent and dribbled the ball to the penalty area.
Fiorentina's other defender, Danielli, immediately stepped forward to fill in the position, but Liu Ting took advantage of the situation to pull the ball.
"Beautiful...... Marseille maneuver! The England commentator said excitedly.
A Marseille maneuver passed Danielly, and Liu Ting had already singled out.
Fiorentina's goalkeeper Frei, who is in good form today, attacked, and Liu Ting chose to play a small goal.
The ball passed through the crotch with precision, and no one could stop the ball's trajectory.
“Gooooooal!!! Liu, beautiful goal! Steal in front of the court and counterattack and shoot a goal! ”
Liu Ting's beautiful goal made Frankie Stadium quiet for a moment, but Liu Ting's rush to the sidelines to boo the home fans stimulated them, and the audience immediately booed, and all kinds of insults were indispensable.
Liu Ting simply celebrated and soon returned to the pitch to kick off, and Liverpool needed to continue scoring goals if they wanted to turn around.
The game restarted, and Liverpool took advantage of the opportunity to attack again.
In the 74th minute, Glenn Johnson's cross from the right, Fiorentina defender Gambellini's header was not cleared, Xavi Alonso on the periphery hoisted the ball into the penalty area again, and Liu Ting threw off Danielly who was guarding him on the left side of the penalty area and swept away.
Frei was quick to react this time, but the shot was so close that he couldn't change direction when he touched the ball, and the ball flew into the net.
“Gooooooal!!! It was still Liu, Liu scored again, and Liverpool equalized! ”
"Liu scored two goals in five minutes to help Liverpool equalise on his own!"
Prandley on the sidelines spat wildly on the field, in fact, he knew that it was not a player error, it was the sudden frenzy of the opposing star that changed the game, especially the first goal was scored by the Chinese alone, which is the most hated situation by the manager, which is not at all limited by tactics.
And then the second goal is more because the player has not yet come out of the blow of conceding the goal, and the opponent seized the opportunity to score another goal.
Prandelli on the sidelines suddenly felt that a point at home would be a good result.
Fiorentina then contracted even tighter under the direction of the manager, with just over ten minutes left on the game and holding on for a draw.
The home fans in the stands also changed their mentality, no longer thinking about getting three points, the opponent is the defending champions, and it is not bad to get a point at home, anyway, Fiorentina only needs a place in the group, and does not need to compete with the opponent for the first place in the group.
Otherwise, with the other party's current offensive and the Chinese's perversion, maybe something will happen.
Under such a change, the game time passed minute by minute, the score continued to remain at 2:2, and Liverpool had the advantage on the field but did not have too good chances.
By the 88th minute, there was not much time left.
Liverpool attacked again in front, Xavi Alonso moved the ball to Liu Ting on the left, and the Fiorentina players were immediately on the verge of being a big enemy.
Liu Ting took the ball and dribbled two steps, and immediately two people came up to wrap him, Liu Ting returned the ball to Gerrard in the middle, Gerrard saw a gap in the defense line that appeared in an instant, and stuffed the ball directly into the line without stopping.
Liu Ting ran forward when he returned the ball, and Gerrard really tacitly stuffed the ball, but Liu Ting still had to face the two defenders of the opponent when he got the ball.
Liu Ting stepped on the ball, Gambellini came up to force it, and at the moment of being deducted, he secretly hit Liu Ting's shoulder, Liu Ting stumbled, and Danielli was ready to take advantage of Liu Ting's unstable center of gravity to cut off the ball.
At the last moment of the important game, if the score was not opened, the referee would generally be cautious about the penalty, and the opponent hit the person just now was very hidden, Liu Ting did not fall to the ground to bet on the referee's penalty, but tried to stabilize his body and then control the ball.
Originally, Danielley had already judged the direction of the ball, Liu Ting stumbled and his center of gravity was unstable, he could easily get the ball, but Liu Ting stumbled and accidentally poked the ball on his toes, and the ball passed between his legs.
"Beautiful...... Wear the crotch! ”
"Liu just seemed to be slipping or something, but when the center of gravity was unstable, a crotch piercing person passed Danielley." When the picture came to the explanation, it became Liu Ting's deliberate action.
Danielly was accidentally crotched and couldn't catch up, Liu Ting stabilized his body and immediately caught up with the ball, Frey had to strike again, Liu Ting volleyed into the near corner of the goal before he got close.
Frei did his best to make a save, but the ball flew past and into the net before his hands could reach it.
“Gooooooooal!!! The ball is in! Hat-trick! Liu scored a hat-trick and he helped Liverpool complete a big comeback, which was unbelievable! "Most of the commentators on this game are saying the word unbelievable.
Zhan Jun was saying: "This is Liu Ting's first Champions League hat trick, and his first hat trick after joining Liverpool. ”
"But this is not the first hat-trick of Liu Ting's career, he has scored three hat-tricks during his time in Bordeaux, one against Monaco in Ligue 1, one against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup, and one against Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup, just now this is the fourth hat-trick of his career."
Well, the Premier League living dictionary is starting to flip through the books again.
Liu Ting, who scored the goal, also wanted to fight back against the Fiorentina fans, but when he rushed to the sidelines, he was stopped by his teammates, and everyone ravaged him to celebrate, and after a while, he became a stacked arhat.
Liverpool's celebration ended, and there was not much time left in the game, Liverpool's deliberate delay time, coupled with the substitutions in Heynckes' hands, Zheng Zhi got another opportunity to show his face in an important game, which allowed Liverpool to successfully keep the score until the end.
At the end of the game, Fiorentina teenager Jovetic, who scored twice in the first half, came to Liu Ting to exchange jerseys, and Liu Ting happily agreed.
Jovetic was the most beautiful player of the game in the first half, scoring twice against the defending champions, and if it wasn't for Liu Ting's power in the second half, he would have been the most beautiful player in the game. However, now that Fiorentina have lost the game, Jovetic is more likely to win titles such as 'good performer' and 'young player with great potential'.
At the post-match press conference, Liu Ting first said: "To be able to win this game, I should thank a Fiorentina fan, because I was a little hungry before the game started but didn't eat, my performance in the first half was not good enough, but this fan sent a few bananas at the end of the half, which touched me very much, filled my stomach, and I had enough strength to score in the second half." ”
The reporter's lights are flashing wildly, and this is definitely the highlight of tomorrow's news.
Everyone knows that Liu Ting is fighting back against the discriminatory behavior of Fiorentina fans, and he is also mocking the other party.
Prandelli on the side said with a dark face: "We didn't lose to Liverpool, we just lost to one person. ”
However, as for the banana incident, Fiorentina was silent, and Liverpool did not pursue it too much if they won, just protest and forget it, because this is really commonplace in Italy.
Black Italian players like Balotelli are racially abused almost every game, but he rarely criticizes it, because he grew up in Italy and knows what the Italian football environment is like.
Of course, it may also be that the brain-damaged child does not care about this.
