After seeing the quality of Gerrard's long-range shot, Flores knew that the second half of the game would certainly not be so comfortable, and Benitez's Liverpool would not be comfortable at the Mestalla Stadium.

Sure enough, in the following game time, Liverpool's defensive focus was more on cutting off the passing routes between Valencia's midfielders, which made them only have to pass the football horizontally or backwards, but in this way, the pressure on the Liverpool backline dropped in a straight line.

At the same time, it will also increase the pressure on your own defense.

After cutting off the connection between Valencia's midfielders and strikers, Liverpool's attacking opportunities have become more numerous, with fast horses like Cendon and Bellamy on the wings, and Kuyt, who is at the front, is also a striker who is good at seizing opportunities, making Valencia's defenders dare not slack off.

Liverpool's midfielders Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso both have excellent long-range shots, taking care of the wide defense while also taking care of the defense in the middle, which is a bit difficult for Valencia, who are not good at defending in the first place.

It's not without good news for them, though, at least they haven't conceded a goal in that time.

Seeing his teammates forced into defense, Iroh also realized that he needed to increase the number of times he had the ball to help the team relieve the pressure on the defense, because the best defense is the offense!

If the team didn't step up when they needed help the most, then they definitely didn't deserve the honor and status they have now.

※※※

"Liverpool's possession improved significantly since the start of the second half, and if it wasn't restricted, Valencia's goal was going to be in danger...... 'Hyde said, frowning, '...... The team is in danger and as the team's number one star, Ai must step up at this time and help the team establish an image......

The director of the Mestalla Stadium took advantage of the time when Riser went to ask the caddie on the sidelines for a football, quickly switched a camera, and then aimed at Iro, and used technical means to narrow the distance, giving him a close-up of the face push.

Iroh frowned.

"It seems that he is also very unhappy with the team's passivity during this time."

A minute later, Valencia finally used the integrity of the defence to force Xavi Alonso to pass to wide player Cendon with little power, and the ball was pushed back by Moretti, Baraja appeared in the first drop of the ball, and then passed the ball to Ballack in front of him.

After Ballack got the football, he habitually looked up at Iello's position, but at this moment, he found that there was an opposing player who wanted to fight back in the front court, so he pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot, and turned the ball 360 degrees in place, avoiding Gerrard's top grab.

However, because of his such a ball-protecting action, he also missed the best time to find Ailo with a long pass at the first time, and Mascherano had already run towards Ailo, so he could only choose to pass the ball to David Silva, who retreated to his own arc.

As soon as the Liverpool players saw Valencia take the initiative to slow down the counterattack, they slowly ran back, and they did not have the impatience when they saw Ballack swinging his feet and preparing a long pass.

Seeing that his teammates didn't pass the ball long, Ielo had to run a few steps back, because Carragher and Arbeloa both ran two steps forward, which means that he was in an offside position, and if he didn't run back, it would affect the rhythm of the team's attack.

Sure enough, the team also slowly advanced to Liverpool's defensive 30-meter area, but it was still a bit difficult to continue to pass inside, because there were too many people in the middle, and they could only choose to pass the ball horizontally or back.

With the Liverpool backline retreating, Iello moved to the touchline on the left side of the attack and was given a little space to get the ball, and before he could reach for it, David Silva's ball was passed to him.

This foot is more than 20 meters away from the earth, and the speed is very fast.

※※※

Mascherano has a good defensive position, completely blocking the route that Airo can break through the in-cut, and while watching Ailo, he also pays attention to the passing routes around him, because he has tasted such sweetness before, he can steal and organize the attack, and it would be even more wonderful if he could directly assist and score after the steal.

He saw a large void behind Iroh.

At this moment, David Silva, who was in possession of the ball, suddenly twisted the ball and passed the ball with the arch of his left foot in the direction of Elo, which made Mascherano's eyes light up and he realized that the opportunity he was waiting for had arrived.

With the preparation of the previous move, he was able to pick up the speed in a short period of time, and then made a sliding tackle to keep the ball at his feet, although he seemed to underestimate the acceleration of the ball on the water-soaked turf.

"Mascherano falls to the ground!!" The BBC commentator shouted violently, but his emotions quickly subdued because the Argentine Mascherano did not tackle the football in the camera.

Instead, Sky commentator Andy Gray, who was sitting next to him, shouted: "Leaked!! ”

A sense of excitement could be clearly heard in his tone.

A large part of the reason why Iello didn't play well in this game was that Mascherano defended him too tightly and didn't give him any room to relax, and Mascherano is now on the turf, and Andy Gray can imagine this is a great opportunity with his toes!

Originally, Iello had already run back to prepare for the defense, but he didn't expect Mascherano's tackle to catch the ball and not tackle the football, and his excellent body reaction speed made him catch the ball and turn in one go.

David Silva, who had just finished the ball, was also relieved, then turned a corner and ran ahead.

aiaiaiaaii――

At the same time, the home fans in the stands suddenly shouted Elloh's last name at this moment, which resounded throughout the stadium.

In the midst of this shout from the stands, Iroh moved the ball forward, and in the face of Arbeloa's defense, he directly went up to the center of gravity of the latter, and after the center of gravity of the latter was deflected, the outside of his right foot slammed the ball to the right, and with a kick of his left foot, the whole person followed.

※※※

At the same time as Mascherano made his mistake, Xavi Alonso consciously moved closer to the route of Elloneche.

Sure enough, Arbeloa was more like a wooden pillar in front of Iro, there was no way, Xavi Alonso watched Iro's next move, and his body subconsciously fell to the ground to tackle.

But after Ielo flicked the ball horizontally to the right, the arch of his right foot connected up, and he pulled the ball towards the baseline, and then gently tapped the ground with his right foot, avoiding Xavi Alonso's right foot who couldn't tackle the ball and wanted to tackle him.

Facing Agg, who came up to make up for the defense, Airo didn't think about it, and added a little more force to the football buckled to the direction of the bottom line with the toe of his left foot, and raised his speed between two or three steps, the whole process was less than a second, Danish international Ague didn't expect Ailo's speed to be so fast, in his eyes, Ailo seemed to flash directly instead of running over.

But his second reaction was quick, and in Benitez's pre-game deployment, Iro's first choice after breaking into the box was definitely to shoot himself, so be aware that he used the change of tempo to kick the ball back and shake off the angle to shoot.

Ague remembers that when Benitez talked about Iello taking the ball to the bottom line on the left, he specifically told the defenders to stand in position and block Iro's right-footed shot angle, forcing him to use his left foot to handle the ball.

Agger is a player with a very strong comprehension ability, from Benitez's explanation, he knows that Iroh's left foot skills must be very poor, and this defense is to compress Iro's right foot to use space, forcing him to use his left foot to handle the ball.

So Agger consciously kept his back hand when he was chasing back, and he was completely sure that he would be able to turn around and destroy the ball at the same time as Iroh stopped and kicked.

But Iroh's thoughts weren't something he could have guessed about.

With the ball still two meters from the baseline, Iroh suddenly picked up his left foot.

Cross?

This possibility was immediately dismissed in Ag's mind.

So...... Only feints, fake fax buckles?

Definitely!

Ag didn't even make a move to reach out with his right foot to block the cross, just watched as he picked up his left foot to make a cross.

※※※

Don't take your feet lightly!

Although Benitez couldn't see exactly how far Iroh was from the baseline, he thought that Iroh's fake facsimile dunk this time must have been a fake facsimile dunk, because in Iroh's breakthrough video highlights, he used this trick many times, so he wanted Ague to jam Iroh and put the ball back into the space.

But what neither of them expected was that Iroh didn't kick the ball back with his picked up left foot, but chose to ...... it directly Cross!

What the?

Benitez on the sidelines was immediately stunned in place, which ...... It's not scientific!

Defending Eloh, Agger is like a spectator, and has nothing but to cut off Ello's route.

Elo's cross was very good, fast and flat, and there was an outward curvature, so goalkeeper Reina didn't dare to attack, so he could only stay on the goal line.

Ager was pulled close to the touchline of the penalty area by Airo, so the other centre-back Carragher will need to keep an eye on Valencia striker David Villa, while left-back Riser will have to reclaim the defence to make up for Carragher's position.

In this way, the gap on the left side of the defense leaked.

David Villa, who grabbed the front spot, jumped up with Carragher, but neither of them could reach it, and Reeser on the line of the small penalty area in the middle also jumped up, but also did not reach it.

Reina moved his feet as the ball moved, turning his head to look at the far end.

If there are no players from the opposing side here, then the crisis will be resolved and there will be a temporary sigh of relief.

With this hope, he took a deep breath, and when he was about to exhale, Reina's eyes were about to pop out, and the sense of crisis that the goalkeeper should have was all over his body, and the breath was stuck in his throat.

David Silva rocketed at the flying ball, which hit him in the forehead and changed direction towards goal.

Reina's body instinctively reacted very quickly, and after the cranial nerves were stunned by the lightning and flint, his body made a flying movement to pounce on the ball.

But David Silva made a bounce on the ball, which indirectly made his save harder, and the ball grazed the right-hand post and flew into the goal.
