353. Florentine's intentions

"The ball is in! The ball is in! Sky Sports commentator Tim 61 Laurson immediately roared with excitement.

The entire Anfield stadium immediately erupted in a fiery cheer, and all the Liverpool fans burst out at this moment, and they jumped to their feet. The surprise that Liverpool gave them was simply amazing, they really didn't expect the game to go so smoothly, and Liverpool scored as soon as they came up.

Indeed, it was a really smooth game, and Liverpool didn't seem to have any bumps in the road as they took the lead. It was a choosing for those who were ready to see Liverpool's jokes, especially the guys at The Sun.

Before the game, the "Sun" launched a frenzy of "national entertainment Liverpool", at which point, the Liverpool team seems to have been identified, they will go to play the League Cup, now well, people have scored as soon as they come up, and it seems that they have not encountered any resistance, is this Liverpool going to be eliminated rhythm?

1-0, Liverpool led Fiorentina thanks to Gerrard's goal.

This goal made Fiorentina very unhappy, they still had a big advantage, and now they were panicked by this goal. Although Fiorentina still has a certain advantage, this is the home of the Liverpool team, and the Liverpool team is in high spirits.

The Fiorentina manager couldn't sit still, and he immediately walked to the sidelines to signal the Fiorentina players to step up their defense, improve the quality of defense, and definitely not let Liverpool score so easily.

In fact, Fiorentina's defense was still very cautious just this time, but they focused on the inside of the box and ignored the defense outside the box, which gave the Liverpool people a chance. Not to mention, these guys in the Liverpool team really have some skills, and they have caught such a little loophole.

Gerrard was very excited to score the goal, and to be honest, the bad cartoons before the game made Gerrard very angry, especially the cartoon with him as the protagonist, saying that this season was the lowest point of his career, which made Gerrard very angry.

Gerrard has been holding back his strength, and this time he broke out, Gerrard rushed to the sidelines with excitement, rushed to the side of the field, rushed to the side of coach Benitez, and gave Benitez a big hug.

Gerrard knows very well that the pressure on Benitez has been great lately. In fact, the incident reported by the "Sun" is indeed the same thing, the American owner of the Liverpool team has the intention of firing Benitez, but he was later persuaded by the club's chief executive Paslow.

Not many people know about this, but he Gerald is one of those who know. At the beginning, the American boss of the Liverpool team asked Gerrard for his opinion on this matter, to be honest, Gerrard was almost stupid at that time, how could he not have thought that the boss would have the intention of firing Benitez?

Gerrard immediately said good things to the boss, said good things about Benitez, and said that at this time, the Liverpool team is really inseparable from Benitez, and if Benitez really leaves, then the Liverpool team will really be finished. Perhaps it was also because of Gerrard's words that the American boss of the Liverpool team agreed with Paslow's words, so he gave up the idea of sacking Benitez.

Benitez has been painstakingly playing lately, and these days, Benitez's hair is much grayer, and Gerrard doesn't feel good about it, so immediately after the goal, he rushed to Benitez's side to pay tribute to the dedicated manager.

Benitez was also very excited at this time, he didn't expect the game to go so smoothly, they scored not long after the game started, it was a very fantastic start.

Behind Gerrard are the excited Liverpool players, who are also very excited. The pressure on them is also very hard, and these days it has suppressed them so much that they even have a lot less to joke about or something.

"Goal! It was Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard who scored the goal, but a large part of the credit for the goal went to Chris, who found a weakness in Fiorentina's defence and sent the ball to dangerous positions to create the chance. Sky Sports commentator Gary 61 Lineker said immediately.

Indeed, this ball Qiu Ze drove very well, and the ball seemed to fly into the penalty area. However, just when everyone thought that the ball was flying into the penalty area, the football suddenly made a big turn and flew outside the penalty area, and the ball was really good.

The Liverpool fans at the scene also neatly chanted Qiu Ze's name and shouted the king of Liverpool.

After the goal, Liverpool stepped up their attack, and of course they wanted to win the game earlier, so that their hearts were at ease. Liverpool's attack was sharp, but Fiorentina's defence was tighter.

The Fiorentinas certainly won't watch Liverpool knock them out, they want to advance, and they certainly won't give Liverpool a chance.

If the score ends at this time, it will still be their Fiorentina team that advances. So, even after conceding a goal, the Fiorentinas were not in a hurry and they continued to play at their pace.

Fiorentina's tactics are still defensive counter-attacks, and they firmly believe that as long as their counter-attacks are played, Liverpool will not dare to be as arrogant as they are now. However, the premise is that they have to defend well now.

Qiu Ze, who took the ball, saw that Fiorentina's defense was very tight, and he was not in a hurry to attack, but passed the football upside down in the midfield, and passed the ball back and forth on both sides, interspersed with running, with the aim of tearing apart Fiorentina's defense.

However, the integrity of Florence's defense line has always been very intact, moving back and forth, left and right, it is all the same, like a chain, locked to the death, where to find any loopholes.

During this time, the defense of the Fiorentina team is really very good, and the opportunities of the Liverpool team are not very many, and the Liverpool team only strengthens the long-range shooting to expand the defense of the Fiorentina defense and expand it, so that the defensive area of the Fiorentina defenders is larger, but the number of people has not increased, and the probability of defensive mistakes is greater.

After Qiu Ze caught Gerrard's pass, he immediately slammed it slightly, and then pulled the ball again, shaking off Donadale, who had been pasted up.

To tell the truth, Donadale's defense does have a set, with body and speed, a large defensive area, and aggressiveness, which gives Qiu Ze a lot of trouble.

This time, Qiu Ze shook off Donadale and fired a long-range shot, which was Liverpool's third long-range shot in five minutes. Qiu Ze's long-range shot seemed rushed, but it worked very well, and the ball flew quickly towards the Fiorentina goal.

It looked like it was going to go in, but Fiorentina goalkeeper Frei did very well today, with a side-saving to knock the ball out.

Fiorentina's centre-back Natali immediately turned around and sent the ball to Monterivo in front. As soon as Monterivo received the ball, he turned and dribbled towards the Liverpool half.

Counterattack! Fiorentina's counterattack is coming! The Fiorentina fans immediately erupted in cheers.

Fiorentina counter-attacked at a fast pace, and Monterivo this guy was really fast. Gerrard immediately pounced on the defense, but Monterivo directly accelerated and changed direction to pass Gerrard. Then he didn't wait for Khedira to pounce, he just picked up the ball, and the ball flew forward at a rapid pace.

Pick the pass, Monterivo picked the ball to Gilardino who was rushing forward. The ball was passed so accurately that the Liverpool defenders could only sigh at the sight of the ball.

And the ball was passed right above Gilardino's head, and the ball quickly crossed Gilardino's head and fell in front of Gilardino.

This is a very haode opportunity, and when the Liverpool fans on the scene saw this, their faces changed instantly, and they exclaimed in their hearts: Danger!

On the sidelines, Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez also stood up from his position in surprise and looked at the pitch with a worried face.

Gilardino caught up with the ball at a high speed and volleyed it without waiting for it to hit the ground.

This is Gilardino's best choice at this time, because he has Liverpool's central defenders already in the middle, and if he doesn't make a choice soon, this opportunity will definitely be lost.

The battle of strikers is like this, often competing for that thousandth of a second with the opposing defenders.

Before Skrtel and Joel Luka could get on the fence, Gilardino struck the ball with his right leg and it immediately shot at the Liverpool goal like a sharp arrow from a six-stone bow.

In the penalty area, in front of the goal, Cavalieri immediately kicked his legs, and his body ejected excellently, and he made a side pun!

Cavalieri's movements were standard, but unfortunately he just didn't touch the football, which flew past his hand and scurried towards the goal behind him. This scared Cavalieri to the point where he almost lost his soul. Liverpool fans were also scared.

But fortunately, they were lucky, the football almost grazed the crossbar of the goal and flew out of the bottom line, the football was a little bit higher, and the luck of the Liverpool team was really good.

At this time, the Liverpool fans in the stadium were relieved, and it was really almost a little bit just now. If Fiorentina had scored the goal, it would have been even more difficult for Liverpool.

This goal scared the Liverpudlians a lot, and at the same time they also understood a truth, Fiorentina in front of them is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched at will, and if they are not careful, the Liverpool team will be counterattacked.

Fiorentina just want the Liverpudlian people to know this, so that the Liverpool team does not dare to attack so recklessly from behind, so that the pressure on Fiorentina's defense will be reduced, and they will be confident that they can keep this result until Zuihou.

Yes, Florence had already thought of defeat before coming. Even if they lose this game, they can accept it, because as long as they don't lose a 3-0 or more than 3-0, they won't be eliminated.
