205 Work harder after a loss
Qin Lang could feel the pressure, because the team looked very passive at the beginning of the second half, because Dortmund's offensive was indeed quite ferocious. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Also because Carragher was sent off, Liverpool now have one less man on the field, which is a proof that Liverpool is becoming more and more passive, and these are all reasons why it is likely that it will be difficult for the Reds to get out of the game.
It may be difficult to walk away with victory at Borussia Dortmund's home stadium now, and the classic moments of the Hornets fans using binoculars in the home stands are really exciting and exciting, and they may have a real chance to see the Champions League final.
It may be difficult to win the game at Signa Idona Park, and the first thing the team needs to do now is to make sure they don't concede a goal; This is definitely a test for Liverpool, and this is a test for the first goalkeeper Qin Lang.
Qin Lang has not conceded a goal in the Champions League this season, and he hopes to continue not to concede a goal; We have to work harder at this time, and we must ensure that we can block Dortmund!
Dortmund was highly motivated, although Qin Lang saved two penalties; But this is no longer a reason to hit the Dortmund players, who made Qin Lang's performance in the matter of saving a penalty too terrible, everyone thinks that Qin Lang saves a penalty is a normal thing, no one will be surprised, let alone think that this is a hit.
In the seventy-seventh minute of the game, Gotze sent a straight plug in front of the penalty area, and Lewandowski fell to the ground in the middle and was knocked down and destroyed by Qin Lang in advance; A minute later, Agger was fouled for handball while scrambling for a header and the referee showed a yellow card to the Liverpool centre-back.
This is dangerous, the only remaining regular centre-back on the field of the Reds now needs to be cautious, the already dangerous and very stressed Reds defenders need to take on more pressure at this time, perhaps it will be difficult for Agger to make more moves on the pitch.
The pressure, the opponent is playing more and more fiercely, Liverpool is still one less person on the field, not to mention that the central defenders are still restrained; This is definitely not good news, Qin Lang knows that this is a huge pressure.
It is almost impossible to defend and counterattack, because now the team can only grit their teeth and persevere, and not conceding goals is the first thing; It's worth a thousand thanks to being able to hold on, and it's better to fight back and forget about such things.
Grosskreutz and Lyle were substituted, with full-back Piszczek and midfielder Błaszczykowski being replaced; Although Dort didn't directly replace the two attackers, they were about the same, they were replaced by a new force, and they dominated the offensive end without completely forgetting to stay focused on the defensive end.
Commanding the defense and keeping the game focused, the team needs to withstand this difficult time.
It looks pretty good, because they haven't conceded a goal yet; It's just that Qin Lang won't feel relaxed, because Dort's players all rushed out, and they completely suppressed Liverpool in the penalty area.
The disadvantage of one man less on the pitch was exposed, and the Dort players could keep passing and cutting, while the Liverpool players were hardly guaranteed to put pressure on every Hornets player. It is also because the schedule of Liverpool's players has been too dense recently, and the Red Army players who have consumed too much physical energy have heavy feet one by one, and they can no longer keep up with the pace of their opponents at the defensive end.
Keep going, there are only five minutes left.
But with just five minutes remaining, the last thing Liverpool players wanted was happening.
Although the Liverpool players are still gritting their teeth and persevering, the Dort players are also working hard; It is true that Liverpool are suppressed in the penalty area, and to some extent, it is also a bucket formation representing the Reds, which is also a burden for Dort.
However, Gotze changed direction to avoid Lucas's pressing, and he strode forward with the ball; Although it looked like he was about to be encircled by Liverpool, he caught a glimpse of his team-mates and opponents, and saw himself completely engaging Liverpool's defence, and Gotze, who was starting to become unpopular with Dort's fan base, tackled the bottom of the ball.
This time, Qin Lang's face became ugly, the teammates he saw were just paying attention to the ball carrier, and the Liverpool players didn't notice that Lewandowski, who was crowded in the penalty area, started in an instant; Although the position is not directly facing the goal, he is almost unguarded.
Lewandowski raised his foot to stop the ball, glanced at Qin Lang's position, and then directly took the ball and decisively forward; Although there was no angle to shoot, he still volleyed from the left side of the small penalty area; He didn't care about Ah Ge behind him, he just cared about Qin Lang's position now.
Qin Lang jumped up hard, Lewandowski's shot was really threatening; Straight into the far corner, a high-quality shot from a very tight angle!
Qin Lang, who struggled to jump, still failed to touch the ball, although he jumped high and stretched his right hand as long as possible, but he still failed to touch the ball. The ball grazed Qin Lang's fingers and flew to the far corner of the goal, and Qin Lang didn't even need to look back, because he could see it clearly.
The ball smashed into the corner between the post and the crossbar and flew into the goal, 1-0!
Signa Idona Park was in complete flux, and the already nervous and depressed Hornets fans erupted in deafening cheers. They cheered, they shouted wantonly, because the team scored, because Lewandowski finally broke through Qin Lang's ten fingers.
This is not to say that he is excited to break Qin Lang's record of not conceding a goal in the Champions League this season, but because the score of 1-0 will make Dortmund take a big step forward on the road to qualify for the Champions League final, which will make the Hornets take the initiative!
There were some people covering their faces at the Signa Idona Park stadium, and even some fans were in tears; It's Dortmund's home stadium, but there are also some loyal Reds fans who travel with the team.
But they saw the team being suppressed by the young Hornets in the second half, and they saw Qin Lang concede his first goal in the Champions League this season, including Qin Lang's conceded goal that caused Liverpool to fall into passivity.
Forget the record of not conceding a goal, Qin Lang is only a stone's throw away from setting a new record for a clean sheet in the Champions League; But he still conceded the ball and fell at the crucial moment. This is just a false name, and the most important thing is that the team has been passive on the road to promotion.
This is the reason why Qin Lang looks so hit now, and this is the reason why Qin Lang hammered the lawn several times.
It's impossible to walk away with a win at Signa Edona Park, and even if the Champions League knockout rounds are two legs and the team is just one goal down, there is still a chance to turn things around at Anfield.
However, losing the first game is still quite depressing, and the initiative is completely out of my hands!
Liverpool lost to Signa Sidona Park and lost a game in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals. This is really not good news, and it is a rather devastating defeat for Liverpool, who are already in a passive situation, no doubt about it!
The Laborers expedition was a shock in itself, not to mention a very frustrating defeat, and the team has now ceded the initiative of promotion to Borussia Dortmund.
However, Liverpool does not necessarily need to despair, because they are only one goal behind, and they still have a chance to stage a Jedi counterattack at Anfield Stadium a week later, Liverpool only lost a game instead of completely losing hope of qualifying for the Champions League final, and they may also appear at Wembley Stadium and the winner between Bayern Munich and Barcelona for the Big Ears Cup!
There wasn't much time to be saddened by the defeat in this game as Liverpool needed to keep going.
The return flight was a very dull Reds, because Liverpool have suffered too many twists and turns and blows in recent times, because they have suffered one blow after another.
The defeat in the Champions League semi-finals was devastating, also because Liverpool were in a rather bad situation in the league.
There is only one game away from Manchester United at the top of the table, and it looks like they could catch up at any time; But the league has completely entered the countdown, and Suarez has been heavily fined for the bite.
In the most critical period of the league championship, the team's forward ace was banned, which is a speechless thing; Not to mention the long-term impact of the 10-game ban, it is a reality that Tooth Sue will not be able to play in the opening stages of next season.
What's more important is the championship in front of him, Liverpool has lost the initiative, completely lost the initiative.
With only four league games left, Liverpool's opponents are the relegation zone Magpies Newcastle, city rivals Everton, Fulham, who are not yet fully guaranteed a relegation, and Queens Park Rangers, who are certain to be relegated.
The opponents in this group except Everton, who are now in seventh place in the standings, are considered to have some strength, and the other opponents are completely soft persimmons, which should be difficult opponents to handle.
But it has to be admitted that Manchester United are in control now, those guys will have a chance to win the opponent and have the last laugh, and their opponent is not necessarily how strong, Manchester United will leave Liverpool breathless.
It's one thing to be quite passive in winning the league and it's also because the current schedule puts a lot of pressure on the Reds.
The drawbacks of multi-front operations have been thoroughly exposed, and the shortcomings of Liverpool's lack of depth have been infinitely magnified; Liverpool's serious fitness crisis is beginning to show, and if it weren't for the fitness problems in the game against Dort, maybe they wouldn't have returned to England with such a depressed defeat.
Unfortunately, Liverpool still don't have a chance to rest, and they still need to continue to work hard.
Heading straight away, the team's opponents in the round of 35 are the Magpies, and the team will continue to charge at St James' Park, perhaps in a game where they can continue their league title hopes, or a game in which Liverpool are knocked out of the competition altogether.
With 23 wins, 9 draws and 2 losses accumulating 78 points, Liverpool does not need to worry about falling to third place in the standings at all, because Manchester City cannot catch up for the time being, and there is a gap of ten points.
However, Manchester United's record is 26 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses and 81 points, and they are now one win ahead of Liverpool; If Liverpool suffer a defeat now, it will be completely widened up the gap at the top of the table, and it is really difficult to have a chance to catch up with such a point difference in the final sprint of the league.
The team is really in a sensitive stage right now, quite sensitive.
Although it is in a rather passive situation in the league, who wants to choose to give up at such a moment; Even if it is very passive, the team still has the hope of winning the championship, which of course makes people choose to work hard.
It is true that the team has no time to rest, and it is true that the team is under great pressure in the league now, but it must be admitted that no one chooses to give up, even if they are on the verge of collapse, but they will still choose to grit their teeth and persevere.
This is also a very risky thing, if the team gives up the league and goes all out to attack the Champions League, then the team may really be able to kill Dort and advance to the Champions League final. It's just that this is very unwilling, and it's hard to make up your mind.
Liverpool are desperate for the Premier League title, and it's because everyone knows that even if they get rid of Dort, they won't win the Champions League final. What's more, the strength of the opponents in the league is very average, if they all say that hard stubble may make Liverpool think more, but there are too many soft persimmons, the situation is different.
It's really stressful, but it's hard to think about what the team might get out of it.
This is the poisonous apple, even if you know the consequences that may bring, but you will still bite hard, this is the reality, this is the situation that Liverpool is facing now, you must grit your teeth and persevere!
Going to St James' Park, Liverpool must face the bitter consequences of Suarez's suspension, the team must face the helplessness of not having a good rest at all, and the reality that the team has just suffered a very hurtful defeat.
This is the reality that the team will need to face ahead of the 35th round of the league, and this is the difficulty that Liverpool will have to overcome in the closing stages of the season.
There are too many difficulties to overcome on the road to winning the championship, not only the wins and losses of a game; Especially the league championship, which requires the team to constantly overcome various difficulties throughout the season, which requires the team to maintain a very strong fighting force and excellent performance throughout the season.
Qin Lang is still looking forward to this game, but he also knows that the team still has a good hope of winning this game.
It is true that the team is tired, and it is true that Suarez was suspended; But Magpies Newcastle are not the fighting team they were at the beginning, they are a team that are now struggling to fight for relegation. If you can't win such an opponent, then what's the point of competing for the league championship!
Qin Lang and his teammates are well aware of this, and they are also well aware that this game will be difficult; But they are willing to give it their all, because they are not willing to give up and compete for the championship, it's that simple! (To be continued.) )
