On the evening of December 12, 2007, at the Stade de la Vilodrome, Marseille.

Groups of fans in sky-blue striped shirts walked past the cameras of the local TV station with excitement and shouted to cheer for the team.

Fans with fireworks in their hands, club scarves and so on can be seen everywhere. There is also a group of fans holding a big banner: The Champions League round of 16 is ours!!

Originally, there was only a small group of fans at the beginning, but in the blink of an eye, this phalanx was instantly enlarged, and groups of fans quickly gathered, shouting excitedly: "The Champions League round of 16 is ours, the Champions League round of 16 is our ......"

Before the start of the game, the Vilodrom stadium was already filled with an excited crowd. Groups of festive fans chanted the team anthem and chanted the names of their favorite players in the stadium. The scarves and streamers in their hands kept flying in their hands. Some fans even couldn't wait to light the fireworks, and the flaming red fireworks rose into the sky, quickly rendering half the sky.

"The last 16 of the Champions League made ours!!" The huge banner was particularly conspicuous in the huge stadium, falling in the eyes of every Marseille fan and engraved in the heart.

Festival!!

Yes, today is the festival for Marseille fans, the long-awaited festival!!

"Hello to the audience, fans. I'm your old friend Sergei. Today I am very excited because I am finally standing on the stage of the Vlodrom stadium to reach the last 16 of the Champions League! Audience friends, are you ready? Decisive battle! The decisive battle has come! Friends and comrades! Gather your courage, take up your weapons, and fight with the Liverpudlians! Sergei, the commentator of the Marseille sports channel, shouted passionately over the loudspeakers, and the atmosphere was raised again.

When the fans at the scene heard Sergei's voice, they kept waving what was in their hands and roaring in their mouths. The atmosphere of the whole stadium slowly rose, and the Marseille players in the stadium enjoyed it very much!

'Now that the players from both sides are on the pitch, the game is about to start. I would like to take this time to introduce to you the starting lists of both sides of this game! Sergei flipped through the information in his hand and said slowly.

First of all, Sergei introduced the visiting team Liverpool's starting list for today, and Benitez lined up a 4231 formation today, with Reina in the goalkeeper's position, which cannot be doubted.

In the back four positions are Arbeloa, Carragher, Daniel, 61 Ag and Reese. In the back two positions are Mascherano and Gerrard, in the front three positions are Babbels, Qiu Ze and Kuyt, and at the top of the top is Spanish striker Fernando 61 Torres.

The home team Marseille team is still a four-two-three-one formation today, the goalkeeper's position is Mandanda, this is Marseille's substitute goalkeeper, the No. 1 goalkeeper is injured, and he has only recently taken the position.

The back four positions are Taiwo, J61 Rodriguez, Giwe and Bonnard. In the midfield position are Kana and Ziani. In the front three are Valbuena, Cherou and Zenden. At the top of the list is Niang.

Today, the Marseille team's "new Zidane" Nasri really did not appear in the starting lineup, which was indeed beyond Benitez's expectations, and he thought that this was the smoke bomb of Marseille coach Gretz.

"Flute ......"

The referee blew the whistle for the first half of the game, and the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League group stage was officially kicked off. The first to kick off was the home team Marseille, and now it is the defender Cana who takes the ball! Sergei's voice came, and the fans at the scene erupted in passionate cheers, and the scorching waves boiled over the audience.

Marseille wore a sky blue shirt today, while Liverpool wore an all-red shirt. Marseille defender Cana caught the ball and Fernando 61 Torres rushed up. Kanna slammed the ball down and pushed it to Zenden on the wing.

Cenden, who caught the ball, did not rush in, but knocked the ball back to the backline. Niang slammed into the front, his side was really empty, the game had just begun, and at this time, football was still on the Marseille defence! So, Liverpool are a bit lax defensively against Niang.

J61 Rodriguez, who caught the ball, saw this and drove the ball directly to the front court with a big kick, towards the head of Niang. Seeing the ball flying, Niang jumped to his feet. Behind him, Carragher swooped up and leaped high with a wave of momentum. However, when he jumped up, he found that he didn't seem to be as high as the boy from Niang.

The ball flew towards his head, and Niang shook his head sharply. However, a strong force suddenly came from behind him, and Niang's body, which was lying in the air, suddenly lost his balance.

"Bang!" With a thud, Niang's body slammed into the field.

"Ahh Some timid female fans in the stands jerked their hands over their mouths, but the frightened cries came out clearly.

......The whistle sounded, and the referee quickly blew the first foul whistle of the first half. At the same time, he called Carragher aside, and the Liverpool players watched the referee in horror, fearing that he would play cards at this time. Also, the referee just verbally told Carragher! and gave Marseille a direct free kick from 33 meters in front of the court and slightly to the left.

"Damn...... That's at least a yellow card! Marseille manager Gretz first watched Niang slam to the ground and was shocked. Later, when he saw that the referee only verbally told Carragher, he couldn't look past it, and he jumped out violently and complained.

"Watch your words, sir!" The fourth official appeared beside him like a ghost, and Carragher stretched out his hand in a huff before returning to the dugout.

Seeing this, the fans of the Marseille team were very dissatisfied, and they roared frantically on the pitch: "Black whistle! Chop pieces, do you see clearly? This should be a yellow card! Yellow! Damn it! ”

The Marseille fans were very upset, in their opinion it was definitely a yellow card action, but the referee ignored Carragher, which was simply infuriating, and the Marseille fans immediately lashed out at the referee of the game and cursed Liverpool's Carragher.

Carragher saw that the referee did not play a card, and he immediately went into the penalty area from behind, at this time, it was better for him not to make a sound, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat.

"Mr. referee, this should be a yellow card!" At this time, the players of the Marseille team rushed up and asked the referee of the game to speak, and the players of the Marseille team said one after another. Although they know that this situation cannot be changed now, they can put pressure on the referee to favor them in the future.

"I can see it clearly, I know how to judge, you just take care of yourself!" The referee stared coldly at the Marseille players, unaffected.

Free kick, the game just started to get a direct free kick in front, which made the Liverpool fans on the scene a little nervous, it seems that Liverpool really can't be careless in today's game. Moreover, it seems that Liverpool has had a bad start.

"Are you alright?" Sherroux, who ran over, asked Niang, who had fallen to the ground, his face full of worry.

"It's okay!! How could this little bit of energy possibly make something happen to me? Let's get off and scare the Liverpool kids! Niang spat nonchalantly and said to Cheroux, a smile on his face.

“haode！ Wait a minute, I'll hit you on the head, find a good position! Cheroux spoke to Niang, who blinked in knowledge before sprinting into the Liverpool penalty area.

Cheroux leaned over to fiddle with the ball, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina set up the wall with a cautious look. Reina didn't know the footwork of this guy Xerrou before, and the free kicks of the Marseille team had always been made by Nasri, and he really hadn't studied Xerroux, so he was very nervous and cautious at this time.

"A little to the left, a little to the left!" Reyna shouted loudly, especially loudly in the stadium.

Sheroux put the ball away, got up and retreated. At this time, the Dutch winger Cenden came over and whispered something in Sherou's ear. And it didn't take long for Xie Lu to look up at Liverpool's goal again, then at Zenden and nodded.

"Damn...... What kind of mess is this guy up here! "Reina was bitter in his heart, it would have been difficult for one Xie Lu to deal with it, and now he has been to Cendeng, which is really a headache!

"Judging by the performance of these two people, it seems that Nazenden is the one who took the ball. However, this combination will not be so simple...... Maybe this is just his trick of deception, well, it must be so, this ball must be Xie Lu to take the penalty! Reyna thought slowly.

In the penalty area, Niang slowly stepped back, squeezing back with his strong body, and the emaciated Arbeloa behind him was overwhelmed. In front of Niang, Carragher was focused on a free-kick.

At this time, Liverpool's penalty area was full of people, and Qiu Ze also returned to the penalty area to participate in the defense. The fans of the Marseille team were cheering for the Marseille team excitedly, and they were expecting the first goal.

"Flute!" At this moment, the referee of the game blew the whistle on the serve, and the Liverpudlian was extremely nervous all of a sudden.

Cendon slammed his run, quickly getting in front of the ball, and then raising his legs...... Gently put it down and ran over......

"Whew...... It's okay to block it, but it's on the left, or ......" Ben was relieved when Reina was judging where the ball from Sheroux would fly, and Sherou, who was running up, drove the ball out, and the trajectory was ......

"Damn! Not on the left, not on the right, and out of the pass...... "Seeing the ball arc in the air and flying towards the middle of the penalty area, Reina slipped due to a mistake in judgment.

The ball spun in the air and flew into the Liverpool penalty area.

The Liverpool fans were extremely nervous, staring nervously at the flying football. And the fans of the Marseille team had surprise written on their faces, and they had already raised their hands at this time!

A sky-blue figure rushed forward from behind, jumped high, and pressed Carragher deep underneath.

In the face of the incoming ball, the lion shook its head violently, and the ball flew towards the goal......
