250 Anfield Dream Debut Goal
On the afternoon of 17 August, there was a sea of red outside the Anfield stadium.
After a three-month break, Liverpool fans have finally waited for the new season.
Although Liverpool have played four warm-up games this summer and have already played one Champions League qualifier, all of those games have been played elsewhere.
Most Reds fans were unable to come to cheer on their team, so the team's home game for the new season ignited enthusiasm.
Liverpool's previous four warm-up games and one Champions League qualifying match have won five in a row, which is convincing and something Liverpool fans are looking forward to!
On the sidelines, the No. 7 shirt surpassed Steven Gerrard's No.17 and Owen's No.10 to become the shirt with the highest probability of appearing.
Such a situation has not happened since the retirement of Liverpool king Dalglish, and neither Beardsley, McManaman nor Smitchell have ever made fans so crazy since then.
Of course, most of the fans' madness is still because of Chen Xi's outstanding performance last season. If he really wants to capture the hearts of all Liverpool fans like King Dalglish, Chen Xi will also need to use his performance at Anfield to make a name for himself.
In this group of fans, a group of familiar faces appeared.
It turned out that Yang Xu and the others made a special trip from London to Liverpool to witness Chen Xi's debut at Anfield.
International students like Yang Xu and others, who have some money at home, live a very comfortable life abroad, and they don't need to work and study, so they have a lot of time to play around.
It hasn't started yet, which made them decide to come to Liverpool.
Although they have been studying in north London, they are not Tottenham fans, most of them support Tottenham because of Chen Xi, and now that Chen Xi has come to Liverpool, they have naturally become Reds fans again.
No, they made a special trip to the fan shop outside Anfield Stadium to buy a Liverpool fan outfit. The jersey is naturally Chen Xi's No. 7 jersey.
"After all, Anfield Stadium has momentum!" After entering the court, Yang Xu couldn't help but sigh.
Anfield has a capacity of 60,000 people, which may not be the largest in European football, but the atmosphere is quite lively.
As a gathering place for the Reds' most loyal fans, the KOP stands were already full, and everyone sang "You will never walk alone" neatly.
Yang Xu and they didn't get a ticket for the KOP stand, but they were really shocked to be able to witness the momentum of the KOP stand from the sidelines, and they could imagine how much energy could burst out after Liverpool scored after the game started!
"Yes! This is not comparable to White Hart Lane! ”
"Niang Xipi, Lao Tzu has the idea of transferring to Liverpool."
"It's a big deal, let's get to Liverpool every week!"
"What a great idea! I decided to do it too! ”
…… In the stands at Anfield, before the game even started, the group of international students were already impressed by the unique football culture here.
"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen in front of the TV. Join Sky TV as you bring you the highlight of the 2003-2004 Premier League first round as Liverpool hosts Chelsea! I'm everyone's old friend, Paul Mortenson! ”
"Hi everyone, I'm Martin Taylor!"
Sky TV also started broadcasting the game early as usual, with the commentators still their golden pair Paul Mortensen and Martin Taylor.
'Both of these teams are traditional powerhouses in the Premier League and have been greatly complemented by a move in the transfer market this summer. They will launch a powerful assault on Manchester United and Arsenal's monopoly in the Premier League! ”
'Chelsea have been crazy this summer, having made a number of big acquisitions in the transfer market after being bought by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and changing their previous stingy style from Bates! Crespo, Mutu, Veron, Duff, Joe Cole, Makelele, players who have proven themselves at the top of world football or in the Premier League have come to the Blues. The team, which was known as the retirement base last season, has a new look for the new season, called an all-star team. ”
Of course, such a situation may also plunge their manager Ranieri into a sweet annoyance. After all, with these new players and some of the original Chelsea quality players, the team is enough to put together two good squads. The Italian coach must have racked his brains when arranging his troops......"
"Liverpool have also invested more than £20 million this summer. Among them, Xavi Alonso from Real Sociedad was Liverpool's biggest transfer of the summer, with the Spanish midfielder costing Liverpool £12 million. Of course, everyone knows that Liverpool's real big acquisition was not the purchase of Alonso, but the signing of Edison Chen, the top scorer in the league and the League Cup last season, with the highest salary in the Premier League at the time! It was seen as the most successful deal on the continent this summer. After all, last season, Edison almost single-handedly led the original mid-table team Tottenham Hotspur to the treble. ”
"The red and blue have a long history at Anfield, where the first meeting between the two teams took place. Ninety-five years ago, Chelsea won 4-1 against Liverpool in the then-little-known stadium. However, 40 years later, Liverpool still beat Chelsea 7-4 at home with the Reds, which is also the most goals scored in a single game in the history of the two teams. The back-and-forth between the two sides at Anfield is still talked about by the British media even 95 years later. ”
"Against a menacing Chelsea side, Anfield can indeed be called the patron saint of Liverpool. Liverpool have won 42, drawn 12 and lost six of the 60 top-flight meetings between the two sides at Anfield, while they have also won 10, drawn three and lost two at home since the Premier League season. It can be said that at Anfield, the Liverpool team occupies an absolute lead! ”
'Of course, this new Chelsea team will not easily fall in front of the old stats, they will want to start a new page with their performances......
Before the game, the two commentators were conducting the pre-match analysis as usual.
At this time, the players of both teams have also returned to the locker room after warming up.
In the home team's dressing room, Rafael Benitez was putting the finishing touches on his players: "In the pre-season warm-up games, we had a good result. But after all, it was just a warm-up game, and even the last Champions League qualifying game was not a real test. Starting from today's league game, this is the beginning of our new season to win the championship!
The good results of the past have made the fans expect a lot from us, and I hope you don't take those expectations as pressure, but turn them into motivation to win. At the same time, there are a lot of people out there who are expecting us to make mistakes, and then they can jump out and lash out at us. There are always some boring people! I hope you can use your performance to silence them!
Today's opponents are indeed very strong, and a team that has been smashed out of 100 million pounds, even if they have not been able to fully run in, cannot hide their strong strength. However, our strength is not bad either. I'm sure any of you will be no worse than those guys at Chelsea. But we have already become a whole, but they still need to run in. That's our advantage, so I hope you can take advantage of it today, seize this opportunity, and give them a fatal blow! Tell the Chelsea guys with your performances that it's ...... It's Anfield! "As a master of psychology, Benitez's pre-match speech was very inflammatory.
"This is Anfield!" Chen Xi and his teammates shouted enthusiastically under the inspiration of Benitez.
At this moment, in another locker room, Ranieri is also mobilizing.
It's a lot more complicated than Liverpool's dressing room.
Although Benitez is a foreign coach on Liverpool's side, the team's new signings are either from the Premier League or Spain, so they only need to arrange a translator for Benitez to translate his Spanish into English.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have bought nearly a dozen big names this season, from all leagues and countries, many of whom do not speak English. You know, even as the coach of the team, Ranieri, who has been in England for three years, is not a good Englishman, let alone the players.
So in this dressing room, there are all kinds of interpreters sitting next to the players. This has undoubtedly caused problems for Ranieri to communicate with his players. Claudio Ranieri had no time to communicate with many of the players in the squad because they had only joined the team before the start of the season, which obviously had a big impact on the communication between the coach and the players.
In such a relatively awkward situation, Ranieri began to speak: "At this moment, outside the Anfield stadium, in all corners of the world, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us. Frustratingly, they are not our supporters. It's a bunch of guys waiting to see our jokes!
This summer's buying spree has brought you a talented group of players to the team, as well as a lot of attention from the outside world. This makes us the target of public criticism. If we get good results, they'll say 'this is how it should be, you guys spent 100 million in the summer'. And if we don't play well, the overwhelming criticism will rush at us!
But in my opinion, it shouldn't be stress. Actually, I think you can ignore the people who get in the way. Guys, forget your worth, forget your past glory, all you need is to calm down and play, play your best, integrate into the collective, and then make this brand new team shine and become a feared powerhouse!
Today's game is our best chance to prove ourselves! At Anfield, Chelsea were always underdogs and we have only a handful of victories here. But I believe that this has come to an end, and in front of this brand new Chelsea team, those old statistics will be a thing of the past! From today onwards, we will no longer be afraid of the game at Anfil, and there should not even be anything we are afraid of in the whole Premier League! Conquer Anfield and shut up those who mock us for being upstarts! ”
Unlike the low-key in front of the media before the game, in the dressing room, the old Italian showed a domineering spirit that he usually did not show.
His domineering spirit has also infected the Chelsea players in the dressing room, and even if this passion reaches their ears through the words of an interpreter, it will not affect their emotional mobilization.
At this moment, they let go of the pressure, and some are just an urge to prove their worth.
"Conquer Anfield!" The dressing room erupted in the colourful voices of the Chelsea players!
Almost at the same moment, the players from both teams rushed out of the dressing room, and they didn't even look at each other, and it was clear that the fighting atmosphere of the game was already extremely strong in the dressing room.
When he walked out of the locker room passage and came to the entrance of the players' tunnel, Chen Xi saw the sign that read "This is Anfield".
When he came here as an opponent, he had an urge to conquer it, and now that he is part of Liverpool, he still aspires to conquer Anfield.
However, this kind of conquest is what Liverpool fans are looking forward to, and Chen Xi hopes to be able to defend this sentence on the slogan with his performance!
Boom~~~ When Chen Xi and his teammates walked out of the passage, a huge cheer came into Chen Xi's ears, and his blood boiled because of it.
"Okay, the players from both teams are playing, let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams......"
With the commentator's words, the list of appearances of both teams was played on the TV screen...... Liverpool starting line-up (4-4-2):
Goalkeepers: Dudek Defenders: Finnan, Hyypia, Carragher, Reeser Midfielders: Smitchell, Gerrard, Xavi Alonso, Edison Chan Forwards: Heskey, Owen "Benitez today lined up Liverpool's traditional four-four-two formation, but there are three new season signings, Finnan, Harvey Alonso and Edison Chen. Finnan and Edison Chan have been absolute mainstays for Liverpool in the warm-up games, while Xavi Alonso has earned Benitez's trust for his good form in the following warm-up games. ”
Chelsea starting line-up (4-3-3):
Goalkeepers: CudiciniDefenders: Glen Johnson, Terry, Desailly, BridgeMidfielders: Glenschal, Makelele, Lampard, Duff Forwards: Crespo, Hasselbaink' We can see that Ranieri's squad has five new signings, and the other six were the main players in last season's team. Summer-rich Velon, Joe Cole and Mutu were not included in the starting line-up, with Crespo and Hasselbaink up front. The two fast horses and Glen Charles will provide them with plenty of firepower. And the fierce Claude Makelele from Real Madrid will be an iron gate in their midfield. The only concern is whether young right-back Glen Johnson, who moved from relegated West Ham this summer, will be able to hold off Edison. You must know that Edison was on the court last season, and the young man who had provoked him before the game was completely blown up. However, Ranieri has no choice, the team's original right-back Melchiott and the Frenchman Galla who can play this position are injured, and he can only entrust this young man with a heavy responsibility! ”
As the commentator introduced the Chelsea squad, the camera deliberately swept over the Chelsea bench, where faces such as Mutu, Veron, Geremi, Joe Cole and Gudjohnsen appeared.
These people are the absolute main force when they go to other Premier League teams, but in the Chelsea team, they have to be reduced to rotation players.
At the beginning of the season, people may not think much about it, but as time goes on, these players will inevitably have some problems within the team due to the uneven distribution of playing time. At that time, it is unknown whether Ranieri will be able to control this team at the level of a tinkerer.
Standing on the pitch, feeling the warm cheers from the home fans, Chen Xi felt very excited, this is his first home game after joining Liverpool, he can't play it!
After a series of ceremonies, Chelsea kicked off first.
Chelsea's tactics from the start of the game were clear: to use the speed of the two wing-backs to create chances for the two centre-forwards in the middle.
This is also Ranieri's tactic based on the current situation that the team's players are not very well coordinated, after all, the wide cross tactic is relatively easy to play.
The lack of chemistry among the players means that the players need to have strong individual qualities, and Chelsea are clearly not lacking in that.
Both Duff and Glen Schal are speed maniacs on the wings, and their perverted pace alone is enough for two Liverpool full-backs to eat.
Chelsea's heavily recruited Argentine centre-forward Crespo also found his groove against Premier League players after a brief adaptation and began to pose a threat in the box.
In the sixth minute, he nearly broke Dudek's goal with a header from Hyypia. Fortunately, he shook his head a little hard, and the ball grazed the post and missed.
Even so, the Liverpool fans in the stands were shocked into a cold sweat!
Three minutes later, the Argentine centre-forward threatened again, but this time it was from outside the box.
Frank Lampard tucked the ball directly into midfield to Crespo, who was leaning on Hyypia with his back on the edge of the box, and the Argentine cleverly slid the ball to his left and then quickly turned on Hyypia and slotted his right foot directly into the ball.
The power of the shot, and more importantly the bouncing of the ball into the six-yard box, was obviously a huge test for Dudek in front of goal.
Thankfully, the Polish goalkeeper withstood the test, making a sideways pounce to block the ball before Hasselbaink could come up and shoot in his arms.
Ranieri on the sidelines was very satisfied with the team's offensive performance, after all, most of the players on the field had been training with the team for less than a month, and Ranieri had nothing to say about being able to play such a simple combination.
Benitez, who was in front of the other coach's bench, looked a little grim and it was clear that the individual quality of the Chelsea players made him feel threatened.
Being dominated by the opponent at the beginning of the game is unacceptable to the Liverpool team playing at home, even if the opponent is a strong team built with 100 million pounds!
Then Liverpool played a brilliant counter-attack.
Alonso cut off Lampard's ball and sent it directly to Chen Xi on the left side of midfield!
After Chen Xi received the ball and turned around, he pushed the ball to the middle when he saw French defender Makelele running towards him.
Gerrard was already plugging in at high speed, and although Frank Lampard was behind him, there was a blank space in front of him, so Gerrard sprinted at full speed.
Frank Lampard is tall and big, so he is also aggressive when he dribbles the ball at high speed, and it is difficult for Lampa behind him to chase the distance with him.
Seeing this situation, Makelele had no choice but to leave Chen Xi and return to the middle, in his opinion, fortunately, there is a wingback on the right side, but the middle is blank, he doesn't dare to let Gerrard drive straight into the middle to give him a chance to shoot from a distance!
Like Chen Xi just now, after Makelele ran towards him, Gerrard chose a good time to distribute the ball to the side.
Facing Glenn Johnson, who was guarding over, Chen Xi showed a disdainful smile on his face.
This smile was seen by Glenn Johnson, who thought that Chen Xi looked down on him, although he did explode by him in the conversation with Chen Xi last season, but the pride in his heart could not tolerate the contempt of others.
Therefore, after he saw Gerrard's pass, he accelerated towards the route of the ball, he was still very confident in the speed, he believed that he would not be much slower than Chen Xi in the empty run.
Gerrard's pass looked almost far away from Chen Xi and Johnson, and the direction of travel of the ball was biased towards Johnson's side, so in Johnson's opinion, he was nine out of ten stable in this ball.
is also a young man under twenty, Chen Xi is obviously much more mature than Johnson, and his judgment of himself and his opponent is much more accurate. I saw that he raised his speed to the extreme, and finally when Johnson was about to kick the ball, he stabbed the ball with his long legs first, and the ball just slid past Glen Johnson, and Chen Xi passed by Glenn Johnson with a light flash!
"Oh~~~ Edison won in a contest of speed, and he passed Glenn Johnson with a light poke of the ball!"
The Liverpool fans in the stands couldn't help but cheer for Chen Xi's wonderful breakthrough.
At this time, Chen Xi had already chased the ball, and after observing the situation in the penalty area, he chose to cross the cut and rushed towards the direction of the penalty area!
Terry had no choice but to make up for Chen Xi, and Makelele immediately rushed into the penalty area to make up for Terry's position.
Before Terry rushed over, Chen Xi knocked the ball back to the penalty line. Because Gerald has outflanked him.
In the face of Chen Xi's extremely comfortable pass, Gerrard chose a more stable arch of his foot!
However, just as he was about to shoot, Frank Lampard behind him had already rushed back and gave him a shot behind Gerrard!
This affected Gerrard's center of gravity, and an unsteady foot pushed the ball directly into the stands!
Oh~~~ The Liverpool fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret.
"Oh my God! Gerrard has a flying shot, it's a great opportunity! ”
At this point, only Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard knew what was going on.
Gerald raised his hand and angrily pointed at the referee and shouted, "He pushed someone!! ”
Frank Lampard ran away as if nothing had happened, and the referee took one look before smiling and shaking his head. Although he also saw Lampard's small move, he felt that the ball was in the realm of a judgement or a non-judgement.
After seeing Gerrard's argument, Liverpool fans also knew that he must have suffered a loss, so they let out earth-shattering boos.
'In slow motion, Lampard did use small manoeuvres against Gerrard from behind. No wonder Gerrard missed such a great opportunity! Paul Mortenson also gave Gerrard a fair word after watching it in slow motion.
But it was the referee who had the right to decide on the field, and he said that there was no foul, even if the whole world said that the ball was fouled, it was useless.
And just like that, Liverpool missed a chance to score!
The Chelsea side who escaped were clearly demoralised and regained the initiative in the period that followed.
In the fifteenth minute of the game, they managed to tear apart the Liverpool defence.
After a succession of passes between Duff on the left, Bridge on the left and Frank Lampard in the middle, the ball reached Lampard's feet.
This season, after bringing in Claude Makelele, Ranieri also chose to free Frank Lampard, and it can be said that Lampard's current position at Chelsea is similar to that of Steven Gerrard at Liverpool.
At this time, after winning the ball on the left side of the edge of the box, Lampard directly stuffed the ball into the left side of the box!
Crespo stepped in at the right time, temporarily breaking away from Hyypia's defence and chasing the ball.
"It's a scalpel-like through ball and Crespo is about to have a one-on-one chance!"
Crespo was a little to the left of the penalty area when he chased the ball, and although the angle was a little small, it was not completely devoid of the angle of the shot.
The Argentine striker picked up his left foot, which caused Liverpool's defenders to rush towards him.
Hyypia made a sliding shovel directly at him from the diagonal stab.
At this time, Crespo's left foot did not shoot, but directly pushed the ball horizontally.
All eyes were on Crespo, not noting that another Chelsea striker, Mossel Hasselbaink, had appeared at the back of the box.
The Dutch striker faced Crespo's unselfish cross ball, and all he had to do was push it easily.
Even after seeing Crespo's intentions, Dudek was already struggling towards the far post, but he was still one step slower!
“gooooooooooal!!! Jimmy ~~~~~~~~~~ Hasselbaink!! The Dutch striker has earned the trust of manager Ranieri despite the introduction of a number of top attackers, and he has lived up to Ranieri's trust in him. His goal gave Chelsea the lead on the road. Of course, this goal was also thanks to the selfless Crespo, who attracted the defence and then won the chance for Hasselbaink to complete the fatal blow! ”
Some of the Chelsea fans who had travelled from London to Liverpool erupted in cheers of surprise after the ball hit the net.
Ranieri, who has always been calm on the sidelines, also jumped up from his seat excitedly.
He was under too much pressure during this period and this goal allowed him to release the pressure very well. Of course, if he wants to win real relief, he needs to win this and even more fights in the future.
At this time, Liverpool was depressed, just now they had another inevitable chance, because the opponent's foul interference ruined the opportunity, but in a blink of an eye, the opponent scored again. This is undoubtedly a huge blow for the Liverpool team!
Chen Xi spat in frustration, if it weren't for Frank Lampard's interference with the suspicion of fouling just now, Liverpool should be leading now!
In this way, a little more than a third of the way into the first half, the Liverpool team playing at home was behind!
After the restart of the game, the Liverpool team did not affect their emotions because of the goal just conceded, they were still in order, and did not blindly attack, after all, the two fast horses on the opponent's side are two sharp blades in the counterattack, and they may pierce the heart of the Liverpool team at any time.
However, Liverpool have come from strength on the pitch. Defensively, it's even more crisp.
The two full-backs, Finnan and Reese, had already broken the breakthrough of Chelsea's two wingers, Duff and Glen Shire, with their own clean tackles!
This lets Chelsea know that speed is rarely a trick that works!
In attack, Liverpool are also patiently looking for opportunities.
In the twentieth minute of the game, Chen Xi cut inside and fired a powerful long-range shot that kicked off the team's counterattack.
Three minutes later, Liverpool were once again attacking with a dangerous attack.
Glen Char's low cross was pushed out of the box by Carragher in the box, and Alonso outside the box received the ball and turned in one go, swept the front of the field, and directly found Huskey, who was already stuck in position.
The big black man was still firmly stuck in the position in the face of the equally strong Terry, and after seeing Chen Xi inserted on the left side, he directly sent the ball to the side with a ferry.
It has to be said that although Heskey's goalscoring ability is not very good, he is still very useful as a tactical center forward, which is an important reason why he can get the main position in the national team.
Chen Xi and Glenn Johnson once again competed for this speed, but this time the two were still engaged in physical confrontation on the way.
Although Glenn Johnson's size is also a small tank, it is obviously not enough compared to Chen Xi's Ferrari heavy tank.
Just when the two were entangled and saw that Glenn Johnson was about to touch the ball first, Chen Xi used his strong body to hit him.
This collision caused Glenn Johnson to kick the kick that he was originally going to clear directly.
"Glen Johnson misses clearance, this is an opportunity!"
Glenn Johnson, who kicked in the air, still needed a while to adjust his center of gravity, and Chen Xi had already dropped this little brother at this time and accelerated towards the ball alone!
Glen Johnson raised his hand to signal Chen Xi to foul and chased back. At this time, it was obviously difficult for him to catch up with Chen Xi.
After Chen Xi controlled the ball, he didn't even look at Glenn Johnson behind him, and directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area to kill!
In this way, Chen Xi completed a "return the favor with the other", using Lampard's way to play with his younger brother Glen Johnson, who used to be at West Ham and now at Chelsea.
John Terry was once again on the move, as were the rest of Chelsea's midfielders in a very short period of time.
After seeing this situation, Chen Xi gave up the idea of passing.
began to calmly step on the bicycle, this seemingly ineffective way of dribbling the ball, but at Chen Xi's feet, it became very incendiary.
Terry was very impulsive to destroy the ball with one kick, but considering Chen Xi's excellent technique, he did not dare to take it lightly. Instead, he can only change his focus with Chen Xi!
Terry, who was completely focused on Chen Xi, didn't notice that at this time, when he adjusted Chen Xi's center of gravity, he had accidentally exposed part of the goal behind him.
This is exactly what Chen Xi was waiting for, so when he saw the far post appear on Terry's left hand side, his right foot swiped over the ball again, and after his left foot was raised, he did not cross the ball, but coldly poked the ball with the outside of his toes!
By the time Terry reacted, the ball had already swirled across his left side and whittled towards the far post!
"Edison actually shot suddenly in this situation, which is really unexpected!"
Indeed, Chen Xi's shot was extremely sudden, no one expected that he would find the angle of the shot when Terry was in front of him, and the footwork of the outside of his left foot also made a good cover for his shot.
In front of goal, Cudicini was too late to make a save after seeing the ball coming past Terry.
Boom...... The net behind him was already shaking!
“what~a~goooooooooooal!!! Edison ~~~~~~~~~ Chen !! It was the first league goal of the season for Edison, the Golden Boot in the last league tournament, and his first goal for Liverpool at Anfield. Once again, he showed us what he can do as a magician, his dazzling footwork short-circuited Terry's mind, and he took advantage of a fleeting opportunity to put the ball in a very unique way! On the football field, there is nothing Edison couldn't do! ”
Boom~~~ After the ball entered the net, the stands were like a volcanic eruption, and the Red Army fans who were beating wildly were like gushing out of magma, and their enthusiasm was as hot as the temperature of the magma!
The coaches and substitute players on the sidelines were also ignited by Chen Xi's goal and celebrated wildly.
Benitez's flushed face reflected his excitement at the moment.
"Great! It's an outside-instep shot, and it's too difficult! ”
"Chen Xi, this guy is a magician on the court, what tricks he can't play?"
"yes, this ball is so hit, Terry and Cudicini are dumbfounded!"
"Niang Xipi, I didn't come to Liverpool in vain today!"
…… Yang Xu and others in the stands were also excited to applaud Chen Xi's goal.
Chen Xi, the hero of the goal, was already excited to rush to the KOP stand where the Reds' most die-hard fans were.
He frantically rushed to the billboard on the sidelines, waving his hands vigorously, fanning the atmosphere in the stands!
"Edison ~~~~~~~"
"Chen !!"
"Edison ~~~~~~~"
"Chen !!"
"Edison ~~~~~~~"
"Chen !!"
The live commentators in the stands played a name relay with the fans, cheering for Chen Xi, who scored his first goal at Anfield in his Reds career.
Chen Xi felt like he was in a dream at this point, considering that just a year ago, one of his hat-tricks had made him one of Anfield's least popular players. Today, the fans of the Red Army are collectively shouting Chen Xi's name.
After receiving the cheers of the most die-hard fans in the KOP stand, Chen Xi knew that he had truly integrated into the great club of Liverpool!
This also made Chen Xi very excited, you give me all the enthusiasm, I will give the most perfect performance!
Soon, Chen Xi's teammates also rushed up, this is Liverpool's first goal in the league in the new season, so naturally they have to celebrate.
At this time, Glenn Johnson, who was yin by Chen Xi just now, was pestering the referee to complain about Chen Xi's foul just now.
At first, the referee smiled at him, and then simply ignored him.
You had such a situation just now, I didn't blow it, and now they have the same situation, if I blow it, how can I continue to enforce the law in this game? This is Anfield, Liverpool's home stadium!
The referee was not angry and thought that he was very helpless about Glenn Johnson's stunned "incomprehensible style"!
In this way, after falling behind, it took Liverpool less than ten minutes to recover the score, and the two teams were back on the same running line!
(To be continued)
