Anderlecht is a famous Belgian football club founded in 1908 and its home stadium is located in Anderlecht, Brussels-capital-district.

In 1947, Anderlecht won the league title for the first time, and since then it has become a well-deserved hegemon of Belgium, and in the 70s it dominated European football, becoming one of Belgium's most successful football teams, winning five European titles and 29 domestic league titles.

However, with the development of modern football, the development of small national league clubs has been limited by many restrictions, and after entering the 21st century, although Anderlecht is still outstanding in China, due to the general decline in the strength of small national leagues, Anderlecht has been difficult to have an excellent performance in Europe, and can only play the role of a nest.

This is Anderlecht.

A team with a rich history and still showing excellence, but limited to the entire league, it cannot compete with the European giants.

They are Liverpool's opponents in the third round of the Champions League group stage.

On this day, the Konstan Van den Stock Stadium is full, and the Anderlecht match against Liverpool has begun.

The Belgian fans were still friendly, there were plenty of flags on the pitch to welcome Liverpool, and in fact, the two teams were peaceful before the game, with no verbal conflicts.

"I'm looking forward to the game." Benitez said before the game, "It's going to be a tough battle, Anderlecht are a strong team, a difficult opponent, and if you are careless, you can lose to them, so I tell my players to keep their spirits up." ”

The compliment seemed to have worked, and Anderlecht boss Wecottrand was grinning all the time, and he didn't hesitate to praise Liverpool's stars.

'They have a lot of stars, Steven Gerrard, Chang, Cisse, Hyypia, Carragher and so on and I really wish one of them belonged to Anderlecht. That will make it easier for us to play. ”

The mutual compliments between the two managers made the atmosphere good before the game.

When it came to the game, the two teams started to play very peacefully, basically there were no big fouls in the first 20 minutes, and the two teams were very unfamiliar with each other, so the opening was mainly to test the attack, and Anderlecht put a lot of effort on defense. They know the gap to Liverpool and even at home it will be very difficult for them to win.

They did a decent job defensively and Liverpool didn't get a good chance in the first 20 minutes.

However, as the clock ticked on, Liverpool's attack intensified and soon they had their first good chance, which was on the left side of the penalty area, when Jamie Carragher cut in a long-range shot that hit the Anderlecht defender. Talking about the middle, in the chaos, Cisse pushed the ball to the feet of Zhang Tiehan, and in the face of the two guards, Zhang Tiehan cushioned the ball to the left front, and Gerrard inserted a direct push into the far corner to score the ball.

“Gooal！ Gerald—"

The England commentators were already reporting the goal and the Liverpool players were celebrating, but at this time. The referee did not signal that the goal was valid, but looked at the linesman. The linesman raised the flag to signal that Gerrard was offside.

"Offside?"

"Impossible!"

"How so?"

Liverpool players surrounded the referee and asked for an explanation, just when Zhang Tiehan passed, the penalty area was chaotic, he only saw a red figure inserted and passed, in his mind it was unlikely to be offside, but the linesman was raising the flag.

But the referee has made a decision and will not change it. Liverpool can only regroup and prepare for another fight.

At this time, various TV stations have begun to replay the slow motion of the goal, and it can be seen in the slow motion that at the moment when Zhang Tiehan passed the ball, Gerrard and the Anderlecht defenders were basically in the same position, to say offside...... Maybe it's possible to be a corner of clothing. Whether this kind of ball is judged or not depends entirely on the referee, and it can be said that it is offside in the past, and there are more times when it is not offside.

Anyway, the first goal was blown away.

Fortunately, Anderlecht is not a strong team, Liverpool is still in the upper hand after regrouping, but there are still no good chances in the first half, after all, Anderlecht is very resolute in defense.

At half-time, Benitez stressed the need to keep the mentality.

In the second half, Liverpool launched a fierce attack at the beginning, and soon they got another chance, it was Zhang Tiehan suddenly rushed to the left front of the penalty area to find the opportunity, after winning the ball, he turned around and shook off the Anderlecht defender, and it was a powerful volley!

At the same time as the shot was taken, the Anderlecht player was thrown to the ground as he turned.

The ball flew straight towards the goal, and the Anderlecht goalkeeper had nothing to do about it, he stood still and could only watch the ball fly to his side.

“Goooal！？”

The England commentator was just about to shout a goal, when he saw the referee blowing the whistle and running to Zhang Tiehan's side to signal a foul, "Foul ahead?" ”

The commentator exclaimed, hurriedly checked the slow-motion replay, and found that Zhang Tiehan did collide with the Anderlecht defender before the shot, and the unlucky Anderlecht defender was hit and fell directly to the ground, but this kind of collision is often considered a reasonable collision, after all, the side with the ball is advantageous, and the football never leaves Zhang Tiehan's feet.

Zhang Tiehan was also talking to the referee, but his tone was not explaining anything.

"That's a reasonable collision! Lao Tzu didn't foul! ”

"How did you punish it!"

"Oh yes! I passed a good ball just now, you blew it, and now you still blow the goal!? ”

Zhang Tiehan waved his fist as he spoke, and the posture was almost up to the referee to punch him, looking at this, Gerrard who ran over hurriedly pulled him away, the referee may have wanted to blow Liverpool two balls, so he didn't give Zhang Tiehan a card to eat, despite this, the Liverpool players also have a lot of opinions about him, and they don't look at the referee's eyes very friendly, after all, two goals in a row were blown away, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, anyone will have grievances.

It was already the second half of the game.

After some entanglement, the referee finally firmed his decision, Anderlecht escaped again, and in the next game, Liverpool attacked more fiercely. Anderlecht are also trying to defend, but the defence has been precarious under the onslaught of Liverpool.

Finally, in the 81st minute, Alonso sent a brilliant ball and Gerrard burst into the Anderlecht defence again to push the ball into the back of the net.

This ball is clean and pretty and beautiful!

When it came to scoring, there were almost no commentators reporting the goal, and they all looked at the referee, even the Liverpool players and Anderlecht players, the Liverpool players were afraid of the referee blowing another one, and Anderlecht prayed that the referee would favor them again.

But such a wonderful goal, no matter how much the referee is biased towards Anderlecht, it is impossible to blow it off, unless he does not want to work in the refereeing industry.

He still blew the goal to work.

It was only at this moment that the Liverpool players celebrated happily, and Anderlecht watched with gloom, three goals in a game, the referee 'helped' them twice, and in the end they did not escape.

One to zero.

'Liverpool's goals were hard to come by, the first two goals were blown off, and in this situation, it is not easy to play with a calm mind. But they withstood the pressure and Gerrard's shot was brilliant as they took a 1-0 lead over Anderlecht......

Many commentators were praising Liverpool's spirit of play.

It's not easy to keep your mentality after being blown two balls, and it's quite commendable.

The Belgian commentator blamed the Anderlecht team for not being angry, "They had a chance, but they were defending all over the field, where is our Belgian attacking football?" ”

Anderlecht have always played attacking football in the Belgian league, and for this they have won the hearts of many Belgian fans, and even outside the capital, there are many fans who enjoy watching Anderlecht play.

But in this game, Anderlecht did not show the slightest desire to attack.

They seemed to be trying to hold on to a point from the first minute of the game, rather than trying to win the game, and that was at the Constant van den Stock Stadium, and at Anfield, it was clear what they could do.

"It's hard to imagine how they can make it out of the group like this......

So says the Belgian commentator.

His words of disappointment also seemed to dominate the game, and in the rest of the game, Liverpool were still attacking, while Anderlecht remained on the defensive for most of the time, and for a few minutes they seemed to be looking for an equaliser, but it was clear that the team had different minds in the front and back.

The frontcourt players attacked, but the backcourt players fell far behind and did not follow, as if they were worried about Liverpool's counterattack, and as a result, the attack was anticlimactic, and the formation was a mess.

Fortunately, the frontcourt player was good and did not let Liverpool complete the counter-attack, otherwise this would likely be another good opportunity for Liverpool.

The match between the two teams ended 0:1.

In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is behind, and Liverpool won this away game, with two wins and one draw in three Champions League group games.

The results are still good.

But the process is very depressing, especially Zhang Tiehan, he is the most depressed person, a wonderful assist and a goal were blown away, he was the best in the game, but because of the referee's two penalties...... He didn't contribute at all, he said he did.

Steven Gerrard was the Man of the Match award.

Although he has a good relationship with Gerrard, Zhang Tiehan still has all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart, the honor should belong to him, and the bottle of champagne should also belong to him.

In dismay, Zhang Tiehan took Gerrard to the dressing room, grabbed the champagne that was about to open the bottle of celebration and put it in his backpack, planning to take it back to Liverpool and drink it alone at home, "This belongs to me." ”

Zhang Tiehan said domineeringly.

Gerald rolled his eyes, he really couldn't do anything about Zhang Tiehan.

As a result, everyone celebrated the victory with beer, and Zhang Tiehan drank a glass and even said that Belgian beer is not as authentic as England's, and everyone laughed at it.

They feel that if they deal with Zhang Tiehan, their IQ will really become lower.

Ahem, ahem...... (To be continued......)
