Therefore, Liverpool still attaches great importance to defense, the two central defenders have been pulled at the end of the formation, and the other defensive players will retreat to defend as soon as possible after inserting the attack.

Overall, Liverpool is still stable.

In the continuous transition of attack and defense, Zhang Tiehan is also adapting to the game, it may be difficult to say that this is adaptation, he has always been the core of Liverpool's frontcourt attack, teammates frequently pass the ball over, Zhang Tiehan hit the Benfica defense with the ball again and again, as long as he has the opportunity he will not be stingy with a shot, such a table is quite dazzling and strong, but in fact, Zhang Tiehan is constantly adapting.

In any case, he hasn't played for three months.

After three months without a game, Zhang Tiehan felt that his condition was not at his best, and sometimes some of the running positions in the attack would be a little unfamiliar, and the whole team was different from three months ago, they were also adapting to themselves, which was a process of mutual adaptation.

At the same time, Zhang Tiehan's watch is also getting better and better.

With the smooth running and coordination, Zhang Tiehan's opportunities are more and more, better and better, and his threat to Benfica is naturally getting bigger and bigger, within five minutes, he threatened the Benfica goal twice in a row, if it weren't for the opponent's goalkeeper Moretto to watch Xiàn good, saving good balls in a row, Liverpool has rewritten the score.

This kind of on-field shape makes Benfica coach Koeman very worried.

He originally wanted the team to stabilize the defense and seek counterattack opportunities, so that the team would play very steadily, but he didn't expect Liverpool's attack to play so smoothly, and their table was so good, especially Zhang Tiehan. The player has not played for three months, although Koeman was taken aback when he knew before the game that Zhang Tiehan was going to play. But in fact, he still thinks that Zhang Tiehan won't be too good, after all, he hasn't played for three months, so why should he adapt to the game?

As a result

As a result, just look at the field now, that guy is definitely a pervert yes, that's what Coman thinks now, a player who hasn't played for three months. As soon as he came on the field, he was able to show that he was so strong, what is it that is not a pervert?

Watching such a game, Coman was really shocked. His eyes were staring at his goal without blinking, lest it would break again in the first time he turned his head.

He can only pray to God that the team will not concede a goal.

But God may still be asleep and did not hear Koman's prayers. Or maybe Koman wasn't a loyal believer in the first place. God hears prayers and ignores him.

Anyway, Liverpool scored again.

It was in the 72nd minute of the game, Gerrard and Reeser completed a succession of passes and catches, and stuffed the ball to Alonso, who took the ball and handed the ball directly to the feet of Morientes on the left side of the penalty area with a precise scalpel-like pass.

Morientes didn't stop the ball, but pushed it straight to the ball, and the ball quickly rolled past the feet of the two defenders towards the line of the small penalty area.

On that side. Both Zhang Tiehan and Reese ran forward, but Zhang Tiehan was caught between two players. As a result, he couldn't keep up at the first time, and Riser ran to the point, but he could only barely shoot with his feet, and the ball hit goalkeeper Moretto and bounced off the bottom line.

Liverpool win a corner.

It was Reeser who went to the penalty shot.

Reese's ability is very comprehensive, Benitez values him and always starts him, because he can play in any position, full-back, full-back, even central midfielder, forward, Reese is competent, and his ability is also very comprehensive, his long ball has always been very good, although he is not the top in the team, but he is definitely very qualified.

When Gerrard doesn't make free throws, he and Garcia are the second free throwers.

Zhang Tiehan stood in front of the Benfica goal, waved to Reese, and at the same time crooked his fingers back, Reese and Zhang Tiehan were very familiar, and when they saw his movements, they were stunned and nodded.

Outside the box, Alonso walked forward.

Reese took two steps back and ran forward to take the free throw, but he hit the ball behind it, and instead of flying, the ball rolled straight towards Alonso, almost at the same time Zhang Tiehan ran out violently.

It was then that Benfica realised it was a tactical corner and they rushed to split up.

But it's too late!

The defenders couldn't keep up with Zhang's movements, and Zhang ran to the penalty line with ease, while Alonso's pass rolled over.

What's next-

Stop, turn, volley!

Coherent!

Zhang Tiehan did not hesitate to shoot, which caused the Benfica defenders to panic, but the ball hit the right post and bounced out.

Zhang Tiehan was full of confidence, he felt so good when he shot just now, but he didn't expect the football to hit the goalpost, he covered his face with some annoyance, at this moment, his eyes skimmed to the referee blew the whistle, and his finger pointed to the middle circle.

"What?" Zhang Tiehan was stunned.

That's when he realized that the football was already in the goal.

The ball went in!?

There was chaos in the penalty area just now, he didn't know where the football went, he didn't see it clearly at all, but the shouts of the fans in the audience gave him some explanations.

"Well done!"

"Gerald! Gerrard! Gerrard! ”

“Goal！ Gerard GOAL! ”

With the goal, there was an excited shout in the stands, and at this time the big screen was also playing back the goal just now, Zhang Tiehan's turn and volley was quite crisp, and the football bounced to the goal after hitting the post.

But Gerard jumped at his chance!

The football bumped into a Benfica player, and it bounced directly at Gerrard's feet, Gerrard stabbed his toes for the first time, and the football rolled over the goal line, and goalkeeper Moretto didn't have the slightest expression at all, even if he was magical in the second half, he didn't know where the football was at the moment.

I guess even if he saw it, he couldn't do anything about it

The ball is in!

2:0。

The goal was significant for Liverpool, allowing them to leapfrog Benfica in the scoreline. So the media supporting Liverpool were quite excited, and the BBC sports radio commentator interpreted the goal with a shout, "Well done!" Gerrard! Gerrard! He took advantage of the chaos in front of Benfica. Send the ball into the goal with one kick! Two to zero! Two rounds two to one! Liverpool overtook the scoreline! ”

"We can see how calm Gerard is!"

"At the moment of shooting, there was no trace of joy on his face, no trace of panic, he just calmly kicked the ball into the goal, and when he saw the ball go in, Gerrard turned around and celebrated! This is Gerald! Gerald forever! ”

"He's the captain of Liverpool! He is the flag of Liverpool! He's the soul of Liverpool! As long as Gerrard is around, Liverpool will always be a strong army! ”

The media commentators were constantly praising Gerrard. At this time, Gerrard had already hugged Zhang Tiehan, and Gerrard was actually not very excited about the goal. It's not the first time he's scored a goal, it's not the first time he's scored in the Champions League, it's more about helping the team get ahead of the scoreline.

He's pretty happy!

Match with Benfica. Liverpool are under a lot of pressure. As Gerrard, who loves the team deeply, he also has a lot of pressure, until he knows that Zhang Tiehan can play, Gerrard's pressure is a little less, and now that the team has the advantage, he has a reason to be happy and a reason to revel.

Zhang Tiehan kept patting Gerrard's back, "Congratulations." Steven! He said so.

"Thank you! Thank you! Gerald responded with constant thanks.

The big screen camera pointed to the Liverpool bench, and Liverpool coach Benitez was seen standing on the field and constantly waving his fists. It can be seen that the Spaniards are also quite happy.

Other Liverpool players are also celebrating.

It was a goal that really meant a lot for the team, as it put them ahead and meant that if the game ended there, they would have eliminated Benfica and reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Benfica, in turn, was rather unhappy......

They also know that the only thing they can do now is to wait for the game to restart and then go on the attack, go on the attack and after conceding two goals they have no choice.

Soon the game resumed.

Benfica changed the passivity just now and took the initiative to look for scoring opportunities, at this time the shape of the two teams has been reversed, Liverpool is not in a hurry to attack, they need to stabilize the defense, and Benfica has to attack, they must score if they want to eliminate Liverpool.

In such a mentality, the two teams played an equal position in the next game.

The difference is that Liverpool play more consistently, and the occasional attack can create a big threat, Benfica play is very unstable, they are in a hurry to score goals again and again, and many times they will choose to shoot when they don't have a good chance.

It's easy to imagine what kind of threat this kind of play can be.

At the same time, Benfica's defense is not so solid.

In the 81st minute, when Benfica was attacking a wave, he made a mistake on the side, Reese seized the opportunity to complete the steal directly, and passed the ball to Gerrard, who passed straight to Zhang Tiehan in front.

Zhang Tiehan quickly played the ball forward, using his speed to shake two Benfica defenders in succession.

Use only speed!

"Zhang! He's running! The on-site commentator shouted, and the Anfield pitch grew louder.

In the cheering voice of the fans, Zhang Tiehan's speed almost reached the limit, and the Benfica players who followed him were unable to catch up at all.

He played straight into the Benfica penalty area.

Moretto strikes!

This is almost a decisive encounter, if Zhang Tiehan can score the goal, it means that the game between the two teams is over, Benfica can not eliminate Liverpool even if they recover a goal, and can only regret to be out.

If the ball doesn't go in, then Benfica have ten minutes left.

Just look at this confrontation!

Everyone stared at the collision between Moretto and Zhang Tiehan, Moretto had a good table in the second half, the butter hand saved a lot of dangerous balls, but this time it was a single knife, Zhang Tiehan's single knife, he also kicked in his heart.

When attacking, Moretto spreads his arms and tries to seal all angles.

Zhang Tiehan also slowed down slowly, constantly staring at Moretto's movements, this is not only a football contest, but also a mental contest.

The two are getting closer.

Finally, when the distance was about three meters, Zhang Tiehan got up, and Moretto made a subconscious pounce, but Zhang Tiehan made a false move, and he picked the ball over Moretto's head with his toes.

However, because the speed was too fast just now, Zhang Tiehan couldn't control it a little, and as a result, after the football flew over Moretto's head, he continued to want to fly, and then hit the crossbar and bounced out.

The ball is in!

The moment the ball flew into the goal, the Anfield Stadium was once again in a sea of cheers, and in the midst of the cheers, Benfica coach Koeman looked helpless, two goals down, and he knew that they had no chance. (To be continued......)
