When Zhang Tiehan came on the field, Liverpool was like a different team.

They didn't drag their feet so much on offense, they were a lot more decisive in passing and receiving, and even the forward passes were a lot more decisive.

Defensively, with Zhang Tiehan in the front, Liverpool chooses more to press all over the field and start intercepting in the front, rather than retreating in formation to stop Benfica from attacking.

These changes made Benfica very passive for a while, they didn't expect Liverpool to just change a person, and there were these big changes in the tactical play, and they were a little uncomfortable for a while.

But Liverpool won't give them a chance to adapt.

In fact, the level of Liverpool players is higher than Benfica, although Benfica is a giant in the Portuguese Super League, but after all, it is only the Portuguese Super League, Liverpool is the four giants of the Premier League, the strength of the squad is very strong, each player's ability is higher than Benfica, the change of tactics and the suppression of the team's comprehensive strength, after the appearance of Zhang Tiehan, a one-sided suppression was formed on the field, which many people did not expect.

Including those reporters, those media commentators, and even Anfield Liverpool fans, even Benitez did not expect that Zhang Tiehan's appearance would have such an effect.

Before Zhang Tiehan could exert his power, the whole Liverpool team was powerful.

Seeing this situation, Benfica coach Coman also scratched his head, but he couldn't help it, the tactics on the field could not be changed because they were suppressed for a while, he only hoped that the team could cope with this period of time, as long as they adapted to the game, it would be much better.

Benfica's defense is really good.

They are known for their defense in the Portuguese Super League and the Champions League, and Zhang Tiehan played ten minutes. Liverpool's attack was fluid, pressing on the field and even allowing Benfica to fail a good attack, but they also failed to score.

Zhang Tiehan's table is really good.

He stood in Benfica's penalty area, staring at the pressure of two or three defenders, looking for opportunities to head the goal again and again, although the opponent's defense against him was very tight, but Zhang Tiehan still had two attacks, all with the top of his head, but he didn't find too much feeling, two shots. Once a football rushed straight into the arms of the goalkeeper. There was also a time when the ball flew over the crossbar and off the baseline.

Despite not scoring a goal, the media did not rate him badly.

"Ten minutes, two headers, Zhang's table is quite strong. Although there is no goal yet yet. But keep going like this. It's only a matter of time before the goal is broken. ”

"Benitez's decisive choice to let Zhang play was wise."

'Zhang's dominance in the box is not comparable to Cisse's, and although he has only been injured for three months, he has been so imposing in his first appearance. This is Zhang! Liverpool's number thirteen! ”

However, Zhang Tiehan was not satisfied with his appearance.

In his opinion, not scoring is the same as not showing his face, he is always looking for good opportunities, he knows that he is playing now to score, and he is looking forward to scoring - he has not played for three months, and he has not scored, it is really about to suffocate him.

Goals, goals, goals, just goals!

For Zhang Tiehan, with a team like Benfica, especially when the opponent is not prepared for his own defense, it is not difficult to score, what he lacks is just a chance, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely be able to score, this is his belief and his firmness.

During this time, Zhang Tiehan stayed in the Benfica penalty area, he is Liverpool's central striker at the top of the front, and while looking for opportunities, he will also maximise the role of his tactical central striker - attract more defence and create opportunities for his teammates.

But the desire to score has not changed, and Zhang Tiehan has been waiting.

He will pass the ball to his teammates many times in general opportunities, after all, he does not belong to the kind of striker who relies on luck to score goals, and if he is not sure in his heart, Zhang Tiehan will not shoot impatiently, it is just a waste of an offensive opportunity.

In such a state of mind, in the next ten minutes, Zhang Tiehan's expression was not too prominent.

In the twenty minutes he played, there were only three shots on goal, all of which were the same overhead, which made the Benfica defenders underestimate Zhang Tiehan a little, and they felt that although Zhang Tiehan was strong in the penalty area, he was just the kind of tall man who was good at heading, nothing particularly remarkable.

As the first half ended, Benfica's defense didn't know when to relax.

Zhang Tiehan gave the opportunity to his team-mates, and the rest of Liverpool had a lot more chances, and they were not polite to the Benfica goal, with Gerrard and Morientes both having two shots on goal in the space of twenty minutes, as well as one chance on the wing, and even defender Hyypia had a long-range shot.

Although they didn't score, the frequent shots still put Benfica's goal in danger.

But in the end they held.

The game entered stoppage time, Benfica got the ball and prepared for a wave of advancement, their players all exhaled, under the pressure of more than 20 minutes of attack, they have been defending, they feel that they have survived, and now it is their turn to attack.

They kept passing the ball and changing advances.

As Benfica continued to pass the ball, Liverpool's formation retreated a little to prevent Benfica from suddenly bursting forward.

Zhang Tiehan retreated to midfield.

He stood on the halfway line, watching the football roll around in the opponent's half, and did not rush forward, but slowly stood in the midfield and came to the side of No. 16 Beto, who is the core of Benfica's midfield, and he is the initiator of the general attack.

Zhang Tiehan chose him.

Defensively, Zhang Tiehan can't defend with the team's formation, but his surprising tackling ability often has good results, at least Benfica doesn't know, he feels he can take advantage of this.

He believes that as long as the opponent passes the ball to Beto, then relying on the ability to 'see through', he has a chance to complete the steal.

Benfica made a couple more passes in their own half, and finally they couldn't help but attack, and the ball was handed to full-back Fernandes.

Fernandez's name is Manuel, and he is a 19-year-old Benfica youngster who made his first appearance for Benfica's first team at the age of 17 and was ruthless. Tenacious and professional, he is always reminiscent of Makelele.

Fernandes' biggest feature is his excellent midfield sweep, but Fernandes, who grew up playing street football with Nani, who is also a new golden generation, is also flashy, and he often makes some surprising dribbles in midfield, although manager Coman has reminded him more than once, Fernandes is only 19 years old after all, and young players still like to show off their skills.

It's the same this time.

After Fernandes won the ball, he wanted to get past Alonso when he saw that only Alonso was coming to intercept, Alonso's defense was actually not good, but this time Fernandes started a little early. Alonso took a step back with experience. Let Fernandes start, but the position is a little awkward, and then go forward to bring Alonso can easily break the ball, critical moment. Fernandez reacted quickly. He glanced around and saw Beto. He didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Beto.

As the core, Beto's personal ability is still very strong.

When he saw Zhang Tiehan cruising around him, Beto didn't take it seriously. He didn't think that Zhang Tiehan was here to guard himself, but he still subconsciously stood a little to the left and jogged towards Liverpool's half, when Fernandez's pass came, Beto was also doing the same, he didn't take the initiative to meet the ball, he didn't think there was any danger in this ball.

But the next moment, there was a dark shadow in front of him.

Before he could react, the ball had already been stopped first, and before Beto realized he had been tackled, he had time to look up and see a big '13' dribbling away.

It's their thirteenth Zhang Tiehan!

Beto was startled and hurriedly caught up.

"A clean steal!" The British BBC sports commentator exclaimed, "It's Zhang! His reaction speed is astonishing! Beto didn't react at all! Let's see! This ball, Zhang completely relied on judgment and explosiveness to complete the steal, without any superfluous movements, just one step ahead of the main position, and the football naturally came to his feet"

Surprising!

Just like the BBC commentator said, Zhang Tiehan didn't use other abilities at all, it was completely by virtue of his explosiveness, seeing Fernandez pass the ball to Beto, he immediately stuck in the main position, which is easy to say, but ordinary people definitely can't do it, because they don't have Zhang Tiehan's explosiveness, even if they know that they can grab the ball by doing so, they can't do it at all.

This is the gap in ability!

However, the fans didn't have time to sigh, and the TV commentary didn't have time to play back any steal screens, everyone stared at Zhang Tiehan who took the ball, at this time Beto had followed from behind, Zhang Tiehan had just crossed the halfway line, due to the defense just now, Liverpool's formation was very backward, Zhang Tiehan did not have any teammates in front of him, and the Benfica players saw that the team was stealed, and they also desperately retreated for the first time.

But it's a good chance to fight back!

Zhang Tiehan was going to quickly dribble the ball to launch a counterattack at the first time, at this time, he glanced at the Benfica goal out of the corner of his eye, after so many games, he has a lot of experience, he knows that it is quite important to observe the form of the game, analyze the form of the game, analyze the best options, often bring unexpected benefits, and blindly dribbling forward, sometimes it will only waste the team's offensive opportunities.

That's it for now

When Zhang Tiehan's eyes looked further, he found that Benfica's goalkeeper Moretto was wearing gloves? No, it should be checking the gloves, at this time he didn't even notice that Benfica was stealed, and thought that his team was attacking, he was very comfortable checking the gloves, as if he wanted to see if there were any threads exposed at the stitches of the gloves, in short, he was very comfortable.

Zhang Tiehan almost immediately came up with the idea of shooting.

This is a great opportunity!

But he still hesitated, after all, this is a little too far from the middle line, but Moretto gave him confidence again, when Zhang Tiehan took another step forward to dodge Beto's counter-robbery, Moretto still did not look up, so Zhang Tiehan no longer hesitated, he put the ball to the right a little, and then waved his right foot high, and pumped it heavily on the football!

And that's not all there is to it.

If you look closely, you can see that the moment Zhang Tiehan's right foot touches the football, there is a small swing, which makes the moment the football rushes up from the grass, brings some spin, and also makes the football rush from the ground more powerful.

This is the change in Zhang Tiehan's shooting after having 'qi'.

In the past, he would only use the brute force of his whole body to kick, but now his shooting is very technical, and at the same time, 'qi' brings him the ability to recover, but also brings a lot of skills to use strength, which is not what he learned from 'qi', but 'qi' itself is a skill, an extreme thing produced by the use of power to the extreme, and the extreme thing produced by physical exercise to the extreme, it itself represents absolute strength and skill, so Zhang Tiehan will also use some of the attributes of 'qi' unconsciously.

That's what this kick is.

The soccer ball rotates inward in the air, and at first it does not have much effect, but when it reaches the highest point, after the spin has accumulated enough, it suddenly falls, and this kind of ball is often called -

Deciduous balls!

Under the eyes of everyone in the audience, Zhang Tiehan kicked the ball towards the goal with a big foot, which felt like a big foot to clear the siege, but no one would look at it like this, because the football went straight into the air, and the horizontal direction was the Benfica goal.

But the Benfica fans who came to Anfield with the team have long been out of the mood for a long time.

They shouted to remind Moretto to watch the goal, and Moretto came to his senses at the cries of the fans and the shouts of his teammates, and he took one look at the football and ran backwards towards the goal, ready to meet the goal.

But this ball is rather spooky.

When the football rises to the highest point, it suddenly falls, the speed and direction are really amazing, Moretto just retreated to the goal to face such a ball, he immediately felt nervous, in some panic, watching the football fall directly into the goal, but did not know how to react.

He froze.

Even when the football entered the goal, he looked back and didn't know what to do. He only felt that the ball was too weird, and he couldn't judge the route of the ball just now when it fell into the goal.

That's what Moretto feels like.

When Moretto was in a daze, the Anfield stadium had been detonated, and countless Liverpool fans let out a cry of surprise, this goal came really surprised, they didn't expect the goal to come so suddenly, Benfica was still attacking at the last moment, and Liverpool scored the next moment.

And it's such an earth-shattering shot!

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooa1！！！！！！” The BBC Sports TV commentator roared without hesitation, and the ball was a surprise to him.

"Hanging shot! Oh, God! Sheet! Incredible slinging! ”

He said so.

"Just now Zhang scored a hanging shot from 50 meters away! This may also have something to do with Benfica goalkeeper Moretto's mistake, he didn't get back in front of goal in the first place, but the goal went in anyway! Zhang scored a magical goal for Liverpool at Anfield, making it 1-1 between the two teams. ”

The commentator said a lot more, basically the score of the two teams or something, but when the screen was inserted into the slow-motion replay, he didn't have the heart to say this.

The whole slow motion, most of which is a footage of a football flying in the air.

Rise to the highest point and fall!

Straight down!

From the time it fell to the time it entered the goal, the football even completed a sunken arc, as if it were a delicate head-on drill into the goal, rather than falling directly into it, and that arc made many people dumbfounded, and the BBC sports commentator was the same, he muttered for a long time before holding back a sentence, "This is simply art!"
