Chapter 703: Half-time

Although Liverpool's strength is stronger than Fiorentina, but there is no gap between the two sides, Fiorentina occupies the advantage of the home field, and the fighting spirit and morale are stronger than Liverpool, Liverpool wants to take advantage of Fiorentina It is very difficult, after twenty minutes, most of the players on both sides are in Liverpool's half-field activities, the number of shots, Fiorentina also rushed Liverpool, it seems that they are only time away from equalizing.

At this time, Fiorentina is not without hidden worries, this hidden worry is Chen Yu's strong ability to score goals, don't look at Liverpool is very passive now, Liverpool has won 17 consecutive games, of which there are many passive times, many times it is relying on Chen Yu's sudden blow to change the situation on the field.

Now it looks like Fiorentina could equalize at any time, but if Liverpool scores another goal, the score becomes I, Fiorentina will fall into a desperate situation again, and with Liverpool's old spiciness, they will definitely not give Fiorentina a chance to close the gap and take the initiative.

However, there is no good way to limit Chen Yu Prandelli, although Prandelli has taken Chen Yu for two years, but Chen Yu has been too comprehensive in these two seasons, he is almost omnipotent, even the goalkeeper has played, and he is extremely good in any position, how do you let Prandelli defend Chen Yu.

Before the game, Prandelli made a targeted deployment to Chen Yu, Fiorentina's current players and Chen Yu did not change much before leaving, these players are very familiar with Chen Yu, Prandelli's deployment is absolutely unscrupulous, but the opening still let Chen Yu score two goals, and then want Chen Yu not to score a goal, which is obviously very difficult.

However, now it seems that the Spanish referee Cantalejo is still more tolerant of the home team, and the Italian defenders are extremely talented in defense, and soon tested the scale and tendency of the referee, they took hidden foul actions on the defensive Chen Yu and Liverpool's arrowheads, and the goal was set under the scale of yellow cards, trying to destroy players like Chen Yu, Crouch, and Gerrard to get the ball, provoke them, and make them lose their cool.

Liverpool's players were visibly affected after the minute, unhappy with the referee's decision, but their complaints did not have an effect, causing some players' emotions to fluctuate so much that they affected their technical and tactical skills.

However, Liverpool have the most experience in European competition and cup competition, they know what to do at this time, without the command of manager Benitez, the players take the initiative to retreat and shrink, compress their backfield space, use the number of people to counter Fiorentina's attack, ready to consume until half-time, when there is 15 minutes of adjustment time, they can interrupt the opponent's exuberant momentum, let the two sides get back to the starting line.

Fiorentina's coach Prandelli saw Liverpool's intentions, but he didn't have a good way, with Liverpool's defensive ability, they contracted the defense, even Barcelona could hardly break their goal, let alone Fiorentina, which was not as strong as Barcelona.

Prandley didn't dare to let the players all press on, let it go, Liverpool's counterattack is famous, and Chen Yu's big killer, if they let go, the biggest possibility is not to score, but to be counterattacked by Liverpool.

The time of the game passed slowly in the attrition of Liverpool, and in the blink of an eye it was 4o minutes, during this time, Liverpool only got one chance to counterattack, but at the expense of the counterattack, Liverpool did not let Fiorentina play a threatening attack, Fiorentina's center Toney only had one header, and it was far off the post.

Fiorentina is still in control of the ball at the moment, after a series of ineffective possession, the players' feelings gradually began to be impatient, seeing that the time of the first half is about to pass, Fiorentina players want to take advantage of these few minutes to boldly attack, even if they can't score, Liverpool has very little time to counterattack.

When breaking the dense defense, the best thing is to use the width of the court to open up the defense in the middle, otherwise the opponent players are concentrated in the middle, and even the most delicate team will not be able to penetrate through the middle.

However, there are only a few attacking players, and it is impossible to rely on attacking players alone to open up the defense in the middle, and at this time, only two full-backs can assist.

As soon as Toney said hello, manager Prandelli acquiesced, and Fiorentina's two full-backs, Pasquier and Ujfarusi, rushed to Liverpool's front.

Pasquier and Ujfarusi are both first-class defenders, they assist to the front, Liverpool must make a response, they either withdraw their full-backs to the bottom line, or they are from the center to the wing, the middle of the division is in the arms of Fiorentina, but the full-back retreat to such a deep position, Liverpool's counterattack is gone, once there is no threat of counterattack, the opponent's attack is unscrupulous, the threat is not less than the middle of the division.

At this time, Liverpool's manager Rafael Benitez still chose a conservative tactic, allowing the full-backs to retreat to the side of the full-backs and defend with all their might, leaving one Crouch in front.

Such a transfer is a clear signal for both players, Liverpool will be full of strength to hold on for the final minutes, so Fiorentina also let go of their hands and feet to attack the hardest since the start of the game.

Fiorentina has Toney's high point in the middle, they do not deliberately pursue the bottom cross, when they can't get off the bottom line, they directly drop the ball at a 45-degree angle on both sides of the penalty area, make the most of Toney's height to grab points and ferry, and let their midfielders and even central defenders press headers and long-range shots to attack Liverpool's door.

Although the tactics of the Fiorentina team are not efficient, but because Liverpool retreats too much and has no ability to counterattack, they can often form two, three or even four attacks, and continuous attacks are the easiest to disrupt the opponent's defense.

In the first minute of the game, Fiorentina's midfield core Liverani split the side, Pasquier hoisted directly into the penalty area, Toney attracted all the defensive strength, but Mutu got the opportunity to head the ball, he rubbed the ball back to the edge of the box, and followed up with Fiorentina's central defender Dainelli with a long-range header into the far corner of the goal.

The header from outside the box must have been much worse, but Dainelli's header was so tricky that Reyna barely managed to get it off the post.

Dainelli's header increased the confidence of Fiorentina's backfield players to step forward to attack, and when Liverani took a corner, Liverani did not pass to the middle of the box to find Toney, but directly hit the edge of the box, and Donadale's burst shot hit the Liverpool defender and bounced off the bottom line.

Fiorentina took another corner, this time a tactical corner, and after two passes of the ball, Montolivo hoisted the ball straight into the back corner of the net, this time grazing the post and flying off the line.

Although Montolivo's lob did not score, Fiorentina's attack was completely open at the moment, and their attack was almost freewheeling, in this case, it was the easiest to play some world-class combinations.

Benitez felt the crisis at this time, the opponent continued to attack like this, no matter how many defenders could not hold it, but there were only two or three minutes left, and the opponent's attack was so fierce, the ball was very fast, he didn't have time to adjust even if he wanted to.

When Liverpool took the goal, Benitez shouted at Reina, telling him to slow down, slow down the pace of the game and let his teammates catch their breath.

Reyna also saw that the situation was not good, he slowly picked up the ball, and slowly put the ball away, trying to kill time, but the Fiorentina fans at home were not up, they booed Reina loudly, and some fans also threw debris.

Referee Cantalejo was strict with Liverpool's decision, and when he saw Reina's delay, he immediately showed him a yellow card and told him to kick off immediately

Reina didn't dare to delay any longer, he was about to kick the ball out, and suddenly saw Chen Yu return to his side to receive the ball, Reina was overjoyed and quickly passed the ball to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu also saw that the shape was not good, so he decided to retreat to the side of his penalty area to receive the ball, using his own ball control to kill time and extinguish the opponent's high morale.

Fiorentina's morale has reached its peak, and when Chen Yu got the ball, Tony, Mutu] and Liverani surrounded Chen Yu together, trying to steal the ball from Chen Yu's feet.

Chen Yu will definitely not let them form a circle, no matter how good his ball control skills are, he can't take the ball out of the three players who are ready to foul, he picked the ball up and passed it to Alonso, he quickly stepped forward, and let Alonso pass the ball loudly.

Alonso himself is not good at dribbling, he is best at long passes, but there is no player of his own in the frontcourt, and he can only fall to the feet of the opponent when he hangs to the frontcourt, even if Chen Yu does not greet him, Alonso will make a reverse cut for Chen Yu.

When the ball reached Chen Yu's feet again, all the Fiorentina players realized the danger, because there was no one in their backfield, as long as Chen Yu was taken to the midfield, they didn't expect anyone to stop Chen Yu again. As a result, Fiorentina's players almost subconsciously retreated to their own half to prevent Chen Yu from counterattacking.

Chen Yu wanted this effect, he continued to carry the ball forward, until all the Fiorentina players returned to the half, he passed the ball back, slowly controlling the rhythm.

Although Chen Yu's dribbling did not pose a threat this time, but in his dribbling to win respite for his teammates, Fiorentina's attacking breath could not be lifted, and there was no morale in front of them in the next three minutes, and in the end they could only accept the situation of 1:1 down at home in the first half.
