Football is not like basketball, which can call a timeout at any time, for a 9o minute football game, the only time that the coach can fully adjust the team is the fifteen minutes of the halftime, and the final result of a game, the fifteen minutes of the halftime is extremely important.

During these fifteen minutes, both Fiorentina and Liverpool made certain changes to their teams.

The score of 1 is unacceptable to Fiorentina, although in the second half of the first half they had the upper hand and pulled a goal back, but the score behind still shows that their arrangement and tactical play are still problematic, Prandelli made some adjustments to the lineup, Pachenza was replaced, and the offensive and defensive Blasi came on the field, at this moment Fiorentina's midfield has no pure defensive player, and the other three of the four except for Liverani are both offensive and defensive, which is very similar to Liverpool, Prandelli clearly wanted to change the quality of the midfield's passing, as it was too risky to slam the wings.

There were no personnel adjustments on Liverpool's side, and there were no adjustments in tactical play, the last period of the first half was very stinky, Benitez was very angry, but he didn't think it was his own arrangement and tactics that were problematic, he thought it was mainly because the players lacked running, were not motivated, and didn't press the opponent enough, so they gave Fiorentina so many opportunities, in the second half, they just need to improve their fighting spirit, strengthen their running and pressing, Benitez thinks it will be enough to deal with Fiorentina, after all, Liverpool is still one goal ahead, After all, this is an away game, and even if it is played by Liverpool, it is completely acceptable.

The fifteen-minute break ended, and the two teams continued to play.

Fifteen minutes passed first, but Fiorentina players still wanted to continue the attacking momentum in the second half of the first half, and they raised the tempo quickly and pressed very aggressively, basically continuing the form of the last part of the first half.

Fiorentina is still the Florence of the first half, but Liverpool is not the Liverpool of the second half of the first half, after the break, Benitez made a clear tactical arrangement, after the players relieved their breath, their minds were also a lot calmer, they still contracted, but the scramble was very fierce, very resolute, and did not let Fiorentina put the ball upside down at all.

Fiorentina replaced Pachenza and replaced Blasi, hoping to make the midfield more fluid, but under Liverpool's strong defense, they did not do so, the attack was very jerky, stumbling, and often Liverpool was cut off as soon as the ball threatened to play counter-attack.

Although Fiorentina has not opened up in attack, it still does not lose the face of the Italian team in defense, even if they are an attacking team in Serie A, they can also make other league teams drink a pot in defense, Liverpool has shrunk defense, there are not many players left in the front, and the troops invested in the counterattack are more from near their own penalty area, which gives Fiorentina a relatively long preparation time, and many times Fiorentina players use package defense and tactical fouls in the midfield to destroy Liverpool's counterattack.

Both sides defended well, limiting the opposition's attack, but in this way, although the game was intense, it was not so exciting, and fans could see that players from both sides were either entangled or tackled, and the turf was flying, and clever passing and individual breakthroughs were hard to see.

For the coach, the more ugly the opponent plays, the more effective their arrangements and tactics are, and it is of course the responsibility of the coach to satisfy and delight the fans, but this responsibility is much smaller than winning, and the most important and basic requirement of a professional coach is to be able to win, and a team that can't win will not have fans like it even if it looks good.

The focus is on limiting the opponent and putting the forces into the defense, in which case how to attack? Yes, it depends on the individual ability of the star.

Prandley relied on Toney, Liverpool relied on Chen Yu, both of them are very comprehensive, both have a strong ability to score goals, most of the time, they have proved their strength, can score in front of the opponent's complete defense, in the fifteenth minute of the second half of the game, Liverpool, who has been passive, suddenly played a wave of powerful attacks.

Liverpool's attack is still counter-attacking, and the position is still in Liverpool's backfield.

Liverpool's players have more experience than Fiorentina, and the players' ability to adjust is faster than Fiorentina, they see that their counterattacks will always be surrounded by Fiorentina players, often the ball has not yet reached the front, the ball has changed hands, Liverpool has to fall into the defense, in order to change this almost vicious circle of state, Liverpool has accelerated the passing in the backfield, basically a pass, or even a half-foot pass, in order to break through the opponent's bag defense

This kind of fast pass is easy to make mistakes if it is not deliberately practiced, even if it is as strong as Barcelona, they often make mistakes when playing this kind of passing and cutting cooperation, but Liverpool's players have calculated this account, even if they don't make mistakes, most of the time the ball is stealed by Fiorentina, rather than this, it is better to play this kind of fast and short pass to break the opponent's initial pressing.

Liverpool's 15th-minute attack was the first success they had after five or six missed counter-attack chances in a row.

The ball only went through four passes to get through Fiorentina's pressing in front of the court and passed the ball to the feet of his striker Chen Yu.

Even if Chen Yu was restricted by his old teammates during this time, he has always been the absolute main force of Liverpool's counterattack, and Liverpool's players are looking for him for this as soon as they get the ball. It's just that the front pass was too direct, but it dragged Chen Yu into the encirclement of the opponent.

And now, after Liverpool got the ball, Chen Yu began to run, and once the ball could be exported, Chen Yu's lethality would be greater.

Chen Yu is not in an empty position to receive the ball, even if he runs empty, Fiorentina's former teammates have not relaxed their marking of him at all, Montolivo followed Chen Yu, he will go wherever Chen Yu goes, but Chen Yu's degree is too fast, and Montolivo's marking is always half a beat slower.

When Chen Yu was far away from the goal, Montolivo didn't have to be afraid of half a beat slow, and when Chen Yu received the ball, he at least reserved the opportunity to foul.

Montolivo will definitely foul whenever they feel the need.

Just like now, Montolivo was ready to rush over and knock down Chen Yu when he received the ball.

Montolivo thought very well, but the opponent he faced was Chen Yu, he knew Chen Yu, Chen Yu also knew him, at this time, Chen Yu also understood that Montolivo would definitely not let him take the ball lightly, and would definitely take a foul when he received the ball, so Chen Yu did not catch the ball, and at the moment when he was about to make contact with the ball, Chen Yu let the ball go over, and he continued to run forward in an arc.

Montolivo didn't expect Chen Yu to not take the ball at all, he sprinted but didn't hit anyone, and he stumbled and almost grabbed the turf in front of him.

By the time Montolivo had taken control of his body, Chen Yu had overcome the effect of centrifugal force and turned around and ran towards the rolling ball.

At this moment, the Fiorentina defenders all ran towards Chen Yu, and no one followed the ball, but Chen Yu easily caught up with him and got the ball.

It's not a beautiful pass, it's not a beautiful shot, but Chen Yu's escape is absolutely genius, seeing Chen Yu's escape full of aura, even the Florentine commentator couldn't help but admire Chen Yu.

“…… What is Genius? This is a genius, a real genius, he doesn't have to touch the ball to pass the opponent, Chen Yu is simply a god-like storage on the court, and now Fiorentina is dangerous, although it is just past the center circle, but the closest distance of the defender Chen Yu is also six or seven meters away, this distance is equivalent to no threat to Chen Yu, is Chen Yu going to score a hat trick......"

It was Liverpool's first and best chance in the second half, and seeing Chen Yu take the ball and sprint towards the penalty area, almost all Fiorentinas were filled with fear: did he want a hat-trick?

Fiorentina manager Prandelli was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he rushed to the sidelines and shouted at the players, "Follow him and surround him and don't let Chen get close to the penalty area"

Liverpool's manager, Prandley, was just as anxious, his fists clenched and his knuckles white.

Liverpool's substitutes and members of the coaching staff are also nervous and out of breath, they all understand the importance of this attack, as long as Chen Yu scores the third goal, the result of the second half of the game is almost finalized, the difference is the question of winning a few, and as long as the away team gets more than 1 score, Fiorentina has no chance to turn the tables, as strong as Barcelona, after losing at home, the away team can only surrender the gun and not kill.

The Fiorentina fans in the stands finally turned their hearts to the side of the team at this time, they no longer cheered for Chen Yu, they began to cheer for their players, loudly calling the name of every player and goalkeeper Frei in the backfield, and let them guard against Chen Yu.

Of course, Fiorentina's players want to defend against Chen Yu more than the fans, but it is difficult for them to catch up with Chen Yu when they run back desperately, as long as Chen Yu does not decrease, they can only watch Chen Yu shoot.

Chen Yu ran on the field he was familiar with, facing his original teammates, his mood was very complicated, this time it was different from the previous two times, this time it was a single goal, he could clearly see the expression of goalkeeper Frey when he was running: nervous, fearful, in an instant, Chen Yu even raised the idea of giving up this single goal, he also knew very well what it meant to score this goal, and personally extinguished Fiorentina's hope of qualifying, so that the next game became garbage time, which is really a bit cruel, But in an instant, Chen Yu hardened his heart again, this is professional football, he is responsible for Liverpool and Liverpool's fans, he can't be a child, even if this is the most cruel hat trick, he must continue, God arranged the script like this, he can only continue to act.
