At 8:30 p.m., the Louis II Stadium in Morocco was brightly lit, with at least 17,000 fans seated in the 18,500-seat stands, with sporadic fans coming in through the entrances, and there was no doubt that by the start of the game, it was full. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Compared with Sevilla, Liverpool has more influence and more fans, but it can't be seen in the stadium, Sevilla's fans are no less than Liverpool's fans, in addition to Sevilla and Liverpool fans, there are almost more than 3,000 neutral fans, none of them support it, mainly to watch the excitement.

With almost five minutes to go, the players from Liverpool and Sevilla came out of the dressing room, and unlike the usual game, both players wore black veils around their arms and Puerta's name was burned under the number on the back of their shirts.

There was applause in the stands, fans on both sides applauded their players, even neutral fans did not hesitate to applaud themselves, and some fans chanted the name of "Chen Yu".

Although Sevilla and Liverpool both want to win this Super Cup, it is not an important game after all, and the mentality of the players on both sides is very relaxed, and they all smile and wave to the fans as they walk to the pitch. When the players on both sides shook hands, everyone was not hostile, only Alves and Chen Yu shook hands, their faces were ugly, and they didn't even look at Chen Yu.

“…… The players from both sides came out of the dressing room and we take a look at their starting line-up, Sevilla are in a 4-5-1 formation: goalkeeper No. 1 Palop; Four defenders/4-Alves, 8-Poulsen, 14-Esquid, 3-Dragutinovic/five midfielders, 18 captain Marty dragged behind, 7-Navas, 11-Renato, 21-s. Keita, 5-Duda lined up in front; Single striker 12 - Kanute ...... Let's take another look at Liverpool's lineup, which is a formation of 442, 25-Reina; 3-Finnam, 4-Hyypia, 5-Ager, 17-Arbeloa; 14-Alonso, 20-Mascherano, 16-Pennant, 19-Babel; 9-Chen Yu, 18-Kuyt......"

"Liverpool's two central defenders are injured, and now they can only use full-back Arbello to play as a cameo central defender, which should be Liverpool's biggest shortcoming today, it depends on whether Sevilla can make good use of this shortcoming, it seems that a striker may not put enough pressure on Liverpool's backline...... However, Liverpool is too strong in the front line, Chen Yu will score as long as he plays, and whether Sevilla can block Chen Yu's attack is the key to this game...... Overall, the level of the two teams is close, Liverpool is slightly stronger, but Liverpool has hidden dangers at the back, and the final result depends on the tactical arrangements of the coaches of both sides and the on-site performance of the players......"

The on-site commentators think that Liverpool are slightly stronger, but they are not so optimistic about Liverpool winning.

After the pre-match ceremonial event, the game was not played immediately, and the Austrian referee Plautz arranged for the players from both sides to stand together for a minute of silence for Puerta before returning to their own half.

Benitez and Juander on the sidelines. Ramos also shook hands, and Benitez was with Juande when he was in charge of La Liga. Ramos knew each other, and when they met on this occasion at this moment, both of them were quite emotional.

The game started very quickly, with Sevilla, who kicked off first, playing aggressively, and their full-back Alves was very active, assisting directly from the bottom line to Liverpool's half, completely ignoring Liverpool's right-back Pennant and right-back Finnan.

However, Alves did have a real knack for it, and he was very skilful with his team-mates on the wing, and after a couple of successive cuts, Pennant and Finnan were both cleared, and Alves easily went down to the right to play the ball into the box.

Liverpool were already on guard when Alves broke through, Ager and Arbelloa in the middle looked at Canute, the ball flew to the back post, but the header of Riser at the back post was not far away, Sevilla midfielder Renato quickly cut in, stopped the ball 15 meters in front of goal, and then fired a right-footed half-volley, the ball flew off the bottom line only against the post.

It's only been a minute since the game started.

Liverpool's players and fans were shocked, and the nerves that had not yet entered the game were tensed up all of a sudden.

The only thing that is not surprising is Liverpool coach Benitez, he is a Spanish coach, he is very familiar with the Spanish team and Sevilla, knowing that Sevilla's technical and tactical ability is by no means below Liverpool, Liverpool must go all out if he wants to win, he has repeatedly told the players before the game, let them not despise them because Sevilla is not a giant, but they will not believe it without actual combat, and now Sevilla's attack is just able to make them realize the reality, so Benitez is just a cold sidestander, and did not make any representations.

Although Sevilla's wide attack created a chance to shoot after the opening, Liverpool did not want to be dominated by Sevilla in such a game that the world's fans watched, and they then took advantage of the opportunity to attack Sevilla on goal kicks.

Alonso's long-distance through ball from the back found Gerrard, who quickly stopped the ball and turned around to move the ball to the left before the opposition defence was in place.

Kuyt stopped the ball with his left foot and dipped Poulsen, but because he was worried about being tackled by Poolsen, Kuyt dunked the ball a little too big and could no longer control the ball, so he could only fall to the ground and pass the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Alves quickly returned to the defense and tried to clear the ball before Chen Yu, but Chen Yu was faster and more explosive, he followed up with a left-footed shovel 8 meters from the goal before Alves, Palop couldn't save, but the ball hit the bottom of the left post and popped off the bottom line!

Liverpool's counterattack came quickly, and also created a very threatening shot, unlike Sevilla, Liverpool played very concisely, long passes directly to the front of Sevilla's penalty area, so that Chen Yu, Kuyt, Gerrard and other strong points directly with Sevilla's defenders, while Sevilla is a short pass penetration, from the side of the attack.

Although Sevilla has long heard of Liverpool's attack power and watched the game video, it was only when the live PK did he know how powerful Liverpool's strikers were, and he passed three times and fell down, and Chen Yu almost broke through Sevilla's goal.

Sevilla FC coach Juande. Ramos couldn't help shaking his head, and said in his heart, Chen Yu can't be prevented by defense alone, this guy is too fast and tricky, it is impossible not to give him a chance in 90 minutes, if you want to win this game, it is not enough to defend well, or to start from Liverpool's central defender combination with the tacit understanding, to attack instead of defending.

Juande. Ramos gestured to captain Marty and held up two fingers to tell him to follow the second tactical plan he had drawn up before the game.

Sevilla's players are also seasoned, and even if the manager doesn't say it, they know which tactics are the most appropriate, and Martí has not yet put Juander. By the time Ramos's order came, Sevilla's players were already attacking the Liverpool penalty area.

The most active is still Alves, this time he actually came to the middle to cooperate with Navas, Renato and others, and completely vacated the wing.

However, Sevilla's players are very skilled, everyone can control the ball and break through, Liverpool's players did not grab the ball, but were found by Navas to find a gap to highlight the siege and kill into the penalty area.

Liverpool's central defenders have hidden dangers, and this Liverpool player knows better than Sevilla's players that if Navas rushes into the penalty area to create chaos, the coordination problem between Ager and Arbeloa, and the problem of Arbeloa's unfamiliar position will be immediately exposed, and Navas must not be allowed to rush in at this time.

Mascherano, Liverpool's only defensive midfielder, was duty-bound at this time, and he made a decisive foot to tackle the smashing Navas from behind when Navas was about to enter the box.

Back tackle!

Most of the Sevilla fans in the stands stood up at once, chanting "Red card, red card!" at the stadium. ”

Although the back tackle will often get a red card, but it also depends on the badness of this tackle, Mascherano shoveled this foot did not leave the ground, did not show the spikes, referee Plauts only gave Mascherano a yellow card.

Although the Sevilla players were not satisfied with the referee's decision, they did not make much trouble, and after protesting, they went to prepare for the free kick, but the Sevilla fans did not give up, and continued to boo the Austrian referee Plautz after Alves kicked off.

Alves was like a stimulant today, and his desire to perform was very strong, such a free kick too close to the goal was not suitable for a direct shot, it was better to pass it and shoot again, but he fired directly and wanted to force it through the human wall, but the ball hit the human wall and bounced back.

The ball remained in Sevilla's control and the Spaniard continued to lay siege to Liverpool's penalty area with skilful skill and tacit cooperation.

Under pressure from Sevilla, Liverpool's problems at the back were soon exposed.

Navas, Duda, Renato and Canute continued to pass and cut in the middle, causing a coordination mistake between Arbeloa and Ager, and Navas and Canute hit the wall with a two-to-two success, and Canute took the ball into the Liverpool penalty area, fortunately, Reyna has been alert, his quick attack made Canute have no chance to shoot, and the ball was shoveled out of the bottom line by Alonso.

Sevilla took a corner kick and Liverpool were very successful in defending the corner, and the ball was not only grabbed by them, but also successfully headed in front of their team-mate Alonso.

Alonso calmly buckled the Sevilla captain Marty, who pounced and stole the steal, and made a long pass to the right to find the Dutch teenager Babel, which was a great counterattack opportunity, Chen Yu was also in front, but Babel stopped the ball too much, chased for a long time and did not catch up, and the ball was cleared out of the penalty area by goalkeeper Palop.

Liverpool was shot by Sevilla's continuous attack, feeling a little unable to pull down the face, when the front field throw-in, the player pressed on it vigorously, trying to besiege Sevilla's penalty area to find some face, but Sevilla's defense was very tight, Pennant tried to pass diagonally into the penalty area when the ball was cut off by Sevilla defenders to launch a counterattack.

Reese had a hole in the side defense, was killed by Duda to the side of the penalty area and crossed, Reina felt that his central defender was unstable, he wanted to take the initiative to take the ball away, but he didn't expect the ball to spin outward, Reina quickly ran back, but it was too late, Renato rushed into the net 5 meters from the goal at the back point, Sevilla led 1-0!

The Sevilla players did not celebrate after the goal, they gathered around the sky with their fingertips and comforted their former team-mate Puerta with the goal.

The Sevilla fans in the stands were cheering, but when they saw this scene, they all stopped shouting and applauding, silently pointing their fingers to the sky like Sevilla players, mourning Puerta.

Duan Xuan, the Chinese commentator who came to the scene to watch the commentary, was stunned by Sevilla's attack in the first fifteen minutes, "Renato has scored!" Sevilla lead! In the 15th minute, Sevilla took the lead! Oh, my God! The Champions League and Premier League champions did not have the upper hand in the first fifteen minutes, either in terms of the field or the scoreline...... Oh, it should be all down, it's incredible, Sevilla are not the top in La Liga, what's wrong with Liverpool? ”

Benitez was also very annoyed on the sidelines, he was not surprised that Liverpool fell into the underdog in the first fifteen minutes, Sevilla are capable of gaining the upper hand at a certain time in the game, not to mention that Liverpool's backline is porous, but it was unexpected for Sevilla to score so quickly and so easily, and it seems that he still underestimated the difficulties caused by the absence of Carragher and Hyypia.

Annoyance is annoyance, Benitez has to find a way to change the situation on the pitch, with Sevilla's attacking power and tacit cooperation, if they shrink up to play counter-attack, Liverpool's weak backline is afraid that it will be beaten into a sieve.

Benitez is worthy of being a coach who came out of La Liga, knows where the weaknesses of a team like La Liga are, and also knows what the magic weapon of the Premier League team and La Liga is, Benitez took advantage of Sevilla's celebration to call Gerrard and others over, and asked them to strengthen the scramble and physical confrontation, to be bold to foul, and not to let Sevilla pass the ball.

Undoubtedly, Benitez's arrangement is very targeted, and the technical flow is afraid of unreasonable body flow and foul play, but now Sevilla has just scored, morale is high, and the ball is smooth, while Liverpool's players are in an impatient mood, and the timing of pressing and fouling is not good, but Sevilla has played a wave of small climaxes.

In the 17th minute of the game, Kanute fired a low right-footed shot from 20 meters in front of the goal, but it turned into a pass, and Duda followed up with a tackle from the left, but fortunately it couldn't reach.

In the 21st minute, Alves cut in a direct pass from the left, Kanute stopped the ball with his back on the left side of the penalty area, and fell to the ground more exaggerated after contact with Arbeloa behind him, referee Plautz was unmoved, but there was no yellow card.

In the 22nd minute, Duda's left-footed long-range shot from 32 meters in front of the goal skimmed the crossbar, scaring the Liverpudlians into a cold sweat.

In the 25th minute, Sevilla missed the best opportunity to expand the score, Alves cut off Finnen's ball diagonal pass on the right, Mascherano made a mistake in the middle of the tackle, and instead sent the ball to the feet of Canute in the penalty area, Kanoute grabbed the ball before Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, and then passed back to Renato near the right baseline, but the ball was slightly behind, the Brazilian stopped the ball 9 meters in front of the goal and pushed the empty goal with his right foot, the ball drilled through the armpit of goalkeeper Reina, but Ager had already made up the defense in place, stretched out his right foot to block the goal that must be scored out of the bottom line!

The catastrophe did not die, and the Liverpool players woke up like a dream, calmed down, put down their bodies, and went all out to fight Sevilla.
