Although Liverpool's players can be said to have worked quite hard in the game, almost to the point where every goal counts, the gap between them and Fiorentina has not narrowed much. Facing Fiorentina, who were clearly more technical and tactically promising, the Liverpool players still struggled in the second half of the game, and it was almost impossible to rely on passing the ball to get through the midfield. However, in the absence of Owen's sharpest forward knife, Liverpool's long pass and rush are somewhat inadequate.

"It seems that there is still a need for further technical transformation of the team this summer." Benitez sighed softly and shook his head as his players fought the pitch with little success, this kind of rough and unaesthetic game scene was not what he wanted to see.

Benitez's vision is to build Liverpool into a team that is fluid in attack, has a lot of scoring points and is solid defensively. In short, it's an enhanced version of the pinnacle Valencia team he coached before. However, judging from the current situation, Benitez will have to work hard for quite some time to achieve this goal.

The most important thing is that due to Houllier's extravagance in the transfer market in previous years, coupled with the absence of Champions League matches for several seasons, Liverpool's current financial situation can be said to be quite embarrassing, which is quite inconsistent with their status as a top club and a member of the G14.

As a result of the poor financial situation, Benitez does not have much room to maneuver in the transfer market, and can only consider strengthening one aspect of the team by tearing down the east wall and replacing the west wall. And this will lead to loopholes in the part that has been demolished, which will drag down the team's results.

It can be said that unless Benitez has a golden finger like Zhuang Mingge, or Liverpool can have a rich enough and willing to invest owner to take over, Liverpool can only hope to regain its former glory, and the players bought are all cost-effective goods, and a group of high-quality young players can emerge in the team's youth training system.

Unfortunately, Benitez's vision can only be described as decent, and although there are many commendable transfer deals (such as Luis Garcia and Xavi Alonso), there are also many non-consuming signings (such as Morientes, Pennant, etc.). This makes Liverpool's road to revival difficult, with only one Champions Cup spot at the end of each season, and perhaps a breakthrough in the cup if you're lucky, and a trophy to talk about.

As Rafael Benitez pondered from the sidelines how to make a technical makeover to Liverpool this summer to meet his expectations, the clock ticked by without him realising it, and the balance of victory was constantly shifting in favor of Fiorentina. Especially after the 55th minute of the game, Fiorentina began to break the ball frequently on the field and launched counterattacks, which made the danger in front of the gate guarded by Dudek continue.

Seeing that the team's situation had become so sinister without paying attention, Benitez was naturally not in the mood to think about such a distant matter, so he hurriedly put his mind back to the game in front of him, and tried to reverse the team's extremely unfavorable situation on the field at this time by making substitutions.

Seeing that Benitez was going to make a substitution, Mourinho raised his eyebrows, stood directly on the sidelines and waved his hand, ordering the team to strengthen the interception and counterattack, try to break Liverpool's goal before these new forces come on the field, and even completely kill the suspense of this game!

The effect of Mourinho's adjustment can be said to be immediate. In the 65th minute, Fiorentina launched another quick counter-attack, and Ballack was able to steal Gerrard's cross and immediately distribute the ball to Carlos, who was cut in on the left. The latter, on the other hand, played a one-two with Di Natale on the left flank, clearing the opposing Finnan and Luis Garcia all over, and then spotting the position of his teammate in the box and sending a low cross!

There is a good saying, the veteran is out of the horse, a top two. Carlos' passing choice is a testament to his vast experience. You know, although the gap between Liverpool and Fiorentina is all-encompassing, it doesn't mean that the Reds are really useless. Not to mention, as a Premier League team, their air defense is absolutely first-class, even if Vieri, the former world No. 1 centre-forward, wants the frontal defensive ability of Carragher and Henkez, I am afraid it will not be pleased, let alone others?

Therefore, if Carlos had just chosen to cross the ball high, there was a good chance that his cross would be cleared out of the box by Carragher or Henkez, who had excellent air defense. And if he sent a low ball, then out of caution, Carragher and Henkz would never dare to intercept it easily. Because this kind of clearance ball is not done well, it will often turn into an extremely cheating shot.

Although Carragher and Henkz did not choose to reach out to intercept Carlos' cross due to the mouse-throwing relationship, Vieri, who followed up in the middle, also missed the target under Carragher's marking, and the ball slid in front of them and rolled to the other side of the box. There, at this time, it was empty.

Just when everyone thought that Liverpool would get a throw-in, a purple figure suddenly entered the Liverpool penalty area at a very fast speed and got the ball, and then without waiting for the Liverpool player to make any reaction, he directly picked up his right foot and shot a powerful volley!

For this sudden shot, the ill-prepared Dudek simply did not have time to make any savings. As soon as the Polish goalkeeper moved, the ball was already whistling into the corner of the goal!

"Cristiano Ronaldo!" As referee Merck declared the goal valid, more than 40,000 Fiorentina fans in the stands of the Stadio Frankie shouted the name of the goalscorer in unison. This was followed by a raindrop of applause and an almost inaudible boo from more than a thousand Liverpool fans from afar!

1 to 0! Fiorentina temporarily led Liverpool by one goal on aggregate, and the promotion situation is very good!
