33. The referee is the focus

At the end of the first half, the two sides were tied at one to one, which was expected. After all, Porto is not a rookie team, and they are still very capable, as can be seen from this game.

By this time, the outcome of this game is no longer so easy to predict. Everyone can see that Porto does not have no chance in this game, and Liverpool is not a sure winner in this game.

However, for Liverpool, they can actually accept an away draw, after all, they only need 12 points to qualify. It is also easy for him to get a complete victory from the other two opponents in the group.

However, during the halftime break, Benitez reminded the Liverpool players that it is acceptable for Liverpool not to be average. They want to win this game. Everything else is empty, and only three points are enough.

It's real, he hopes the team can take away three points.

Also on the other side, Ferreira also said that this game is very important for Porto. They must win against Liverpool at home, so that the initiative to qualify can be in their hands, and they can attack in the second half of the game.

Soon, the second half of the game officially started. The first team to attack was the Porto team playing at home. The Porto team is now willing to go all out. They want to win this game.

In the Porto backcourt, after Alves got the ball, he passed the rushing Fernando Torres and immediately passed the ball to Quaresma.

The moment Quaresma received the ball, Liverpool's midfielder Qiu Ze rushed over quickly. However, this time Qiu Ze obviously came slower, giving Ricardo Quaresma space.

Quaresma caught the opponent's mistake and quickly poked the ball forward.

The ball rolled quickly towards Porto striker Lopez, who was almost suppressed in the midfield. Behind him, Liverpool defender Xavi Alonso hit Lopez hard in the back, trying to make Lopez lose control of his center of gravity.

Can't catch the ball.

However, Lopez never thought about catching the ball, but quickly blocked it with the arch of his foot, and the ball rolled backwards quickly. Sektioui quickly rushed up from the backcourt, caught the ball, and

High speed forward insertion.

Precisely because Liverpool's defender Xavi Alonso pushed Lopez, he was squeezed behind Lopez, which facilitated Sektioui's progress. There was no obstacle at all, Sektioui

Uy moved forward quickly and quickly broke through to the edge of Liverpool's penalty area.

Liverpool center back Carragher rushed forward. At the same time, Xabi Alonso, who was squeezed behind Lopez, also left Lopez behind and rushed towards Sektioui who was dribbling the ball. The two were about to pinch each other.

Defend Sektioui and contain Porto's attack.

However, it was at this moment that Sektioui, who was dribbling the ball, came up with a miracle. Sektioui, who was moving at high speed, stretched out a kick and stopped the ball, but his men continued to move forward at high speed. This

In one fell swoop, Carragher and Xabi Alonso were stunned.

Now, it was dangerous. Porto striker Lopez quickly caught up, threw the ball to the side, and quickly broke into the penalty area. Another center back of Liverpool, Hyypia, quickly rushed up and blocked him.

.

However, Lopez did not give Hyypia any chance. He quickly passed the ball in an inverted triangle to the back of the penalty area. Ricardo Quaresma floated up like the wind, and the Liverpool defenders turned their heads.

When it came, Quaresma quickly swung his legs towards the ball!

"Shoot..." the commentator of the Portuguese National Sports Channel roared at the top of his lungs...

The Porto fans at the scene were confused and started to cheer, raising their hands and cheering. This is an excellent opportunity!

In front of the goal, Liverpool goalkeeper Reina was ready to save, his eyes fixed on Quaresma at the edge of the penalty area.

Taking the shot, Quaresma did not volley vigorously, but quickly used his right foot to create an arc. The ball quickly curved a gorgeous arc in the air, crossed the Liverpool defense line, and flew towards the goal.

back corner.

Liverpool's goalkeeper Reina quickly ran to the back, flew up quickly, threw out fiercely, stretched out his hand, and hit the lower edge of the junction of the crossbar and the upright of the goal. However, he did not catch the ball. The ball

It was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line. It was a false alarm!

"Oh oh oh oh..." Liverpool fans exclaimed, the goal was really just a little bit short. If it were a little lower, it would be hard to say!!

"Oh... this goal, this goal was just a little bit off, just a little bit. It seems that luck is not on our side..." the commentator of the Portuguese National Sports Channel said with great regret.

"Thrilling, just a little bit closer. Porto's attack has sounded the alarm for us. We must defend with all our strength. It is necessary..." BBC commentator John Mortensen was not behind, explaining.

.

This time, Porto's ferocious attack was a wake-up call to Liverpool's strengths. The Liverpool people also launched a ferocious attack. They did not want Porto to be the best. Moreover, if they were unable to organize an attack, then the Porto people would be even more unscrupulous.

.

During this period, Qiu Ze and Xavi Solonso took turns organizing attacks, and gradually Liverpool's offense also improved. However, at this time, the Liverpool people suffered another blow.

After Quaresma broke through two people in a row with the ball, he suddenly wanted to shoot from the front of the penalty area. In a panic, Xabi Alonso suddenly took Quaresma and knocked Quaresma to the ground.

At that time, the referee rushed up quickly and gave Xabi Alonso a yellow card.

However, the Porto fans were very dissatisfied. They shouted the black whistle crazily. They thought it was a red card at this time, but the referee actually shielded this guy. Porto head coach Ferreira on the sidelines was also very angry.

He immediately rushed to the sidelines and stared nervously at Quaresma who fell to the ground.

Seeing Quares jumping up and down vigorously, Ferreira's heart calmed down. But when he saw that the referee only showed Hyypia a yellow card, he became furious.

He quickly went to the fourth official to reason, but obviously it didn't succeed. However, he didn't think about it. The purpose was to put pressure on the referee and make him favor Porto in the subsequent games.

Free kick!! Porto gets a well-placed free kick.

Direct free kick at the front of the penalty area. The ball is on the left side of the goal. You can choose to hit the goal or pass the ball. Ricardo Quaresma and Assuncao appeared in front of the ball. The free kick of these two people was completely

Two styles, which added a lot of trouble to Reina's defense.

Lopez, Alves and several Porto players were hiding in the penalty area, ready to attack Liverpool's goal at any time. Lopez was still followed closely by Hyypia. The body movements of the two were very big. Hyypia

Ya half hugged Lopez from behind with both hands. Although Lopez didn't get many chances today, forwards often don't need too many chances. Just one chance in the whole game is enough to be fatal, so Haipi

Ya dare not neglect.

When he felt Hyypia half-hugging him, Lopez became furious. He raised his hands and swayed his body from side to side, hitting Hyypia with his elbows from time to time. Feeling Lopez's movements, Hyypia did the same.

As soon as the fire got louder, the two men's movements became violent, causing chaos in the penalty area.

"Flute..." A sharp whistle sounded quickly. The referee signaled to the two people in front of the ball to wait for his whistle. Then he quickly ran towards Lopez and Lopez, pulled Lopez out and faced each other.

Give him a warning, and then quickly return to what he thinks is a better position.

Now in the penalty area, the movements of the two people seemed to be a little smaller, but the small movements below were still constant. Hyypia's body was pressed against Lopez's body, and his right hand was covertly half-hugging Lopez. Lopez raised his right hand and pushed it with his elbow.

Living in Hyypia, both of them had a little bounce in their steps, ready to exert force at any time.

There were players crowded with each other in front and behind them, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina had his eyes fixed on the ball on the ground.

The fans at the scene stood up and stared quietly at the Liverpool team's penalty area. Ferreira also stared at the penalty area nervously.

"Toot!" The whistle sounded, and Assuncao quickly ran past the ball, feinting the Liverpool wall. There was also a small commotion in the Liverpool wall, and goalkeeper Reina became nervous.

At this time, Quaresma quickly ran to the ball and thrust his right foot towards the middle and lower part of the ball. The ball quickly flew up and drew an arc in the air.

The moment the ball came up, Alves in front of Lopez ran forward quickly, and then jumped high. Carragher, the Liverpool player behind Alves, also immediately followed. Therefore, there was a person in front of Lopez.

Not too big or too small.

The moment the ball came up, Lopez judged the landing point. Lopez started suddenly, and at the same time, he swung his right hand very covertly, and his right elbow hit Hyypia's chest hard.

, Hyypia’s body behind him suddenly stopped, and it was at this moment of pause that Lopez jumped up suddenly.

Lopez jumped high, his body rising rapidly, like a rocket flying rapidly into the air. The fans standing on the sidelines could clearly see that the jumping Lopez was a head taller than the other jumping players. He was so powerful.

jumping ability.

At this time, the ball flew over quickly. Alves, who was at the front point, had already fallen, and the ball flew towards the midpoint.

"What a powerful ability to stay in the air!!" Looking at Lopez who seemed to be frozen in the air, the fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaimed!!

The ball rushed over, and Lopez quickly tightened his abdomen, raised his hips, twisted his waist, and shook his head. The series of actions were extremely stretched and elegant. The ball hit the goal as quickly as a missile.

Spanish goalkeeper Reina was well prepared. The moment the football flew away from Lopez's head, he soared into the air like a roc spreading its wings, stretched out one palm and hit the football. Everyone in the audience was watching closely.

Living in Reina, I am afraid of missing any detail.

In the stands, fans of both teams were praying. Porto fans prayed that the football would fly into Liverpool's goal, while Liverpool fans prayed that Reina could pounce on the football.

Bang! The football hit Reina's hand hard and he stopped it. The Liverpool fans at the scene immediately cheered. However, they realized something was wrong as soon as they opened their mouths, because after the football hit Reina's hand, he quickly

The ground rebounded towards Sektiui who rushed up.

Danger! All the Liverpool fans screamed! However, Sektioui did not panic. He immediately raised his leg and swept towards the football. He firmly believed that as long as he touched the football, the goal would be certain, because Reina

There is no chance at all.

Liverpool defender Arbeloa was shocked. He saw Sektioui stretching his leg to make a follow-up shot. His brain subconsciously reacted and could not let this guy make a follow-up shot. He immediately stretched his leg to hook Sektioui's body.

With his feet, Sektioui's body suddenly swayed and he fell quickly into the penalty area.

Toot! The referee's whistle sounded, and everyone in the audience stared at the referee who rushed over.
