There is a dream called football

In the locker room, Benitez didn't need to give any encouragement to these players. What he needed to do was actually very simple, tell them the truth.

"Score as much as possible in the first 15 minutes of the second half, and then be patient and try to score another goal."

"Shoot more, even if the chance seems slim, give me more shots."

"Yes, head!"

These 15 minutes are too difficult for Anfield fans, as long as 150 minutes.

Liverpool has created too many miracles before, but this time...

Even the fans in the Kop stands were a little unconvinced that they could create a miracle this time.

When the players ran out, the fans still applauded.

The Liverpool players formed a circle and encouraged each other. This was a do or die game. Liverpool had nothing to lose.

Suddenly Li Qiao said: "I had a dream last night. We will reach the final, and our opponent will be AC ​​Milan. In the end, we will defeat Milan, which is known as the Miracle of Istanbul in history."

Rise wondered: "Why the Miracle of Istanbul?"

"Because next year's Champions League final will be in Istanbul, Turkey."

"So that's it."

Hyypia patted Rise and said, "Your mind is really strange. Shouldn't we ask why you have such strange dreams?"

Riise smiled and said: "You are surprised. Li Qiao is trying to encourage us. Isn't it possible that he still hopes that we will lose?"

"Hahaha."

"Everyone, stop arguing, I believe in miracles." Gerrard said with a smile.

In the second half, Olympiacos completely copied the style of the Greek national team and launched a defensive counterattack, and it was even sharper because there were two Brazilians in front of them, especially Rivaldo, whose monster was often

It left Liverpool's defensive players at a loss.

However, the turnaround came faster and earlier than Benitez expected. Just two minutes into the second half, Li Qiao made a powerful pass from the wing, and the ball somehow missed the two defenders in the middle.

At the back point, Kewell was shaken. He could have touched the ball with his left foot, but the ball stopped wide.

Greek national goalkeeper Nikolidis struck quickly, it was him who had the gray hair.

Kewell was a little afraid. He might be seriously injured by this ball, because it was the forward who usually suffered the loss when colliding with the goalkeeper.

But at this time, Kewell's spirit as a professional player defeated his fear. He knew that he had no choice, so he hurriedly poked the opponent's goalkeeper with his toe.

The ball flew high towards the goal, and Kewell also collided heavily with the opponent's goalkeeper.

The ball slowly rolled into the gate, but the Liverpool players had no time to rejoice. Kewell had fallen to the ground and the opponent's goalkeeper was covering his head and rolling on the ground. Everything did not look so optimistic.

While Benitez sent the team doctor, he immediately asked Garcia to get up and warm up, and he might have to replace him.

"Harry, how are you?" Gerald asked with concern.

"Maybe I can't hold on."

"So serious." Baros looked a little surprised.

The teammates are all in a bad mood. Cisse has been absent for a long time, and no one wants to have someone else in trouble.

After a brief diagnosis, the team doctor said hello to Benitez and asked for a substitution.

Benitez also quickly submitted a substitution request, and Garcia was ready to play.

The whole audience shouted "Harry."

"Harry."

"Harry."

…

…

Then the song "You'll Never Walk Alone" rang out.

Kewell was in tears on the stretcher. He didn't want to end the game, but he had no choice. Benitez patted him and Kewell needed to leave the court and go to the hospital for further examination.

1 to 1.

For Olympiacos, they are still winners, of course, provided that the score is maintained until the end of the game.

However, a 1-1 score has always been the most unsafe, so Olympiacos was actually a lot more nervous at this time.

Of course the coach hopes to score another goal and bring the score to 2-1, which will solve the problem, but in that case he must take risks.

And another negative factor in the second half was that Rivaldo couldn't show off anymore, and his physical fitness became a bottleneck for the Brazilian. He basically walked on the court.

Seeing that his opponent could no longer run, Benitez was as excited as a Spanish bull. He had already seen the dawn of victory, and it seemed that he was almost there.

It just feels like a layer of window paper, but this goal has not come, which is also very helpless.

Finally, Benitez made a substitution, bringing on high center forward Neal and replacing a full-back.

Li Qiao assessed the situation, and after the high center forward came on the field, he hit the penalty area because Baros could actually be used as a center. Although it was a little bit worse, Baros also scored many goals with headers when he was in the Czech team.

Just when the game reached the 80th minute, Olympiacos' defense finally collapsed. Neil solved the battle head-on and smashed the ball into the far corner of the goal.

2 to 1.

The whole Anfield suddenly boiled, like an earthquake, and Benitez could feel the earth shaking from where he was.

The Liverpool players all piled into a pile, like a fortress of victory, and they cheered heartily.

"We did it."

"We really did it."

But Olympiacos is dead. They are ahead in 5 out of 6 group matches. I thought that this time Liverpool would always be dead and it would be their turn to advance to the knockout rounds of the Champions League. But I didn’t expect that Liverpool would be.

So tenacious.

After a brief disappointment, the head coach of Olympiacos began to make substitutions, first replacing Rivaldo, and then lining up all the available forwards. Now it was Olympiacos' turn to need a goal.

But Liverpool played very skillfully and switched to passing and controlling midfield. Alonso controlled the rhythm of the game very well, neither too fast nor too slow. This kind of rhythm is very uncomfortable for the opponent.

I wanted to grab the ball and speed up the tempo, but time passed at a slow pace. What was even worse was that in the 90th minute of the second half of the game, Olympiacos' backcourt was wide open due to a large amount of bets. Gerrard used a counterattack to score another goal.

Scoring a goal completely sealed the victory.

3 to 1.

Anfield was shaken again, and this time Benitez was completely released. Because of stability, Liverpool finally achieved a great reversal.

The head coach of Olympiacos can only swallow the bitter water in his stomach. He lost, completely.

The Olympiacos players on the court felt like a defeated rooster. They were not as lucky as the Greek national team.

Liverpool is not Lisbon. When the referee blew the final whistle, the entire Liverpool team knelt down to celebrate.

At this moment they feel like they have won the Champions League.
