There is a dream called football

When França fired into the far corner, Augenthaler jumped to his feet, realizing the away goal he had longed for.

It goes without saying how important an away goal is in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, so the Germans are very excited.

They gathered around Franza to celebrate.

But the Brazilian said no, he wanted to kneel down and pray.

Many Brazilians are very religious, such as Kaká, David Luiz, and the old Brazilian goalkeepers. They will pray during the game and attribute their success to God, and Franca is the same.

So the teammates dispersed, França prayed and continued to play. At this time, Leverkusen's momentum increased.

So what does Liverpool rely on at this time?

In fact, it depends on the captain. The big boss in the locker room is the coach, and the leader on the court is the captain.

Gerrard kept applauding, "Cheer up, do you want to lose at Anfield?"

"Lift your head for me."

After Gerrard's encouragement, the players got much better, at least they all raised their heads.

Who wears Leverkusen's number 10?

Schneider?

Berbatov?

no.

It was worn by a German player named Freire, Paul Freire, this is his full name.

When Benitez was preparing for this game, he was particularly surprised as to why Leverkusen gave him the No. 10 number. Logically speaking, No. 10 is the team's core organizer and a very important player for the team.

Fryer came from the German team Bochum. He played well in the league and was bought by Bayer Leverkusen.

But this also shows that he is definitely not a top German player. It is very simple. The top German player in the Bundesliga must have been bought by Bayern Munich, and it is impossible for Leverkusen to have his turn.

However, after watching it for so long, Benitez discovered that this is a player similar to Hamann. He handles the ball very cleanly and is very fast in midfield. This is his biggest advantage.

This engineer-type player cannot be underestimated. Why?

It's very simple, because the midfielder can have no skills or talent, but don't stick to the ball, otherwise it will be a death rhythm.

Two local German players, Fryer and Schneider, kept Leverkusen's midfield in good order, and then there were the two dashing guys in the frontcourt. For a while, Leverkusen's offense was really good.

Benitez roared, "If you lose, give it a try."

The players on the field began to retreat, because the midfielder was a little passive. Sometimes the momentum on the field is the most important, even more important than technique. As the saying goes, it will be weak after a while, and Liverpool will be the weak side at this time.

At this moment, Liverpool got a corner kick and all the Leverkusen fans started cheering.

You must know that their number may be one-eighth of the Liverpool people, but at this time, the atmosphere of Anfield is entirely created by them.

The hula-la-la feeling made Benitez a little uncomfortable. He was really worried that if he conceded another goal, he would be in trouble.

Maybe because of the excitement, Leverkusen pressed more people. Logically speaking, if it is 1 to 1, the corner kick should be more conservative, but for some reason, Leverkusen took a bit of a risk this time.

Augenthaler also saw the problem, and it seemed that it couldn't be like this. But firstly, he was just lucky, and secondly, it was useless to shout anything, after all, the players couldn't hear it.

Schneider took a corner kick. The ball was an outer arc, which was getting farther and farther away from the goalkeeper. Dudek would definitely not be able to get out of this kind of ball. He could only rely on his teammates. Hyypia was competing with the opponent's players for the top.

I didn't even get to the first point.

In the end, Riise pushed the ball out and the ball reached Alonso's feet.

When the ball reached Alonso's feet, Augenthaler's heart suddenly skipped a beat, while Benitez was delighted.

Alonso is the brains and Gerrard is the soul of the team.

Alonso passed the ball forward almost immediately. He didn't need to look at the ball at all. He knew that the winger would chase it. As expected, Li Qiao ran forward at high speed.

The Leverkusen players here are also running back quickly. The first line of defense is very important. Someone has already made a move, flying to tackle Li Qiao in the midfield.

This was very dangerous. Not only could the counterattack come to an abrupt end, but Li Qiao could also be injured. However, Li Qiao was very smart. He stopped and avoided the first steal.

This meal made Augenthaler's eyes light up, it's great, it would be great if this was my player.

Li Qiao continued to run forward. There was still a lot of pressure in front of him. At least there was one more hurdle, and that was central defender Juan.

Juan and Lucio are the two main central defenders of the Brazilian national team. They are both very strong, not only fast, but most importantly, accurate in positioning and good in confrontation.

Li Qiao knew that he couldn't force a confrontation, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get through, so he cooperated with his teammates? Sorry, his teammates are not that fast. He was the only one in the front at this time.

What about slowing down?

It is a way, but in that case, the counterattack will be lost, and it will become a positional battle. Losing opportunities is a taboo for a forward.

So almost in a flash, Li Qiao figured out that there was no other way, he had to do it himself.

Li Qiao didn't want to fight physically because his opponent was a dark and tough Brazilian defender, so Li Qiao moved the ball forward and then compared the speed.

In this way, it is a pure speed competition. If Juan dares to use any action, it will be a foul and he will probably get a red card. He is the last line of defense.

Juan's original intention was to delay Li Qiao's attack and wait for his teammates, which was the most ideal, but Li Qiao's actions were undoubtedly forcing him to make a choice, that is, you can either duel with me or I will pass.

Juan twisted his feet and immediately turned around to follow Li Qiao. Both of them were making movements with their hands. Augenthaler was worried, please don't commit a foul, but the two people were making more and more movements with their hands until they could no longer control it.

live.

In the end, Li Qiao and Juan were twisted together like twists and turns.

"He committed a foul."

"He committed a foul."

Li Qiao pointed at Juan, and the latter pointed at Li Qiao. Both parties felt that they were the one who was violated.

The referee also hesitated because the two people seemed to be parallel, and ended up tangled together for no apparent reason.

The referee ran to the linesman. Although wireless headsets can also communicate, at critical times, the referee is still used to communicating face-to-face with the linesman.

"I didn't see it clearly, did you see it clearly?"

The referee and the linesman were communicating nervously, and the players on both sides were also very nervous. They didn't know how to make a decision? A minute later, the referee ran back.

There was a burst of cheers at Anfield as the referee pointed to the spot.

"What? I made a foul?" Juan said he couldn't believe it.

The referee explained and then gave the ball to Li Qiao, and Li Qiao did not let go of the ball.
