There is a dream called football

When Gerrard and Alonso saw Li Qiao holding the ball, they were very sensible and stopped coming over. Benitez didn't interfere. After all, Li Qiao got the penalty kick.

Li Qiao suddenly felt a little regretful while holding the ball. He was so proud just now, but now he is a little scared.

The pressure of a penalty kick is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is still a draw at this time. Li Qiao turned around and said, "Team Jay, Alonso, why don't you compete with me?"

It's strange that no one competed with Li Qiao at all. Everyone cooperated and stood outside the penalty area, as if waiting for Li Qiao to perform.

Penalty goalkeeper Bute was waiting for the penalty. He looked at Li Qiao and understood. At this time, Li Qiao was very nervous, so he started to put pressure on the referee.

"The ball was placed in the wrong position and deviated from the penalty spot."

The referee didn't care, but Bute went to put the ball himself. This obviously crossed the line, and the referee warned him.

"I just threw the ball, I didn't want to do anything."

Bute is a veteran, and he knows that such a thing will not make the referee actually play the card, but it can affect the opponent very well, which means it will disgust you, and there is nothing you can do about it.

What Li Qiao had to do was not to watch Bute's performance. He tried to calm down, although it was difficult to do so.

The referee blew the whistle, and the most stressful moment came. Li Qiao started to run, similar to Neymar, constantly changing his moves. What he wanted was the sudden shot at the end, which might score, or might not.

The final moment of decision came. Li Qiao chose to push the goalkeeper's lower corner, and the ball almost touched the ground.

As soon as the ball went out, Butt was shocked, because ground balls are the most difficult thing for goalkeepers to guard against. Sure enough, Butt fell to the ground and the ball rolled into the goal.

"pretty."

"pretty."

This was Li Qiao's first penalty kick for Liverpool. In the past, he could only watch Jay and Longo score.

Gerrard hugged Li Qiao. Of course he knew how difficult it was to take a penalty kick, so it was not an easy thing.

"You are so calm."

"Actually, I was scared to death."

"Ha ha."

Bute took the ball out and kicked it hard, sending it far away. After today, his reputation as a penalty kick goalkeeper may be gone.

Augenthaler's face was not good-looking, but overall it was okay because he had scored an away goal. In this case, only one goal would be needed to resolve the battle back at home. This is the advantage of away goals.

At this time, Benitez also made a substitution, replacing him with the German Hamann, using the Germans to defend the Germans, because Benitez also felt that 2 to 1 was almost enough, so let's wait until the away game for the decisive battle.

.

But what Benitez himself did not expect was that something unexpected happened when Hamann came on the field. In the 88th minute of the game, Alonso took a free kick, and Hamann grabbed the ball in the penalty area and hit it hard.

Hit the goal hard.

3 to 1.

The purpose of replacing Hamann was to maintain the lead, but unexpectedly Hamann, who knows the Germans best, really worked wonders.

Augenthaler's face turned bitter. This is an uncomfortable feeling, because it is 1 to 3. It will be difficult to catch up at home. After all, the opponent may also score. If the opponent also gets an away game

If he scores a goal, it could all be over.

In the carnival atmosphere at Anfield, it was Leverkusen's disappointment. Perhaps they could find many excuses after the game.

For example, too many players have passed away, and so many key players have been bought by Bayern Munich, but in the final analysis, fans will not buy it.

Li Qiao remembered that Augenthaler stayed at Leverkusen for a short time, which was related to both ability and luck.

At the end of the game, it was 1-3. Leverkusen lost the game. It can be said that Liverpool has one foot in the top 8.

Augenthaler said bitterly when shaking hands with Benitez, "I lost."

"No, there is still the second round. I know that the Champions League is a two-leg game."

He was happy to win, but Benitez was troubled after the game because there was news that UEFA was investigating the riot outside the Liverpool Stadium.

Since the Heysel tragedy, UEFA has been very sensitive to fan riots. I used to think that it was nothing if football fans fought, it was just some hormonal catharsis, but I didn't expect that it would lead to such a tragedy.

That time was a huge blow to Liverpool and the entire English football, and the punishment was also heavy.

There are generally three types of penalties for fan riots. The lightest is a fine, the medium is that the home court is cleared and fans are not allowed to enter, and the third and heavier one is that the team is sentenced to a 0-3 defeat no matter what the score is.

If it is the third type, then Liverpool's work will be in vain, but Benitez probably won't, but this will have to wait for UEFA's final decision.

However, in order to win the public opinion war, Liverpool players accepted interviews, and Li Qiao and Gerrard participated in the interviews as player representatives.

Of course there is no need to mention Gerrard, but Li Qiao was the one who scored the penalty kick in the game, so it is also very important.

"First of all, we condemn any violence on the field." Gerrard said, "The best way for fans to support the team is to watch the game. I say it again, football hooligans are not fans, they are poison. Liverpool does not need football hooligans to be us.

fans."

"Secondly, I would like to express my condolences to any fans who have been hurt and I will go to the hospital to visit them if possible."

When it was Li Qiao's turn, he said: "The captain has already said a lot. I don't think I need to say anything more, but one thing is very important. It is not easy for Liverpool to get to where it is today. We are the last one in the group stage."

It took a battle to turn around and win.”

"I hope our fans will cherish it, and of course I hope UEFA will consider that Liverpool is innocent and that we are playing hard."

The public opinion war launched by Li Qiao and Gerrard was very effective, and Liverpool created its own image of being courageous and responsible.

This also made many people start to support Liverpool. Even if the fans cause trouble, those people are just hooligans and they have nothing to do with Liverpool.

The Liverpool Supporters Association also took action to express its dissociation from stadium violence, and the British media also rarely collectively supported the Liverpool team.

Everything is good, but in the end it still depends on UEFA's attitude. The right to punish lies with UEFA. In the end, UEFA investigated and found that fans from both sides had inappropriate behavior, and Leverkusen may have a little more.

.

But it was impossible not to impose a penalty, because this incident delayed the game. In the end, UEFA's penalty was that both sides were fined 10,000 euros and the team was also warned.

Both sides also understand that if there is a second time, no matter who of the two teams advances, they will not even think about it.
