There is a dream called football

0 to 0?

Reality tells Benitez that he thinks too much.

Soon Juventus scored before the end of the first half. It was a very simple cooperation. Brazil international Emerson made a long pass. Ibrahimovic headed the ball in the penalty area. Del Piero in the middle made the first false shot, and then

After passing Hyypia, the second shot was a real shot, and it was a goal.

The whole process is simple, but requires effort everywhere.

Of course, a veteran like Benitez knows very well that this goal is truly powerful. If the pass was missed, it would be impossible. If Del Piero's shot in the end was not so cold-blooded, the goal would not be possible.

Juventus' goal actually puts no pressure on Liverpool, because the most important thing for Liverpool in this game is to score, because if they don't score, they lose. But if it is 1 to 1, the team can at least play overtime.

This is the great charm of the home and away two-leg knockout games. You have to count these small points to know the final result.

Capello is not too excited either. He thinks it should be so. In his mind, Liverpool is still not strong enough to stop him. His goal is a more powerful opponent, such as Real Madrid.

The stadium is full of smoke. This is the biggest worry when coming to the Italian stadium, because the Italian stadium allows fans to bring fireworks into the stadium, which will cause the visibility of the stadium to be greatly reduced.

However, this can be regarded as a kind of fan culture in Serie A, and as long as nothing happens, UEFA will not ban it. In fact, many leagues will, but in the Bundesliga, La Liga, and the Premier League, fireworks are absolutely not allowed to enter the stadium.

In this atmosphere, the first half ended and Liverpool left the field with a 0-1 disadvantage.

Back in the locker room, the players were as tired as if they had played two games. Juventus was really good at running, especially their midfield. The back-and-forth tug-of-war made the team very uncomfortable. Gerrard was like this

The iron man was a little tired and began to drink water in large gulps.

Benitez knew that everyone was tired, so he stopped talking and asked everyone to take a rest before he started to speak.

"We conceded a goal, which is bad news, but we also have good news, that is, we still only need one goal."

"It's just that this time we may have to play overtime, but remember, many of you may not know, overtime is also counted as home and away goals."

Baros actually didn't know, he wondered: "Really?"

"Haha, it's amazing."

Someone is happy.

"I already knew it was something."

"Hahaha."

After laughing, many people relaxed. This is also Benitez's purpose, to make the players relax.

"There is no need to change our tactics in the second half, because our tactics in the first half were actually very successful."

"We also created several opportunities to score goals, but..." Benitez shrugged, "the opponent's goalkeeper is too strong, but don't worry, we can score."

In fact, the players are still very confident. After all, they have stumbled all the way through the group stage, and their confidence has been tempered.

Benitez didn't say much. The 15 minutes passed quickly. The players returned to the court. There were still 45 minutes of hard work waiting for everyone in the second half.

Gerald patted Li Qiao and Kewell, "Brothers, it's up to you."

"ok."

*****

Kewell turned on the glass man attribute again, but he was injured again and his calf muscles were a little uncomfortable. Benitez had no choice but to replace Garcia.

And the team has been unable to open the Juventus goal, which is very embarrassing. After all, even though it is just one goal away, it is not good to not be able to score.

The team started bombarding the frontcourt, but what they didn't expect was that Juventus was not afraid at all and they still performed very tough.

"what to do?"

Benitez also had a high center forward, Neil, so he replaced him with a high center forward as a last ditch effort.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened, that is, Juventus actually won a penalty kick.

"Penalty kick!!!"

Benitez looked ashen, it was already the 80th minute, but his opponent actually got a penalty kick.

And this penalty kick was not even controversial because Liverpool made a big push, the opponent counterattacked, and Camoranesi was knocked to the ground in the penalty area.

Li Qiao was also dumbfounded. Could it be that the miracle in Istanbul won't happen this time?

Maybe.

But Li Qiao is definitely not willing to give in, but the penalty kick has nothing to do with him, it depends on what Dudek will do.

Juventus sent out their first penalty kicker Del Piero.

Del Piero once set a record, that is, he scored all 9 penalty kicks in a single season in Serie A. The way he took penalty kicks was a change-of-tempo run-up, which is quite similar to Neymar's.

When Del Piero placed the ball at the penalty spot, all the fans stood up, and the players on the Juventus bench also stood up. As long as the ball is scored, the game is almost over, because there are still 10

minutes, it would be impossible for Liverpool to score two goals.

Piero started to run, slowly at first, then made a variation, and suddenly stopped, while Dudek still danced his noodle dance fiercely.

Del Piero kicked the ball and Dudek made a save.

Something magical happened, Dudek was like a mind reader, he didn't move, and Del Piero happened to be playing in the middle.

Dudek caught the ball so easily, and Piero laughed bitterly, because penalty kicks are all about battles of wits, deception and counter-deception, and this time Piero obviously lost.

Just when Juventus was upset about losing the chance to win, Dudek kicked the ball quickly into the frontcourt.

Juventus was surprised to find that there was someone in front of Li Qiao.

Because it was a counterattack, Li Qiao didn't face many opponents, only about two, and his teammates were following up, so it was impossible for these two to just defend themselves.

Facing Thuram, Li Qiao decisively chose to pass. After passing by, Li Qiao took a flying kick.

The ball was aimed at the far corner, but Buffon was so powerful that he still pounced. Just when Li Qiao shouted in his heart that he was cheating, a miracle happened. Gerrard, who ran 30 meters, rushed up and kicked the ball.

The ball is kicked into the goal.

The whole audience was dumbfounded.

The colors of Juventus and Liverpool jerseys are completely different, so after scoring the goal, Gerrard rushed to the side where the red fans were.

The die-hard Red Army fans here are so excited that they want to jump off, but you definitely can't jump off the Italian stadium.

Gerrard celebrated with his die-hard fans as they sang You'll Never Walk Alone.

"You never walk alone."

"I won't walk alone."
