Liverpool played a quick attack.

Jiang Chenxi tried to make a connection with Borini, however, after the latter pulled the ball and turned, he dribbled towards the area with the most concentrated defensive force, and the final result was undoubted, the football was cut off by Middlesbrough, but the latter's subsequent counterattack was also hastily ended due to the lack of enough attacking manpower in the front.

"Borini was not able to provide much help to Jiang Chenxi on the field." John. Mortensen was unceremonious in his criticism, saying, "In fact, in Liverpool's history, Italian players have rarely performed well. ”

He's right, from Dosena back then, to Aquilani later, and now Borini and Balotelli, the Italian players who play for Liverpool always seem to be 'uncomfortable'.

……

It was at this time that Liverpool were brewing another attack.

Joe Allen passes the ball in midfield, and the ball accidentally touches the defender's calf, and with a change of direction, the ball bounces high and flies forward.

Jiang Chenxi was about to pounce into the penalty area, but halfway through the run, when he saw the football flight path change, he turned around and ran back.

This unexpected refraction change of direction caught Middlesbrough's defenders a little off guard.

As a result, when Jiang Chenxi received the ball, there was only White on his side to defend.

Seeing this situation, the Middlesbrough defense line panicked, and the surrounding defenders all flocked to Jiang Chenxi.

Jiang Chenxi jumped under the pull of White, facing the football in the air, he was going to head the ball back to Joe Allen, but the afterglow was to catch a glimpse of a red figure on his flank, and there was not a Middlesbrough defender by his side.

Jiang Chenxi's heart moved, and he shook his head directly and ferried the football over.

……

"It's Bolini!" "Beautiful ferry! The Italian has no defenders around him and he can dribble the ball...... Shot! ”

Mortensen's mouth opened wide, he saw Borini facing the flying football, and shot directly with his foot.

"Reckless ......" Before Mortenson's mouth could be uttered as the word 'shot' came out of his throat, he shouted with his mouth wide open, "Goooooooooaaaal!" ”

Jiang Chenxi's header ferried, and the unguarded Borini did not choose to stop the ball and break through, but to everyone's expectations, he volleyed directly!

The shot turned out to be of great quality, and the ball flew in a beautiful arc and flew straight into the top left corner of the goal.

Middlesbrough goalkeeper Rathopulos was completely unprepared for the shot, and he tried his best to make a save, but he couldn't stop the ball from going into the net!

"Perfect goal! Borini!! Super World Wave! It was his first goal of the season! The Italian showed off his amazing shooting footwork! "John. Mortensen was cheering for Bolini's beautiful goal, completely forgetting that he had just criticized the Italians for their inaction on the pitch.

Football is like that, when you don't play well, all that surrounds you is criticism, but the next second, you do a great job, you score a goal, and all that surrounds you is cheers and praise.

……

After the goal, Borini first froze for a moment, and then realized that he had scored, and he started to run and celebrate.

Then, the Italian was hugged by Jiang Chenxi.

"Well done!" , Jiang Chenxi shouted, he was really startled by Borini's volley, this shot is really exciting, it is perfect!

More Liverpool players gathered around, slapped Borini's head and cheered in celebration.

On the sidelines, Klopp, who was about to replace Borini and replace Salah, also had a surprised expression on his face.

"Coach, am I still going to play?" Salah asked.

Jurgen Klopp waved his hand and motioned for Salah to return to the bench first.

Assistant coach Kravitz said with a smile, "With Jiang on the field, our players can always have such a divine kick!" ”

This is not that he deliberately took the credit for this goal on Jiang Chenxi, Jiang Chenxi firmly attracted the attention of Middlesbrough's defense this time, Borini's unguarded shot, although there was an element of luck, but Jiang Chenxi contributed a lot.

Moreover, this goal seems familiar, and in the game with Manchester City, Sterling also scored a similar goal, and it was also Jiang Chenxi's header ferryed, and Sterling scored with a volley.

……

Middlesbrough manager Aitto. Karanka's eyes widened, and then, with some frustration, he swore that if Borini was given ten or twenty more chances, the Italian would never have scored again!

However, this time, Borini scored such a wonderful world wave!

What bad luck!

Aitto. Karanka knew that the goal was enough to boost Liverpool's morale and the game could change the situation.

While the Liverpudlians celebrated their goal, Aitto. Karanka quickly sent Bamford on the bench to warm up.

A minute later, Middlesbrough made a substitution, with striker Quirk coming off and midfielder Bamford coming on as a substitute.

Klopp squinted, he immediately judged Middlesbrough's substitution intention, replacing a striker and a midfielder, which is to play three backs!

Middlesbrough is on the defensive!

Now, the score is 1-1.

According to the rules of the League Cup, if the two sides draw within 90 minutes, there will be no extra time, and the two sides will immediately enter the penalty shootout.

Middlesbrough are aiming to hold on to the draw and fight Liverpool on penalties.

Jurgen Klopp also made an immediate decision to bring Mohamed Salah, who had just returned to the bench, back up and the Middlesbrough man wanted to hold on to the draw by asking him if he agreed.

……

Three minutes later, Liverpool made a substitution.

Suso, who had a more average performance today, was substituted and Mohamed Salah came on as a substitute.

After Salah came on the field, he directly found Jiang Chenxi and called Borini over.

He conveyed the tactical instructions of manager Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp asked Borini to do his best to stir up the Middlesbrough defense by Jiang Chenxi's side and open up the space for Jiang Chenxi, while Salah's task was to tear apart the Middlesbrough defense on the wing, and then look for opportunities to feed Jiang Chenxi.

Klopp really saw it, Borini's footwork was very rough, and the shooting was average, the goal just now could only be said to have won the lottery, but there was one thing about this Italian that Klopp was very satisfied with, Borini had a good attitude to the game, and he ran at all costs on the field, and he could be seen at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

And this is exactly what Klopp likes, he wants Borini to mix up in the front court as much as possible to help Jiang Chenxi pull out the vacancy.

I believe that with Bolini's goal just now, the Middlesbrough people will definitely be impressed by this Italian, and when defending, they will inevitably focus on Bolini's side, which can make room for Jiang Chenxi to a certain extent.
