Chapter 161: The Army's Morale Weakens Liverpool
"The eighth goal in six group games!"
Not many people in China care why Gerrard often makes fatal mistakes. They are more concerned about Li Qingshan's Champions League goal.
Duan Xuan paused for a while and continued: "This is Li Qingshan's ninth goal in the Champions League group stage, and he has scored in each of the six group games this season!" With the exception of a hat-trick away to Roma in the Champions League group and a brace against Roma on his return home, he has scored an average of one goal per game so far in other games. ”
"Since the Real Madrid match will be played tomorrow, now Li Qingshan has successfully overtaken Ronaldo and temporarily ranked first in the Champions League scorer list!"
"Having a striker with such a goal-scoring efficiency is really a blessing for all our Chinese fans."
…………
When the game resumed, Liverpool's morale hit rock bottom, let alone attacking, and they are now struggling to even get the ball.
In the eighteenth minute, Atletico Madrid successfully passed Liverpool's midfield defense and passed the ball to the penalty area.
Mandzukic's shot grazed the post and hit the side-netting, and from the stands, the wobbly net allowed many fans to score the goal.
Thankfully, the live TV slow-motion broadcast on the big screen was a relief to all Liverpool fans.
The goal didn't go in, thankfully.
If this goes in, the visitors will be 2-0 up less than 20 minutes into the first half, and then the score of this game will go to the big score again.
In the first leg of the two sides, Atletico Madrid gave Liverpool a painful memory at home, if at Anfield, Liverpool lost so badly, then the face of the English giants would be lost.
After Mignolet's goal, this time Liggie Lambert finally had a chance to be on camera, the England centre-forward grabbed the landing point of the high ball with his strong body, and the nineteen-year-old central defender Jimenez looked quite thin physically compared to Lambert.
Lambert headed the ball over to Raheem Sterling, who was on the wing.
Raheem Sterling is very agile and fast. After receiving the ball, he shook continuously and tried to get past Insua, who came up to defend him.
Insuya was unmoved, turning all of Sterling's feints into pure vaudeville. With the shaking ineffective, Sterling decided to use his speed to get past Insuya.
However, Insua was not slow either, and he was in a good position to break the ball with one kick.
After conceding the goal, Sterling stood on the pitch with his waist inserted, this 19-year-old England genius player, his sense of responsibility is completely incomparable to Gerrard, after conceding the ball, he has no intention of counter-attacking on the spot, but stands on the spot with his waist in place to watch the play.
After Insua won the ball, he took a look at the situation in front of him and was about to launch a long counterattack, but Gerrard came up very fast and directly made a sliding tackle and knocked Insuya to the ground with the ball.
Gerrard then ignored the referee's yellow card and quickly got up from the ground before rushing to Raheem Sterling and roaring.
"Lose the ball and steal! Anti-robbery! Do you understand, boy!! ”
Sterling didn't dare to talk back in the face of Gerrard's rant, but he didn't care about it inwardly.
He is a football genius who has been hyped by the English media in the past two years. The UK is one of the most media-developed regions in the world, and the star-making capabilities of English media are world-class.
Almost every once in a while, a football genius appears in the English media that shocks the world.
But Sterling doesn't see himself as a hyped genius, he sees himself as a genius.
It wasn't until Gerrard turned to leave that Sterling dared to pout.
What madness, I won't be here next season, love whoever you want.
Raheem Sterling's agent has been quietly approached by Manchester City, who are willing to pay him £150,000 a week to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.
150,000 is a temptation for a 19-year-old player, especially when compared to the wages he gets at Liverpool.
However, Liverpool is also the club that has given itself the opportunity to make a name for itself in the Premier League.
Sterling struggled a little inwardly, and quickly convinced himself.
I didn't leave here for the money, I left for the championship. Well, that's right, that's it..........
………
Take a peek and see the whole leopard.
Not only Raheem Sterling, but many Liverpool players are already out of content, and Gerrard, who has just made a mistake and conceded the goal, has not been buoyed by the fighting spirit of his team-mates, despite constantly running around to receive the goal.
Fortunately, Atletico Madrid did not need to attack away from home, and the pace of the game gradually slowed down.
"I can understand Atletico Madrid playing like this, after all, they have already won the group a round early, but what does Liverpool mean by playing like this? Did they think it was Liverpool who had already qualified? Andy Gray bluntly criticized.
But the Liverpool fans who were watching TV didn't think that the commentator was in Liverpool at all, and they thought so too, and Liverpool didn't look like they were going to fight at all.
When such a slow rhythm lasted for more than ten minutes, the fans at the scene finally stopped.
Boos began to ring.
This boo is not for Atletico Madrid, but for Liverpool, because at the moment football is at the feet of the Liverpool players.
Henderson picked up the ball and passed it forward to Lallana, who received the ball on the flank and looked like he had no desire to continue forward, but instead passed it back to centre-back Colo Toure.
This completely detonated the emotions of Liverpool fans in the stands.
Their boos began to ring.
"Attack, pass forward!"
"You don't have any desire to win! What a disappointment! ”
"Do you deserve the Liverpool crest?!"
………
was booed by their own fans, and the Liverpool players couldn't hold their faces.
In the 36th minute, Gerrard received the ball from the feet of Colo Toure and played a long ball directly into the Atletico Madrid penalty area.
Richie Lambert battled for a spot in the box and barely managed to get a header on target.
The Liverpool fans finally stopped booing and applause began.
Although the quality of this attack is not high, at least Liverpool's desire to attack can be seen.
In the final ten minutes of the first half, the pace of the game was picked up by Liverpool, who frequently threatened the Atletico Madrid penalty area with high balls.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, were undaunted and played behind Liverpool's defence with long balls.
By the end of the first half, the two sides were back and forth, playing high balls, and football spent more time in the air than on the ground.
But in the end, it was known that the first half was over, and the score could not be rewritten.
