David Silva saw full-back Riser shrink to the centre-back position at the right side of the penalty area, and he suddenly had a feeling that Iroh would pass the ball to this open position, and he thought of the cooperation between the two in the youth team in the past.

Immediately afterward, David Silva's feet accelerated like a hot wheel, and the destination was the empty space left behind by Reeser as he shrank into the middle.

Not long after he started, about a second, Iroh delivered a quality left-footed cross from the touchline of the penalty area on the left.

In the impression of many people, it is estimated that no one except for Iroh himself knows that his left foot is actually as flexible as his right foot, and it is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables to pass accurate crosses, and this is a cross completed without interference, and the accuracy has naturally risen to a higher level.

David Silva looked up at the high-speed soccer ball and thought to himself that he would not be able to shoot in the usual way, so he simply dived out about thirteen yards from the baseline.

But his header is the lowest in the team, which is a common problem among Spanish technical players, but fortunately, the position of his forehead touching the ball is in the upper middle of the ball rather than the lower part of the ball.

The ball bounced off the ground after changing direction, so Reyna reacted but didn't pounce on the ball.

"gooooal-" At the same time, the broadcast of the Mestalla Stadium was once again greeted with the passionate chant of stadium announcer Mario Coke.

The whole stadium trembled again at this moment, and the fans in the stands knew what the goal meant, and if the game were to be finished according to this result, the chances of the team reaching the final would be more than 80%, which is a reincarnation for fans of a team that reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive year at the turn of the century.

Especially the older fans, they are especially excited.

Coupled with the fact that this Valencia team is widely regarded as the strongest year in the team's history, if not the Champions League now, when?

The goal was a bit of a surprise for David Silva himself, and it wasn't until the on-air chanting that he came to his senses, but then Ballack and David Villa came around with bad intentions and pressed David Silva, who had just been propping up the turf, to the ground again.

As Iroh watched the skinny David Silva being crushed by so many people, he couldn't bear to join in.

Anyway, we're not heavy, it's only about 150 pounds, it's okay.

Still, he heard a scream......

Looking at the dejected Liverpool players, Flores excitedly came to a long-distance kneeling celebration on the sidelines, and then frantically waved his clenched fists back and forth after stopping.

It was also a morale blow to Liverpool to score a goal when their attack was picking up a bit, and it extended the score to two goals, meaning the team had basically done their job and just needed to maintain that scoreline for the rest of the day.

The second leg at Anfield in a week will be much easier!

Thinking of this, Flores excitedly stood up on the turf, and then once again completed a cheer with the cheers from the stands!

It's so cool!

**！！

Liverpool manager Benitez, who was not far away, looked very angry, he directly kicked a water bottle at his feet and flew out, as for the water splashed by the water bottle, he didn't care, venting is the first principle!

But as a manager who has won the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, his anger comes and goes quickly, and he hurriedly walked to the dugout and told Crouch and Pennant to warm up, and has conceded two goals on the road, and if he can't get an away goal in the first leg, then the hope of entering Athens will become very small......

Although Iello has not yet scored, David Silva's goal was a direct assist from Iro, so the Chinese fans who came to the scene were very happy.

The European reporters in front of the press bench also kept praising Iello for his pass, and invisibly, the Chinese reporters in the vicinity were all straight, just like when they heard others discussing how good they were in elementary school.

Valencia's celebration didn't last long, and in less than a minute, they walked happily back to their own half of the pitch to await Liverpool's kick-off.

The Liverpool players were a little impatient after the restart, and after a few passes, both Steven Gerrard and Xavi Alonso opted to test the goal of Canizares with a long-range shot.

Five minutes later, in the 59th minute of the game, Liverpool made their first substitution of the game, replacing Crude, who had done nothing, with Crude.

Seeing this substitution adjustment, Huang Jianxiang in the studio also gave his opinion on this substitution, "Liverpool replaced fullback Cendon with a Crouch who is more than two meters tall, and the purpose of this substitution adjustment is very clear, that is, to use Crouch's high point to pose a threat to Valencia's goal, and at the same time, Benitez used this substitution adjustment to remind Gerrard and Xavi Alonso not to blindly start ...... in the next opportunity"

Indeed, after Crouch came on the field, he also brought the latest tactical instructions of head coach Benitez, as the captain of the team, Gerrard will naturally not take the lead in disobeying the manager's tactical intentions, he is also a person who understands, knowing that blind kicking will not bring any help to the team, after all, the probability of scoring from a long shot is too small.

In the following game time, Liverpool's tactics were very direct and rude, that is, 45 degrees of continuous left and right forced balls, and suddenly, Valencia's back line became noisy.

Albiol is the tallest defender, but he is still nearly half a head shorter than Crouch, who is more than two meters tall, and it is more difficult to mark, after all, his height is there, so his defensive strategy is biased towards interference rather than aerial battles, because that is not realistic.

However, the strategy was relatively successful, at least in the minutes that Crouch came on the pitch and did not get a comfortable top of the ball, and the only time he hit the goal with a header was easily won by Canizares.

In the following time, Crouch changed his attacking style, from the team's ultimate man to a bridgehead, helping his teammates create chances.

Overall, though, the attacking approach was a bit monotonous, and after the first two stunning headers, Valencia's midfielders tightened their grip on the second drop, so Liverpool's threat was quickly snuffed out.

Fast by, halfway through the 45 minutes of the second half, Benitez saw that the attack was not having real results, so he had the intention of making a second substitution, but who to replace made him fall into a difficult choice.

Captain Gerrard must not be replaced, and Mascherano's defense is also very good, covering a large area, and it cannot be replaced, and after replacing him, it will become very troublesome for Iro's defense, so only Xavi Alonso remains, but in his tactics, Xavi Alonso's sense of existence is even ranked above captain Gerrard......

So you can only choose between striker Bellamy and Kuyt.

Kuyt is a typical hard-working striker who plays very the pitch, not only in attacking to help the team, but also in time when defending, helping his teammates to make up for the defense.

After using the elimination method, Bellamy could only be substituted.

After all, in this nearly seventy minutes of competition, his performance is very limited, except for a few eye-catching strong bursts, there is nothing to stand out.

Three minutes later, Pennant came on and replaced Bellamy.

It is worth mentioning that when Bellamy was substituted, he looked very unhappy, and he didn't even carry out the high-five ceremony, and walked directly to the dressing room.

It just so happened that the scene of Bellamy walking off the field happened to be followed by the footage of the stadium until he walked into the dressing room.

Of course, this is just a small tidbit in this game, and it did not cause too much sensation, after all, the 22 players on the field of this game are the protagonists.

Pennant's arrival also brought fresh energy and Benitez's latest tactics.

Captain Steven Gerrard was placed on the right, leaving Xavi Alonso and Mascherano in the middle, and the new Pennant used a break down the left to help Crouch and Kuyt create chances.

However, from the first few minutes, the effect is still very good, Moretti's defensive ability is indeed good, but in terms of speed and flexibility, it is not as good as Pennant, who is about 1 or 7 meters tall, so it is more difficult to defend.

But seeing the quality of Pennant's cross after the breakthrough, Valencia's defender Baraja had no intention of coming to this side to help, because there was really no need for this, his cross was either low or high, and none of them were passed to the head at all.

In the blink of an eye, eighty minutes were reached, which meant that there were only ten minutes left in the regular time of the game.

Fortunately, during this time, Liverpool's defense did a good job, otherwise the score on the field would not be as simple as 2:0.

As time went on, there was less and less time left for Liverpool, and the players on the pitch became impatient, but at this moment, Benitez made one last substitution, replacing Arbeloa with Finnan to strengthen the attack on the wing.

Now that Pennant has been replaced, he will carry out the tactics of wide crosses to the end, and he does not believe that in the last ten minutes, consecutive 45-degree crosses from the wing will not be able to form a goal!

With Finnan's steady and precise cross from the right, Crouch's role as a substitute was highlighted, because with a precise cross, he no longer had to grab a point, he just needed to stand in position and wait for the cross to arrive.

Liverpool's wide crosses are becoming more and more threatening, and Iroh is ready to return to the box to help the team defend, after all, the score of 2:0 is already good, and winning Liverpool 3:0 is still a bit unshowing, and it is also a good option to keep this score until the end.
