After all, in the past ten years, the Reds have been banned by UEFA for a long time, and finally waited until the five-year ban period has passed, but because of the team's renewal has affected the results, so they have few opportunities to play against strong teams outside England.

In other words, the current Liverpool team, from the coach to the players, lack enough European experience, and when facing a better team, they still lack the confidence to beat their opponents.

If the draw with La Liga champions Real Madrid in the first round of the group stage gave Liverpool players a lot of confidence, this time, Fiorentina, as the European hegemon, easily led their side by two goals in just over half an hour, making the Reds players who were already nervous about this contest completely lose the confidence to win away from home.

"Liverpool are no longer the experienced, calm and mature team they were 12 years ago. The current Liverpool is just a down-and-out giant family that is obsessed with its former glory. Just when Zhuang Mingge was sighing for what happened to Liverpool, Fiorentina scored again, this time it was Ronaldo who scored.

The Fiorentina player first disrupted Liverpool's defence with a series of passes up front, and then the in-cut Ze Roberto tucked the ball straight into the middle. Inzaghi's lateral run caught the attention of Carragher and Mateo, allowing the alien to easily break through the duo's central defence and latch onto Ze Roberto's pass, flick David James down with a pendulum dribble and slotted home to extend Fiorentina's lead to three goals.

The score remained 3-0 until the end of the first half, when the Liverpool players fled back to their dressing room amid the taunts of the home fans. Head coach Evans followed the players into the tunnel with a grim face, and he needed to use the fifteen minutes to make effective adjustments to the team, otherwise the Fiorentina and Italian media would not let him go so lightly after the game.

Fifteen minutes later, the two sides changed places and fought again.

Evans made a substitution during this time, with German striker Riedl, who moved from Borussia Dortmund this summer, coming off the bench with Michael Owen, who won last season's Premier League Young Player of the Year award; Fabio Capello, on the other hand, did not make any changes to Fiorentina's line-up, with the Italian head coach suggesting to his players that he has enough confidence in their abilities.

Although Evans, who was unwilling to admit defeat, made substitution adjustments, but his Liverpool team was too young, and in the face of the extremely unfavorable game situation in front of him, the Liverpool players on the field did not burst out with an amazing desire to fight, but faintly gave up the game early.

This is the case with young people, and without a spiritual leader to show them the way forward, it is impossible to expect them to be able to adjust themselves in the face of adversity.

Even Manchester United, which has the "Golden Generation of '92". When the Red Devils reversed Newcastle United, who were more than a dozen points ahead of them in the 95-96 season, it was Eric Cantona who returned from a long suspension. If it were only with the young Beckham and Ryan Giggs, I am afraid that the end of that season in the Premier League was Newcastle with the likes of Shearer and Ginola......

And now Liverpool, apparently, does not have such a spiritual leader. Paul Ince, who captained the England national team, has enough fame, but his Manchester United background does not mean he will not be trusted by the Liverpudlians.

As a result, the second half was played almost identically to the previous 45 minutes, with Fiorentina repeatedly tearing down Liverpool's defence with quick passes and link-ups. Ronaldo's breakthrough and Inzaghi's elusiveness didn't give them a headache for Carragher and Mateo who defended them.

In the 64th minute, Ze Roberto sent a low cross past the opposing Robert Jones with a series of cyclists on the wing, and the high-speed spinning ball almost flew against the turf into the Liverpool penalty area. Because Ze Roberto's cross was in a position that could easily lead to an own goal, Carragher and Mateo did not make a big clearance at the first time, but stood side by side in front of the small penalty area to form a meat shield, intending to stop the Fiorentina striker behind him and hand the ball to the goalkeeper for processing.

Carragher and Matteo clearly underestimated someone's desire to score goals, though......

Just as David James was about to reach out and take the cross into his arms, he suddenly noticed that a foot appeared on the trajectory of the ball's flight!

Whose foot does this belong to? Before James could find the answer to this question, the ball had already been changed by the force of this foot!

Although the frightened James immediately made a save, it happened too suddenly, and the ball was too close to the goal, so James could only watch the ball fly into the goal he was guarding for the fourth time.

"Four to zero! Philippe Inzaghi! It was Philippe Inzaghi who scored the goal! The commentator was also exclaiming at Inzaghi's incredible shot, "Although Carragher and Mateo tried to stop him with their bodies, Inzaghi did not give up this opportunity, he reached between Carragher's legs with his right leg and touched the ball!" It was a really spectacular goal! ”

Zhuang Mingge also applauded the goal in the VIP box, and although Inzaghi's goal was not as visually striking as Ronaldo's, it was not inferior in the wonderful process.

The 4-0 deficit put Evans off all plans to pick up points in this game, and knowing that the tide was turning, he replaced leading scorer Robbie Fowler and midfield core Redknapp Jr. in the 75th minute to prepare for the weekend's league game.

However, shortly after Evans made a substitution, Liverpool had a chance to score.

In the 83rd minute, Rui Costa's through ball was cut off by Paul Ince. Ince, who grabbed the ball, found that there was no good spot around him, so he immediately drove the ball far away to the Fiorentina half with a big foot. Ince used a lot of power when clearing the ball, so the ball he drove flew directly over the heads of Ferrara and Nesta, and fell behind them!

At this time, Owen, who had been silent for nearly forty minutes, broke out, and he started from the center circle of the court and used his unparalleled speed to grab the ball before Ferrara and Nesta, who were desperately chasing back, to form a single knife!

In the face of the attacking Toldo, Owen, who dribbled into the penalty area, did not make any feints, and he picked up his right foot in the sprint to volley, and the ball hit the post of the goal and bounced into the goal, and the score was rewritten to four to one!

In this way, Michael Owen, who is not yet 18 years old, staged a wonderful long-distance run in front of tens of thousands of spectators at Frankie Stadium! While he helped Liverpool score a face-saving goal, he also fixed the score of the game at 4-1!
