The sweeping army of the greenery

Chapter 111 Play
Depco took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to counterattack.

They have only one way to go. If they want to keep their hope of qualifying, they must not lose.

Benitez dispatched troops on the sidelines and demanded overall recovery. Traore and Josemi stayed in the backcourt and could not assist forward.

Riise and Garcia also retreated and retracted to build a defensive line in front of Harman and the others. Kewell was not good enough and had to harass the opponent's player with the ball. Baros had to retreat to the center circle...

Deportivo continued to attack and created several opportunities even in the face of Liverpool's impregnable walls.

Pandiani had a chance to equalize the score, but unfortunately he was infected by Baros, received a pass from Belleron, but stopped the ball to Hyypia!

Although the ball did not form a shot, it sounded the alarm for Liverpool players.

The formation was tightened again, and Benitez's tactics were fully implemented.

In this situation, even Belleron couldn't easily send the football into the Liverpool penalty area, barely sent it in, and no one could easily catch the ball.

Therefore, Deportivo chose to bombard indiscriminately on the periphery.

Of course, Liverpool had a chance to counterattack, and there were still many opportunities, but they didn't fight. The switch from defense to offense was too bad, sloppy, and the speed was too slow, which gave Deportivo enough time to settle or destroy on the spot.

The consequences of not having Alonso are on display.

"Oh oh oh, this time it's Victor, Deportivo took another long shot, and the football is slightly higher." Lineker's tone was full of anxiety: "This is not a safe defense, is it? Counterattack? After the score leads , Liverpool's counterattack has completely disappeared, and the scene is too passive now, so it's not good to stick to it so early?"

Ian Rush is also shaking his head: "Liverpool has some problems with its staffing. The counterattack lacks an engine and can't play. Garcia is too deep and too far from the penalty area. His breakthrough and passing can't be played; Kewell It's the same, not to mention the others, after Biscayne had a flash of inspiration, he returned to his true colors as an engineer."

The more Rush talked, the more he couldn't continue, and Lineker took up the conversation: "It's not that Liverpool have no chance to counterattack, but when the opportunity comes, there is no clear direction, and Deportivo always destroys it in advance. I don't understand why not Come on Alonso, there is no way this will happen with Alonso!"

"We don't know what Benitez thinks. Now we can only rejoice that Deportivo's offensive efficiency is really not high, otherwise the score may have been equalized. The first half is coming to an end. It seems that Liverpool will take the lead and enter the game. The locker room, but Benitez may have to make adjustments, so it is difficult to keep the victory if he is passively beaten!"

The first half is coming to an end, Deportivo has been attacking, but the score is still behind, which makes Deportivo players start to get anxious.

Looking at Liverpool's momentum, it is too difficult to score two goals in a row at halftime. If they enter the second half with this score, they will most likely only pursue a draw.

A draw will not help their qualifying situation much!
Deportivo players began to press on all sides.

Biscayne held Belleron to death, and Belleron could only pass the ball back. Duscher caught the ball and passed it to the left back Hector who assisted him. Hector was in a hurry and was ready to pass the ball. , but accidentally stopped the ball a little too big, and was first stabbed to Carragher by Josemi.

Carragher got the ball and handed it to Harman, who made a long pass to the left.

Riise advanced at high speed, got the ball and continued to attack inside.

Depor's backcourt was blank, and goalkeeper Molina had no choice but to strike out of the penalty area.

Riise shoots before Molina!
The Riazor Stadium screamed!
Then it changed to cheers!

Andrade chased back quickly, rose into the air in the penalty area, hooked the ball off the crossbar on the goal line, and fell into the goal by himself!
"Whoa whoa, Andrade!"

"Andrade made a siege in front of the goal and saved Super Depor!"

"Rise put his head in his hands, unbelievable. Indeed, Deportivo goalkeeper Molina is powerless. He was going to kill the game!"

"As a result, Andrade came out halfway, and Andrade made amends and saved La Coruña's life!"

Lineker was in high spirits, yelling.

Ian Rush was not in the mood: "There is still a corner kick, this opportunity is very rare, Liverpool must..., SHIT!"

Kewell's corner kick was cleared out of the penalty area without any threat.

The referee blew his whistle and the first half ended.

"Lee, get ready to warm up."

Li Tiancheng stopped in his tracks, looked back at Paco in astonishment, and pointed to his nose: "Me?"

"Of course, what's your expression?" Paco was puzzled.

"Why not Alonso?" Li Tiancheng said bluntly: "Now it is obvious that Alonso is more helpful to the team."

"Alonso's calf is a bit strained. To be on the safe side, it's better not to play as much as possible."

Ok?
Alonso injured?

Never heard of it!

This makes sense, let me just say, although Benitez likes to rotate, but as a champion coach, he can't play such a joke and use the Champions League as a training ground.

Li Tiancheng's face softened, and Paco smiled wryly in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Know what to do?" A genius is indeed a genius, and a temper is indeed a temper, so it's not easy to be fooled.

"Of course, let Depco be honest, don't be too unscrupulous." Li Tiancheng is full of fighting spirit, Alonso can't play, and of course I will contribute to Liverpool!

"Very good!" Paco smiled even more happily. Although his temper was a bit impatient and the newborn calf was a little too fearless, as long as you keep being so awesome, there will be no problem.

Li Tiancheng concentrated on warming up and preparing to play.But I found that there was also a guy on the opposite side staying on the court to warm up.

Who is this……

Li Tiancheng racked his brains, trying to recall the pre-match preparations.

Oh, Amo, a central defender, characterized by excellent tackling, accurate positioning and fast speed.

It seems that this is Deportivo's means of defending against Liverpool's counterattack.

Li Tiancheng knew it well, so he stopped watching and concentrated on warming up.

"Li is warming up, is this going to play?"

"Hey, Ian, you weren't so excited just now!"

"What's the matter, everyone knows that I am a loyal fan of the little prince." Ian Rush didn't take it seriously: "Especially after he made a miracle in Millwall, his performance is still second. It fits so well!"

"Lee did come on, the second half started, both teams made substitutions, Deportivo replaced Cesar with Amo, it was a counter-substitution, Amo was faster, it was to counter Liverpool's possible counterattack."

"Liverpool replaced Baros with Lee. This choice? Lee seems to be rarely at the top."

Ian Rush did not have these concerns: "The little prince can play all positions in the midfield, let us wait and see!"

Li Tiancheng found that what he could do was similar to Baros. Most of the time, he could only harass Deportivo's players with the ball, slow down Deportivo's offensive speed, and let his defensive players breathe a sigh of relief and calm their nerves.

After running back and forth a few times, there was no teammate to form a circle with him, and there was no hope of grabbing the football. Li Tiancheng simply retreated to his own half, shortened the distance between him and his teammates, and saw if there was a chance to get the ball.

As for Deportivo's attacking too recklessly?
Soon they will not dare!

After Li Tiancheng withdrew, he quickly spotted an opportunity.
