Chapter 231
Both sides have away goals, and the number of away goals is the same. In terms of total score, Atletico Madrid still leads Liverpool by one goal.

Even if Liverpool score another goal to equalize the total score, they cannot rely on this score to eliminate Atletico Madrid.They will continue to play overtime with Atletico Madrid. If they can't score another goal in the 10 minutes of overtime, they will have to play a penalty shootout.

At this time, Liverpool must change the current situation, at least they can't be beaten by Atletico Madrid's offensive, can they?
So how can we change the current situation?

Many people chose to focus on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't play very actively during this period. After taking the ball, he was more about controlling it than sending the shells forward.

Because if he passed the ball forward, there was nothing to pass. Everyone was suppressed by Atletico Madrid. If they thought they were pursuing a counterattack, they would give up possession of the ball to Atletico Madrid in vain.

So during this period of time, after Lin Yi got the ball, he mainly made cross passes and inversions, and was not in a hurry to pass the ball forward.

And this kind of inversion is to give his teammates time to advance forward. Only when there are enough support points in front of him, Lin Yi will consider sending the football forward.

Although doing so will lose some counterattack opportunities, it can reduce the number of Atletico Madrid's attacks, which actually reduces the threat of Atletico Madrid to the goal.

However, this does not mean that Lin Yi is passive and passive in the backcourt without any aggressiveness, hoping to pass the time by relying on it. He is always paying attention to the changes in the situation on the court, scanning and recording the position of each player, Watch their moves.Look for and wait for opportunities.

Now Atletico Madrid's offensive is very fierce, and they have the initiative.But that doesn't mean they have everything in their hands, there are always spaces in football.

Lin Yi kept scanning and found these openings, some big and some small, but not every opening could launch an attack.

But blindly waiting is not enough, and sometimes we have to create opportunities.

When the football was passed to Lin Yi again, he began to try to guide the running positions of the players on both sides, so as to make a potential gap he had seen bigger.

He first crosses back and forth with his teammates, just like before.

The Atlético de Madrid players launched an active siege in the frontcourt against Lin Yi's style of play - they believed that Lin Yi's inversion was delaying time, after all, the score was maintained until the end of the game. Liverpool will eliminate the opponent with the advantage of away goals.

If Atletico Madrid does not press the frontcourt, but quickly retreats to its own half after Liverpool takes possession of the ball, lays up the defense line, and waits for the opponent to attack, then it is possible that Liverpool will fall in the backcourt for 5 minutes. They will attack—they feel that Lin Yi is absolutely capable of such a thing!
Then in this way, the game time will pass in Liverpool's back and forth.In order to avoid this situation, it is necessary to press the frontcourt.On the one hand, it can put pressure on Liverpool and increase their chances of mishandling the ball. On the other hand, it hopes to be able to counterattack directly through the frontcourt.

As long as they can steal the ball, they are very close to Liverpool's goal. This is less time to talk than advancing from the backcourt, and it is also more sudden, which can catch Liverpool by surprise.

Atletico Madrid's frontcourt pressing further intensified the tension hanging over the Anfield stadium.The Liverpool fans in front of the TV and in the stands were terrified, and Marcel Leff also said: "Liverpool is very dangerous during this time!"

But who knew that this was exactly what Lin Yi wanted?

Because if Atletico Madrid doesn't come up to siege, the space behind them will not increase and increase.He believes that as long as the gap becomes bigger, he is not the only one who can see the gap, his teammates, no matter who they are, will always find out...

After passing it back and forth, the gap that Lin Yi found at the beginning has become bigger and bigger.

But it seems that none of his teammates can find this gap.

If we continue to wait, the vacancy will become more obvious. After it is obvious, Atletico Madrid will definitely take precautions.They are not fools either.

Under such circumstances, Lin Yi has two choices - either give up this opportunity and continue to wait for the search. This is safer, at least the team's formation will not be chaotic.

Either choose a strong attack and seize this opportunity to make a fuss.But this would be very risky. What if other teammates cooperate with Lin Yi to go up, but the attack fails and the opponent makes a counterattack?
Lin Yi had to make a choice, but it was an easy judgment to make!

When he got the ball, he made an action to pass the ball forward, as if he wanted to use a long pass to launch an attack.

Mario Suarez pressed forward to interfere with his pass.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yi's pass was just a fake move. After swinging his right foot up, it passed over the football, and then retracted, pulling the football back with the sole of his foot, avoiding Mario Suarez's feet.

Then he knocked the football back with his right foot to the left, dodged to avoid Mario Suarez, and went forward with the football!
"Strong shot, Lin Yi got rid of it beautifully!"

He can't directly let his teammates run forward, but he can run forward by himself!

The ball got rid of Mario Suarez's Lin Yi and dribbled forward.

When Lin Yi moved forward with the ball, the central defender Godin came up to stop him. Godin thought that as long as he stood in front of him and made a defensive posture, Lin Yi would pass the football by himself.

Now there is only Sterling in front of Liverpool, and he is still stuck by Gabriel Gabi. Fimi just retreated to respond, but it was too late to turn around. There is no room to catch the ball, so Lin Yi can pass the football where to go

He can only pass it back, Godin is very confident about this!
But when Godin was holding such an idea in front of Lin Yi, Lin Yi used an unexpected move to pass Godin.

"Fried meatballs!" The live commentator exclaimed.

Kicking the ball with his right foot, blocking the ball with his left foot, the football turned forward and slipped past Godin.

Then Lin Yi passed by Godin and caught up with the football.

It was such a simple passing action, but Godin froze in place, dumbfounded, and watched Lin Yi pass him.

Of course he knew that Lin Yi was very powerful, but he never expected that Lin Yi's breakthrough would be so natural. There was no sign at all, and he couldn't see that he wanted to make a breakthrough. It was as natural and simple as flowing clouds and flowing water, so he had no time to react!
By the time the Atletico Madrid players reacted, Lin Yi had already crossed the center line and stepped into Atletico Madrid's half.

And Lin Yi's sudden advance also drove the Liverpool players. Firmino turned and advanced, and Royce and Henderson rushed forward one after another to support Lin Yi.

Sterling also started to get restless up front, trying to get rid of Gabriel Gabi.

For a while, it didn't seem like a good opportunity, but suddenly there were many opportunities.

Lin Yi has more passing options.

And Lin Yi did not continue to dribble towards Atletico Madrid's goal, but decisively distributed the football.

He passed to Raheem Sterling upfield, who had his back to the attack and was unable to turn back under pressure from Gabriel Gabi.

But that doesn't mean he can't be involved in the offense.

Unable to turn around, he turned the football back and passed it diagonally to Royce who came up.After passing the ball, he turned around and headed for the goal.

After receiving the ball, Royce paused for a while, as if he was not sure who to hand the football to.

Later, he turned his head and looked to his left. Firmino had already run in place, and he quickly sent the football over.

Firmino received the ball from the wing, and Atletico Madrid's defense was almost in place. Under this series of attacks by Liverpool, Atletico Madrid's back line was pressed back to their goal, and it was pressed very far back.

It stands to reason that Firmino should then pass the football to the goal and let Sterling compete for the top.

However, when Firmino turned his head to observe the situation in the restricted area, he caught a glimpse of Lin Yi out of the corner of his eye.

He was also about to enter the restricted area.

And he happened to be in an empty space!

What's there to hesitate about?

Firmino swung his kick and passed the football. He knew how amazing Lin Yi's speed was, so he gave him ample advance!

The football rolled to the penalty area against the turf, but not to Sterling in front of the goal.Instead, he wanted to roll backwards diagonally... an inverted triangle pass!
When everyone's eyes followed the football, they happened to see Lin Yi who ran into the penalty area and swung his right foot in front of the football.

"Forest--!!"

After Lin Yi passed the football to Sterling, everyone's attention and sight followed the football to Sterling's feet, and not many people would continue to stare at Lin Yi.If Sterling then passes the football back to Lin Yi, it will remind everyone that Lin Yi's role in this offense is very important, which is equivalent to attracting defensive firepower for Lin Yi.

But Sterling didn't do that. After receiving Lin Yi's ball, he passed the football to Royce without even looking at Lin Yi.

Royce did not pass the football to Lin Yi, but to Firmino.

In this way, football is getting farther and farther away from Lin Yi, and everyone pays less and less attention to Lin Yi.More people are paying close attention to Firmino who has the ball and Sterling who is very active in the penalty area.

In the tense atmosphere where Liverpool have already reached the goal of Atletico Madrid, no one will remember to pay extra attention to Lin Yi.

But just when everyone was about to forget him, he reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

Facing the football, he swung his right foot.

It seemed that he would draw the football towards the near corner of the goal, but just as the football was about to roll in front of him, he suddenly twisted his hips and pushed out with his right foot, but the football flew towards the back corner!

Oblak couldn't make a save and could only watch the football fly to the far corner.

The only thing he can do now is to pray to God that the football will be denied by the post, or simply deflected wide.

But this time, God didn't hear him, and the football scraped the far post and flew into the goal!

"toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!toooor!tooor!tor!tor!tor!tor!!!Lin!Lin!Lin!!!"

The Anfield stadium is even more like an erupting volcano. Everyone jumped up and shouted, like yellow-black magma flowing down from the crater, trying to cover everything and burn everything.

"Total score, Liverpool leads 4:3!!"

As soon as Lin Yi turned around after scoring the goal, he bumped into Firmino. Firmino embraced him, then fell back, knocking him to the ground.

The other hot teammates swarmed up and put Lin Yi under him.

Once again, Lin Yi saved the team.

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi!!" In the stands, there were deafening cheers from Liverpool fans.

The cheers can be clearly heard through the TV signal without deliberately keeping quiet.

Every Chinese audience and fan in front of the TV, they stood in front of the TV, listening to the uniform shouts from the TV, they could clearly hear those British people calling Lin Yi's name.

This scene really shocked many Chinese fans.

The name of a Chinese player is shouted by so many foreigners. Their pronunciation with an accent sounds weird, but it is not funny at all, and it is awe-inspiring.

This is the power of football, which transcends nationality and makes a Chinese the most welcome guest at Anfield.

The sense of national pride sprinted into everyone's chest, making them feel a little excited when they were happy for Lin Yi's goal.

"I think everyone must remember the first leg? In the first half, Liverpool were three goals behind... But now, how familiar is this scene? At Liverpool's home court, they also scored Madrid in the first half. Competitive three goals! Atletico Madrid said they want to eliminate our team at our home court, but now it seems that they are dreaming in a hundred days!"

After Liverpool, who were devastated in Madrid, returned to their home court, they seemed to be resurrected with full blood and full state.

Lin Yi's goal came in the 43rd minute of the first half.

Not long after Liverpool's goal, the first half was over.

When the players from both sides left the field, the Liverpool players had smiles on their faces, while the Atlético Madrid players looked confused. They were completely stunned by Lin Yi's goal.They finally boosted their morale and planned to fight back, but Lin Yi scored a goal, which extinguished all the fighting spirit they had just ignited...

Although I used to panic when I fell behind.But when they conceded the third goal, they were not as simple as panic.

The stark contrast in the expressions of the players of the two teams when they came off the field reminded people of the situation in the first leg of the confrontation between the two sides, only reversed.

During the intermission, in the locker room, Klopp did not praise the performance of the players, but repeatedly emphasized the importance of the second half, asking the players to be vigilant and not to be too optimistic.

They have a good lesson from the past, that is, Atletico Madrid in the first round, because they began to relax their carelessness after leading by three goals in the first half. As a result, Lin Yi scored a crucial away goal in the second half.Without this away goal, the mental state of the two sides at the beginning of the second round would definitely be different, at least Liverpool would not have such a fighting spirit.

Liverpool can no longer repeat the mistakes of Atletico Madrid. In that case, it is [-] times stupider than Atletico Madrid.
