Chapter 288
"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!! Lin Yi! Lin Yi!! He gave Liverpool the lead! In the first Champions League game of the new season, Lin Yi proved his importance to Liverpool with a goal!!"

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi turned around and wanted to run to celebrate, but as soon as he took two steps, Royce grabbed him from the waist and hugged him, then pulled him to the ground and pushed him up.

Others also swarmed in and pressed on.The excited Liverpool players started playing Jenga.

Behind them are Juventus players with confused faces...

Many people haven't reacted yet, why did they lose the ball? !

In the stands, Liverpool's

The fans jumped high into the air and launched into thunderous cheers. They waved their arms and chanted Lin Yi's name, setting off a storm in the Anfield stands.

Amid their cheers, the Juventus fans were silent.

"Ah... we finally conceded the goal! In fact, when Juventus was being beaten all the time, the situation was already very dangerous..." the Italian commentator sighed. "But I really didn't expect that this goal would be scored by Lin Yi..."

Lin Yi's goal helped Liverpool take a one-goal lead. Many Liverpool fans' hearts dropped into their stomachs. Now that Lin Yi scored and Liverpool took the lead, many fans are looking forward to a victory.

After the game restarted, Liverpool did not relax just because they were ahead.They continued to besiege Juventus' goal, hoping to score more goals in a short period of time.

In the 30th minute, Lin Yi distributed the football to the right wing. After receiving the ball, Royce attracted the attention of Juventus' defense and then passed the football to Reiva, who was on the right side of the penalty area. Pass into the penalty area.Firmino volleyed a shot nine meters in front of the goal, and the football missed the right post.

The Juventus fans in front of the TV were so shocked that they broke into a cold sweat.

In the 307th minute, Liverpool launched a quick counterattack. Lin Yi directly passed the football diagonally from the backcourt to Salah, who was pulling to the right. Salah had just received the ball and planned to take the football forward. As soon as he took the football out, he was knocked to the ground by a Juventus defensive player...

This was originally a foul action, and there were loud boos in the stands.

But the referee did not say anything, because Royce had already intervened at high speed, passed around the fallen Salah, and caught up with the football in front.

In this case, of course we should adhere to the principle of offensive advantage and let the game continue to flow smoothly.

After Reus received the ball, it was almost a one-on-one shot, so Juventus' defensive focus naturally shifted towards him.Suddenly two Juventus players pounced on him, trying to stop Reus or force him to the wing so that he could not directly threaten Juventus' goal.

Royce is also smart and knows that he continues to dribble forward and is not completely sure that he can get rid of Juventus's defense.It did attract two Juventus defensive players, which means that Juventus' defense elsewhere cannot be as tight.So he decisively passed the football to the center.

Firmino, who cut inside to the middle, received Royce's pass and put the football into the penalty area!

At this time, there were no Juventus players around him!
"Firmino! A chance for Liverpool!"

With Marcel Leif shouting, Firmino took a shot.

Buffon jumped sideways and did not touch the football. However, the football did not fly into the goal, but missed the left goal post...

"Ahhh! Firmino! He missed an excellent opportunity!" He Wei held his head in his hands in the studio behind and shouted with great regret.

Firmino himself felt regretful, covering his face as he watched the football fly out of the goal.

Klopp also seemed dissatisfied with Firmino's missed opportunity. He waved his fist vigorously off the court and complained endlessly: "He should be calmer! He can definitely do better. !”

Although Liverpool's current situation is very good, Klopp always has a faint worry, which may be due to his professional habits.He knows that just one goal lead is not enough. In this kind of duel, a goal difference is not a huge gap. If Liverpool does not seize the opportunity to score more goals, it may give Juventus a hard time. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Don't look at the game so far, Juventus hasn't even had a shot.But who knows if they will penetrate Liverpool's goal with their first shot?
As the head coach of Liverpool, Klopp has to think more and imagine some worse situations.

However, the Liverpool fans at this time absolutely could not understand the mood of their head coach. Even if Firmino wasted this opportunity, they would just sigh and continue to cheer for the team.

Liverpool's performance at their home court made them very happy. They completely suppressed Juventus and Juventus didn't even have a shot. What a huge advantage!
With such advantages, what else do we have to worry about?

Liverpool has the advantage on the court, and Liverpool's players also feel that they are in good condition, and everyone is fighting very actively on the court.Even Salah, a winger, constantly intercepts opponents on the court and steals the ball at their feet. This kind of counterattack in the frontcourt further consolidates Liverpool's advantage on the field.

No. 40 In the second minute, Salah even received a yellow card for intercepting Cuadrado's ball.

This shows how excited the Liverpool players are now.

In the 404th minute, it was Firmino again. After receiving a pass from Henderson on the left wing, he suddenly cut inside and then took a long shot 30 meters away from the goal!

The football goes wide of the near post.

Not long after that, the first half was over.

Although no more goals were scored during the continuous bombardment in the second half of the first half, Liverpool fans still gave warm applause to the team's performance in the first half.

Even the commentators thought Liverpool's first half was perfect.

The Liverpool players came off the field quite relaxed, while the Juventus players frowned and were worried, even their head coach Allegri.

If Juventus loses to Liverpool in the first game, then their qualifying situation will be a bit bad, which will at least demoralize Juventus who want revenge.

The Italian commentator is also worried about Juventus: "Juventus' performance in the first half can be described as 'the whole team sleepwalking'. The team did not have a shot in the entire first half and was completely suppressed by Liverpool." . I don’t know how Allegri arranged the tactics before the game, but judging from the actual results, at least his restrictions on Lin Yi had no effect... and Juventus seemed a little unprepared for this. …”

In a match of this level between Liverpool and Juventus, one side cannot even take a shot, which can indeed be said to be an advantage.In turn, Juventus's performance was indeed too bad.

Now looking back at the first half, all I can think of are clips of Liverpool besieging Juventus... Under such circumstances, Juventus only conceded one goal, which was so lucky.

In the dressing room, although Liverpool's players were happy, the smile on Klopp's face was not obvious.

He is telling his players not to be happy too early.

"You only lead by one goal, what's there to be happy about? Yes, yes, we didn't let them have a shot in the first half, but wait until you don't let them have a shot in the whole game. Then you'll be happy. The football game is It is divided into two halves. No matter how good you perform in the first half, it cannot determine your performance in the second half. So don't be happy too early. In the second half, you must also perform like the first half and concentrate [-]%. Absolutely Don’t give the other party any opportunity to take advantage of you!”

At the same time, in the locker room next door, Allegri was also encouraging his players.

"...We were just one goal behind. We were beaten by them in the first half, but only conceded one goal. This is a good thing. Of course our performance in the first half was very bad, but thinking about it the other way around, the opponent will definitely lose because of the above. We had a poor performance in the first half and let our guard down. In this way, the second half is our opportunity. So don't give up, things are not beyond redemption yet..."

In the second half, players from both sides returned to the court. The rain was still falling, and it didn't mean it would be light at all. The weather forecast said there would be light to moderate rain today.Judging from the intensity of the rain, it is definitely not light rain, but only moderate rain.

But no one cares about the weather. The venue is slippery, which is probably a more unfavorable condition for Juventus...

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made any substitutions and still maintained the personnel arrangement of the first half.

The progress of the game was no different from the first half.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, Lin Yi picked up the ball in the middle, and he was immediately flanked by Mandzukic and Lemina.Faced with such a defense, Lin Yi used the outside of his right foot to pass the football to Henderson next to him.

Because Lin Yi alone attracted the attention of two Juventus defensive players, the defensive pressure faced by Henderson was much lighter in comparison.

Henderson can even try to press forward from the ribs after receiving the ball.

After drawing all the defensive attention to himself, he suddenly made a pass and passed the football into the penalty area.

He did not simply pass the football to the goal, but passed it slightly backwards, allowing the football to fall near the penalty spot, just beyond the reach of the Juventus defenders who were retreating to defend. .

At this time, Royce jumped up and just entered the penalty area, swinging his head to attack the goal!
There was no one to guard him, and he could exert his full strength, so although the distance was a bit far, he still accurately threw the football towards the goal.

The football was slightly curved, but still within the goal frame.

Juventus goalkeeper Buffon jumped into the air and almost used his fingertips to push the football pushed to the left by Reus out of the baseline...

"Buffon! He made a wonderful save!" the Italian commentator shouted loudly.

The England commentator was very upset: "Royce - ahhhh! What a great opportunity! It was blocked by Buffon!"

Liverpool wins a corner.

After the corner kick was taken, it did not result in an attack, but was cleared.

The freed football fell outside the penalty area. Lovren rushed up and volleyed the ball high over the crossbar.

One minute later, Liverpool made a comeback.Lovren passed the football to Lin Yi in the backcourt.

After Lin Yi received the ball, he dribbled the ball forward. Due to the pressure from him dribbling the ball, Juventus' defensive players had to focus on him. This resulted in less defensive pressure on other Liverpool players. .

Firmino and Salah asked for the ball in front, but Lin Yi did not pass the ball over. Instead, he chose to distribute the ball to the right and make a run in the space.

After receiving the ball, Henderson walked into the penalty area and then took a shot from the right side of the goal!

After the ball was pounced by Buffon, it bounced towards the center. Firmino, who happened to be in the center, stretched out his foot and added the ball into the goal!

There was a huge cheer in the stands.

Firmino originally planned to run to celebrate, but he was unsure because he felt that he was too far forward when he shot. So he looked back at the linesman, and sure enough he saw the linesman raising his hand. He took the flag in his hand, indicating that he was offside when he shot just now...

"Firmino!!" The England commentator was quite excited at first, but soon realized something was wrong. "Ah, the referee ruled that the goal was invalid...it was offside...yes, it was offside..."

Slow-motion replay showed that both Firmino and Salah were offside when Henderson shot, so Firmino's follow-up shot was naturally considered offside and the goal was invalid...

Although this goal does not count as a goal, everyone can see that Liverpool's offensive is getting more and more fierce, and Juventus is really struggling to cope. If this continues, they may lose goals.

"...Juventus's performance in this game is really a bit...disappointing..." The Italian commentator was really worried and dissatisfied with this situation. "So far, they haven't even had a shot! Dear spectators, can you believe it? The game has been played for 53 minutes, and the entire Juventus team has not even had a shot! This kind of thing has happened to Juventus before. Has it ever happened to Si? I can’t remember it anyway..."

"I really don't know what Allegri adjusted during the halftime break. Anyway, I don't see it now..." He Wei also felt that Juventus' performance was not good enough. "Everything is the same as in the first half. Liverpool is playing against Juventus. It will only be a matter of time before another goal is scored, and it may not be long..."

He Wei predicts that scoring a goal will happen sooner or later, and it may not take long.

He really hit the spot.
