Chapter 294
If Liverpool's current offensive momentum encounters a goalkeeper in excellent form, it's hard to say what the result will be...

Sure enough, after stabilizing the defense, Monchengladbach began to try to counterattack. On the one hand, it was to contain Liverpool's offense so that they could not attack with all their strength, and on the other hand, it was also looking for scoring opportunities.

In the 19th minute, Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Dahoud dribbled the ball from the left in front of the penalty area, then cut inside and walked towards the center. In the process, he suddenly shot a long shot, and the football went over beam.

In the 203rd minute, Dahoud once again received a pass from Herman on the left side of the frontcourt. After entering the penalty area, he shot hard and the football flew out of the far post.

Although there was no goal, it showed the attitude of Monchengladbach - they will never let Liverpool do whatever they want.

Faced with Monchengladbach's response, Liverpool also showed their attitude with offense - No. 209 minutes, Liverpool organized an attack in the frontcourt, Lin Yi passed the football to Firmino, who received the ball He used his speed to get into the penalty area and then fired a powerful shot!
The football hit the crossbar hard!
"Firmino! Ah! What a pity! The crossbar ruthlessly blocked his shot and blocked Liverpool's hope of taking the lead!"

There was also a sigh of regret at the scene.

Although no goal was scored, everyone felt that if the game continued like this, Liverpool would score sooner or later. Liverpool were in good offensive condition today.

But this idea had just appeared. In the 301st minute, Liverpool suffered a heavy blow.

When Dahoud made a pass from the right, the football was blocked by Henderson. The football fell back to Dahoud's feet again. Dahoud went down and passed again.Monchengladbach's forward Raphael followed up in the penalty area and wanted to stop the ball, but by some strange coincidence... he blocked the football into the goal!
Faced with such an unexpected operation, Mignolet couldn't react and could only watch the football go in...

"Ah? Ah! An accident happened! Monchengladbach scored first! They were playing away from home and led Liverpool 1:0 at Anfield!"

After scoring, Rafael was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had scored, and then he started celebrating.

The Liverpool players looked confused - is there such an operation? !
Stopping the ball can turn into a goal! ?
There's nothing more demoralizing than conceding a goal unexpectedly - when Liverpool players think they're doing a good job, but they concede the goal unexpectedly, it makes them wonder if it's a sign of some bad luck. ?

"This is a test for Liverpool - when the offense cannot score quickly and the defense fails to defend and concedes the ball, what should we do next?" He Wei said worriedly. He was very worried about Liverpool and was afraid of the slightest accident. It would make Liverpool collapse.Anyway, he feels like Liverpool are playing Russian roulette now. Who knows if the bullet will come out and hit his temple the next time he pulls the button.

After losing the ball, Liverpool tried to counterattack, but did not receive any good results.Sommer performed very well and kept a clean sheet.

Seeing that the time in the first half is getting shorter and shorter, Liverpool's offense is getting stronger - they hope to equalize the score before the end of the first half, so that when they return to the halftime break, whether it is mentality or tactical maneuvers The leeway will be much better.

But Monchengladbach seized the opportunity of Liverpool's aggressive attack and launched a counterattack.

No. In the 40th minute, Monchengladbach played a beautiful quick counterattack. Rafael received a pass from Dahoud in the middle of the frontcourt and passed the ball directly to Johnson who came in from the left. Johnson When he received the ball, he was already in the penalty area. Mignolet quickly abandoned the goal and attacked. At the same time, Lovren also rushed to block it.

Faced with the interceptions of these two people, Johnson first dunked the football to the center, and then dunked the football to the left, just in time to shake Lovren and Mignolet who were overlapping in their running positions, and then he took off directly. Foot shot, the football flew into the empty goal from the near corner...

"Johnson...oh! The goal is scored! Monchengladbach actually took a two-goal lead at the end of the first half!!"

Really bad luck for Liverpool today...

Johnson's goal completely ruined Liverpool's plan to equalize before the end of the first half.

What many people were thinking about was no longer even the equalizer in the first half, but began to think about whether Liverpool could win this game.

"Liverpool were pushed into a corner and were already two goals behind in the first half... Was the last time Liverpool was in a desperate situation last season?"

"Monchengladbach has taken the absolute initiative. They just need to defend and counterattack in the second half. For the whole 45 minutes, they have one goal's room for maneuver, which means they can allow one goal to be conceded in the second half, but Liverpool have very, very little room for maneuver..."

Everyone is worried about Liverpool's prospects in the second half.

In the Liverpool locker room, Liverpool players also expressed such worries, and their mood was not very high.

Klopp encouraged them.

"We were just a little unlucky, but the game ultimately depends on strength. Luck cannot determine everything..." Klopp said with a smile, showing that he did not take conceding two goals seriously at all.

But that was not the case. When the team lost the second goal, he started roaring from the sidelines.

But now in order to comfort the players, of course he has to pretend to be indifferent.

"After we went through the difficult journey to win the championship last season, I think we should have very rich experience in facing conceding goals in the game. Yes, we had some defensive problems in this game, and I will not pretend to watch. No. But this problem is not easy to solve. At present, it is not easy to make our defense impregnable. But we have another set of solutions. We have strong offensive firepower that we are proud of!" When Klopp spoke about the problem, his voice was low but powerful, giving people a sense of calm and security.

Finally, when he talked about the powerful offensive firepower, his voice rose, conveying an exciting and high-spirited mood.

This is actually a kind of speaking technique, to achieve the effect he wants through speaking.An excellent head coach must also be an excellent speaker and must be able to use words to mobilize the emotions of the players.

"Winning the game is actually very simple. Remember, no matter how many goals the opponent scores, we just need to score more goals than the opponent!"

At the beginning of the second half of the game, neither side made any personnel adjustments.

This surprised many people - it is normal for Monchengladbach, which is leading by two goals, not to make personnel adjustments. They are playing well and there is really no need to make substitutions.

But Liverpool, who were two goals behind, didn't even say anything, which puzzled everyone.At this time, if Klopp still wants to win the game, he should make adjustments early.

Not long after the second half of the game started, everyone discovered that Liverpool, without substitutions and adjustments, took the initiative to attack as soon as they came up and played very fiercely. For a period of time, Monchengladbach could not even get past halftime and was completely suppressed. Living.

Monchengladbach seemed a little unprepared for such a rapid offensive by Liverpool, and I don’t know how their head coach Favre made adjustments...

At the minute, Lin Yi took a long shot from the front of the penalty area, but Sommer confiscated it.Soon after 3 minutes, Firmino made a pass from the right, and Royce, who was unmarked from behind, headed the ball towards the goal. Unfortunately, it was a little too high...

During this period, Liverpool's offensive was very fierce, which made the Liverpool fans in the stands very happy. The cheers were louder and louder.

But Lin Yi is not optimistic.

He knew that such a fierce offensive could not last for 45 minutes, and that sooner or later Monchengladbach would come to their senses and be ready.To prevent them from being prepared, they have to score goals as quickly as possible and create tension.

Just having a strong offensive but not scoring goals is an ineffective attack.So we still have to turn our offense into goals.

Lin Yi constantly creates opportunities for his teammates, but if the opportunity is right, he doesn't mind trying to score himself.

In the 605th minute, Liverpool once again passed the ball continuously in front of Monchengladbach and created opportunities.

Lin Yi distributed the football in the middle to Henderson, who switched to the right.

Then he did not stay outside the penalty area, but slowly moved into the penalty area. At first, he moved towards the goal, but when he saw Royce also in the middle, he changed his mind and went up himself. It doesn't do anything but make the place more crowded.

And now because of the movement of Reus and Firmino, it has become the place where the defenders of Monchengladbach pay attention, and...

Lin Yi turned his head and saw Houdian.

When I clicked on it later, there was an empty space.

So Lin Yi immediately changed direction.But he didn't just run back. He was just pacing and observing the situation on Lin Yi's side.

He made a pass for Henderson.

After seeing Henderson's pass, Lin Yi quickly judged the landing point of the football. It was definitely not in the front because it was very powerful!
So he immediately accelerated and started running in a circle, running backwards!

During this process, the football passed by Lin Yi passed over the heads of Royce and others at the front point and flew directly to the back point!
Lin Yi jumped up and shook his head towards the football!
"Forest--!"

Amidst the prolonged roar of the on-site commentator, Sommer turned back from the front point and jumped into the air to save the ball.

Sommer's reaction was the fastest among the Monchengladbach team. At this time, other Monchengladbach players could only turn their heads, and then stared blankly at Lin Yi jumping in the air.

But he was still a little late...

Before he pounced, Lin Yi had already tipped the football passed by Henderson accurately into the goal!
"Lin Yi! Lin Yi!!! Good shot! He got a goal back for Liverpool! 1:2! Liverpool is only one goal behind now!" He Wei roared excitedly.

The entire Anfield stadium burst into flames the moment Lin Yi pushed the football into the goal.

Everyone jumped up from their seats, then raised their arms and shouted.

Although they were still behind, Lin Yi's goal not long after the second half started gave them hope.

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi did not celebrate. After landing, he rushed directly into the goal, fished out the football he pushed in, held it in his arms, turned around and ran towards the center circle.

Then in the process, he waved his fist, which was considered a celebration.

He didn't have time to celebrate, he was still one goal behind...

Other Liverpool players who wanted to come up to celebrate with him stopped coming up to celebrate when they saw him like this. Instead, they ran back to the half-court with Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi scored, Liverpool did not slow down. They still maintained a very fast pace to continuously attack Monchengladbach's defense.

The entire Liverpool team was boosted by Lin Yi's goal.

Originally, Monchengladbach planned to fight back.

But as soon as they had this idea, they were beaten back by Liverpool's fierce offensive.

Liverpool, who had just scored a goal, were full of morale and felt like they were "swallowing thousands of miles with anger".

Monchengladbach did not dare to think about scoring another goal at all. During this period, they first had to ensure that they did not concede a goal...

Not long after Lin Yi scored, Liverpool launched an attack. Lin Yi made a feint and passed the football to Royce. Royce passed the ball. Salah received Royce's pass in the penalty area. After that, he shot into the far corner 15 meters away from the goal!

This time Sommer made a wonderful save and shot the football away!
"Salah - Sommer! Wonderful offense and defense! Although he conceded a goal, Sommer didn't seem to be affected! And Liverpool's offensive is still fierce! The game has entered a white-hot stage!"

The stadium was buzzing with people, and the air seemed to be really hot...

Under Liverpool's fierce offensive, Monchengladbach's players were struggling to cope, and it was inevitable that they would make mistakes while busy...

In the 608th minute, Royce retreated to the midfield to receive the ball. When he turned his back to get the ball, he was kicked and pushed from behind by Monchengladbach midfielder Xhaka and fell to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle, awarded Monchengladbach a foul, and gave Xhaka a yellow card.

Xhaka didn't take the yellow card seriously at all. He didn't even stand there obediently and wait for the referee to play the card. Instead, he stepped back and returned to his position.

The referee could only show him a yellow card from a distance, which was considered a card.

Including other Monchengladbach players, no one took this yellow card to heart.

The game continues.

Liverpool takes a free kick from the spot where Xhaka fouled.

Lin Yi came up to assist teammate Royce, who took the penalty.
