The Era of Emerald

PS1: This is an update on Tuesday, a little late, I hope readers don’t pay too much attention to the update time, and I promise not to stop updating...

PS2: Let me talk about the book friend group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine. The verified answer is NTR Knight, um, that's it.

Not to mention Benitez, who was very pleased with Liverpool's improved performance on the sidelines, as the Liverpool players recovered collectively, the Fiorentina players who held the initiative also began to feel some pressure, and the offense became weak. It's as smooth as before.At the same time, the number of mistakes in the small-scale passing and cutting cooperation between the players and the large-scale transfer of the ball has also increased a lot under the active oppression and pressing of Liverpool players, giving the opponent several opportunities for quick counterattacks.

Especially Arteta, the Spanish midfielder's overall view and passing awareness are quite good. In this game, Fiorentina's midfielder was well-organized, and he sent several very threatening passes to his teammates in front of him. , It is not obvious that it is the so-called parallel imports in the mouth of the media and fans.However, as Liverpool gradually regained the rhythm of the game and stepped up their pressure on the Fiorentina midfielder, Arteta's lack of physical confrontation ability and lack of experience in major competitions began to gradually reveal his weaknesses.

Mourinho naturally would not ignore Arteta's performance of struggling more and more under the pressure of Liverpool, or, after Arteta was repeatedly intercepted by Liverpool players and passed the ball, The Portuguese immediately used the last substitution in his hand-Arteta went off, and he was replaced by Andre Pirlo, Fiorentina's number one ace in midfield!

Although Pirlo's playing successfully helped Fiorentina stabilize their position, and at the same time greatly reduced the pass error rate and reduced the chance of being directly counterattacked by the opponent, but Liverpool players are getting stronger and more aggressive. However, mistakes are inevitable.And this made it inevitable that a crack appeared in Florence's originally impregnable defense line.

In the 709th minute of the game, De Rossi's pass to Zambrotta was intercepted by Riise in the middle, and in the counterattack, he used continuous large-scale transfers to pull Fiorentina's defense line, trying to make it difficult for the opponent to find the focus of defense in this way .Immediately afterwards, although Luis Garcia was blocked by Carlos when he crossed, the ball did not bounce out of the sideline, but returned to Garcia's feet, and the Spaniard immediately made another cross!

Gerrard, who advanced into the penalty area, jumped up high with the inertia of his body, and lobbed a header [-] meters in front of the goal before Lucio!

Gerrard's shot from the back was powerful and heavy and the angle was extremely tricky. Even as strong as Buffon, he felt powerless against this header lob.As a result, the ball successfully passed Buffon's palm and fell into the far corner of the goal. The score on the field became one to two, and Liverpool pulled back a victory!

"...Things are not good." Looking at Gerrard, who had no intention of celebrating the goal, rushed to the goal, picked up the ball and ran towards the middle circle of the court, and other Liverpool players who were in step with him, Mourinho's expression gradually became dignified, "What a mistake, I didn't expect that Liverpool could still play such a strong counterattack momentum in this kind of predicament. If I knew this, I should have let Daniele (De Rossi) ) They interrupted Liverpool's rhythm with one or two hard tactical fouls, and it would be nice not to let them get up so easily."

Although momentum sounds a bit mysterious, it plays a very important role in many cases on the football field.For example, now, as the momentum of Liverpool players continues to rise, Fiorentina, who is stronger, is forced to make frequent mistakes by the Red Army on the field, and has to choose to retreat to temporarily avoid the edge.

In Zhuang Mingge's previous life, AC Milan lost their original huge lead over Deportivo and Liverpool, two nerve-wracking teams, and their opponents completed a soul-stirring comeback. Of course, some players fell in the third line. factors, but equally, the momentum that these two teams showed in the game far surpassed AC Milan is also the key to their final comeback.

Once a team shows momentum in a game, and the opponent does not choose to interrupt or suppress for a while, then the side with more momentum will often explode beyond the usual combat power, thus bringing the game to a complete level. Go on an unknown road.

Sure enough, as Mourinho feared.Gerrard's header lob boosted Liverpool's morale. In the next game, the Red Army played at a very high level on both offense and defense. For a while, even Fiorentina were temporarily suppressed by them. !

After Gerrard scored a goal, Liverpool scored six times in just 5 minutes. On average, Buffon's goalkeeping skills and concentration on the game will be tested in less than 1 minute. The world's number one goalkeeper was in a panic.

For the extremely passive situation in front of them, Nesta and Lucio can only say that they have tried their best.It can only be said that Liverpool's shots during this period are really unreasonable, and their luck is too bad. Even though they blocked most of the angles, they can still blast a shot with excellent angle and speed, allowing Nesta Others can only express their powerlessness when they call it unscientific.

However, just when the Liverpool people saw a glimmer of hope for a comeback, Ronaldo, who had already scored a goal in this game, stood up again and kicked the Red Army back into the abyss of being out of the Champions League.In the 809th minute of the game, the currently hottest superstar in European football received a tactical corner kick from Pirlo at the corner of the penalty area. He took two steps horizontally along the line of the penalty area, and then swung his right foot to pump Shoot the far corner!

The ball turned a wonderful arc with a strong spin, passed by Harman and Henkez one after another, and went straight to Liverpool's goal!

Dudek, who was guarding in front of the goal, was blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area, so when the Polish found the ball flying towards the goal he was guarding, there was not enough time for him to make a save...

"The goal! It was Cristiano Ronaldo! The Portuguese teenager kicked a wonderful curve ball from the penalty area line to help Fiorentina completely seal the victory!"

In this way, with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and a goal from Di Natale, Fiorentina successfully withstood the counterattack wave of the Liverpool people in the final stage and won the game with a score of [-]-[-]. Successfully knocked out the Red Army in this quarter-final and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League!
