Chapter 297
Facing Liverpool's aerial bombardment, in addition to allowing the defenders to compete for the top, Sommer's way of expanding the defense zone is also very important.

The football was played, and Lin Yi unsurprisingly appeared at the spot where the ball landed - the right rib outside the penalty area, and controlled the football.

But just as he received the ball, the Monchengladbach players in the penalty area also began to press outwards, mainly players in other positions. The defenders still stayed in their positions and maintained a good defensive formation.

Monchengladbach did this to prevent Liverpool's long shot from the center.

Long-range shots are also a way to break dense defenses, so Monchengladbach must also be prepared and resolutely prevent Liverpool from calmly taking a shot from 30 meters outside the penalty area.

So as soon as Lin Yi stopped the ball, he was faced with a Monchengladbach player's attack.

Lin Yi lowered his head, as if he didn't see the Monchengladbach players rushing forward, and focused all his attention on the football at his feet.But just when everyone thought he would be surrounded, he gently lifted the instep of his right foot and passed the football horizontally to Henderson in the middle. At the same time, he quickly crossed forward and ran towards The top of the free throw arc.

Henderson saw Lin Yi's movement and immediately pushed the football in a straight line and passed it to Lin Yi's running route.

Lin Yi has already run behind the Monchengladbach players who first attacked him. He will receive Henderson's pass at the top of the penalty arc.

And now in front of him is a defense line composed of as many as six Monchengladbach players. They are not on a line, but form a depth of two rows before and after, with the top one on the penalty area line. The trailing one is a little further back at the penalty spot.

In this narrow strip, there are not only six Monchengladbach players, but also four Liverpool players: Lovren, Firmino, Mkhitaryan, and Reus.From the left side of the penalty area to the right side of the penalty area, in such a small area, ten players from both sides were concentrated, and the density was evident.

In such a dense place, it is very difficult to organize an offense because there is almost no passing space that can be used.

If Liverpool wants to attack through the middle, basically their attack will be stopped here.Either they give up the ball due to being intercepted, missing a pass, missing a shot, etc., or they stop suddenly and then move to the wing. In the end, they still follow the old routine of passing the ball from the wing and fighting for the top in the middle.

Liverpool's attack should be no exception. If they don't move to the wing, their attack should end here.

The fans of Liverpool and Monchengladbach in the stands of Anfield Stadium, everyone on the bench and coaching bench of Liverpool and Monchengladbach, the Chinese fans in front of the TV... everyone's eyes are focused on The figure running towards the top of the free throw arc.

What will he do?
Lin Yi suddenly made a diagonal move forward, running from the wing to the center, and then he received a pass from Henderson near the top of the penalty arc.

Facing the ball, Lin Yi did not stop the football completely before making plans.

He directly used his left foot to push the football to the right while running and passed it to Lovren not far ahead of him.

At this time, Lovren was like a standing center, with his back to the direction of attack, his hands raised, carrying two Monchengladbach defenders, ready to receive the ball.

Although he can get the ball, it is difficult to turn around because there are two Monchengladbach players behind him. If he wants to forcefully turn around, he will most likely lose possession of the ball.

But if you always keep your back to the direction of attack and cannot turn around, there is no point in holding the ball, and the longer you hold the ball, the easier it is to lose the ball...

Just when the football was passed to him, Lovren also saw Lin Yi's situation - after passing the ball, Lin Yi did not stop or slow down, but continued to rush into the penalty area along the diagonal.

Lovren knew what Lin Yi was going to do.

So he leaned back suddenly and hit the Monchengladbach defender hard. The Monchengladbach players thought he was going to turn around, so they pushed back with more force. The two sides were in the penalty area like this. Wrestled with each other.

But Lovren just wanted to attract the attention of the Monchengladbach players to himself. Then he used the outside instep of his right foot to smooth the football from Lin Yi to the outside. The football rolled sideways and rolled to the side. In front of Lin Yi!

"Hit the wall for a one-two!"

When Lin Yi kept running into the penalty area, he had already attracted the attention of Monchengladbach's defensive players.

Monchengladbach midfielder Dahoud rushed up from the other direction, intending to destroy the football before Lin Yi could get it. He shoveled towards the football!

But Lin Yi was still one step faster than him - he gently pushed the football forward with his toes, and Dahoud scooped it up!
Then Lin Yi jumped up and jumped over Dahoud lightly!

"Good goal! Lin Yi! This is Liverpool's opportunity!!"

Dahoud did not stop Lin Yi and put him in. Immediately, Lin Yi became the focus of attention of all Monchengladbach defensive players. Everyone switched their targets to him and pounced on him from close range. , even those who were far away had their eyes firmly fixed on Lin Yi.

After Lin Yi broke through Dahoud's defense, he received the ball again in the penalty area.

At this time, three Monchengladbach defenders rushed over from two directions.

At the same time, Monchengladbach goalkeeper Sommer also moved here to block the angle.

After Lin Yi received the ball, he gently moved the ball diagonally forward with the outside of his left foot, as if he was about to take a shot from an angle!
Sommer decisively abandoned the goal, rushed out, opened his body, and stretched his arms as much as possible to block all angles of Lin Yi's shot.

Lin Yi pushed the football away, and after catching up with the football, he raised his left leg. This was the action of shooting!
The two Monchengladbach defenders Christensen and Dominguez, who came from the center, made flying tackles almost at the same time, intending to use their bodies to block Lin Yi's shot.

But Lin Yi's left foot did not shoot. When he came down, he suddenly stopped next to the football and feinted!
Unable to hold back, Christensen and Dominguez slipped in front of Lin Yi at the same time, blocking Sommer's attack.Christensen and Dominguez both blocked Liverpool's key shots in the game, but this time, they became useless decorations...

Immediately afterwards, in a flash of lightning, Lin Yi pushed the football toward the center with the outside instep of his right foot!
Pass the ball!

It's not a shot, it's a pass!

After attracting almost all the defensive players to his side, he made a feint and chose to cross!
At this time, everyone noticed that the front door of Monchengladbach was completely empty, and the middle door was wide open!

And Firmino appeared here. He seemed to know that Lin Yi was passing back the ball. When Lin Yi passed the football, he also appeared at the receiving place on time. Facing the football from Lin Yi, he immediately Foot sweep!
The football flew into the empty goal without any suspense!

3: 2!

Liverpool overtook!

"Firmino! Firmino! Firmino -!!! No.90 three minutes and eight seconds! Liverpool completed the reversal! It was like a roller coaster, after Liverpool made a very exciting high-altitude dive , finally arrived at the finish line safely!”

In his roar, Firmino ran excitedly to the stands behind the goal.The entire Anfield stadium was cheering at this time.

The moment Firmino hit the ball into the goal, all the Liverpool fans in the stands jumped to their feet, raised their arms and shouted, like a storm that swept the entire stadium instantly.

Klopp was like a boxer, waving his fist forward. Even the players who wanted to hug him and celebrate did not dare to get close, for fear of being beaten.At this time, Klopp didn't care about his side at all. He just wanted to vent his emotions.

"Firmino fired! The ball went in!! Liverpool completed the winning goal in the 903rd minute!" He Wei roared excitedly, his voice became hoarse, but he couldn't care less. "At the end of this game, many people were probably despairing, right? But Liverpool didn't! All the hard work has paid off!"

"90.00% of the credit for this goal must be attributed to Lin Yi! From getting the second goal, to hitting the wall twice in a row, after attracting the attention of Monchengladbach's defense, he pretended to shoot, but failed The football was passed to Firmino who was following up in the middle! Lin Yi did not take credit for it. Although he could have shot the ball himself, he chose to pass the football to Firmino who was in a better position and had a better chance. Calmness and decisiveness are the most important reasons why Liverpool can reverse this situation!"

No matter how He Wei "blows" Lin Yi at this time, the Chinese fans in front of the TV and on the Internet will not feel that there is any violation.

There are a lot of praises on the Internet for "Lin Yi is awesome". Those complimenting voices are probably more disgusting than He Wei, and have no bottom line or moral integrity...

Firmino and Lin Yi met under the stands, surrounded by other Liverpool players.

There were fervent Liverpool fans in the stands, shaking their fists and shouting loudly at the players below.

Below the stands were excited players, shaking their fists at the fans above.

Not far next to them were the Monchengladbach players lying on the ground.

The TV broadcast began to replay the previous goal.

From the moment Lin Yi got the second landing point, the whole process was shown.

The commentators were enamored.

"Too calm and decisive!"

"This fake ejaculation is so well controlled..."

"What a great assist! Maybe no one expected Lin Yi to pass the ball at the time, but he just did it!"

"The tacit understanding between Firmino and Lin Yi is really not exaggerated. The two have been working together since the Huocun period. When everyone thought Lin Yi would shoot, Firmino believed that Lin Yi would pass the ball." , so he appeared in the most critical position. What would have happened if Firmino had not pushed forward at this time, but stayed in the crowd? Maybe we wouldn't have seen such an exciting scene!"

Firmino's winning goal brought the atmosphere of the game to its climax.

Liverpool's players celebrated wildly. There was originally one minute left in injury time, but by the time they finished celebrating, there were only 1 seconds left.

The players of Monchengladbach did not protest. They were completely stunned and defeated by this goal.

Even their head coach Favre seemed helpless in the face of such a conceding goal, standing on the sidelines, stunned.

The referee dutifully signaled that the game would continue, even if there were only a few dozen seconds left.

After taking the lead, Liverpool did not blindly shrink the defense in these tens of seconds, completely leaving the space outside the 30-meter area. Instead, they actively started to intercept in the midfield, including Firmino and Royce. All the offensive players inside were also actively pressing, forcing Monchengladbach to be unable to better organize the offense.

The result of the game is no longer in suspense...

At four minutes and 90 seconds into the game No. 12, the referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over——!" the on-site commentator shouted, and then his voice was drowned by the huge cheers from the scene.

It doesn't really matter what the commentator says next. Now is the time for emotional catharsis. Everyone just needs to keep yelling and venting their emotions.

Lin Yi was pulled into the interview area by reporters immediately after the game for an interview.

As the chief director of this great reversal, everyone wants to hear what he thinks of this reversal.

"I'm afraid no one would have thought before the game that you would have such a difficult game against Monchengladbach at home, right? It wasn't until the last moment that you completed the comeback..."

"Of course, this is football, no one knows how this game will turn out." Lin Yi spread his hands and said.

"What did you think about that ball at the last moment?"

"I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to get it done."

"You can actually shoot that ball yourself..."

"Yes. But Firmino has a better chance than me, so of course I have to pass it to him."

"That's true. It's just a little pity. After all, you have already scored twice. If you score another goal, it will be a hat trick..."

Lin Yi waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's no pity. The team's victory is more important than anything else. Besides hat tricks and so on, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Two consecutive wins in the Champions League group stage have given Liverpool a favorable situation to qualify for the group stage. For Liverpool, the death group is no longer considered death.

This result makes Klopp very satisfied, even if the league will start in three days, Klopp chose to give up the league early and rested most of the main players, especially the Red Army Trident, who played the whole game. But what people didn't expect was that Liverpool, with a semi-main lineup, actually tied Everton 1:1.

Klopp, who was already prepared to lose three points, unexpectedly gained a point, and his unbeaten record continued to be refreshed!
