Chapter 330
After Firmino failed to score in this attack, the first half was coming to an end. In the 405th minute, Paris Saint-Germain player Maxwell broke through from the left and took a long shot. The football was blocked by Mini. Ole fought out.

This was also the last shot from both sides in the first half.

The referee quickly blew the whistle to end the first half.

"The first half is over! Liverpool temporarily leads Paris Saint-Germain with a score of 1:0. But just looking at this score, the situation is even more unfavorable for Paris. Now they must score three goals to eliminate their opponents, and what is left for them Time is running out..."

In the halftime commentaries of various TV stations, the hosts and guests analyzed the form of the game, but they were not very optimistic about Paris Saint-Germain.

Perhaps only Paris fans will believe that they are capable of scoring three goals in 45 minutes.Many people will not agree with this view.

In any game, it is difficult to score three goals in 10 minutes. Not to mention shortening the unit time by half, it is not as simple as doubling the difficulty.

And if Paris wants to score three goals in the second half, it must go all out in offense or even completely sacrifice defense.In this way, Liverpool will naturally have many opportunities to counterattack.

As long as Liverpool scores a goal, Paris Saint-Germain will basically collapse.

It was hard for the guests to imagine how Blanco had to adjust to score three goals in a row in the second half, while also ensuring that his defense did not concede the ball...

In the home team's locker room, Klopp was making substitutions.

"Salah, you come on in the second half!" Salah has just returned from injury. Although he did not participate in training, Klopp has given him the greatest trust.

The 15-minute intermission passed quickly as everyone waited impatiently.

After the players from both sides stood still on the court, the game did not start immediately.

The fourth official held up a substitution sign on the sidelines, and Salah stood next to him, waiting to be replaced.

This new situation surprised He Wei: "Salah is about to be replaced! And replacing Salah means that Liverpool will sound the charge for the second half of the attack! Liverpool, with a three-goal advantage, is still not satisfied! "

This substitution adjustment was made in the locker room, so Reiva does not have to play. He is now on the bench.

The fourth official raised the sign and told everyone that Liverpool had made a substitution.Salah ran directly onto the pitch without having to hand over to anyone.

As He Wei said, replacing Salah means that Liverpool has sounded the clarion call for the general attack.

From the beginning of the second half, except for Paris Saint-Germain launching an offensive after the kick-off, Liverpool basically besieged Paris Saint-Germain's goal.

At the beginning, when Liverpool was under siege like this, the French commentator kept telling the audience in front of the TV that this was a perfect opportunity for Saint-Germain to counterattack!

But he soon stopped saying that.

Because facing Liverpool's aggressive attack, Paris Saint-Germain couldn't even get past halftime, so what's the point of counterattack?

In the 5th minute of the second half, Salah pretended to break through on the left wing, then buckled the football back with his left foot, and then made a pass with his right foot.Firmino grabbed the spot in the middle and headed the ball slightly wide.

Three minutes later, Liverpool counterattacked with a through ball from Lin Yi, who accurately found Royce.Royce's diagonal shot from the left side of the penalty area missed again.

One minute later, Liverpool made a comeback. Lin Yi passed the football to Royce on the right in the middle, and Royce swept the football sideways to the goal.Firmino planned to stab the ball from behind, but unfortunately before him, the Paris Saint-Germain defender had already blocked the football, and it just fell into the hands of the attacking goalkeeper Trapp...

In the 5th minute, when Lin Yi led a sudden advance in the frontcourt, he was knocked to the ground by Motta. The referee decisively blew the whistle and whistled Motta for a foul. In addition to a verbal warning, Liverpool was given a free kick.

The free kick was still taken by Royce. Although the ball was a bit far from the goal, Royce shot it directly!

After the football went high over the wall, it looked like it was going to fly directly high and out of the baseline.

But after reaching the penalty area, the football suddenly fell!
Trapp hesitated at first, but when he saw the football falling, he quickly took a step back, then jumped up, stretched out his hands, and lifted the fallen football out in front of the crossbar!
"Oh! This ball... this ball seems to be falling!" This result surprised the commentators.

In 8 minutes, this time Paris Saint-Germain finally reached the edge of Liverpool's penalty area.

Motta got the ball in the middle, and then planned to pass it diagonally to his teammates on the line of the penalty area.

As a result, his intention to pass the ball was so obvious that Kanter, who was guarding him head-on, saw through it and blocked the football as soon as he stretched out his foot!
Kanter then passed the football to Lin Yi, who was nearby.

Lin Yi passed the ball horizontally to Salah diagonally in front of him.

When Salah received the ball, PSG players also pressed forward.

I saw Salah gently flicking the football to the right with the outside instep of his right foot, and then jumped up lightly, just dodging the Paris Saint-Germain player's attack.

Then he caught up with the football and ran forward with the ball!

Paris Saint-Germain's No. 2 player immediately came forward. Salah did not continue to break through with the ball this time, but passed the football to Royce who cut in from the right to the center.

It was a great pass because Royce was unmarked!
Because Liverpool's counterattack came when Paris Saint-Germain stole the ball when it was attacking, Paris Saint-Germain was caught off guard. There were not enough people to retreat and it seemed a little panicked.

Royce took advantage of this panic opportunity and received Salah's pass without being marked.

Then Royce dribbled the ball forward, and Matuidi caught up from behind, but Royce had already brushed half of his body away.He tugged on Royce's jersey, but when he thought that if he fouled now, he would give Liverpool a well-positioned free kick, he hesitated and let go.

Royce also took the opportunity to shake off Matuidi and reach the top of the penalty arc.

At the same time, Firmino, who was originally on the left, also cut inside and ran towards the center.

He and Royce met at the top of the penalty arc.He was in front, pulling Paris Saint-Germain's defender into the center, plus the center back who was originally defending Royce in the center, and Matuidi who was catching up from behind.It means that all of Paris Saint-Germain's defensive power is now concentrated in the small penalty arc area, and both the left and right sides are completely blank!
On the left, Lin Yi had already plugged in at high speed, and everyone could see it.

He Wei even shouted anxiously: "Pass the ball! Pass the ball!" He wanted Royce to pass the ball to Lin Yi.

Royce also saw Lin Yi cutting in from the left wing, so he pushed the football over with his right foot!

"Good shot!" The England commentator cheered for Royce's pass.

The football rolled towards Lin Yi, and he did not speed up to meet the ball while running. Instead, he began to adjust his pace. He took a long step forward, adjusted his pace to the most suitable rhythm, and then he raised his right foot. !
Shot without stopping the ball!
The inside of his right foot hit the football. The football flew up, drew an arc in the air, and turned directly to the back corner of the goal!

"Lin Yi - shoot -!!"

Goalkeeper Trapp flew into the air and stretched his arms to the limit, but he failed to touch the football!
He looked back at the goal and saw the football bypassing him and flying straight into the goal!
"Lin Yi!! Lin Yi!!" England's commentator excitedly shouted Lin Yi's name. "In 8 minutes, he expanded the lead for Liverpool! This goal was very, very beautiful!! Perfect arc! Direct shot without stopping the ball! Liverpool made it 4:0 in two rounds! And the second half only started 13 minutes ago! !”

When the football flew into the goal, Anfield Stadium erupted in huge cheers. This overwhelming cheer hit everyone in the stadium.To the Liverpool players, the cheers were like a shot in the arm, making their blood boil.

And to the Paris Saint-Germain players, the sounds and cheers were like a death knell... At Liverpool's home court, they were used to hearing the cheers of fanatical fans, but they were still shocked.

For a moment, their confidence was shaken, and they suspected that they had no chance at all...

The entire process of Lin Yi's goal was being replayed on the TV, from PSG's frontcourt attack being blocked to the final loss of the ball. In fact, the process was very short, maybe not even ten seconds in total.

Liverpool used their quick counterattack to the fullest.

After Lin Yi passed the football to Salah, he pushed forward from behind Salah without any hesitation, as if he knew he would get a chance if he appeared there.

Although the development of the attack at this time seemed to have nothing to do with him, Salah took the ball towards the center and then passed it to Reus on the other side.

When Royce dribbled the ball, everyone's eyes were on him. When he was almost in front of the penalty area, everyone paid extra attention to Firmino, who was running diagonally.

It wasn't until Royce was almost at the edge of the penalty area that Lin Yi appeared on the edge of the screen. However, he did not accelerate directly into the penalty area, but chose to slow down and cruise outside.

It wasn't until Royce also saw the space and passed the football that he accelerated and shot.

At this time, he became the focus of everyone's attention again.

"The quality of Lin Yi's direct shot without stopping the ball is very high. He seems confident, because if he shoots like this, it is actually very easy to shoot high... But people with good skills are bold, and nothing is impossible for Lin Yi! "He Wei kept praising Lin Yi.

After scoring, Lin Yi ran to the corner flag area to celebrate his goal. This was not the South Stand, but the cheers were still loud.

Reus, who assisted him, Firmino who was involved in the movement, and Salah also ran over from behind and hugged and celebrated in the corner flag area.

Blanco noticed the reaction of his players after losing the ball, and morale seemed to be declining...

So he rushed to the sidelines and shouted into the stadium: "Don't panic! We have nothing to lose, let's fight them!"

At the same time, he caught Di Maria and taught him face-to-face instructions, so that the team could actively launch a counterattack and be more aggressive. They could not shrink back in the second half and let the opponent attack.

"...The most important thing is to show our attitude and let them know that their back line is not safe and they can't keep attacking like this..." Blanco said and Di Maria nodded repeatedly.

Then he ran back onto the court and relayed the coach's words to his teammates.

After his reminder, everyone reacted - yes, we are already standing on the edge of the cliff anyway, how much worse can it be, so why not just give it a try.

Thinking of this, the players of Paris Saint-Germain gradually calmed down and their mentality was much calmer than before.

The Liverpool players also ended their celebrations and returned to their own half.

When the eyes of the players from both sides met in the air, they both felt that the game was still very long, long enough for a lot of things to happen...

PSG kicks off and the game resumes.

Paris Saint-Germain, whose mentality has returned to normal, is no longer desperate. They have kept in mind the coach's instructions to them - use our offense to let Liverpool see our attitude and let them know that we are not soft persimmons that can be pinched casually!
So PSG launched a very successful attack.

The ball was passed from the backcourt to the feet of young Lucas in the frontcourt. Lucas, who had his back to the attacking direction, did not try to turn around after taking the ball. He directly knocked the football back to Di Maria.

Di Maria didn't even stop the ball. Facing the football that was passed back, he directly swung his foot and then rubbed the football. The football went over the heads of the Liverpool defenders and flew directly into the space behind him!

At the same time, Cavani suddenly accelerated, strode forward, threw away the Liverpool defender, and appeared at the landing spot of the football!

"Not offside! This is a great opportunity for Paris Saint-Germain!!" the French commentator shouted excitedly.

At this moment, Mignolet abandoned the goal and rushed towards Cavani!
When Cavani raised his foot to stop the football, Mignolet had already rushed to him, and the two were close at hand!

After Cavani stopped the ball, he shot directly with his foot!
"Opportunity! Hit the door!!"

Amid He Wei's exclamations, Mignolet's right hand dragged underneath blocked the football shot by Cavani!
The football changed direction slightly and flew towards the baseline!

Then the Liverpool defender who was returning to defense kicked him out of the sideline...

"What a risk! What a risk! Mignolet made a wonderful world-class save!" the England commentator let out a long sigh.

"Cavani -" the French commentator was very sorry. "What a perfect opportunity! It was wasted like this..."

After taking the shot, Cavani collided with Mignolet. Cavani fell to the ground and got up. He was annoyed and disappointed when he saw that the football did not fly into the goal.
