Chapter 344

On May 5th, Bayern will visit Liverpool at home. The two sides will play the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. On the other side, Real Madrid has already advanced to the final.

Because Bayern successfully defended their home court and took a 2:1 lead, Liverpool was under a lot of pressure in this game because their chances of being eliminated were not small.

Both sides attach great importance to this battle, because it involves the question of who can enter the Champions League final. Both sides have already won the league championship, and now they have put all their focus on the Champions League. It can be said that they are going all out for this battle. .

The TV broadcast focused the camera on the court, and the players on both sides were already in their respective positions.

Then the referee of this game blew the whistle to start the game!

After the game started, the two teams did not have the fiery scenes that people expected. There was no quick transition between offense and defense, and there was no fierce confrontation.

In comparison, they played very cautiously, and there were no exciting scenes on the court.

This is normal. After all, it is a heavyweight game related to the Champions League finals. In such a game, no one wants to make a mistake first, so being conservative and cautious is the natural choice.

Moreover, when masters compete with each other, whoever makes the first move will reveal a flaw that the opponent can take advantage of.

So in this kind of deal-making, the game started 8 minutes ago, and neither team had a shot yet.

This shows how much each other values ​​and is cautious.No matter how excited everyone is in the locker room, they have to calm down when the whistle blows when they go on the field. They can't really let their blood get to their heads.

It wasn't until the 9th minute that an exciting scene appeared on the field.

Alonso sent a through ball in front of the penalty area and passed the football to the right side of the penalty area.Gotze received the ball on the wing and then used a change of direction to dribble into the penalty area.

"Gotze! Bayern Munich's attack reached the Liverpool penalty area!" the British commentator exclaimed.

The Bayern Munich fans in the stands just cheered, but they were drowned out by the boos of the Liverpool fans.

Amid the boos, Lewandowski in the middle stretched out his hand and motioned for Gotze to pass the football to him.But at this time, it is simply fanciful to want Gotze to pass the football out... As expected, Gotze, who was dribbling horizontally, did not choose to pass the ball, but tried to shoot by himself. As a result, the football was used by Lovren who rushed towards him. My feet blocked it...

"Oops!" the British commentator yelled regretfully: "What a pity! Gotze's breakthrough was very beautiful, but the choice of this last kick... is still worthy of discussion..."

He Wei exclaimed: "What a danger! Bayern Munich suddenly exerted force, and Liverpool seemed a little unprepared and exposed a flaw. Fortunately, Lovren made up for it in time... But if Gotze had just chosen to pass the ball instead of shooting, It’s hard to say what the result will be. After all, there is Lewandowski in the middle... Of course, with Gotze’s character, it would be normal if he didn’t pass the ball... Haha!”

Although Gotze did not score the goal, it gave the audience hope of a fierce competition.The previous tentative phase is over and the game should now be on track.

Soon, Liverpool launched a wave of attacks towards Bayern Munich's goal.

After Lin Yi passed the ball back and forth with his teammates in the midfield, he suddenly and skillfully sent the football to the wing, and Henderson appeared on the left to receive the ball.

After receiving the ball, Henderson took the ball and rushed into Bayern Munich's penalty area.

Ram came up to defend him, preventing him from directly entering the penalty area and having to slow down.

Just when he slowed down, Lin Yi had already appeared not far from him, ready to respond.

It stands to reason that at this time Henderson should pass the football to Lin Yi quickly, and then cut and run to get rid of Lahm.

But after Henderson made a move to pass the ball to Lin Yi, he did not actually pass the ball. Instead, he feinted and turned around to forcefully break through Ram.

He pushed the football towards the baseline with his left foot, turned around and accelerated to chase the football.

Lahm was indeed shaken by Henderson's fake pass to Lin Yi at first, but his reaction was quick enough and he immediately turned around to chase Gotze.

Henderson was not very fast, and there was not much space for him to sprint with the ball, so he was quickly caught up by Ram.

Faced with Ram's pursuit, Henderson used the outside instep of his right foot to reverse the football, preparing to stop and accelerate to change direction.

Two consecutive changes of direction finally succeeded in getting away from Lahm. Gotze moved the football into the penalty area with his right foot and accelerated into the penalty area. Facing Martinez who was rushing towards him, Henderson shot with his right foot. Make an arc out of the football and go straight to the back corner of the goal!
Amid the exclamations, Bayern Munich goalkeeper Neuer jumped into the air and lifted the football with one hand!

"Oh——! Henderson! Nice breakthrough and shot!"

While many people were still regretting that Gotze's shot failed to score, Henderson himself sat down on the turf and rubbed the muscles behind his right thigh where he shot with his hands, looking painful. …

The camera quickly found Henderson, and everyone saw something unusual about him.

"Uh, what's going on?" He Wei was surprised. "Looking at him like this, it looks like he was injured while shooting?"

The referee stopped the game and signaled Liverpool's team doctor to come on.Lin Yi also ran over, concerned about Henderson's situation: "Man, what's wrong?"

"It seems to be a strain..." Henderson frowned, looking very frustrated.

He didn't expect to be injured just at the beginning of the game. He felt that he would definitely not be able to last in this game...

The team doctor ran up, checked Henderson and said, "I'm sorry, you can't play this game."

After hearing this, Henderson covered his face with his hands and lowered his head.

At the same time, the team doctor got up and made a "substitute" gesture to Klopp off the court.

"Hell!" Klopp couldn't help but cursed after seeing this gesture on the sidelines.

But he still asked the assistant coach to let Milner warm up.

"Liverpool's team doctor made a gesture to make a substitution, which meant that Henderson would not be able to continue in the game... As a starter in this game, he was substituted after only 10 minutes. This is really unexpected. …”

Henderson's accidental injury not only gave Bayern Munich one less headache opponent, but also completely disrupted Liverpool's pre-match arrangements, thus further reducing the threat to Bayern Munich.

Look at Klopp's expression. When the TV showed Klopp a close-up shot, he clenched his teeth and his brows were twisted into a mess, which shows how unhappy he is now.

Bayern Munich fans want to see this expression from their mortal enemy.

Henderson eventually limped off the field with the help of the team doctor, while Milner, who replaced him, ran onto the field.

Klopp walked over to greet Henderson and hugged him as a comfort to him.Then Henderson sat in his seat, and an ice pack was quickly wrapped under his right thigh.

Only 10 minutes into the game, Liverpool lost one of its generals.

This makes many people worried about Liverpool's prospects.

The two teams are originally very close in strength, and it is difficult to say who will definitely win. Therefore, any unexpected factor will attract attention, because it may cause an imbalance in the balance.

Obviously, after Henderson came off injured, the balance was broken.

Bayern Munich will definitely seize this opportunity to continuously put pressure on Liverpool. The Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV are very excited and can't wait for Bayern Munich's next offensive frenzy.

But before that, they had to let Liverpool take the corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, the football was not hit by Lovren, but was punched out by Neuer who attacked.

Bayern Munich fans in the stands cheered.

The Bayern Munich fans in front of the TV began to look forward to the team's counterattack.

But first the football must fall at the feet of the Bayern Munich players.

As a result, the football fell to Lin Yi's feet. After Lin Yi lifted his foot to remove the football, he turned around and used his body to protect the football, blocking Alonso from behind.

But this also makes him turn his back to the direction of the attack. It seems that he can only choose to pass crosswise or back. It becomes very difficult to send a fatal pass.

Alonso stayed behind Lin Yi, while other Bayern Munich players rushed out, intending to leave behind those Liverpool players who had not yet reacted and let them fall into the offside trap.

At the same time, forward pressure can also be used to get in faster during counterattacks.

Alonso, on the other hand, continued to put pressure on Lin Yi from behind, and at the same time he could not foul. He was very careful, because Lin Yi is a very cunning player. Who knows if he will dive again...

Under his pressure, Lin Yi seemed to have no choice but to dribble the ball back.

But just after Lin Yi lightly knocked the ball back, he swung his right foot forward, kicked it back quickly, and knocked the football behind him with his heel!

The football slipped between the legs of Alonso, who was caught off guard, and passed by the Bayern Munich players who were rushing out.

After some Bayern Munich players saw the football slipping away from their feet, they raised their arms as a reflex to indicate offside - no matter who behind him received the ball, he must have been offside!

They turned around and saw Firmino receiving the ball!
Offside!

Many Bayern Munich players stood there. They did not return to defense, but raised their arms high, like good students who actively answered the teacher's questions in class.

But what surprised them was... they didn't hear the referee's whistle!

There was no whistle, and when I looked at the linesman, he didn't raise his flag either.

Firmino is not offside?
"Not offside! Firmino received the ball, good ball!"

In shock, only Neuer's reaction was the fastest. He chose to abandon the goal decisively and attack!

The other Bayern Munich players were all stunned, and no one came up to defend Firmino.

After Firmino received the ball, he turned around and completed the adjustment, and then shot with his left foot!

His left foot twisted the football into an arc, just around the attacking Neuer, and flew directly to the back corner of the goal!
Neuer was powerless to do anything about this shot. He could only turn his head and watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding...

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!" the British commentator shouted excitedly, "TOR!! Firmino! The game has only started for 1 minutes, and Liverpool has taken the lead!"

"Good goal! Firmino! He opened the scoring for Liverpool! This is really surprising. After Henderson was injured and went off, many people were worried about Liverpool, but at this moment, the first goal was scored instead. It's Liverpool!" He Wei shouted excitedly. "The total score is now 2:2, because Liverpool has an away goal, and now it is Liverpool who takes the initiative!"

After the goal, Firmino ran towards the corner flag area and turned back to wave to his teammates, beckoning them to come up and celebrate.

The Bayern Munich players ran to the referee one after another, spreading their arms to protest and complain to him.

They believed that Firmino was definitely offside when Lin Yi passed the ball!

Before Lin Yi passed the ball, he didn't even look back at the situation behind him. He just kicked the football back. How could it not be offside?

But the referee acted very calmly when faced with questioning by a group of Bayern Munich stars: "Gentlemen, if you have any questions about my penalty, you can look at the big screen. But the ball is not offside."

he said, pointing to the big screen at Anfield.

The TV broadcast signal will also appear here, so there will definitely be a replay of the ball in a while. If there are Bayern Munich players who question his penalty, they can go and watch the TV replay themselves. They don’t believe in the referee’s eyes, so they have to believe it. Advanced technology, right?
Over there, the Liverpool players didn't care about the protests of the Bayern Munich players. They were celebrating to their heart's content, and the Liverpool fans in the stands cheered their celebrations with songs and shouts.

After the TV broadcast showed the celebration of the Liverpool players, it quickly cut to the moment when Lin Yi passed the ball to Firmino. Through slow motion and freeze frame, as well as the assistance of virtual technology, everyone can clearly see it. The moment Lin Yi knocked the football out with his heel, as many as three Liverpool players were in the offside position, but among these three players, Firmino happened to be absent.

Firmino was still among the Bayern Munich players at the time. He suddenly retreated and rushed forward after seeing Lin Yi passing the football.

Lin Yi's timing of passing the ball was very precise, and Firmino's starting timing was also very good.

The tacit cooperation between the two people made this goal a no-brainer!

A group of Bayern Munich players who were chattering around the referee also looked up at the big screen. When they saw the results presented through technical means, they were all speechless.

When Lin Yi passed the ball, Firmino was indeed not offside.

It was a very, very nice heel pass.

"Lin Yi's pass was so beautiful. It was very precise and sudden even though it was hidden. Bayern Munich's defense was all deceived by him, and he didn't even look back at the situation behind him. That's it. Passing the ball to Firmino's feet... This is not the first time Lin Yi has shown such a blind pass in a game. Sometimes people really wonder if he has eyes in the back of his head..." He Wei naturally praised Lin Yi generously.
