Chapter 339 Second Half

"I saidLiverpool can't stop us, the performance in the first half is the best proof." Back in the locker room, Li Yi said.

2:1, this is the score at the end of the first half. Gerrard, Liverpool relied on the captain's powerful long-range shot from outside the penalty area, and broke through the goal behind Petr Cech with a world wave.

But this kind of world wave cannot happen frequently, even if Gerrard's long-range shot is against the sky, besides, Cagliari is not a soft persimmon, and now Cagliari is leading, and it is still at Anfield.

"However, Liverpool should not be underestimated, so if we want to win the game and advance to the next round, we must show 100% concentration and 100% effort." From the moment Li Yi became the head coach, he kept telling himself not to underestimate any team, and at the same time warned his players to maintain sufficient concentration at all times.

To the outside world, Li Yi seemed arrogant, and he was not afraid of anyone, but in private, Li Yi had enough respect for every opponent.

"In the second half, we will fight back." After the intermission, the Liverpool players must have calmed down, and the next question is about the outcome of this game.

With Cagliari already scoring two away goals, what Liverpool need to consider is to win this game, because only by winning this game can Liverpool take the initiative in the second round.

Li Yi's words were verified after the start of the second half. Cagliari started to attack, but the ball was surrounded by Liverpool just after halftime.

Fortunately, Guardiola has rich experience and immediately discovered Liverpool's attempt to pass the ball, but even so, Cagliari still failed to complete the first shot in the second half.

Franck Ribery's wide breakthrough was finally brought down by Finnan, Cagliari got a set-piece opportunity, and then Guardiola sent the ball into the penalty area, but the ball was finally pushed out by Carragher.

Offensive and defensive transition, the ball fell at the feet of Smicer, who found Kewell with a long pass, and the Australian immediately took the ball and attacked Cagliari's penalty area.

Balzaretti, outside the penalty area, the Cagliari left back blocked Kewell, but Balzaretti couldn't stop Kewell from passing the ball.

Baros and Maicon tried their best to intercept, but they failed to stop Baros' shot when he took the lead. Unfortunately, Cech was still standing in front of Cagliari's goal, and the ball was finally crushed by Cech.

Immediately Cech immediately launched a fast break, the ball was passed to Maicon's feet, and the last kick was given to Guardiola. Although Guardiola was double-teamed by two players, he still sent the ball out.

Di Natale, a direct pass of the ball came to Di Natale's feet, but when Di Natale retreated to respond, Carragher also pulled out.

"BeautifulHeel ballDi Natale passed the ball into the Liverpool penalty area."

"DangerHypiaLiverpool's central defender shovels the ball under Milito's feet from behind." This time Hypia defended very calmly, put a shovel behind Milito, and finally completed the clearance.

This is the experience of a veteran. You must know that Milito is in Liverpool's penalty area at the moment. If he is not careful, it will be a penalty.

The ball returned to Liverpool's feet, and then Liverpool quickly entered the Cagliari half, and then another long-range shot, this time from Nunes on the right, the ball was slightly higher.

In 3 minutes, in the 8th minute of the opening of the second half, Cagliari finally ushered in the first shot of the second half. Poboski made a cross, Milito's header from the penalty area was blocked by Dudek, and then the corner kick was directly confiscated by Dudek.

"OhLiverpool's absolute advantage in the second half." The Liverpool people watched with enthusiasm, because Liverpool firmly took the initiative in the second half.

But the Liverpool people didn't realize that even though they shot more times, they didn't really threaten Cagliari's goal, and Liverpool didn't have any advantage in possession of the ball.

If you want to win the game, you still have to rely on goals, and it is just a waste of time to pretend to not score like Liverpool. After all, Cagliari is still leading now, and they still hold two away penalty areas.

In fact, the Liverpool coach on the sidelines has already discovered this problem. Liverpool seems to have an advantage, but in fact there is no advantage. On the contrary, Cagliari's counterattack is very sharp.

Although Cagliari's counterattack did not score, it is really a threat, definitely surpassing these shots of Liverpool, and according to Benitez's pre-match research, Cagliari is a team that is very good at counterattacks.

Since the results of the Champions League knockout draw came out, Benitez began to study Cagliari, and it was only after this research that Benitez discovered that Cagliari is a very terrible team.

They are good at attacking, and their ability to take my chances is very good, but when they really want to defend, they can also retreat and defend, and they are definitely not worse than any team in Serie A. They can even rely on counterattacks to gain an advantage in defense.

Even Cagliari is very good at taking advantage of this. Cagliari is used to launching a strong attack to create a goal at the beginning, and then retreat tactically after scoring a goal, and then completely defeat the opponent through a counterattack.

So if you want to contain Cagliari, you must not let it score first, but the current situation is already obvious. With Cagliari's two goals in 2 minutes, Liverpool has no way out, because these two goals are not just goals.

At this moment, Benitez missed Alonso who was sitting in the stands at the moment. Yes, in this crucial game, Alonso also came to the stadium and sat in the stands.

Smicer's control of the rhythm is not good. Although Gerrard has this talent, he can't compare with Alonso. However, it is an exaggeration to say that the midfielder with Alonso and the midfielder without Alonso are completely two grades.

Benitez was later kicked out by Liverpool. It all started when he sold Alonso. It is said that Benitez is a person who is completely inflexible. Of course, this does not mean that he is a master of tactics in terms of skills and tactics.

Benitez's problem lies outside the stadium. The breakup between him and Alonso was completely unnecessary. Because his daughter was ill, Alonso wanted to ask for leave to go back and have a look, but Benitez refused.

And Alonso who left Benitez is still the same Alonso, and even ushered in a new height in his career. On the contrary, Benitez without Alonso was swept out by Liverpool.
