When the second half of the game started, the Newcastle United players who played still had smiles on their faces that hadn't had time to disappear.

On the other hand, the Liverpool players all had solemn expressions.

"Liverpool players seem to be under a lot of pressure, but it's not surprising. This game is to decide whether they can stay in the championship sequence. If they lose to Newcastle United and Manchester United win the game. Liverpool will be behind Manchester United. Six points, with only seven rounds left in the game, it can already be declared that Liverpool have missed the league title."

"Compared with Liverpool, Newcastle United's players are undoubtedly much more relaxed, and they still have a smile on their faces. If they win this game, they may overtake Arsenal and enter the top four. Even if they cannot enter the top four, Newcastle this season. The United will not be disappointed, they have exceeded the club's mission and even entered the European theater."

…………

There was also a lot of discussion in the media seats.

The reporters of "The Sun" were the happiest. Usually they are not allowed to enter the Anfield Stadium, so the opportunity to watch Liverpool games can only be played away.

Therefore, when encountering an opportunity to slander Liverpool, the "Sun" reporter has never spared no effort.

"A match with a heavy burden, and a match with no burden. Think about who will win! In the middle of the season, Li Wei also said that he would win a heavyweight championship. After losing this match, I wonder how he will fulfill his The Covenant of Champions!"

Not all media hate Liverpool as much as the "Sun". The "Liverpool Echo" is Levi's loyal lackey.

The reporter of "Liverpool Echo" immediately retorted angrily: "Even if they lose this game, Liverpool still have the Champions League to fight for!"

The "Sun" reporter mocked: "Even Newcastle United can't win, Liverpool still wants to break out of the European giants, what a joke!"

But soon, the "Sun" reporter was slapped in the face, and he was slapped three times in a row.

…………

In the second half, after Li Wei's careful adjustment at halftime, Liverpool's performance was obviously better than that in the first half.

Ben Arfa, who was very active in the first half of the game, soon found that he could not play as freely as in the first half. Liverpool's midfielder Thiago Motta has been defending him closely.

Motta's defense is also very cunning (smart), Motta is not blindly seeking to steal the ball from Ben Arfa's feet.His defense is very smart. Seeing Ben Arfa take the ball, Motta immediately went up to interfere closely, preventing Ben Arfa from stopping the football easily.

If he is not sure about stealing the ball, Motta will keep his distance from Ben Arfa, delay his attack, and cooperate with other Liverpool players to defend Ben Arfa.

What makes Ben Alpha most uncomfortable is Motta's defense against high balls. Ben Alpha himself has a height of 1.7 meters. Although this height is not tall, it is not short either. With some shorter central defenders, Ben Arfa can also compete with the opponent for headers.

But how tall is Morta?
Motta is a full 1.8 meters tall!

This height can play a central defender.

Therefore, when there are Newcastle United players looking for Ben Arfa with a long pass, they will often find that Ben Arfa was destroyed by Motta around him without even touching the ball.

When Ben Arfa was contained, Newcastle United's left attack was immediately frustrated.Newcastle United began to give more of the ball to Jonas Gutierrez on the right, allowing him to send the football to the two high center forwards Demba Ba and Carroll.

Although Jonas Gutierrez did not arrange for someone to mark specifically, what Jonas Gutierrez encountered was Felipe Luis.

Jonas Gutierrez's teammate Messi in the national team played very difficult against Felipe Luis, let alone Jonas Gutierrez, an Argentine fringe international, it is difficult for him to break through Felipe Luis' defense.

Even if he broke through, the central midfielder Henderson also came up to help defend.

Although Henderson's defense was not good, it only needed a little time delay, and Felipe Luis immediately came back to pinch Jonas Gutierrez.

It is more difficult to attack in the middle. Although Cabaye performed well in Newcastle United, he is only good. He is not a strong midfielder like Yaya Toure and Gerrard.

When Newcastle United could not threaten Liverpool's gate, Liverpool's players immediately took back the initiative of the game.

And after the tempering in the first half, the Liverpool players also found a certain tacit understanding, and the game state also came out.

When football returned to the feet of Liverpool players, the short pass cooperation that Liverpool players were proud of began to increase, frequently creating threats in Newcastle United's half.

Griezmann and Suarez flew together on both wings, killing Newcastle United's full-backs only to parry, but not to fight back.

Originally, Alan Pardue saw that the team's offense was not able to play, and he was going to grit his teeth and let the full-backs advance to assist.As soon as he saw this situation, he immediately extinguished his little thoughts.

The full-backs are very reluctant to defend with all their strength. If they go forward and attack, they may turn around and be equalized by Liverpool.
