The strongest winger

Chapter 480 This is Anfield

Aiello's behavior completely blew up the atmosphere at Anfield, and the response to him was undoubtedly overwhelming boos, and this moment was also a time to test the pressure resistance of the Valencia players' eardrums. In such an atmosphere, ordinary players would have been scared out of their wits, but Aiello and his teammates didn't care. Since it was an away game, they were already prepared to be booed.

According to Aiello's theory, the louder the booing, the more fearful the fans in this stadium are about him.

Although Ai Luo did not continue to challenge the fans in the stands, he would always hear disgusting boos when he was warming up. Although it would not affect his performance, it would always give people an uncomfortable feeling.

Humans don't like being booed by nature!
After the warm-up was over, except for the substitute players who were warming up on the field, the rest of the main players rushed into the locker room to make final preparations for the next game.

In the locker room of the home team, the players who started the game for the next game gathered in front of Benitez, obeying his final tactical arrangement, because they had no way out, and they had to win this game, otherwise they would only be eliminated...

"For this game, we have given up the league. I believe you don't need me to continue to emphasize the importance of this game. If we win, we will enter the final, but if we draw or lose, we will be eliminated. But I believe that everyone here does not want to be eliminated at home, so...we must attack in this game, and we must score goals as soon as possible!!!"

The players in front of Benitez all had solemn expressions. They had already realized the importance of this game after the loss at the Mestalla Stadium. Therefore, after Benitez said so, their attitude towards the game became more correct.

In fact, judging from Benitez's starting lineup, we can know his emphasis on this game.

Even his favorite Harvey Alonso was placed on the bench. The two full-backs used Riise and Finnan, who are good at assists. The full-backs listed Pennant's Zenden, and the double forwards were Crouch and Dirk.

If there is a strong offensive lineup, Valencia will naturally stay away from the away game.

Just looking at the Liverpool starting roster in his hand, Flores can deeply feel the home team's desire to win. Fortunately, he is more inclined to defend in formation, otherwise he will really be blown away by Liverpool's aggressive formation in the away game.

After clarifying your thoughts, explain the tactical requirements of this game to the players clearly.

As the captain Albelda missed this crucial game due to injury, Flores considered for a long time. Albelda's position was taken by Edu, which can be regarded as maintaining the depth of defense, but he has been out of battle for a long time and his state is flawed.

Therefore, in this game, Ballack's work tends to be in series with the midfield rather than directly participating in the offense.

Liverpool is playing at home, taking advantage of the right time, place and people. Flores' tactical thinking is still biased towards defense. "Ruben defends in the center and sets up a barrier in front of the central defender. Edu is responsible for defending on the two sides. In the next game, Liverpool's offensive will definitely use the two sides. Also, Michael's position is a little bit behind, don't rush forward..."

Baraja, Edu, and Ballack nodded at the same time. They all knew that this was the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final match, and they dared not be negligent. After winning at home, they should naturally choose to defend in the away game. After all, they are not strong enough to ignore any opponent.

David Silva performed very well in the last game, so Flores' requirement for him is to use his dribbling and excellent vision to deliver shells to Aiello or David Villa.

After finishing the order, Flores focused his attention on Ai Luo, and said with a frown: "If there is an opportunity, we must seize the opportunity. As long as we score an away goal, our hope of advancing to the final will be greater..."

With the arrival of the game signal, TV commentators from other countries who did not come to the live studio became excited at this moment. Looking at the Liverpool fans wearing red jerseys around Anfield and the UEFA Champions League logo around the stadium, they all knew that this season's UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg Liverpool vs. Valencia is about to start.

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV or computer are particularly excited at the moment. The Premier League is the league they often watch. Liverpool also has a long history and tradition.
At this moment, the Champions League theme song "Champions-League" was played live, and the camera also switched from the stadium to the player tunnel.

"This-is-Anfield!!"

Before stepping onto the court, Ai Luo looked up at the plaque on the lintel directly above, and there was such a sentence engraved on it, which means in Chinese, 'This is Anfield! '

It is said that this sentence is very famous. It was installed manually by the legendary Liverpool coach Bill Shankly. The main purpose is to remind players entering the away game-this is Anfield Stadium.

You are about to face the great Liverpool!

Of course, a large part of the reason is to remind the Liverpool players who are playing at home, now you represent not only yourself, but the great Liverpool!

However, Ai Luo just glanced at it for a while, and didn't care. If possible, he even wanted to spit out a mouthful of saliva, but this was obviously impossible, because there was... live TV!
As one of the key players in this game, he has naturally become one of the most watched players.

The red stands sang loudly as players from both sides stepped onto the field.

This singing is not as passionate or full of dynamic rhythm as the singing of other clubs, it is like good pop music, this singing is mellow and low, simple and easy to understand.

If you are a fan who often watches the Premier League, you will know that this is Liverpool's team song "You will never walk alone"

Hearing the singing from the stands, Ai Luo was a little shocked. You must know that the stadium radio is playing the theme song of the UEFA Champions League, and the singing of the home team fans in the stands seems to overwhelm the singing of the radio. This has to make people admire the die-hard fans of the England team.

The game has not yet started, and the fans at Anfield Stadium are already in full swing, and the whole stadium is full of their voices. Although there are nearly 2 Valencia fans who came to Liverpool, plus Chinese fans who support Aiello near the UK, the total should be nearly 3, but only about 5000 lucky people can enter the stadium.

Compared with the nearly 4 enthusiastic Red Army fans, their voices are not enough for the home team fans to grit their teeth.

The referee stood on the right side of Liverpool's arc, looked down at the watch on his wrist, and kept the whistle in his mouth. The sound on the scene gradually slowed down, and he didn't know if he was preparing for the next sound.

beep~~~
With the whistle of the referee, the second leg of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League semi-final match between Liverpool and Valencia at home was announced.

"China Central Television, CCTV, hello viewers, you are watching the second round of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Liverpool played at home against last season's La Liga champion Valencia. Now Valencia is attacking from the right to the left of the camera, and the home team Liverpool is attacking from the left to the right of the camera..."

Following the referee's whistle, Huang Jianxiang began the traditional opening line of CCTV-5.

Aiello moved the ball under his feet to David Villa, and then he ran forward slowly. Then, Mascherano, who defended him quite successfully in the last round, followed up, but the distance was a little farther than the previous round.

Valencia took advantage of the first kick-off and took the lead in attacking Liverpool's goal. They took advantage of their skillful technique at their feet. After more than a dozen passes, the football came to Aiello's feet.

Shhhhhhh-
"Dog-bitch!"

"?"

"Look at that girl you're dribbling with the ball?"

……

……

As soon as Aiello received a direct pass from David Silvaser, there was a lot of swearing and boos from the stands behind him. The sound was so loud that many fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly hear it.

However, Aiello was not disturbed, but faced the defense of Mascherano and Finnan without fear, took the ball two steps forward, and then made a feint with his upper body, which made Finnan and Mascherano shift their center of gravity to the right, and then Aiello knocked the ball to the right side of the body with the heel of his left foot.

Mascherano reacted quickly, seeing the frequency of Ai Luo's waving ball, and wanted to fall to the ground to destroy the ball, but Ai Luo's waving frequency was faster than he expected, and he poked away with the toe of his right foot before his left foot arrived, and jumped up cleverly.

No one thought that Javier Mascherano, who had no temper at all, would be easily swayed by Aiello in less than a minute of the opening. Gerrard was half a beat behind when he came up to cover the defense. Facing Agger, Ailuo swung his right foot.

But because the turf was too slippery, the supporting feet did not stand, and the football was higher than the beam. More appropriately, it should be called an anti-aircraft gun.

In the KOP stand, which can accommodate more than 1 people, although all plastic seats have been installed, the fans here still choose to stand and watch the game. They are the hardest group of people, and almost all the momentum leading the Anfield fans are created from here.

And Ai Luo's shot directly fired an anti-aircraft gun. Naturally, they would not miss this opportunity to humiliate Ai Luo. The overwhelming whistle came from the KOP stand behind the goal.
