Chapter 114 The Tenacious Pompeii Legion
With Babel replaced, Liverpool's offensive can be more threatening.

In the 60th minute, Modric broke through the center and gave the ball to Dirk Dirk on the right. Dirk Dirk made a pass, and Torres headed high in the penalty area with no defense.

The Pompeii Legion was not reconciled to this score and was organizing a counterattack.

In the 67th minute, Crouch made a direct pass in the counterattack. Another Portsmouth forward, Nugent, succeeded in countering offside. He dribbled the ball into the penalty area and scored near the penalty spot.

"Torres wasted a good opportunity just now, and now Liverpool has been punished. This goal is actually Crouch's proof. He wants to prove his ability in front of his old club. His direct pass just now is very important."

Liverpool didn't expect Portsmouth to equalize so quickly, but everyone felt more offended and attacked wildly.

In the 69th minute, Liu Ting returned a pass from the side, and Mascherano missed a long shot in front of the penalty area.

In the 72nd minute, Liverpool got another chance.

Couitt's active running and pressing in the frontcourt achieved results. Crouch was about to pass the ball back to goalkeeper James.

As we all know, the goalkeeper can catch the ball with his hands in the penalty area, but it can only be the opponent's shot or his own non-footed return pass. The goalkeeper can catch the ball with his head or chest return pass, but the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball when kicking the goalkeeper. Of course, the goalkeeper who accidentally misses the ball can also touch the ball directly.

Although David James is an England goalkeeper, he is just taller than the dwarfs. England has never produced good goalkeepers. Most of the time, the main goalkeepers of the Premier League giants are foreign players. This time James showed his low level very well. This mistake gave Liverpool a free kick in the penalty area.

After discussing for a while within the Liverpool team, they planned to make a surprise move.

Xavi Alonso stood at the penalty spot, but Liverpool had several reception points in the penalty area.This is an indirect free kick. The ball must be taken out and someone else shoots. Of course, Alonso can also hit the goal, but it must be scored by someone else in front of the goal.

Liu Ting and Didier stood on the left side of Alonso, Arveiroa and Aurelio stood on the right side of Alonso, Torres and Alonso stood in front of the ball together, Liverpool could step on the ball with Alonso and Torres could hit the goal, or dial to the left or right for others to hit the goal.

Portsmouth's crowd lined up on Torres' direct path to the goal, and there were two players paying attention to Liu Tingna. Obviously, the opponent thought that the ball would either be Torres to hit the goal or Liu Ting to hit the goal.

However, Alonso flicked the ball to the right, and Aurelio hit the goal. As expected, the ball flew directly into the goal beyond Portsmouth's expectations.

"The goal has been scored!! Great goal!! An unexpected indirect free kick in the penalty area was coordinated by Liverpool, and the goal was successfully scored by left back Aurelio."

After such a complicated free-kick coordination, they finally overtook the score again, but leading by one goal is the most unsafe score, and Liverpool will continue to attack.

In the 75th minute, Liu Ting volleyed a kick after receiving a pass from Kevin Dirk. His right foot was not in the right place.

In the 78th minute, Alonso planned, Liu Ting went straight to the penalty area, Dirk Drivet ran back and pushed and scored, but the linesman raised the flag to signal offside.

Liverpool's offensive was fierce, but the Pompeii army was surprisingly tenacious.

In the 82nd minute, Portsmouth counterattacked, Aurelio made a tactical foul, and the opponent got a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

The opponent's Belhaj took a free kick, and Herdalsen erratically moved away from Agger who was defending him, and scored with an undisturbed header 8 meters in front of the penalty area. The Pompeii Army equalized the score again.

"Herdalsen!!! He redeemed himself. He helped the team equalize again. He scored an own goal shortly after the start of the second half. Now he has redeemed himself."

Looking at Herdalsen celebrating wildly, Liu Ting did not expect that Portsmouth is really tenacious, tying the score again and again, and now there should be only about 10 minutes before the end of the game including injury time. Liverpool only need to score goals.

In the 85th minute, Portsmouth's Distin made a mistake and let Torres easily break into the penalty area. This disrupted Portsmouth's defense. Torres returned a pass from the right side of the penalty area.

"Wow...Duitt missed a good opportunity! He had a chance to be a hero for the team, but he missed it."

Seeing that it was time to stoppage time, Heynckes couldn't sit still anymore. If the game was tied again, Manchester United would really overtake the points. He stood on the sidelines and kept shouting, but he was so nervous that no one could hear his shouts. It was already time for the bayonet fight, and the role of tactics became much smaller.

In the 91st minute, Alonso gave the ball to Liu Ting on the left. Liu Ting passed Glenn Johnson again with the ball.

This time Liu Ting also chose to pass the ball, otherwise he would be entangled by Johnson coming back after a while. Liu Ting directly kicked the ball to the front of the penalty area, and Didier Dirk jumped up and rubbed his head.

"Duit's header ferry!! Great opportunity!!!"

At the moment of the ferry, Torres stepped forward at the right side of the penalty area, completely throwing off the defense, and hit the goal with a header. David James had no choice but to watch the ball fly past him and into the goal.

Hansen was shouting: "Goooooooooooal!!! Torres!!! Torres killed the opponent!!!"

Zhan Jun also said: "This is a cooperation between the three strikers of Liverpool. Liu Ting took the ball, Dirk Dirk overshot, and Torres completed the goal. Although Dirk was nicknamed coolie, he is the striker who cooperates best with TNT."

The title of TNT also has a certain reputation in China.

After this goal, there is not much time left for Portsmouth. In addition, Shanghai Gonggong is still delaying time with substitutions. Liverpool won the game in a thrilling manner.

Zhan Jun said: "It was really a wonderful game. Liverpool won and Portsmouth also showed their tenacity. They suffered an own goal and were hit by the opponent twice, but they equalized twice and almost drew Liverpool at home."

"In the first half of the game, both sides failed to seize the opportunity, but the two teams scored a total of 5 goals in the second half. It was definitely a game of ups and downs."

After the game, Liu Ting, Torres and Dirk Dirk all scored the highest score of 8 points, and Babel, who started the game, scored the lowest 4 points for Liverpool.

Liverpool narrowly won, and Manchester United narrowly beat West Ham United 1-0 in the away game. They are still chasing Liverpool, and there will be a make-up match for Manchester United soon. Manchester United will overtake Liverpool by 2 points if they win the make-up match.

※※※

Liverpool beat Portsmouth in an away game and continued to remain unbeaten in the league. This wonderful game might be discussed by fans for a few days at other times, but this round was quickly forgotten because someone stole the limelight. Even Arsenal's 0-0 draw by Tottenham in the North London derby is not the most concerned thing in London.

Another London team, Chelsea, came out to steal the limelight - they were tied 0-0 by Hull City at home, and Scolari's dismissal was already on the agenda.

At home, there are already many Blues fans holding banners, which read: Scolari get out! !
There were only a few who prepared the banners in advance, but it didn't bother the clever Chelsea fans. The whole second half at Stamford Bridge was singing a song - 'You don't know what you're doing? ', this is ironic that Scolari doesn't understand football. It's hard to say if Scolari understands football, but he really doesn't understand English. This makes Scolari only know that he has been "sung" from reporters after the game.

This home game was tied, and Chelsea even fell out of the top three. They were overtaken by Aston Villa and fell to fourth for the first time in the standings. Arsenal might be comfortable in this position, but Abramovich is obviously unwilling to stay in this position. As expected, Chelsea announced the dismissal of Scolari the next day.

Benitez, who has rested at home for more than half a year, immediately became a popular candidate, and not just a popular candidate for a club. Chelsea has fired the head coach's club and he has scandals, and it is possible that Bayern Munich, whose coach has dismissed get out of class, has also been rumored with him.

Benitez has become popular in recent days. He really "just happened" to stand up and make a speech, claiming that he is responsible for all the achievements of Liverpool so far, and most of the players in the Liverpool team are now introduced by him.

So the media began to analyze whether Benitez was the biggest contributor to Liverpool, and for a while Beitu became a famous coach again.

The media hype, but the players have to go back to participate in the national team competition.

Liu Ting took the opportunity to go to Paris to meet Léa Seydoux. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time.

In the hotel in Paris, after some in-depth exchanges between the two, Saidoux suddenly said: "Liu, let's break up!"

"Why?" Liu Ting originally wanted to ask this question, but immediately thought that the matter between herself and Gerke had already been reported by a British tabloid.

Not knowing what to say, he had no choice but to act, Liu Ting buried his head in kissing her lips, and the two got entangled again.

Liu Ting stayed in Paris for a few days, and he didn't know if it was their last time.
