Chapter 164 Fighting Back
In the locker room, Heynckes had already lost his temper and began to explain what happened in the second half.

"At the beginning of the second half, we have to launch a counterattack. We must score goals as soon as possible, so that we can have enough time to reverse the game. Glenn (Johnson) and Fabio (Aurelio) you have to seize the opportunity to step forward and assist. In the first half, you did not show the tactical role of our two sides at all. Lucas, you need to pay more attention to defense. Harvey (Alonso) also needs to make up for the situation. I don't want to see them easily penetrate the middle..."

The absence of Xiao Ma also has a great impact on the team, Lucas does not have his defensive ability at all.

At the end, Eunuch Hai added: "This is only the second group match. Even if we lose this game, we still have enough games to qualify. You don't need to put too much pressure on us."

Eunuch Hai meant to counterattack in the second half, but don’t worry if the counterattack fails, this game can be allowed to lose.

But Liu Ting didn't think so, this game must be won, to make those guys look good.

At the beginning of the second half, the Liverpool team counterattacked according to Heynckes' instructions.

In the 47th minute, Glenn Johnson passed a long diagonal pass from the right. Liu Ting received the ball and broke into the penalty area and hit the goal from a small angle on the left rib. The opponent's French goalkeeper Frey saved the ball out of the bottom line.

Javi Alonso corner kick, Gerrard headed high in front of the goal.

In the 49th minute, Gerrard passed the ball in the middle, and the shot from the right side of the restricted area of ​​​​Duit was once again blocked by Frey.

In the 51st minute, Torres' long-range shot from the restricted area was confiscated by Frey.

Liverpool launched a steady stream of offensives, but Fiorentina has a solid defense. The defensive genes of the Italian team are the best.

On the sidelines, Fiorentina head coach Cesare Prandelli looked like he was holding his hands.

Prandelli is also a famous Italian coach. Although he has no experience in coaching giants, he has also coached Parma, Fiorentina and other Serie A giants, and he can lead the team to achieve good results. For example, under his leadership, Fiorentina is now a strong contender for the Champions League qualification every season.

After next year's World Cup, Prandelli will also take over the Italian national team and lead the Italian team to the final in the European Cup in 12.

Prandelli is a really good coach. He naturally knows this situation. As long as he withstands Liverpool's counterattack at the beginning of the second half, he will win most of the game. Therefore, he arranged detailed tactics in the midfield for the Fiorentina players to implement. He believes that his team can withstand this wave of attack.

In the 55th minute, Lou Ting's header was blocked from the bottom line by the opponent's defender Gamberini.

In the 60th minute, Torres responded and Xavi Alonso missed the goal under interference.

After attacking for more than ten minutes, the rhythm of both teams began to slow down. The continuous attack was too exhausting, and even if they wanted to attack, they had to slow down first.

Seeing the pace of the game slow down, Prandelli on the sidelines finally felt relieved. Although he believed that his team could withstand it, no one knew what would happen until it really stood up.

In the following time, the two teams began to slow down, and the scene became a tug-of-war.

At this time, both teams need to breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Ting didn't think so. The more time passed, the more difficult it became for Liverpool to reverse.

In the 69th minute, Fiorentina poured the ball from the backcourt, and Liu Ting, Torres, and Dirk Drivet pressed in the frontcourt. However, Liu Ting and Torres looked more like a symbolic press, and only the physical madman Dirk Dirk kept pressing the opponent.

There was a fierce grab from Dirk, and the ball naturally shifted to the left where the grab was not so fierce.

Fiorentina's Marchionne casually returned a pass to full-back Comotto, but Liu Ting suddenly accelerated behind him.

"Wow...dangerous!" The fans at the scene couldn't help exclaiming.

When Komoto was about to receive the ball, Liu Ting caught up with the ball and flicked it lightly. The ball changed direction to the right. Liu Ting evaded the opponent and took the ball to the penalty area.

Another Fiorentina defender Danielli immediately stepped forward to make up for it, but Liu Ting took advantage of the situation to pull the ball.

"Beautiful... Marseille roundabout!" The England commentator said excitedly.

A Marseille roundabout passed Danielle, and Liu Ting was already single-handed.

Today, Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey, who is in good form, attacked, and Liu Ting chose to hit the wicket.

The ball passed through the crotch precisely, and no one could block the trajectory of the ball.

"Goooooooal!!! Liu, beautiful goal! Steals from the frontcourt, counterattacks and shoots a one-stop goal!"

Liu Ting's beautiful goal made the Frankie Stadium quiet for a moment, but Liu Ting rushed to the sidelines and booed the home fans to stimulate them.

Liu Ting simply celebrated, and soon returned to the court to prepare for the kick-off. Liverpool still need to continue to score if they want to reverse.

The game restarted, and Liverpool took the opportunity to attack again.

In the 74th minute, Glenn Johnson made a cross from the right. Fiorentina defender Gamberini made a header to clear the siege. Harvey Alonso from the outside kicked the ball into the penalty area again.

Frey also reacted quickly this time, but the shot was too close. He couldn't change the direction when he touched the ball, and the ball still flew into the goal.

"Goooooooal!!! Still Liu, Liu scored again and Liverpool equalized!"

"Liu scored two goals in 5 minutes and single-handedly helped Liverpool equalize!"

Prandelli, who was on the sidelines, spat furiously at the field. In fact, he knew that it was not a player's mistake, but the sudden outburst of the opponent's star that changed the game, especially the first goal was scored by the Chinese man alone. This is the most annoying situation for the head coach.

And then the second goal was more because his own player hadn't recovered from the blow of losing the ball, and the opponent seized the opportunity to make another victory.

Prandelli on the sidelines suddenly felt that it would be a good result to score one point at home.

Next, Fiorentina shrank even tighter under the command of the head coach. There were only a little over ten minutes left in the game, and it was enough to keep a draw.

The fans of the home team in the stands also changed their mentality and stopped thinking about getting three points. The opponent is the defending champion, and a point at home is also good. Anyway, Fiorentina only needs one place to qualify for the group, and they don't need to compete with their opponents for the first place in the group.

Otherwise, with the opponent's current offensive and the perversion of the Chinese, maybe something will happen.

Under such changes, the game time passed by every minute and the score continued to remain at 2:2. Liverpool had an advantage on the field but did not have a good chance.

By the 88th minute, there was not much time left in the game.

Liverpool attacked the frontcourt again, Harvey Alonso transferred the ball to Liu Ting's feet on the left, and the Fiorentina players were immediately on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Liu Ting took the ball and dribbled for two steps. Immediately, two people came up to double-team him. Liu Ting returned the ball to Gerrard in the middle.

When Liu Ting returned the ball, he ran forward, and Gerrard came over with a tacit understanding, but Liu Ting still had to face the opponent's two defenders when he got the ball.

Liu Ting slammed the ball, Gamberini came up to press, and hit Liu Ting's shoulder covertly at the moment of being dunked. Liu Ting staggered, and Danielle was ready to take advantage of Liu Ting's unstable center of gravity to break the ball.

At the last moment of an important game, if the score is not drawn, the referee will generally judge the penalty kick cautiously, and the opponent's collision just now was very subtle. Liu Ting did not fall to the ground to bet on the referee's penalty kick, but tried hard to stabilize his body and control the ball.

Danielle had already judged the direction of the ball, Liu Ting staggered and he could easily get the ball, but Liu Ting stumbled and accidentally poked the ball with his toe, and the ball passed between his legs.

"Beautiful...the crotch is amazing!"

"Liu just seemed to be slipping or something, but when his center of gravity was unstable, he passed Danielle through the crotch." When the screen came to the commentary, it became Liu Ting's deliberate action.

Danielle was accidentally pierced through the crotch and couldn't catch up. Liu Ting stabilized his figure and immediately caught up with the ball. Frey had to attack again. Liu Ting volleyed the near corner of the goal before he got close.

Frey had done his best to fly and save, but the ball flew past his hands and flew into the goal.

"Goooooooooal!!! The goal is scored! Hat-trick! Liu completed a hat-trick, he helped Liverpool complete a big comeback, it's unbelievable!" Most of the commentators who commented on this game said the word unbelievable.

Zhan Jun said: "This is Liu Ting's first hat-trick in the Champions League, and also his first hat-trick after joining Liverpool."

"However, this is not the first hat-trick of Liu Ting's career. He had three hat-tricks during his time in Bordeaux, one against Monaco in Ligue [-], one against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup, and one against Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup. This was just the fourth hat-trick of his career."

Well, the live dictionary of the Premier League started flipping through the pages again.

Liu Ting, who scored the goal, wanted to fight back against the Fiorentina fans, but when he rushed to the sidelines, he was held back by his teammates. Everyone gathered around him to celebrate, and he turned into a stack of arhats in a short while.

Liverpool's celebration ended, and there was not much time left in the game. Liverpool's intentional delay and the substitution quota in Heynckes' hand, Zheng Zhi got another chance to show his face in an important game, which allowed Liverpool to successfully keep the score until the end.

At the end of the game, the Fiorentina teenager Jovetic, who scored twice in the first half, came to ask Liu Ting to exchange jerseys, and Liu Ting happily agreed.

In the first half, Jovetic was the most glorious player in the game, scoring twice against the defending champion. If it weren't for Liu Ting's performance in the second half, he would have become the most glorious player in the game.But now that Fiorentina has lost the game, Jovetic is more likely to win titles such as 'a young player who performed well' and 'a young player with great potential'.

At the post-match press conference, Liu Ting first said: "To win this game, I should thank a Fiorentina fan. Because I was a little hungry before the start of the game but didn't eat, my performance in the first half was not good enough, but this fan sent me a few bananas at the end of the half-time.

The reporter's lights flickered wildly, this is definitely the highlight of tomorrow's news.

Everyone knew that Liu Ting was fighting back against the discriminatory behavior of Fiorentina fans, and was also mocking the opponent.

Prandelli on the side said with a dark face: "We didn't lose to Liverpool, we just lost to one person."

On the contrary, regarding the banana incident, Fiorentina remained silent. Liverpool won the ball and did not pursue it too much. They just protested, because this is really common in Italy.

Black Italian players like Balotelli are racially discriminated and abused almost every game, but he rarely criticizes this, because he grew up in Italy and knows what the Italian football environment looks like.

Of course, it is also possible that the mentally disabled child doesn't care about it.
