Chapter 297 Anfield Night

Benitez looked anxiously at the players on the sidelines. He knew in his heart that this situation would not last long. If he could not score a goal, the empty back line might be hit by the opponent's quick counterattack at any time, so he must take advantage of this opportunity to score a goal.

But at this time, although Liverpool's offense was very lively, they were indeed a little weak in front of the goal.Looking at the current Liverpool attackers, although Pennant is very talented, he is too edgy and eager to handle the ball; although Luis Garcia has made impressive performances from time to time, he is not stable and cannot continue to contribute to the team. lack, but if a team has such players, then the upper limit of this team will undoubtedly not be too high!

Liverpool is very embarrassed now, watching the attack is very lively, but it has been unable to break through Southampton's goal. As a last resort, midfielder Gerrard can only fire frequently. In just a few minutes, Gerrard found three long-range opportunities!
"Time and time again, Gerrard's long-range shots are getting closer and closer to the goal, but the closeness is close after all. As long as you don't score, it's useless to talk about these things. Liverpool must find a way to break through Southampton's goal as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Benitez stood on the sidelines and suddenly felt a little depressed, because he found that the team's offensive line did not seem to be much stronger than Southampton. Bale's speed and sense of smell on the wing made Benitez really salivate. Now Liverpool needs this kind of explosive player, and Rossi's playing style and shooting ability are in line with Benitez's appetite. If Rossi is not a Manchester United player, to be honest, Benitez wants to contact the opponent now!
What's more, not to mention these two, even Jones, who is now on the bench, may be more reliable than this Pennant in his opinion. Thinking of this, Benitez sighed. The current Liverpool midfield and defense are definitely capable of competing for the championship, but it is this striker that makes people feel headaches!
Just when Benitez was secretly sad, on the pitch, Liverpool suffered a huge blow again, and it was another chance to counterattack. Liverpool's backcourt, which continued to attack, became even more empty. Yunfei seized the opportunity and made another exquisite pass. Rossi caught the ball in the penalty area and changed his left foot to rub the shot. The ball perfectly bypassed Reina's ten fingers and flew into the goal!
0: 2!

Liverpool are already two goals behind at home!
At this moment, even the Liverpool fans at home are inevitably a little desperate. Although the singing at home has never stopped and the enthusiasm of the fans in the kop is still hot, the shadow of the team's defeat has gradually invaded the hearts of fans and players.

At this time, the time has gradually come to 70 minutes, and there is not much time left for Liverpool.

Gerrard looked at his teammates silently. He knew in his heart that this cannot go on. If the team loses morale, then there is really no chance for this game!

"Cheer up! This is our home court!" Gerrard clapped his hands hard and shouted loudly, attracting the attention of his teammates, "The game is not over yet, we still have a chance! Now, score a goal first!"

Gerrard tried to boost the morale of the team, but he didn't know if it would work. After all, only goals can really make the players hope!

At this time, Benitez crossed his arms and looked at the field calmly. At this point in the game, tactics are meaningless, and it depends on the performance of the players themselves.Seeing Gerrard's performance, Benitez nodded, this is what the captain should do!
At this moment, he can only pray in his heart that the team can create a miracle and equalize the score, just like they did before!

After falling behind by two goals, Liverpool started a more crazy attack. At this time, Southampton also had to start a deeper defense. The team had already led by two goals. What is needed now is a solid defense and not giving the opponent a chance to score.

At this time, Gerrard stared at Southampton's defense with a pair of eyes, hoping to find a gap, a gap to make a goal!

Time is slowly passing, and Gerrard is becoming more and more anxious. Whether he can score a goal as soon as possible is very important to Liverpool. Southampton can afford it, but they cannot afford it.

At this moment, Gerrard's eyes lit up. Alonso's continuous cooperation with Garcia on the wing created a threat. Unknowingly, it attracted the attention of the entire Southampton defense line. The entire Southampton defense line began to move closer to their right, exposing the left side. This is a rare opportunity for Gerrard!

At the critical moment, Gerrard stretched out his hand anxiously, motioning for Alonso to pass the ball!
To be honest, if it were someone else, at such a tense moment, under the oppression of the opponent's vast number of defensive players, Gerrard's request for the ball might not be seen at all, but Alonso has always maintained focus and concentration. The first time Gerrard stretched out his hand, he was seen by him with excellent vision.Without hesitation, Alonso chose a very risky pass with a low and flat ball!

The ball flew very low and fast, just to get the ball to Gerrard's feet faster, but this pass was easily blocked by the opponent.

But Alonso also knew very well that he could find Gerrard more safely by passing the high ball, but this also gave the opponent time to move the defense line. If that was the case, the meaning of this pass would be lost, so he decisively chose to take the risk!
This time, Alonso's adventure succeeded. When his pass was passed to Gerrard's feet, Southampton's defense had just started to move at this time, which gave Gerrard plenty of time to kick!

Gerrard took the ball two steps forward, kicked and shot!

This is Gerrard's most famous long-range shot, the ball hits the dead corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Davis almost watched the ball fly into the goal without making any saves!
"Gerrard! Gerrard! Liverpool's captain! At the most critical moment, he scored a goal! This goal is very important! There are more than ten minutes left in the game plus overtime, and there is still time left for Liverpool! Now Southampton is in danger!"

Gerrard's long-range shot completely ignited the enthusiasm of the home fans, and the fighting spirit that was about to be extinguished was instantly ignited again. At this moment, everyone from the players to the fans seemed to think of that magical night in Turkey. As long as the game is not over, there is hope for the game!
