Liverpool fans were in a frenzy. If they could win the second round of the group stage, Liverpool would have won both games and topped the table with six points.

A perfect start will also pave the way for winning first place in the group.

If they can become the first in the group, they can avoid meeting the strong teams in other groups too early in the knockout draw.

The remaining few minutes of the first half ended and both sides returned to the locker room.

Shakhtar Donetsk seemed helpless and caught in a dilemma. They were already two goals behind, but if they fought against Liverpool head-on, they were worried that they would suffer a more miserable death.

In all the commentary rooms, commentators also began to analyze the current situation for the fans.

"I think Shakhtar Donetsk should have played against Liverpool in the second half," said Coach Zhang.

"There is actually no difference between losing two and losing three. If we can equalize the score after the counterattack, Shakhtar Donetsk will get a point, which will at least increase our chances of qualifying from the group."

Coach James also agreed. Of course, the fans in the live broadcast room would rather see offensive confrontation. Only exciting offensive confrontation can truly show the charm of football.

Liverpool dressing room.

"This is the best first half I've seen you play so far this season!" Klopp was excited.

"There is aggression, there is transition speed, and there is sharp counterattack."

"In the second half, we will change our tactics according to Shakhtar's tactics. If they start to press forward, we will increase the number of straight passes and use our speed to attack behind them."

"If they still play defensive counterattacks or high pressure, then we will still do the same as in the first half, break through the flanks and combine the two wings."

The biggest difference between two-wing flying and flank breakthrough is that in the two-wing flying tactic, the two full-backs need to frequently join in the attack.

Through large-scale long passes, faster ball speed and longer arc, the team can dispatch the wingers and tear apart the opponent's defense.

Compared with flank breakthroughs, the two-wing flying tactic has a larger range and is more flexible in tearing and dispatching.

Klopp's flank breakthroughs focus more on small-scale team cooperation, looking for shooting space through local conduction, wall cooperation and frequent two-on-one and two-on-two passes.

Lin Chen was a little excited, he was thinking about a hat trick.

I have already scored two goals and there are still 45 minutes left in the second half. It would be a lie to say that I don't want to complete a hat trick. After all, this will be the first hat trick in my career.

"Lin, do more knife-like runs with me in the second half."

"As long as the people are there, my ball will definitely be there." Firmino hugged Lin Chen and returned to the field. It was obvious that he wanted to help Lin Chen complete a hat trick.

Lin Chen patted Firmino's butt to express his gratitude. Since he joined the team, Firmino was the first guy to offer help to him and tried hard to become friends with him.

Lin Chen understood that his ability to integrate into the Liverpool team so quickly was inseparable from Firmino's help.

After the game resumed in the second half, Shakhtar Donetsk began to press forward and played more aggressively than in the first half.

"The miners are right to do this. If they take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, maybe they will get more opportunities."

"From the formation on the field, Fred has been following Lin Chen closely since the start of the second half."

Fred has turned into a dog-skin plaster, with only Lin Chen in his eyes.

The 53th minute of the game.

Lin Chen retreated quickly and was about to meet the challenge when Fred arrived immediately behind him.

He reached out and pushed gently, trying to disrupt Lin Chen's balance.

"referee!"

"He grabbed me!"

Lin Chen complained loudly to the referee, and Fred immediately pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.

But before he could react, the next second...

Lin Chen, who was still complaining, suddenly burst out and started, shaking off Fred and running out of space!
