The impact of not scoring a penalty kick on Fiorentina is very great. They played well and the pressing of the whole game also made Liverpool very uncomfortable. However, after the penalty kick was lost, the players' running and pressing were down to a higher level, and Liverpool played easily on both offense and defense.

In the eighth minute of the game, Liverpool had always controlled the pace of the game and played slowly, but after midfielder Mascherano got the ball, he found that Fiorentina's defense was a little empty in the middle. He suddenly broke forward at high speed and passed the three players in Fiorentina to the front of the penalty area in succession.

Fiorentina's defense line was originally well divided. Gambellini defended Chen Yu, and Dainelli defended Crouch. The two midfielders were able to block Chen Yu and Crouch at any time, but when Mascherano did this, Dainelli and Pachenza both intercepted Mascherano, but Crouch was vacant.

Mascherano is not the one who came later. He does not have any ball or fire at Liverpool. He has a good sense of passing the ball. Seeing that his opponent wants to double-team him, he immediately passed the ball to Crouch.

Although Crouch is tall, he is a clever striker with very delicate skills. When Mascherano's ball came over, he did not shoot directly, because at the front of the penalty area, there were many defenders and it was difficult to get the opportunity to exert force. If he couldn't play, it was not easy to break through Frey's guard to defend the goal. So he tried to shoot, but dunked the ball and flashed past the Fiorentine defender Gambellini who rushed over from one side. Then he used his other foot to drive the ball into the penalty area.

Fiorentina's defense is not the best in Serie A, but it is definitely one of the best. When the central defender just dropped Chen Yu and went to poker Rookch, other players were already making up for Gambellini's position and would not let Chen Yu's most dangerous point be vacated. At the same time, Donadale came to assist in defense in time for safety. Seeing Gambellini being passed by Crookch, he got stuck in the inside and followed Crookch immediately, not giving him time to shoot.

Crouch did not expect Fiorentina's defense to adjust so quickly. He has time to shoot now, but Donadale also has a great chance to intercept his shot. Crouch was even more afraid to exert force at this time, otherwise he might have been destroyed by Donadale before playing the ball.

Crouch was a little difficult to get off the ball, so he continued to lead the ball. The bottom line was ahead, and he had a direct shot and he didn't have a big chance of scoring.

The most important quality of a forward is decisiveness, otherwise he would not be a good forward. At this time, Crouch had no better choice. He passed the ball, and he had no chance to observe the back and sides at this time, so Crouch decided to shoot.

External instep ejection

This is the unique skill of Brazilian striker Romario. Crouch actually used it. But he is too big and his movements are not as fast as the lone wolf. However, this is enough. Donadale saw Crouch making a move, but he was unable to block it.

However, Fiorentine goalkeeper Frey was very focused. His eyes were staring at Crouch's feet. At the moment Crouch's shot, he accurately rushed out and threw Crouch's extremely threatening shot under his body with both hands.

Fred's save is very important. If the opponent scored the second goal at this time, Fiorentina's game would not be able to play, and there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Frey's save made Fiorentina's morale improve, but Liverpool's form is obviously better. Liverpool's players are more experienced. After leading, they play very patiently and are extremely fierce when counterattacking. Almost every attack in Fiorentina is followed by Liverpool's sharp counterattack, which makes Fiorentina's offense less and less confident and hesitant.

In the 15th minute of the game, Fiorentina formed a crossing opportunity at the baseline. Pasquire's pass found Tony, but Tony was watched tightly by Liverpool's two major central defenders Carragher and Agel. He barely jumped up and could not get the ball well. The ball was directly in the arms of goalkeeper Renner.

Reiner hugged the ball and ran two steps to one side. Without hesitation, he passed the ball long and made his forward line and launched a quick counterattack.

At this moment, almost all Fiorentina players are attacking. If you can find your forward in a long pass, it will pose a great threat. However, it is difficult for the goalkeeper to directly find his forward in a long pass. They drive the ball farther than drive the ball more accurately. Besides, the distance is so far, even if you are specialized in such a living midfielder, it is not necessarily possible to pass accurately, let alone the goalkeeper.

However, Liverpool's luck is really good today. Renner's long pass not only found his forward, but also found Chen Yu directly.

It would be so dangerous that Chen Yu would get the ball at this time. Everyone on earth knew that Fiorentina knew better. Gambellini saw the position and was stuck by Chen Yu. He could not grab the landing point, so he simply grabbed Chen Yu's arm and refused to let Chen Yu take the ball.

When someone grabbed his arm, Chen Yu couldn't use his great skills. He could only smile bitterly and raise his hand to signal Gambellini to commit a foul.

The referee Cantalejo could see clearly this time. He ran over to show Gambellini a yellow card and awarded Liverpool a free kick.

The chance of this free kick is also good, about twenty-seven or eight meters away from the goal. Liverpool has several long-range shot masters, such as Chen Yu, Liser, Alonso and Gerrard, which can all reach the range, but Liser's range is still the farthest, so after discussion, Liser still kicks the ball.

Fiorentine goalkeeper Frey dared not be careless. He arranged a wall of five people to block the ball. He also made the most preparations, waiting for the heavy gun to welcome Riser to hit the goal.

Lisse assisted nearly ten meters and used his left foot to shoot a goal with a speed of 180 kilometers per hour. The ball flew towards the left direction like a shell.

The angle is not that tricky, but it is extremely powerful and the threat is also quite large.

Seeing Liser shooting such a fierce shot, the commentator on the scene couldn't help but exclaim: "It's amazing, it's really a heavy shot. Can Frey block it?"

Frey also took a breath. He had planned to hug the ball, but seeing that the ball was so fast, he gave up on this plan and would rather give the opponent a corner kick and an out-of-bounds ball than take the risk of hugging it.

Frey hit the ball with both fists and tried his best to the sideline. The opponent still had a certain threat in the air. Frey was unwilling to give the opponent a chance to have a corner kick, so he used a lot of power.

However, Frey didn't expect that Liverpool was so determined in the offense. When the free kick was released, two full-backs also assisted. After he hit the ball with both punches to the side, he was actually grabbed by Liverpool full-back Finnan.

There was not a single person around Finnan. He easily stopped the ball, observed his teammate's running position, and passed it across and found Chen Yu at the corner of the penalty area.

Finnan's pass is very comfortable, but Chen Yu has no chance to stop the ball and then shoot. The Fiorentine defensive player is very close to him. As soon as Chen Yu stops the ball, more than two players will come to guard him. Chen Yu's best chance of getting a free kick.

Chen Yuyi was very brave. He leaned forward and raised his abdomen and knees, and thrust hard on the middle and lower part of the falling ball with his outer instep.

The ball flew towards the goal with a strong rotation under the impact of the outside instep.

"Ah Chen shot"

Few people think that Chen Yu would shoot directly because it would be too difficult to shoot like this.

However, goalkeeper Frey is an exception. He has never underestimated Chen Yu. He knows that Chen Yu can score a goal with any incredible means, so after Chen Yu's shot, he immediately reacted and rushed out like a conditioned reflex. Frey wanted to destroy the ball with both fists again, but just as Frey was about to touch the ball with both fists, the ball turned strangely and flew around in front of Frey.
