Bellamy's speed has always been one of Liverpool's weapons. He attacked the ball so quickly. Whether Dainelli goes back to chase or full-back Uyfaluci comes to make up for defense, it is useless. At most, it is to put some pressure on Bellamy psychologically. At this time, what Fiorentina can count on is goalkeeper Frey.

Frey is an excited player who likes to attack. When he sees Bellamy breaking into the penalty area, he attacks decisively and slams the ball under Bellamy's feet.

Bellamy's skills are not very good, but his characteristic is that he dares to play. He doesn't have much idea when facing the goal. Seeing the goalkeeper attacking, he raised his foot and rolled the ball and shot it at the far corner of the goal.

Frey was ready to shoot directly with Bellamy, but the distance was too close. Before Frey's body completely fell down, the ball flew into the net from under him.

Liverpool took the lead less than five minutes into the opening game.

Liverpool's game was mainly based on defensive counterattacks. No one expected that they would score faster than away goals, which was beyond the expectations of Liverpool fans. However, the cheers rang out in time. At the beginning, the applause was a little sparse, but in an instant it became overwhelming and resounded throughout the game.

The live commentator was extremely excited, "Ah, I scored, I really scored, and I got ahead less than five minutes into the game, and they made another step from the semi-finals. This is really an unimaginable start. The game has become more difficult for the Fiorentines. Before Bellamy scored this goal, they only needed to score one goal to advance. Now, they have to score two goals, which may not be impossible for Fiorentines, but it is not easy for them to defend Liverpool's counterattack when they complete two goals. Today, Fiorentine ships are a combination of two extremely fast forwards, Chen Yu and Bellamy. Once they get a chance, the pressure on Fiorentine's defense will be too great."

This goal almost secured a place for Liverpool to advance. Liverpool's players were extremely excited and rushed over to hug Chen Yu and Bellamy. This was the two of them who led the goal. It can be said that Chen Yu's contribution would be half. If other players were replaced, whether it was Crouch or Kuyt, Fiorentina would never let two players defend, and Bellamy would not get the opportunity to break through alone.

However, Liverpool's chance to get this offense is thanks to midfielder Alonso. Without his accurate long pass, there would be no goal behind him.

Plandley, who was standing on the sidelines, was helpless. Although the distance between the midfield and the back line was a bit large, Fiorentina was a complete defense line. But he didn't expect that Chen Yu and Bellamy's two swords were so sharp that they actually tore open the defense line.

Although Plandley complained that both central defenders were heading for Chen Yu, this was understandable. After all, Chen Yu's ability is far superior to Bellamy, and he is not something that a player can defend at all. It is normal for two defenders to double-team him. The mistake may be that Bellamy didn't expect that Bellamy was so fast that the full-back could not make up for it.

A man as rigorous as Benitez also showed a bright smile on his face when he saw the goal so quickly. He hugged the substitutes who rushed out one by one, and also ordered the assistant coach, saying: "It's not the time to relax, the game has just begun."

The assistant coaches even claimed that they knew that it was not that good to score so early, because the opponent would definitely counterattack desperately, so Liverpool would be under a lot of pressure. If the opponent equalized the score early, it would be very troublesome later, so Liverpool must continue to work hard and strive to score more goals.

The score on the field has changed, but this has no effect on Fiorentina's tactical style. Today they stepped on Anfield with the idea of ​​attack. Now Bellamy's goal has only strengthened their determination to attack.

After the game started again, Fiorentina indeed accelerated the speed and range of pressing, and almost didn't even give them the time for the four Liverpool defenders to fall down, and they were determined to steal the ball at their feet.

Facing Fiorentina's playing style that completely ignores physical energy consumption, Liverpool has no good way. They are not Barcelona, ​​nor are they Arsenal, and they do not have such good ability to pass and catch the ball. If their opponents press in this way, they can only drive the ball out with big feet and let their teammates in the frontcourt attack.

Now Fiorentina's morale is consistent, and all three lines are pressing forward. Now there is no need for two central defenders to guard Chen Yu. Just need the back midfielder to attack Chen Yu. Although Bellamy only has Gambelini defended him, Gambelini is experienced and he does not give Bellamy the space to get the ball, just stick to him tightly. Once Bellamy runs out of the space, they will use tactical fouls, or retreat and double-team Bellamy with his teammates, so that Bellamy's speed advantage cannot be used.

Fiorentina pushed Liverpool's formation a bit flat, and used three tight positions in the backcourt to watch over Liverpool's two strikers, making it difficult for Liverpool to fight back, but they also have their own disadvantages in playing like this, that is, they lack space for passing cooperation.

Liverpool is not Arsenal, a team like Barcelona that can lead the line between the square inches, and Fiorentina is also not. They also make mistakes when facing Liverpool's dense defensive players at the front of the penalty area. The ball often makes mistakes if it doesn't pass three times, and is even snatched by the opponent. However, Liverpool is too flat due to its suppression of the formation and cannot fight back. Passing forward is either intercepted or makes mistakes by itself. Therefore, there is no big threat to the attacks of both sides. The ball is basically in Liverpool's halftime and you snatch me, but you can't form a shot.

Liverpool likes this kind of melee in the midfield. Now they have the initiative and time is on their side. As long as they spend 90 minutes, they can advance to the semi-finals. And they also have superstars like Chen Yu. Although Chen Yu is also losing the ball now, once Chen Yu flashes his inspiration, he may have the fate of Fiorentina.

With the initiative, Chen Yu, the killing star, is here. Liverpool has been having a lot of fun in the chaos and has no idea of ​​breaking the chaotic situation in front of him. He just wants to continue to consume it like this.

Naturally, Fiorentina is unwilling to fight attrition with Liverpool. They are already too far behind now. If they want to advance, they must score goals as soon as possible to equalize the score to have hope of winning. If time is delayed until the second half, they will basically have no chance.

Plandelli also understood that it was difficult to create a good offensive opportunity in such a situation. They had to make changes. Of course, it was too early to substitute. Plandelli immediately made tactical adjustments, gave up the midfield pass and organization, and directly let the players pass the ball to Tony who was almost in the Liverpool penalty area, allowing Tony to shoot or ferry to his teammates.

Plandelli's move is very smart. During the melee, half of the goal depends on the player's inspiration, and the other half depends on luck. Plandelli lets the player not organize in the midfield but directly hit the ball to the closest place to the goal. If you play for a long time, you will have great hope of scoring unless your luck is really bad.

In the 9th minute of the game, Montolivo passed the ball. In the crowd, Tony hardly had to jump up. He slammed his toes and threw a header towards the back corner of the goal.

Although Tony is on the penalty area line, the header angle is very tricky and he shakes his head, causing considerable trouble for Liverpool goalkeeper Renner. Renner flew to save, and his body almost stretched to the extreme before barely blocking the ball out of the baseline.

The next corner kick Liverpool defended very well and did not give Fiorentina any chance. However, after the second landing point of the ball was grabbed by Fiorentina's midfielder Levilani, Levilani did not make it immediately. He is the midfield commander and has the power to act cheaply. After getting the ball, he broke through to the wing and attracted the defense. After he directly hit the other side with a big foot to find his teammate Pasquiel.

Levitrani's idea is very clear, which is to open up Liverpool's middle and create a chance to shoot both on the wing and on the middle.

Although Pasquire did not go to the bottom, his footwork was the best in the entire Fiorentina team. On the outside of the penalty area, Pasquire used a pass with a strong arc to pass into the penalty area, allowing his players to rush to the top.

Pasquire's pass spin so much that Liverpool players didn't even dare to clear the ball, for fear of creating an own goal. Now they are more focused on Liverpool players and not let them compete for the top spot.

With Liverpool players disturbing their defense, Fiorentina players did not compete to reach the ball, and the ball flew directly out of bounds.

The ball rights returned to Liverpool again. Liverpool was still scared of the attack just now. When they served the ball outside the boundary, they tried their best to delay the rhythm of the game, passed the ball to the midfield, and then returned from the midfield to the defender and goalkeeper Frey. At the same time, the formation was also retreating, luring the opponent out, and then launching a quick counterattack.

At this time, Fiorentina players must be forced to go up, because they need time and cannot let Liverpool play in the backcourt. With Liverpool's urination, if they don't have to go forward, Liverpool players can play in full play.

Liverpool was waiting for the Fiorentine players to come up. Seeing that the Fiorentine players were over, goalkeeper Reina decisively divided the ball to Liser. Liser directly passed the ball to counterattack and found Chen Yu in the middle.

At this moment, only Gambelini was beside Chen Yu, and he went to press Liverpool players in front of the midfielder. Before he came back, Lisse's long pass came over.

Stop the ball or ferry?

In the short moment when the ball flew over, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Yu's mind. In the end, he chose to stop the ball because he was very familiar with his current teammates and the original teammates. Knowing that he was ferrying the ball, Dainelli would never let Bellamy use his speed to break through him. It was even more unsatisfactory to expect Bellamy to cooperate with him. Bellamy was not Crouch or Gerald. He was not that delicate, so Chen Yu felt that it was better to stop the ball by himself. If Dainelli made a foul, it would be good to have a free kick, which could not only delay time, but also get the opportunity to talk to Frey alone.

Chen Yu stopped the ball in his chest and was about to pick the ball and turn around, passing his former teammate Dainelli.

When Dainelli saw Chen Yu trying to pick the ball, he knew that he could not stop it. He immediately pushed hard from behind Chen Yu. Chen Yu staggered forward. He did not try to stabilize his body, but turned directly to the front.
