Chapter 622 The start of the finals

Al Ain's head coach had a pained look on his face. He couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw Li Qing on the other side looking towards the court while warming up with a relaxed smile on his face, as if watching a play.

By now, the head coach of Al Ain is very clear about Liverpool's tactics, which is to use a pressing defense to exploit the shortcomings of your players, continue to apply pressure, consume a lot of the players' physical strength on the field, and then wait for opportunities to launch an attack.

There is no doubt that under this kind of high-powered oppression and high-tech confrontation, if Al Ain's players want to break through Liverpool players and defend Liverpool's offense, they must make more runs and efforts than in normal games. physical strength.

It's ridiculous that before the game, he allowed his players to talk nonsense, saying that he wanted to teach Liverpool a lesson. As a result, the current situation on the field not only allowed Liverpool to teach themselves a good lesson, but also made the Al Ain players on the field understand what true meaning is. A strong team!

The head coach of Al Ain was annoyed. The situation on the field had changed. Liverpool intercepted the ball in the midfield and handed it to the wing. Shaqiri took full advantage of his speed and made a quick cross.

Before the game, Shiotani, who had promised to freeze Li Qing, was easily deceived by Shaqiri with a fake move, and then he could only watch his opponent walk away.

Shiotani, who was already out of breath, looked at Shaqiri who was running with the ball in despair, his eyes full of disbelief.

Isn't this guy Li Qing's substitute? Could it be said that Liverpool's main players and substitutes are both of the same strength? Is Li Qing as powerful as the guy in front of him who easily got rid of him?

But Shiotani no longer had an answer to this question, because Shaqiri, who was behind the ball, observed the running route of his teammates and passed the ball without hesitation.

Captain Henderson in the center had already reached his position, easily squeezing the Al Ain player who was defending him behind him, and then met the ball with a long shot. The ball hit the dead center of the Al Ain goal, Liverpool 1:0 Al Ain. Ain.

"Yes!" Henderson pumped his fist hard and then quickly ran towards Shaqiri who assisted him. Liverpool players on the field gathered happily.

But the fans in the stadium stands were completely silent. Most of the people watching the game were UAE fans. Seeing their team being scored so easily by their opponents, everyone had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The Liverpool fans, on the other hand, sang and danced happily, singing the team anthem and waving everything they could to celebrate the team's goal.

The senior officials of the Football Association and Liverpool who came to watch the game were also overjoyed. Although they knew that a goal would come sooner or later, they still couldn't help but applaud happily when the goal came.

In comparison, Liverpool head coach Klopp seemed much calmer. Apart from lightly pumping his fist after the team scored, his eyes were fixed on Li Qing who was doing warm-up exercises on the sidelines at other times.

Li Qing looked indifferent. A team like Al Ain, which was obviously inferior to Liverpool, had only scored its first goal now. The Liverpool players on the field were either slacking off or playing tricks on their opponents.

Obviously, the Liverpool team on the field belongs to the latter. After a period of testing, the Liverpool players on the field fully understood the opponent's offensive routine and personal strength.

When their opponents were clearly inferior to themselves, the Liverpool players, who were already ahead of their opponents, became a little wasteful.

The Al Ain players, who were in a lagging position, obviously did not want to surrender in front of 40,000 spectators.

So when the Al Ain players on the field noticed that the Liverpool players were slack, they started their offensive routine.

Shaqiri's long shot was not powerful. The ball was caught by the opponent's goalkeeper, and then he kicked it directly. Al Ain's players won the ball in the frontcourt, but Liverpool just attacked and had no time to return to defense. .

This is the best time to fight back!

Al Ain midfielder Doumbia received the ball and quickly passed it to Kaio on the wing. Kaio took advantage of the fact that the Liverpool defender did not come back, immediately stepped in, and then directly kicked off the pass.

Forward Marcus Berry ran towards Qiu. At this moment, he ran faster than usual. He used his ability to smell in front of the goal to grab the point, and then hit a powerful lion's head.

The ball flew towards Liverpool's goal. Alisson had already made a forward lunge action, and at the same time, his body reflexively stretched out his hand, and accidentally flicked the flying ball, causing the ball to spin and smash. On the beam.

Van Dijk ran to the goal line with all his strength and kicked the ball out of the sideline. There was a sigh of relief in the stadium stands.

What are you doing!

Klopp stamped his feet angrily and shouted several times into the pitch. He could see the slackness of the players on the pitch. He was just a little bit close just now. If it weren't for Alisson's magical move at the end, Van Dijk desperately retreated. Al Ain definitely scored this goal!

Li Qing smiled and gave a thumbs up to Van Dijk and Alisson. Henderson and Milner on the field felt their faces burning when they saw it.

"Jordan, you must quickly expand your advantage, otherwise if you continue playing like this, we will really be tied. We will definitely suffer disaster when we go back!"

Henderson shuddered when he heard Milner's words, and immediately clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "Get serious and cheer up. If your opponent really wants to score a goal, don't you feel embarrassed?"

When the Liverpool players heard what the captain said, they were all a little ashamed. The goal just now was indeed dangerous. The coach had already shouted to the court, obviously very dissatisfied with their performance.

But as time went by, the Al Ain team seemed to have found its own rhythm and began to exert force on the court. Their frontcourt offensive combination continued to use defensive counterattack opportunities to frequently put pressure on Liverpool's goal.

Although the score did not change in the subsequent games, anyone with a discerning eye could see from the situation on the field that the Al Ain team could play a decent offense and might really be able to score Liverpool's goal.

If the score can eventually be equalized and postponed to the final penalty shootout, Al Ain might actually be able to overthrow the European champions Liverpool.

After all, in the previous three games, Al Ain had two games, both of which went to overtime with their opponents, and the winner was decided by penalty kicks. They have an absolute psychological advantage in this regard.

As a result, the fans on the field began to become excited. Tens of thousands of fans turned the entire stadium into a sea of ​​roars, constantly creating what they considered to be a useful impact on the Liverpool players on the field.

Seeing that the situation still failed to open up after the start of the second half, Klopp became a little angry and walked towards the fourth official on the sidelines.

And his action made the hearts of countless people at the scene tremble.
