Chapter 618: The Unparalleled Attack

Benitez, sitting in the coaching bench of the visiting team, soon felt something was wrong. Leiden East launched an attack at home as expected, but Leiden East's attack just now both full-backs were over halfway through the game, and even Lucio rushed forward, leaving only Hypia and Marklele in the backcourt to be responsible for defense - this method is not like the first game of two rounds, it is simply a storm-like attack after falling behind two goals!

"Aren't he afraid of losing the ball at home?" Benitez couldn't help but stand up and walked forward two steps, then sat cross-legged on the side of the court and began to think. His behavior was soon caught by the camera. Looking at this fat man who seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the sidelines, the fans of Leiden Oriental were almost smirking, and the fans of Liverpool felt extremely embarrassed...

However, Benitez didn't care about this. He was thinking about Xiao Ming's intention to arrange this tactic - it's no big deal to attack at home. In two rounds, the importance of home advantage is known as a coach. But because of this, conceding goals at home is something that all coaches should try their best to avoid - the rule of calculating away goals has brought countless charms to the elimination in two rounds, and it also brought countless troubles to the head coaches.

But Leiden East attacked so fiercely, not as if she was afraid that Liverpool would score away goals at home - why?

Just as Benitez was thinking, Leiden East's offense became more and more powerful. Van Nie and Ronaldo made two consecutive shots. Liverpool was not to be outdone. Bellamy's long-distance running showed his speed to the fullest. Unfortunately, the final shot missed the baseline. Then Alonso also made a long shot 30 meters away from the goal. The ball was intercepted by Lucio with his body.

"Continue the attack!" Xiao Ming stood up and waved his hand vigorously. Benitez glanced at him and fell into deep thought again.

After a continuous attack, in the 16th minute, Leiden East forced a corner kick, Pirlo took a corner kick, and Gerald beat Carragher in the penalty area and headed the ball!

Renner made a wonderful save, blocking Gerald's close attack with one hand, and Finnan immediately cleared the ball with his feet.

This nearly scored a goal caused a sigh from the fans of Leiden Oriental in the stands, and Gerald also hugged his head with both hands, regretting that the ball did not score.

Liverpool is still his favorite team deep down, but now he has become a complete Leiden Oriental.

Crouch used a long shot from the right side of the penalty area to retaliate. Gao Lao is in good condition this season. He still got a chance to shoot under Marklele's defense just now.

"Sami, entangle that guy!" Jaskranen yelled at his compatriots. Hepia is also a tall and thin player, and he is not lacking in flexibility. Using him to deal with Crouch is a little bit inferior in height, but it is still a good choice.

Leiden Oriental immediately launched a counterattack. This series of back and forth attacks made the gaps in both sides' backcourts begin to increase. However, Leiden Oriental players who are already preparing to use this style of play do not raise their eyebrows at all when they are in danger in the backcourt. On the contrary, Liverpool players are a little overwhelmed.

On one side, he is determined to fight against each other, while on the other side, he is hesitant. It is naturally self-evident who can benefit.

Ronaldo quickly broke through from the wing, and Liser desperately chased him behind him. However, although the Norwegian full-back had excellent long-range shooting ability and a strong defense, he was not particularly outstanding in speed. Ronaldo dribbled the ball and rushed in front, and Liser ran desperately from behind and could not shorten the distance with the opponent.

Aurerio, who has transferred from Valencia, came up. Otherwise, why do the head coach like to use his direct line? Now there are two former Valencia players on the court - Brazilian full-back Aurerio and Mari midfielder Sissoko.

Without having to get involved with the opponent, Ronaldo stopped urgently and immediately passed the ball out, and then continued to step forward. Ronaldo received the ball in the middle and raised his foot to make a move to get one with Ronaldo. After attracting Agre's attention to the wing, he dunked the ball back and passed it in a very concealed way!

Fanny took advantage of the situation and inserted into the penalty area, blocking Liverpool captain Carragher behind him, killing him alone!

Carragher's constant interference behind him did not affect the shot of the King of the Small Boundary Zone. He calmly took a step forward, and then directly pushed the shot from the far corner against Reina who was attacking!

The ball accurately bypassed Renner's hand, then hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the goal!

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Luther Van Nystruey! His 23rd goal in various games this season! Although his playing time has decreased significantly compared to last season, Van Ny is still the number one shooter in Leiden East! It was his shot that broke the deadlock for Leiden East again, Leiden East led 1-0 at home!"

Fanny ran over with his arms wide open and hugged Ronaldo, who assisted him. Then Ronaldo also ran over. Leiden's trident hugged each other, and the cheers in the stands resounded through the sky!

Amid the sighs of Liverpool fans, Benitez did not seem too depressed. He just shook his head, then stood up from the lawn, and sat back.

"Will they recycle it or continue to attack..." Benitez decided to look at it for a while, and then adjust the countermeasures based on the situation on the field.

This idea is normal. Benitez is also a head coach who makes up his mind and then moves. He did not look at the two-round game in different ways, but as a whole - for two-round game, a goal is really nothing, there is a chance to win back - this game is not good, and there is still the next game, so there is no need to rush to draw a conclusion.

In fact, Xiao Ming was quite clear about Benitez's idea - although Benitez was not a head coach who won the Champions League because of the existence of Leiden East and Xiao Ming, he would not change. He is a coach who is good at playing cup games. His focus is not on one game, but on two games as a whole. So he will not make changes easily before understanding Leiden East's tactics and Xiao Ming's ideas, and Xiao Ming asked him to think so.

Soon, Benitez saw what Xiao Ming was thinking from Leiden East's subsequent performance.

After taking the lead, Leiden East did not regain it, but pressed in the midfield. When Liverpool's attack failed to threaten Leiden East's goal, Leiden East continued to launch a fierce attack.

"Do you want to score a goal with us? Xiao, you are such a brave person." A trace of enlightenment flashed in Benitez's eyes. After turning his head to look at Xiao Ming, he walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly, and then made a few gestures, allowing Liverpool to increase the intensity of the offense.

"Strange, why didn't he let the team recycle and then hit us with a quick counterattack? Crouch and Bellamy, this is a good partner for counterattacking." McDonald said in confusion.

"Does he dare to do this?" Xiao Ming smiled: "If they retract the counterattack, then we will watch them keep fighting back? At that time, we only need to watch a few points of their counterattack to kill, interfere with Alonso's long pass, let the defender defend Crouch closely, and cut off the connection between him and Bellamy. Then Liverpool has no room for a counterattack! And if we suppress it, it will be difficult to press it out again. Benitez's judgment this time is very accurate."

The next game made the commentators excited. Both sides launched a large-scale attack without any conservativeness. Often, the attack on this side had just stopped, and the attack on the other side immediately came over, like a wave, which had just swept Liverpool's half and immediately began to rage in Leiden East's half.

In this round-trip attack, the most test was the goalkeepers on both sides. Although Jasqueline was still performing steadily as always, Reina, the third goalkeeper of the Spanish national team, also performed quite wonderfully. Ronaldo's close-range shot was subconsciously blocked by him with his feet, and Gerald's powerful long shot was also almost pushed out of the crossbar by his fingertips.

Compared with Leiden Oriental, Liverpool's luck is much better. They did not attack more times than Leiden Oriental, and their threatening shots were not as good as Leiden Oriental. However, when the game was tug-of-war to reach the 37th minute, Liverpool scored a goal.

Finan, who assisted in the frontcourt, broke through to the bottom line under the cover of Kuyt, and then passed a high-quality cross. Although Hypia had tried her best to jump, she still did not jump high. Crouch, who beat Hypia at the back point, pushed the ball towards the far corner of Leiden East's goal. Although Jass Kleinen made a save, she was still one step slower!

Benitez breathed a sigh of relief, and Liverpool fans jumped up in excitement - whether to equalize the score or second, how big a chance can you get in two rounds of the game by scoring a goal away!

"Liverpool equalized the score in the tug-of-war...Leedon Oriental's luck is not very good. They should have more opportunities than Liverpool, but the score is now 1-1... At Leiden Oriental's home court, Liverpool scored a away goal, which puts them in a favorable position. Next, Leiden Oriental must strengthen its offense and score as many goals as possible to recover the losses, but will this allow Liverpool to gain more opportunities?"

Most commentators think this way. After all, according to common sense, this goal was indeed a heavy blow to Leiden Oriental.

However, the players of Leiden East were not greatly affected, thanks to Xiao Ming's explanation before the game - this way of playing is inevitable, the key is not how many goals you will lose, but how many goals you can score.

So five minutes later, the cheers of Leiden Oriental fans once again drown the entire Oriental Stadium.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Shooting in the agile penalty area! Although his figure has become fatter and fatter during this period, his deterrent power on the field has not decreased! Look at this shot, how sharp the ability to capture fighter planes in front of the goal! Agel was just a little late and failed to clear the ball in time, so he was grabbed by Ronaldo! Leiden Oriental led again at home! Only five minutes before Liverpool scored a goal!"

Xiao Mingchao gave a thumbs up high on the court, with an extremely confident expression on his face, and reflected Ronaldo, who was laughing happily on the court.

Seeing their appearance, the fans of Leiden Oriental in the stands suddenly felt extremely confident in their minds. Even if they were two to one, they were not a big advantage.

"The first half is over... This is really a wonderful first half! Both sides are playing offensive football. Leiden Oriental's offense is as passionate as ever, and Liverpool, who plays away, is not conservative. However, although it is leading, this score is not very beneficial to Leiden Oriental. It is 2-1 at home. If the score is maintained until the end of the game, it is not a good result. Often, the team that gets such a score in the first game is easily eliminated by the opponent. Benitez's Liverpool is also good at this... but there are still 45 minutes left before the end of the game, let's wait and see."

During the halftime break, Xiao Ming did not say anything else, but emphasized that he should continue to strengthen the offense in the second half. No matter what the situation on the court, he should try to score more goals. The two goals in the first half made Xiao Ming feel that his team's goal luck today was pretty good. There should be no unlucky situation where he shot around the opponent but could not score in a miserable way. If he really encountered this situation, it would be said that Xiao Ming was in trouble.

In the visiting team's locker room, Benitez was considering whether Xiao Ming would change tactics in the second half - Xiao Ming should not be so crazy, after all, this is a Champions League game, and he should not do anything too risky.

Thinking of this, Benitez made a more secure arrangement, and after the second half began, his eyes almost popped out and burst his lenses.

After the kick-off in the second half, Leiden Oriental immediately rushed into Liverpool's half and launched a more fierce attack!

"This bastard crazy!" Benitez couldn't help but curse in his heart.

However, his curse could not solve Liverpool's passiveness on the court. Liverpool, who was not very mentally prepared for this, was beaten up by Leiden Oriental at the beginning and almost killed on the spot.

In this game, Leiden East sent a double center. Only Ronaldo was attacking on the wing. He often went to the middle to grab points and joined in the fun, but Leiden East's offensive ability did not decline - that was because Cole and Daniel, the two full-backs who had strong assist skills, basically gave up defense and kept inserting the attack.

The second half started in just three minutes.

Ashley Cole, who had assisted, drifted past Kuyt and Finnan from the left, then spiked the ball suddenly after pretending to make a cross, and broke into Liverpool's penalty area like a loach!

Although Cole, who was a forward, has not played as a forward for a long time, his skills and speed are enough to turn the opponent's defense line upside down!

Just when Carragher rushed to block Cole, Cole had already skillfully passed the ball to the back point. Reina, who blocked the front point, turned around and saw Ronaldo blocking Aurelio behind him, then volleyed his right foot!

Reina, who had just turned around, didn't even have time to react, and the ball was already roaring into the net!

"Three to one! Leiden Oriental's offense was like a storm, making Liverpool's defense line riddled! It's so amazing. Leiden Oriental's frontcourt tridents each scored one goal, helping Leiden Oriental lead Liverpool three to one! This is already a very huge advantage!"

Benitez slapped the lawn and then shouted loudly from the sidelines.

"Occurrence! Offense! Let these guys know how powerful Liverpool's offensive ability is!"

After shouting this, Benitez, who was a little out of control, pulled his tie hard and then sat down.

"This guy is a little impatient." MacDonald said strangely. In his impression, Benitez should be a very calm head coach, and most of the time he seems to be a little too calm, and this situation is rarely seen.

"A person who is used to taking all the situations into his own hands and who is often able to control them will often lose his calmness after discovering that the situation has completely lost its control." Xiao Ming smiled: "If they are given some time to calm down, they will make the right judgment."

Then he added: "It's a pity that I won't give him this opportunity."

As time passed by minute by minute, the cheers of the fans of Leiden Oriental became louder and louder. In the tug-of-war between them, Leiden Oriental became more and more braver in the battle, and directly made Liverpool's defense line into a sieve.

Fourth! Fifth!

In the 57th minute, Pirlo made a single pass in the midfield. Ronaldo shook Renner with his pendulum dance step and then scored the ball into the empty goal!

In the 71st minute, Pirlo boldly stepped forward, and made a series of exquisite two-pass and one-on-one cooperation with Gerald and Fanny, and then scored a beautiful spoon goal at the front of the penalty area, humiliating the Spanish goalkeeper again!

It was not until the score became five to one that Leiden East slowed down the pace of attack and began to slowly consume with the opponent.

Although Riser scored a world wave 30 meters away from the left in the 87th minute, he still couldn't save Liverpool's disadvantage.

The result of the 2-5 loss made Liverpool's prospects at home become extremely dim. Leiden Oriental proved that their offensive ability was still unparalleled, while Liverpool was very unlucky to become a victim of Leiden Oriental's offensive ability.
Chapter completed!
