The ashamed and indignant Montolivo was shown a yellow card by the referee. After this episode, Liverpool tested the goalkeeper, Frey, with a direct free kick.
Qin Xiong's elevator ball dropped rapidly after bypassing the human wall. Unfortunately, the angle was not too tricky. Frey used his fists to block the ball and defused the danger.
The first half of the game ended quickly. Liverpool and Fiorentina walked into the locker room together.
Comain praised the team's performance during the halftime interval and hoped the players would not let their guard down in the second half.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again. Fiorentina retreated and waited for an opportunity to counterattack. However, Liverpool already had a three-goal lead in their hands. Naturally, they would not get carried away and press forward. Gilardino, Vargas, and Jovetic found it difficult to make waves in the counterattack.
Liverpool relied on their strong control in the midfield to constantly create opportunities and continued to test Frey with long shots from the periphery. In the 62nd minute of the game, Alonso assisted in the front field and played a wonderful pass to Qin Xiong in the penalty area. After that, Qin Xiong did not stop the ball after getting rid of Boratti and directly shot the ball into the far corner of the goal!
"Another goal in one go. Liverpool scored the fourth goal!
Gerard and Alonso hit the wall in the front and back of the front field to create an offensive threat. Then Alonso suddenly sent a straight pass close to the ground. Qin Xiong cut in from the left flank of the penalty area and cooperated seamlessly with Alonso. His shot was naturally impeccable. Frey had no way. Even if his arms were 20 centimeters longer, he still couldn't do anything!
Fiorentina is down 0: 4 at home. They have no hope. "
After the goal, Comain began to adjust his tactics. He replaced Alonso with Lucas, Qin Xiong with Riera, and Torres with Babel.
Every five minutes, one substitution spot would be used.
At the 75th minute of the game, Liverpool had already given up.
Even so, Florence, whose morale had collapsed, was unable to make a comeback.
The reason why Liverpool did not follow up their victory to crush Fiorentina was that in the middle of the week, Liverpool would welcome a strong dialogue within the BIG4 Group: a visit to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea!
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, all the Liverpool players stood in the Franchi Stadium or on the sidelines with their heads held high. Everyone applauded and celebrated the hearty victory. At the same time, they encouraged each other.
They were on the right path, on the path of victory!
They had to persevere!
After the game, Comain said in an interview, "Fiorentina caused us some trouble at home. I saw a few Fiorentina players were active and worked hard. But Liverpool's overall performance was the main factor that determined the result of the game. We were able to take the victory because our overall performance was better!
I won't say that Liverpool has advanced to the knockout stages of the Champions League. After all, this is only the second game. We still have four games. Anything can happen. We have to focus on each game. Now, we have to forget this game and calmly face the Premier League this weekend. "
Liverpool embarked on the journey back to the United Kingdom with satisfaction, leaving the Franchi Stadium with a sigh. The Viola di Viola's 0 points after two games cast a shadow over their prospects of advancing.
In the other game in the same group, Lyon defeated Di Bissegni 4: 0 in the away game. After two rounds, Lyon and Liverpool both had 6 points, while Di Bissegni and Fiorentina had 0 points!
Since the start of the new season, Liverpool had won all seven league games and two Champions League games, excluding the EFL Cup defeat and elimination. Could the prairie fire set by the Red Army be extinguished? Fleet Street turned its expectant eyes to Chelsea.
The Daily Mail published a very eye-catching preview of the eighth round of the Premier League: Who will stop the Red Army?!
The article stated that if Liverpool were to win the eighth round of the league, Liverpool would probably establish a considerable advantage in the first half of the league to challenge for their first Premier League title!
Chelsea, who lost in the last round, was already three points behind Liverpool. Strong teams could not afford to lose the game at Stamford Bridge. Otherwise, Chelsea would be a threat.
The Guardian focused on analyzing Liverpool's prospects on a spiritual level: The battle at Stamford Bridge is about the future!
This stage is an important stage for Liverpool to build confidence and a new temperament. A team is often reborn through the victory of the game.
Liverpool, who had not experienced a major test, was going smoothly. Tottenham Hotspur had proven that it could only surrender in the face of the BIG4 and was not a challenging whetstone. But what about Chelsea?
Liverpool's direct competitor in the league would be the biggest test Liverpool had to endure in the new season. Whether they could break through Chelsea's hurdle would set an important juncture for Liverpool's mental and psychological state in the first half of the new season.
.....
Chelsea and Liverpool's game would be played in the last game of the eighth round of the league. Before that, Manchester United was forced to a draw by the Black Cats, Sunderland, at Old Trafford.
Arsenal massacred Blackburn Rovers with 6: 2 at the Emirates Stadium with Fàbregas's stunning performance of four passes and one shot.
When the other games came to an end, Fleet Street and the Premier League fans who were concerned about the top of the table battle turned their attention to Stamford Bridge.
Qin Xiong once again came to West London.
He liked it here, even if it was just sitting on the bus and admiring the bustle here. His mood had not changed since he first came here with Ajax many years ago.
When Liverpool's bus drove into Stamford Bridge, the reporters at Fleet Street captured the scene of the Red Army players getting off the bus.
It had to be said that when Liverpool and Chelsea met, it was a football extravaganza in itself with a gathering of star players.
Both teams had world-renowned valiant generals, so a great battle was inevitable.
Sitting in the away team's locker room at Stamford Bridge, Qin Xiong observed the performance of his teammates. Everyone could not help but look a little dignified.
Fleet Street was right about one thing.
This was Liverpool's first real serious test in the new season!
There had not been an opponent as strong as Chelsea before, and Liverpool were the guests today!
As a result, Liverpool was bound to be full of pressure.
It was like an important game to determine whether they were dragons or worms.
Comain stood in the locker room and calmly waited for the players to change their jerseys.
When everyone was ready to go, Comain said to everyone seriously, "I have full confidence in you. We're going to let every spectator at Stamford Bridge remember our name today: Liverpool! It's too early to talk about the title at this time, but we have to understand that the champion is the strongest. Chelsea wants the title, we want the title too, so we have to prove that we're stronger than them!
Boys, let's beat Chelsea on the green field and let the world see clearly that we're not on the same level as Chelsea. The Red Army, Liverpool, is stronger! "
The Liverpool players echoed in unison and then walked out of the locker room with a surging fighting spirit.
