As Liverpool's home game gradually improved, it was difficult for Fiorentina to create a threat by means of quick counterattacks.
Liverpool would not give them enough spacious space to carry out a quick impact, and it was naturally difficult for them to find opportunities to play a fierce counterattack.
With Alonso overseeing the middle and backfield to organize and dispatch work, Liverpool took control of the situation step by step and repeatedly attacked Fiorentina's defensive line.
In the 14th minute of the game, Qin Xiong faced Silvestri one-on-one on the left side. He made a feint to dribble into the penalty area in front of the other party. Silvestri immediately fell for it and moved horizontally. But as soon as he moved, Qin Xiong spiked the ball back to the flank, and at the same time, he completed a turn and broke through from Silvestri's side!
At this moment, Silvestri realized that Qin Xiong still had to go through the outside!
He immediately turned to chase, and Qin Xiong crossed the ball into the penalty area after going under the ball. He observed that the defensive midfielder, Zanetti, was still experienced. When he retreated into the penalty area, he blocked the route of his dribbling outside to widen the shooting angle.
It was a smart choice.
Instead of rashly coming to rob.
When the defender, Natali, rushed over, Qin Xiong fell into a situation of being besieged on all sides. He decisively swept the ball across the front of the goal!
Because he saw Torres make a move.
But in the end, the angle was too small. In order to pass the ball over, Qin Xiong's pass in front of the goal was still too close to the goal.
When Torres directly shot the ball towards the goal, Frey was almost in front of Torres.
The football hit Frey's chest and bounced out!
"Fiorentina is in danger in front of the goal again. Frey blocked Torres's shot in front of the goal, but what about next time? What should they do next time? So far, we haven't seen Fiorentina really threaten Liverpool's shot and Liverpool have taken control of the midfield situation. "
It was difficult for Jovetic to survive in the front field. Once Gerard focused on defense, he, Alonso, and Mascherano had terrifying control over the midfield. It would make it difficult for the opponent to survive in the midfield, especially the young players.
In the 18th minute of the game, Gerard retreated and passed the ball diagonally to Kuyt.
Kuyt passed the ball straight to Torres. Torres, who was caught in a tight defense in the middle of the penalty area, did not dare to control the ball. He directly kicked back and passed the ball to Qin Xiong, who cut into the middle.
Qin Xiong had already rushed forward. He dribbled the ball in one go and directly left the 32-year-old Zanetti behind.
In front of Montolivo, Qin Xiong's dribbling rhythm paused and then accelerated to change direction. Montolivo almost had no resistance as Qin Xiong broke through the defensive line and came to the front and back of the penalty area. Qin Xiong and Torres did a wall combination. Torres stuffed the ball diagonally into the penalty area. Qin Xiong rushed past Claudrup's side and took the opportunity to shoot!
He aimed at the far corner of the goal. Frey had rushed to the near corner of the goal to block the shooting angle.
Bang!
Qin Xiong might have pursued the angle too much. His powerful shot eventually hit the outside of the goalpost and bounced off the other side of the sideline!
"Oh my God! Qin Xiong's shot did not go in! It's rare. He has always had a keen nose in front of the goal. This time, Anfield's goalpost rejected him! "
Fiorentina was a little scared after being beaten.
Especially the opponents who marked Qin Xiong. They had been repeatedly broken through by Qin Xiong and had become a little scared. They did not dare to make a move easily, let alone rush to intercept.
As a result, Qin Xiong gained a more relaxed ball control environment.
In the 27th minute of the game, Vargas dribbled the ball to the front and back on the flank. Gilardino could not touch the football in front of the goal due to Carragher's interference. Aurelio controlled the ball at the back of the penalty area.
He looked up to the front. Jovetic was smart. He immediately chased after Alonso and wanted to keep an eye on the Liverpool commander.
But Aurelio was not a rash person. He calmly observed the situation and then passed the ball diagonally to Gerard, who retreated back to support.
Gerard turned and dribbled forward after stopping the ball. After shaking off Bilyaletinov, he dribbled along the middle of the midfield to the front right.
After coming in front of Montolivo, he knocked the ball sideways to the left flank.
There were no Fiorentina players around Qin Xiong. The opponent now wanted to compress the attacking space and not give Qin Xiong a chance to break through with the ball.
Qin Xiong strolled toward the football and looked at Zanetti, who was three meters away, and Silvestri, who had entered the edge of the penalty area on the flank. He secretly said in his heart: Since you're not going to intercept, thank you.
The moment he touched the ball, he gently lifted the ball with the tip of his foot.
Seeing Qin Xiong's movements, Zanetti, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was a little confused. He could not figure out what Qin Xiong was going to do.
It was not until the football began to fall and Qin Xiong's next move came out that Zanetti immediately ran forward with a dignified expression. He knew what Qin Xiong was going to do!
This bastard is going to do a long shot!
And it's a way for him to pick up the ball to make it easier to exert force!
He's simply arrogant!
Boom!
Zanetti had just run a step when Qin Xiong's volley shot was already blasted out!
In front of Zanetti's eyes, there was only the valiant and valiant Qin Xiong with a proud aura as he observed the result of his shot.
In the Anfield stands, all the spectators saw a rainbow suddenly rise at an extremely fast speed!
After the football was volleyed by Qin Xiong, it drew an obvious parabola!
It flew over the heads of all the players below where it flew. At that height, it was impossible for the players to head the ball out of the siege even if they jumped twice as high.
So, the players below acted almost the same. They raised their heads, followed the trajectory of the football, turned around, and continued to stare.
The falling trajectory of the parabola was perfect, and the speed was so fast that it was beyond Frey's reach.
In the end, the football fell into the top right corner of the goal, a dead corner!
The whole stadium was shocked!
The Fiorentina players regretted that they did not engage in close interference with Qin Xiong in order to limit the space. They allowed Qin Xiong to create a volley opportunity so easily, and he really sent the ball into their goal!
Frey could not be blamed for this goal. No one could defend against it!
The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands were in a frenzy.
They waved their fists and screamed Qin Xiong's name.
Once again, it was proven that when a healthy Qin Xiong appeared on the pitch, he could bring enough surprise and joy to the fans!
The Liverpool players pounced on Qin Xiong. Gerard was the first to throw Qin Xiong to the ground. He stared at Qin Xiong in disbelief and laughed exaggeratedly.
Comain waved his fist heavily on the sidelines.
Although Liverpool had the advantage and led in points before, the 0: 0 score was never safe.
In case Fiorentina scored once, it was possible to kill off Liverpool with one attack.
Now, Liverpool scored first. If Fiorentina wanted to advance, they had to score two goals!
