The third goal was slightly later.
-----
Given that Qin Xiong had already felt that there was a difference between the feeling of his shot and the actual effect, his adjustment was actually a stupid method!
Other people pursued the angle of their shots, but that was under normal circumstances.
Qin Xiong simply aimed directly at the middle of the goal this time, and the target in his eyes was Barcelona's goalkeeper, Valdés!
He wanted to aim at Valdés and fire!
He did not use any more technical shooting methods such as rubbing shots, flicking shots, or curling shots.
Qin Xiong used the instep of his foot to blast out a shot!
Boom!
The football flew between Puyol and Piqué like a meteor. The two men immediately looked back. Piqué was instantly relieved because he saw the football flying directly towards Valdés. It looked like Valdés had no problem making a successful save.
His idea of a successful save was to directly hug the ball or hit it out. Based on the strength of Qin Xiong's shot, even if it was hit, the rebound would be huge.
However, Puyol immediately made his next move. He dashed towards the goal.
Because Torres had successfully reversed the offside position!
Whether Qin Xiong's shot was a pass or not, Torres was not offside!
Puyol, who was more experienced, could see that although Qin Xiong's shot went straight towards Valdés, the trajectory of the football was full of uncertainty.
Qin Xiong's shot was too strong, and the football was very likely to have an erratic change.
Puyol's prediction was right!
The thing he was most worried about happened right in front of his eyes. Valdés was still full of confidence to directly hug Qin Xiong's shot.
But after the football flew into the penalty area, it suddenly dropped to the left!
Valdés was caught off guard. He had already lowered his center of gravity to hug the football, but when the football came in front of him, it did not rush into his arms, but hit his knee!
Valdés was stunned for a moment as if he was struck by lightning, and then he reacted.
The football that hit his knee bounced straight out. Valdés was just about to make another save when he saw Torres happen to be in the path of the football's rebound.
Torres's reaction at this time reflected his qualities as a world-class striker.
When he saw the football flying towards him, he immediately lifted his leg to shoot and used the arch of his foot to block the ball back in the direction of the goal.
He didn't use his full strength because he didn't want to kick him away, but he still controlled the angle.
The ball was kicked to the bottom right corner of the goal by him. It was almost the distance from the penalty spot to the goal. No matter how fast Valdés reacted, he could not stop the goal!
Seeing the football enter the goal, Torres frantically rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.
"Liverpool scored a quick goal and they're in the lead again! Not long after Barcelona equalized the score, problems appeared in the rear defensive line.
This time, it was Qin Xiong who was nimble in his counterattack. Oh, no, it was Qin Xiong who was too cunning. After he broke through Keita and stepped into the area where he could shoot, his heavy kick caused Valdés to lose his grip to save the ball. Torres, who was successfully offside, shot the ball into the goal!
2: 1
Liverpool is ahead of Barcelona again. It's obviously more advantageous for Liverpool to be able to take the lead again before the end of the first half. "
Qin Xiong had a smile on his face as he chased after Torres's back. He thought to himself: Sure enough, my perception of today's shot was a little off!
But since he did not pursue a goal from a tricky angle, he would use the simplest way to shoot: A miracle with great power!
Comain's serious expression eased. He clenched his fists and waved them twice, but he still did not smile.
He knew that today's game was very dangerous and full of countless variables.
Because on the field, Barcelona had the strength of the team as a whole and Messi, who could not be predicted with common sense!
Guardiola touched his bald head and sighed dejectedly in his heart.
Sometimes football was like this, especially for the manager who was on the sidelines directing the game.
Perhaps after the result came out, he would feel that if he had let the team stabilize the game and do their best to control the consumption, it would have been safer. Then Liverpool would not have had the chance to score the goal that led again.
But one factor that could never be avoided in a football game was risk!
Riches and honor were found in danger.
If Barcelona's attack had succeeded and Liverpool had fallen behind before the end of the first half, Guardiola would certainly not have sighed and would have thought that everything was normal.
Barcelona's players looked a little upset after losing the goal.
Because Qin Xiong had once again broken through their midfield defense, which was actually the part that they had been trying to improve throughout the first half, but they could not do it.
If it were not for Qin Xiong's many shots in the first half that missed the goal by a hair's breadth, perhaps Barcelona would have fallen even further behind.
Whoever had the midfield would have the world. Barcelona's ability to control the midfield during the attack was the foundation of their oppressive attack that could crush most opponents.
On the other hand, when defending, if their midfield could not contain the opponent's attack, their defensive line would also be in jeopardy. The panic in the first half had proved this point.
Barcelona's players harbored such concerns and looked forward to Guardiola making positive adjustments during the midfield to help the team improve the midfield defense.
The game started again. At this time, Liverpool did their best to devote themselves to the defense.
Because there was not much time left in the first half.
The current score of 2: 1 was slightly in Liverpool's favor. They entered the locker room and made some adjustments. Liverpool was relatively better.
Barcelona continued to pass the ball in the midfield. Looking at Liverpool's impenetrable defense, they dared not rush to attack.
Because they could not guarantee that Liverpool would give up the last minute of the first half to launch an attack, and they were not confident that Qin Xiong would frequently blow them up in the midfield.
At the end of injury stoppage time, Xavi passed the ball to Iniesta. Iniesta could not see the route to pass the ball to his teammates, especially the forward pass route, so he chose to force a long shot.
Iniesta's shot was not up to standard and the football flew directly into the stands, causing the Liverpool fans in the stands of Anfield Stadium to jeer and laugh.
"The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half. Liverpool leads Barcelona by 2: 1. Both teams' performances in the first half can be said to be equal. Both teams were able to create chances to shoot, but they also missed golden opportunities. However, Liverpool, playing at home, can still play a more direct threat with defensive counterattack. In contrast, Barcelona, who has been fighting hard, has a much harder time. I don't know how the two teams will perform in the second half after the midfield adjustment. Let's wait and see."
