When Qin Xiong scored Liverpool's fourth goal, the atmosphere in Anfield reached a new climax!
Qin Xiong had never made a celebratory gesture of sticking out his tongue, but at this moment, he could not help but stick out his tongue and run wildly around the field. He rushed to the front of the substitutes' bench under the excited pursuit of his teammates.
Perhaps Qin Xiong was too excited. He threw himself forward in front of Comain and directly pushed Comain to the ground!
The two of them rolled on the ground. Then, they were surrounded by their teammates and other coaches. Everyone was shouting excitedly.
Gerard, Torres, and the others kept shouting madly, "Beat Barcelona! Beat Barcelona! "
This did not represent how much Liverpool hated Barcelona.
It was because Barcelona was the king of European football last season!
Beat the king and replace it!
This was the dream of many teams!
How many years had this been Liverpool's dream?
Especially on the basis of being able to be the king of their own country!
This was a milestone moment for the king of England to beat the king of Europe!
In the Anfield VIP box, Sylvia hugged Qin Ye and covered her mouth as she smiled. She held Qin Ye's little hand and waved in the direction of Liverpool's technical area, telling Qin Ye that his father was as happy as a child at this time!
"Liverpool has extended their lead again!
OMG！
4: 1, who would have thought that the defending champions would come to Anfield to play out like this?
Barcelona was completely stunned by Liverpool's defensive counterattack!
Gerard played an important role this time, and Torres's crucial pass in the penalty area is also commendable. Qin Xiong scored without any pressure. Now Liverpool not only has the advantage, but they have also put a lot of pressure on the defending champions, Barcelona! "
Guardiola stood on the sidelines and was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The price of going head-to-head with Liverpool was too high!
Yes, it could be said that even if Barcelona fought hard, Liverpool's intensive defense itself was a strategy that tested their patience.
Barcelona may have been wrong from the start.
It would be extremely difficult to break through Liverpool's tight defense with a wide-open and earth-shattering attack.
It would only put the pace of the game into Liverpool's control instead.
Liverpool did not need to keep possession of the ball for a long time, nor did they need complicated coordination. When they needed to accelerate, they could seize the opportunity to switch between offense and defense, and then launch a fatal blow.
Barcelona should have been more patient and let the game go on at a slow pace for a long time. In this way, they could also numb and wear down Liverpool and crush Liverpool's dense defensive line.
However, this was Anfield after all. It was difficult to say whether Barcelona could play 100% or even more in this away game.
Before the game, all the media thought that Barcelona had a certain advantage because they were the visitors first and then the hosts.
But now that Guardiola thought about it, it was more advantageous for Liverpool and put Barcelona in a predicament.
They had the reservedness and pride of a king. They could not put down their pride even in an away game. They always wanted to show off in Anfield. That was the style of a king.
Now, Barcelona showed signs of collapsing.
The mentality of every Barcelona player was changing.
Xavi's brain was working quickly, but it was still difficult to find a clear idea to tear apart Liverpool's defense.
Iniesta was thinking about how to activate Pedro, who had been quiet for a long time.
Pedro was hesitant about whether he should try to dribble more to break through, but he was also worried that he would become a burden to the team and have a negative impact on the team if he lost the ball.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic was full of resentment. Barcelona's technical and tactical system sometimes made him sleepy. The process of creating opportunities was too long and complicated. Perhaps it was a superb technical tactic, but relatively speaking, Zlatan Ibrahimovic preferred to be straightforward.
Messi watched Qin Xiong shine in front of him. He did not feel uncomfortable, but he was very unconvinced. It was not that he despised Liverpool for using defensive counterattack, which seemed to be a slightly spineless tactic to play against Barcelona. But it was undeniable that Qin Xiong got far better chances than Messi.
In other words, if Messi could get more attacking space and face fewer defenders, he would be more arrogant!
He might not even need his teammates to play exquisite coordination with him. He could break through the opponent's defense one by one by himself!
Barcelona was being kicked off the throne at the top of Europe by Liverpool!
Although Liverpool could not be said to be at the top of Europe after defeating Barcelona, after shockingly eliminating Real Madrid, they had established such a huge advantage in the first leg against Barcelona. If Liverpool could successfully eliminate Barcelona, then there was no doubt that Liverpool would present a champion and a king's spirit in front of the world!
Barcelona's players looked at Guardiola in unison to see how Guardiola would adjust.
Guardiola was trying hard to keep calm at this moment.
The most disadvantageous thing for Barcelona today was the absence of two defensive midfielders.
Yaya Touré and Boots were unable to play.
This made Guardiola feel as if he was stretched thin when he deployed his troops in the midfield.
By the next leg, Guardiola believed that they could line up a tougher defensive formation in the midfield.
They had already lost the first leg.
They had lost without any suspense!
Guardiola had to admit this. Until now, he had not thought about how to strengthen the midfield's defense.
Keita alone could not stop Qin Xiong or Gerard.
Should he let Xavi withdraw to defend?
Then who would control Barcelona's offense in the midfield and front field?
Weakening the offense to strengthen the defense, and not letting the full-time defender strengthen the defensive line, this approach would be very inefficient!
They could only pin their hopes on the next leg.
Guardiola looked up at the scoreboard and was very frustrated.
It was not until they were three goals behind that he really recognized the reality and analyzed Barcelona's strengths and weaknesses today.
He helplessly gestured to the field to let the team stand on the ground to control and avoid taking risks as much as possible.
They could not give Liverpool a good chance to fight back.
Barcelona's players could only accept their fate. But looking on the bright side, Barcelona also wanted to see if Liverpool would take the initiative to attack while they had a huge advantage if they withdrew.
If that was the case, maybe Barcelona would get a good opportunity to attack and recover some of their disadvantages.
Unfortunately, Liverpool's tactical execution was very strong and the team's thinking was very unified. After Barcelona withdrew their main area of control by 15 yards, Liverpool still put on a tight defensive posture to face the game.
They were calm and rational.
Seeing this scene, Guardiola really respected Liverpool.
He realized that maybe in the next three years, Liverpool would become Barcelona's biggest enemy to dominate Europe!
