After Bayern Munich restarted the game, there was a disconnect between the team's offensive and defensive systems.
The gap between the offensive and defensive lines was a little too far, allowing Liverpool to completely dominate the midfield.
Originally, Liverpool's midfield control was stronger than Bayern Munich's, so the game became almost one-sided.
Bayern Munich could only use long passes to spur the offense, which greatly reduced their chances of success.
Louis Van Gaal was burning with anxiety in the technical area, but he also knew that this was a psychological reaction caused by Bayern Munich's first goal concede.
Fear!
The defensive players were afraid of conceding again, while the offensive players could not wait to score a goal to equalize the score.
Of course, they had to score!
If they did not score, why did Bayern Munich come to Anfield?!
But the disconnect between the offensive and defensive systems did not help Bayern Munich improve their current predicament.
In the 23rd minute of the game, Gerard, Alonso, and Kuyt played a triangular passing attack. Gerard ran forward to the front of the penalty area, received Alonso's direct pass from behind, and then directly passed the ball to Qin Xiong, who cut inside the penalty area.
Gerard shared the pressure of Qin Xiong's cutting inside, and he attracted van Bommel's defensive attention.
After Qin Xiong stopped the ball, Schweinsteiger immediately came to intercept. Qin Xiong reversed the ball to the right side of his body, dodged Schweinsteiger, and then followed up with a straight pass.
The football rolled diagonally between Van Buyten and Demichelis.
Torres successfully plugged in to reverse the offside position, and when the football rolled to his feet, he did not make any adjustments and directly volleyed!
Bute reacted quickly and made a world-class save, pouncing horizontally to block the ball!
The football, which was blocked outside, rolled towards Gerard, who also did not stop the ball and directly shot a long shot, but the football was too high over the crossbar.
"Liverpool dominated the situation on the pitch. Their offense continued to threaten Bayern Munich's goal. This time, Torres and Gerard both missed the opportunity to score. Bayern Munich must find a way to improve the current situation."
Three minutes later, Ribéry took the initiative to retreat, but he encountered Kuyt and Alonso in the process of advancing forward to attack and passed the ball into the penalty area with difficulty.
It was a half-high ball. As soon as the football flew into the penalty area, Agger stepped forward to clear the ball.
Bayern Munich wanted to cross from the flanks, but the timing and environment of the players on the flanks were not good. This made it difficult for them to achieve the desired effect.
Liverpool's offensive was like a tide.
In the 29th minute of the game, Qin Xiong dribbled the football forward from the left side of the road. He sprinted on the left side, forcing Schweinsteiger and Lahm to form a double-team defense on this side of him.
Qin Xiong knocked the ball behind him just as the two were about to form a double-team.
To Bayern Munich's surprise, Aurelio came up with an assist!
After knocking the ball with his heel, Qin Xiong ran into the gap between Lahm and Schweinsteiger to cut inside, while Aurelio passed the ball diagonally to Gerard's feet in the middle.
Liverpool's positional play this time was smooth and without any sloppiness.
Gerrard sent out an exquisite straight pass before van Bommel got close to him.
The football rolled through the gap between Lahm and van Buyten, which was also the route of Qin Xiong's strong cut inside.
At the same time when the reverse offside was successful, Qin Xiong led the ball forward with his right foot and stepped forward with little strength to directly shake off Bayern Munich's defensive line.
Bute immediately abandoned the goal and rushed out to Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong leisurely passed the ball across the field under the gaze of the entire crowd.
Although Demichelis tried his best to slide to the ground to block, he was still some distance away from the football. He watched the football roll in front of him, and then a little behind the goal, Torres, who rushed over as fast as lightning, shot the ball into the empty goal!
The Anfield crowd was boiling. The Red Army's Liverpool won again!
"Fernando Torres! Liverpool widened their lead again at Anfield!
Liverpool's offensive this time was simply pleasing to the eye. This was the teamwork that Comain talked about!
Qin Xiong spurred the offensive on the left side, Aurelio came forward to support, Gerard's straight pass, Qin Xiong's selfless cross in the penalty area, and Torres's fatal blow!
Liverpool played a dazzling positional play.
Listen to the earth-shattering cheers at Anfield. The Red Army is rushing to the final. Every Liverpool fan firmly believes that they will go to Spain, to the Madrid football temple, to play in the Champions League final at Santiago Bernabéu! "
Torres ran to Qin Xiong after breaking the goal. The two men put their arms around each other's shoulders and then waved to the other teammates together. Everyone hugged together in a circle to show the world the unity of Liverpool!
Perhaps before the season, Qin Xiong's joining of Liverpool gave the team a boost and made Liverpool full of hope and ambition for the season.
But it was not until this moment, after Liverpool defeated many strong opponents, that they hugged together and truly believed that they were the strongest in the world when they were together!
Yes, at this time, no player was thinking about whether they were important or what their ranking was in the world. Everyone was thinking the same thing.
If we stick together, we will be the strongest!
No one can beat us, and we can beat any opponent!
With this same belief, the Liverpool players walked to their own half with a more confident momentum.
They did not look at the Bayern Munich players who were already a little dazed.
Before the game started, the Liverpool players firmly believed that the Red Army would win.
Now they were using practical actions to get what they deserved.
Comain raised his chin slightly on the sidelines. He was not overbearing, but he had a unique arrogance.
After all, he used to be a part of Ajax and was only one step away from the biggest glory of the season.
He was not worried about the Champions League semi-final.
Then there was only one Champions League final left!
If Comain was shaping the team's technical and tactical system and developing the team's confidence this season, then Comain was waiting.
Depending on the outcome of the Champions League final, Comain would decide the content of the team's new spirit that Comain focused on next season.
It was a temperament that Ajax regarded as an innate and unbreakable temperament: arrogance!
The arrogance of a king!
Louis Van Gaal's expression was ugly. The total score was now 6: 3.
If Bayern Munich wanted to make a comeback, it would not be as simple as scoring three goals.
They would have to score four goals!
This would make Bayern Munich even more desperate!
They could not score four goals against Liverpool at the Allianz Arena on their home ground. Why would they have the confidence to do it at Anfield?
Plus, what they needed to urgently improve was not their offense, but their defense.
Who could guarantee that if the game continued, Bayern Munich's rear defensive line would not be beaten into a sieve?
