The Dortmund fans in the stands of the Westfalenstadion were still cheering for the team enthusiastically.
In any case, this was the team's first game back in the Champions League after seven years. No matter how the game went, they would pour their enthusiasm into the game and give their most loyal support to their beloved team.
Dortmund's style in the second half was completely different from the first half.
It could be said that the world was turned upside down.
From the hot-blooded fighting spirit at the start of the game to the panicked and helpless in the second half, they could only passively take a beating.
Dortmund belatedly realized that Liverpool had played a big joke on them.
They originally thought that the strength of the European rulers was just so-so. When the European champions really showed their strength, they were beaten dizzy.
In particular, Liverpool still did not go all out against Dortmund, which made Dortmund even more frightened: the opponent's strength was unfathomable!
In the 72nd minute of the second half, Götze's solo breakthrough in the front field was violated by Lucas 40 yards away from the goal.
Dortmund used a set piece to attack and cross to create a killing chance.
Bender took advantage of Skrtel's mistake in the penalty area to break the goal from behind!
Dortmund pulled a goal back!
Klopp applauded the team's goal on the sidelines.
He tried to make the team hold on at the last moment. Perhaps Liverpool thought that victory was in their hands and relaxed a little.
Klopp knew that the team's hope of a comeback was slim, but he was not willing to give up.
However, Liverpool was already very good at playing in such a leading game.
Even if they lost a goal, they would not panic.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Qin Xiong moved to the left flank. After playing with Baines, he cut into the end line and faced Pešek's defense and suddenly crossed with a flowery kick.
Pešek did not react at all. When Qin Xiong's right foot bypassed the back of the support leg and passed the ball to the middle, he realized that he had a chance but was caught off guard.
The football that was passed to the middle was headed towards the goal by Raúl, but it was too close to the goal. Weidenfeller subconsciously hit the ball out with his fist.
The football that rolled out of the penalty area was received by Alonso, who plugged in from behind, and directly sent back to the goal with a volley.
Subotić tried to tackle Alonso's shot but to no avail.
The football flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal!
"Alonso scores with a follow-up shot! Liverpool's powerful offensive once again knocked open Dortmund's goal. It was really unexpected. We had hoped that Dortmund would be able to close the score in the closing stages of the game and revive the suspense of the game.
Who would have thought that Liverpool would give Dortmund another fatal blow? Alonso's goal killed the match! "
Klopp quieted down on the sidelines. This passionate manager finally felt helpless at this moment.
The Dortmund generals were also panting heavily as they stared numbly at the Liverpool generals who were celebrating.
They had lost, completely lost!
The good thing was that they realized the cruelty of the Champions League after returning to it seven years later!
It was not something the Premier League could compare to, even though it was difficult for them to overthrow Bayern Munich.
But compared to the Champions League, the experience of this game's defeat would make them wake up earlier. They still needed to work hard to improve themselves if they wanted to compete in the Champions League and make a difference here.
In the last 10 minutes of the game, Liverpool beat the gong to retreat. Comain continuously used substitutions to waste time. Dortmund's side was also like an arrow at the end of its flight and could not make any waves at the last moment.
When the game was over, the Westfalenstadion was still filled with magnificent singing. Dortmund's respectable and lovely fans were not sad about the team's 1: 4 defeat. They just unswervingly supported their beloved team!
The game was over. Qin Xiong shook hands and hugged the Dortmund players after the game. Götze came to Qin Xiong and asked to exchange jerseys.
Qin Xiong immediately took off his jersey and said to Götze in German, "You did well today. Your technical ability left a deep impression."
Götze was surprised that Qin Xiong could speak German and asked, "You can speak German?"
Qin Xiong exchanged jerseys with him and nodded with a smile. "Yes, after training and games, I learn foreign languages at home to enrich myself. In fact, I just want to be able to travel around the world with my wife and children after I retire in the future without having to find a translator."
This was not an exaggeration. Qin Xiong knew that Sylvia had always played the role of a watchman by his side. He planned to spend more time with his family after he retired.
Because of this, he still learned the languages of these countries even though he did not consider transferring to Germany, Italy, or France. In addition to English and Spanish, he now knew six languages. Next, he was going to learn Portuguese.
Götze wiped the sweat off his face and said to Qin Xiong, "For many years, you have been my idol. Your style on the field is elegant and natural. I have always looked forward to it."
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "Everyone has their own path. You don't have to imitate others. You are already very good at such a young age. Unfortunately, times have changed. If it was many years ago, you could also create a legend like Ajax."
Götze smiled shyly and then hugged Qin Xiong gently. When he turned to leave, Qin Xiong suddenly asked, "Are you interested in coming to Liverpool to play football?"
Götze turned around and was stunned. He immediately shook his head and said, "Not at the moment."
"I'm just asking casually. In fact, I know that the club is interested in you."
Götze was indeed on the list of candidates for the summer transfer, but he was too young. In addition, the team already had Sterling. The club could not guarantee Götze enough playing time, so Götze would definitely not transfer. Even if he did, it might not be a good thing for his development. So, he might as well not ask for a rebuff and negotiate with Dortmund.
But it could not be ruled out that Liverpool would really make a move on Götze in the transfer market in the next two or three years.
Qin Xiong put Götze's jersey on his shoulder and walked to the players' tunnel. Suarez walked with him. Suarez said to Qin Xiong, "I really hope we can play to the final in one go."
Qin Xiong could see that Suarez was very excited.
After all, he had been hungry for too long!
In the first half of this year, he could only watch his teammates gallop in the Champions League. As a bystander, he must have been rubbing his hands in anticipation. Today was his first Champions League game on behalf of Liverpool. It was already a very good result to be able to score a goal.
Qin Xiong laughed and said to him, "No, no, no, I really hope to play to the final in one go and then pick up the championship trophy!"
Suarez also laughed loudly when he heard that. He nodded and said, "Yes, to win the championship in one go! That's the best. Why can't time go faster?! "
