"Liverpool equalized the score! Suarez! Suarez, who scored twice, equalized the score for Liverpool!
Liverpool only took 40 minutes to nullify AC Milan's epic victory at San Siro!
This time, Gerard, Baines, and Qin Xiong quickly completed a triangular pass in the front field. Then, Qin Xiong passed the ball across the ground in the penalty area. Suarez outflanked in front of the goal and shot the ball into the goal!
AC Milan may still be dreaming of a defensive counterattack, but their defense was torn apart by Liverpool again and again. It was clear that AC Milan had miscalculated. Probably they thought that Liverpool's performance today would be the same as their performance at San Siro more than half a month ago!
They were wrong, completely wrong!
Liverpool showed AC Milan the strength of the European overlord! "
After AC Milan conceded the second goal, the whole team's players felt their scalps go numb. Some even did not know how to face the game!
A huge panic began to spread throughout the team.
The players had to retreat to the back half of the field to defend.
Comain ordered the team to stabilize for the time being to avoid getting emotional and giving AC Milan an opportunity to take advantage of the rear defensive line.
After all, Robinho, Ibrahimovic, and Shaarawy were all star players with outstanding individual ability.
No one knew whether AC Milan would take advantage of Liverpool's frenzied offense to deal a fatal blow to Liverpool if they were really determined to play defensive counterattack.
The first half of the game ended quickly and the players from both teams walked into the locker room.
At San Siro, AC Milan scored two goals against Liverpool in 90 minutes. At Anfield, Liverpool recovered from their disadvantage in the first half.
Now, Liverpool had a certain advantage. After all, they had the home advantage.
But from another perspective, if AC Milan scored a goal, Liverpool had to overtake their opponent with the total score. Liverpool did not have an away goal!
This was the reason why Comain was so cautious at the end of the first half.
In the locker room, Comain gave a speech. He asked the team to calm down for a while and reformulated the tactics for the second half. He asked the team to focus more on defense. He believed that Liverpool could tear apart AC Milan's defensive line through a long period of positional play, and there was no need to take a greater risk to play a radical offensive.
In the second half, the two teams switched sides and fought again. Liverpool paid more attention to the midfield and possession of the ball. The team played very shrewdly and suddenly sped up after shaping the offensive situation.
This kind of acceleration was either completed by Gerard or Alonso through passing the ball to cooperate with their teammates' positioning, or by Qin Xiong's individual dribbling to break through.
The combination of the two was quite powerful!
In the 54th minute of the game, Baines assisted. After he went down to receive Qin Xiong's pass, Liverpool's attack deepened, which made AC Milan's defensive line have to retreat deeper to allow the space on the defensive waist line to expand appropriately.
At this time, Baines passed the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet. AC Milan's defensive midfielder was no longer on Qin Xiong's cutting line, but diagonally opposite, on his cutting line!
Qin Xiong pretended to raise his leg for a long shot to deter Emmanuel Elson. Then, he crossed the ball and found a suitable position to raise his leg in front of the penalty area. He volleyed out, but he did not expect the football to be blocked out of the end line by Bonella with his shoulder.
Qin Xiong complained to the referee about Bonella's handball. He just complained out of habit, so it was normal for the referee to ignore him.
Liverpool's corner attack was a threat. Gerard's corner kick was headed to the back by Raúl in front of the penalty area. Qin Xiong headed the ball in a scramble with Abate!
Because of the confrontation with Abate, the quality of his header was affected. In the end, the football was directly held by Abbiati.
AC Milan managed to fend off Liverpool's continuous offensive without any mishap.
Suarez immediately stood in front of Abbiati to prevent Abbiati from quickly kicking off and delay AC Milan's attack.
Three minutes later, Shaarawy received Robinho's pass in the front field. Under heavy pressure, he passed the ball diagonally to Ibrahimovic outside the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic used his body to separate Alonso, and then raised his leg to shoot in front of the penalty area.
Because Thiago Silva's position was critical, Ibrahimovic's shot could only pursue an extremely tricky angle. In the end, the football slipped past the goal.
The AC Milan fans who came to the United Kingdom from Italy sighed in the stands.
Many of them were praying that AC Milan could score one goal in this away game!
As long as they could score one goal, then AC Milan's promotion would look much easier.
Liverpool must score two more goals to reverse AC Milan!
In the 67th minute of the game, Liverpool continuously passed the ball horizontally in the front field, causing AC Milan's defensive line to constantly sway as it moved.
Gerard passed the ball diagonally to Raúl.
Raúl pretended to dribble towards the end line on the right side of the front field, but he pulled the ball back after taking a step. When Nocerino came to press, Raúl passed the ball back to Gerard, who did not stop the ball and sent the ball straight into the penalty area.
Suárez moved to the right in the penalty area at this time. As soon as he touched the ball, he was quickly surrounded by AC Milan's defenders and defensive midfielders.
Suárez did not dare to dribble in place. If he moved, he could be immediately intercepted.
He was careful but quickly passed the ball diagonally to the side, where Raúl was unmarked. Antonini and Nocerino went to surround Suárez.
At this time, Raúl suddenly passed the ball on the spot.
The football flew to the back of the penalty area.
AC Milan's defense was overly concentrated on the right side, which was attracted by the cooperation between Raúl, Suárez and Gerard.
When Raúl's pass fell into the back of the penalty area, they turned their heads to look and were stunned to see Qin Xiong rushing into the penalty area. Emmanuel Elsen and Abate were unable to form an interception against Qin Xiong.
Facing the falling football, Qin Xiong rushed forward and used an unconventional technique to shoot.
He jumped up and launched a scissor kick in the air!
It was completely subconscious. In order to reach the football and to exert his strength, he jumped up and bent his right leg to exert his strength. He launched the ball towards the goal with the instep of his foot!
Abbiati rushed to the back of the goal at full speed and pounced out when he saw Qin Xiong shoot.
The football hit Abbiati's arm as it flew quickly towards the goal, but it only caused a slight change in direction.
At the same time that Abbiati landed, the football had already rolled out of the goal.
The ball, of course, went in!
Qin Xiong landed, opened his arms and roared as he rushed to the corner flag.
AC Milan's entire team was a little dejected. Their eyes flashed with a helpless light as they stared at their own goal. Abbiati stood up and shook his head. He kicked the football to the front field.
Ibrahimovic, who had his head lowered, was not sure if he was cursing or swearing. In short, he was chattering non-stop.
Robinho was even more depressed. He stood in place with his hands on his hips, as if he did not want to move.
The Red Army generals rushed to Qin Xiong's side and drowned Qin Xiong in the crowd. They roared and laughed wantonly!
Liverpool's comeback was on!
