When Casillas threw the ball, the Liverpool players looked up at the same time to see the trajectory of the football and predict where it would land.
It was thrown to Robben on the right flank!
Benayoun immediately rushed to intercept Robben, while Robben ran closer to the sideline, deliberately widening the distance between him and Benayoun. Then he waited for the football to bounce to the front of him for the second time to get ready to explode.
In front of him was a wide open space.
He unloaded the ball with his left foot and strode forward after the football landed. Peter Pan's face was cold as he burst out with a strong acceleration!
When Robben scurried on the right flank as if he was driving the entire field, the Liverpool fans in the Anfield stands were already on tenterhooks.
When he came to the danger zone of Liverpool's defensive line, there were only four players on Liverpool's defensive line other than the goalkeeper.
Hyypia, Carragher, Riise, and Mascherano.
The others could not run back in time.
And when Robben pushed forward to attack Real Madrid, the four players in the attacking group, including Robben himself, ran like wild horses.
At this time, Riise and Mascherano came together to attack Robben.
Robben wisely chose to pass the ball. He diagonally passed the ball to Raúl, who was running in front.
Raúl stopped the ball in front of the penalty area and faced Hyypia's sideways kick. Carragher was worried that the old Hyypia would be broken through by Raúl, so he could only bite the bullet and help defend.
When Raúl saw Carragher rushing towards him, he was relieved. He diagonally passed the ball to the front left.
After the pass, Raúl felt that as long as his teammates kept up with him, they could break through Liverpool's defensive line and form a one-on-one ball.
It was a great opportunity.
But an unexpected problem appeared.
He did not know if Liverpool had too few defenders running back, or if the two Real Madrid players were too selfless.
Qin Xiong rushed forward from the left side of the middle, while Snede rushed forward along the side.
Both of them had a chance to get Raúl's pass, but Qin Xiong thought that if he rushed forward, he would go in a straight line. Although it was not difficult to change direction, it would slow down his speed, especially if he wanted to shoot. He had to adjust to his right foot to be more confident.
Snede, who was not far away from him, had already cut inside. The Snede cut diagonally into the penalty area. He could completely cross the ball and directly face the goal diagonally, then shoot with his right foot.
Therefore, Qin Xiong gave this opportunity to Snede.
In Qin Xiong's opinion, there was no problem with such a "concession".
But the problem was that Sneijder had the same idea as well.
Snede felt that Qin Xiong was faster. As for which leg he would use to shoot, Snede did not think too much about it.
Almost at the same time, both of them slowed down!
Under Raúl's stunned gaze, Qin Xiong and Snede also looked at each other in surprise. The belated Snede saw the football roll over three meters in front of Qin Xiong and he had to start chasing the ball again.
This chase delayed the opportunity!
The Real Madrid fans could see that Snede and Qin Xiong were giving way to each other, causing this golden opportunity to be missed.
They did not know whether to sigh or applaud at this time.
After Snede took control of the football in the sideline position, Liverpool's rear defensive line was tightly arranged.
The players in the middle and front field returned to their positions.
Snede passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong in the middle. Qin Xiong stopped the ball, turned around, and dodged Alonso's pressing. Then he blasted out a long shot.
The ball was shot with an anti-aircraft gun.
Qin Xiong scratched his head after he landed. It was probably because he was not in the right mood for this attack.
On the way back, Qin Xiong and Snede looked at each other again. Their helpless expressions were reflected in each other's eyes, which finally turned into a wry smile.
The Liverpool people breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon this episode was forgotten.
Liverpool continued to launch a fierce attack. Benítez was at his wit's end on the sidelines.
Moreover, the team was now 2: 3 behind. What else could they do if they did not attack?
Wait to fight back?
Stop kidding.
Real Madrid would not give Liverpool a golden chance to fight back when they were two goals behind.
Would they still attack wildly when they were in the lead?
This was the Champions League semi-final!
This was not a friendly match.
Real Madrid could almost be said to be on the countdown track to the final!
In the 74th minute of the game, Real Madrid made a pass error in the front field. Robben's straight pass to Raúl was intercepted by Mascherano. Liverpool immediately instigated a strong counterattack.
Riise strode up from the left flank to assist. After receiving Alonso's diagonal pass, he and Gerard made a two-versus-one pass in the front field.
After cutting into the end line, Riise faced Ramos's pursuit and he raised his leg to pass.
Ramos was chasing back. In the face of Riise's pass, he subconsciously turned around and used his back to block it. But the speed of the football was obviously faster. When he completed his sideways turn, the football was blocked by his arm.
The football bounced out of the end line. Liverpool immediately raised their hands excitedly to signal that Ramos had committed a handball foul!
Before Ramos could protest, the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the spot in Real Madrid's penalty area.
"Wow, Riise's pass caused Ramos to commit a handball foul. Now Liverpool has a penalty kick! They have a chance to equalize the score! Real Madrid's players are very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, especially Ramos. He almost stuck his face to the referee's face! "
Ramos questioned the referee in an agitated and wild manner.
"Where else can I put my hands? Tell me? Where else can I put them? My arms are not raised. My hands are in front of my body. Do you want me to have no arms and no hands? Why don't you give Liverpool a hundred penalty kicks! "
Seeing that the referee was showing signs of anger, the captain, Raúl, immediately pushed Ramos away. Raúl tried to talk to the referee in a calm way.
Qin Xiong blocked in front of Ramos and told him not to argue with the referee.
Qin Xiong sometimes argued with the referee, but also according to the occasion and the game.
Today's game was obviously not suitable for him to lose control of his emotions and make any gaffe.
Raúl's communication with the referee was fruitless, and the referee showed Ramos a yellow card.
The Liverpool fans watched nervously as Gerard walked to the penalty spot and prepared to take the penalty kick.
When the referee blew the whistle, the focused Gerard began to run. He used a powerful push shot to send the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.
Casillas did not predict the right direction and could only helplessly watch the score be rewritten.
Gerard did not celebrate after the goal. He ran into the goal and ran to the midfield with the ball in his arms.
Liverpool had to race against time to achieve a victory at home!
