"Liverpool's captain, Gerard, equalized the score with a penalty kick. Although the score was equalized, the 3: 3 score was obviously not enough to make Liverpool happy. Real Madrid has three away goals. If they can't win the game, Liverpool's trip to the Bernabéu will be fraught with grim possibilities."
In order to win the game at the last minute, Liverpool tried their best to speed up the pace of the game, trying to force Real Madrid into a mess in the game's collapse and chaotic pace.
In the 79th minute of the game, Gerard sent a ball straight to the left flank's end line in the front field. Ramos was bound to restrain himself in defense because he already had a yellow card, which reduced a lot of pressure for Benayoun to confront him.
Benayoun passed a half-way high ball and Torres rushed to the front, but Pepe took the lead to destroy the football.
Pepe kicked the ball out of the penalty area with the arch of his foot. Diarra, who was about to take control of the ball, did not expect Riise to rush out from behind. He fiercely took control of the ball and shot a shot at the goal from outside the penalty area.
Unfortunately, Riise's shot deviated from the goal.
Liverpool launched a defensive tactic of encirclement in the whole game, not giving Real Madrid any chance to control the pace of the game.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Guti was entangled with Kuyt in the midfield. He failed to protect the ball and was kicked away by Gerard, who returned to defend.
Alonso, who followed up, did not stop the ball and launched a long pass attack. The football fell to the feet of Torres in front of the penalty area.
The moment Torres stopped the ball, he knocked the ball to the left side of his body and completed a horizontal escape. He dodged the pincer attack of Pepe and Diarra. Just when he thought he would be one-on-one with Cannavaro, Heinz assisted in the defense and used a fierce slide tackle to force Torres to make a dribble change direction. Cannavaro then seized the opportunity and successfully stole the ball!
The pace of the game was indeed too fast.
It was too much for the eyes to take in.
After Cannavaro intercepted the ball, he passed it to Ramos on the right flank, who passed it straight to the front and sent the ball to Robben's feet.
Robben once again dribbled the ball on the right flank and rushed forward.
Liverpool's main area of encirclement was in the middle of the midfield, which was beyond their reach for the defense on the flanks.
Robben dribbled the football forward rapidly. Before and after he came to the danger zone, Robben observed the situation in the middle.
In this attack, Qin Xiong ran forward along the left side of the middle road. Mascherano followed him like a shadow. Alonso was shaken off by Qin Xiong.
Liverpool's defensive line was a little closer to the front because they had to keep the whole game surrounded. After all, the encirclement required the three lines to be closely integrated and a certain distance between the teammates. Otherwise, the encirclement effect would not be achieved and it would be easier for the opponent to break through one by one.
At this moment, Liverpool's defensive line had not retreated to the front of the penalty area. Hyypia and Carragher exchanged glances for a moment. They wanted to create an offside trap.
Obviously, it was unwise to keep retreating, because retreating was always passive.
If they wanted to retreat, they might have to turn around. It was too risky to move parallel to defend and observe.
When Robben passed the ball to the middle, Carragher, Hyypia, Arbeloa, and Riise stopped at the same time and took a step forward.
They directly left Raúl, who was preparing to run in the opposite direction of the offside, in the offside trap!
There were two advantages to doing so.
First, they could form a big encirclement on Qin Xiong!
Second, they did not have to worry about Raúl's opposite direction of the offside!
Qin Xiong ran horizontally to the front of the penalty area to receive Robben's pass in the middle zone.
During the run, he glanced at Raúl. Raúl stood in place and wanted to run in the opposite direction of the offside. As long as Qin Xiong sent a straight pass, he could go alone.
However, Raúl also noticed that he was standing in the offside trap. If he retreated and ran forward at this time, it would seem that he would miss the opportunity.
He noticed that Qin Xiong stared at him with eyes that seemed to contain a message.
Countless thoughts flashed through Raúl's mind, but in the end, he could vaguely understand that Qin Xiong knew that he was in the offside trap!
But to Raúl's surprise, the moment Qin Xiong touched the ball, he actually used his right foot to kick the ball straight to Raúl's area!
Raúl did not move. He wanted to turn around and follow the trajectory of the ball to form a one-on-one ball, but he knew that would only be judged as offside.
In a flash, he watched the ball roll towards him. Raúl also saw that Qin Xiong's next move after the pass was to lean forward and sprint forward!
Was he going to play a two-versus-one combination?
No!
Raúl instantly understood. He began to walk back and avoided the rolling path of the football.
Liverpool's defensive line collectively raised their hands to signal that Raúl was offside.
But Raúl was like an outsider. He did not look at the football and slowly walked back.
He was two meters away from the football and walked in the opposite direction!
Liverpool's defenders seemed to be waiting for the referee to rule that Raúl was offside, and then they would get a chance to take a set piece.
But the referee did not whistle for a long time, and the assistant referee did not raise the flag.
Instead, Hyypia and Carragher both felt a gust of wind sweep past them!
Qin Xiong, who was as wild as a tiger, rushed past the two men. No, he broke through the entire defensive line and ran in a small semicircle to regain control of the football that he kicked out!
All the Liverpool players seemed to have woken up from a dream. It was a nightmare!
No!
No!
No, no, no!
Damn it, it shouldn't be like this!
It should be the assistant referee who raised the flag to signal that Raúl was offside, and then give us a set piece!
How could they ignore Raúl?
How could they?!
Reina's belated decision to leave the goal gave Qin Xiong a better angle to shoot. Qin Xiong controlled the ball and adjusted in the penalty area. Then, diagonally facing the goal, he used the outer instep of his right foot to rub an inside curveball.
Reina, who left the goal, lost the defense of the far corner of the goal. He could only watch the football draw a half-moon slash and hang in the far corner of the goal!
The Liverpool players were outraged after witnessing Qin Xiong's goal. The defenders all ran to the assistant referee to reason, and Gerard also ran to the referee to protest!
"That's a f * * king offside goal! It's a hundred percent offside! "
Both the assistant referee and the referee ignored him and put on a ruthless posture.
The Liverpool players protested to the referee, while the Real Madrid players clustered around Qin Xiong to celebrate wildly.
The bustling stands in Anfield were noisy. Many Liverpool fans booed in support of the team's protest against the referee.
"Real Madrid scored another goal! They're in the lead again!
If you look at the goal simply, it was Qin Xiong who used the ball to break through Liverpool's entire defensive line!
But the Liverpool players felt wronged. They thought that Qin Xiong passed the ball to Raúl, who was in an offside position. Of course, it was undeniable that Raúl did not touch the ball, nor did he show any signs of participating in the attack. When the football rolled towards him, he seemed to not see the football and walked in the opposite direction.
But the Liverpool players apparently let down their guard, which gave Qin Xiong a chance to complete the single-handedly break through the goal.
In any case, the referee will not change the effective penalty for the goal. The score is now 3: 4, and Liverpool is trailing Real Madrid in Anfield.
There's less time for the game. "
