"England's number one striker! This is the real genius striker!"
"Compared with Owen, Quaresma, Ronaldo, Drogba and Ibrahimovic are all useless!"
"Heskey! He was like a black tank, crushing Sporting Lisbon's penalty area. That weak Portuguese center back couldn't do anything to Heskey!"
"Obviously, Sporting Lisbon has encountered a physical crisis. Their players are not excited enough, and the decline in running ability is obvious to all."
"Liverpool have almost controlled both sides of the pitch over the past period of time."
"If the fight continues like this, 1-0 will definitely not be the final score!"
However, Sporting Lisbon did not allow the script to develop as most fans hoped.
Sporting Lisbon, who are three of the best players in the Portuguese Super League, immediately launched a counterattack after losing the ball.
In the 26th minute, Luo received a feed from Viana and then shot a long shot away.
In the 29th minute, Deng Kai made a flying tackle to complete the frontcourt interception. After receiving the football, Quaresma tried to pass through and hit the goal, but the experienced Hyypia saw through Quaresma's passing routine and moved his feet together.
, blocking the football.
The ball possession changes continuously in a short period of time.
boom!
Hyypia kicked the football forward with his big foot.
Heskey overpowered Fonte and easily got the first spot, and then knocked back and found Smicer who was advancing.
When Smicer was young, he was known as the "Prince of Counterattacks".
Although his running ability has declined significantly with age and frequent injuries, his counterattack thinking is still a treasure that many players cannot learn.
Smicer advanced with the ball and chose a very stupid route, forcing Matthäus and Font to move.
As a result, as soon as the two of them moved, flaws appeared in other locations.
boom!
Smicer made a direct kick.
The football penetrated Sporting Lisbon's defence.
England's striker Owen took advantage of the wind and chased the sun with ridiculous speed.
"Solo attack! Owen has a single attack! This is an excellent opportunity!"
"Schmeichel strikes!"
"Irving made a decisive low shot! The shot is of extremely high quality!"
"The ball went in! Scored twice!"
"Two to zero! This is Owen!"
"Too strong! Liverpool is so strong! Is this the strength of the new Triple Crown winner?"
"The UEFA Cup, the FA Cup, the English League Cup, and after the Premier League gave birth to the first treble of the five major leagues, another cup treble will be born!"
"Excellent players should go to the Premier League to accept challenges! The Premier League is the birthplace of new storms in world football in the future!"
The camera quickly found the players on Sporting Lisbon's defense.
They looked very frustrated, as if they had lost their determination to fight against Liverpool.
The weather is right and Liverpool have plenty of time to prepare for the game.
Due to the favorable location, Liverpool fans turned the Westfalenstadion almost into Anfield.
People and Sporting Lisbon have just defeated UEFA. Liverpool's global popularity and number of fans are dozens of times that of Sporting Lisbon.
Sporting Lisbon takes the lead and wins!
But when the camera swept over Deng Kai, sharp-eyed fans could still see a glimmer of light in Deng Kai's eyes.
In the 32nd minute, when the Liverpool players were still immersed in the joy of scoring a goal, Deng Kai passed the ball from Viana in the middle and passed Smicer with a Marseille spin, and advanced the ball to the top of the penalty area.
.
boom!
Deng Kai passed the ball with a kick, and his murderous intent was revealed.
Unfortunately, Drogba in the penalty area fired an anti-aircraft gun under the interference of Hyypia.
Otherwise, Sporting Lisbon would have gotten a goal back silently.
However, this attack is not completely meaningless. At least Sporting Lisbon's energy has returned a lot.
Quaresma frequently attacked Liverpool's wing and fought with Carragher.
Carragher was once considered a talented player in England. He had the most appearances in England's U21 and under age teams, with a whopping 27 appearances.
He can play almost every position in the midfield and backfield except goalkeeper.
But such comprehensiveness took a toll on his development, so much so that he failed to live up to expectations.
Under the coaching of Houllier, he mainly played as a full-back. His performance last season was only average, but he began to show outstanding performances this season.
His defense and decisiveness are commendable, and coupled with his background in Liverpool's youth training, his and Gerrard's popularity has soared this season, and they are likely to become the stars of the team.
However, facing this rising young Premier League star, Quaresma not only did not fall behind, but even took advantage of him.
Unfortunately, Drogba, Ronaldo, Viana and others failed to grasp the pass sent by Quaresma at this stage, and the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
In the 40th minute, Deng Kai, who was about to pass the ball to Quaresma on the right, suddenly turned his gun and passed the ball to the left.
Luo ran with all his strength and passed the ball back in an inverted triangle after receiving the ball.
Facing Henjos who came in as a replacement, Viana continued to cross the ball to find Deng Kai who was inserted.
boom!
Deng Kai fired directly five meters away from the top of the penalty area.
His attacking options always exceed the expectations of Liverpool players.
This time, with a sudden attack, if there was no obstruction from Smicer, he might be able to score a goal.
However……
"Smicer's defense was very good. He moved in time to block Deng Kai's pass."
"Although Deng Kai is not tall, and his thighs are not thicker than his waist like Carlos, his long-range shooting skills are good. He has made wonderful world waves many times!"
"Hey, why hasn't Smicer stood up yet?"
"When Smicer was blocking, he turned around and the football hit his side waist... Oh, could it be that the force was transmitted to his kidneys? That's very painful..."
"The team doctor came in, and their expressions were not optimistic... Oh, the team doctor indicated that Smicer could not continue the game!"
"Too bad! This is definitely bad news for Liverpool. Smicer plays an important role in Liverpool's offense. If he goes down... Gerrard is warming up and Liverpool are forced to make substitutions!"
"We have introduced it before. The 21-year-old Gerrard is also one of the important rotations of Liverpool's midfield. He has participated in almost all of Liverpool's games this season."
"I don't know what kind of performance Gerrard can perform when he is in danger. If he can withstand the pressure and play a highlight moment, then he is very likely to become another young leader of Liverpool after Owen!"
"We all know that in March this year, the Football Association hired Liverpool legend Kevin Keegan as the coach of the England national team. A month before that, Kevin Keegan had already called up Steven Gerrard to join the England national team.
Helped Gerrard complete the triple jump for the national team!"
"Who said that only Sporting Lisbon has a youth storm? Beckham, Owen, Gerrard, Carragher, England has a large number of talents, and they have also created a youth storm!"
