Burnley also attaches great importance to this game. At the beginning of the game, Burnley did not attack crazily. They knew the gap between themselves and Liverpool. Although they were very eager to win,
But they are not rash either.
Burnley knows that Liverpool are also eager to win the final victory. They are now at a critical moment in the championship. They must ensure victory in every game, otherwise they will be chased by Chelsea behind them.
Come up.
The Burnley people knew that Liverpool would definitely attack, so at their home court, Burnley also adopted a defensive counterattack posture. They first stabilized their unbeaten position and then sought victory.
Liverpool's tactics today are indeed offensive. As soon as they come up, Liverpool will take the lead. Benitez has already thought that Burnley will choose to defend and counterattack, but he still arranges offensive tactics. He believes that Liverpool can kill them in the attack.
Burnley team.
Dutch striker Huntelaar appeared in Liverpool's starting lineup today. Huntelaar's performance in the middle of this week was very poor. This made Huntelaar himself very uncomfortable. He had been holding back his energy.
Son, he must prove himself in this game.
After the game started, Huntelaar was very active and frequently raised his hand to ask for the ball. In less than ten minutes after the game started, Huntelaar completed four shots by himself, and three of them were within the goal frame.
, in very good condition.
This made Burnley fans very nervous and anxious. Liverpool's attack was so fierce that they didn't think they could defend like this. Burnley's head coach frowned when he saw this.
Frowning tightly, the gap in strength between the two sides is really too big.
Sure enough, in the fifteenth minute of the first half, Liverpool's Qiu Ze suddenly grabbed the ball in the midfield and cut off the football from the Burnley team's midfielder. Then he immediately accelerated the ball and rushed towards Burnley.
Enley's penalty area.
Now all the Burnley fans are extremely nervous. At this moment, Qiu Ze faked a shot and passed the ball from the front of the penalty area, sending the football into the Burnley team's penalty area. Huntelaar took advantage of the situation and turned the football towards himself.
As soon as he picked it up, he was directly facing Burnley's goalkeeper.
The Burnley players immediately attacked. Facing the attacking Burnley goalkeeper, Huntelaar was very calm. He pretended to push the ball into the far corner, but then dunked the football in the opposite direction, past Burnley's goalkeeper.
As a goalkeeper, he faced an empty goal, and with just one kick, he let out all his midweek depression.
After scoring the goal, Huntelaar was very excited. He ran wildly at Burnley's home court, running and shouting like a roaring emperor. This scared the Burnley fans at the scene.
Jump, dear, we don’t seem to have such a big grudge against him, right? Why is he so excited?
The Liverpool fans at the scene were very excited. As soon as the goal was scored, they knew that they had basically won the game. The Liverpool fans were relieved and enjoyed the game seriously.
Burnley, on the other hand, is in a low mood because West Ham United won the game that ended a day earlier. Yes, if Burnley cannot win this game, they will lose.
The Enli team will be relegated two rounds ahead of schedule.
Now that Burnley is lagging behind, are they still far away from being relegated? There are only more than 70 minutes! At this time, the Burnley fans all quieted down, and the entire stadium was silent. Their mood was very low, and they were watching helplessly.
Die for your favorite team...
On the long side, Burnley's head coach had no good solution at this time. He just stood there blankly, looking at the stadium sadly. I don't know if he watched this game again because of the look in his eyes.
Very empty.
The commentators on the scene were full of sadness at this time, as if the end of the world had come to Burnley, and there was a sad atmosphere permeating the entire stadium.
At this time, Liverpool also received news, that is, Chelsea led Stoke City 3-0 at their home stadium, Stamford Bridge. The game had only started less than 20 minutes ago, and Chelsea showed off their strength today.
Yes.
This still created some pressure on the Liverpool team. At this time, the Liverpool players could not care about the sadness of the Burnley fans. Now if they do not continue, they may be overthrown by Chelsea.
The Liverpool team continued to attack, attacking like crazy. During this period, Burnley was in a hurry. They wanted to attack, but they couldn't. They were suddenly pushed back by the Liverpool team, and the defense is still full of loopholes.
.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Qiu Ze stole the ball in the midfield and also broke the ball from the Burnley midfielder. After stealing the ball, Qiu Ze did not choose to dribble the ball himself.
It was a sudden pass of the football to the wing.
Liverpool's full-back Gareth Bale rushed forward to catch Qiu Ze's pass, then made a feint past Burnley's full-back and kicked the ball directly on the wing. The football flew rapidly.
Entered the Burnley penalty area.
Liverpool forward Huntelaar rushed in from outside the penalty area, jumped high, and smashed the football into Burnley's goal like a bomber. The ball was very fast, Burnley
The team's goalkeeper didn't react at all, and the football hit the Burnley goal hard.
Two to zero, Liverpool led Burnley with two goals in the 23rd minute of the first half. Both goals were scored by Huntelaar. In this game, Huntelaar scored
The performance was very good, which made Benitez feel very good.
The worries about Fernando Torres' injury have gradually been diluted. If Huntelaar can maintain this state, Benitez will not worry about the following games.
Trailing 0-2, Burnley has basically given up resistance. They know that they are finished in this game, they are finished this season, and they will go to the English Championship next season.
However, at this time, the Burnley fans did not leave. Instead, they stayed. They stayed a little longer and stood in the stands. Their eyes were blurred by tears, but their hearts were not lost.
.
At this time, the Burnley fans collectively sang the Burnley team anthem loudly, very neatly, and very... tragic!
Listening to the songs of the Burnley fans, the Burnley players felt guilty. What good fans they are. Unfortunately, we did not bring them happiness, but gave them so much sadness. This...
In the next game, the Burnley players knew that they had no chance, but they still tried their best to attack and fight. Even if they died, they would die standing.
The reaction of the Burnley players and fans infected the Liverpool fans and players. However, the Liverpool players did not stop their attack because of this. They continued to attack. They believed that this was the best way to deal with Burnley.
The respect of Benli people.
The game continued. Liverpool's attack was very fierce. Now Liverpool has taken the full initiative. Although Burnley worked hard, the gap in strength was still very obvious, leaving them with no choice but to parry.
In the 30th minute of the first half, after Qiu Ze received a pass from Gerrard, he immediately turned around and got rid of Burnley's midfielder, and then started directly 35 meters away from the goal.
With a long shot, the football flew towards Burnley's goal like lightning.
The ball was very fast and unexpected. Everyone watched the football fly towards the top corner of Burnley's goal. Almost everyone thought that the goal was bound to be scored. At this moment, the football
It scraped against the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
The Liverpool fans at the scene collectively erupted into a burst of regret. If this goal had been scored, it would definitely be the best goal in this round of the Premier League. It is a pity that it was just a little bit short.
Even Qiu Ze himself felt it was a pity. The ball was just a little bit close. Qiu Ze clenched his hands and looked up to the sky and sighed. What a pity. What a pity.
Although Liverpool did not score another goal in the first half, their performance in the second half of the first half was still very good, threatening Burnley's goal many times. This was Burnley's goal.
The fans were very unhappy.
During the halftime break, Liverpool's head coach Benitez praised the players' performance. They performed well in the first half. He hoped that the Liverpool players would continue to perform like this in the second half and not make any mistakes.
Of course, the Liverpool players expressed their understanding. The game was not over yet, and of course they could not give up just yet.
The first half of the game on the other side is also over. Chelsea actually led Stoke City 4-0 in the first half. This score is very big. Chelsea seems to be working hard to get a goal difference.
This made Benitez frown.
Isn't it obvious that Chelsea is doing this? He just wants to fight Liverpool in the next round, hoping to kill Liverpool so that they can overtake Liverpool and rank in the Premier League with their goal difference advantage.
Top of the list.
Maybe Chelsea is just trying to win the Premier League championship this season with a goal difference advantage. Benitez frowned, and he also called the Liverpool players to tell them that this game
You must get more goal difference.
This is not to say that Benitez is afraid of Chelsea. This is just for emergencies. It is always good to be more prepared. The Liverpool players all understood what the coach meant. In the second half of the game, Liverpool
The attack did not slow down at all and they continued to attack.
In the fifteenth minute of the second half, Qiu Ze finally scored the first goal of the game. And this goal was very exciting. After stealing the ball in the midfield and frontcourt, he broke through the defense of three people in a row.
, sent the football into Burnley's goal, three to zero.
Liverpool led Burnley 3-0. After the goal, Benitez immediately made substitutions, because they still have the second round of the Champions League to play next week, although they first
They already had a big lead in the round, but their opponent was a Bundesliga giant and they couldn't take it lightly.
