There is a dream called football

Chapter 192

Chapter 192

In the locker room, Benitez does not need to give any encouragement to these players. What he needs to do is actually very simple, tell them the truth.

"Score as much as possible in the first 15 minutes of the second half, then be patient and try to score another goal."

"Shoot more, even if the chances seem slim, give me more shots."

"Yes, head!"

These 15 minutes are too difficult for Anfield fans, as long as 150 minutes.

Liverpool has created too many miracles, but this time...

Even the fans in the KOP stand don't quite believe that they can perform miracles this time.

When the players ran out, the fans still applauded.

Liverpool players gathered in a circle, encouraging each other, it was a make-or-break game, Liverpool had nothing to lose.

Suddenly Li Qiao said: "I had a dream last night. We will reach the final against AC Milan. In the end we will defeat Milan. This is known as the Miracle of Istanbul in history."

Risen wondered, "Why the miracle of Istanbul?"

"Because next year's Champions League final will be in Istanbul, Turkey."

"So that's the case."

Hypia patted Lise, "Your brain is really strange, shouldn't you ask why you have such a strange dream?"

Riise laughed and said, "You're not surprised, Li Qiao is here to encourage us, is it possible that he still expects us to lose?"

"Hahaha."

"Everyone stop arguing, I believe in miracles." Gerrard laughed.

In the second half, Olympiacos completely copied the Greek national team's set, and played a defensive counterattack thoroughly, and it was even sharper, because there were two Brazilians in front of them, especially Rivaldo. His monster often made Liverpool's defensive players at a loss.

However, the turning point came faster and earlier than Benitez expected. Only 2 minutes after the opening of the second half, Li Qiao made a strong pass from the side, and the ball missed the two defensive players in the middle like a ghost.

At the back point, Kewell was also shaken. He instinctively touched the ball with his left foot, but the ball stopped big.

The Greek goalkeeper Nikolidis made a quick attack, and it was the one with the gray hair, that was him.

Kewell was a little scared, the ball might cause serious injuries, because the striker usually suffers from a collision with the goalkeeper.

But Kewell's spirit as a professional overcame his fear, and he knew he had no choice, so he tiptoed before the goalkeeper.

The ball flew high towards the goal, and Kewell collided heavily with the opposing goalkeeper.

The ball slowly rolled into the goal, but the Liverpool players had no time to rejoice. Kewell had already fallen to the ground, and the opponent's goalkeeper was rolling on the ground with his head covered. Everything did not look so optimistic.

While Benitez dispatched the team doctor, he immediately asked Garcia to warm up, and a substitution might be necessary.

"How are you, Harry?" Gerald asked concerned.

"Probably can't hold on."

"So serious." Barosh looked a little surprised.

The teammates are all in a bad mood, Cisse has been absent for a long time, and no one wants to make a big deal out of anyone.

After a brief diagnosis, the team doctor greeted Benitez and said he was going to be replaced.

Benitez also quickly submitted a substitution application, and Garcia was about to play.

The audience chanted "Harry."

"Harry."

"Harry."

……

……

Then comes the song You'll Never Walk Alone.

Kewell on the stretcher burst into tears. He didn't want to leave the field, but there was no way. Benitez patted him. Kewell needed to leave the field and go to the hospital for further examination.

1 to 1.

For Olympiacos, they are still winners, of course, if the score is finally maintained until the end of the game.

However, the score of 1 to 1 has always been the most unsafe, so Olympiacos is actually a lot nervous at this time.

Of course, the coach hopes to score another one and turn the score into 2 to 1, which will solve the problem, but that would require a risk.

And another unfavorable factor in the second half was that Rivaldo couldn't get up anymore, and his physical fitness became the bottleneck of the Brazilian. He basically took a walk on the court.

Seeing that his opponent was about to run, Benitez was as excited as a Spanish bull. He had already seen the dawn of victory, and it seemed that it was almost there.

It's just a layer of window paper, but this goal has not come for a long time, which is also very helpless.

Finally, Benitez made a substitution, replaced by high center Neil, and replaced a full-back.

Li Qiao judged the situation and hit the penalty area after the high center forward came on the field, because Baros can actually be used as a center forward. Although it was not close, Baros scored a lot of goals with his header when he was in the Czech team.

With 80 minutes to go, Olympiacos' defense finally collapsed and Neil settled the battle head-on, smashing the ball into the far corner.

2:1.

The whole Anfield suddenly boiled, like an earthquake, and Benitez could feel the ground shaking.

The Liverpool players all piled up in a pile, like a fortress of victory, and they cheered heartily.

"We did it."

"We really did."

And Olympiacos was dead. They led 6 out of 5 group games. I thought Liverpool would be dead this time, and it was their turn to advance to the Champions League knockout rounds, but I didn't expect Liverpool to be so tenacious.

The head coach of Olympiacos started to make substitutions after a brief disappointment. First, Rivaldo was replaced, and then all available strikers were put on the line. Now it is the turn of Olympiacos to score a goal.

But Liverpool played very experienced, the midfielder turned to pass control, and Alonso controlled the rhythm of the game very well, neither fast nor slow. This kind of rhythm is very uncomfortable for the opponent.

Want to grab the ball, want to speed up the pace, but the time is passing in a slow pace. What's worse is that in the 90 minutes of the second half of the game, Olympiacos' backcourt was wide open because of a large bet.

3:1.

Anfield shook again, and this time Benitez was completely released. Because of stability, Liverpool finally achieved a major reversal.

The head coach of Olympiacos can only swallow the bitterness in his stomach. He lost, and lost completely.

The Olympiacos players on the pitch were like roosters who had lost their fight. They didn't have as much luck as the Greek national team.

Liverpool is not Lisbon, and finally when the referee blew the final whistle, the Liverpool team knelt down to celebrate.

At the moment they feel like they have won the Champions League.
