Amid the passionate cheers of the Reds, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals began at Anfield.

At the beginning of the game, the Red Army generals immediately increased the pace of the game.

In terms of experience, Liverpool is definitely the advantage, and there are also home benefits and most of the main players will be able to accumulate strength in the future.

Liverpool has no reason to give Donetsk miners more time to get into the game.

Mascherano actually played a single midfielder today.

In front of him are two central defenders, Alonso, Merreles, and Gerrard's attacking midfielder, who can be regarded as front midfielders or shadow strikers.

After Liverpool passed the ball continuously through the triangular offensive system in the midfield, Alonso suddenly passed the ball diagonally to Qin Xiong's feet.

Qin Xiong happened to face Serner today, a full-back favored by many European giants, but he has never been included in the four major leagues.

Qin Xiong stopped the ball in front of Serna, then made a move to dribble in the middle. When Serna followed Qin Xiong's movement tendency, Qin Xiong's foot, which seemed to be going to dribble, buckled back behind him, and turned toward the bottom line steering wheel.

The Red Army fans shouted Qin Xiong's name at the scene. This was Cruyff's famous work, and there were also extraordinary moves called Cruyff's turn.

Serna was shaken and felt extremely pressured. Qin Xiong did not stick the ball on the edge of the penalty area, but passed the ball.

Raul attracted the defensive attention of the two central defenders in the middle of the penalty area. Qin Xiong's cross was passed by half a high ball to the front of the central defender. Gerrard arrived from outside the penalty area with a quick whip. Without stopping the ball, he would volley the flying football!

Just when everyone thought that this goal would definitely be scored, they didn't expect Gerald's shot to hit too well!

Goalkeeper Piatov did not dare to catch it with his hands, but blocked the ball with his palms.

Merelles, who followed up, jumped high and headed the ball in the penalty area, but he was over!

"Just the beginning, Liverpool played the defensive champion's aura. Their two consecutive shots made the Donetsk miners feel huge pressure. The Donetsk miners need to adapt to the pace of Liverpool. If the Premier League giants want to play fast breaks, their skills are unique."

The Donetsk miners were not scared by Liverpool's fast break after the opening. Maybe the situation was indeed dangerous, but at least they quickly calmed down and organized the offensive system patiently.

The careful Donetsk miners don't seem to be planning to play against Liverpool. They have good technical skills and smooth teamwork, but they don't have very novel offensive routines after the attack hits the frontcourt.

In the 7th minute of the game, William dribbled the ball in the middle of the frontcourt, and he couldn't see the route to pass the ball to forward Luis Adriano. He could only do it himself.

When William changed direction and broke through, Mascherano turned around and blocked William horizontally, and at the same time broke the ball under his feet.

Liverpool's defense was successful.

Two minutes later, Liverpool's offense once again threatened.

Baines assisted and Qin Xiong to play a fast and smooth pass and cut off attack on the left.

When Baynes cut to the baseline, he knocked the ball back to Qin Xiong, who passed the ball short to nearby Merreles. The Portuguese immediately gave a straight pass. Qin Xiong rushed over Ishchenko and completed the offside.

When facing the goalkeeper, Qin Xiong kept hitting the ball and shooting directly at the far corner of the goal.

Seeing that the football was about to fly into the far corner of the goal, an unexpected person appeared. The left defender Lat flew behind the goal and raised his leg to block the ball!

The Liverpool fans in the stands who were preparing to celebrate the goal were immediately silent. The cheers came to an abrupt end and then turned into applause.

The Donetsk miners seem to have really put some effort into defense today. When Qin Xiong cut into the penalty area is about to become a reality, the other side's fullback is in the penalty area and is ready to act as a moving wall in front of the goal line to block Qin Xiong's shot.

It is obvious that the Donetsk miners have studied Qin Xiong's shooting habits!

The weak should make up for the shortcomings with a more diligent attitude. It is not accidental that the Donetsk miners were able to enter the Champions League quarter-finals and double-killed Roma in the last round of knockout round.

In the 15th minute of the game, Gerald and Alonso cooperated in the frontcourt. When they stepped forward to the penalty area, Gerald received Alonso's pass and was about to adjust the angle to adjust the angle to the next step. Fernandinho used a sliding tackle to kick the ball under Gerald's feet away, which was a very clean tackle!

The soccer ball that was kicked off rolled to the right.

Qin Xiong just started running in advance and missed the football. The ball rolled over from behind him. After Qin Xiong stopped and turned around, he saw the full-back Serner rushing forward and controlling the ball. Then Serner rushed forward quickly along the side.

The Donetsk miners' previous attacks failed to threaten much, but this time it was coming in full force!

Douglas Costa, William, Judson, and Louis Adriano started to actively run in the frontcourt, looking for a free time and preparing to receive Serner's pass.

Sernah brought the football to the forty yards away from the goal, and Baines came to him to prepare for a head-on battle.

At this time, the Donetsk miners made a beautiful offensive cooperation.

First, William and Judson completed the transfer in the middle and on the wing, which caused Mascherano to be distracted.

Serner passed the ball diagonally to William who was running towards him, and then William made a pass before Mascherano approached and passed it diagonally to the gap in the penalty area!

Douglas Costa runs directly into Liverpool's right rib in the penalty area. Baynes immediately turns around to chase, and Ag also moves quickly to block Costa's route towards the goal.

When Ag and Baines were about to complete the double-team against Costa, Costa suddenly cleverly kicked the ball back, then took a step back, dodging the double-team between Baines and Ag.

At this time, Adriano and Scotter in the penalty area in front of the goal were fighting each other in front of the goal. Costa had two choices, he could shoot himself, and also pass the ball.

Johnson returned to the penalty area to help Scotter double-team Adriano, which made Costa ultimately not choose to pass the ball to Adriano.

His own shooting angle was not very good, and Mascherano was coming to him, so he calmly passed the ball horizontally to the other side of the penalty area.

The Liverpool back line was surprised to watch the football rolling past his eyes in the penalty area.

Looking down the direction of the football rolling, I was shocked to see another Brazilian player appearing in my eyes.

William!

He rushed over without any hesitation and shot the ball into the upper left corner of Liverpool goal!

Reiner had no time to save the game. He just went to block the near corner of the goal where Costa was! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
