Chapter 1547 Fifteen Minutes (First Update)

Not just the commentators, but even the fans who knew a bit about football were now considering the question – Liverpool was able to suppress Barcelona and take the lead so quickly... So what level had Liverpool's strength actually reached?

Liverpool quickly let everyone see their terrifying strength.

After conceding the goal, Barcelona's performance was somewhat unstable. They didn't seem to have recovered from the blow of conceding so quickly. Coupled with Liverpool's more rapid attacks, they were caught off guard.

"We are in danger!" In the stands, some Barcelona fans exclaimed.

Barcelona's current situation was so unfavorable that even an ordinary fan could see it, let alone a head coach like Guardiola.

He stood up from his seat and walked to the sidelines, watching the game on the field with a serious expression.

The situation seemed to be exceeding his expectations...

※※※

In the five or six minutes after Liverpool's goal, Liverpool got several more chances to shoot, posing a great threat to Barcelona's goal.

Liverpool stirred up Barcelona's defense, as if it might be completely paralyzed at any moment.

Barcelona's players actually looked like they were "struggling to support themselves" for a while...

Then, in the seventh minute after they conceded the goal.

Liverpool attacked again. This time, Sánchez crossed after breaking through on the wing.

The height of the ball was not high, not the kind of ball that Chen Hero could head.

But it just bypassed the short central defender Mascherano.

The Argentine jumped up but failed to reach the ball.

After bypassing Mascherano, the ball fell, and this height was even less suitable for a header... Perhaps Messi could have headed the ball?

At this time, Chen Hero, who was originally on the edge of the penalty area, suddenly accelerated and rushed in. Piqué was originally waiting in the middle to clear the ball.

Chen Hero suddenly went around him.

Then he stretched a foot before he could clear the ball...

His toe poked the ball.

Then the ball flew into the goal...

Because the distance was too close, and Chen Hero's poke was so sudden, not only Piqué didn't react, but goalkeeper Valdés didn't react either. He didn't even make a save, but turned his head and watched the ball fly into the goal...

Then he looked up, fell backward with a painful expression, and fell directly into the goal.

Less than twenty minutes had passed, and his goal had already been lost twice...

※※※

There was nothing special about this goal, at most it was that Chen Hero's insertion was a bit sudden, and his leg was a bit longer.

But this was the second goal Barcelona had conceded in seven minutes.

Less than twenty minutes into the game, Barcelona was already two goals behind!

This situation had never happened to them before!

And when this situation happened, it meant trouble.

Anfield Stadium resounded with huge cheers again.

The three thousand or so Barcelona fans stared at the stadium in astonishment. This goal was easy to judge, unlike Chen Hero's first goal.

But their expressions were more like they had seen a ghost than when Chen Hero scored his first goal. They couldn't believe that their team had conceded two goals in such a short time!

This was like a bolt from the blue directly hitting their heads.

When had their powerful and invincible Barcelona ever been treated like this?

Because they had never seen it before, when they saw this scene at this moment, their minds were blank, and they didn't know what to do. Then they felt fear, because they found that the opponent in front of them was so terrifying that they trembled.

They were unwilling to admit this, but the more unwilling they were to admit it, the more fear they felt in their hearts.

In the end, they simply didn't know what to do.

They could only stare blankly at the bottom from the high stands.

※※※

After Chen Hero scored this goal, he didn't roar in place. He opened his arms and ran wildly to Sánchez, who gave him the assist, and then hugged him tightly.

Then his teammates rushed up and surrounded them, and then a group of people ran to the corner flag area.

Facing the camera, Chen Hero shouted, "It's—not—over—!!"

"Hero scores twice! Unbelievable, Liverpool is two goals ahead of Barcelona in less than twenty minutes into the game!"

"I just did some statistics, and no team has been able to lead Barcelona by two goals in the first fifteen minutes in the last five seasons. Liverpool has done it!"

"I never expected that this highly anticipated semi-final would turn out like this... Barcelona looks like a newly promoted team, and they have no ability to resist in the face of Liverpool's fierce and powerful attack! Conceding one goal is bad luck, so what about conceding another goal in seven minutes?"

No one could answer the commentator's question.

Guardiola looked very angry at this time, not because his team had conceded two goals, but because his team was completely unable to fight back when facing Liverpool!

He roared loudly at the field.

Unfortunately, in the huge cheers of the Liverpool fans, he was like performing a pantomime. Only rich body movements and exaggerated mouth shapes were seen, but no sound could be heard.

Guardiola quickly realized this, so he stopped, turned around and went back, and began to discuss with the assistant coach what to do next.

Where did Barcelona go wrong?

Guardiola couldn't find it, or rather, he didn't think there was anything wrong. The only problem was that Barcelona was a little flustered after Liverpool scored the first goal, but this was normal... This kind of situation often happened in the games that Barcelona participated in. However, they could always withstand the opponent's next wave of attacks, and then get through it.

Once they got through it, Barcelona would regain control of the ball, and then explode with huge energy, completely defeating those teams that tried to score a second goal!

This is the background of a strong team – a strong team does not mean that it will not encounter difficulties, but that they can overcome difficulties and then be reborn.

But this time... it seems that Liverpool didn't give them a chance to be reborn.

What does it mean to lose two goals?

This question is very serious. Barcelona will have to keep chasing this gap in the next game time. And their defense is still facing Liverpool's attack...

Guardiola felt a headache.

He rarely encountered such a situation...

He can now be sure that this situation has exceeded his expectations, not just seems like it!

※※※

No matter what Guardiola thought, Martin O'Neill was very happy now. After the goal, he couldn't wait to jump out, raise his arms and cheer, celebrating as much as he could. He didn't look like a steady head coach at all, but more like an excited fan.

He was so excited because he saw the hope of completely ending the suspense at home.

It's only fifteen minutes, and Liverpool has scored two goals...

After that, Barcelona will definitely press out to attack. At that time, there will only be more gaps behind them. With Liverpool's ability, with Chen Hero's ability... Thinking of this, O'Neill's mouth was crooked with a smile.

※※※

The most shocked people were the Barcelona players.

When Chen Hero kicked the ball into their goal, they were all stunned.

They didn't expect the game to develop to this point.

When Liverpool was bombing them, although they also felt very dangerous, there was still hope. Many people were still swearing in their hearts: After this period of time is over, see how we deal with you!

Now the vows in their hearts sound like a joke.

They hadn't had time to deal with others, but were dealt with by others.

Fifteen minutes... only fifteen minutes! Their team conceded two goals!

Next, we should attack... but why can't our attack go up?

There must be something wrong, but what exactly is the problem, and where is the problem?

They don't know.

※※※

The game restarts.

Many people think that Liverpool should now retreat to defend, right?

After they scored the first goal, they continued to attack fiercely, certainly because they thought that Barcelona was strong. If they only led by one goal and then retreated, Barcelona would have too many opportunities in the remaining eighty minutes of the game, which would keep the team in a highly tense mood. This was not good for them, because no one knew when the tight string would break?

So they attacked frantically, hoping to score more goals.

Now they have completed the task and are already leading by two goals.

Two goals should be safe enough, right?

Now they can retreat, right?

Barcelona fans also think so. As long as Liverpool retreats, Barcelona can get more space. There are still seventy-five minutes left in the game. With Barcelona's strength, they can always score if they besiege for seventy-five minutes, right?

They don't dare to expect to beat Liverpool away from home now. As long as they can score a goal, and at the same time use a strong attack to suppress Liverpool from attacking and prevent them from continuing to score. A score of 1:2 is also an excellent result for them.

They only lost one goal, and they have an away goal.

In this way, when they return to their home court, they can easily defeat Liverpool.

But soon these people realized that they were thinking too beautifully.

Because they found that Liverpool did not restrain themselves after leading by two goals, they were still attacking!

The attack was as fierce as ever!

Such Liverpool made those Barcelona fans change color.

Could it be... that two goals are not enough to satisfy that group of monsters?!

They remembered what Chen Hero said before the game.

Could it be... that they really want to completely end the suspense of the two-legged semi-final in the first leg?!

This idea made them shudder.
