Chapter 318: A Clash of Two Superstars!
"Sunshine! Goal!! Beautiful! A gorgeous shot, beautiful!!!"

"Sunshine has given Liverpool the lead again! The score is 1-2! Liverpool have scored two away goals! Juventus are in trouble! Juventus are in big trouble!"

Sky Sports commentator Kolo shouted.

"This goal is crucial! Liverpool are leading away from home and have secured two away goals, which is a huge advantage for them. The rest of the match will be very difficult for Juventus because we all know that Liverpool are very good at playing counter-attacking football. Even if Juventus manages to score again, they will find it hard to withstand Liverpool's counter-attacks. This match is heading towards a high score, but this is definitely not good for Juventus because this is their home ground! Juventus' previous attacking advantage has probably been largely negated by this goal!"

"That's what the commentator next to him said."

In fact it is.

After seeing the sunlight send the football into the opponent's goal.

Center-back Matip was truly relieved.

Because compared to Van Dijk.

Matip seems like a relatively easy target to break through.

Therefore, Juventus' attack was specifically targeting him.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Dybala, and Mandzukic took turns attacking him.

Matip certainly felt a lot of pressure facing these attackers.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was scored from his side.

therefore.

Ronaldo seemed to have gotten a taste of success after that, and he would always try to challenge him whenever he got the ball.

That was one of the best attackers of this era.

Mattip Alexander.

it's good now.

As the sun shines on the goal.

The pressure was completely released.

Matip suddenly jumped up.

He opened his arms and ran towards the court.

As he passed by Ronaldo.

The wind from the passing by made Ronaldo's hair sway like weeds.

Cristiano Ronaldo stood there, stunned.

Matip showed no reaction whatsoever to the excited man.

Matip's excitement was just a microcosm of the feelings of the entire Liverpool team at that moment.

The other Liverpool players were also quite excited.

They rushed towards the sunlight.

The sunshine has repeatedly pulled the team out of crises.

He led the team from one victory to another time and time again.

He has long been the core and spiritual pillar of the team.

After Ronaldo equalized the score.

Juventus, playing at home, are in high spirits.

They have a strong momentum to press their advantage and overtake the score.

结果
With a single goal, Sunshine put the opponent's momentum to a halt.

"Great! Great! Well done!"

Wow! Awesome! (Chinese version)

"Awesome! Awesome! Awesome 1"

"I fucking love you to death!"

Liverpool players basked in the sunshine, celebrating passionately in the corner flag area.

at the same time.

The players on the bench rushed over and joined in the celebration.

The away stands at Juventus' Allianz Stadium.

The cheers of Liverpool fans resounded throughout the stadium.

"Juventus actually performed quite well in this match. After Ronaldo scored, they threatened Liverpool's goal repeatedly, but Sunshine took advantage of a counter-attack opportunity and scored again. That's where Sunshine's value lies."

Kolo sighed.

The television screen played the entire process of Sunshine's goal over and over again.

Allegri frowned on the sidelines.

He himself was somewhat desperate, let alone the Juventus players on the field.

Their own goals seemed incredibly difficult.

For the opponent, scoring a goal is as easy as eating or drinking.

In such a contrast.

The Juventus players are about to lose their composure.

It's a feeling of utter helplessness and despair.

Once this feeling arises...

That's enough to destroy a team's confidence.

Allegri frowned. He knew his team was in grave danger, but how could he turn things around?
Anyway
Allegri himself has no solution for the time being.

Just now.

The television broadcast gave Ronaldo a close-up shot.

The Portuguese player placed the ball at the kickoff point.

"Cristiano Ronaldo! He hasn't given up yet! Juventus hasn't given up yet! There's still time in the game! There's plenty of time left!!!"

In the commentary box.

The Italian commentator shouted.

The home team fans in the stadium seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

They gritted their teeth.

They shouted.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo!"

The atmosphere suddenly became heated.

Klopp looked towards the stands in surprise.

He turned to his assistant and said, "Looks like the competition isn't over yet!"

on the field.

The sunshine has ended its celebration and is returning to its own half.

He also heard the shouts from the stands.

A slight smile appeared on his lips.

Such an opponent.
That's what makes it interesting!

He clapped his hands and roared at his players, "The game isn't over yet! The game isn't over! We need to keep attacking! Keep scoring!!"

After the game restarted.

Liverpool, having regained the lead, continued their attack under the leadership of Suns.

although.

Encouraged by the fans at the scene.

Juventus' morale has not collapsed after conceding a goal.

But they faced Liverpool's relentless attack.

They could only temporarily avoid direct confrontation.

The sixtieth minute of the match.

Sunshine received a long pass from the backfield inside the penalty area and headed the ball to Salah.

Salah received the ball inside the penalty area, cut past Chiellini, and curled a left-footed shot!

Buffon saved the ball!
The match ended in the 62nd minute.

Yang Guang retreated to the outside of the penalty area to receive the ball and then took a long-range shot.

Buffon made another save, tipping the ball over the crossbar!

Another corner kick.

Three minutes later.

Mane takes a shot inside the penalty area.

This time, Chiellini blocked it out of bounds.

It's still a corner kick.

Just a few minutes.

Liverpool's corner kick count has increased.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! The corner kick suddenly went huge!"

"Liverpool are launching an attack!"

"I feel like a goal is coming!"

Liverpool's corner kick attacks are very threatening.

Because they have players who are very good at heading.

Needless to say, there's sunshine.

Van Dijk and Matip both had good headers.

Midfielder Wijnaldum also frequently threatens the opponent's goal with headers.

In those few minutes, they won several corner kicks in a row.

This puts a lot of pressure on Juventus' defense.

The corner kick was given to Arnold to take.

He surveyed the situation inside the penalty area.

Raise your right hand.

At this point, there were two center-backs, Yang Guang, and midfielders Henderson and Wijnaldum.

There are a total of five players in the penalty area.

The team features players such as Mane, Salah, and Keita on the perimeter.

Liverpool commits a significant number of players to set-piece attacks, such as corner kicks.

It's not that they're not afraid of their opponents' counterattacks.

But because.

Their three high points, especially the Sun, were incredibly effective at suppressing the opponent's defense. So most of the time...

Against their team, you need to stack up enough players when defending corner kicks to even have a slight chance against the sun.

Sunshine is the Liverpool player who attracts the most defensive attention during corner kick attacks.

Arnold kicked the ball out, and Sunshine retreated a few steps back in the middle before suddenly running towards the near post.

He headed the ball towards the goal!
Amidst the gasps of all the fans.

Standing at the front post is Juventus full-back Cancelo.

Cancelo almost instinctively stepped forward.

They blocked the ball.

Chiellini, still shaken, added a shot inside the penalty area.

The ball landed at Pjanic's feet outside the box!
Pjanic didn't have time to think.

He looked up to observe, then kicked the ball away.

The football flew past the midfield.

It landed at Mandzukic's feet.

Mandzukic played the role of a target man at center forward.

He shielded the ball, observed the runs of his teammates on both sides, and then made a diagonal pass to the right.

Dybala surged forward at high speed along the right sideline!
In a very short period of time.

Juventus' counter-attack had already advanced to the edge of the penalty area!
"Juventus' counterattack is on!!"

"Counter-attack! Counter-attack! Juventus' chance! Dybala has the ball."

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell from the commentary booth.

The cheers from the entire stadium instantly resounded through the sky.

It vibrated in everyone's eardrums.

Klopp makes minor changes to the league schedule.

Allegri had already rushed to the sidelines, his face full of anticipation.

It's already bad enough that Liverpool scored two away goals.

If we lose, things will be even worse.

If Juventus can equalize the score.

Then the situation is slightly less bad.

Although the second round went to Anfield.

But at least.
There is still hope!

Juventus is a typical Italian team.

They are extremely, extremely, extremely good at counter-attacking!

Their counterattack was very fast.

With a super finisher like Cristiano Ronaldo, Juventus' counter-attack success rate is quite high.

The ball was already in the attacking third after just a few passes.

Right now, in Liverpool's backfield.

Apart from goalkeeper Alisson.

Only two people remained.

Defensive midfielder: Keita.

Left-back Robertson.

At that moment, Robertson charged towards Mandzukic.

Keita, on the other hand, tucked up to the flanks, ready to cover for the defense at any moment.

But Mandzukic didn't let Robertson get entangled with him; before Robertson could be closely marked, he passed the ball out with a towel.

As a modern center forward, Mandzukic has a strong ability to facilitate play.

Dybala is incredibly fast.

His dribbling and breakthrough abilities are very strong.

Keita was in a very awkward situation at this point.

He was in the middle, Dybala was on the right, and Ronaldo was on the left.

How do you defend against it?
Keita didn't dare to lunge directly to the right.

Instead, he stood in the middle, because Dybala would have to cut in diagonally no matter what.

really.

Dybala dribbles diagonally into the penalty area.

Keita had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet them head-on.

Just now.

Dybala flicks a pass with the outside of his foot.

The football went around his feet.

It moved to the other side.

The ball reached Cristiano Ronaldo's feet on the left.

"Ronaldo! Ronaldo! He's through on goal!!"

The entire stadium.

A cheer erupted.

Juventus fans chanted excitedly, "Ronaldo! Kill him!"

As soon as Alisson saw Dybala transfer the ball to Ronaldo's side, he quickly and decisively rushed out!
He had only taken a few steps.

just see.

Ronaldo took a shot before even entering the penalty area!

The football traced an arc.

It grazed the fingertips of Alisson as he leaped up.

It circled around to the far post of the goal. Then it hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net...

"Aaaaaaah! Goal!!!!"

"Beautiful!! Cristiano Ronaldo!!!"

The commentators all jumped up.

They shouted.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Juventus' counter-attack! Two-two! Two-two! They've equalized again!"

"The two halves of this match were worlds apart. If you only look at one half, this match could even be considered the best Champions League match of the season!"

"The performances of superstars Sunny and Ronaldo were simply outstanding, each scoring twice! The score is now 2-2!"

"Juventus' counter-attack was too fast! Mandzukic received the ball, passed it diagonally, Dybala dribbled forward, switched it to the left, Ronaldo controlled the ball and shot directly! He caught Alisson completely off guard! Beautiful! Beautiful!!"

"There are still more than twenty minutes left in the match! More than twenty minutes left! Both sides still have a chance! Both sides still have a chance!!!"

After scoring, Ronaldo once again performed his signature celebration, igniting the stadium.

He faced the stands, gritting his teeth and waving his arms.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he also looked towards the sunlight.

When he saw the sunlight looking at him.

The Portuguese man clenched his fist in the sunlight.

See it.

boy!

Don't underestimate me!
forever!!
The sunlight caught Ronaldo's gaze.

Is it challenging?
Let's go then!
He did not underestimate Ronaldo.

They also knew the opponent's scoring ability.

and so.

He quickly took the ball to the center circle and placed it on the kickoff point.

Perhaps some people might think...

Liverpool taking home a 2-2 draw away from home is a respectable result.

They scored two away goals and didn't lose.

Isn't it beautiful?

But the sunlight doesn't think so.

This is a match we absolutely have to win, even if it means gritting our teeth.

He will not allow his team to have such a lax attitude.

The game is never about aiming for a draw.

As long as there's still time!

Then we must strive for victory.

After the game restarted.

Liverpool's attack quickly advanced into the attacking third.

After receiving the ball at the edge of the penalty area, Yang Guang passed it to the left and then quickly made a run into the penalty area.

Mane received the ball and, without stopping it, passed it directly into the penalty area.

As he ran, Yang Guang flicked his head, aiming the ball towards the goal.

The football grazed the post and went slightly wide.

"Sunshine! Woohoo! Liverpool immediately retaliated!"

The commentators hadn't even had a chance to say anything about Liverpool's attack.

Juventus' attack has already crossed the halfway line.

On the left side of the penalty area, Ronaldo received the ball, performed a series of stepovers, and then suddenly cut inside to shoot. The ball hit the post with a thud and bounced out of bounds.

"The post! Whoa! The post denied Ronaldo's goal!"

"The game has officially begun!"

"Both sides are launching very threatening attacks!"

Cristiano Ronaldo stared at the post on that side, spread his hands, raised his head and roared.

He then turned and ran out of the restricted area.

The competition has reached this point.

Both sides only had the other's goal in their eyes!
