658. Chapter 657: Scissor kick in the air! Gu Ran shoots the ball into the net!



Dortmund's positional defense was also strong and they immediately double-teamed Sterling.

Sterling forced a shot when the advantage was gone!

The ball was touched by defender Subotic, hit the goal post and bounced to the left side of the penalty area.

Gu Ran appeared like a ghost at the first landing point!

By the time Dortmund's defensive players discovered it, it was too late!

Gu Ran stopped the ball with his chest, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed it with a scissor kick! The ball was like a powerful electromagnetic cannonball, bombarding the goal at close range! The ball went in! The net was penetrated by Gu Ran's powerful volley! The Liverpool fans at the scene screamed with excitement! You know, in the past, nets were all hand-sewn, and the quality was low, and there were often cases of nets being broken by shooting. But in modern times, nets are all industrial products, and the quality is quite good, and there are very few cases of nets being broken by shooting.

Gu Ran's kick actually made a hole in the connection between the net and the goal! It was so powerful! Gu Ran's goal was played repeatedly on the big screen at Anfield Stadium! The score was immediately changed to Liverpool 4:2 Dortmund!

Liverpool, after falling behind Dortmund by one goal at the start, took the lead again by two goals!

Now, the pressure is back on Dortmund.

If they were only one goal behind, Dortmund could still launch a passionate attack at the end of the game, but if they were two goals behind, it would be very difficult to deal with.

In particular, Dortmund's physical condition is very not optimistic compared to Liverpool.

The game continues.

In the 65th minute, Coutinho made a cross from the left bottom, and Gu Ran immediately passed the ball to the empty space in the penalty area after receiving it. Coutinho cleverly penetrated in, but unfortunately he was a little nervous when he took the final shot, and the ball brushed past the far post.

Coutinho covered his face and sighed helplessly.

If this ball had gone in, Liverpool would have been able to rest easy in this game.

In the 72nd minute, Gu Ran faced the close defense of four strong young men from Dortmund and repeatedly pulled the ball in front of Dortmund's penalty area. After finding the gap, he made a straight pass!

Suarez ran in the opposite direction to help create a threat, and the happy boy Sterling came in from the back row and faced an almost empty goal with a fierce shot!

The ball...went wide!

The Liverpool Red Army fans in the stands screamed and held their heads in their hands.

Sterling smiled happily and didn't care at all.

Sterling is the reason for his success and failure.

Mourinho in the tactical area has already thought about selling Sterling.

In the 75th minute, Mourinho made another substitution.

The happy boy Sterling, who had wasted several sure-goal opportunities, was substituted by Mourinho and replaced by "Tang Ling" Downing.

Downing is a very strong player and can be considered a first-class midfielder in the Premier League.

The only drawback is that as an offensive midfielder, Tang Ning has basically scored no goals, because Tang Ning's nickname is Tang Ling.

Of course, Tang Ning had just arrived in Liverpool and had not yet shown his Tang Ling style.

When Sterling was substituted off the field, he was still smiling and didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The game continues.

Mourinho has taught Klopp a good lesson - no matter what tactical system, physical fitness is the most important.

Mourinho's 433 formation is a defensive counterattack, which is to preserve physical strength.

Klopp's passionate 4231 high-position defense and counterattack, although it looks very passionate, actually consumes too much physical energy and requires too much from the players.

By the 85th minute of the game, it was difficult for Dortmund to launch a decent counterattack.

Even though there were one or two times, their center forward Lewandowski was restricted tightly by Gu Ran. As soon as Lewandowski got the ball, he was worried that Gu Ran would make a flying tackle on him as if it was a conditioned reflex.

Due to the disadvantages of playing away from home and physical strength, Dortmund was completely silenced.

Liverpool completely controlled the tempo of the game late in the second half.

In the 89th minute, Gu Ran sent a rainbow pass outside the penalty area, Suarez cut in diagonally, raised his foot and rubbed the ball without stopping -

Unfortunately, Dortmund goalkeeper Weidenfeller performed bravely and caught the ball with both hands.

Liverpool missed the opportunity to extend the lead.

However, the two-goal lead basically killed the suspense of the game.

In the 4 minutes of injury time, Liverpool continued to attack, while Dortmund was in a panic and defended with all their might.

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Liverpool won the extremely valuable 3 points in the super death group with a score of 4:2 at home! In the press conference after the game, Klopp sincerely congratulated Liverpool on their victory. He believed that Liverpool's victory was well deserved and he also benefited a lot from playing against coach Mourinho.

Mourinho also praised Klopp's coaching ability. Mourinho said that Dortmund is very difficult to deal with, and when Liverpool go to Dortmund's home court in the future, they must be in high spirits.

Klopp envied Mourinho for being able to coach Liverpool, especially for being able to coach Liverpool with Gu Ran.

Mourinho also congratulated Klopp on his two consecutive Bundesliga titles.

The two coaches traded some commercial praise.

At the same time, another match in Group D of the Death Group has also ended. Real Madrid beat Ajax 2:1. Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Benzema each scored a goal, and Ajax's Siem De Jong scored a penalty.

After this round of matches, Liverpool continued to lead the standings in the super death group with a record of two wins and an advantage in goal difference. Real Madrid also ranked second with 6 points, while Dortmund and Ajax failed to win in two rounds, so they ranked third and fourth respectively.

There is still a difference between the third and fourth place. The third place can be airdropped into the knockout stage of the Europa League and compete with the Europa League teams for the Europa League championship, while the fourth place will be eliminated directly.

Therefore, every game in the Champions League group stage is actually a life-and-death battle.

If you don’t fight for the first place, then fight for the second place. If you don’t fight for the second place, then fight for the third place and you will still have a chance to win the Europa League.

This is also what makes the Champions League so exciting.

All clubs are trying their best to play in the Champions League.

In this round of the Champions League, Southampton lost again and basically said goodbye to advancing to the Champions League, but they can still compete for the third place and return to the Europa League.

After this round of games, Mourinho gave the main players two days off to rest and adjust.
