Volume 2, Chapter 47

"Yeah~~", the teammates roared passionately on the sidelines with Mark Qin in their arms. It is very beneficial to them to score an away goal. They have not lost more than two away goals in the Champions League for a long time.

So even if they lose in the end, Schalke is unlikely to score their three goals. With one away goal, they already have an advantage in this game.

"Ma Keqin, he helped Liverpool score a golden away goal, a beautiful header," Duan Xuan said with emotion as he watched Liverpool celebrate wildly.

"That's right," Zhang Lu went on to say, "The two sides are actually playing a bit evenly matched, and neither has a particularly good chance. Mark Qin's goal may break the balance of power on the field, and Schalke must attack. Torres It is more powerful for a player like Gerrard who needs space to attack."

Duan Xuan said with a smile: "Schalke probably didn't expect that Liverpool would catch Rafinha and fight non-stop. They conceded the ball before they were ready."

Slomkarten stood up from the coach's bench and scratched his head as he watched the wildly celebrating Liverpool players. This time it was difficult to play. His tactic was to defend firmly, and then try to seize opportunities with set kicks and crosses from both sides. goal.

Now it is necessary to press the offense. What he is worried about is the physical problems of these veterans in the second half. After all, once they are pressed, the pace of the game will definitely pick up.

Liverpool is not one of those weak teams that allows them to press and play, and the midfielders must make more return runs.

With the booing, Maxim ran towards his own half, ready to re-kick off. Rafinha and Bordon looked at the Liverpool players with their hips akimbo, and the late header still allowed them to score.

Bordon was attracted by Benayoun's forward thrust just now. Rafinha's height has always been a disadvantage in defending headers, especially this kind of headers that are rushed up.

"Look at their right, don't let them cross easily, Koya, pay attention to their Mark's outflanking of the back point, and assist Rafinha," Bordon directed his teammates and said.

Sometimes they don't need the head coach to adjust on the court, and both Coya and Rafinha nodded.

"Oh yeah~~", celebrated in many red bars in Liverpool, Sam and Harry bumped into each other in Tony's bar, "Cheers, for Mark", "Cheers, haha~"

"Mark has scored five goals in the Champions League. This is his first time participating in the Champions League. It's unbelievable~", Duan Xuan said in admiration.

Liverpool has scored five goals in the Champions League now, and Benayoun has also scored five.

The game restarted, Schalke 04 strengthened the offense, Mark Qin retreated to help his defense on the left, and Rafinha's assist ability was still very strong.

And now he obviously has the intention of making amends, his eyes are bloodshot, and he keeps flying up and down the right side.

However, Benitez's team, playing defensive counterattack is a housekeeping skill, and they automatically returned to their own half, ready to play Schalke 04's counterattack.

Schalke's two midfielders are both defensive and impact-oriented, with average organizational skills. Liverpool strangled their two wings, and Schalke's offense was thunderous and rainy.

Can only rely on the personal ability of the two strikers. Rakitic's inside cut is a common method for Schalke's offense, but Mark Qin's recovery allows Benayoun to follow him without any scruples.

Ma Keqin got into a fight with Rafinha today. He knew that he couldn't compare with Rafinha in terms of speed, but his prediction and positioning made it very uncomfortable for Rakitic who wanted to pass the ball to Rafinha.

At the end of the first half, there was no surprise. Liverpool just wanted to hold on to the advantage of one goal and entered the second half. Schalke failed to pull back the score. Liverpool led 1-0 into the second half.

"Okay, audience friends, the first half of the match between Schalke and Liverpool in the last sixteen of the Champions League is over. With a wonderful pass from Alonso, Mark Qin beat Rafinha from the back and scored a goal. Remember the beautiful header," Duan Xuan said during the intermission.

Zhang Lu also followed up and said: "This is more beneficial to Liverpool. Benitez's team is good at counterattacking. Schalke can't do without attacking in the second half."

"Director Zhang, what do you think of the arrangement of the coaches on both sides in the first half?" Duan Xuan asked.

"In the first half, the two teams actually played well, playing what they were good at, but as for Schalke 04, it may be because they were afraid of Liverpool's speed in the frontcourt that they didn't dare to push forward," Zhang Lu said.

"They defended well in the first thirty-five minutes, but unexpectedly, they were caught by Mark Qin in a sudden, and they scored two consecutive headers in a short period of time at the end. Neuer saved once, and the second time Ma Keqin was obviously prepared, and deliberately hit a bouncing ball. This kind of ball is very difficult for goalkeepers to judge."

Duan Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "I think this is the difference between stars and ordinary players. Their ability to seize opportunities is very strong. Maybe one or two opportunities can change the game."

The dressing room is a double sky, Liverpool players are very relaxed, Schalke 04's dressing room is dignified, Slomka keeps repeating that we want to attack.

The Schalke players all bowed their heads, and the atmosphere was dull. Slomka's prestige was still low. Many times their locker room relied on the opinions of some old players.

"We counterattacked in the second half," Benitez said happily. He was able to take the lead in the first half and had a greater advantage over them in the second half. He believed that the speed of Torres and Gerrard would have more opportunities to play in the second half.

Indeed.

At the beginning of the second half, Schalke 04 was in an embarrassing situation where they wanted to press the offense but were afraid of counterattack. The back line was a bit out of touch.

Mark Qin repeatedly swam in the gap between the back line and the midfield line and got the ball to launch a counterattack. If Torres hadn't rushed a few steps early and was offside by Schalke, the score might have become 2-0.

Sometimes the game is like this. Once the balance is broken, there may be more opportunities and the scene will become better.

Finally, in the 65th minute, Mark Qin assisted in the defense at the left back position. Enrique cut off the direct pass from Rakitic to Rafinha and handed it to Mark Qin.

Mark Qin passed a long pass with his left foot to the right. Gerrard quickly inserted it, strode towards the penalty area, and finally crossed in front of Neuer. Torres, who followed, easily pushed through the net.

Two to zero.

Shortly after the goal, Benitez replaced Benayoun and Mark Qin, replaced by Dirk and Liera, obviously to strengthen the defense.

In the end, the score was also defended to the end. Liverpool beat Schalke 04 2-0 in the away game, gaining the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals!

The Liverpool players did not go to the Schalke Stadium to celebrate excessively, after all, it is their home court.

Slomka said in the post-match press conference: "Thirty-five minutes ago everything was going well until they scored a goal."

"Everything has changed since that goal. They have an extremely fast striker, which makes our back line afraid to press"

"They took advantage of the space we had at the back in the second half, they were the better side tonight, but the series is not over, they can win at our home ground and we won't be at their home ground next month. give up"

Benitez said: "I am very happy for Marc's performance. He helped us break the deadlock. His performance on the court has always been full of wisdom, and it is still the same today."

"As long as he continues to perform like this, he will become one of the best players in the world"

Liverpool rushed back to Liverpool overnight, because the league will be in three days, and they have to continue to compete for the league championship.

Compared with the uncertainty of the Champions League, the league championship is closer to them today, which is tangible.

"Mark helps Liverpool pass again"

"Benitez: He will be one of the best players in the world"

"British semi-finals, Manchester United and Liverpool take the lead in qualifying"

The next day, major newspapers in England and Germany reported on the game, especially the German "Kicker", which used a large section to introduce the record-breaking 16-year-old Chinese star Mark Qin.

"The best sixteen-year-old player in the world right now," they say.

"No one can achieve the same results as Mark at the age of 16, and he will only be 17 in three months, but he has already secured his main position in Liverpool"

"Even Messi and Ronaldo show their power after adapting to the first team, but Mark doesn't seem to need this transition at all"

"He performed well as a substitute in the team last year. After the New Year, Benitez put him in the nine and a half position, and his goals and assists were out of control."

"We can't help but ask, is there really someone who is born to play football? His performance on the field is like an old fritter who has mentioned football for 20 years. This sentence comes from the evaluation of Schalke right back Rafinha"

"Kicker" spared no effort to praise Mark Qin, and the English media did not give in too much: Mark, may be a brand new player without a template, and he may create a position or a style of play.

We know that any player has outstanding predecessors who have achieved or exceeded their achievements in the same way, and this is their natural template.

When Mark Qin made his debut, Marko once thought that Haji was the template. Later, some people thought he was Pirlo, but when he played number nine and a half, everyone was caught blind.

He naturally knows how to play football!

Everyone thought at the same time that Guardiola had said the same thing to him on the phone that night.

There is no template or adjective that can simply describe what type of player Comprehensive Mark Qin is.

He is a tactic in his own right!

Because Mark Qin has experienced the tactical revolution bombing of later generations, when he was in Kirkby, he never fell into the rules and regulations of the coaches, because he knew that these coaches would be eliminated sooner or later.

What really won't be eliminated, only changes, according to opponents, according to teammates, every game is a brand new start, he just needs to know the basics.

Like a pile of building blocks, he works hard to learn different individual parts instead of the overall shape. When he needs it, he will take out these prepared building blocks on the field to build the shape he wants, instead of sticking to what should be how to spell.

He made more people realize that even if they don't have a top body or top technology, they can become a top star as long as they are smart enough!
