    After conceding two goals in a row, Porto no longer wanted to win. Pulling a goal or saving some face became Porto's most important choice. After all, they played Besiktas in the last round, and the Turkish team was at their home court.  They are very threatening, but in the away game they are almost like fish belly. If they perform normally, Porto will have no problem defeating Besiktas and qualifying.  If you want to save face, you have to score goals. Previously, Porto spent most of their energy on defense, but they failed to defend. Now Porto is no longer prepared to defend. It cannot defend anyway, so it is better to attack instead of defend. Maybe Liverpool  They will still score goals, but Porto can also score goals. Even if both sides score goals, the result will be better than not scoring a goal.  Facing Porto¡¯s attack, Liverpool, which is leading by two goals, refused to give up any ground. Today Liverpool is going to beat Porto hard and show the world the strength and majesty of the defending champion.  Players on both sides want to hit the ball into the opponent's penalty area, but neither side is willing to back down, so the midfield has become the main battleground for both sides.  The Premier League ranks high among the five major leagues based solely on the midfielder's fighting and fighting ability, and Liverpool's midfielder's hardness ranks high in the Premier League. Porto plays Latin football and wins with technology. They and Liverpool will definitely be able to fight in the midfield.  At a disadvantage, with Liverpool in today's state, even if the referee's penalty scale is the same as the first round match between the two teams, Porto may not have an advantage. What's more, today's referee's penalty scale is relatively loose, which is more beneficial to Liverpool.  Quaresma, who performed well in the first round, was severely restricted in this round. He made repeated mistakes under Liverpool's pressure, and his teammates did not dare to pass the ball to him again.  Porto reduced their defense, hoping to replace defense with offense, but their failure in the midfield made them unable to launch an attack. The defense was even more stretched, and the defense was beaten by Liverpool. However, after scoring two goals, Liverpool's offense was somewhat  It was casual and not as tense as the opening game. As a result, it created many opportunities, but failed to seize them.  Although the score did not expand, Liverpool's offense was very exciting. In addition, Liverpool's players showed some elements of performance after taking a two-goal lead. This was something the coach didn't like, but in the eyes of the fans, the game became more exciting, so the fans in the stands  The applause and cheers became more and more enthusiastic, and the atmosphere in the stadium became more and more intense.  Porto head coach Ferreira's original intention was to use offense instead of defense, conceding goals in exchange for goals, but his intention was not realized. The defense became worse and worse, and the offense did not improve much, posing little threat to Liverpool.  , the reason why they did not concede another goal was that Liverpool was a little bit worse in seizing the opportunity and was not as decisive as the shot in the previous time.  A strong team like Liverpool has a strong ability to adjust. Even if the head coach is not around to direct, they can adjust themselves. When they see their teammates in front of them being too hesitant to shoot, veterans like Gerrard and Chen Yu will immediately point out their teammates' problems and let them  They fight more resolutely and don't want to play games. Their opponents are by no means easy to deal with. They don't want to give their opponents a chance to breathe. They will kill them if they fight.  Players like Chen Yu and Gerrard are the backbone of the team, and their words are no worse than the head coach. Under their guidance, Liverpool's players are much more decisive in their offense than before, and the threat of shooting is becoming more and more serious.  In the 40th minute of the game, Liverpool once again had a great chance to score. Crouch's pressing in the frontcourt caused a passing error by the Porto defender. The ball was intercepted by Chen Yu and he immediately shot.  Chen Yu's shot after the steal was very decisive and completed in one go, with almost no pause in the middle. Goalkeeper Nuno was still thinking about what Chen Yu would do next, but Chen Yu had already shot. Nuno could not react in time. Fortunately, Chen Yu was too quick to shoot.  , the angle was not tricky enough, Nuno subconsciously reached out to block it. The ball deflected slightly and hit the goalpost.  Liverpool players were very excited today and were very active in running to grab points. Although no one could have expected Chen Yu when he shot, after the shot, the first ones to run over were the Liverpool players. Their reaction was obviously better than that of Porto.  The players were half a beat too fast.  Luck finally favored the model worker Kuyt. The ball bounced in the direction of Kuyt's running. Facing the huge empty goal, Kuyt didn't need to aim. He blocked it with his foot and the ball flew into the goal. ? 3:0 ? Kuyt scored a goal, and Liverpool used supplementary shots to score twice, which shows that Liverpool is better than Porto in terms of enthusiasm. Liverpool is stronger than Porto. If they work harder, Porto will really have no chance to win.  The cheers in the stands continued for a long time, and then a Mexican wave started in one stand, and then the whole stand started a wave of people. The atmosphere of the stadium reached its peak at this moment.  Benitez on the sidelines couldn't help but smile at this time. He was happy not only that the victory was determined, but also the state of the players. Such a positive Liverpool Benitez has not been seen often this season, which is very good.  won the seasonWith the momentum of the double championship, Liverpool will soon enter the Christmas Devil schedule. If Liverpool can maintain this state, it will not be a big problem for Liverpool to retain the leading position.  And Porto's head coach Ferreira has a long face. His original intention was to sacrifice defense to complete the offense, but now the defense is gone and the offense has not been successful. Instead, Liverpool has once again expanded the score. Now Ferreira dare not do it anymore.  Letting the players attack rashly, he could only wave his hand helplessly and let his players shrink and defend the last five minutes. He was already 0:3 behind. If he did not stabilize his position, Liverpool might score again in the last five minutes.  Porto shrank its defense in the last five minutes, while Liverpool's willingness to attack also decreased after taking a three-goal lead. Neither side created a shooting opportunity in the last five minutes, and the 3:0 score remained until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half.  During the halftime break, Liverpool did not make any adjustments, but Porto directly changed two people, one at the striker and one in the midfield. The purpose was still to strengthen the offense.  Leading 3-0 in the first half, Liverpool's fighting spirit in the second half was obviously not as good as in the first half, while Porto was determined to save some face, had stronger fighting spirit, and ran more actively. As time went by, Liverpool's advantage was not as good as it was in the first half.  It is obvious then that the two sides are evenly matched on the field and the opportunities created are also similar.  In the 10th minute of the second half of the game, Porto stole the ball in the midfield and launched a counterattack. Quaresma drove the ball straight in, continuously broke through the interceptions of Liverpool midfielders Gerrard and Aaron, and penetrated into the middle of Liverpool's penalty area.  Forcing Liverpool's two central defenders Carragher and Agger to come together to flank Quaresma.  Quaresma is the core of Porto's offense. Not only does he have excellent skills, but he also has a broad vision. Seeing Carragher and Agger coming to defend him, Quaresma immediately gave the ball to Sandro, the teammate.  He continued to push forward and attracted Liverpool's defenders.  Quaresma without the ball naturally does not need two people to defend. Carragher immediately intercepted Lisandro who had the ball.  Originally, there was no problem with Liverpool's defense. Carragher did not lose his position in the past defense. It was not easy for Lisandro to pass through his defense. It was also difficult to pass to Quaresma. Agger kept praising him.  As for Lesma, but at this time Lisandro showed the unique spirituality of South American players. He knocked his heel back and continued to move forward, making a pass and cut with his teammate Assuncao who followed behind.  This is going to be difficult for Carragher. If he follows Lisandro, Assuncao will have no one to defend him. If he doesn't follow Lisandro, Assuncao will directly pass the ball.  Facing the goalkeeper.  The lesser of two evils, Carragher could only follow Lisandro and let other teammates cover Assuncao.  Assuncao is unguarded. He has many options. He can pass, dribble, and of course he can shoot. However, he is about thirty meters away from the goal. The shooting distance is too far. When there is no one to defend, shooting is not the best.  s Choice.  However, not all players are the most rational. Assuncao has the ability to shoot from a long distance. He took two horizontal steps and shot immediately. The ball flew against the turf and flew towards the goal.  The angle of this shot is not very tricky, but it is very powerful. Liverpool goalkeeper Reina saw that Assuncao's shot was far away and thought he could save it. He fell to the ground and wanted to save the ball in his arms, but Reina  Assuncao's strength was weakened. He pounced but failed to catch the ball. The ball bounced out of his arms.  It is very dangerous to be dehydrated at this time, because a forward and an avant-garde of Porto are running into the penalty area, which can easily give them a chance to get a supplementary shot.  Goalkeeper Reina was also very aware of the situation on the field. After the ball was released, his head was covered and he quickly got up to make a second save.  However, Reina's second save was already too late. Lisandro did not dare to run with all his strength when he advanced forward, for fear of being offside. After seeing Assuncao's shot, he immediately ran towards the goal with all his strength. At this time, he arrived just in time.  He fell to the ground and kicked the ball into the net.  1:3 Porto forward Lisandro's supplementary shot brought Porto back a point.  After scoring the goal, Lisandro was very excited. This was at Anfield. It was an honor to score here. Lisandro got up from the turf and ran towards the stands, patting himself as he ran.  chest, as excited as if he had won the game.  There are very few Porto fans in the stands, probably less than 2,000. Because this game does not determine Porto¡¯s qualifying rights, and the chance of winning is very small, Porto fans are not willing to come. Those who come are all die-hards, but they are  Porto played too poorly at halftime and were scored 3 goals by Liverpool. This made Porto fans who were mentally prepared to lose a little disappointed. Now look at LisandroAfter getting a goal back, the Porto fans were very happy. They all cheered and gave Lisandro applause.  Seeing Lisandro scoring, Porto head coach Ferreira felt relieved. Up to this point in this game, he had no idea of ??winning at all. He just wanted to score a goal so that the result would not be ugly.  , being able to shoot a few more times will make the scene less ugly. As for qualifying, just return to home and win Besiktas.  Porto was satisfied, but Liverpool people were not satisfied, especially the Liverpool fans. They not only wanted to win today, but also wanted to win something beautiful. Seeing that Porto forward Lisandro was disappointed, they immediately started chanting "Liverpool enters."  One! Liverpool scores one!" Even if the fans don't shout, Liverpool's players will not give up. If Lisandro doesn't score, Liverpool will be satisfied with the score of 3:0. After all, Porto is not an unknown person, but Lisandro is not a nobody.  Sandro's goal made the Liverpool players very unhappy. Without the coach and captain saying hello, everyone started attacking in unison.  Because I had been relaxed for a while, it was not easy to suddenly become nervous now. Liverpool's offense did not immediately gain the upper hand. After Porto scored, their morale was high and they did not suffer at both ends of the offense and defense. They boldly competed with Liverpool in the midfield  , there are comings and goings, and for a while no one can do anything to the other.  It is difficult to break the deadlock, but this is for other teams. For Liverpool, they have superstar-level Chen Yu and Gerrard. As long as these two people want to perform, Porto cannot stop them at all.  Sure enough, in the 32nd minute of the game, Liverpool's Chen Yu dribbled the ball from the wing and suddenly cut across to the center. Chen Yu had a clear mind when cutting inside and found a relatively open space. At the same time, he passed the frequency under his feet.  Avoided a defensive player's sliding tackle and another player's follow-up.  When Porto's midfielder had already predicted his position, Chen Yu was expected to continue to cut inside, but Chen Yu's ability to make continuous movements was very strong. With a flick of his ankle, he spiked the ball and prepared to go to another channel. Porto  The back waist had no choice but to stretch out his foot to trip Chen Yu.  Chen Yu continued to make moves. At this time, he had reached his limit and had no way to escape. However, he saw that the inward cut caused multiple players from Porto to double-team. Before he was tripped, he poked the ball and passed it to the open Ke.  Rauch.  The referee had already put the whistle in his mouth, but when he saw that Crouch was in a good position and could shoot just one step ahead, he gave up the whistle and let the game continue.  Crouch lived up to Chen Yu's pass. He took two steps forward and shot from the penalty area line towards the far corner of the goal. Porto goalkeeper Nuno fell to the ground to save, but he was just a little bit short. The ball passed from his finger.  The tip rolled into the net. ? 4:1 ? Crouch, who scored the goal, roared and shook his fist fiercely at the stands, then turned and ran towards Chen Yu who was still lying on the ground. He was worried that Chen Yu was injured at that moment.  Chen Yu was actually fine, but the game was very tense and it was a critical moment for Crouch to shoot. He sat on the ground and watched without getting up, which caused misunderstandings among his teammates.  When Chen Yu saw Crouch running over, he got up and hugged Crouch, "Big guy! Good shot!" Seeing that Chen Yu was safe and sound, Crouch smiled and said, "You're okay! That's good! Thank you.  "Chen Yu smiled and said nothing, thinking: Silly man, if I can keep dribbling, I will pass it to you.  After Crouch made the score 4:1, Liverpool and Porto had another melee. Liverpool wanted to continue to expand the score, and Porto wanted to score another one. However, it was already at the end of the game, and their physical fitness and concentration had declined.  , The defense was not good, but the ability to seize opportunities was also poor. In the end, neither side was able to seize the shooting opportunity, and the score of 4:1 remained until the end of the game.  With a score like this, Liverpool fans have nothing to say. They can only applaud and cheer for joy. They cannot have any opinions. Although the goal conceded was not perfect, facing a team that tied with them in the first round and achieving such a score, it was a scene.  They also completely have the upper hand, and they can no longer ask for too much. Porto is not a weakling after all.  Although the people of Porto were dissatisfied, they had expected this result, but the score was a bit big. However, considering that Marseille lost an upset to Besiktas, Porto had actually qualified for the group. Since they could not win the first place in the group  , then it doesn¡¯t matter what the score is, so Porto after the game can accept such a result.  At this point, the group stage is over for Liverpool and Porto. They only need to wait for the draw of the top 16 knockout rounds. Liverpool is first in the group and has great hope of getting a good draw to advance. However, due to the upset of Sevilla in Group H,  The phenomenon of first place in the group was revealed. Manchester United and Roma were first and second in Group F.Porto is not afraid, so Porto is not without hope of advancement.
