Chapter 318
Generally speaking, the caddies at the home court of a team are members of their own youth team and junior team.So naturally they sided with their senior team.

The England commentator criticized the caddy's approach: "This approach is very unfriendly and unnecessary..."

Lin Yi did not protest to the referee or argue with the ball boy. Instead, he ran over and passed the football thrown by the ball boy to Johnson.

After Johnson picked up the football, he spread his hands in the direction of the ball boy.

The TV broadcast also gave a close-up shot of the caddy, and the teenager in the shot showed a disdainful expression towards Johnson.

He considers the interests of Atletico Madrid and is not afraid of a Liverpool player. Of course he also knows that Johnson does not dare to do anything to him.

Johnson really didn't dare to do anything to him. He didn't even dare to curse. Otherwise, if the media asked a lip reader to interpret it after the game, all the contents of his curse would come out, and there would definitely be another uproar.

Johnson could only hold back his breath and endure it.

Then he threw the football towards Lovren, who came up to meet him.

Lovren didn't stop the ball and directly passed the football back to him.

Johnson turned around after hitting the ball and saw Salah running in front of him on the wing, so he passed the football.

Salah turned around with the ball and tried to dribble laterally, but the football was scooped away by Thiago, the Atletico Madrid player who was guarding him.

The shoveled football fell back to Johnson's feet.Of course, Atletico Madrid immediately had two players standing in front of Johnson.

Johnson turned around quickly and passed the football back.

It was passed to Lin Yi who was taking over in the middle.Lin Yi distributed the football to the right and passed it to the right back Manquillo who came up.

When the football came to Manquillo, he didn't know how to pass it. He looked up and didn't see any good opportunities.

However, as a Liverpool player, one thing should be very clear, that is, if you don't know how to handle the ball on the court, then pass the ball to Lin Yi.

So Manquillo passed the football up again
Before this, Lin Yi had been observing the situation on the court.He saw that Salah did not stay where he was after the ball was tackled, but moved towards the center, but not very fast.

But when he passed the football to Manquillo, Salah suddenly accelerated and rushed to the right.And because Royce's position was relatively deep, Atletico Madrid's defensive players pressed forward, and there was space behind them.

Lin Yi was keenly aware that this was an opportunity.

At this time, Manquillo passed the football over, so he did not stop the ball and pushed the football directly to the right rib of Atletico Madrid's penalty area.

The football rolled across the turf in a diagonal line and into the empty space.

Of course, before Lin Yi passed the ball, there was no one's space there.

But from now on, not anymore.

Salah went straight into that place, and one of Atletico Madrid's central defenders, Godin, also chased after him, but instead of grabbing the ball at Salah's feet, he pushed Salah to the sideline and out of the penalty area.

Godin's defense is still very sophisticated. Under his defense, it is indeed difficult for Salah to get a chance to turn around. He can only be "pushed" out of the penalty area by Godin.

At this time, Atletico Madrid's Thiago also ran up and guarded Salah with Godin.

When Godin saw reinforcements coming, he took the initiative to stick to Salah. His hands were still moving, and he held Salah's left arm to prevent him from easily getting rid of him and creating space with him. At the same time, he was stuck. On the baseline side, prevent Salah from sneaking past.

At this time, Thiago also pressed up from the other side. The two of them sandwiched Salah and pushed him to the sideline.

By the time it reached the sideline, Liverpool's attack basically hit a dead end.

Lin Yi originally saw the space and passed it to the space. Salah also ran into the space. However, Atletico Madrid's defensive response was very good, which prevented Liverpool's attack.

Salah was close to being forced into a dead end. Under the attack of Godin and Thiago, he seemed to be helpless.

But just as he was about to reach the sideline, Salah pushed Thiago with his left hand, suddenly stepped on the football behind him with his right foot, and at the same time pulled his left arm out of Godin's arms, turned around quickly, and wanted to get away from Thiago. Get through the gap between Ge and Godin!

Godin's defensive experience is so sophisticated. When he saw Salah turn around, he immediately leaned forward and filled the gap.

At the same time, Thiago cooperated with him tacitly and immediately poked the ball with his feet.

The two of them worked together to block Salah's breakthrough.

But Salah's feet were faster than these two tall defenders. Salah stretched out his left foot before Thiago and pulled the football back!

Thiago didn't expect Salah's feet to move so quickly. He stretched out his feet, but missed the football and missed it.

Immediately afterwards, Salah pulled the football back with his left foot and pushed the football out with his right foot. The football slipped between the legs of Godin who was caught off guard.

While pushing the ball, Salah started, like an electric sports car, starting at an extremely fast speed, and instantly slipped through the gap between Godin and the baseline!
The ball is divided!

When Godin turned hastily, Salah had already got the ball behind him.

"Salah! Oh oh oh oh! Beautiful breakthrough! What a wonderful individual performance!" the England commentator exclaimed.

Salah, who had completed the double-play breakthrough, did not continue to dribble the ball towards the goal. After looking up, he decisively used his right foot to sweep the football towards the center of the penalty area, near the penalty spot!
There, Lin Yi was running forward, facing the football from Salah, he shot with a flick of his foot!

The straight script shoots the football and firmly presses it on the turf.

The football was rushing forward on the turf. The turf that was watered before the game was a little slippery, which reduced the friction and accelerated the rolling speed of the football.

Although there were two Atletico Madrid defenders and Manjing goalkeeper Oblak in front of Lin Yi and the goal, the football kicked by Lin Yi still missed them and flew towards the goal.

Neither of the two Atletico Madrid defenders could touch the football. In fact, they didn't even have time to react because Lin Yi's shot was too decisive and too quick.Oblak fell to the ground and threw himself back.But just now he was attracted by Salah's breakthrough and went to the near corner to block it, but Lin Yi's shot went straight to the back corner. The gap between the two sides was a bit big, and he didn't touch the football at all...

Under the horrified gaze of countless Atletico Madrid fans, the football rolled into the goal unimpeded!
In the 404th minute of the game, Liverpool scored.

"Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi! Lin Yi!!! Wow! Great!!" the England commentator shouted excitedly. "Lin Yi volleyed the ball into Atletico Madrid's goal! He pulled a goal back for Liverpool, and most importantly, this goal gave Liverpool an away goal!"

"Salah's breakthrough! Beautiful! Pass...Hey Lin Yi! What a ball! What a ball! A clean cut to the ground!" He Wei was also very excited.

After scoring the goal, Lin Yi was also very happy. He pointed at Salah and ran towards him. In fact, the biggest credit for this goal must be remembered by Salah. If he hadn't turned the decay into a magical breakthrough on the wing, he would have No chance of my own.

Salah also pointed at Lin Yi, waiting for Lin Yi to come up.

Although my own breakthrough is beautiful, if no one comes to shoot the football into the goal, all the previous efforts are meaningless.

The two hugged each other, and more teammates flocked to them, surrounded them and made dumplings.

The Calderon Stadium, home of Atletico Madrid, fell into a brief period of silence...

When Atletico Madrid scored in the first 4 minutes, many Atletico Madrid fans began to look forward to a massacre at the Calderon Stadium.

But at this moment, Lin Yi stepped forward, ruined Atletico Madrid's good deeds, and poured cold water on all Atletico Madrid fans.

The Calderon Stadium, which seemed to be burning red before, instantly cooled down and was then shrouded in a burst of white mist.

Klopp jumped up high on the sidelines, pumped his fists and roared, and then hugged everyone around him. The excitement felt as if the game had ended with this score.

In sharp contrast to him is Simeone, the head coach of Atletico Madrid.

When Liverpool launched an attack, Simeone was holding a water bottle and preparing to drink water. However, when he saw Liverpool attacking, he just held the bottle instead of filling his mouth.Fortunately, he did this, otherwise he would probably be choked now...

But even so, Simeone is not much better now - when he lost the ball, he slammed the water bottle on the ground angrily. As a result, under the pressure, water spurted out of the mouth of the bottle, and Simeone dodged. Not enough, I got shot in the face...

Some water splashed into Simone's eyes, making him embarrassed.

"The first half is about to end. In the last minute... we lost a goal. Atletico Madrid's luck..." the Spanish commentator sighed helplessly.

Soon after, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Television broadcasts captured the expressions on the faces of players from both teams as they left the field.

In the Atletico Madrid dressing room, Simeone is boosting the morale of his players - a top priority.

"Of course, we conceded, which is bad, but we still have 45 minutes to change the result, just one away goal. If we can score two goals in the opening game, why can't we score more Where is the ball?" Simeone looked at his players. He stared into the eyes of each player and instilled his courage and confidence in them.

Meanwhile, in the Liverpool dressing room, Klopp was critical of his players' first-half performance.Yes, you read that right, even though Liverpool had just pulled a goal back, the head coach still criticized the team's performance.

"... Let's not talk about the last goal. Your performance in the first half was like shit. When Atletico Madrid rushed you, you were like a bitch. You just covered your eyes and screamed. Those two missed goals What's going on? Is it a reflection of the real level gap between us and Atletico Madrid? Even if this is their home court, there is no reason for such a disgusting situation! I reminded you, I spent so much time telling you before the game What kind of opponent are you going to face, but what will be the result?"

Klopp spread his hands and looked at his players.

"I don't want to see you panicking again in the second half! Cheer up, there are still 45 minutes, anything can happen, but I don't want you to try other possibilities!"

After teaching the team a lesson, Klopp looked at Salah and said in a seemingly casual tone: "Well done."

Although his tone was very casual, Salah still showed an excited expression on his face.

Being praised and recognized by the head coach is one of the motivations for every player to work hard.

But Klopp immediately said: "I'm not talking about the assist."

This made Salah feel strange, and he showed a puzzled expression.

But he didn't dare to ask. He had just been scolded by the head coach, and he didn't dare to touch this bad luck.

He could only frown and think hard about what the head coach meant.

The breakthrough he assisted Lin Yi in the first half was his most beautiful breakthrough.So he took it for granted that Klopp praised his performance in assisting Lin Yi.

But now the head coach says no, what is that?
It wasn't until the halftime break was over and the players returned to the court that Salah's doubts were answered.

Lin Yi noticed that Salah had been frowning until he was definitely struggling with this issue, so he took the initiative to find him and said to him: "Are you surprised why the coach said that?"

Salah nodded, and then expressed all the doubts in his heart.

"...I think the breakthrough I assisted you with was the most beautiful. The head coach said I did a great job, but he didn't mean this. What else could it be because of? None of my previous attempts were successful..."

"Klopp was talking about your previous performances."

"Huh?" Salah couldn't understand it at all.What’s the point of not praising high-profile performances but praising those that failed?
"When we were pressed, it was your tenacious attacks that helped us gain room for maneuver. Without your failed attempts, how could Atletico Madrid choose to recycle in the final stage? They didn't recycle, How could there be my goal later?" Lin Yi patted Salah on the shoulder. "So Klopp is praising you for your brave attempts and your spirit of not giving up."

After being explained by Lin Yi, Salah first tilted his head and thought about it, and then suddenly realized.

"So it's not a waste of opportunity if I play like this?"

"Of course it counts!" Lin Yi said. "But no one can seize every opportunity. If you can seize one out of ten opportunities, it is considered very good. The important thing is not the result of failure. The important thing is not not making mistakes, but learning from mistakes. Find the path to success—doesn’t it sound trivial?” Lin Yi asked Salah.
