Chapter 491: Crazy Liverpool (Daily Transition)

On the sidelines.

Klopp shook his head with a bitter smile, smiling and smiling until he bit his lower lip.

After regaining his composure, he vigorously raised his hand, urging his players to keep attacking.

There's still time; we cannot give up.

On the other side.

Dino and the substitute players excitedly raised both fists.

"Boss, everything is under our control."

"Liverpool made a mistake at the last moment!"

After Tuchel's brief celebration, he regained a solemn expression: "We cannot be careless; we could also make a mistake at this stage."

In the livestream.

The big screen replayed the entire goal.

【As Li Kang's partner, could Kanté also possibly make it onto the scorer list next season?】

【Multiple points of attack, Kanté's timing for forward runs is too perfect.】

【Like a barren tree blooming again, looking back now, Conte's overhaul of Chelsea's midfield has many points worth learning for his successors.】

【Li Mingdeng is the linchpin tonight, commanding the field invincibly, holding the team's formation together so it doesn't fall apart.】

【The ball is alive!!!】

【Playing so hard, what about the second leg of the Champions League?】

Karius was gesturing at his own eyes and his teammates' height.

He had experienced a concussion when young, resulting in partial visual spatial impairment: it is harder for him than ordinary people to accurately judge the position of distant objects.

Even so, the German became a top-tier European goalkeeper.

Van Dijk took responsibility for the conceded goal upon himself and apologized to his teammates in the back line.

Although Arnold has a rebellious personality, prone to direct confrontations with opponents, he is especially good to his teammates, never complaining, never spreading his hands.

The match resumed.

Firmino passed the ball back to Van Dijk.

Liverpool did not give up.

Continue the all-out attack!

"We have to give it our all!"

"There are six minutes left in regular time, and we still need to see how much stoppage time there will be."

"We can't advance; Chelsea has no intention of defending deep, their pressing net keeps pushing forward."

"Wijnaldum can only pass the ball back, handing it to the back line to reorganize."

The high-intensity match caused players on both sides to make mistakes to some extent.

Time ticked by second by second.

Liverpool fans grew increasingly tense, hoping for hope to appear.

The 89th minute.

Robertson received another pass back from a teammate.

He observed Firmino making a backward run.

He decisively sent a long pass!

Near the midfield circle.

Bakayoko, Kanté, and Fabregas simultaneously double-teamed Liverpool's hybrid striker.

Ultimately, affected by declining stamina, the defensive plan could not be executed accurately.

Firmino received the ball with his back to goal and laid it off to Emre Can, who was in a comfortable position for a long pass.

The latter came from Bayern's youth academy, and Samuel praised him as 'the second Kroos'.

His utility-player identity in midfield hid a top-tier spatial awareness.

Boom!

The football was like a burst of fireworks.

It broke through the gap left by Bakayoko and Fabregas being out of position.

Its trajectory did not stall.

Then it tore through Chelsea's defensive line.

"Wow!"

"The whole of Anfield seemed to be trembling!"

"Liverpool's midfield, finally free to shine, displayed its talent!"

"Mané!"

Mané was boiling all over.

He dug his studs into the turf.

Speed exploded.

He easily overtook Azpilicueta.

After receiving the ball, he continued forward.

Salah on the other side was pedaling like a fire wheel!

"David Luiz's early movement!"

"Rüdiger kept up with the opponent's forward speed!"

No problem.

Mané, reaching the edge of the penalty area, began to drag the ball sideways! Cut inside!

Chelsea's penalty area.

Azpilicueta and Cahill arrived late.

David Luiz and Rüdiger helped teammates create an opportunity to fall back into position.

Four defenders against two!

Mané's steps were getting slower.

At the moment of being double-teamed.

He lightly tapped the back of his heel backward.

The ball rolled toward the outside of the penalty area.

That was very imaginative.

A black figure suddenly burst out!

Wijnaldum.

He wasn't just a mere workhorse; he had once been a technically gifted midfielder in the Eredivisie, with lethal finishing, and had even scored a haul!

Give it all!

Don't keep taking it to the byline!

Wow!

A close-range blast!

Buffon!

Buffon's positioning was very sound.

He had already noticed the run of the Dutch black-egg midfielder.

But the oncoming black shadow exceeded the angle he could cover.

The ball flew almost along the diagonal between the crossbar and the post, blasting into Chelsea's net!

1:2!!!

A glimmer of hope.

The hope of leveling the score.

To defend Anfield's honor.

No celebration.

Wijnaldum, Mané, and Salah almost simultaneously rushed into the net, grabbed the ball, and ran back hard!

There's still time.

There are still a few minutes left!

The goddess of victory hasn't completely abandoned Liverpool!

At Anfield Stadium, Liverpool fans loudly cheered the players.

The terrifying momentum it generated was chilling.

Beautiful!

A goal from a zero-degree angle!

Excellent teamwork, excellent fast break!

Liverpool pulled one back!

The fourth official held up the LED board, adding three minutes of stoppage time.

Is there still a chance?

Will a miracle happen?

Anfield Stadium never lacks miracles!

The live stream.

【This ball is unstoppable, absolutely a dead angle!】

【Damn! If Liverpool had played like this earlier, wouldn't it have worked?】

【Why keep making the midfielders do grunt work? The three midfielders used to be technical players—don't keep using them to serve the fullbacks!】

【No, if we had played like that earlier, the formation would be even easier to break apart.】

【Mourinho's prediction was right; 19 years later, Liverpool will surely transform into a possession-based team.】

【Most players' stamina has dropped a lot; I think there's still a ball.】

【Good people stay safe; in the last eight minutes of the match, the big ball came alive!】

Klopp excitedly clenched his fists and waved them three times in the air.

The farmer's three punches.

Tuchel pressed both hands down, signaling his disciples not to mess around!

In the last few minutes, we must not fall into Liverpool's rhythm.

Bakayoko looked guilty.

Li Kang patted his little stewed egg to comfort him.

Chelsea's conceded goal came because Liverpool likewise played unexpectedly, attacking resources suddenly shifted, Emre Can's divine pass, Mané's heel-back flick, and Wijnaldum's close-range blast.

It wasn't that hard.

Liverpool, fighting with their backs to the wall, would likewise expose a huge weakness.

The match restarted from midfield.

Hazard kicked off and passed back to Li Kang.

Liverpool's front line quickly launched a frantic press.

Exhausting their last stamina, they fought for the final attacking chance!

"It's meaningless!"

"Li Kang and Fabregas's two-foot passing link broke through Liverpool's high defensive line!"

"Wow! Diego Costa!"

The match had already reached the 91st minute.

Fans from both sides involuntarily held their breath.

In a vague premonition: another goal was coming.

Diego Costa was a bit tired from giving his all tonight.

The moment the forward run was triggered.

The supporting foot paused.

It was a beat slow.

Van Dijk retreated at high speed toward the landing point and intercepted the ball a step ahead.

Karius rushed out of the penalty area, raising his hand for the ball!

Klopp's body language was extremely exaggerated, wildly gesturing for his players to push into Chelsea's penalty area!

A spectacular scene unfolded.

Karius trapped the ball.

In Liverpool's half, only a German goalkeeper remained.

All the red jerseys stood at the edge of Chelsea's penalty area.

The match time had reached the 92nd minute.

The last chance!

The final attacking opportunity!

The anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' floated above Anfield, the singing ringing loud.

"The final minute!"

"Can Liverpool create a miracle?"

"A do-or-die battle!"

"A desperate struggle!"

"It's here!"

Karius's gaze was resolute.

He leaned his body.

He swung his arm.

He kicked.

Thump!

The ball left the ground and flew over the midfield line!

It plunged straight into the dense crowd in front of Chelsea's penalty area!

Klopp and Tuchel trembled all over from nervousness.

Buffon shuffled with small steps, quickly adjusting his position.

In the crowd, heads bobbed.

All eyes were fixed on the falling ball!

Smack!

Who knows whose head got knocked!

The ball lost control.

It happened to roll to Bakayoko's feet.

The time had reached 92 minutes and 28 seconds.

In an instant.

Liverpool's formation frantically contracted.

Chelsea's formation quickly spread out.

Bakayoko didn't panic; what he needed to do now was launch a long clearance.

Boom!

His dark, thick leg swung hard.

His strength gave out, his movement distorted, and he mis-kicked.

The ball didn't fly out of bounds; instead, it looped toward the front.

In front of the midfield line.

Chelsea's number 10, his jersey flying.

In front of Li Kang, only Karius remained.

"Bakayoko's precise guidance, a flying fire meteor!"

"Li Kang's speed is too fast!"

"After battling a high-intensity match for 92 minutes, he still has such abundant stamina to sprint!"

"One-on-one"

A super long-range lob shot!

Li Kang's vision did not show any legendary phantom.

From God's perspective, a reasonable route is deduced.

A slight leg swing.

Carrius had no time to retreat; he gazed at the distant flawless shooting stance, and despair welled up in his heart.

The ball flew over his head.

It landed heavily six yards in front of the goal and bounced into the net.

1:3!!!

Anfield Stadium fell silent for a second, then thunderous applause erupted.

Liverpool fans stared blankly at the LED screen overhead; one second, two seconds, three seconds passed as the second hand swept past twelve—93 minutes had elapsed, no time remained.

They did not blame the team for the last‑minute gamble.

The players on the pitch are true warriors.

A killer goal!

A true killer goal!

Li Kang killed the match, killed Anfield's last hope.

A flawless ultra‑long‑range lob!

Exquisite footwork.

Ten minutes ago, nobody imagined this match would still yield three goals!

Applause was also given to Liverpool.

They did not give up, gave their all, and fought until the very last moment!

The finest moment in a person's life is not fame or success, but pressing on despite sorrow and despair.

A true warrior, having faced life's truth, still loves life!

The live stream.

【Truly killing the match.】

【Was that offside?】

【Not offside; at the outset they hadn't even crossed the midfield line.】

【Time's up—why hasn't the referee blown the whistle to end the game?】

【Premier League referees strictly enforce FIFA rules: if a goal comes in the dying moments, the ball is returned to the center circle, play restarts, then the whistle blows to end.】

【Bundesliga referees simply blow the final whistle.】

【Earth defense mission failed!】

【Liverpool is awesome, able to match the Blue Cosmos side to this degree!】

The ball was placed back on the center circle.

Firmino lightly tapped the ball.

Beep! Beep-beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the match.

Players from both sides collapsed onto the grass.

They had fought to exhaustion.

The team medics from both sides, carrying sports drinks, jogged onto the pitch.

Dino passed Li Kang a dry towel and quickly peeled a banana.

Tuchel and Klopp shook hands, embraced, and walked together toward the tunnel.

Anfield Stadium was no longer rousing; instead, warm encouragement filled the air.

Even in defeat, no fans left the stadium voluntarily.

Just as the team anthem says, 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.

The referee crew was also exhausted.

Not only was the referee out of breath, the assistant referees were likewise soaked in sweat.

The match is over.

What a thrilling, spectacular red‑blue clash!

It will become an unforgettable classic.

The final ten minutes were stirring and heart‑pounding!

Thanks to both teams for the visual treat.

Chelsea continued its Premier League dominance!

The unstoppable Blue Cosmos side, ruling Europe!

Chelsea's era has dawned!

After this loss, Liverpool may well fall out of the Premier League title race.

No matter; we saw Anfield's resilience, unity, and never‑give‑in spirit! That spirit runs through the club's century‑long history— they can be beaten, but never broken!

One day, Liverpool will again stand atop Europe.

The commentator's mouth ran dry.

This match wore out not only the players but also the coaches, referees, and commentator.

Post‑match press conference.

The reporters were raring to go.

Tuchel calmed his emotions and patiently answered the media's questions.

"In the first 82 minutes of the match, we played very beautifully."

"Tactically, we completely restrained the opponent."

"It's not just my in-game adjustments; Li's suggestion is more important."

"His contribution to the team is not only reflected in his own performance."

"Liverpool were very tenacious; they almost equalized the score in the final moments."

"I will not blame any Chelsea player; this match had a special nature, just like when we previously faced West Ham United."

Chelsea's head coach did not let up.

After leaving the hall, he immediately thought about the battle of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

A moment later.

Klopp did not look like a loser.

He was in good spirits, lavishly praising the players on the field.

"How to strengthen to make Liverpool's lineup more perfect? No, in my view, this Liverpool is already perfect."

"Our setup on both offense and defense is even stronger than Chelsea's."

"Liverpool has no problems; it's just that Chelsea did better in some aspects."

The midfield was ruined by Li Kang and Kanté, resulting in the Red Arrow Trio having hardly any space to play.

Anfield Stadium, the noise gradually subsided.

The breeze by the Mersey River brushed the turf.

Players from both sides lined up to thank their own fans.

After the crowd dispersed, Li Kang and Karius exchanged jerseys and shared a brief embrace.

"Li, keep going; we'll meet again on the stage of the Champions League final!"

Upon hearing those words.

Buffon couldn't help but mutter: "The Pope is 81 years old this year."
