PLAY PROCESS 1ST HALF

The play began as well as it to expect was, because the FC Liverpool wanted to obtain fast reconciliation. Already in the third minute Ryan Babel, after preliminary work of Lucas, had a good chance, but its attempt went over the box. „The Reds “produced powerfully pressure and the guests had problems into the play to come and could free itself also only with difficulty. In the respected minute calculated Rami Lucas in the Strafraum put. The due eleven-meter sink Gerrard ice cold (9.). Only one minute later proved its class to Torres and left its opponent untouched, but its shot was repelled to the hitting a corner ball. Only the Englishmen and the Frenchman played succeeded hardly somewhat.

On the other side Torres the preliminary decision succeeded. From the defense a long ball came on the Spaniard, who fackelte not for a long time and obtained with a beautiful conclusion the 2:0 (49.). The interior defender duo made thereby no good figure. In the connection it tried Florent Balmont from the distance, but its shot was not a danger. Both teams wanted to after-put, but both crews did not become compellingly dangerous. Mostly always a defense play had a leg between them. Many balls were lost in punishing space proximity and the play river was interrupted in this period always again by Fouls. In the 73. The guests had minute after a standard of Obraniak a good chance. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang spitzelte the ball only completely scarcely over the transverse slat and reconciliation have obtained could, if not even must. On the other side Emiliano Insua of the punishing space border (79.) twisted. Lille invested now more, could however hardly clear gate chances erspielen itself. Shortly before conclusion Kuyt fought for the ball and served Gerrard. Its hammer could be only abgeklatscht by Landreau and Torres stood gold correct and fixed with its second hit the ascent (89.).

The fast guidance hit for Liverpool was very important, because the guests were not yet at all in the play, when Landreau had to get the ball from the net. Similarly importantly also the fast 2:0 was after the page overflow, because thus the moral of the Frenchmen suffered a clear absorber.

PLAYER OF THE PLAY: Fernado TORRES

Although also its kongenialer partner, Steven Gerrard offered an outstanding achievement, the Spaniard with its double luggage was mainresponsible after the break for the ascent „of the Reds “. The Spaniard, who was injured in this season already often, is an absolute Goalgetter.

ARBITRATOR – NOTE: 6

Nicola Rizzoli had the happening almost over the entire play time in the grasp. The Italian worked with some decisions somewhat uncertainly, lay however with tricky situations mostly correctly.

PLAY NOTE: 7

Above all Liverpool offered a strong, ambitious conception, which could satisfy at least the own fans. With speed football and a high run readiness one wanted the guests into the own half urge, which succeeded also over far distances. With much body employment one could make the attack efforts of Lille early destroyed and had everything in the grasp. Even if Liverpool offered attractive football, we would have seen gladly more from Lille.
