The Liverpool players gathered around Willard and hugged, high-fived and clapped their shoulders excitedly in celebration, while the Swansea players and fans were a little stunned.
From such a long distance, Willard and others accurately sent the ball into the goal, and the two goals were less than ten minutes apart.
When Karius scored in the first 3 minutes, Swansea thought they were lucky today and had a chance to win against Liverpool and take all three points!
As a result, only in the 17th minute, the 1-0 lead turned into a 1-2 deficit, which was reversed by Willard's two goals.
Now, Swansea can no longer hold on. Even if they keep this score until the end, they will still lose, which will not help them avoid relegation at all. If we can score a goal, equalize the score, and finally get 1 point of the tie, it will really help to avoid relegation.
Therefore, after Willard and his teammates finished celebrating and the game restarted, Swansea took advantage of the kick-off opportunity in the center circle to launch a counterattack, trying to equalize the score, and then see if the situation was necessary to defend.
What was unexpected was that as soon as Swansea kicked the ball out, they were pressed forward by all the Liverpool players.
Moreover, Liverpool, who have become accustomed to Klopp's high-position pressing tactics, have a clear division of labor, extremely fast attack speed, and weak ball-holding ability. The Swansea players did not dare to break through one-on-one. When they saw someone pressing up, He passed the ball backwards in a panic. As a result, when defender Amat passed the ball back to Fabianski, he was forced to kick it by Velarde. Although the ball was passed in the direction of the goal, it was kicked. There was no force in the kick, and the ball rolled extremely slowly on the ground.
Before goalkeeper Fabianski could rush out of the penalty area to catch the ball, center Firmino rushed past another central defender Vanderhorn, and then grabbed the ball before Vanderhorn turned back to defend. , facing the attacking goalkeeper, he decisively volleyed the ball to the far corner without stopping the ball.
Fabianski pounced subconsciously, but failed to touch the ball, and the ball flew into the goal without any suspense.
"Ouch!!!"
"The ball went in again!"
"Oh my god, Liverpool have just celebrated their last goal. Swansea have just taken the ball from the center circle and passed it all the way back. Before they had time to attack forward, defender Amat was forced by Willard's high position. There was a return pass error and the ball was kicked."
"Firmino ran forward at high speed, grabbed the ball before the defender and goalkeeper, and volleyed the ball into the Swansea goal."
"Liverpool scored two goals in one minute, extending the score to 3-1."
"This speed is too fast. Many Swansea fans may still regret the last goal they conceded, but they didn't expect to concede another goal."
"Liverpool's form is a bit scary in this game."
"It's only the 18th minute now. It's hard to imagine what the final score will be!"
Some of the more than a thousand Liverpool fans who accompanied the team on the away game couldn't believe their eyes. They were still applauding and sighing for Willard's last goal. Unexpectedly, Swansea conceded another goal just after taking the ball from the center circle. Liverpool fell behind by one goal in the first 3 minutes and turned into a 3-1 lead. .
This ball also dealt a heavy blow to Swansea's morale, causing them to make some passes even more panicked after the center circle kick-off again. Soon, under Liverpool's high pressure, they passed the ball wide and passed to the sideline.
Fortunately, this time Liverpool did not grab the ball directly in the stadium to form a quick counterattack. They were able to shrink their formation and use intensive defense to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Of course, because Willard scored two goals in a row, Swansea also strictly defended him. Even if Willard is outside the penalty area, there will be Swansea forwards or midfielders following and interfering with him. Even if they cannot prevent him from shooting, they will still interfere with his shooting movements.
This kind of thing is really impossible to do, and it will definitely interfere with Willard, even if they don't touch the ball.
In the 21st minute, Willard completed another shot outside the penalty area about 30 meters away from the goal. However, the shot was interfered by the approach of Swansea forward Borja Baston. Although the opponent did not touch the ball, in order to finish the shot before the opponent, Willard's movements were a little hasty and the kicking part was not touched. Accurate, the ball finally missed the post.
Although it did not hit the goal frame, the ball did not miss much, and it still scared the Swansea goalkeeper and players.
After this shot, Willard received more marking and interference. But even so, with Willard's awareness, physique, speed, ability to move without the ball, etc., Swansea simply can't keep a close eye on him.
Velarde can always find a chance to shoot, and sometimes, even if there is interference, his strong physique can stand and then complete a high-quality shot.
In the 33rd minute, Willard dribbled the ball past two people and was grabbed by midfielder Jack Cork. He still opened his arms, leaned on the opponent's body, and then used his left foot to hit the right side of the penalty area. A volley was completed about 22 meters away from the goal.
Of course, the inverse foot does not have a 100 shot, but the inverse foot's attributes are 91 and its shooting ability is 100, so the inverse foot's shooting ability is also 91.
This is already a very high shooting skill, and with good performance, Willard played a high-quality left-footed world wave outside the penalty area, passed through the crowd and flew into the lower left corner of the goal.
Swansea defender Vanderhorn stretched his foot in the penalty area, but the ball was too fast and he could not catch up. The ball passed in front of his toes.
"Oh my god, the ball went in again!"
"Willard has scored a hat-trick!"
"It's only the 33rd minute of the game, and Velarde has already scored three goals, helping Liverpool lead 4-1 away from home, which has already killed the suspense of the game."
"Facing Liverpool's defense, it is impossible for Swansea to recover from a three-goal deficit."
"Furthermore, depending on the state of Willard and Liverpool, Willard may continue to score goals."
"It's really scary."
Completing a hat-trick in a football game is definitely a commendable achievement, let alone in a highly competitive Premier League competition.
Therefore, although Willard knew that he would not miss goals after his "shots" increased to 100, and there was a high probability that he would still score more goals in this game, this time after completing the hat trick, Willard rushed to the field excitedly On the side, he had a warm interactive celebration with his teammates and fans.
More than a thousand visiting Liverpool fans in the stands applauded and cheered enthusiastically, feeling sincerely happy for the team's big lead and for Willard's hat-trick.
Other Swansea fans looked at Willard like a monster.
Perhaps, they are thinking, before the first half is over, you have already scored among the three of us. After this game, how many goals do you have to score against us?
