"It's like this guy has eyes in the back of his head. How did he see Reus?"
"Just be careful!" Kalg said helplessly.
"And watch out for fouls outside the penalty area. His free kicks are dangerous too."
The Liverpool players all nodded.
Reina quickly threw the ball out, looking to start a counter-attack for Liverpool.
The ball quickly crossed the halfway line and was passed directly to Kuyt up front.
The Dutchman immediately laid the ball off to Gerrard and turned to make a run.
But just as Gerrard began to push forward with the ball, Sven Bender suddenly cut in from the side with a slide tackle, taking down both the man and the ball and leaving Gerrard on the turf.
The ball rolled to Shahin.
The referee didn't blow his whistle.
Shahin then passed to Schmelzer.
Schmelzer immediately carried the ball at pace down the left flank.
